Fang Su, one of the twenty-eight constellations in Chinese mythology. Originated from the Chinese people’s natural worship of ancient stars, it is the product of the combination of ancient Chinese mythology and astronomy. The following China story network editor will bring you a detailed introduction. Let’s have a look!
The fourth night of the Oriental Green Dragon is the belly room of the green dragon. In Qiyao as the day, the totem is the rabbit, so it is also called FangRi rabbit.
Room accommodation includes room, hook seal, key closure, punishment, Dongxian, Xixian, RI, and subordinate officials, a total of eight star officials. The housing sector mainly belongs to Scorpio, and some are located in Libra, Ophiuchus and jackal.
Fang Su, long and Ma
The four stars of auricula correspond to ? and ? of Scorpio in the west respectively ????? Four stars. Among them, fangsu4 is 16h in the right ascension, close to the ecliptic, and downward is fangsu3, 1, and 2. The four stars are not bright, between grade 2 and grade 3, but they are connected, almost in a straight line, and perpendicular to the ecliptic. It is now widely believed that there was a process from the creation to the naming of the ancient Chinese twenty eight constellations, so many constellations have aliases, such as Fang Su, which was first called “Tian Si”. The so-called “Si” refers to four horses pulling the same car, or a car pulled by four horses. These four horses are generally male horses, the so-called “four peonies”. The bookofsongs, attack by chariots, says:
My car is attacking, my horse is the same,
Four peonies, driving words to the East.
The field car is good, and the four peonies are kongfu,
There is grass in the East, driving words and deeds ferocious.
It is said that the carriage has been repaired, and the four male horses pulling the carriage are tall and fat. The emperor drove the carriage to Dongdu for hunting. Perhaps because dragons and horses are fast-moving animals, they are often used together, so these steeds used by the emperor are also called “dragons and horses”. In ancient legends, the dragon horse, which was the dragon’s head horse, carried the “River map” to Fuxi, who invented the eight trigrams. The divinatory symbols of “Qian” and “Kun” in the book of changes are dragon and horse respectively.
Fang Su, formerly known as “Tian Si”, is naturally a dragon horse since it is in heaven. Zheng Xuanyin said in the filial piety Sutra, “Fang is a dragon horse.” However, some people don’t think that the dragon horse is not powerful enough. They directly imagine Fang Su as four dragons pulling cars and running, so the “Shi Shi Xing Jing” says: “Fang four stars, a Heavenly Dragon.” More coincidentally, Fang Su is one of the seven constellations of the Oriental Canglong, located in the abdomen of the dragon, and together with di Su forms the trunk of the dragon.
Room accommodation and room country
Literally, Fang Su’s “Fang” has nothing to do with dragons, horses and Chen, so how did the word “Fang” come from? Mr. Chen Jiujin and Mr. He Guangyue believed that according to the theory of division, the division between Fang and xinliangsu belonged to the state of song (now Henan Province), but there were more ancient Fang people here before. After Shun Jiyao became the leader of China, he sealed Yao’s “unworthy son” Danzhu in the room.
It is said that Fang Ren belonged to Fang Yi, a branch of the nine Barbarians (“Fang” Tong “Fang), and oracle inscriptions can also be seen to predict whether Fang Ren sent troops to invade the Shang Dynasty. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the feudal lords were enfeoffed, and the Fangren established the Fangguo in the east of today’s Henan Province. The “son” of “house” refers to the viscount. Later, King Zhao of Zhou married Fang as the queen, but the queen of the room may not have a good moral character. “Guoyu” said that she “really has great virtue and cooperates with Danzhu”, which means she is very similar to Danzhu. This also proves from the side that Fang Guoyuan at this time came from Danzhu vein.
The son of Fang Hou is the famous King Mu of Zhou, the son of Mu Tian. He also went to Lao’s Fang state during his hunting tour. Therefore, Fang Guo had a certain influence at that time, making the astrologer name the stars in the sky after his country. The state of Fang was later destroyed by the state of Chu, and the people of Fang were scattered. Its land was later taken over by the younger brother of King Helu of Wu, who was called “Wu Fang” to show the difference.
In the Han Dynasty, Wufang county was set up in the areas of Runan and Yingchuan, which are now Shangcai, zhunyang in Henan Province, Fuyang in Anhui Province and other places. Li Chunfeng’s “Jin Shu astronomy annals” of the Tang Dynasty mapped the division of star officials to counties, while Fang and xinliangsu corresponded to Yingchuan, Runan, zhunyang and other places, which corresponded to the ancient Fangguo. Therefore, the statement that the name of fangsu comes from Fangguo is more convincing. Disclaimer: the above content originates from the network, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
