✍️ Room

Room , also known as camp room, means "creating palace". In fact, the room and the wall can also be collectively called the barracks, and there is another one that was once called "Ding". "Book of Jin: Astronomy" says that the two stars of the Yingshi are the palace of the emperor, the Xuan Palace, and the Qing Temple, and their main function is to serve sacrifices. The six stars of the Li Palace next to it are the royal family garden of the emperor and the place for the emperor to play and rest.

There are two routes from the Purple Palace to the Li Palace, east and west. Western Line: Walk through the south gate of Ziweiyuan, take the Beidou frame, arrive through the angel road, Tianjin, Chefu, Xizhong , Zaofu and other star officials. East Line: Out of the north gate of Ziweiyuan, drive by the god master Wang Liang, cross the galaxy through the bridge of the Pavilion Road and directly to the camp room. There is also a house where you can rest and stay on the road, as well as a stable for raising days horses and .

Autumn Quadrilateral: Room + Wall Clothes, late autumn at around 8 pm, you can see four stars distributed almost squarely a little above the top of your head. Also known as "Peak Horse Quadrilateral". At the beginning of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the quadrilateral in autumn is located in the middle of the south. At this time, the weather was still warm and it was just the slack season. The farmers were recruited to serve the court and build palaces, so this iconic constellation is also called " barracks ".

South sky at around 22:00 in the late October area of ​​35 degrees north latitude

✍️ Tengsnake

Legendary flying snake . It consists of 22 stars, like a winding giant snake . Shishen believes that the Tengsnake is male. When it mates with a female turtle (virtual and dangerous tortoise), it can give birth to a divine beast with a turtle body and snake neck. This is probably another form of Xuanwu .

✍️Bei Luo Shimen, Wall Array, Yulin Army...

Quanrong , Xiongnu , Xianbei and other strong northern nomadic peoples have always been the main concerns of the Central Plains rulers. In order to divine the wars in the north, the ancients set up a battlefield facing the northern nations in the seven constellations.

Beiluo Shimen is the gate of the northern military camp, which mainly occupies the peace of the country and the prosperity of the army. The long wall formation is like the Great Wall in the starry sky. The Yulin Army is the royal garrison . Tiangang is the imperial tent raised in the military camp. The Bakui (shaped like the character "卍") is like a trap of the Bagua diagram, and Yue is a law enforcement officer holding a big axe to maintain military discipline.

⭐The Seventh Constellation - Bisu

contains the star officials: Bi, Pili, Yunyu, Tianjian, Tugong, and Fuku.

room and wall were once combined into a camp room, and it is very likely that it had also been combined into one night. Because the revolution cycle of the moon is 27.3 days, rounding should be 27. It is very likely that the twenty-seven constellations were used in ancient China, which means combining the chamber and the wall into one constellation. This was done in ancient India. "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Heavenly Officials" only involves 27 constellations when describing Zhoutian stars, only talking about the camps and rooms, not the constellations of the walls, which can also be used as proof.

Moreover, the star officials in the wall are mostly related to the stars in the wall. Clouds, rain, lightning, and thunder and lightning are all star officials related to weather. The Tugong and Tugong officials represent the officials in charge of civil engineering. The turtle and the axe are regarded as guillotines for chopping feed to livestock and horses at the battlefield camp.

The west wall room of the camp represents the palace of the emperor, and the east wall of the camp represents the secret palace that houses books in the world and divination articles. If the walls are bright, it means that the emperor ruled the world with civility, academics were prevalent, and there were many gentlemen in the country.
