Trunks and branches and astrology
According to the knowledge of modern astronomy, we can know that the 28 stars on Sunday are made up of stars. Astronomically speaking, stars are very stable, their relative positions remain unchanged for thousands of years or even longer, and their influence on the earth is relatively stable.
The earth and other planets in the solar system revolve around the sun constantly, while the whole solar system hovers in the Milky Way at the same position relative to the Polaris (purple and micro stars). Because of the movement of the sun, the moon and the five stars, the positional relationship between the stars changes, which in turn changes the influence of specific stars on the earth and everything on the ground. So the ancients predicted good or bad luck by observing the sky at night.
Astronomically, the ecliptic plane is divided into twelve zodiac signs, and the ecliptic crossing the zodiac signs is divided into twelve months. Therefore, in ancient times, the zodiac was named after the earthly branch, and the zodiac corresponded to 28 nights, that is, the uterus had three nights: female, virtual and dangerous; There are fights and cows in the ugly palace for two nights; Yin palace has a tail and a basket for two nights; Mao Gong spent three nights, that is, accommodation, room and heart. Chen Gong has horns and two nights; The palace has wings for two nights; There are Liu, Xing and Zhang in the noon palace.
There are two nights in the palace; There are two nights in Shen Gong. There are three nights in the palace: stomach, phlegm and end; There are two nights in the palace, Wei Xiao and Lou; The sea palace has one room and one wall and stays for two nights. Therefore, the 28-night astronomical image is the image source of the ground paintings in the study of cadres and branches, and there are 28 stars hidden in the twelve branches, which is also the source of its significance.
Among the five elements of A, B, C, D, E, self, G, Xin, man and ghost, A and B carry gas, C carries fire, E carries wet, dry and cold, which shows that the five elements of gas in the sky are changing step by step according to the procedure of coexistence of the five elements.
Running with a unique program shows that there is another kind of qi on the ground that follows the law of five elements generation. The heavenly stem refers to the five qi laws in the sky, and the earthly branch refers to the five qi laws on the ground.
