Who invented Chinese astrology?

There is no clear inventor of Chinese astrology.

Astrology, also known as astrology, is a system that uses the relative position and movement of celestial bodies to explain or predict people's fate and behavior. It is a primitive diviner who observes the positions of celestial bodies, the sun, the moon and the stars and makes explanations to predict various things in the world. Astrologers believe that celestial bodies, especially planets and constellations, predict the changes of everything in the world in some causal or accidental way.

It tries to explain people's character and destiny by birthplace, birth time and celestial position. All cultures in the world have very different astrological systems and theories. Astrologers also have different views on the scope of application of astrology. Some astrologers believe that astrology can objectively predict events that can be verified in the future, while others believe that the interpretation of astrology is only directional.

History of Chinese astrology

In ancient China, due to the influence of the idea of harmony between man and nature, astronomical astrology has always been highly valued, so the astrology in China has existed since ancient times, and it was then called Lao Guoxingzong and Zheng Qi was born in Sri Lanka. As for why China's astrology didn't continue to develop, it was entirely because of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. Relying on Liu Bowen, who is familiar with astronomical astrology, he thinks that people who know astronomical astrology can't be ignored, so he ordered the prohibition of folk learning, and all offenders will be punished.

Results After the mid-Ming Dynasty, the astronomical calendar was in chaos and could not continue to develop. Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi and others tried their best to learn astronomical calendars from western Christian missionaries, and China's calendar was also completed at that time, so that China's astrology continued (the above contents are for reference only).
