Why did the Zhou Dynasty admire Zixing so much in the forbidden culture?

China has had the theory of star worship and star occupation since ancient times. Ancestors' reverence for celestial phenomena has a great influence on predicting the good or bad of personnel, especially the life and death of the fighting masters in the north and south. At that time, the stars occupied a prominent position in the imaginary celestial order. Astrology has a mysterious relationship with harvest, war and the fate of individuals and families, including life and death, health and so on. All this stems from China's oldest philosophy "the unity of man and nature", and China's philosophy holds that "form is in nature and form is in the ground."

China people believe that every great man is a star in the sky and comes to earth; This is why people's life span is calculated according to the astrology, so Liangshan heroes have thirty-six plough and seventy-two devils; This is why there are Sanqing, Yusi and 28 stars.

The ideological origin of astrology can be traced back to primitive religious worship. With the unification of primitive tribes and the emergence of classes, the worship of natural gods in primitive religions gradually changed from the worship of the gods of heaven and earth to the worship of a single "supreme" god. The Shang Dynasty was called "Emperor" (God), and the Zhou Dynasty was called "Heaven" (Destiny). It is endowed with social attributes and personification, and becomes the master of all things in the universe.
