The ancient stargazing platform is completely feudal superstition, is it worthless?

Ancient astronomical observation sites were called Star Observatory, Four Rooftops and Yuntai. In some older legends and books, they were also called Qingtai, Shentai and Lingtai.

The first chapter of the Book of Songs, Daya Lingtai, said: "The Lingtai started at the beginning, then set up camp, and Shu Ren attacked it, but it was not completed for several days." It is said that 2,500 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang organized people to build a mourning platform, which was "attached to the people" after restoration. In ancient China, the status of astronomy was much higher than that of modern times. This is because things related to the sky are the most important in ancient politics, and basically national events are linked to astronomical phenomena and calendars.

Therefore, astronomical instruments are not only scientific instruments for observing the sky, but also ritual vessels symbolizing kingship. Establishing a place to observe and worship the sky and observe the time is the most important thing in the political life of the country.
