Did the division and naming of constellations come from the observations and imaginations of ancient Westerners? The constellation originated in ancient Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. After the culture of the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia was spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellations and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table.
After the Middle Ages, the rise of European capitalism required outward expansion, and navigation developed greatly. Ships sailing on the sea need navigation at any time, and the stars are the best guiding lights. Among the stars, constellations have special shapes and are the easiest to observe. Therefore, constellations have received widespread attention. When Magellan sailed around the world in the 16th century, he not only used constellations for navigation and orientation, but also studied the constellations.
In 1922, the International Astronomical Union General Assembly decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names were basically based on historical names. In 1928, the International Astronomical Union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and 12 near the celestial equator and ecliptic.
More than 2,000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipbacus divided the zodiac into twelve segments in order to mark the position of the sun on the ecliptic. The vernal equinox was 0°, and the vernal equinox ( Counting from the zero degree of the zodiac), every 30° is a house, and they are named after the main constellations contained in each house at that time, in order: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and other signs are called the zodiac, totaling twelve constellations. Babies born when the earth rotates to each equal part (constellation) will always have certain similar characteristics when they grow up, including behavioral traits, personality traits, etc. By connecting these associations (rich imagination and creativity), the human nature of these constellations is embodied; adding the color of mythology, they become an important part of culture (mainly Greek and Roman mythology).
The classification and naming of constellations come from the observation and imagination of ancient Westerners, right?
What classification is the constellation named according to the date of birth according to the solar calendar?
The names of the twelve constellations are based on the solar calendar ( Gregorian calendar) date division, first you need to know your date of birth in the Gregorian calendar, and then compare it with the information below.
Aries: March 21st to April 20th
Taurus: April 21st to May 21st
Gemini: May 22nd to June 21
Cancer: June 22-July 22
Leo: July 23-August 23 Virgo: August 24-September 23rd
Libra: September 24th to October 23rd
Scorpio: October 24th to November 22nd
Sagittarius: November 23rd to December 21st
Capricorn: December 22nd to January 20th
Aquarius: January 21st to February 19th
Pisces: February 20th ~ March 20th
The above is a date query table for the 12 zodiac signs. You can know your zodiac sign by comparing the table.
Why are there 12 constellations? Who named it? Why is it named like this? Stories from Greek mythology have been handed down. In astrology, the 12 constellations of the zodiac are synonymous with the directions of the universe. The 12 constellations of the zodiac represent 12 basic personality archetypes. When a person is born, the position of each star on the zodiac exactly illustrates a person's innate personality and talent. The 12 zodiac signs symbolize the psychological level and reflect the way a person behaves.
So the ecliptic was divided into 12 constellations, called the 12 constellations of the zodiac.
The order is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each constellation has its own symbolic meaning, but the best way to understand the constellations is to understand how the constellations are divided.
In astronomy, it refers to the 12 constellations closest to the earth, which are divided into the zodiac. For easy differentiation, they are divided into different zodiac signs on different dates.... In order, they are - Aries - Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo - Virgo - Libra - Scorpio - Sagittarius - Capricorn - Aquarius - Pisces
Myths and legends: Aries
Aries is the first constellation of the zodiac and the location of the ancient vernal equinox. It is the golden sheep in Greek mythology. It is said that King Atamas of Portia in ancient Greece married the cloud fairy Nephiel as his queen, and gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters, Zhenyun and Guanghua. To children. The princess of Thebes wanted to frame the children of the king's ex-wife, so Nephil asked her children to ride on the golden-haired flying sheep presented by Hermes to escape; on the way, her daughter Guanghua accidentally fell into the sea (now the Dardanelles Strait, the Greeks called The Strait of Xilisbon (because the Greek word for brilliance is pronounced [Xili]), only Zhenyun fled to the country of Colchis, was welcomed by the king, and married the princess. Zhenyun thanked God for his kindness and killed the golden sheep and sacrificed it. It was given to Zeus, so that the golden sheep was listed among the stars. The clouds also gave the golden fleece to King Colchis, who hung it in the sacred garden of MARS, the god of war, guarded by a dragon that never sleeps day and night.
Later, Jason, the son of Zhenyun's half-brother, was raised by Sagitarius (ie Sagittarius). He was determined to get the Golden Fleece and formed an expedition team. Orpheus the Lyra⒋ Hyperactive? The sons of Hercules (1) Perseus (7) Castor and Pollux were all there (the sons of Zeus were almost here); they went through many hardships and dangers all the way to the country of Colchis. King Chis asked Jason to tame two fire-breathing bulls with iron horns and copper hooves, hitch a plow to plow the land of Mas Sacred Garden, and sow the seeds of poisonous snake teeth that would turn into armored warriors once they hit the ground. Then he could reach the dragon. Jason went to the guard's place to get the Golden Fleece; Jason got the help of Zhenyun's wife's sister, Medea, to deal with the cows and warriors, and relied on Orpheus's music to hypnotize the dragon to get the Golden Fleece, and left quickly with the beauty. Go, King Colchis knows that when he can't pursue him, the Golden Fleece is taken away! (In mythology, this is a game between Zeus and Sheila. Of course Zeus supports his son, but Sheila does not like these illegitimate children, so she obstructs them in every possible way. There are many stories. If you are interested, you can watch the movie [Prince Jason and the Monsters] Or look at Greek mythology)
Taurus
There are two theories about the identity of Taurus: One is that Zeus changed it in order to carry Princess Europe to the current European continent. , Europe is named after this; another theory is that the Taurus was the punishment of the king of Crete by Poseidon, the god of the sea. It was a monster with a head and a body and it specialized in eating boys and girls. The king had to ask Diradas to build a labyrinth. The bull was trapped (it is said that even Dilades could not get out of the labyrinth, so he had to make wings to fly out.) Every year, tribute boys and maidens were fed to it. Perseus, the prince of Athens, was determined to get rid of the harm and planned to sneak into the boys and maidens. Unexpectedly, the princess of Crete fell in love with him and gave Perseus a sharp knife and a ball of red thread. Perseus killed the cow with the knife and followed the red thread out. Of course, in the end, the princess married Perseus. Shusuluo!
Gemini
As the name suggests, Gemini is indeed a pair of twins, and they are the masterpiece of PLAYBOY Zeus. One day, he transformed into a swan and had a tryst with the Spartan princess. As a result, the princess laid two eggs. One hatched out, Helen, the peerless beauty who led to the Trojan War, and the other gave birth to the twin brothers. The princess gave her brother Castor to her husband, and her brother Pollux to the god Zeus, so Pollux became immortal.
When they grew up, both of them became very brave warriors. Catos was good at riding, and Plux was good at boxing. The two made many contributions in the war, but in a certain battle, Catos died in battle, and Plux was good at boxing. Lux was very sad, he even...gt;gt;

The origin of the name of the constellation. The constellation originated in ancient Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. About 5,000 years ago, there was a group of Babylonian shepherds in Mesopotamia. People live a nomadic life, living from grass to grass. During their wandering life of shepherding sheep, they still observed the stars twinkling in the night sky every day. Over time, they were able to see the regular changes of time and season from the movements of the stars. Every night at night, while looking at the sheep, they observed various stars, connected the brighter stars to each other, and associated the connected shapes with various animals, utensils, or even the gods they believed in, etc. And named them, creating what are called constellations. It is said that there are more than 20 constellation names for the so-called 12 constellations of the zodiac, which had already been born at that time. After this, the ancient Babylonians continued to divide the sky into many areas and come up with new constellations. But at that time, constellations were of little use and even fewer were discovered and named. The 12 constellations on the zodiac were originally used to measure time, not to represent people's personalities as they are now. Around 1000 BC, 30 constellations were proposed. There, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers flow from northwest to southeast and flow into the Persian Gulf, so it is also called the "Two Rivers Basin" area.
After the Mesopotamian culture spread to ancient Greece, it promoted the cultural development of ancient Greece. Ancient Greek astronomers supplemented and developed the Babylonian constellations and compiled the ancient Greek constellation table. In the 2nd century AD, the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy compiled 48 constellations based on the astronomical achievements of the time. And use imaginary lines to connect the main bright stars in the constellation, imagine them as images of animals or people, and give them appropriate names based on myths and stories. This is the origin of the name of the constellation. Most of the 48 constellations in Greek mythology live in the northern sky and north and south of the equator.
After the Middle Ages, the rise of European capitalism required outward expansion, and navigation developed greatly. Ships sailing on the sea need navigation at any time, and the stars are the best guiding lights. Among the stars, constellations have special shapes and are the easiest to observe. Therefore, constellations have received widespread attention. When Magellan sailed around the world in the 16th century, he not only used constellations for navigation and orientation, but also studied the constellations.
In 1922, the International Astronomical Union General Assembly decided to divide the sky into 88 constellations, and their names were basically based on historical names.
In 1928, the International Astronomical Union officially announced the names of 88 constellations. These 88 constellations are divided into three celestial regions, 29 in the northern hemisphere, 47 in the southern hemisphere, and 12 near the celestial equator and ecliptic.
There are nearly 6,000 stars visible to the naked eye, each of which can be classified into a unique constellation. Each constellation can be identified by the shape of its bright stars.
In order to facilitate research, people divide the starry sky into several areas, which are called constellations.
