Chapter 293: Nakshatra
The 28 Nakshatras are the 28 star regions divided by astronomers in ancient China to observe the movement of the sun, moon and five stars, and are the local astronomical creations of Middle-earth to explain the position of the sun, moon and five stars.
The 28 nakshatras are:
Oriental Qinglong Seven Houses: Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei;
Northern Xuanwu Seven Nights: Fighting, Bull, Female, Void, Danger, Room, Wall;
The Seven Houses of the Western White Tiger: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng;
The Seven Houses of the Southern Vermilion Bird: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen;
Each Nakshatra contains a number of stars. As one of the important parts of Chinese culture, it has been widely used in astronomy, religion, literature, astrology, astrology, feng shui, auspicious selection and other techniques in ancient times.
Different fields give it different connotations, and the related content is very complex.
The system of the Twenty-Eight Sukshatras can be traced back to the early Shang period, and was gradually perfected later.
The Twenty-Eight Nakshatras were first used in astronomy, so their place in the history of astronomy is quite important.
The 28 Nakshatras are also known as the 28 Nakshatras, the 28 Nakshatras, and the 28 Stars.
Chinese astronomers divided the visible stars in the sky into 28 groups, called the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras, which is one of the ancient indigenous astronomical theories.
Twenty-eight nakshatras are a circle of stars that divide the stars in the southern midheaven into 28 groups and distribute them along the ecliptic or celestial equator (the earth's equator extends to the sky).
It is divided into four groups, also known as the four elephants, the four beasts, the four dimensions, and the four gods, and each group has seven stars.
Originally, the 28 star officials were chosen to compare the movements of the sun, yin, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as markers for observation.
The meaning of "Su" is similar to the "palace" of the zodiac, which means the constellation table, indicating the position of the sun and the moon and the five stars. Later, as the Heavenly Zone, the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras were mainly used to divide the attribution of the star officials.
The correspondence between the 28 Nakshatras and the 12 earthly branches is as follows:
The earthly branch is the core content of astronomy in ancient China, and it is the most important symbol of astronomy.
The earthly branch is derived from the ancient twenty-eight constellations, another expression of the year. The method of creating the earthly branch is to adopt some of the astrological symbols of the 28 nakshatras.
The twenty-eight Nakshatras start from the Horns and are arranged from west to east, in the same direction as the apparent movement of the Sun and Moon:
The East is called the green dragon: Jiaomu Jiao, Kangjin Dragon, Di Tu Raccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tailed Fire Tiger, Kei Water Leopard;
In the south, it is called the Vermilion Bird: Jingmu Rhino, Ghost Golden Sheep, Liutu Deer, Xingri Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, and Water Worm;
In the West, it is called the White Tiger: Kui Wood Wolf, Lou Jin Dog, Stomach Pheasant, Pleiades Chicken, Bi Yuewu, Fire Monkey, Ginseng Ape Ape;
In the north, it is called Xuanwu: Doumu Hedgehog, Ox Taurus, Female Earth Bat, Void Sun Mouse, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Room Fire Pig, Wall Water Pig.
There are four common ways for the ancients to observe the haunts of the 28 Nakshatras:
The first is to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon at the beginning of the night after dusk and sunset, which is called "dusk";
The second is to observe the stars in the south and central sky at this time, which is called "dusk";
The third is to observe the stars rising on the eastern horizon before dawn when the night is about to set, which is called "morning view" or "pilgrimage";
The fourth is to observe the stars in the sky in Nanzhong at this time, which is called "Danzhong".
In order to facilitate the observation of the movement of the sun, moon and the five planets (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), 28 constellations near the yellow and equator were selected as symbols, collectively known as the 28 constellations or 28 constellations.
Horn, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, these seven constellations form an image of a dragon, the spring equinox is in the eastern sky, so it is called the Oriental Green Dragon Seven Houses; Fighting, Bull, Female, Void, Danger, Room, Wall, these seven constellations form a group of turtles and snakes intertwined image, the spring equinox is in the northern sky, so it is called the Northern Xuanwu Seven Houses; Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, Ginseng, these seven constellations form an image of a tiger, the spring equinox is in the western sky, so it is called the Western White Tiger Seven Houses; Well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing, These seven constellations form the image of a bird, and the spring equinox is in the southern sky, so it is called the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Houses. The images of the four animals composed of the above seven dwellings are collectively called the four elephants, the four dimensions, and the four beasts.
The seasons are determined by the appearance of each of the four signs and the 28 nakshatras and the time of their arrival in the middle of the heavens.
People face the south to look at the direction of the solar terms, so there is a saying that the green dragon in the east on the left, the white tiger in the west on the right, the Xuanwu in the north and the Vermilion Bird in the south. Twenty-Eight Nakshatras and Nine Wilds:
Central Juntian: Jiaosu, Kangsu, Disu;
Oriental sky: house, heart, tail;
Northeast Changing Days: Keiju, Dousu, Niusu;
Northern Xuantian: Female Residence, Void Residence, Dangerous Residence, Chamber;
Northwest Youtian: Bisu, Kuisu, Lousu;
Western Haotian: Stomach Su, Pleiades, Bisu;
Southwest Zhutian: Susu, Betelgeuse, Jingsu;
Southern hot sky: ghosts, willows, stars;
Southeast Yangtian: Zhangsu, Yisu, Zhensu.
The Seven Houses of the East include Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, and Kei. It is the product of the combination of ancient Chinese mythology and astronomy.
The ancients believed that the positions of the stars were eternal, and they could be used as markers to indicate the positions of the sun, moon, and five stars.
After long-term observations, Chinese astronomers have successively selected 28 constellations near the ecliptic equator as coordinates. Because they are arranged in the four directions of the sun, moon, and five stars, much like the place where the sun, moon, and five stars dwell, they are called the twenty-eight nakshatras. It is also divided into four palaces of east, south, west and north according to the direction and season and the four elephants, each palace has seven houses, and the seven houses belong to each palace are imagined as an animal, thinking that it is "the four spirits of the sky, with the four directions".
