Speaking of astrology

Divination is a means for human beings to ask the gods for instructions or obtain emotional will. This witchcraft has a long history.

Zhan Jing in Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty is a divination book by Qu Tansida, which summarizes all kinds of omen modes before Tang Dynasty. The whole book is 120. It can be seen that ancient divination witchcraft in China is very developed. The objects of divination include heaven, earth, sun and moon, animals, plants and grains, and the methods of divination are even more strange, such as tortoise shell divination, easy divination, money divination, animal divination, Hua Fu and word separation. The divination of the sun, moon and stars is collectively called astrology, that is, astrology or astrology.

The earliest astrologers in China were Gan De of Qi, the stone god of Wei and Wu Xian, the minister of Shang King Taiwu. The first two are recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records of the Heavenly Palace. According to this case, all the history books used to write a section for astrology.

Astronomy is separated from astrology. In the era when Gan and Shi lived, astronomy and astrology were mixed together. Shi Gan and others want to be poor, which is not the truth of natural science. They are using all materials and means to study the relationship between astronomical phenomena and people.

The planets visible to the naked eye of the ancients are five major planets, called the five elements. The ancients endowed the five elements with different attributes to explain nature and society. The five elements are intertwined and complicated. The sky is like a giant balloon. The observer stands in the center of the balloon, while the sun, moon and stars are attached to the wall of the celestial sphere. The balloon is spinning. If the celestial sphere with a certain width above the observer's head is called the zodiac, different stars are scattered in different areas of the zodiac, while the planet, the sun and the moon run in their own cycles in the zodiac. Astrology connects different regions of the zodiac with different countries on the ground. The boundary of this region is divided according to the period of the movement of old stars. Jupiter is the second brightest star in the sky, second only to Venus in brightness. Jupiter is also the largest planet in the solar system. Because the year-old star orbits the ecliptic once every 1 1.9 years, if the year-old star moves in the area of one star, the ecliptic can be divided into twelve stars, which is equivalent to the zodiac in western astrology. The zodiac was invented randomly by the Babylonians in Cuba. Since then, the stars in each palace have been regarded as a constellation, and these constellations have been added to the image of man and beast in ancient Greek mythology to become twelve constellations. The popular twelve constellations today are only one kind of ancient zodiac division, but they are said by astrologers to be the inevitable result. In the ancient Warring States period, the ecliptic was also divided into twenty-eight nights, and the twenty-eight nights in the Historical Records of Tiangong corresponded to different states. Such as Jiao, Kang and Lao Su correspond to the week; Accommodation and mental accommodation correspond to Yuzhou. Because planets move, for example, Jupiter enters arcturus, there is some omen in Ohio. Because astrologers have a 28-night watch, corresponding to each state and county, there are abnormal phenomena such as planetary interference, solar eclipse and lunar eclipse on that star, which means what will happen in a country or a state on the ground. On the other hand, we only need to look at the stars to predict which country and which state.

The sun is very bright. How do you know which planet it is on? It turns out that the ancients observed the position of the stars in the sun at sunset. For example, when the sun sets on the horizon and the stars are faintly visible, we can know which star appears in the west after the sun sets, and from the observation, we can know which star is in the west and east of a star, thus inferring which star the sun is in.

The anomalies of stars mainly include solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, comet, meteor and the appearance of various planets. The positions of different planets are also under consideration. For example, when Jupiter is in the heart, which star are the other four planets in, and what kind of geometric relationship they form, all of which have some hidden meanings. The mechanism of this star career is consistent at home and abroad. For example, the most auspicious day in modern digital superstition in China is1August 99 18, but it is considered unlucky because the planets in the horoscope form a cross with the sun and the earth. Japanese astrologer Miyoshi Shima translated the Century by the French wizard Nostradamus, claiming that the "end of the world" was coming, and made a big fuss about the big cross. This statement also involves the "Millennium" theory believed by Catholicism, which holds that at the end of this century, the devil will soon be released from the bondage, and the end of the world will be at this moment. This heresy has caused panic among witchcraft believers in the world, and we have told the truth.

In addition to the twenty-eight lodging accounts, Tang Kaiyuan also introduced the "Chinese and foreign palace accounts" of Shi, Gan and Wu. The five stars refer to the old star, the twinkling star, the full star, the rising star and the Taibai star, which are called wood, fire, earth, water and gold today. Chinese and foreign palaces refer to stars beyond five stars and twenty-eight nights. It is normal for stars to hide at sunrise and appear at sunset, but sometimes it is a sign that stars should hide and not appear, that is, an unknown sign. It is also a sign that stars will win or shrink sooner or later. The Book of the Heavenly Palace said that once "stars" and "fleas" were eclipsed by the moon and were named comets and celestial clothes. If you don't come out for a while, there will be no peace; If you don't come out at four o'clock, the world will be hungry. When it comes out, it is because when cold is against temperature, when temperature is against cold. "If you can't get out, you have to fight and find a soldier. "The star is closest to the sun, and it takes only 88 days to go around the sun. Its angle of view with the sun is very small, always around the sun, covered by the sun, making people unable to see clearly. Because of the disturbance of the atmosphere near the horizon, it seems to fluctuate in water, so it is named mercury. When the stars are in the west of the sun, they can still be seen before sunrise, that is, when they come out, they can't be seen if they are in the east of the sun. Predicting the fortune of the cold and warm weather in the world is really a busy astrologer.

The five-star "combination and divergence" is an important basis for star occupation. Meeting is meeting on a certain star. It is common for some of the five elements to gather in a certain star, but in which star and which will gather together, there are different signs. Dispersion refers to the aggregation without hierarchy, that is, the aggregation that breaks the routine. Crime is a crime, that is, the planet travels to the star at close range, and the light within seven inches is probably the minimum standard, which is a bad omen of crime. The range of charges is very wide, including five-star crime, 28-night five-star crime and all-star five-star crime. Twenty-eight stars refer to horns, cymbals, kang, room, heart, tail, dustpan, barrel, cow, female, deficiency, danger, room, wall, chestnut, building, abdomen, cymbals, blue, Gou, Shen, respect, ghost, willow, star and Zhang. Every night should be a sign of local people. Guardian, guardian refers to the planet's stay in a star during its operation, which is generally a bad omen. Defense is not a crime, because it is not close contact, and it is not as light as seven inches.

Mr. Yu Guangyuan thought Kamei Zhan and Xing Zhan were excuses for ancient ministers to give advice to the emperor. The minister wanted the emperor to do something, but he was afraid that the emperor would not listen, so he used God's will to express his opinions. At the same time, it also avoids the risks brought by improper strategies. But this is only one of the reasons for the formation of divination, and its role in avoiding risks is very limited. Carl sagan thought that "the astrologers in China's court will be put to death if their predictions are inaccurate, so many astrologers changed their astronomical records to conform to the events that happened later. Astrology has become a hodgepodge of vague and distorted observations, mathematics and records. " The formation of astrology has its profound philosophical foundation. The ancients hoped to find signs of personnel changes and the law of things development. They naturally associate personnel with changes in natural things. China astrology is a kind of royal astrology, which divines state affairs. Although this astrology theory is generally applicable to all sentient beings, in the view of correspondence between man and nature, the brightest stars are assigned to big people, and ordinary people can only correspond to some unknown little stars. Stars occupy meteors, comets and other visions corresponding to human disasters, but ordinary people do not think that this indicates that something bad will happen to their families, but indicates social events, such as "disaster year" and "famine year". Birth astrology, the main western divination of personal numerology, did not appear in ancient China. China's numerology is more based on birth and appearance.

Western astrology has a good market among teenagers. This is because the birth of western astrology has partly adapted to the psychology of civilians, especially teenagers. Western astrology corresponds the zodiac to human destiny and fabricates various symbolic meanings. For example, Aries (March 21~ April 20) is characterized by "courage, fighting spirit, leadership, realism, responsibility, arrogance, spontaneity, passion, vitality and instinct". Although these "regulations" are absurd, they do not affect people's belief in them. As a teenager who begins to pay attention to his personality and future, when he can't find a psychological book closer to his reality, he often tries to look up the booklet Constellation and Destiny. Idolization and Taiwan Province star's "constellation" incitement make it easier for fans with the same "constellation" to become staunch Taiwan Province people. Western astrology often wears the laurel of science and becomes pseudoscience. This is very deceptive. Elizabeth Teissiere, a French wizard and astrologer, used this logic to integrate astrology into the scientific team. She said: Astrology can predict the future, and prediction is a scientific field. Although she admits that prediction is the weakness of astrology, her implication is that astrology belongs to the field of science. Today, one of the ways astrology enters the hall of science is to list the influential astronomers in history, who are also astrologers, such as Ptolemy, Tycho and Kepler. The second technique is to describe astrology as astrology, astrology and astrology in scientific terms, and find out scientific terms such as cosmic energy, cosmic influence, radiation, celestial evolutionary chemistry, precise science, personality science and modern astrology to make it more confusing.

Astrologers also confuse believers by fabricating evidence statistically. Serious scientists can't get the statistics of astrologers. 1975, physicist John McGoway counted the birthdays of 16634 scientists and 6475 politicians, and the results showed that they were not concentrated in a certain constellation, but evenly distributed in various constellations. Dean, an Australian chemist and astrologer, once organized more than 50 people to write an encyclopedia of astrology, covering all astrology books and periodicals published in the past 70 or 80 years and studying all available astrology materials. However, the conclusion is that there is no obvious evidence that classical astrology can be used to make any predictions.

On the one hand, many people believe in astrology, and 58% of the French, 1 3 of the Germans and 75% of the British believe that astrology is scientific: in the United States, there are110,000 professional astrologers and 575,000 amateur astrologers; On the other hand, astrological witchcraft has not been recognized by science and mainstream society. Elizabeth Teissiere, a French wizard and astrologer, once put Chinese Valentine's Day on French TV. However, after only a few issues, this plan was ousted by the joint statement of 186 scientists (including 18 Nobel Prize winners) in the American Humanist magazine. Reagan, who believed in Joan Jacqueline, was also embarrassed in the Iran-contra incident because he believed in witchcraft. Americans were very angry when they learned that the president in charge of his own destiny believed in witchcraft.

It is difficult to stop the spread of astrological beliefs in China. A survey conducted by the author in seven universities in China shows that 78% of college students know their horoscopes. If we can't conclude that college students have astrological beliefs, it can at least show that college students care about their horoscopes. Most of their constellation knowledge comes from the mass media-books, magazines and the Internet. Some TV entertainment programs do not forget to introduce their favorite colors or constellations when introducing stars to the audience.
