Lunar constellation queries stars, ecliptic constellation has nothing to do with lunar solar terms?

# Scientific truth #

Seeing the title of the article, netizens may question that you put two unrelated things together, isn't this a drag?

Please don't worry, let me take my time:

Zodiac 12 constellation was established by Babylonian astronomers according to the apparent motion of the sun, which is essentially the Babylonian chronology method. Including 12 constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces and Aquarius.

Each constellation lasts 30 days, 12*30=360 days (modern tropic of cancer year =365.2425 days).

China lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. They are: beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. Long summer, small full, boundless, summer solstice, small Shu, big Shu. Beginning of autumn, early summer, white dew, autumnal equinox, cold dew, first frost. Beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, slight cold, severe cold.

Each solar term is 15 days, 24* 15=360 days (modern tropical year =365.2425 days).

According to historical records, the oldest calendar in China is the Summer Calendar. Xiao Xia Calendar is a calendar that adopts the calculation method of tropic year. It pioneered the "four seasons calendar" method, that is, using the four solar terms of winter solstice, vernal equinox, summer solstice and autumn equinox, the whole year is divided into four parts: spring, summer, autumn and winter. After revision and improvement by later generations, the agricultural calendar with 24 solar terms was finally formed. In the lunar calendar, the solar calendar records the year, the lunar calendar records the day, the month, and the 24 solar terms record the agricultural time. The essence of the lunar calendar is a mixed calendar of yin and yang.

Zodiac 12 is the basis of ancient Babylonian calendar, and the 24 solar terms are the basis of ancient calendar in China. Both take the tropic year as the age standard.

First of all, the zodiac and the twenty-four solar terms represent different positions of the earth in its orbit around the sun. If you arrange 1 constellation according to two solar terms, that is, Aries corresponds to beginning of spring, rain, Taurus corresponds to fright, vernal equinox and so on, then the zodiac 12 can completely correspond to 24 solar terms. The intersection of the vernal equinox SHI and Huang Chisheng, the autumn is divided into descending node, and the winter solstice and summer solstice are perigee and apogee. The vernal equinox in Babylonian times was located in Aries, so the solar terms of the vernal equinox at that time corresponded to Aries. However, due to the precession of the earth's rotation axis, the modern vernal equinox is in Pisces, the autumnal equinox is in Virgo, the winter solstice is in Sagittarius, and the summer solstice is in Gemini. Vernal equinox moved clockwise by an angular distance, while other parts of QI also moved in the same direction by the same angular distance.

Qí time, the Babylonians in Cuba founded the Zodiac 12 about 3,500 years ago, when China founded the "calendar" in ancient times, which was about 1300 BC in the Xia Dynasty. These are two very close ages. The zodiac 12 constellation and the twenty-four solar terms are established according to the different positions of the solar annual apparent motion, belonging to the category of ecliptic coordinate system, and the calendars established according to them are all solar calendars.

The Euphrates River and Tigris River gave birth to Babylonian civilization, and the Yangtze River and Yellow River gave birth to Chinese civilization. Are all early human nóng farming civilization. The zodiac 12 constellation and 24 solar terms both adopt the tropic year as the basis, which proves that agricultural national civilization has similar characteristics.

Third, ancient people could not completely distinguish astronomy from superstition. So is the relationship between the zodiac and astrology. After the zodiac 12 constellation founded by Babylonians was introduced into ancient Greece, its astronomical components were converted into Gregorian calendar by ancient Romans. At the same time, influenced by ancient Greek mythology, it evolved into 12 zodiac, and finally developed into western astrology and astrology. Coincidentally, after the zodiac was introduced into China from India, it combined with the equatorial coordinate system in ancient China, and also produced astrology based on the "28-star" astronomical system in ancient China.

To sum up, the zodiac 12 constellation has a logical connection with the 24 solar terms of the China lunar calendar in astronomy and geography. This connection not only proves the existence of * * between Babylonian civilization and Chinese civilization, but also reveals the communication between eastern and western cultures in ancient times. Interaction can be traced back to ancient times.
