What does China's ancient astrology theory say about the stars on Sunday?

Twenty-eight nights [one of China's ancient astronomical theories]

brief introduction

Twenty-eight stars, also known as twenty-eight houses or twenty-eight stars, divide the stars in the southern transit into twenty-eight groups, and the circle of stars distributed along the ecliptic or celestial equator (the equator of the earth extends to the sky) is divided into four groups, also known as four elephants, four beasts, four-dimensional and four-dimensional gods, with seven stars in each group. Its origin is still not completely clear.

At first, the ancients chose 28 stars to compare the movements of the sun, the moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth as observation marks. The meaning of "lodge" is similar to the "palace" of the zodiac, which means constellation. Represents the position of the sun, the moon and five stars. In the Tang Dynasty, Twenty-eight Hostels became the main body of the twenty-eight celestial bodies, and these celestial bodies were still named after Twenty-eight Hostels. Different from Sanyuan, as a celestial body, Twenty-eight Hostels are mainly used to divide the ownership of star officials.

The 28 huts start from Kakuk and are arranged from west to east, in the same direction as the sun and the moon:

The East is called Qinglong: Jiao Mujiao Kang Jinlong Nyctereute Fang Ri Rabbit Heart Moon Fox Tail Fire Tiger Basket Water Leopard;

In the south, Suzaku is called: Muan Jing Ghost Golden Sheep, Liu Tu, Xingri Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Winged Fire Snake, Water Worm;

In the west, it is called the White Tiger: the Golden Dog of the Tiger Wood Wolf Tower, the Stomach Soil, the Pheasant, and Alnilam, the fire monkey of Bi Wu Yue Gou;

Xuanwu (tortoise and snake) is called in the north: unicorn, golden bull, female earth bat, virtual sun mouse, fierce moon swallowing house fire, pig wall and water deer.

Legend of twenty-eight stars

According to legend, the Emperor of Heaven first sent four beasts to guard the world. They are Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu. The four beasts completed their mission and dedicated their blood to the world. From then on, the legend of the Quartet beast began. Who is the king of the world? He who gets the treasure of the four beasts is the world. What is the treasure of the four beasts? No one in the world knows, but a book about the four beasts of heaven and earth records how the four beasts dedicated themselves to heaven and earth and sacrificed their own blood, which records that when the world fell apart, the images of heaven and earth and stars changed greatly and the gods of the four beasts reappeared. People who drag themselves into this world with the word "28 stars" will open the door to the aura of heaven and earth and get the treasure of the four beasts.
