Who are the 28 stars in Journey to the West?

Twenty-eight stars, a great creation of ancient astronomy in China, continuously passed through the southern transit? The stars are divided into 28 groups, and each group is named after a word: horn, sound, surname, room, heart, tail, dustpan, bucket, cow, female, deficiency, danger, room, wall, tower, stomach, ang, bi, tapir, ginseng, well, ghost, willow, star and Zhang.

Twenty-eight stars are divided along the ecliptic and equator; Since ancient times, people have set 24 solar terms according to the appearance of the four seasons and the transit. Did the ancients return 28 parts? # 123; There are four large star areas, which are named as: Oriental Dragon, Northern Xuanwu, Western White Tiger and Southern Suzaku, with seven nights in each direction.

Twenty-eight stars surround the celestial atmosphere? The surface keeps rotating, with the change of day and night, with the change of the number of yin and the number of yin, it contains the celestial phenomena in the east, west, north and south directions respectively. However, in ancient geomantic science, 28 stars were divided into four directions, namely, the four elephant lines of Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qiansuzaku and Houxuanwu.

The four images in the Book of Changes are Lao Yang, Laoyin, Shaoyang and Shaoyin, and the four images in Feng Shui are "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku and Later Xuanwu". Confucian classics say that "Fu Xuanwu Gongbei, Suzaku South, Qinglong Pandong, and White Tiger Gathering West, the four potentials should be in all directions, and the acupoints are in the middle. If you get soft gas, you will be lucky, and if you get it, you will be fierce." The location of these four images is the geographical location of Feng Shui. Front, back, left and right are all balanced, harmonious, supple and prosperous, and only in this way can we have a good geography.

For the so-called left green dragon, right white tiger, former Suzaku, and later Xuan fighters, this is sitting north to south; If you sit south to north, on the contrary, it is left white tiger and right dragon, before Xuanwu and after Suzaku; Because dragon belongs to oriental wood, white tiger belongs to western gold, Xuanwu water in the north and Suzaku fire in the south, this is certain. It's just a habit that artists always open their mouths at the left Qinglong and the right White Tiger, regardless of the east, west and north.

In order to facilitate the observation of the five planets [gold, wood, water, fire and earth? # 123; Operationally, they will choose 28 constellations near the ecliptic and equator as symbols, which are collectively called 28 constellations or 28 stars. Their names are Jiao, Kang, Shi, Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji (these seven stars make up the dragon image and appear in the eastern sky at the vernal equinox), so they are called "Seven Nights of the Oriental Dragon". # 123; Fighting, ox, female, air, danger, house and wall [these seven stars form a group of tortoise and snake intertwined images, which appear in the northern sky at the vernal equinox], so it is called "seven nights in Xuanwu, North China"? # 123; , Kui, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Mouth and Ginseng [These seven stars form the image of a tiger and appear in the western sky at the vernal equinox], so they are called "Seven Nights of the Western White Tiger"? # 123; Well, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings and birds [these seven stars form the image of a flock of birds, which appear in the southern sky at the vernal equinox], so they are called "Seven Nights in the South Suzaku"? # 123; An animal image composed of the above seven nights is collectively called four elephants, [four dimensions, four beasts? # 123; The ancients used the appearance and arrival times of the four elephants and the twenty-eight constellations to determine the key methods of seasons. The five elements of the twenty-eight constellations, the tools used by modern Feng Shui masters, were determined from here. From the above data, it can be proved that the 28 constellations are the changes of the five elements in a year, rather than the usage of the 28 solar terms used in the modern peasant calendar. The ancients resigned themselves to their fate and looked at the solar terms in the south, so there were left oriental dragons, right western white tigers and post-oriental tigers.

Tai Chi is the noumenon, and the two instruments are yin and yang, which are called "Zuo Qinglong" and "Right White Tiger" in Kanyu, and the four elephants are called "Zuo Qinglong, Right White Tiger, Former Suzaku and Later Xuanwu" in Kanyu. And most people call it the dragon and tiger blade theory? # 123; Right? It's just synonymous with left and right, not the secular theory that there really are "dragons" and "tigers"? # 123; It is nonsense and wrong to say that dragons can't release water and tigers can't open doors to install toilets. As for the dragon face representing boys, it represents the tiger face of girls; It is also incorrect to say that the left side is higher than the right side, because of the ancient mentality of worshipping Yang and restraining Yin. In short, regardless of the yin and yang family, it is good to balance the left and right, and the door can be opened or closed, depending on it. # 123; It is ok to stand in different directions according to the situation of gas and land, and there is no need to be superstitious about dragon and tiger.
