The 28 nakshatras represent good and evil, and what are the 28 nakshatras called

The 28 Nakshatras are ancient Chinese astronomical terms that do not specifically represent good and evil.

In ancient China, in order to understand the stars and observe the celestial phenomena, people grouped several stars in the sky, and each combination was named a name, and such a combination of stars was called a constellation.

The 28 Nakshatras include the Eastern Nakshatra, the Northern Nakshatra, the Western Nakshatra, and the Southern Nakshatra, each with its own unique meaning and symbolism.

The Seven Oriental Residences: Horn, Kang, Shi, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei.

The Seven Houses of the North: Fighting, Bull, Female, Void, Danger, Room, Wall.

The Seven Western Residences: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng.

The Seven Houses of the South: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen.

Overall, the 28 Nakshatras are part of ancient Chinese astronomy, and each has its own unique meaning and symbolism, but does not specifically represent good and evil.

The constellations are called Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Kei, Jing, Ghost, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen, Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, Shen, Dou, Niu, Female, Void, Danger, Room, and Wall, and each Nakshatra contains a number of stars.

2. The Twenty-Eight Nakshatras are ancient astronomical terms, which are composed of seven Nakshatras, including the Eastern Canglong, the Southern Vermilion Bird, the Western White Tiger, and the Northern Xuanwu. The 28 constellations are the 28 star regions divided by ancient Chinese astronomers to observe the movement of the sun, moon and five stars.

The 28 constellations are the 28 star regions divided by ancient Chinese astronomers to observe the movement of the sun, moon and five stars, which is the local astronomical creation of China. It is used to describe the position of the sun, moon, and five stars. The details are as follows:

Twenty-eight Nakshatras:

Oriental Canglong Seven Houses: Horn, Kang, 氐 (dī), Fang, Heart, Tail, Ji (jī).

Northern Xuanwu Seven Residences: 斗 (dǒu), ox, female, void, dangerous, room, wall.

The Seven Houses of the White Tiger in the West: Kui, Lou (lóu), Stomach, Pleiades (mǎo), Bi, 觜 (zī), and 参 (shēn).

Southern Suzaku Seven Houses: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, 轸 (zhěn).

The 28 constellations are an important theoretical basis for the ancients to deduce the auspiciousness of the day.

The origin of the 28 Nakshatras is very early, and they were originally the 28 groups of stars (or constellations) used by the ancients to observe the coordinates of the sun, moon and five stars. The ancients believed that the positions of the stars were constant, and they could be used as signs to indicate the positions of the sun, moon, and five stars. After long-term observation, the ancients successively chose 28 constellations near the ecliptic equator as coordinates.

Because they are arranged in the four directions of the sun, moon, and five stars, much like the place where the sun, moon, and five stars dwell, they are called the twenty-eight nakshatras. The ancients also divided the 28 houses into four palaces: east, south, west and north, each palace has seven houses, and each palace imagines the seven houses as an animal image, thinking that it is "the four spirits of the sky, with the four directions". The Seven Houses to which the East Palace Canglong belongs are:

horn, hyper, di, atrium, heart, tail, kei; The seven houses to which Nangong Suzaku belongs are: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Zhang, Wing, and Zhen; The seven houses to which the White Tiger of the West Palace belongs are: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng; Beigong Xuanwu (turtle snake) belongs to the seven houses are:

Fighting, bull, female, virtual, dangerous, room, wall.

The 28 Nakshatras are not only the coordinates for observing the positions of the sun, moon, and five stars, but some of them are also the objects of observation used by the ancients to determine the years and seasons. For example, when Betelgeuse is due south at dusk, it is the first month of spring, and when Antares is due south, it is summer May, and so on. The 28 Nakshatras are surrounded by the celestial atmosphere, running non-stop over and over again, presiding over the four celestial phenomena of the east, west, south and north respectively, dividing day and night, alternating between cold and heat, and changing the number of yin and yang.

Over time, the 28 constellations were endowed with different meanings of good luck and evil, in order to echo the ups and downs of the folk world, so they became another important theoretical basis for the ancients to choose the day.

The saying of the Twenty-Eight Houses is not only in China, but also in ancient India, ancient Rome and other ancient cultural countries, but the names and meanings are different. The origin of the 28 sutras taking turns to be on duty to determine the good fortune and evil is now difficult to study in detail, and the almanac of the Southern Song Dynasty has adopted this duty method. Later, the folk warlock was paired with 28 kinds of birds and beasts, which further developed the auspicious and evil connotations of the 28 constellations.

There is a very detailed record of the auspiciousness of the 28 houses and the 28 kinds of birds and beasts that are matched with the auspicious things, and the popular folk book on the selection of good fortune has a very detailed record, and the relevant content expressed in the form of popular songs is appended below for reference.

1. The Seven Nights of the Oriental Canglong.

1. Jiaosu: It is a wood, and it is Jiao. It is the head of the Seven Houses in the East, and there are two stars like the two horns of the dragon. The dragon's horn is the first rush of the fight, so it is fierce.

The duty of the horn house is not light, the sacrifice marriage is not successful, and if the burial is still on this day, there will be disasters within three years.

2. Kangsu: It belongs to gold and is a dragon. It is the second night in the East, and it is the neck of the dragon. The dragon's neck, guarded by the dragon's horns, drives the whole body, so there is a lot of luck.

The star of Kangsu can be sought, the marriage sacrifice has a origin, the burial must have officials and nobles, and the door will open the door and release the water out of the prince.

3. Disu: It belongs to the soil and is a raccoon dog (that is, a dog badger). 氐, for the root.
