Twenty-eight stars:

Twenty-eight stars, also known as the twenty-eight house or twenty-eight stars, divide the stars in the southern transit into twenty-eight groups, a circle of stars distributed along the ecliptic or equator of the celestial sphere. Divided into four groups, also known as four elephants, four beasts, four-dimensional and four-dimensional gods, each group has seven stars.

At first, the ancients chose 28 stars to compare the movements of the sun, the moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth as observation marks. The meaning of "lodge" is similar to the "palace" of the zodiac, which means the constellation table, indicating the position of the sun, the moon and the five stars. In the Tang Dynasty, Twenty-eight Hostels became the main body of the twenty-eight celestial bodies, and these celestial bodies were still named after Twenty-eight Hostels. Different from Sanyuan, as a celestial body, Twenty-eight Hostels are mainly used to divide the ownership of star officials.
