How did the ancients judge the change of things with five-star occupations?

Planetary occupation is also called "five-star occupation". Five stars occupy a very important position among all the stars. Apart from the sun and the moon, only five planets in the solar system can make regular periodic movements with the naked eye. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming Dynasty, the five stars have always been an important divination object for astrologers.

Because the idea of five elements was very popular in ancient China, five elements naturally attached to the concept of five elements, and even the names of five elements were consistent with the names of five elements.

Planets cover a very wide range, including the calculation and prediction of planetary position, the observation of planetary collision, the observation of planetary color, size, light, forward and backward.

The ancients believed that the five planets had their own characteristics, and their appearance in the sky indicated a situation of social disorder.

For example, Jupiter is a prosperous star, so if Jupiter moves to the corresponding position of a country, the country will get help from heaven, and outsiders can't conquer it. If conquered, it is doomed to failure; Mars is a thief star, and its appearance symbolizes unrest, thieves, diseases, funerals, hunger and so on. So when Mars moves to the corresponding position in a country, the people of that country will suffer disaster.

Venus symbolizes military forces, and the country in which it lives symbolizes war disaster, people's diaspora and regime change; Mercury is the star of war, and there will be war in the country where it lives; Saturn is a lucky star, and the country where Saturn is located is bound to gain something.

Stars also have independent professional styles, which are roughly divided into 28 nights, middle officials and foreign officials. Astrologers keep carefully observing various constellations to see if they have changed. A trend indicates the change of human society.

Astrologers believe that the tail star is the main water and the main monarch and minister. When the tail star shines, the emperor will have a happy event and the grain will be abundant. When the unknown, the emperor will have trouble back at home, and the grain will be abundant. If the tail star shakes, there will be discord between the monarch and the minister.

For example, the color of Sirius has changed, which shows that there are many thieves in the world. The appearance of this old star in the south is a symbol of world peace. If you can't see the old star, there may be a mutiny.

In China's ancient astrology theory, the appearance of comets was almost always regarded as a symbol of disaster.

Astronomical division is also a part of ancient astrology theory. In order to predict the good or bad of the world with the change of astronomical phenomena, ancient astrologers in China called the "dividing line" by corresponding the starry sky region with the countries and states on the ground.

According to China's ancient astrology, every county and country on the earth corresponds to a certain area in the sky, and the astronomical phenomena in that area indicate the good or bad luck of every place. The law corresponding to heaven and earth is the theory of dividing line.

The concept of dividing line has a long history. Li Zhou Guan Chun Zong Bo has records of "the stars distinguish the land of Kyushu" and "seeing demons in the world". It has begun to correspond different stars in the sky with different States and countries on the earth.

The division in the sky is roughly based on 28 12 star hotels, and the ground is based on countries or regions.

There are many records about the division of astronomical geography in ancient books. For example, the division of astronomical geography in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period recorded in Hanshu Geography is: Wei, Gou and Shen; Zhou, Liu, Qixing and Zhang; North Korea, horn, sound and mutual division; Zhao Di, the dividing line of Zambi; Yan Di, tail and basket points; Qi, air and danger; Song land, the teacher of the heart; The boundary between the garrison, the camp and the east wall; Chu, wing, car; Wu, fight and divide; Guangdong, the dividing line between Petunia and Five Girls.

In fact, there is no fixed pattern for grouping the corresponding relationship between heaven and earth. For example, only eight countries are listed in Shi Ji Tian Guan Shu, in which besides the correspondence between regions and stars, the correspondence between five stars and countries is also recorded.

After the establishment of the correspondence between heaven and earth, astrology has a foundation. In this way, when the stars in a certain area or that day appear abnormal astronomical phenomena, such as fire, flood, military disaster, plague, etc. What is reflected by it will have a corresponding area predicted.
