China in the zodiac.

The twelve constellations are called twelve stars in China, namely astrology, metaphysics, Yi, Lou, Liang, Stone God, quail head, quail fire, quail tail, longevity, fire and wood analysis.

1, Jixing, 12.7 to 1.5. The star refers to the star, and the discipline has a record. The meaning at the beginning is obviously that the stars are used as a means of measurement to record. In Erya Shi Tian, Dou and Petunia are recorded, and Dou and Niu are the names of two of the 28 stars.

2. Xuanbiao, 1.6 to 2.3. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor had a son named Xuantao and Qingyang, and another son named Changyi, who gave birth to Emperor Zhuan Xu. Feng Xuan was Xuantao. Although Xuanzang was not famous, he was the ancestor of the ancient emperor Di Ku, so after his death, the ancients used stars to commemorate him.

3, 2.4 to 3.5. In fact, like Xuanbiao, there is another person named Koubiao. Di Ku's wife is Changyi, and Changyi's tribe is called Koubiao. In ancient times, there was a tradition of taking tribes as their surnames, so it is not surprising that Koubiao was honored as the North Star.

4, building, 3.6 to 4.4. Descent means birth, and "Lou" is the name among 28 stars, which means that people were born in the sky. According to the history of the Spring and Autumn Annals, when the Western Zhou Dynasty enfeoffed the vassal state, in order to preserve the Xia Dynasty, the descendants of Yu were sealed in Qi, and Lou Su was named Lou.

5. Girder, 4.5 to 5.5. Girder refers to the capital girder of Wei State, which is today's Kaifeng City. Obviously, it is not surprising that the name of the girder is the star. Most Wei people are surnamed Ji, and their ancestors came from Xiqiang. Like Lou, they all belong to the Western White Tiger Star.

6, Stone God, 5.6 to 6.5. This star is also associated with Di Ku. Di Ku has two sons, one named Quebo and the other named Stone God. Stone God is the descendant of the nationalities in the western regions and the ancestor of the Jin people, so the stone god also belongs to the White Tiger in the western regions among the 28 stars.

7. Quail head, 6.6 to 7.6. Literally means the head of a quail bird. Although it is the head of a quail, it really represents Suzaku in the seven nights in the south. The word "quail fire" appeared in Zuo Zhuan. Quail is Mars and Suzaku in the south is fire. This asterisk in South Star is true.

8, quail fire, 7.7 to 8.7. A red star in this constellation is constellation I, which is Ophiuchus. Also because of this red star, this constellation is called Quail Fire.

9. Quail tail, 8.8 to 9.7. There is a tail at the beginning, and this asterisk corresponds to the wings and night in the 28 constellations, and the wings have the meaning of the wings and tail of Suzaku, so it is not difficult to see the ancient division of stars.

10, birthday girl, 9.8 to 10.7. Shouxing is a name that we are all very familiar with. The ancients thought that observing the brightness of the birthday girl could judge the longevity of the emperor and the prosperity of the country, so in the past, the birthday girl was regarded as the leading star.

1 1, fire, 10.8 to 1 1.8. In fact, it is a red star, a bit like a quail tail. Before Shang Dynasty, merchants used to use Mars to set seasons. An official who specially observed this star was named Huozheng, and it was because of its particularity that it became one of the twelve stars.

12, wood analysis, 1 1.9 to 12.6. Some scholars believe that the origin of wood analysis is related to Naxi nationality in Yunnan. Naxi is called Mexi in ancient books, which can also be used to write wood analysis, and vice versa. And "analysis" means separation, which refers to the general name of plants. It is quite appropriate to analyze the sky where Jupiter is just across the banks of the Milky Way.
