Watching the stars at night is often said in film and television dramas. Did the ancients know the mystery of space just by looking at it?

The so-called astrology also refers to the sky, that is, looking at the sky. In layman's terms, it is to observe the trajectories of the stars and the moon. In ancient times, people didn't have clocks and watches, so they couldn't tell time and predict climate change. At this time, they can get information about the sky by observing the sky, and gradually understand the motion laws of the stars and the moon. Summing up this rule and the weather, we later formulated solar terms, called observing the image and observing the time.

We are most familiar with Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang observed the night sky before he died, and he could know that his life was dying. At the same time, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang's old rival, has just observed the sky and learned that the stars symbolizing Zhuge Liang are very dim, thus inferring that Zhuge Liang will not live long. Although it is only a novel, there will be some exaggeration and deification, but in fact we can really gain insight into many things by observing the astronomical phenomena.

Starry sky observation mainly focuses on the star source and 28 stars. Through the movement law of these phenomena, the weather changes are summarized and applied to agricultural production. Usually astrological changes are combined with yin and yang and five elements. Now that we have a high-tech modernization, it has indeed confirmed the existence of stars around our earth, so it can be said that it is reasonable to observe stars in ancient times. Just added some mysterious feudal superstitions.

There is no denying that the wisdom and ability of the ancients are beyond our imagination. By observing the starry sky at night, we can see that the gradual evolution of human beings is inseparable from the wisdom of the ancients.
