Five from mystery stories

There were also twelve "constellations" in ancient China, which were divided according to the lunar calendar.

The zodiac originated in the west, but now it is very popular in our country, especially among young people. All kinds of mysterious statements have attracted enough attention. However, few people know that there were twelve constellations in ancient China, but their names were not "Twelve Constellations", but "Twelve Stars" or "Stars" directly.

The twelve stars originated from the worship of stars in ancient China. Later, astronomers divided the stars, mainly to remember the location of wooden stars. The zodiac is divided into twelve parts, which is quite coincidental with the twelve constellations in the west, but the twelve stars have been finalized as early as the Han Dynasty in China, that is to say, the exploration stage is earlier, which was first seen in Zuo Guai, Guoyu and other books, and also mentioned in Hanshu. Let's see how the twelve stars are divided according to the lunar calendar, and what is the meaning of each star.

From 12.7 to10.5, it is called astrology. 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.

From 1.6 to 2.3, it is called Xiao. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor had a son named Xuantao and Qingyang, and another son named Changyi, who gave birth to Emperor Zhuan Xu. Xuanzang is not famous, but he is the ancestor of the ancient emperor Di Ku, so the ancients used stars to commemorate him after his death.

2.4 to 3.5, called Juzi (Juzi), in fact, just like Xuanyi, there is also a man named Kouyi, Di Ku's wife named Chang Yi, and the name of Chang Yi's tribe is Kouyi.

From 3.6 to 4.4, it 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 East Building of Yu's descendants was publicly sealed in Qi, and the name of Lou Su was Lou Ren's income, but it was also named Lou, and the general was named.

4.5 to 5.5, called girder. 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.

5.6 to 6.5, Stone God. 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.

6.6 to 7.6, called quail head. 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.

7.7 to 8.7, called quail fire. There is a red star in this sequence called Constellation One, which is Ophiuchus Alpha. It is also because of this red star that this star step is called quail fire.

8.8 to 9.7, called quail tail. 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.

9.8 to 10.7, birthday girl. Longevity 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.

From 10.8 to 1 1.8, it is called fire. 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.

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.

In addition, there are 12 stars circulating on the Internet that correspond to people's personality, but this kind of thing only gives people psychological comfort. This article is only a cultural explanation, so it is inconvenient to say more. So which of the 12 stars do you belong to?
