Everyone knows the 12 constellation. How can there be a saying of 13 constellation?

I remember I checked this before. There are not only 12 constellations, but also 13 constellations and 14 constellations. 13 constellation is Ophiuchus and 14 constellation is whale. I remember when the constellation 13 was first discovered in Japan, and then Ophiuchus at that time, many people didn't believe it, and most Japanese didn't agree with it. Because people agree with the traditional 12 constellation conceptually, they don't think there are 13 and 14 constellations. However, Ophiuchus was popular in Japan and later spread to the mainland through Taiwan Province Province, but it can be said that this is a modern view, which has nothing to do with traditional astrology.

In fact, as early as 1970, someone put forward the theory of 14 constellation division, including Ophiuchus and Pisces. However, I paid more attention to Ophiuchus, and later improved the content. In fact, more and more, it was the United States that finally made Ophiuchus known to everyone, and it was the United States that gave everyone a new understanding of Ophiuchus. Gradually evolved into the unknown 13 constellation and 14 constellation.

In fact, if we judge by astronomy, then we have 88 constellations. Because astronomy is judged by stars, the displacement changes between stars and each star, traditionally we have 88 constellations, but in ancient legends, we only have 12 constellations.

Why is the cosmic constellation in our consciousness 12 instead of 13? Because in the eyes of the public, the number 13 is unlucky, while the even number 12 is a more auspicious number. So everyone chose the 12 constellation and gave up the 13 constellation, which led to the late 13 constellation gradually disappearing and being forgotten by the public.
