In ancient times, scholars would say that they could understand the weather by observing the night sky. Is there any scientific basis for this? How exactly is it judged? Do you have any news?

Observing the weather not only in ancient times, but also at night, more often during the day. In the 1960s, the National Meteorological Administration organized experts to compile a color picture "Observing the Sky through Clouds", which can be said to be a modern scientific version of observing the sky. Of course, with the continuous improvement and development of meteorological scientific instruments and meteorological satellites, it is no longer necessary to look at clouds to know the weather, at least in the weather forecast of the Meteorological Bureau. But as the general public, we can still use this common sense to judge short-term weather changes.

As for how magical and accurate the night view of the sky is, it can only be said that it is an exaggerated legend without scientific logic and scientific views. Take Zhuge Liang as an example. Watching the sky at night broke Cao Jun many times. In fact, a lot of content is only the description of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not the real history recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the Romance is a legend. Zhuge Liang is the general incarnation of ancient wise men, and there is not really a real person who can calculate and predict things like God. It's simple. Otherwise, Shu and Wei fought for decades, how could Zhuge Liang finally get a tragic ending that ended in failure?
