China Palace

Ancient astrology in China centered on three walls, four images and twenty-eight nights. Three walls refer to the three areas around the North Celestial Pole, namely Ziwei Garden, Taiwei Garden and Tianshi Garden. The four elephants refer to the four areas around the ecliptic, namely, the black dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the suzaku in the south and the Xuanwu in the north. Each elephant is divided into seven sections and 28 lodges, namely: East Seven lodges (Black Dragon): horn, sound, fork, room, heart, tail and dustpan. Seven Nights in the North (Xuanwu): Fight, Cow, Woman, Empty, Danger, House and Avoidance. Seven Western Hosts (White Tiger): Kui, Lou, Stomach, Chang, Bi, Mouth and Ginseng. Seven Nights in the South (Suzaku): Well, ghosts, willows, stars, Zhang, wings and birds.

Introduce several websites about ancient astronomical calendars.

I saw Liu Bowen's Step by Step Song in the discussion area.

At first, I thought it was a beautiful poem, but after searching, I found that the gap between it and my imagination was too big.

It turns out that he is the recorder of ancient astronomy in China, and the related search links are as follows:

For ordinary astronomy enthusiasts now, to understand the starry sky, it is necessary to remember the names and positions of 88 large constellations and more than 3,000 stars in the west. It is not easy for people interested in astronomy in ancient China to remember the positions of 283 small stars and 1464 constant stars. In order to help people remember, there have been some works describing the starry sky in the form of poems, among which the most widely circulated is the Song of Treading in the Sky by Dan Zi Yuan. Its author, some say Dan Zi Yuan of Sui Dynasty, others say Wang Ximing of Tang Dynasty.
