Were the twelve constellations invented by ancient China people?

No, about 3500 years ago, there was a plain called Mesopotamia in today's Iraq, where a group of Babylonians lived. Legend has it that shepherds in Babylon connect the stars in the night sky and imagine them as 12 shapes, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Babylonians also carved the zodiac on stone tablets, and the sun passed through these constellations every year. It can be seen that the ancient Babylonians had the concept of "year". It is worth mentioning that the image of the zodiac has not changed after thousands of years, and it has also become the origin of western mythology and literature. What's the difference between modern constellations and previous ones? Modern Constellation was founded by the International Astronomical Society in 1930, which brought together experts and scholars from all over the world. In the past, there were different views on constellations except that each country had its own recognition, which also brought great trouble to the research. Especially in the era of navigation, the constellations in the southern hemisphere are set up. Finally, everyone held a meeting to focus on the traditional myths of the West and decided on an 88-constellation recognized all day. Western Constellation View and China Constellation View In ancient China, the western constellations were mostly bright stars, and then the nearby small stars were imagined as the shapes of various animals, people and things. The famous zodiac is made according to the route of the sun in the sky. Later, the Greek and Roman choirs added these signs to the stories of many people and gods, and these fairy tales have been affecting us until today. China's constellation divides the sky into three walls and twenty-eight nights. According to the position of the moon in the sky, it occupies one night every day. Careful readers will immediately think of the lunar calendar used by China people, also called the lunar calendar. The so-called yin is the lunar calendar, meaning the moon. China is not only based on agriculture, but also depends on the moon. I can't believe that the stars in the sky are affecting our lives.
