Kai Yuan Zhan Jing (開元占經)

唐瞿曇悉達撰。《唐書·藝文志》載一百十卷。《玉海》引《唐志》亦同。又注云：《國史志》四卷，《崇文目》三卷。此本一百二十卷，與諸書所載不符，當屬後人分卷之異。自一卷“天占”至一百十卷“星圖”，均占天象。自一百十一卷“八穀占”至一百二十卷“龍魚蟲蛇占”，均占物異。或一百十卷以前為悉達原書，故與《唐志》及《玉海》卷數相符。其後十卷，後人以雜占增附之歟？

This book was compiled by Qutan Xida of the Tang dynasty. The "New Book of Tang · Art and Literature Catalogue" records it as 110 volumes. Wang Yinglin of the Song dynasty, in his "Jade Sea," also cites the same number of volumes from the "Tang Catalogue." The "Jade Sea" further notes that the "National History Catalogue" records it as four volumes and the "Chongwen General Catalogue" as three. However, the current edition is 120 volumes, which does not match the records of these previous bibliographies. This discrepancy is likely due to later editors reorganizing the volumes. From volume one "Heavenly Divination" to volume 110 "Star Chart," the content deals with celestial phenomena. From volume 111 "Divination of the Eight Grains" to volume 120 "Divination of Dragons, Fish, Insects, and Snakes," the content focuses on abnormal changes in creatures. Perhaps the first 110 volumes are the original work of Qutan Xida, matching the records of the "Tang Catalogue" and the "Jade Sea." The subsequent ten volumes were likely added by later scholars as supplementary miscellaneous divinations.

卷首標銜，悉達曾官太史監事。考《玉海》開元六年詔瞿曇悉達譯《九執曆》，則悉達之為太史監，當在開元初。卷首又標奉敕撰，而奉敕與成書年月皆無可考，惟其中載歷代曆法止於唐《麟德曆》，且雲李淳風見行《麟德曆》。考唐一行以開元九年奉詔創《大衍曆》，以開元十六年頒之，其時《麟德曆》遂不行，此書仍雲見行《麟德曆》，知其成於開元十六年以前矣。

The official title at the beginning of the volume indicates that Qutan Xida once held the position of Taishi Jian. According to the Zuyi Hai, in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, the court issued an edict ordering Qutan Xida to translate the Indian text Jiuzhizhi Li. This suggests that he was appointed Taishi Jian during the early years of Kaiyuan. The volume also states that it was "compiled by imperial order," but the time when the imperial edict was issued and the date when the book was completed are unknown. However, the book records historical calendars up to the Tang dynasty's Linde Li, and mentions that the Linde Li established by Li Chunfeng was the calendar in use at that time. According to the Tang dynasty monk Yixing, who was ordered by the court in the ninth year of Kaiyuan to create the Dayan Li, which was promulgated nationwide in the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, the Linde Li was then discontinued. Since this book still refers to the Linde Li as the current calendar, it must have been written before the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan.

所言占驗之法，大抵術家之異學，本不足存。惟其中卷一百四、一百五全載麟德、九執二歷。《九執曆》不載於《唐志》，他書亦不過標撮大旨。此書所載，全法具著，為近世推步家所不及窺。又《玉海》載《九執曆》以開元二年二月朔為歷首。今考此書，明雲今起明慶二年丁巳歲二月一日以為歷首，亦足以訂《玉海》所傳之誤。

The method of divination and verification discussed in the book generally belongs to the peripheral studies of the school of numerology and calculation, and is not worth preserving. What is valuable, however, is that volumes 104 and 105 of the book completely include two astronomical calendars, the "Lingde Calendar" and the "Jiu zhi Calendar." The "Jiu zhi Calendar" is not recorded in the "Tang Shu · Yiwen Zhi," and other books that mention it only briefly describe it; this book, however, records the entire set of calculation methods, which are unknown to modern astronomers who calculate celestial phenomena. Additionally, the "Yuhai" states that the "Jiu zhi Calendar" takes the second day of the second lunar month of the second year of Kaiyuan as its starting point. Upon checking this book, it clearly states, "Now take the first day of the second lunar month of the Dingsi year of Mingqing as the beginning of the calendar," which is sufficient to correct the error in the "Yuhai."

至《麟德曆》雖載《唐志》，而以此書較之，多有異同。若推入蝕限術、月食所在辰術、日月蝕分術諸類，《唐志》俱未之載。又此書載章歲、章月、半總、章閏、閏分歷、周月法、弦法、氣法、曆法諸名，與《新唐書》所載全不合。其相合者，惟辰率、總法等目。蓋悉達所據當為《麟德曆》，見行本《唐志》遠出其後，不無傳聞異詞。又是可訂史傳之訛，有裨於考證不少矣。

As for the "Linde Calendar," although it is recorded in the "Tang Shu · Yiwen Zhi," when compared with this text, there are many discrepancies. For example, calculations regarding the method of determining when the sun and moon enter the eclipse limit, the method of determining the hour when a lunar eclipse occurs, and the method of calculating the extent of solar and lunar eclipses are not mentioned in the "Tang Shu." This text also lists terms such as "Zhang Sui," "Zhang Yue," "Ban Zong," "Zhang Run," "Run Fen Li," "Zhou Yue Fa," "Xian Fa," "Qi Fa," and "Li Fa," which are entirely different from those recorded in the "Xin Tang Shu." Only a few items such as "Chen Lv" and "Zong Fa" correspond. It is likely that Qu Tan Xida based his work on the original "Linde Calendar" in use at that time, while the "Tang Shu" was compiled much later, inevitably leading to inaccuracies and inconsistencies due to oral transmission. This can also help correct errors in historical texts and greatly assist in the study of historical verification.

又徵引古籍，極為浩博。如《隋志》所稱緯書八十一篇，此書尚存其七八，尤為罕見。然則其術可廢，其書則有可採也。卷首有萬曆丁巳張熙識語，謂是書歷唐迄明，約數百年，始得之挹元道人。鉤沉起滯，非偶然已。

This book cites a vast number of ancient texts. For example, the "Jingji Zhi" section of the "Sui Shu" mentions eighty-one books of prophecy and omens, and this book preserves more than seven or eight tenths of them, which is especially rare. In this sense, the divination techniques it discusses may be discarded, yet the book itself has much value. At the beginning of the book there is a preface written by Zhang Xi in the Dingsi year of the Wanli era of the Ming dynasty, stating that the book has been passed down from the Tang dynasty to the Ming dynasty, spanning several hundred years, and he obtained it from Yi Yuan Dao Ren. To rediscover ancient texts that had been buried for a long time does not seem to be a mere coincidence.

按後漢河間相張衡《靈憲》曰：“昔在先王，將步天路，用定靈軌，尋考本元。先準之於渾體，是為正儀、立度，而皇極有由建也，樞運有由稽也。乃建乃稽，斯經天常。聖人無心，因茲以生心。故《靈憲》作興。

According to Zhang Heng, who once served as the governor of Hejian during the Eastern Han dynasty, in his astronomical work "Ling Xian," he said: In ancient times, the former kings wished to calculate the paths of the sun, moon, and stars, to determine the rules of the movement of celestial bodies, and to seek the origin of heaven and earth. They always first used the "hun ti" (a spherical model of the heavens) as a standard, using it to calibrate instruments and define measurements. Thus, the "huang ji" (the great central principle, the fundamental way of the sovereign's rule) could be established, and the movement of the celestial axis could be examined. Being able to establish standards and examine movements, they thus grasped the constant laws of heaven. The sages had no deliberate intent, but through these celestial phenomena, they developed the mind for governing the world. Therefore, the book "Ling Xian" was written at the right time.

曰：太素之前，幽清玄靜，寂漠冥默，不可為象。厥中惟虛，厥外惟無，如是者永久焉，期謂溟涬，蓋乃道之根也。道根既建，自無生有。太素始萌，萌而未兆，並氣同色，混沌不分。故道志之言云：‘有物混成，先天地生。’其氣體固未可得而形，其遲速固未可得而紀也。如是者又永久焉，斯謂龐鴻，蓋乃道之干也。

Zhang Heng said: Before the "Tai Su" stage (the initial stage of primordial qi), the universe was profoundly empty, dark and quiet, silent and without light, and could not be described by any form. Inside it was only "Xu" (void), and outside it was only "Wu" (non-being). This state lasted for an extremely long time, which was called "Ming Xing." This was the root of the "Dao." Once the root of the Dao was established, "You" (being) emerged from "Wu" (non-being). The Tai Su began to stir, yet its signs were still not visible. Qi and color were blended together, forming a chaotic and undivided state. Therefore, the classic on the Dao, the "Laozi," says: "There was something formed in a harmonious and complete way, existing before heaven and earth." At that time, the form of primordial qi was not yet distinguishable, and its speed of movement could not be recorded. This state lasted for an extremely long time, which was called "Pang Hong." This was the body of the Dao.

道干既育，有物成體。於是元氣剖判，剛柔始分，清濁異位。天成於外，地定於內。天體於陽，故圓以動；地體於陰，故平以靜。動以行施，靜以合化，堙鬱構精，時育庶類，斯謂天元，蓋乃道之實也。

When the body of Dao has matured, all things have taken form. Then the original qi splits apart, and the strong and the gentle begin to separate, the clear and the turbid each occupying their proper place: Heaven forms outside and generates, while Earth settles inside and establishes its position. Heaven takes yang as its substance, thus having a round shape and ceaseless movement; Earth takes yin as its substance, thus having a flat shape and stillness. Heaven uses movement to spread out the transformation of qi, while Earth uses stillness to assist in generation. The two qi accumulate and interact, combining to form the essence, and at the proper time they give birth to all kinds of creatures. This is called "Heavenly Origin," which is precisely the fruit borne by "Dao."

在天成象，在地成形。天有九位，地有九域。天有三辰，地有三形。有象可效，有形可度。情性萬殊，旁通感薄，自然相生，莫之能紀。於是人之精者作聖，實始紀綱而經緯之。

Heaven forms various celestial phenomena, and the earth forms various physical forms. Heaven has nine directions, and the earth has nine regions; Heaven has the sun, moon, and stars as the three celestial bodies, and the earth has mountains, rivers, and plains as the three types of terrain. Celestial phenomena can be depicted, and earthly forms can be measured. The nature of all things is diverse, they communicate with each other, influence each other closely, and naturally generate and form each other. No one can record them all. Thus, among people, the most intelligent became sages, who first established order and divided the structure.

八極地維，徑二億三萬二千三百里，南北則短減千里，東西則廣增千里。自地至天半丁八極，則地之深亦如之。通而度之，則是渾也。將覆其數，用重差鉤股，懸天之景，薄地之儀，皆移千里而差一寸得之；過此而往，未之或知也。未之或知者，宇宙之謂也。宇之表無極，宙之端無窮。

The diameter of the distance between the eight directions at the ends of the earth is twenty-three million two thousand three hundred li; the distance from north to south is shorter by one thousand li, while the distance from east to west is longer by one thousand li. The height from the ground to the sky is equal to half the diameter of the eight extremes; the depth below the earth is also this same number. When all directions above and below are taken into account, the whole forms a round sphere. To verify these figures, one must use the methods of "repeated differences" and "Pythagorean theorem": measure the length of the shadow cast by the Sun at a height, and compare it with a vertical gnomon placed on the ground, using the proportion that "for every thousand li of distance, the shadow differs by one inch." Beyond this range, there is no way to know. What is referred to as "no way to know" is the "cosmos": "Yu" refers to space, which has no boundary outside; "Zhou" refers to the past and future, which has no end at either end.

天有兩儀，以舞道中。其可觀樞星，是謂之北極。在南者不著，故聖人弗之名焉。其世之遂九分而減二。陽道左廻，故天運左行。有驗於物，則人氣左嬴，形右繚也。

Heaven has two central pivots, north and south, rotating in the center of the celestial path. The visible pivot star is called the "North Pole"; the one in the south is hidden and therefore not given a name by the sages. The phrase "its world is divided into nine parts and reduced by two" seems to have some errors in the original text, but its general meaning is that the degrees of the celestial circle should be calculated by dividing into nine parts and subtracting two. The path of yang energy is to rotate to the left, so the movement of celestial bodies also proceeds to the left. This can be verified in all things: the qi of the human body is more full on the left side, while the form is coiled to the right.

天以陽廻，地以陰淳。是故天致其動，稟氣舒光。地致其靜，承施候明。天以順動，不失其中，則四時順至；寒暑不減，致生有節，故品物用生。地以靈靜，作合承天，清化致養，四時而後育，故品物用成。

Heaven relies on yang energy to rotate, while Earth relies on yin energy to become dense and solid. Therefore, Heaven reaches the extreme of motion, receiving the original energy and spreading out its brightness; Earth reaches the extreme of stillness, receiving the gifts from Heaven and waiting for illumination. Heaven moves in accordance with the seasons without losing its center and uprightness, so the four seasons come in order; cold and heat do not diminish, and growth and nourishment are measured, thus allowing all things to flourish. Earth, with its emptiness, clarity, and stillness, matches and supports Heaven, using the harmonious transformation of clear energy to nurture all things. After the four seasons have passed and all things have matured, thus all things are completed.

凡至大者莫如天，至厚者莫若地，至質者曰地而已。至多莫若水，水精為漢，漢周於天而無列焉，思次質也。地有山嶽，以宣其氣，精鍾為星。星也者，體生於地，精成於天，列居錯峙，各有由屬。

The greatest thing in the world is heaven, the thickest is earth, and the most substantial is also earth. Water is the most abundant, and the essence of water rises to form the "Heavenly River" (Milky Way); the Heavenly River surrounds the entire sky but is not included among the star mansions, because its substance is of a lower quality. On earth there are mountains, which release the earth's energy. The essence of the earth's energy condenses into stars. Stars take shape on earth and their refined energy coalesces in heaven. They are scattered and arranged in opposition, each with its own master.

紫宮為皇極之居，太微為五帝之延。明堂之房，大角有席，天市有座。蒼龍連踡於左，白虎猛據於右，朱雀奮翼於前，靈龜圈首於後，黃神軒轅於中。六擾既畜，而狼蚖魚鱉，罔有不具。在野象物，在朝象官，在人象事，於是備矣。

The Purple Micro Palace is the dwelling place of the Heavenly Emperor. The Taiwei Enclosure is the court where the Five Imperial Emperors receive their ministers. In the heavens, there is a 'Bright Hall' building, with a seat set aside for the 'Dajiao' star, and a place designated for the 'Tianshi' Enclosure. To the east, the Azure Dragon coils and winds on the left, while to the west, the White Tiger stands majestically on the right. To the south, the Vermilion Bird soars ahead, and to the north, the spiritual turtle looks back. In the center is the divine form of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan. The six domesticated animals, horse, ox, sheep, pig, dog, and chicken, are all present. Creatures such as wolf, lizard, fish, and turtle are also found. The celestial phenomena correspond to various creatures in the wild, various official positions in the court, and various affairs on earth. Here, everything is complete.

懸象著明，莫大乎日月。其徑當天周七百三十六分之一，地廣二百四十三分之一。日者，陽精之宗，積而成鳥，象烏，有三趾，陽之類，其數奇。月者，陰精之宗，積而成獸，象兔，陰之類，其數偶。

The celestial phenomena suspended in the sky, whose light is clearly visible, none are greater than the sun and the moon. The diameter of the sun and moon is equivalent to one seven hundred thirty-sixth part of the celestial sphere, and one two hundred forty-third part of the earth's breadth. The sun is the master of yang essence; accumulated yang essence transforms into the form of a bird, symbolized by a crow, which has three feet, belonging to the category of yang, hence taking an odd number. The moon is the master of yin essence; accumulated yin essence transforms into the form of an animal, symbolized by a jade rabbit, belonging to the category of yin, hence taking an even number.

其後有馮焉者，羿請無死之藥於西王母，姮娥以之奔月。將往，枚筮之於有黃，有黃占之曰：‘吉，翩翩歸妹，獨將西行，逢天晦芒，毋驚毋恐，後且大昌。’姮娥遂託身於月，是為蟾蜍。

Later there was also a legend involving the moon: Hou Yi obtained the elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu, and Heng娥 (who is also known as Chang'e) took it and flew to the moon palace. Before she left, she asked a shaman named You Huang to use yarrow stalks for divination. You Huang's interpretation was: "It is auspicious. A graceful woman flying away, traveling alone to the west, encountering dark skies with no light on the way, do not be alarmed or frightened, for afterwards there will be great prosperity." Heng娥 then entrusted her body to the moon and transformed into a toad.

夫日譬猶火，月譬猶水，火則外光，水則含景。故月光生於日之所照，魄生於日之所蔽，當日則光盈，就日則光盡也。眾星被耀，因水轉光。當日之沖，光常不合者，蔽於地也。是謂暗虛。在星星微，月遇則食。

The sun is like fire, and the moon is like water; fire emits light outward, while water holds images within. Therefore, the brightness of the moon arises from the part illuminated by the sun, and the dark part of the moon comes from where the sun is obscured. When the moon is directly opposite the sun, its light is full; when it is close to the sun, its light fades. All the stars receive the illumination of the sun and reflect light like water. The area directly facing the sun often does not receive light because it is blocked by the earth, which is called "dark void." When the star mansions enter the dark void, their light becomes dim; when the moon enters the dark void, an eclipse occurs.

日之薄地，暗其明也。繇暗視明，明無所屈，是以望之若大。方於中天，天地同明。繇明視暗，暗還自奪，故望之若小。火當夜而揚光，在晝則不明也。月之於夜，與日同而差微。星則不然，強弱之差也。

When the Sun is near the horizon, the surroundings are dark while the Sun itself is bright. Looking at a bright object from darkness, the brightness is not suppressed, so it appears larger. When the Sun rises to the middle of the sky, the brightness above and below is the same. Looking at a dim object from brightness, the dimness is overshadowed by the brightness, so it appears smaller. Fire also behaves similarly; it shines brightly at night but is not visible in daylight. The Moon behaves in the same way as the Sun, but the difference is smaller. Stars are different; their size and brightness are only differences in their own light.

眾星列布，其以神著，有五列焉，是謂三十五星。一居中央，謂之北斗。動變定占，實司王命。四佈於方，為二十八宿。日月運行，歷示吉凶，五緯更次，用告禍福，則天心於是見矣。

The stars are arranged in a scattered manner, appearing remarkable due to their divine nature, forming a total of five rows, known as the "thirty-five stars." Among them, one row is located in the center, called the Big Dipper; the movements and changes of the Big Dipper determine the divination, actually governing the fate of the emperor. The other four rows are distributed in the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, and north—known as the Twenty-Eight Mansions. The sun and moon move through these mansions in sequence, displaying auspicious or inauspicious signs; the five elements—gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—successively pass through each mansion, predicting misfortune or fortune. Thus, the will of heaven is revealed.

中外之官，常明者百有二十四，可名者三百二十，為星二千五百，而海人之占未存焉。微星之數，蓋萬一千五百二十。庶物蠢動，咸得繫命。不然何以總而理諸。

The Central Palace and the Outer Palace contain a total of one hundred and twenty-four stars that are always bright, with three hundred and twenty of them having names, making a total of two thousand five hundred stars. The southern celestial phenomena used by sailors are not included in this count. The number of faint and dim stars is approximately eleven thousand five hundred and twenty. All things under heaven are constantly moving, and each has its destiny recorded among the stars; otherwise, how could they be governed and managed?

夫三光同形，有似珠玉，神守精存，麗其職而宣其明。及其衰，神歇精斁，於是乎有隕星。然則奔星之所墮，至則石矣。

The sun, moon, and stars are three luminous bodies with the same form and quality, resembling pearls and jade. They are guarded by deities and retain their vital energy, each shining brightly in their respective positions. When they decline, the deities cease their protection and their vital energy is destroyed, leading to falling stars. Therefore, where a meteor falls, it becomes a stone upon reaching the earth.

文耀麗乎天，其動者七，日、月、五星是也。周旋右廻。天道者，貴順也。近天則遲，遠天則速，行則屈，屈則留廻，留廻則逆，逆則遲，迫於天也。行遲者觀於東，觀於東屬陽；行速者觀於西，觀於西屬陰，日與月以配合也。攝提、熒惑、地候見晨，附於日也。太白、辰星見昏，附於月也。二陰三陽、參天兩地，故男女取焉。

The brilliant light shines in the sky, with seven moving bodies: the sun, moon, and the five planets of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They revolve around the celestial sphere in a clockwise direction, as the heavenly way values smooth movement. Those closer to the celestial sphere move more slowly, while those farther away move faster. In their movement, there are bends, and bends lead to halts and retrograde motion, which in turn cause slower movement. All these are due to the compulsion of the celestial movements. The slow-moving ones are observed in the east, and observing in the east is yang; the fast-moving ones are observed in the west, and observing in the west is yin. This corresponds exactly with the sun and moon. The star of the year (Jupiter), the malefic of violence (Mars), and the earth monitor (Saturn) appear in the morning, following the sun; the white star (Venus) and the morning star (Mercury) appear in the evening, following the moon. Two are yin and three are yang, conforming to the numerical principle of 'parting heaven and dividing earth,' thus the distinction between male and female is modeled after this.

方星巡鎮，必因常度，苟或盈縮，不逾於次。故有列司作使，曰老子四星，周伯、王逢、絮芮各一，錯乎五緯之間，其見無期，其行無度，實妖經星之所，然後吉凶宣周，共詳可盡。”

The four cardinal stars patrol and guard their respective directions, necessarily following fixed degrees. Even if they sometimes advance or lag, they will not exceed their original positions. In addition, there are stars that serve as officials or envoys, called the "Four Old Fathers" stars. There are also individual stars named "Zhou Bo," "Wang Feng," and "Xu Rui," which are scattered among the five visible planets. These stars do not appear at fixed times nor follow regular paths, and they are indeed anomalous stars that disturb the region of the fixed stars. With their presence, auspicious and inauspicious omens are fully manifested, and the details of celestial phenomena can be thoroughly understood.

張衡《渾儀註》曰：“渾天如雞子，天體圓如彈丸，地如雞子中黃，孤居於內。天大而地小，天表裡有水。天之包地，猶殼之裹黃。天地各乘氣而立，載水而浮。

Zhang Heng's "Commentary on the浑仪" says: The shape of the浑天 is like an egg. The celestial sphere is round, like a ball, and the earth is like the yolk in the egg, alone in the center. The sky is vast and the earth is small. Both the outer and inner surfaces of the sky have water. The sky surrounds the earth, just as the eggshell surrounds the yolk. Both heaven and earth rest on qi and stand firm, floating on water.

周天三百六十五度四分度之一；又中分之則一百八十二度八分之五覆地上，一百八十二度八分之五繞地下。故二十八宿，半見半隱，其兩端謂之南北極。

The celestial sphere has a total of 365 and 1/4 degrees. When divided equally, 182 and 5/8 degrees are above the earth's surface, and 182 and 5/8 degrees are below the earth's surface. Therefore, the twenty-eight constellations are always half visible and half hidden. The two endpoints around which the celestial sphere rotates are called the South Pole and the North Pole.

北極，乃天之中也。在正北，出地上三十六度，然則北極上規，徑七十二度，常見不隱。南極，天之中也。在南，入地三十六度，南極下規七十二度，常伏不見。兩極相去一百八十二度半強。

The North Pole is the central point of the sky, located due north, and is thirty-six degrees above the horizon. Drawing a circle around the North Pole as the center, the diameter of the "upper circle" is seventy-two degrees, and the stars within this circle are always visible and never set. The South Pole is also the central point of the sky, located due south, and is thirty-six degrees below the horizon. Drawing a circle around the South Pole as the center, the diameter of the "lower circle" is also seventy-two degrees, and the stars within this circle are always hidden and never visible. The distance between the North and South Poles is a little more than one hundred and eighty-two degrees.

天轉如車轂之運也，周旋無端，其形渾渾，故曰渾天也。赤道橫帶，天之腹；去南北二極，各九十一度十九分度之五。（橫帶者，東西圍天之中要也。然則北極小規去赤道五十五度半，南極小規亦去赤道五十五度半，並出地、入地之數，是故各九十一度半強也。）

The rotation of Heaven is like the hub of a wheel turning continuously, cycling without beginning or end, forming a single, undivided body, hence it is called "Holistic Heaven." The equator is like a belt wrapped around the middle of Heaven, at a distance of ninety-one and five degrees and nineteen parts from the north and south poles. (Original note: This belt runs east-west around the center of the celestial sphere. Thus, the small circle near the north pole is fifty-five and a half degrees from the equator, and the same applies to the small circle near the south pole. Adding the thirty-six degrees by which the north pole is above the horizon and the south pole is below, each side totals ninety-one and a half degrees or so.)

黃道斜帶，其腹出赤道表裡各二十四度。（日之所行也，日與五星行黃道，無虧盈。月行九道：春行東方青道二，夏行南方赤道二，秋行西方白道二，冬行北方黑道二，四季還行黃道，故月行有虧盈。東西南北隨八節也。

The Yellow Path is slanted around the celestial abdomen, extending 24 degrees outside and inside the equator. (Original book note: The Yellow Path is the path that the Sun travels along. The Sun and the five planets all move along the Yellow Path without deviating, experiencing neither excess nor deficiency. The Moon, however, travels along nine paths: in spring it follows two paths of the eastern green path, in summer two paths of the southern red path, in autumn two paths of the western white path, and in winter two paths of the northern black path. At the end of each season, it returns to the Yellow Path, hence the Moon's waxing and waning. The four groups of eastern, southern, western, and northern paths change according to the eight solar terms: the Beginning of Spring, the Vernal Equinox, the Summer Solstice, and the Autumnal Equinox.)

日最短，經黃道南，在赤道外二十四度，是其表也。日最長，經黃道北，去赤道內二十四度，是其裡，故夏至去極六十七度而強，冬至去極百一十五度亦強。

At the time when day is shortest, the Sun passes through the southernmost part of the Yellow Path, twenty-four degrees south of the equator, which is called "biao"; at the time when day is longest, the Sun passes through the northernmost part of the Yellow Path, twenty-four degrees north of the equator, which is called "li". Therefore, on the summer solstice, the Sun is more than sixty-seven degrees south of the North Pole, and on the winter solstice, the Sun is more than one hundred fifteen degrees south of the North Pole.

日行而至斗二十一度，則去極一百一十五度少強，是故日最短，夜最長，景極長，日出辰、入申，晝行地上一百四十六度強，夜行地下二百一十九度少強。夏至日在井二十五度，去極六十七度少強。是故日最長，夜最短，景極短，日出寅，日入戌，晝行地上二百一十九度少強，夜行地下一百四十六度強。）

When the Sun reaches the 21st degree of the Southern Dipper mansion, it is about 115 degrees away from the North Pole, so at this time the day is shortest, the night is longest, and the shadow is longest. The Sun rises from the Chen position (southeast偏east) and sets at the Shen position (southwest偏west). During the day, it travels above the ground for about 146 degrees, and during the night, it travels below the ground for about 219 degrees. On the summer solstice, the Sun is at the 25th degree of the Well mansion, about 67 degrees away from the North Pole, so at this time the day is longest, the night is shortest, and the shadow is shortest. The Sun rises from the Yin position (northeast偏east) and sets at the Xu position (northwest偏west). During the day, it travels above the ground for about 219 degrees, and during the night, it travels below the ground for about 146 degrees.

然則黃道斜截赤道者，即春、秋分之去極也。（斜截赤道者，東西交也。然則春分日在奎十四度少強，西交於奎也。秋分日在角五度弱，東交於角也。在黃赤二道之交中，去極俱九十一度少強，故景居二至長短之中，奎十四、角五，出卯入酉，日晝行地上，夜行地下，俱一百八十二度半強，故晝夜同也。）

This suggests that the two points where the Yellow Path intersects the equator are precisely where the Sun is located at the time of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, in terms of its distance from the North Pole. (Original book note: When the Yellow Path intersects the equator obliquely, it means the Yellow and ecliptic paths intersect at the east and west sides. At the vernal equinox, the Sun is slightly more than 14 degrees in the constellation Qiu Xu, which is where it intersects the west side of Qiu Xu; at the autumnal equinox, the Sun is slightly less than 5 degrees in the constellation Jiao Xu, which is where it intersects the east side of Jiao Xu. The Sun is located at the intersection points of the Yellow and ecliptic paths, and its distance from the North Pole is slightly more than 91 degrees, so the length of the shadow is exactly between the extremes of the winter and summer solstices. At these two points, 14 degrees in Qiu Xu and 5 degrees in Jiao Xu, the Sun rises exactly in the east at the卯 position and sets exactly in the west at the酉 position. During the day, it is above the ground, and during the night, it is below the ground, moving slightly more than 182 and a half degrees, so day and night are equal.)

張衡《渾儀圖注》曰：“今此春分去極九十一度少強，秋分去極九十一度少強者，就夏曆景去極之法以為率也。是以作小渾，盡赤道、黃道，乃各調賦三百六十五度四分之一，從冬至所在始起，令之相當值也。

Zhang Heng's "Commentary on the Diagram of the Armillary Sphere" says: Now the spring equinox is said to be ninety-one degrees more than the north pole, and the autumn equinox is also ninety-one degrees more than the north pole. This ratio is determined by using the length of shadows according to the summer calendar. Therefore, a small armillary sphere is made, with both the celestial equator and the ecliptic fully drawn. Then, the 365 and 1/4 degrees are evenly divided on both the celestial equator and the ecliptic. Starting from the position of the winter solstice, the degrees on the ecliptic and celestial equator are made to correspond with each other.

取北極及衡，各針穿之為軸，取薄竹篾穿其兩端，令兩穿中間與渾半等以貫之，令察之與渾相切摩，乃從減半起，以為八十二度八分之五，盡衡減之半焉。

At the north and south poles, two needles are used to pierce through as the axis. Then a thin bamboo strip is taken, with holes drilled at both ends so that the distance between the two holes is exactly half the circumference of the armillary sphere. The bamboo strip is then fitted over the two axes, allowing it to slide along the surface of the armillary sphere. Starting from the midpoint, it is set to measure eighty-two and five-eighths degrees (the original text seems to be missing the word 'one hundred', so it should be one hundred eighty-two and five-eighths degrees), and this measurement is continued until the midpoint at the end of the southern axis.

又中分其篾，拗去其半，令其半之際，正直與兩端減半相直，令篾半之際，從冬至起一度一移之，視篾之半際多少，黃赤道幾也。其所多少，則進退之數也。從北極數之，則去極之度也。

Now take the bamboo strip and split it exactly in the middle, then remove half of it so that the broken half aligns straight with the reduced ends. Let the midpoint of the bamboo strip start from the winter solstice and move degree by degree. By observing the degree indicated by the midpoint, one can determine the difference between the Yellow Path and the Ecliptic at that point. The amount of difference indicates the number of degrees by which the Yellow Path advances or retreats. Counting from the North Pole, this also shows the degree of distance from the pole at that point.

各分赤道、黃道為二十四氣，一氣相去十五度十六分之七，每一氣者，黃道進退一度焉。所以然者，黃道直時去南北極近，其處地少而橫行，與赤道且等，故以篾度之，於赤道多也。

The equator and the Yellow Path are each divided into twenty-four segments called solar terms. The distance between each solar term is seventeen and seven sixteenths degrees. As each solar term passes, the Yellow Path advances or retreats by one degree. This is because when the Yellow Path is near the north and south poles, the portion it covers is small and almost horizontal, nearly parallel to the equator. Therefore, when measured with bamboo strips, the degrees measured on the equator appear greater.

設一氣令十六日皆常率，四日差少半也。令一氣十五日，不能半耳。故使中道三日之中差少半，三氣一節，故四十六日而差今三度也。至乎差三之時而五日同率者一，其實一節之間不能四十六日也。今殘日居其策，故五日同率也。其率雖同，先之皆強，後之皆弱，不可勝記耳。

If each solar term is considered as sixteen days, and calculated at the same rate, then four days would differ by less than half a degree; if each solar term is considered as fifteen days, the difference would still be less than half a degree. Therefore, within the middle three days, the difference would be less than half a degree. When three solar terms are combined into one, forty-six days would result in a difference of three degrees. When the difference reaches three degrees, there will be a situation where five consecutive days share the same rate. In reality, one solar term does not reach forty-six days, but the remaining days are included in the calculation, leading to the phenomenon of five days sharing the same rate. Although these rates are the same, the earlier ones are slightly stronger, and the later ones are slightly weaker. The minor discrepancies are numerous and cannot all be recorded.

至於三而復有進退者，黃道稍斜於橫行，不得度故也。春分、秋分所以退者，黃道始起更斜矣，於橫行不得度故也。亦每氣一度焉。故三氣一節亦差三度也。至三氣之後，稍遠而直，故橫行得度而稍進也。

After the difference reaches three degrees, there is both advancement and retreat, because the Yellow Path gradually tilts away from the horizontal direction, and the measured amount is insufficient by the proper degree. At the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, the retreat occurs because the Yellow Path begins to tilt more sharply from here, so measuring horizontally results in a deficiency of the degree, and each solar term differs by one degree. Therefore, three solar terms together result in a difference of three degrees. After three solar terms, the Yellow Path gradually moves away from the pole and becomes more level, so measuring horizontally allows for the proper degree to be reached, and thus it gradually advances again.

立春、立秋橫行稍退矣，而度猶雲進者，以其所退減其所進，猶有盈餘未盡故也。立夏、立冬橫行稍進矣，而度猶雲退者，以其所進增其所退，猶有不足未畢故也。以斯言之，日行非有進退也，而以赤道量度黃道使之然也。本二十八宿相去度數，以赤道為強耳，故黃道亦有進退也。

At the time of the beginning of spring and autumn, the degrees along the ecliptic are gradually retreating, yet they are still said to be advancing. This is because the retreat is being used to offset the previous advance, and there is still a surplus that has not been fully accounted for. Similarly, at the beginning of summer and winter, the degrees along the ecliptic are gradually advancing, yet they are still said to be retreating. This is because the advance is being used to compensate for the previous retreat, and there is still a deficit that has not been fully made up. According to this reasoning, the movement of the sun itself does not have any real advance or retreat. It is only when measuring the ecliptic with the equatorial scale that the appearance of advance and retreat becomes evident. Originally, the degrees between the twenty-eight constellations were determined based on the equator. Since the equator measures more strongly, the ecliptic also appears to have advance and retreat as a result.

冬至在斗二十一度少半，最遠時也，而此歷斗二十度，俱一百一十五度強矣，冬至宜與之同率焉；夏至在井二十一度半強，最近時也。而此歷井二十三度，俱六十七度強矣，夏至宜與之同率焉。”

At the winter solstice, the sun is at 21.5 degrees of the Dipper mansion, which is the time when it is farthest from the north pole; however, this calendar fixes the sun at 20 degrees of the Dipper mansion, and the distance from the pole is over 115 degrees in both cases. Therefore, the winter solstice should be calculated according to this proportion. At the summer solstice, the sun is at 21.5 degrees more of the Well mansion, which is the time when it is closest to the north pole; however, this calendar fixes the sun at 23 degrees of the Well mansion, and the distance from the pole is over 67 degrees in both cases. Therefore, the summer solstice should also be calculated according to this proportion.

漢靈帝時議郎蔡伯喈於朔方上書曰：“論天體者有三家：《宣夜》之學，絕無師法。《周髀》術數具存，考驗天狀，多所違失。唯渾天近得其情。今史官所用候臺銅儀，則其法也。立八尺圓體而具天地之形，以正黃道，占察發斂，以行日月，以步五緯，精微深妙，百世不易之道也。”

During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the official Cai Yong (also known as Bojie), who held the position of Yilang, submitted a memorial while in exile in Shuofang. He stated that there were three schools of thought regarding the celestial sphere. The Xuanye school had no established tradition or method to rely upon. The Zhou Bi school, although possessing numerical methods for calculation, often failed when tested against actual celestial phenomena. Only the Hun Tian theory was closer to the truth. The bronze armillary sphere currently used by the historians at the observatory is based on the Hun Tian theory. It features a circular frame eight feet in height, incorporating the forms of both heaven and earth. It is used to correct the Yellow Path, observe the north-south movement of the Sun, measure the degrees of the Sun and Moon, and calculate the positions of the five planets. Its subtle and profound principles are beyond change for generations.

蔡氏《月令章句》曰：“天者純陽精剛，轉運無窮。其體深而包地，地上者一百八十二度八分之五，地下亦如之。其上中北偏出地三十六度，謂之北極，極星是也。史官以玉衡，長八尺，孔徑一寸，從下端望之，此星常見於孔端，無有移動，是以知其為天中也。

Cai Yong's "Chapter on the Monthly Ordinances" says: Heaven is a refined and strong body formed by the pure yang energy, and it rotates endlessly. Its form is deep and vast, encompassing the earth: the part above the ground measures one hundred eighty-two and five-eighths degrees, and the part below the ground is the same. The center of heaven is slightly to the north of the central position, thirty-six degrees above the ground, which is called the "North Pole." The North Star is located there. The historians used the Yu Heng to measure it. The Yu Heng is eight feet long and has a one-inch diameter. Looking through the lower end, this star always appears at the other end of the hole without any movement, so they concluded that it is the central axis of heaven.

其下中南偏，入地亦三十六度，謂之南極，從上端望之，當孔下端是也。此兩中者，天之輻軸所在，轉運所由也。

Heaven's center lies slightly south of the middle, and it sinks into the earth at a depth of thirty-six degrees, which is called the "South Pole." Looking from the top of the Yu Heng, the place directly opposite the bottom of the hole is where it is located. These two central points, north and south, are the hub and axle of the great celestial wheel, and the entire rotation of heaven is generated through them.

天左旋出地上而西，入地下而東，其繞北極徑七十二度，常見不伏，圖內赤小規是也。繞南極徑七十二度，常伏不見，圖外赤大規是也。據天地之中，而察東西，則天半見半不見，圖中赤規截婁、角者是也。”

The sky rotates to the left, moving westward when it appears above the ground and eastward when it disappears beneath the ground. The circle around the North Pole, with a diameter of seventy-two degrees, contains stars that are always visible and never hidden, which is represented by the red small circle in the star chart. The circle around the South Pole, also with a diameter of seventy-two degrees, contains stars that are always hidden and never visible, which is represented by the red large circle at the outer edge of the star chart. Standing at the center of the heavens and observing east and west, the sky is half visible and half invisible, which is represented by the red circle crossing the Bond mansion and Horn mansion in the chart.

後漢末吳人陸公紀《渾天》曰：“先生之道，存乎治曆明時，本之驗著，在於天儀。夫法象莫若渾天，渾天之設久矣。昔在顓頊，使南正重司天。而帝嚳亦序三辰，堯命羲和，欽若昊天，曆象日、月、星辰。舜之受禪，在璇璣玉衡，以齊七政。以是數者言之，曩時已立渾天之象明矣。

In the late Eastern Han dynasty, the Wu native Lu Ji (style name Gongji) wrote in his book "Holysphere": The way of the sage ancestors is realized in establishing the calendar and clarifying the seasons; however, its fundamental verification and manifestation lie in the instruments used to observe the heavens. To model the image of heaven, nothing is more appropriate than the holysphere. The establishment of the holysphere has a long history. In the time of Zhuanxu, the southern official Chong was entrusted with matters of the heavens; Emperor Ku arranged the order of the three celestial bodies, the sun, moon, and stars; Yao ordered Xi Shi and He Shi to respectfully follow heaven's course, observing and calculating the movement of the sun, moon, and stars; after Shun accepted the mandate, he used the "Xuanji Yuheng" instrument to correct the paths of the sun, moon, five planets, and the seven major celestial bodies. From these instances, it is clear that the holysphere model was already established long ago.

周公序次六十四卦，兩者相承，反覆成象，以法天行，周而復始，晝夜之義，故《晉卦象》曰：“晝日三接。”《明夷象》曰：“初登于天，後入于地。”仲尼說之，曰：“明出地上，晉進而麗乎大明，是以晝日三接，明入地中。”明夷夜也，先晝後夜，先晉後明夷，故曰初登于天，照四國也。後入于地，失則也。日月麗乎天，隨天轉運，出入乎地，以成晝夜也。渾天之義，蓋與此同。

The Duke of Zhou arranged the order of the sixty-four trigrams, with adjacent trigrams connected in sequence, forming the trigram images whether viewed normally or reversed. This was done to follow the movement of Heaven, which cycles continuously, and it contains the principle of day and night. Therefore, the image text of the "Progress" trigram says, "Three times visiting the Son of Heaven during the day," and the image text of the "Darkness over Light" trigram says, "At first rising up to the sky, then sinking into the earth." Confucius explained, "Light comes from the earth, which is the Progress trigram—advancing and attaching to the great brightness, hence three times visiting during the day; light sinking into the earth is the Darkness over Light trigram." Darkness over Light refers to night. Since day comes first and night follows, the Progress trigram is arranged first, followed by the Darkness over Light trigram. Therefore, "at first rising up to the sky" refers to shining over all the surrounding states, while "later sinking into the earth" means losing the established order. The sun and moon attach to the sky, rotating with Heaven, appearing and disappearing on the earth, thus forming day and night. The principles of the theory of the spherical heavens are roughly similar to this.

仲尼歿，大道乖，諸子穿鑿妄作，乃有蓋天之說。其以虛偽，較然可知，又曰：“渾天以日出地上則晝，故《易》曰：‘明出地上，晝日三接。’又曰：晉，晝也。日入於地則夜，夜則明傷。故《易》曰：‘明夷，傷也。”又曰：“‘初登于天，照四國也。後入于地，失則也。’《尚書》：‘寅賓出日，寅餞納日。’以此言之，知出入於地，審矣。若日不出於地，則何緣得有晝、夜、明、暗乎。

After Confucius' death, the great principles became distorted, and the various schools of thought fabricated and invented new theories, leading to the theory of "Covered Heaven." Its falsehood is clearly evident. Lu Ji said: The theory of the spherical heaven holds that when the Sun rises above the earth, it is day, so the Zhou Changes say, "Light comes from above, and in the daytime, there are three times of appearance," and also say, "Jin means daylight." When the Sun sinks below the earth, it is night, and the light is diminished, so the Zhou Changes say, "Mingyi means injury." He also said, "At first, when the Sun rises into the sky, it illuminates all the four directions; later, when it sinks into the earth, it loses its regular course." The Book of Documents, Yao's Classic, says, "With reverence, welcome the sunrise, and with reverence, send off the sunset." Based on this, we can know that the Sun indeed rises and sets on the earth, which is clearly evident. If the Sun does not rise from beneath the earth, then on what basis can there be distinctions between day and night, and between light and darkness?

天半覆地上，半周地下，繞地而運。故二十八宿半見半隱，如天半右覆地上，半周地下，二十八宿何故再見更隱乎。由此言之，天乃裹地而運，信矣。此是昏明之大術也。

Heaven occupies half above the earth and half around below the earth, circling the earth, so the twenty-eight constellations are always half visible and half hidden. If we follow the theory of the Covering Heaven, which says that Heaven is slanting, half covering the earth and half going around beneath it, how can the twenty-eight constellations appear and disappear repeatedly? Therefore, the idea that Heaven revolves around the earth is indeed credible. This is the principle behind the alternation of day and night.

天之形狀，圓周渾然，運於無窮，故曰渾。《易》曰：‘乾為天，為圜。’又曰：‘先甲三日，後甲三日，終則有始。’天行也，此之謂矣。天大地小，天統地；半覆地，上半周地下，譬如卵白，白繞黃也。”

The shape of Heaven is round and complete, continuously rotating without end, so it is called "hun." The "Zhou Yi · Shuo Gua" says: "Qian represents Heaven and roundness." The "Gu Gua" also says: "Three days before the Jia day and three days after the Jia day, it concludes and begins again." This precisely describes the movement of Heaven, explaining this principle. Heaven is vast, while Earth is small; Heaven governs Earth. Half of Heaven covers the Earth, and the other half surrounds the Earth beneath, just like the egg white surrounding the yolk.

揚子雲《太玄經》曰：“天穹隆而周乎下，地旁薄而向乎上，故知天裹地下。周天三百六十五度四分度之一，一百八十二度八分度之五覆地上，一百八十二度八分度之五周地下，故二十八宿半見半隱，日月出入以成昏明也。

In the "Classic of Supreme Mystery," Yang Xiong, who was known as Zi Yun, said: Heaven is lofty and arches downward, while Earth is vast and flat, extending upward to receive it. Therefore, it is known that Heaven encompasses the area beneath Earth as well. The full circle of the heavens is 365 and 1/4 degrees. Of this, 182 and 5/8 degrees cover the land, and 182 and 5/8 degrees encircle the land beneath. Thus, half of the twenty-eight mansions are visible and half are hidden. The sun and moon rise and set among them, thereby creating the periods of dawn, daylight, dusk, and night.

北極星北方偏出於地三十六度，南極中偏入於地亦三十六度，南極、北極天軸所在，轉運所由，譬車之有輪，所以自行也。眾星皆移無常，惟北極守中不易，是以知其為天中也。天傾，故極在中北。仲尼曰：‘譬如北辰，居其所而眾星共之。’”

The North Star is located in the north, deviating 36 degrees from the ground, while the South Star is in the center, deviating 36 degrees southward into the ground. The North and South Stars are the locations of the celestial axis, from which the rotation of the sky originates. Just as a cart has a wheel axle that allows it to move on its own, the sky rotates due to this axis. All the stars are in motion and their positions are ever-changing, but the North Star remains fixed in the central position, never moving. Therefore, it is known to be the center of the sky. The sky is tilted, so the celestial pole is located slightly north of the central position. Confucius said, "Just as the North Star remains in its place, while all the other stars revolve around it."

又《太玄經》曰：“天圓地方，極樞中央，動以歷靜，時乘十二，以建七政。’是以《堯典》曰：‘在璇璣玉衡，以齊七政。’此之謂也。繞南極七十度，常在地下不出地。周天一百七萬一千里，東西南北徑三十五萬七千里，立徑亦然。”自外諸說，度次交會，與蔡氏、張衡同，故略雲。

The Classic of Supreme Mystery also says: Heaven is round and Earth is square, with the pole at the center. It moves through stillness, rotating in sequence according to the twelve earthly branches, thus establishing the paths of the sun, moon, five planets, and the seven luminaries. Therefore, the Classic of Yao in the Book of Documents says, "Using the璇玑 and玉衡 to regulate the seven luminaries," which refers to this very concept. The area around seventy degrees south of the south celestial pole remains beneath the earth and does not appear above the surface. The circumference of the celestial sphere is one million and seventy thousand li, with the diameter from east to west and from north to south being thirty-five thousand seven hundred li. The diameter from above to below is the same. There are also other schools of thought discussing the order of degrees and the intersections of the ecliptic and the equator, which are all consistent with what Cai Yong and Zhang Heng have said, so they are omitted here.

吳將廬江王蕃《渾天象說》曰：‘幽平之後，周室遂卑，天子不能頒朔，魯曆不正，百有餘年；以建申之月為建亥，而怪蟄蟲不伏也。曆紀廢壞，道術浸亂，渾天之義，傳之者寡，末世之儒，或不聞見，各以私意，為天作說；故有《周髀》、《宣夜》之論。《宣夜》絕無師法。《周髀》見行於世，考驗天伏，多所違失。

In the book "Hun Tian Xiang Shuo" (Treatise on the浑 Heaven Model), Wang Fen, a general of the Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period and a native of Lujiang, said: After King You of Zhou and King Ping of Zhou, the royal house of Zhou gradually declined, and the Son of Heaven could no longer issue the calendar and the beginning of the month to the feudal lords. The calendar of Lu state became disorderly and incorrect, lasting for more than a hundred years. They even took the month of Jiashen (the seventh month of the Xia calendar) as the month of Jiahai (the tenth month of the Xia calendar), and were puzzled why insects did not retreat underground to hide. The principles of the calendar were abandoned, and the study of astronomy gradually became chaotic. The meaning of the theory of the浑 heaven was passed down by few people. Some late scholars had never even heard of it, and thus created their own theories to explain the heavens, leading to the emergence of two schools of thought: the "Zhou Bi" and the "Xuanye" theories. The Xuanye theory had no teacher's transmission or established rules. The theory of Zhou Bi was popular among people, but when tested against the appearances and disappearances of celestial phenomena, it often showed discrepancies.

依劉洪《乾象曆》之法而論渾天曰：‘前儒舊說，天地之體，狀如鳥卵，天包地外，猶殼之裹黃也。周旋無端，其形渾渾然，故曰渾天也。周天三百六十五度五百八十九分度之百四十五，東西南北，辰轉周規，半覆地上，半在地下，故二十八宿半見半隱；以赤儀準之，其見者常百八十二度有奇，是以知其半覆地上，半隱地下，其二端謂之南極、北極，天之中也。

Wang Fan discussed the theory of the浑天 using the calculation method from Liu Hong's "Ganxiang Li". He said: previous scholars of the Confucian tradition believed that the shape of heaven and earth was like that of a bird's egg, with heaven surrounding the earth, just as the eggshell surrounds the yolk. It rotates continuously without beginning or end, forming a complete sphere, hence it is called the浑天. The entire circle of the sky is 365 and 145/589 degrees. The directions east, west, south, and north move along the twelve earthly branches in a circular path, with half of it covering the land and the other half hidden beneath the ground. Therefore, the twenty-eight constellations are half visible and half hidden. Using the equatorial armillary sphere for verification, the visible portion is usually about 182 degrees more. From this it can be known that half of the sky covers the land and the other half is hidden beneath it. Its two endpoints are called the South Pole and the North Pole, which are the central axis of the sky.

北極在正北，出地三十六度。南極在正南，入地亦三十六度。兩極相去一百八十二度半強。眾星皆移，而北極不徙，猶車輪之有釭軸也。繞北級徑七十二度，常見不隱，謂之上規。繞南極七十二度，常隱不見，謂之下規是也。上規去南極，下規去北極，皆一百四十度半強。以二規於渾儀。

The North Pole is located in the due north, thirty-six degrees above the horizon; the South Pole is in the due south, thirty-six degrees below the horizon. The distance between the two poles is one hundred eighty-two and a half degrees. All the stars are moving, but the North Pole remains fixed, like the axle of a cart wheel. A circle around the North Pole with a diameter of seventy-two degrees contains stars that are always visible and never set, called the "upper circle." A circle around the South Pole with a diameter of seventy-two degrees contains stars that are always hidden and never appear, called the "lower circle." The upper circle is one hundred forty-two and a half degrees away from the South Pole, and the lower circle is the same distance from the North Pole. These two circles must both be marked on the armillary sphere.

為中規赤道帶天之紘，去兩極各九十一度少強。黃道，日所行也。半在赤道外，半在赤道內，與赤道東交於角五弱，西交於奎十四少強。其出赤道外極遠者，去赤道二十四度，斗二十一度是也。其入赤道內極遠者，入赤道二十四度，井二十五度是也。

The central circle is the equator, like a belt called "Capping" around the middle of the sky, located about 91 degrees from each of the north and south poles. The Yellow Path is the path of the Star of brightness and prestige, half of it lying outside the equator and half inside. It intersects the equator slightly before the fifth degree of the Horn mansion in the east and slightly after the fourteenth degree of the Legs mansion in the west. The farthest point of the Yellow Path outside the equator is 24 degrees away from the equator, which corresponds to the twenty-first degree of the Dipper mansion. Similarly, the farthest point of the Yellow Path inside the equator is also 24 degrees within the equator, which corresponds to the twenty-fifth degree of the Well mansion.

日南至斗二十一度，去極百一十五度少強，是日最南，去極最遠，故景最長。黃道斗二十一度，出辰、入申，故日亦出辰、入申，晝行地上百四十六度強，故日短；夜行地下二百一十九度少弱，故夜長。

On the day of the winter solstice, the sun moves southward to the 21st degree of the Dipper mansion, which is 115 degrees plus a little away from the north pole. This is the day when the sun is furthest south and farthest from the north pole, resulting in the longest shadow. At the 21st degree of the Dipper mansion on the Yellow Path, the sun rises at the Dragon position and sets at the Monkey position, so the sun also rises at the Dragon position and sets at the Monkey position. During the day, the sun travels 146 degrees plus a little above the ground, so the daylight is short; at night, the sun travels 219 degrees minus a little below the ground, so the night is long.

自南至之後，日去極稍近，故景稍短；日晝行地上度稍多，故日稍長；夜行地下稍少，故夜稍短；日行度稍北；故日出入稍北；以至於夏至日在井二十五度，去極六十七度少強，是日最近北，去極最近，故景最短。

After the winter solstice, the sun gradually approaches the north pole, so the shadow becomes shorter gradually; the degrees the sun travels above the ground gradually increase, so the day becomes longer gradually; the degrees the sun travels below the ground gradually decrease, so the night becomes shorter gradually; the sun's path gradually leans north, so the direction of sunrise and sunset also gradually leans north. Until the summer solstice, the sun reaches 25 degrees in the Well mansion, slightly more than 67 degrees from the north pole, on this day the sun is closest to the north, so the shadow is the shortest.

黃道井二十五度出寅、入戌，故日亦出寅、入戌，日晝行地上二百一十九度少弱，故日長；夜行地下百四十六度強，故夜短；自夏至之後，日去極稍遠，故景稍長；日晝行地上度稍少，故日稍短；夜行地下度稍多，故夜稍長；日所在度稍南，故日出入稍南；以至於南至，而復初焉。斗二十一度，井二十五度，南北相應四十八度。

The Yellow Path passes through the Well mansion covering 25 degrees. This begins rising at the Yin position and sets at the Xu position, so the Star of brightness and prestige also rises at Yin and sets at Xu. During the day, it travels 219 degrees slightly less above the ground, hence the day is long; at night, it travels 146 degrees more below the ground, hence the night is short. After the summer solstice, the Star of brightness and prestige gradually moves farther from the North Pole, so the shadow becomes longer; the degrees it travels above the ground gradually decrease, so the day gradually shortens; the degrees it travels below the ground gradually increase, so the night gradually lengthens; the position of the Star of brightness and prestige gradually shifts southward, so the direction of sunrise and sunset also gradually shifts southward. Until the winter solstice, it returns to its original state. The Well mansion covers 21 degrees and the Dipper mansion covers 25 degrees, corresponding north and south, differing by 48 degrees.

春分日在奎十四少強，秋分日在角五少弱；此黃赤二道之中交也。去極俱九十一度少強，南北處斗二十一、井二十五之中，故景居二至長短之中，奎十四、角五，出卯、入酉，故日亦出卯、入酉，日晝行地上，夜行地下，俱百八十二度半強，故日見之漏五十刻，不見之漏五十刻，謂之晝夜同。

At the time of the vernal equinox, the sun is located at the 14th degree of the Qiu mansion with a little more, and at the autumnal equinox, it is at the 5th degree of the Jiao mansion with a little less. These two points are exactly the midpoint where the ecliptic and the celestial equator intersect. Both points are about 91 degrees away from the north celestial pole, and their north-south positions are precisely in the middle between the 21st degree of the Dou mansion and the 25th degree of the Jing mansion. Therefore, the length of the shadow is between the extremes of the winter solstice and the summer solstice. The points at the 14th degree of the Qiu mansion and the 5th degree of the Jiao mansion rise at the Mao position and set at the You position, so the sun also rises at the due east (Mao) position and sets at the due west (You) position. During the day, it travels above the earth, and at night, it travels below the earth, covering a little more than 182 and a half degrees. Therefore, the visible hours of the sundial are fifty parts, and the invisible hours are also fifty parts, which is called equal day and night.

夫天之晝夜，以日出入為分；人之晝夜，以昏明為限。日未出二刻半而明，日入後二刻半而昏。故損夜五刻，以增晝刻。是以春秋分之漏，晝五十五刻。

The heavenly division of day and night is based on the rising and setting of the sun; the human division is based on the brightness of the sky and darkness. Before the sun rises, two and a half measures of time have already passed with the sky beginning to brighten, and after the sun sets, two and a half measures of time pass before the sky becomes dark. Therefore, five measures should be subtracted from the night time and added to the daytime. Thus, during the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, according to the water clock, the daytime is fifty-five measures.

渾天遭周秦之亂，師傳斷絕，而喪其文，唯渾儀尚在，臺是以不廢，故其詳可得言。至於纖微委屈，闕而不傳，周天裡數，無聞焉爾。而《洛書軌曜度》、《春秋考異郵》皆云：周天一百七萬一千里。至以日景驗之，違錯甚多，然其流行，布在眾書，通儒達士，未之考正。是以不敢背損舊術，獨據所見。故按其數，更課諸數，以究其意也。

The study of the spherical heavens suffered disruption during the Warring States period and the Qin dynasty, with teachers and disciples unable to pass on their knowledge, and the classics scattered and lost. Only the armillary sphere remained, so the observatory was not abandoned, and thus its general principles could still be explained. However, the subtle and intricate details were lost and missing; the exact number of li in a full circle of the heavens was unknown. The谶纬 texts, the "Luo Writing Illumination Measure" and the "Spring and Autumn Examination of Differences," both say that the heavens measure one million and seven ten-thousand li. When tested with the shadow of the sun, there are many errors and inconsistencies, yet this figure has been widely circulated and appears in many books. Even learned Confucian scholars have not examined or corrected it. Therefore, I dare not abandon or reduce the old calculations based solely on my own views; thus, I follow this number and recalculate the relevant data to investigate its original meaning.

古歷皆云周天三百六十五度四分度之一，皆分一百七萬一千里數為一度闊二千九百三十二里七十一步二尺七寸四分大強；斗下分為七百三十三里一十七步五尺一寸八分大弱。三光之行，不必有當，術家以算，追而求之；故諸家之歷，各有異同，

Ancient calendars all stated that the celestial circle is 365 and 1/4 degrees, and they divided the total of 1,071,000 li by degrees, resulting in a width of 2,932 li, 71 steps, 2 chi, 7 cun, and 4 fen approximately per degree. The remaining 1/4 degree, known in calendrical terms as "dou xia fen," equates to 733 li, 17 steps, 5 chi, 1 cun, and 8 fen approximately. The movement of the sun, moon, and five planets may not exactly match these figures, so calendrical experts can only use calculations to seek and determine them, hence different schools of calendrical calculation have similarities and differences.

漢靈帝之末，四分曆與天違錯，時會稽東部都尉太山劉洪，善於推候，乃考術史官自古至今曆法，原其進退之行，察其出入之驗，視其往來，度其終始。課斗下分不能四分之一，減以為五百八十九分之一百四十五，更造《乾象曆》，以追日、月、五星之行。比於諸家，最為精密，今史官所用，則其歷也。

In the late years of the Han Ling帝, the four-part calendar did not agree with celestial phenomena. At that time, Liu Hong, a person from Taishan who served as the eastern deputy commander of Kuaiji, was skilled in calculating and verifying astronomical phenomena. He examined various calendars used by historians since ancient times, traced the movement and retreat of the sun and moon, investigated their appearances and disappearances, observed their recurring patterns, and measured their beginning and end. He calculated that the "division below the斗" was less than a quarter of a degree, and adjusted it to 145/589. He then created the "Ganxiang Calendar" to recalculate the movements of the sun, moon, and five planets. Compared with other calendars, this one was the most accurate. The current calendar used by the officials is this one.

故所作渾象諸，分度節次及昏明中星，皆更以《乾象》法作之，擊天一百七萬一千里，以《乾象》法分之，得二千九百三十二里八十步三尺九寸五分弱，斗下分為七百二十一里二百五十九步四尺五寸地二強。《乾象》全度長古歷全度九步一尺二寸少弱，斗下分減古歷斗下分十一里五十八步六寸六分弱，其大數俱一百七萬一千里，斗下分減，則全度純數使其然也。

So when I made the celestial globe, I revised all the divisions and the stars at the meridian at dusk and dawn according to the calculations in the "Ganxiang Calendar." Taking the full circle of 1,071,000 li, I divided it according to the degrees in the "Ganxiang Calendar," resulting in one degree being approximately 2,932 li, 80 bu, 3 chi, 9 cun, and 5 fen, and the portion below the斗 (dou) being approximately 721 li, 259 bu, 4 chi, 5 cun, and 2 fen (the original text says 'four chi five cun ground two strong,' which seems to have some errors). One full degree in the "Ganxiang Calendar" is slightly longer than one degree in the old calendar by about 9 bu, 1 chi, and 2 cun. The portion below the斗 in the "Ganxiang Calendar" is slightly shorter than that in the old calendar by about 11 li, 58 bu, 6 chi, and 6 cun. The total remains 1,071,000 li, and the reduction in the portion below the斗 is precisely due to the increased actual length of the full degree.

又陸績云：‘周天一百七萬一千里，東西南北徑三十五萬七千里，立徑亦然。’此蓋天黃赤道之徑數也。渾天蓋天黃赤道周天度同，故績取以言耳。此言周三徑一也。

Lu Ji also said: "The circumference of the sky is one million and seven ten thousand li, and the diameter in the east-west and north-south directions is fifty-five thousand seven thousand li, and the diameter vertically is the same." This actually refers to the diameter figures derived by the Gaitian school from the ecliptic and equatorial circles. The Huntuan and Gaitian schools both used the same circumference measure for the celestial circle, so Lu Ji was able to cite it. This calculation is based on the old ratio of "the circumference is three times the diameter."

古歷術日率圓周三，中徑一，臣更考之徑一不翅周三率；周百四十二，而徑四十五，以徑率乘一百七萬一千里，以周率約之，得徑三十二萬九千四百一里一百二十二步二尺二寸一分七十一分分之十，東西南北及立徑皆同，半之得十六萬九千七百里二百一十步一尺六寸百四十二分分之八十一，地上去天之數也。

Ancient methods of calculation stated that the circumference of a circle is three times its diameter; I have re-examined this and found that when the diameter is one, the circumference is more than three. Taking the circumference rate as 142 and the diameter rate as 45, multiply the diameter rate by 1,070,000 li, then divide by the circumference rate to obtain a diameter of 329,401 li, 122 bu, 2 chi, 2 cun, 1 fen, and 10/71. The east-west, north-south, and up-down diameters are all the same. Taking half of this, we get 169,700 li, 210 bu, 1 chi, 6 cun, and 81/142, which is the distance from the earth to the heavens.

夫周徑固前定物，為蓋天者，尚不考驗，而乃論天地之外，日月所不照，陰陽所不至，日精所不及，儀術所不測，皆為之說虛誕無證，是亦鄒子瀛海之類也。

The circumference and diameter are things that can be measured right before one's eyes. Those who advocate the theory that the heavens are a dome do not even bother to test these, yet they talk extensively about matters beyond the heavens—places that sunlight cannot reach, where yin and yang cannot extend, where sunlight cannot penetrate, and where instruments and calculations cannot measure. They fabricate explanations for all these places, which are baseless and without evidence. This is no different from the empty talk of Zou Yan of the Warring States period, who claimed there was a great sea beyond the nine provinces.

臣謹更以晷景考周天裡數，按《周禮大司徒》之職云：‘土圭之法，測土深，正日景，以求地中。日南則景短多暑；日北則景長多寒；日東則景夕多風；日西則景朝多陰。日到之景，盡有五寸，謂之地中。’鄭玄云：‘土圭之長，尺有五寸，以夏至立八尺表，其景適與圭等，謂之地中，今潁川陽城地為然。’鄭玄云：‘凡日景於地，千里而差一寸。景尺有五寸者，南戴日下萬五千里也。’

I now carefully use the shadow of the sun to measure the distance around the heavens. The Book of Rites, the Great Master of the People, says: "Use the method of the soil圭 to measure the distance of the land, correct the shadow of the sun, and find the center of the earth. In the southern direction, the shadow is short and there is more heat; in the northern direction, the shadow is long and there is more cold; in the eastern direction, the shadow is like that of the evening and there is more wind; in the western direction, the shadow is like that of the morning and there is more dampness. On the summer solstice, when the shadow is exactly one foot five inches, it is called the center of the earth." Zheng Xuan explains: "The soil圭 is one foot five inches long. On the summer solstice, if a pole eight feet high is erected, its shadow will be exactly the same length as the soil圭, and this is called the center of the earth. Now, the place in Yangcheng County, Yingshui Commandery is exactly like this." Zheng Xuan also says: "Whenever the shadow of the sun is cast on the ground, for every thousand li of distance, the shadow differs by one inch. A shadow of one foot five inches indicates that the place is fifteen thousand li south of the location directly under the sun."

誠以八尺之表，而有尺五寸景，是立八十而旁十五也；南萬五千里而當日下，則日當去其下地八萬里矣。從日斜射陽城，則天徑之半也，天體圓如彈丸，地處天之半，而陽城為中，則日春、秋、冬、夏、明、晝、夜，去陽城皆無盈縮矣，故知從日斜射陽城為天徑之半也。

If a gnomon eight chi high casts a shadow of one and a half chi, the ratio is vertical eighty to horizontal fifteen. If one travels south fifteen thousand li to reach the location directly beneath the sun, then the distance from the sun to the ground below should be eight ten-thousand li. The line from the sun slanting to Yangcheng is the radius of the celestial sphere. The celestial sphere is round like a ball, and the earth is at its center, with Yangcheng being the center of the earth. Therefore, the sun, regardless of the seasons, day or night, maintains the same distance from Yangcheng. Thus, the line from the sun slanting to Yangcheng is precisely the radius of the celestial sphere.

以勾股法言之，旁萬五千里勾也。立八萬里，則股也。從日斜射陽城，則弦也。以勾股求弦法入之，得八萬一千三百九十四里三十步五尺三寸六分，天徑之半，而地上去天之數也。倍之，得十六萬二千七百八十八里六十一步四尺七寸二分，天徑之數也。以周率乘之，徑率約之，得五十一萬三千六百八十七里六十八步一尺八寸二分，周天之數也。

Using the Pythagorean theorem: the horizontal distance of fifteen thousand five hundred li is the leg (勾), the vertical distance of eight ten-thousand li is the other leg (股), and the line from the Sun to Yangcheng is the hypotenuse (弦). Applying the Pythagorean method to calculate the hypotenuse, we get eighty-one thousand three hundred ninety-four li, thirty steps, five feet, three inches, and six parts, which is the radius of the celestial sphere, i.e., the distance from the earth to the heavens. Doubling this gives sixteen thousand two hundred seventy-eight li, sixty-one steps, four feet, seven inches, and two parts, which is the diameter of the celestial sphere. Multiplying this by the circumference rate and dividing by the diameter rate, we obtain fifty-one thousand three hundred sixty-seven li, sixty-eight steps, one foot, eight inches, and two parts, which is the length of the celestial circle.

減《甄曜度》《考異郵》五十五萬七千三百一十二里有奇，一度凡一千四百六里百二十四步六寸四分十萬七千五百六十五分分之萬九千四十九，減舊度千里五百二十五里二百五十六步三尺三寸二十一萬五千一百三十分分之十六萬七百三十分。

This number is more than fifty-five thousand seven hundred and thirty-two li less than what is stated in the "Luo Writing Verification and Measurement" and the "Spring and Autumn Examination of Miscellaneous Mail." According to this calculation, one degree of the celestial sphere corresponds to one thousand four hundred and six li, one hundred and twenty-four bu, six cun, four fen, and one ten-thousandth of nine thousand and forty-nine, which is one thousand five hundred and twenty-five li, two hundred and fifty-six bu, three chi, three cun, and sixteen thousand and seven hundred and thirty over twenty-one thousand five hundred and thirty parts less than the previous account. (The original text's phrase "a thousand five hundred and twenty-five li" seems to have an error.)

夫末世之儒，多妄穿鑿，補增《河洛》，竊作讖緯，其言浮虛難悉，據用六官之職，周公所制勾股之術，目前定數，晷景之度，事有明驗，以求推之，近為詳矣。

In the later ages, most Confucian scholars tended to indulge in fanciful interpretations and fabricated additions to the Yellow River Chart and the Luo Writing, privately creating omens and prophecies. These statements are superficial and baseless, difficult to fully trust. Now, based on the duties of the six officials as recorded in the Zhou Li, using the Pythagorean mathematics established by the Duke of Zhou, and relying on the definite numbers and measurements obtained from the shadows of the sun, everything can be verified clearly. By using these to make deductions, the account is comparatively more concrete and reliable.

黃赤道相與交錯，其間相去二十四度。以兩遊儀準之，二道俱三百六十五度有奇，是以知天體圓如彈丸。而陸績造渾象，其形如鳥卵；然而黃道應長於赤道矣。績云：‘東西南北徑三十五萬七千里。’然則績亦以天形正圓也。而渾象為鳥卵，則為自相違背。

The Yellow Path and the Equator intersect with each other, and the maximum distance between them is twenty-four degrees. Using two armillary spheres for calibration, both paths measure over three hundred and sixty-five degrees, thus indicating that the celestial sphere is round like a ball. However, Lu Ji made a celestial globe in the shape of an egg, implying that the Yellow Path should be longer than the Equator. Lu Ji himself also stated that the diameter of the sky in the four cardinal directions is thirty-five thousand seven hundred li, showing that he actually believed the sky to be a perfect sphere. Yet the celestial globe he made was egg-shaped, which is contradictory.

月行二十七日有奇而周天，其行半出黃道外，半入黃道內；在內謂之陰道，在外謂之陽道，其行陰陽道極遠者不過六度。黃道無常，諸家各異，各依其歷。節氣所行宿度，《尚書》、《月令》、《太初》、《三統》、《四分》、《乾象》各不同，昏明亦異，日行蹉跌，不遵常之所為也。

The moon takes about twenty-seven days to orbit the heavens once, with half its path outside the Yellow Path and half inside. The part inside is called the Yin Path, and the part outside is called the Yang Path. The maximum distance the moon travels in and out of the Yin and Yang Paths does not exceed six degrees. The fixed method of the Yellow Path varies among different schools, each based on their own calendar system. The positions of the sun during the solar terms, as recorded in the Book of Documents, the Rites of Zhou: Monthly Orders, and the Tai Chu Calendar, the San Tong Calendar, the Si Fen Calendar, and the Qian Xiang Calendar, differ from one another. The stars observed at sunset and at dawn also vary, because the movement of the sun is irregular and does not strictly follow a fixed pattern.

夫三光之行，雖有盈縮，天地之體，常然不變，故諸家之歷，皆不著渾象，唯黃道當各隨其歷而錯之。而今臣所施黃道，《乾象》法也，審校先代諸儒，於春秋二分多差，而冬夏二至恆在；二分限中，蕃按渾象之法，地當在天中，其勢不便故，反觀其形。地為外匡，於已解者，無異在內。詭狀殊體，而合於理，可謂奇巧。

The movements of the sun, moon, and stars, though they have periods of fullness and contraction, the form of heaven and earth remains constant. Therefore, various calendars do not need to create their own armillary spheres, but the Yellow Path must be placed according to each calendar. The Yellow Path I have placed here follows the method of the Ganyang Calendar. Careful examination of the previous scholars' conclusions shows that their errors were mainly in the spring equinox and autumn equinox, while the winter solstice and summer solstice remained accurate. The errors were all within the range of the two equinoxes. Wang Fan considered the method of the armillary sphere: the earth should be placed at the center of the celestial sphere, but that would make the structure inconvenient to observe. Therefore, he reversed the perspective, making the earth appear as an outer frame. For those who understand the principle, this is no different from placing the earth within the heavens. Though the shape is strange and the structure is unique, it conforms to the principles, and can be considered ingenious.

古舊渾象，以二分為一度，周七尺三寸半分。漢張衡更制，以四分為一度，凡周一丈四尺六寸一分。臣以古制局小，以布星辰，相去稠概，不得了察；而張衡所作，又復傷大，難可轉移。前表間以三分為一度事，許令臣新作周一丈九寸五分四分分之三，長古法三尺六寸五分四分分之一，減張衡亦三尺六寸五分四分分之三，渾象法黃道、赤道各廣一度有半，故今所作渾象，黃、赤道各廣四分半、相去七寸二分。渾儀中筒為璇璣，外規為玉衡。（吳太史令陳卓所作《渾天論》與王蕃大同。）

In ancient times, there was a device called the浑象, with each degree measured as two-thirds of a foot, making the entire circumference seven feet three inches and a half. In the Han dynasty, Zhang Heng redesigned it, measuring each degree as four-thirds of a foot, resulting in a total circumference of thirteen feet six inches and one part. I think the ancient design was too small, and after placing the stars, they were too close together to be clearly seen. Zhang Heng's design, on the other hand, was too large to be moved or rotated. Previously, I proposed using three-thirds of a foot as a degree, and was granted permission to create a new one. The total circumference of this new device is one zhang nine inches and five parts plus three parts of four, which is three feet six inches and one part plus three parts of four longer than the ancient method, and three feet six inches and three parts of four shorter than Zhang Heng's. According to the standard method of the浑象, the Yellow Path and the Red Path each have a width of one and a half degrees, so in this newly made浑象, the Yellow Path and the Red Path each have a width of one and a quarter, and the distance between the two paths is seven inches and two parts. The cylindrical part in the center of the浑仪 is called "Xuan Ji," and the outer circular ring is called "Yu Heng." (Original note: The "Hun Tian Lun" written by Chen Zhuo, the Astronomer of the State of Wu, is largely consistent with Wang Fen's description.)

姜岌《渾天論答難》曰：“渾天之說，天體包裹，地在其中。七曜躔麗，道有常率。天體旁倚，故日道南高而北下；運轉之樞，南下而北高。二樞為轂，日道為輪，周廻運移，終則復始。北樞謂之北極，出地上三十六度，故天北際七十二度，常見而不伏。南樞謂之南極，入地下亦三十六度，故天南際七十二度常伏而不見。

In the "Hol Tian Lun Da Nan" (Treatise on Answering Difficulties on the Theory of the Sphere), the astronomer and calendarist Jiang Ji of the Sixteen Kingdoms period said: The theory of the sphere holds that the celestial sphere surrounds the outside, and the earth is located at the center of the sky. The sun, moon, five planets, and seven luminaries move along the celestial sphere, each following a constant path. The celestial sphere is inclined, so the path of the sun is higher in the south and lower in the north. However, the axis of rotation of the celestial sphere is lower in the south and higher in the north. The northern and southern pivots are like the hub of a wheel, while the path of the sun is like the rim of the wheel, continuously rotating and moving. The northern pivot is called "Beiji" (North Pole), rising 36 degrees above the ground, so the area of the sky covering 72 degrees to the north is always visible and never hidden. The southern pivot is called "Nanjing" (South Pole), sinking 36 degrees below the ground, so the area of the sky covering 72 degrees to the south is always hidden and never visible.

或云：火，陽也，故外照。金、水，陰也，故內景。日為陽精，故為外照；月為陰之宗，應內景。而月復能外照，何也？對曰：月光者，日曜之所生，是故外景如日照也；是故瑩金、澄水得日之照，照物亦有景。

Someone asked: Fire belongs to Yang, so it radiates outward; metal and water belong to Yin, so they only contain images internally. The Sun is the essence of Yang, so it radiates outward; the Moon is the master of Yin, so it should only contain images internally. Yet the Moon can also radiate outward. Why is this? Answer: The light of the Moon is produced by the Sun's illumination, so the light it emits outward is like the Sun's illumination. Just as bright metal and clear water surfaces, when exposed to sunlight, can reflect light onto other objects and create images.

又曰：月無虧盈，虧盈由人也；日月之體，形如圓丸，各徑千里，月體向日，常有光也。月之初生，日曜其西，人處其東，不見其光，故名曰魄。魄一日之後，微東而南，故明生焉。八日正在南方，半之故見其弦也。望則人處日月之間，故見其圓也。

Jiang Ji also said: The moon itself does not have phases of being full or crescent; the appearance of fullness or crescent is caused by the position of the observer. The forms of the sun and moon are both like spheres, each with a diameter of one thousand li. The side of the moon facing the sun is always illuminated. When the moon is newly born, the sun shines on its western side, but people stand on its eastern side and cannot see the light on that side, so it is called "Pò". After one day, the moon moves slightly eastward and slightly southward, and the bright part becomes visible. By the eighth day, the moon is in the south, and the bright part is exactly half, so it appears as a crescent moon. On the full moon day, people are positioned between the sun and moon, so the moon appears full.

假使月初生時，移人在日月之間，東向以視，則月光圓若望也。夏至之日，日入戌，月初生時，則西北近日有光。及出於寅，未閱三日，以視月，則東北近日處光滿也。研之於心，驗之於目，月體向日，有光而形圓矣。

Suppose a person is moved to between the sun and moon at the beginning of the month, and looks east, the moonlight seen is still full, just like on a full moon day. On the summer solstice, the sun is at the戌 position, and at the beginning of the month, the side of the moon facing northwest near the sun is illuminated. When the sun rises at the寅 position and it has not yet been three days, looking again at the moon, one sees that the side facing northeast near the sun is already full. By thinking carefully and verifying with the eyes, one can know that the side of the moon facing the sun is always illuminated, and its shape is round.

難者又云：日曜星月，明乃生焉。然則月望之日，夜半之時，日在地下，月在地上，其間隔地，日光何由得照月，暗虛安得常日沖？對曰：日之曜天，不以幽而不至；不以明而不及。赫烈照於四極之中，明光曜煥乎宇宙之內，循天而曜星月，猶火之循突而升，及其光曜，無不周矣。惟沖不照，名曰暗虛，蓋日及天體，猶滿面賁鼓矣。

The person who raised the objection further said: The moon depends on the sun's light to produce brightness. But on the night of the full moon, the sun is beneath the earth, the moon is above the earth, and they are separated by the earth in between. How can the sunlight reach the moon? How can the dark void always face the sun? Answer: The sun shines upon the sky, not because a place is dark that it cannot reach, nor because a place is bright that it cannot reach. It brightly illuminates all four directions, its radiance thoroughly fills the universe. It follows the celestial bodies to illuminate the stars and the moon, just as fire rises along a chimney. Its light reaches everywhere. Only the spot directly opposite the sun is not illuminated, called the "dark void." This is because the sunlight covers the entire celestial sphere, just as a drumhead is stretched tightly.

日之光炎，在地之上，礙地不得直照而散，故薄虧，而照則近；在地之下，聚而直照，故滿盈，而照而遠。以斯言之，則日光應曜星月，有何礙哉？《易傳》：‘日夜食則星亡。’無日以曜之故也。

The light of the Sun, when it is above the ground, is obstructed by the earth and cannot shine straight ahead, but spreads outwards, appearing thin and dim, and its reach is short; when it is below the ground, it gathers and shines straight, appearing full and bright, and its reach is far. According to this, sunlight should naturally illuminate the stars and the moon, so what could prevent it? The Commentary on the Changes says, "When an eclipse occurs during the day, the stars disappear." This is precisely because there is no Sun to illuminate them.

難雲地上不得直照而散，故薄虧而照近。檢先望一日，日未入地而月已出，相去三十餘萬里，日在地上，散而直照，不應及月，而使月全明者，何也？對曰：薄虧而照則近，是言礙地光難周耳。水流溼，火就燥，類相從也。月星者，類也。日光散照，雖不及月，譬之燃燭，一燭在上，一燭在下，滅下燭使煙相當，則上滅之談，循煙而下，燃下燭矣。此類相從也。

Some people have raised an objection: if sunlight above the earth does not shine directly but spreads out and is weak and insufficient, then on the day before the full moon, when the sun has not yet set and the moon has already risen, the two are more than thirty thousand miles apart. At this time, the sun is above the earth, its light spreading out rather than shining directly, and should not reach the moon. Yet the moon is fully bright. Why is this? The answer is: the statement that sunlight is weak and insufficient and only reaches nearby places merely means that the earth obstructs the light, making it difficult for the light to reach everywhere. Water flows to the wet places, and fire burns in the dry places; similar things naturally follow each other. The moon and stars are things similar to the sun's light. Although the sun's light, which spreads out, cannot reach the moon, we can use a candle as an example: if one candle is placed above and another below, and the lower one is blown out, allowing the smoke to face the upper one, then the flame of the upper candle will follow the smoke downward and re-light the lower one. This is the principle of similar things following each other.

難者又曰：日夜食則眾星亡。按月體不大於地，今日在地下，月在地上，地體大尚不能掩日使不照月，月體小於地，安能掩日使不照曜星也。對曰：上元之初，日月如疊璧，五星如連珠，故曰重光。重光者，日在上，月次之，星居下。地在宿內，故掩日月光，星月存而曜亡也。月在星宿之外，故掩日，日光不得照星也。”

The person who raised the objection also said: When an eclipse occurs, making day like night, all the stars disappear. But according to the size of the moon, it is not bigger than the earth. Now the sun is below the earth and the moon is on the earth. Even the larger earth cannot block the sun's light from reaching the moon. Since the moon is smaller than the earth, how can it block the sun's light from reaching the stars? Answer: At the beginning of the calendar cycle, the sun and moon were like stacked jade disks, and the five planets were like connected pearls, so it was called "repeated brightness." The term "repeated brightness" refers to the sun being at the top, the moon next, and the stars at the bottom. The earth is inside the star mansions, so when it blocks the light of the sun and moon, the stars and moon are still there but their light is not visible. The moon is outside the star mansions, so when it blocks the sun's light, the sun's light cannot reach the stars.

梁武帝《嘗儀》云：“月體不全光，星亦自有光，非受明於日。若是日曜月所以成光，去日遠則光全，去日近則光缺。五星行度亦去日有遠近，五星安得不盈虧？當知不然。太陽之精，自有光景，但異於太陽，不得渾赫。星月及日，體質皆圓，非如圓鏡，當如丸矣。”

Liang Wu Di in the "Chang Yi" said: The form of the moon is not entirely luminous on its own; stars also have their own light, and are not dependent on the light from the sun. If the moon's brightness comes from the sun's illumination, then when the moon is far from the sun, its light should be full, and when it is close to the sun, its light should be diminished; the five planets also vary in their distance from the sun, so why would they not also experience waxing and waning? Clearly, this is not the case. The essence of the sun has its own light and shadow, but the light of stars and the moon is different from that of the sun, and cannot be as brilliant and grand as the sun's. The bodies of stars, the moon, and the sun are all round, unlike a flat circular mirror, but rather like a ball.

祖暅曰：“姜岌此言非也，星猶月，稟日之光，然後乃見。若星在日裡，則應盈魄，今既不然，故知星在日表而常明也。按星體自有光曜，非由稟日始明，今星宿有時食，月在魄中，分明質見，則是星行亦在月裡，不專在表。又姜岌承二燭為喻，理亦迂廻，非實驗也。”

Zugeng said: Jiang Ji's words are incorrect. Stars and the moon are both seen because they receive sunlight. If a star were on the inner side of the sun, it should be like the moon's dark and bright phases, sometimes full and sometimes crescent. But since it is not like that, we can conclude that the stars are on the outer side of the sun and thus always bright. However, we should also note that stars themselves emit light, not only by receiving sunlight. Now, when a star is eclipsed by the moon, and the moon is in its dark half, the star's shape is still clearly visible, showing that the stars sometimes lie on the inner side of the moon, not exclusively on the outer side. Moreover, Jiang Ji's use of the analogy of two candles is too indirect and not based on actual observation.

晉侍中劉智《論天》曰：“凡含天地之氣而生者，人其最貴而有靈智者也。是以動作營為，皆應天地之象。古先聖王，觀靈曜，造算數，準辰極，制渾儀，原性理，考徵詳。贊其幽義，而作歷術焉。

In the Jin Dynasty, the official Liu Zhi wrote in his work "Discourse on Heaven" that all beings that receive the vital energy of heaven and earth, are most esteemed and endowed with spiritual wisdom among them. Therefore, every action and endeavor of humans must correspond with the phenomena of heaven and earth. The ancient sages and kings observed the brightness of the sun, moon, and stars, created arithmetic, took the north star as their reference, made the armillary sphere, explored the nature and principles of all things, examined the details of verification, and explained the profound meanings, thus giving rise to the study of calendars.

渾儀象天之圓體，以含地方，輪轉周匝，中有二端，其可見者，極星是也，謂之北極。在南者，在地下不見，故古人不名。陰陽對合為群生，父母精象在於五星，其於共成天地之功也，則日月為政，五星為緯，天以七紀，七曜是也。

The浑仪 is modeled after the round shape of heaven, containing the square earth within it. When it rotates through a full circle, it covers everything completely. In the middle, there are two endpoints: the one that is visible is the polar star, called the North Star; the one in the south is located underground and cannot be seen, so the ancients did not give it a name. Yin and yang interact and generate all kinds of beings. The images of the essence of parents are reflected in the five planets. In terms of their shared contribution to the creation of heaven and earth, the sun and moon are called 'zheng' (government), and the five planets are called 'wei' (measuring lines). Heaven uses the seven to form its framework, which are known as the seven luminaries.

北極不過為眾星之君，命政指授，以斗建時。斗有七星，與曜同精，而布節氣於下者也。晦朔分於東西，消息辨於南北，取以定四方，天地配合，方氣有常，天以七紀，方修其政。故方有七宿，二十八星是也。

The North Star is merely the sovereign among the stars, issuing commands and directing affairs, determining the seasons by the position of the handle of the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper consists of seven stars, just like the seven luminaries, formed by condensed vital energy, spreading out the seasonal changes below. The alternation of new and old moons is observed in the east and west, while the waxing and waning of yin and yang is discerned in the north and south, thus determining the four directions. Heaven and earth correspond with each other, and the energies of each direction follow their own regular patterns. Heaven uses seven as its standard, and each direction also establishes its own governance, so each direction has seven stars, making up the twenty-eight constellations in total.

天有常度，日月成象。眾星有宮分，方物有體類，在朝十八星是也。天有常度，日月成象。眾星有宮分，方物有體類，在朝象官，在野象物，在人象事，理自然也。眾星定位，七曜錯行，盈縮有期節，故曆數立焉。

Heaven has constant measurements, the sun and moon form distinct celestial phenomena; the myriad stars each have their own assigned positions, and the things of the four directions each have their own forms and categories. In the court, they correspond to the eighteen stars. (This passage is a repetition from the original text, and it is recorded as such.) Heaven has constant measurements, the sun and moon form distinct celestial phenomena; the myriad stars each have their own assigned positions, and the things of the four directions each have their own forms and categories: in the court they correspond to the officials, in the fields they correspond to all things, in human affairs they correspond to various matters, this is the natural principle. Each star has its fixed position, the seven luminaries move in intersecting paths, their movements and variations have fixed limits and sequences, thus the study of calendars and astronomical calculations was established.

日，太陽也；施溫萬物生，施光則陰以明，眾所稟為倡先者也。君，尊之象也。月，太陰也。稟照於陽，虧盈隨時，有所稟受，臣卑之道也。五星象五常，托四時，成五事。

The Sun is the essence of the Sun; it spreads warmth, enabling all things to grow, and it spreads light, making dark things visible. It is what all things receive and follow, taking the leading position, thus symbolizing the sovereign's dignity. The Moon is the essence of the Too Yin; it receives illumination from the Sun, constantly waning and waxing, receiving all things, which embodies the way of a minister's humility and obedience. The Five Stars symbolize the Five Constants of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness, which are寄托ed in the four seasons, accomplishing the five affairs of appearance, speech, gaze, hearing, and thought.

舊說日譬猶火也，月譬猶水也，火則施光，水則含景。故月光生於背日，當日則光盈，近日則明滅。然則月為臣象可知矣。又曰：當其衝月食者，陰性毀損，不受光也。群臣不等強，日月不等明。陰在於上，不自抑損，陽必侵之。望在交度，其應必食。故《詩》云：‘披月而食，則維期常。’道勢然也。侵甚，則既虛之象也。

Old interpretations compared the sun to fire and the moon to water; fire emits light outwardly, while water contains images within. Therefore, moonlight appears on the side facing away from the sun, and when the moon is directly opposite the sun, its light is full, but when it is close to the sun, its brightness fades. From this perspective, the moon symbolizes ministers, which can be understood. Old interpretations also state: when the sun and moon are in opposition and an eclipse occurs, it is because the nature of yin is damaged and cannot receive brightness. The strength of ministers varies, and the brightness of the sun and moon is not equal; when yin is in a superior position without self-restraint, yang will inevitably attack it. The full moon occurs precisely at the intersection of the yellow and white paths, and accordingly, an eclipse must occur. Therefore, the Book of Poetry says: "When the moon experiences an eclipse, it is still considered a common occurrence." This is due to the nature of things and the situation. When the attack is severe, it becomes the image of a total lunar eclipse.

日，尊君象也。月，卑臣象也。晦朔之會，交則同道。同道則形相蔽。天道君為尊，臣由臣道，雖度相值，月不掩日，卑下尊也。不由臣道，月掩日體，卑凌尊也。是故太平之時，交而不食，尊卑道順。”

The Sun symbolizes the noble and exalted sovereign, while the Moon symbolizes the humble minister. On the day when the new moon begins, the Sun and Moon meet; if they are precisely at the conjunction point, they travel along the same path. When they are on the same path, their forms will obscure each other. According to the heavenly order, the sovereign is the highest: if a minister follows the proper conduct of a minister, even if their positions align exactly, the Moon will not cover the Sun, for the humble should not take the place of the exalted. But if the minister does not follow the proper conduct, the Moon will cover the Sun, indicating that the humble has overstepped the exalted. Therefore, when the world is at peace, the Sun and Moon may meet but do not cause an eclipse, as the principles of hierarchy are maintained.

或問云：“顓頊氏造渾儀，黃帝為蓋天，其遺說雲蓋天象笠，極在其中，日月遠近，以為晦明。渾儀以天裹地，地載於氣，天以廻轉，而日月出入，以為晦明。二說誰其得之？”

Someone asked: Zhuan Xu established the浑仪, and the Yellow Emperor created the盖天. The remaining teachings of the盖天 say that the sky is like a bamboo hat, with the pole at the center of the hat, and the sun and moon, as well as people, are at varying distances, thus causing the phenomena of dawn, dusk, daylight, and darkness. The theory of the浑仪 says that the sky surrounds the earth, the earth rests on the气, and the sky rotates continuously, with the sun and moon rising and setting among it, thus causing the phenomena of dawn, dusk, daylight, and darkness. Which of these two theories is correct?

劉智曰：“蓋天之論謬矣，以春秋二分，日出卯入酉，若天象車蓋，極在其中，日、月、星辰，廻還藏明，二分之時，當晝短夜長。今以漏刻數之，則晝夜分等。以日入較之，則出卯入酉，此蓋天之說不通之驗也。然此二器，皆古之所制，但傳說義者，失其用耳。

Liu Zhi answered: The theory of the dome-shaped sky is wrong. Because on the days of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sun rises from the Mao position in the due east and sets in the You position in the due west. If the sky were like a canopy with its apex in the center, and the sun, moon, and stars merely revolved around the top of the canopy, disappearing when they moved far away, then on the days of the equinoxes, the day should be short and the night long. But according to the water clock, day and night are exactly equal. Moreover, comparing the positions of sunrise and sunset, they indeed rise from Mao and set in You. This is evidence that the theory of the dome-shaped sky is incorrect. However, both the dome-shaped sky model and the armillary sphere were inventions of ancient people, but later those who transmitted their meanings lost their original purposes.

昔者，聖王治曆明時，作圓蓋，以圖列宿，極在其中。廻之以觀天象，未可正昏、明，分晝，夜；故作渾儀也。象天體，亦以極為中，而朱規為赤遊周環，去極九十一度有奇。考日所行，冬夏去極遠近不同，故復畫為黃道；夏至去極近，冬至去極遠，二分之際，交於赤道；二道有表裡，以定宿度之進退，為術乃密。

In ancient times, the sage kings established calendars and clarified the seasons by first making a circular dome and drawing the twenty-eight constellations on it, with the pole star at the center. They rotated it to observe celestial phenomena; however, this was insufficient for accurately determining dawn and dusk or dividing day and night. Therefore, they constructed the armillary sphere. The armillary sphere was modeled after the celestial sphere, also with the pole at its center. It was painted red with a circular equatorial ring surrounding it, at a distance of more than ninety-one degrees from the pole. They examined the path of the sun, noting that its distance from the pole varied between summer and winter. Hence, they also drew the Yellow Path. At the summer solstice, the sun was closest to the pole, while at the winter solstice, it was farthest away. At the equinoxes, the Yellow Path crossed the equator. The Yellow and Red Paths differed in their positions, used to determine the movement of the constellations and to make calculations more precise.

至漢順帝時，南陽張衡，考定進退。靈帝時，太山劉洪，步月遲疾。自此之後，天驗愈詳。自司馬遷、劉向、劉歆、揚雄、賈逵、張衡、蔡邕、劉洪、鄭玄，此九君者，不但精於算步，皆博索沈綜，才思弘遠，而不合論渾蓋之用。明定日行四時之道，雖或精考，雅有所得，亦或出心裁，失其本旨。人之不同，處意各異；道之難盡，效於斯矣。”

During the time of Emperor Shun of Han, Zhang Heng from Nanyang determined the degrees of the Yellow Path's advance and retreat; during the time of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong from Taishan calculated the slow and fast movement of the moon. Since then, the verification of celestial phenomena has become more detailed. From Sima Qian, Liu Xiang, Liu Xin, Yang Xiong, Jia Kui, Zhang Heng, Cai Yong, Liu Hong to Zheng Xuan, these nine scholars not only excelled in calculation and verification but also widely collected and deeply thought, with broad and far-reaching intellect. However, they did not reach agreement on the use of the two instruments, the浑天 (homogeneous heaven) and the盖天 (covering heaven). As for determining the path of the Star of brightness and prestige through the four seasons, although some carefully examined and indeed had insights, others relied on their own assumptions and lost the original meaning. People differ, their intentions vary; the difficulty of understanding principles is evident here.

或問曰：“古歷論月食，或雲陰損，則不受明。或雲暗虛，暗虛所在。值月則月食，值星則星亡。今子不從，何也？”劉智曰：“言暗虛者，以為當日之沖，地體之蔭，日光不至，謂之暗虛。凡光之所照，光體小於所蔽，則蔭大於本質。今日以千里之徑，而地體蔽之，則暗虛之蔭，將過半矣。星亡月毀，豈但交會之間而已哉。由此言之，陰不受明，近得之矣。”

Another person asked: In ancient times, astronomers explained lunar eclipses, some saying it was due to the damage of yin energy, so that light could not be accepted; others said it was due to the presence of "dark emptiness" — when dark emptiness met the moon, a lunar eclipse occurred, and when it met a star, the star would disappear. Now you do not adopt the latter explanation, why is that? Liu Zhi answered: Those who talk about dark emptiness believe that the place directly opposite the sun is the shadow cast by the earth, where sunlight cannot reach, and this is called dark emptiness. Whenever light is cast, the light source is smaller than the object it illuminates, so the shadow is larger than the object itself. Now the sun's diameter is thousands of li, and the earth blocks it, so the shadow of dark emptiness would be larger than half the sky. If that were the case, the disappearance of stars and the eclipse of the moon should not only occur when they meet. Therefore, the explanation of "yin not receiving light" is closer to the truth.

又問曰：“若如所論，必有大蔭，月在日沖，何由有明？”劉智曰：“夫陰含陽面明，不待陽光明照之也。陰陽相應，清者受光，寒者受溫，無門而通，雖遠相應。是故觸石而雲出者，水氣之通也。相向而相及，無遠不至，無隔能塞者，至清之質，承陽之光，以天之圓，面向相背，側正不同，光魄之理也。陰陽相承，彼隆此衰，是故日月有爭明，日微則晝見，若但以形光相照，無相引受之氣，則當陽隆乃陰明隆；陽衰則陰明衰。二者之異，無由生矣。”

He then asked: According to your explanation, there must be a great shadow, yet the moon is in opposition to the sun, so how can it still shine? Liu Zhi answered: Yin contains the side facing yang and thus produces brightness, it does not necessarily require direct sunlight. Yin and yang respond to each other: clear things receive light, cold things receive warmth, and communication can occur without a direct path, even when they are far apart. Therefore, when a mountain or stone is touched, clouds rise, because of the connection of water vapour. When things face each other, they can reach each other, even if they are far apart, nothing can block them. The moon is of the clearest substance, receiving the light of yang. Because celestial bodies are round, the moon's face can be facing, back, or sideways, which is the reason for the formation of brightness and the moon's phases. Yin and yang mutually support each other, so when one is strong the other is weak, hence the phenomenon of competition between sun and moon. When the sun's light is weak, stars and the moon can still be seen in the daytime. If there were only mutual illumination between form and light, without mutual attraction and the transmission of energy, then when yang is strong, the brightness of yin would also be strong, and when yang is weak, the brightness of yin would also be weak. But the difference between them now arises precisely because of this.

後魏太史令晁崇，修渾儀以觀星象。按其儀以永興四年歲次困敦創造，傳至後魏末，入齊往周，隨至於大唐。歷年久遠，儀蓋日以傾墜。太史者，歷正也。

After the Northern Wei dynasty, the official Zhao Chong, who was in charge of astronomical observations, constructed a浑仪 to observe celestial phenomena. This instrument was created in the fourth year of Yongxing, which was the year of Zi (the Rat), and it was passed down until the end of the Northern Wei dynasty. Later, it was transferred to the Northern Qi dynasty and then to the Northern Zhou dynasty, and eventually passed on to the Tang dynasty. Due to the long period of time, the top cover of the instrument gradually tilted and deteriorated. The term "太史" refers to the official responsible for the calendar and astronomical affairs.

自景雲三年奉敕重令修造，使銀青光祿大夫、檢校將作少監楊務廉；與銀青光禪大夫、行太史令瞿曇悉達；正議大夫、行太史令李仙宗；試太史令殷知易；荊州都督兼秘書監、兼右衛率薛玉；銀青光祿大夫、檢校秘書監吳師道；正議大夫、行秘書少監閻朝隱等，首末共營，各盡其思。至先天二年，歲次赤備若，成其銘曰：“周天三萬七千里，分寸無敗；成歲三百六十日，盈縮有期。敬之敬之，以授人時。”今史司見用測候。

In the third year of Jingyun, they were ordered by imperial decree to reconstruct it, and appointed officials such as Yang Wulián, a silver and green officer of the Office of the Imperial Grace, and acting deputy supervisor of the Office of Works; Qutan Xida, a silver and green officer of the Office of the Imperial Grace, and acting Astronomer-in-Chief; Li Xianzong, a properly appointed officer of the Court, and acting Astronomer-in-Chief; Yin Zhiyi, a trial Astronomer-in-Chief; Xue Yu, the governor of Jingzhou and concurrently the Director of the Imperial Library, and concurrently the commander of the Right Guards; Wu Shidao, a silver and green officer of the Office of the Imperial Grace, and acting Director of the Imperial Library; and Yan Chaoyin, a properly appointed officer of the Court, and acting Deputy Director of the Imperial Library, to work together from the beginning to the end, each contributing their wisdom and thoughts. By the second year of Xiantian, in the year of Chi Fen Rao (the year of the Ox), they completed this instrument. The engraved inscription says: "The celestial sphere is thirty-seven thousand li, with precision in every inch, hair, and fraction; one year consists of three hundred and sixty days, with its expansion and contraction following a fixed cycle. Reverently, reverently, it is used to announce the seasons to the people." Now the office of the historians is using it to observe and verify.

守太子率更令何承天《論渾象體》曰：“詳尋前說，因觀渾儀，研求其意。有悟天形正圓，而水居其半。地中高處卑，水周其下。言四方者，東曰暘谷，日之所出。西日濛汜，日之所入。莊子又云：‘北溟有魚，化而為鳥，將徒於南溟。’斯亦古之遺記，四方皆水證也。

Heavenly Steward Hou Taizi Shu Geng Ling He Cheng Tian said in his work "On the Form of the Celestial Sphere": By carefully examining previous statements and observing the armillary sphere, he investigated the underlying principles and thus realized that the shape of heaven is a perfect circle, with water occupying half of it. The earth is higher in the center and lower around the edges, with water surrounding it below. Regarding the four directions, the east is called "Yanggu," where the Sun rises; the west is called "Mengsi," where the Sun sets. The "Zhuangzi" also says: "In the Northern Sea there is a fish that transforms into a bird, intending to migrate to the Southern Sea." This is also an ancient record that can prove that all four directions are surrounded by water.

四方皆水，謂之四海。凡五行相生，水生於金；是故百川發源，皆自山出，由高趨下，歸注於海。日為陽精，光曜炎熾，一夜入水，所以焦竭。百川歸注，足以相補。故旱不為減，浸不為增。”

All four directions are water, which is called "four seas." According to the principle of mutual generation in the Five Phases, water is generated from metal; thus, all rivers originate from mountains, flowing from high to low, eventually converging into the sea. The Sun is the essence of yang, its light and heat intense. When it sets at night, it sinks into the water, thereby drying up and depleting the sea. However, the continuous flow of rivers replenishes what is lost, so during severe droughts the sea does not decrease, and during prolonged flooding the sea does not increase.

又云：“周天三百六十五度三百四分之七十五。天常西轉一日一夜過周一度。南北二極，相去一百一十六度三百四分度之六十五強，即天徑也。黃道斜帶赤道，春分交於奎七度，秋分交於軫十五度，冬至斗十四度半強，夏至井十六度半弱。從北極抉天而南五十五度強，則居天四維之中最高處也，即天頂也。其下即地中也。”自外與王蕃大同。

He Chengtian also said: The celestial circle is 365 and 75/304 degrees. The sky constantly rotates westward, and in one day and night it rotates an extra degree. The distance between the north and south poles is 116 and 65/304 degrees, slightly more, which is the diameter of the sky. The Yellow Path is inclined with respect to the equator, crossing the equator at seven degrees of the Dipper mansion during the vernal equinox, and at fifteen degrees of the Chariot mansion during the autumnal equinox. The winter solstice is at fourteen and a half degrees of the Dipper mansion, and the summer solstice is at sixteen and a half degrees of the Well mansion. Measuring southward from the north pole through the celestial dome by fifty-five degrees, that is the highest point of the celestial sphere's four dimensions, which is the celestial pole; directly below it is the center of the earth. Other accounts are largely similar to Wang Fan's.

徐爰《宋書》云：“元嘉十三年有詔太史令錢樂之，依舊說鑄渾天銅儀。徑六尺八分，周一丈八尺二寸六分。地在天內，立黃、赤二道、南、北二極，規佈列二十八宿、北斗、極星。五分為一度，置日、月、五星於黃道之上。置立漏刻，以水轉儀，昏明中星，與天相符。

Xu Yuan's "Song Shu" states: In the thirteenth year of Yuanjia, the court issued an edict ordering the Astronomer Royal Qian Yuezi to cast a bronze celestial sphere according to the old methods. Its diameter was six feet eight parts, and its circumference was one zhang eight feet two cun six parts. The earth was placed inside the heaven, with the Yellow Path and the Red Path, as well as the South Pole and North Pole, set up. The twenty-eight constellations, the Big Dipper, and the Pole Star were arranged in circles according to the rules. Each degree was five parts long, and the sun, moon, and five planets were placed on the Yellow Path. Additionally, water clocks were set up to drive the instrument's rotation, so that the stars at the southern mid-heaven at dusk and dawn matched the actual celestial phenomena.

到十七年，又被敕作小渾天。徑二尺二寸，周六尺六寸。二分為一度，二十八宿、中外宮星備具，以白色珠及青黃三色珠為三家星。日、月、五星悉居黃道。”

By the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Qian Lezi again received an imperial order to construct a small armillary sphere. Its diameter was two feet two inches, and its circumference six feet six inches. Each degree was represented by two inches. The twenty-eight constellations, as well as the stars of the central and outer palaces, were all complete. White beads and beads of green, yellow, and other colors were used to represent the stars as defined by Shi Shen, Gan De, and Wu Xian. The sun, moon, and five planets were all placed on the Yellow Path.

梁奉朝請祖暅《渾天論》曰：“自古論天者多矣，而群氏紛紜，互相非毀。竊覽同異，稽之典經。仰觀辰極，傍矚四維。睹日、月之升降，察五星之見狀。校之以儀象，覆之以晷漏。則渾天之理，信而有徵。輒遺眾說附渾儀雲《考靈曜》，先儒求得天地相去十七萬八千五百里，以晷景驗之，失之於過多。既不顯求之術，而虛設其數，蓋誇誕之辭，非聖人之旨也。學者多因其說，而未之革，豈不知尋其理歟？抑未能求其數故也。

In the "Tian Lun" (Treatise on the Heavenly Sphere) of Zhu Geng, a descendant of Liang Dynasty's Feng Chaqing, he said: Since ancient times, many people have discussed the celestial phenomena, but their views differ greatly, and they have criticized and attacked each other. I have personally examined the differences and similarities among various schools, verified them with the classics, observed the North Star and the celestial pole, looked around to see the rising and setting of the sun and moon, examined the appearance and movements of the five planets, checked with instruments and celestial devices, and confirmed with gnomon shadows and water clocks. Thus, the principles of the浑天 theory are indeed credible and verifiable. Therefore, I set aside all other theories and focused solely on the浑仪 (celestial sphere instrument). The谶纬 (prophecies and interpretations) book "Shangshu Kaoliang" (Book of Documents: Examination of the Celestial Signs) and previous scholars calculated the distance between heaven and earth as seventeen thousand eight hundred and fifty li, but when tested with the sun's shadow, this number was found to be excessive. They refused to clearly explain the method used to arrive at this figure, and instead arbitrarily set this number, which is merely an exaggerated and false statement, not the original intention of the sages. Later scholars have mostly followed this claim without correction. Is it because they do not understand the principles behind it? Perhaps it is because they cannot find the correct method to calculate it.

王蕃所考校之前說，不啻減半。雖非揆格所知而求之以理，誠未能遙趣其實，蓋近密乎。輒因王蕃天高數以求冬至、春分日高，及南戴日下去地中數法；令表高八尺與冬至景長一丈三尺各自乘並而開方除之為法，天高乘表高為實，實如法；得四萬二千六百五十八里有奇，即冬至日高也。以天高乘冬至景長為實，實如法；得六萬九千三百二十里有奇，即冬至南戴日下去地中數也。

Wang Fan's calculation of the number is more than half less than previous theories. Although it is not entirely known through measurement and calculation, following the principles to seek the truth, even if it cannot approach the actual situation very closely, it is roughly more accurate. I then used Wang Fan's figure for the height of heaven to calculate the height of the sun at winter solstice and spring equinox, as well as the distance from the place directly under the sun to the center of the earth. The method is: square the height of the gnomon, eight chi, and the length of the shadow at winter solstice, one zhang and three chi, add them together, and take the square root as the divisor. Multiply the height of heaven by the height of the gnomon to get the dividend, then divide the dividend by the divisor, resulting in more than forty-two thousand six hundred and fifty-eight li, which is the height of the sun at winter solstice. Then multiply the height of heaven by the length of the shadow at winter solstice to get the dividend, and divide by the same divisor, resulting in more than sixty-nine thousand three hundred and twenty li, which is the distance from the place directly under the sun to the center of the earth.

求春秋分數法，令表高及春秋分景長五尺三寸九分各自乘，並而開方除之為法；因冬至日高實而以法除之，得六萬七千五百二里有奇，即春秋分日高也。以天高乘春秋分景長實，實如法而一，得四萬五千四百七十九里有奇，即春秋分南戴日下去地中數也。南戴日下，所謂丹穴也。

The method for calculating the distances at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes: square the height of the gnomon and the shadow lengths at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, which are five feet three inches and nine parts respectively, add them together, and take the square root as the divisor. Use the same dividend as when calculating the sun's height at the winter solstice, and divide by this divisor to get 67,502 li and more, which is the height of the sun at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Then multiply the height of heaven by the shadow length at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes as the dividend, and divide by the divisor to get one, resulting in 45,479 li and more, which is the distance from the center of the earth to the place directly beneath the sun at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. The place directly beneath the sun is what the ancient texts refer to as the 'Red Pit'.

推北極裡數法；夜於地中表南傳地遙望北辰細星之末，令與端參合，以人目去表數及表高各自乘，並而開方除之為法，天高乘表高數為實，實如法而一，即北極細星高地數也。天高乘人目去表為實，實如法；即去北辰極下之數也。北戴斗極為空桐，日去赤道表裡二十四度，遠寒近暑而中和。

The method for calculating the distance to the North Star: at night, stand a gnomon in the center of the land and look northward towards the end of the North Star, aligning your line of sight with the top of the gnomon. Square the distance from the person's eye to the gnomon and the height of the gnomon, add them together, and take the square root of the sum as the divisor. Multiply the height of the sky by the height of the gnomon to get the dividend, then divide by the divisor to obtain the height of the North Star above the ground. Next, multiply the height of the sky by the distance from the person's eye to the gnomon to get another dividend, then divide by the same divisor to find the distance to the point directly beneath the North Star. The area directly above the Big Dipper and the North Star is called "Kongtong." The Sun rises and sets 24 degrees north and south of the equator; the farther it is, the colder the climate, the closer it is, the hotter the climate, and when it is in the middle, the climate is temperate.

二分之日，去天頂三十六度，日去地中，冬、夏、春、秋、晨、昏、晝、夜，皆同度也。而有寒暑者，地氣上騰，天氣下降故遠日下而寒，近日下而寒，非有遠近也。猶火居上，雖遠而炎；在旁，雖近而微。視日，在旁而大，居上而小者，仰矚為難，平視為易也。由視有夷險，非遠近之效也。今懸殊於百仞之上，或置之於百仞之前，從而觀之，則大小殊矣。先儒弗斯取驗取給，用繁翰墨，夷途頓轡，雄辭折辯，不亦迂哉。

On the day of the two equinoxes, the Sun is thirty-six degrees away from the zenith. The distance of the Sun from the center of the earth remains the same whether it is winter, summer, spring, or autumn, whether it is morning, evening, day, or night. Yet there are still cold and heat, which is due to the rising of the earth's qi and the descending of the heavenly qi: places farther from the Sun's direct overhead position are colder, while those closer are hotter (the original text has 'cold' here, but it should be 'heat'). It is not because the Sun itself is farther or closer. For example, a fire above one's head, though far away, still feels hot; a fire beside one, though near, seems weak. Looking at the Sun, when it is near the horizon, it appears larger, but when it is overhead, it seems smaller. This is because looking upward is more difficult, while looking level is easier, and it is the ease or difficulty of viewing that causes this, not the actual distance. Now, if an object is hung high up a hundred feet or placed a hundred feet ahead, when you walk past it, its size appears different. Previous scholars did not verify this by observing the actual situation or seek a simple explanation, but instead spent much ink arguing over this by stopping their horses on flat ground and using eloquent words to debate. Is this not too narrow-minded?

今大寒在冬至後二氣者，寒積而未消也。大暑在夏至後二氣者，暑積而未歇也。寒暑均和乃在春秋分後二氣者，寒暑積而未平也。譬之火始下室，而未甚溫，弗事加薪，久而愈熾，既已遷之，猶有餘熱也。月行有中道，有陰道，有陽道。

Now, the Great Cold comes two solar terms after the Winter Solstice, which is when the cold has accumulated but has not yet dissipated; the Great Heat comes two solar terms after the Summer Solstice, which is when the heat has accumulated but has not yet ceased; when the cold and heat are balanced and harmonious, coming two solar terms after the Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, it is when the cold and heat have accumulated but have not yet been balanced. This is like a fire just lit in a room, which is not yet warm. If the fire is kept burning and more fuel is added, the longer the time, the hotter it becomes. When the fire is moved away, the room still retains the residual heat. The moon's movement has a middle path, a yin path, and a yang path.

如姜岌說《周髀》云：‘日徑千二百五十里。’蓋天乖謬，已詳前識，無足採焉。以渾象言之，失於過大矣。張衡日、月其徑，當周天七百三十六分之一，地廣二百四十二分之一。按此而論，天周分數圓周率也。廣分數圓徑率也。以八約之，得周率九十二，徑率二十九；其率傷於周多徑少，衡之疏也。

As for Jiang Ji's citation of the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" stating that the diameter of the Sun is 1,250 li, the errors in the theory of a dome-shaped sky have already been clearly analyzed and are not worth adopting; in terms of the浑象 (celestial sphere model), this number is excessively large. Zhang Heng claimed that the diameter of the Sun and Moon should be one seven hundred thirty-sixth of the entire celestial circle and one two hundred forty-second of the Earth's breadth. According to this, the fraction of the celestial circle corresponds to the value of pi, and the fraction of the Earth's breadth corresponds to the ratio of the diameter to the circumference. Simplifying this by dividing by eight, we get a pi value of ninety-two and a diameter-to-circumference ratio of twenty-nine. The problem with this ratio lies in the fact that the circumference is too large and the diameter too small, which is a mistake in Zhang Heng's calculation.

衡以日月之徑居一度之半，又言八極之維徑二億三萬二千三百里。既非考定日月徑又不明其理，飾辭華說，不足窮= 者也。望日月法，立於地中，以人目屬徑寸之管而望日月，令日月大滿管孔；及定管長，以管徑乘天高，管長除之，即日月徑也。

Zhang Heng thought that the diameter of the sun and moon occupied half a degree, and he also said that the diameter of the eight extremes and four directions was two hundred and thirty-two thousand three hundred li. He neither determined the actual diameter of the sun and moon nor explained the reasoning clearly, but only adorned it with ornate language, which was insufficient to thoroughly investigate the principles. The method of measuring the sun and moon is: stand in the center of the earth, press your eye against a tube with an inner diameter of one inch to look at the sun and moon, making sure the sun and moon exactly fill the tube's hole; then measure the length of the tube, multiply the tube's diameter by the height of the sky, and divide by the tube's length, the result will be the diameter of the sun and moon.

月，陰精也。其形圓，其質稟日之光而見。其體日光不照則謂之魄。故月望之日，日月相望，人居其間，盡觀其質，故形圓也。二絃之日，日照其側，人觀其旁，故半魄半明也。晦逆之日，月照其表，人在其裡，故形不見。舊說日月半魄半明也。晦朔之日，月照其表，人在其裡，故形不見。舊說日月行九道，斯蓋未究月行之變，而假為其說。

The moon is the essence of darkness, with a round shape. Its body can only be seen when illuminated by the sun. The part that is not illuminated by the sun is called 「魄」. On the full moon day, the sun and moon are opposite each other, and people are in the middle, seeing the fully illuminated side, hence the shape appears round. On the days of the new and last quarters, the sun shines on the side of the moon, and people view it from the side, hence it appears half-illuminated. On the days of the new moon and the last moon, the illuminated side of the moon faces away from people, and people are on the dark side of the moon, hence the moon's shape is not visible. (The text from 「旧说日月半魄半明也」 onwards is repeated, and is recorded as is.) The old saying mentions that the sun and moon travel along nine paths, but this is a fabricated explanation without investigating the actual changes in the moon's movement.

謹按：著作郎張東對三道九行曰：‘按《漢天文志》：日有三道，月有九行者，謂日、月行黃道，為得其正，或行黃道外，或行黃道內，內、外及正行，因名三道。故曰：房有四表三道。日、月經房星南門即為旱，經房星北門即為水。日有三道者，但內外差及正行之道也。

Carefully examined: The official Zhang Dong, in response to a question about the 'three paths and nine lines', said: According to the 'Astronomical Records' of the 'Book of Han', the sun has three paths and the moon has nine lines. This refers to the sun and moon moving along the Yellow Path being considered proper. Sometimes they move outside the Yellow Path, sometimes inside. Adding the inner, outer, and the central path, it is called three paths. Therefore, the Room Mansion has four gates and three paths: if the sun and moon pass through the southern gate of the Room Mansion, it indicates drought; if they pass through the northern gate, it indicates flooding. The saying that the sun has three paths merely refers to the deviation inside and outside the Yellow Path plus the central path.

月有九行，謂青道二，出於黃道東；赤道二，出於黃道南；白道二，出在黃道西；黑道二，出於黃道東；赤道二，出於黃道南；白道二，出在黃道西；黑道二，出在黃道北。故鄭玄注《月令》，立春、春分，日行青道，月為之佐；立夏、夏至，日行赤道，月為之佐；立秋、秋分，日行白道，月為之佐；立冬、冬至，日行黑道，月為之佐。

The moon has nine paths. This refers to two paths of the blue path emerging to the east of the Yellow Path, two paths of the red path emerging to the south of the Yellow Path, two paths of the white path emerging to the west of the Yellow Path, and two paths of the black path emerging to the north of the Yellow Path (the original text from "the black path two, emerging to the east of the Yellow Path" downwards is repeated and contains errors, and is recorded as is). Therefore, Zheng Xuan commented in his annotation of the "Book of Rites · Monthly Orders" that during the beginning of spring and the vernal equinox, the sun travels along the blue path, and the moon assists it; during the beginning of summer and the summer solstice, the sun travels along the red path, and the moon assists it; during the beginning of autumn and the autumn equinox, the sun travels along the white path, and the moon assists it; during the beginning of winter and the winter solstice, the sun travels along the black path, and the moon assists it.

故月之九行，非為黃道外別有九道，交橫綿絡，貫於躔舍，但為日月，既為動物，不能不小有盈縮，或行黃道內外。又按：日、月以立春合宿在營室，即北方之星，色當言黑。春分合宿在奎，奎為西方之宿，色當言白。而鄭云：立春、春風，日行青道者，考以歲起於春，春在東方，東方色青，故起青號。

Therefore, the nine paths of the moon are not nine separate roads outside the Yellow Path that cross and connect through the constellations passed by the sun and moon; rather, it is because both the sun and moon are moving bodies, and they naturally have slight variations in their movement, sometimes passing within the Yellow Path and sometimes outside of it. Also, according to the text, the sun and moon meet at the Encampment mansion at the Beginning of Spring, and Encampment is a northern star, which by nature should be black. At the Vernal Equinox, they meet at the Legs mansion, which is a western mansion, and by nature should be white. However, Zheng Xuan said that at the Beginning of Spring and the Vernal Equinox, the sun travels along the blue path, taking into account that the year begins in spring, and spring is in the east, where the color is blue, so he used the term blue to name it.

南、西及北，三方準此方，故日、月共有三道，實無九行。但以因八節之差，順四時之色，曲為九名，故月行言九；直舉其實，故日道稱三；三道九行，其義一也。則夫日之三道，躔於二十八宿，月之九行，經於八節也。

The southern, western, and northern directions are also compared in this way, so the sun and moon actually have only three paths, not nine lines. It is only because they change with the eight solar terms that there is a difference, following the colors of the four seasons, and thus nine names are established indirectly. Therefore, it is said that the moon has nine paths. When speaking directly about its actual situation, it is said that the sun's path is three. The three paths and nine lines are essentially the same thing. Thus, the three paths of the sun are among the twenty-eight mansions, while the nine paths of the moon are distributed among the eight solar terms.

染武帝支：‘自故以來，談天者多矣，皆是不識天象，各隨意造；家執所說，人著異見，非直毫釐之差，蓋實千里之謬。戴盆而望，安能見天，譬猶宅蝸牛之角，而欲論天之廣狹；懷蚌螺之南寧，而欲測海之多少；此可謂不知量矣。

Liang Wu Di said (the original text's four characters 'Ran Wu Di Zhi' are a mistake for 'Liang Wu Di Yun'): Since ancient times, many have talked about the heavens, but they all did not understand the heavenly phenomena and merely fabricated their own interpretations; each family clung to their own views, and everyone established different opinions, which is not just a slight error, but actually a great mistake. Trying to look at the sky with a pot on one's head, how can one see the sky? It is like living in the shell of a snail and yet trying to discuss the breadth and narrowness of the sky, or holding a clam shell or a ladle and yet trying to measure the volume of the sea. This can be called an act of self-overestimation.

《繫辭》云：“易有太極，是生兩儀。’元氣已分，天地設位。清浮升乎上，沈濁居乎下。陰陽以之而變化，寒暑用此而相推。辨尊卑貴賤之道，正內外男女之位。在天成象，三辰顯曜；在地成形，五雲布澤。斯昏明於晝夜，榮落於春秋。大聖之所經綸，以合三才之道；

The Zhou Changes (I Ching) Great Treatise says: "The Book of Changes contains the Taiji, and the Taiji gives rise to the two principles." After the primordial qi was divided, heaven and earth each took their proper positions: the light and light-hearted rose upward, while the heavy and turbid sank downward. Thus yin and yang changed, cold and heat alternated; the principles of respect and humility, nobility and lowliness were established, and the positions of inside and outside, male and female were properly ordered. In the heavens, forms were condensed into images, and the sun, moon, and stars shone brightly. On the earth, forms were condensed into bodies, and the five-colored clouds spread their blessings. Thus day and night had light and darkness, and spring and autumn had prosperity and decay. All these were governed and arranged by the great sages, in accordance with the principles of heaven, earth, and humanity.

清浮之氣，升而為天，天以妙氣為妙氣之體，廣遠為量。彌覆無所不周，運行來住不息。一晝一夜，圓轉一周。張覆之廣，莫能際其邊際。運行之妙，無有見其始終。不可以度數而知，不可以形象而譬。此天之大體也。沈濁之氣，下凝為地。地以土水為質，廣厚為體，邊際遠近，亦不可知。質常安伏，寂然不動。山嶽水海，育載萬物，此地之大體也。

Clear and light qi rises to form heaven. Heaven takes refined and subtle qi as its body, and has vastness as its measure. It spreads widely and covers everything, never ceasing in its movement and circulation, completing a full cycle in one day and night. It spreads its vast coverage, and no one can measure its boundaries; its subtle movement is unseen from beginning to end. It cannot be measured by numbers or compared by form: this is the great nature of heaven. Turbid and heavy qi descends and condenses to form earth. Earth takes earth and water as its substance, and has thickness and breadth as its form. Its boundaries, whether far or near, are unknown; its substance is stable and constant, still and unmoving, nurturing and supporting all things through mountains, rivers, and seas: this is the great nature of earth.

天地之間，別有升降之氣，資始資生，以成萬物。《易》曰：‘大哉乾元，萬物資始；大載坤元，萬物資生。’資始之氣，能始萬物，一動一靜。或此乃天之別用，非即地之形體。資生之氣，能生萬物，一翕一闢，或此亦地之別用非即地之形體。

Between heaven and earth, there exists another kind of rising and falling energy. On one hand, it supports the beginning of all things, and on the other hand, it supports the growth of all things, thus achieving the completion of all things. The Zhou Changes say: "Great is the Qian Origin, by which all things begin; vast is the Kun Origin, by which all things grow." The energy that supports the beginning can initiate all things; with one movement and one stillness, perhaps this is another function of heaven, not the physical body of heaven itself. The energy that supports growth can foster all things; with one union and one separation, perhaps this is another function of earth, not the physical body of earth itself.

四大海之外，有金剛山，一名鐵圍山。金剛山北，又有黑山。日月循山而轉周廻四面，一晝一夜，圍繞環匝。於南則現，在北則隱，冬則陽降而下，夏則陽升而高。高則日長，下則日短。寒暑昏明，皆由此作。夏則陽升，故日高而出山之道遠。冬則陽降，故日下而出山之道促。出山遠則日長，出山促則日短。二分則合高下之中，故半隱半見，所以晝夜均等，無有所短。

Beyond the four great seas, there is a mountain called Jin Gang Shan, also known as Tie Wei Shan. To the north of Jin Gang Shan is another mountain called He Shan. The sun and moon revolve around the mountains, circling the four sides, completing one circuit in a day and night. When they reach the south, they appear; when they reach the north, they disappear. In winter, yang energy descends and its position is lower; in summer, yang energy ascends and its position is higher. When the position is higher, the day is longer; when the position is lower, the day is shorter. Cold and heat, darkness and brightness are all generated from this. In summer, yang energy ascends, so the sun is high and the path it travels around the mountain is long; in winter, yang energy descends, so the sun is low and the path it travels around the mountain is short. A long path around the mountain means a long day, and a short path means a short day. On the days of the two equinoxes, the sun is exactly in the middle of high and low positions, so the mountain is half visible and half hidden, resulting in equal day and night, with neither side being shorter.

日照於南，故南方之氣燠。日隱在北，故北方之氣寒。南方所以常溫者，冬月日近南而下，故雖冬而猶溫。夏則日近北而高，故雖夏猶不熱。北方所以以常寒者，日行繞黑山之南，日光常自不照，積陰所聚，熏氣遠及，無冬無夏，所以常寒。故北風則寒，南風則暖。一歲之中，則日夏升而冬降；一日一夜，則晝見而夜隱。

The Sun shines to the south, so the southern climate is warm; the Sun hides to the north, so the northern climate is cold. The southern region remains warm throughout the year because during winter the Sun is positioned to the south and lower, so even in winter it remains warm; in summer the Sun is positioned to the north and higher, so even in summer it is not excessively hot. The northern region remains cold throughout the year because the Sun circles south of the Black Mountain, and sunlight never reaches there. Accumulated Yin energy gathers, and cold air spreads far and wide, so whether in winter or summer, it remains cold. Therefore, when northern winds arise, it becomes cold, and when southern winds arise, it becomes warm. Throughout the year, the Sun rises higher in summer and lowers in winter; within a day and night, the Sun appears during the day and disappears at night.

黑山之峰正當北極之南，故夏日雖高，而不能不至寅而現，又至戌而隱。春秋分則居高下中，朝至金剛山之外，雖與山平，而去山猶遠，故為金剛所障，日未能出，須至卯然後乃現；西方亦復如是。冬則轉下。所隱亦多，朝至於辰則出金剛之上，夕至於申則入金剛之下，金剛四面略齊，黑山在北；當北彌峻，東西連峰，近前轉下，所以日在北而隱，在南而現。

The peak of Black Mountain is directly south of the North Pole, so although the summer sun is high, it still appears at the hour of Yin and disappears at the hour of Xu. At the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, the sun is in the middle of its height, and in the morning it moves beyond the peak of the Jade Emperor Mountain. Although it has reached the same level as the mountain, it is still far away, so it is blocked by the Jade Emperor Mountain and cannot appear until the hour of Mao. The same situation occurs when the sun sets in the west. In winter, the sun is lower, and the part that is blocked is greater. In the morning, it rises above the Jade Emperor Mountain at the hour of Chen, and in the evening, it disappears below the Jade Emperor Mountain at the hour of Shen. The Jade Emperor Mountain is roughly level on all sides, with Black Mountain to the north, which becomes higher and more rugged as it goes north. The eastern and western sides have connected peaks, which gradually become lower as they approach the front. Therefore, when the sun moves north, it disappears, and when it moves south, it appears.

夫人目所望，至遠則極，二山雖有高下，皆不能見。三辰之體，理繫陰陽，或升或降，隨時而動。至於天氣清妙，無所不周，雖自運動無間，日月星辰遲疾各異，晷度多少不繫乎天。金剛自近天之南，黑山則近天之北極，雖於金剛為偏，而南北為一。

What the human eye can see has a limit, and even the two mountains, though of different heights, are beyond sight. The forms of the sun, moon, and stars belong to the principles of yin and yang, rising and setting, moving with the time. As for the clear and subtle nature of the sky, it pervades everywhere. Although the body is constantly moving, the sun, moon, and stars each have their own varying speeds, and the length of shadows and degrees do not depend on the sky. The Diamond Mountain is originally near the southern side of the sky, while the Black Mountain is near the northern pole of the sky; although it is偏 on one side relative to the Diamond Mountain, in terms of the continuous line of north and south, they are on the same line.

制旨解釋云：‘金剛山自近天之南，黑山則近天之北極，準於金剛為偏，而於南北為一。令上林館學士虞劇穎，上林館倪徽仁、劉文道等，算其度數，開列於後。’臣履等謹奉依敕旨推按曆法表景知長短之差，日行南北之道；旁考經紀，近較目前，莫不事事符合，昭然可見。謹略條度數如左：

The explanation from "Zhi Zhi" says: The Diamond Mountain is originally close to the southern side of the sky, while the Black Mountain is near the northern pole of the sky; compared to the Diamond Mountain, it is considered biased, but in terms of the north-south direction, it is consistent. They ordered the scholars at the Shanglin Academy, Yu Juying, Ni Weiren, and Liu Wenda, to calculate its measurements and list them afterwards. The officials Yu Lü and others respectfully followed the imperial decree, examined the calendar, and used the gnomon's shadow to determine the variation in the length of the sun's shadow and the path of the sun's movement north and south; they also referred to classical texts and compared them with current observations, and everything matched perfectly, clearly evident. They carefully listed the measurements in a concise manner as follows:

日道圓周三百六十五度，分為十二辰，辰三十度半。春秋分出卯入酉，冬至則出辰入申，夏至則出寅入戌，春秋分出卯中左右十五度，冬至日出卯南，去卯中二十四度，則是侵辰九度。夏至日出卯北，去卯中亦二十四度，則是侵寅九度。春分日入酉，左右亦各十五度。冬至日入酉南，去酉中二十四度，是侵申九度。夏至日入酉北，去酉中亦二十四度，是侵戌九度。

The path of the Star of brightness and prestige covers a circle of 365 degrees, divided into twelve branches, each covering 30.5 degrees. At the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, the Star of brightness and prestige rises at the Mao position and sets at the You position. At the winter solstice, it rises at the Chen position and sets at the Shen position. At the summer solstice, it rises at the Yin position and sets at the Xu position. At the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, the Star of brightness and prestige rises exactly in the middle of the Mao position, within fifteen degrees to the left and right. At the winter solstice, the Star of brightness and prestige rises twenty-four degrees south of the Mao position, thus intruding nine degrees into the Chen position. At the summer solstice, the Star of brightness and prestige rises twenty-four degrees north of the Mao position, thus intruding nine degrees into the Yin position. At the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, the Star of brightness and prestige sets exactly in the middle of the You position, within fifteen degrees to the left and right. At the winter solstice, the Star of brightness and prestige sets twenty-four degrees south of the You position, thus intruding nine degrees into the Shen position. At the summer solstice, the Star of brightness and prestige sets twenty-four degrees north of the You position, thus intruding nine degrees into the Xu position.

北極璇璣玉衡，上當天之北五十五度，北去黑山頂三十六度。夏至日在天南十二度。春秋分日在天南三十六度。冬至日中，日在天南五十度。冬至日中，日去金剛南三十度。梁武說云：‘四大海，外有金剛山，一名鐵圍山，山北又有黑山。虞履等又以璇璣玉衡在人之北五十五度，北去黑山三十六度。或曰：瞻星望月，蓋不及渾；度景量天，渾不及蓋。竊較醚之笠之，末盡天體之頤；而候之測之，才窮推出之妙。”

The North Celestial Pole, specifically the Xuan Ji Yu Heng, is positioned directly northward at an angle of fifty-five degrees from the heavens, and is thirty-six degrees north of the Black Mountain peak. On the summer solstice, the Sun is twelve degrees south of the heavens; on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, it is thirty-six degrees south; and on the winter solstice, it is fifty degrees south. On the winter solstice at noon, the Sun is thirty degrees south of the southern side of the Jade Diamond Mountain. Liang Wu Di said: beyond the four great seas lies the Jade Diamond Mountain, also known as the Iron Encircling Mountain. To the north of this mountain is the Black Mountain. Yu Lu and others believed that the Xuan Ji Yu Heng is fifty-five degrees north of the human realm and thirty-six degrees north of the Black Mountain. Some people said: observing stars and the moon, the method of the Covering Heaven is inferior to the method of the Round Heaven; measuring shadows to determine the heavens, the method of the Round Heaven is inferior to the method of the Covering Heaven. (The original text of the last sentence has errors.) In essence, it means that using the hat-like shape of the Covering Heaven to measure the heavens can never fully comprehend the profound mysteries of the celestial bodies; while observation and calculation can only exhaust the skillful methods of prediction and calculation.

梁人朱史《定天論》：“日一千六百七十里，周天六十萬二百三十一里，徑率求之，得十九萬四千一百六十四里，即天東西南北相去之數也。求之得九萬七千八百里，即春、秋分日天去地之數也。夏至日天去地上八萬一千三百九十四里，冬至之日為天去地上十萬六千二十里也。”

Liang dynasty scholar Zhu Shi in his work "Ding Tian Lun" said: The diameter of the Sun is 1,670 li; the circumference of the sky is 600,231 li. Using the diameter ratio to calculate, it results in 194,164 li, which is the distance between the eastern and western ends of the sky. Further calculation gives 97,800 li, which is the distance between the sky and the earth at the time of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. At the summer solstice, the distance between the sky and the earth is 81,394 li, and at the winter solstice, it is 106,020 li.

隋掖縣丞劉焯《渾天論》曰：“璇璣玉衡，正天之呂。帝王欽若，世傳其象。漢之孝武，詳考律曆，則落下閎，鮮于妄人共所營定。逮於張衡，又尋述作。亦體制不異閎等。雖閎制莫存，而衡造有器。至吳世陸績、王蕃，並更修鑄，績小有異，蕃乃事同。宋有錢樂之，魏初晁崇等，總用銅鐵，小大有殊，規域經模，不異蕃造。

In the "Hol Tian Lun" (On the Sphere), Liu Zhuo, county magistrate of Ye County during the Sui Dynasty, said: The Xuan Ji Yu Heng is the standard for correcting celestial phenomena, and all successive emperors have respectfully followed it, with its form passed down through the generations. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty carefully examined the pitch-pipes and calendar systems, and had Luo Haoming and Xian Yu Wangren jointly construct and determine them; later, Zhang Heng further elaborated and wrote about them, and the system he established was not significantly different from that of Luo Haoming and others. Although the instruments made by Luo Haoming no longer exist, those made by Zhang Heng still remain as physical objects. During the Wu Kingdom period, Lu Ji and Wang Fen both re-constructed and cast new ones: Lu Ji's version had slight differences, while Wang Fen's was largely the same. During the Liu Song Dynasty, Qian Yuezi, and in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, Chao Chong and others, all used bronze and iron to cast them. Although their sizes varied, the circular framework and overall structure were essentially the same as those made by Wang Fen.

觀蔡氏《月令章句》，鄭玄注《考靈曜》勢同衡法，迄今不改。焯以愚管，留情推測，見其數制，莫不違爽；失之千里，差在毫釐，大象一乖，餘何可驗。況赤黃均度，月無出入，分至所恆，定氣不別。衡分刻本差，輪!守故，其為疏謬，不可復言。

Now looking at Cai Yong's "Monthly Orders and Comments" and Zheng Xuan's annotations on "The Book of Documents: Examination of the Celestial Phenomena," their approaches are the same as Zhang Heng's methods, and have not changed until today. I, Liu Zhuo, with my limited perspective, have carefully considered and discovered that the data and systems of these instruments are all incorrect and unrealistic. A small error in measurement leads to a great deviation; once the overall pattern of celestial phenomena is wrong, what else can be verified? Moreover, both the equator and the Yellow Path are divided into degrees, and the moon is said to have no movement in and out, while the two solstices and two equinoxes are fixed and unchanging, without distinguishing the fixed points of the seasons. The divisions of the Zuben (the pointer of the armillary sphere) originally had errors, and the rings still follow the old pattern (the original text here contains an error), its omissions and mistakes are really beyond description.

亦既由理不明，致使眾家問出，蓋及宣夜，三說並驅，平昕安穹，四天騰沸。至當不二，理惟一揆，豈容天體七種殊說，又漏景去極，就渾可推，百骸共體，本非異物。此真已驗，彼偽自彰。豈朗日未輝而爝火不息；理有而闕，詎不可悲者也。

Precisely because the principles of celestial phenomena are difficult to explain clearly, various schools have emerged to offer their own theories: the Covering Heaven, the Expanse Heaven, and the Interwoven Heaven schools have all competed with each other, and there are also four other schools, the Level Heaven, the Dawn Heaven, the Secure Heaven, and the Dome Heaven, all clamoring together. There is only one proper principle in the universe, and there should be only one standard for measurement. How can there be seven conflicting theories about celestial phenomena? Moreover, methods such as using water clocks to measure time and using shadows to determine the altitude of the North Pole can all be calculated according to the model of the Interwoven Heaven theory. Just as a person's limbs all belong to the same body, celestial phenomena and calculations are inherently not two separate things. Since the Interwoven Heaven theory has already been verified as true by actual observations, the false claims of the other schools naturally become evident. How could there be a case where the bright sun has already risen, yet a small oil lamp still refuses to be extinguished? The correct principle is clearly there yet is ignored, is that not a cause for sorrow?

昔蔡伯喈自朔方上書曰：以八尺之儀，度知天地之象。古有器而無其書，常欲寢伏儀下，案度在數，而為立說。伯喈以負罪朔方，書奏不許。伯喈若蒙許，亦必不能。伯喈才不逾張衡，衡本豈有遺思也。則有器無書，觀不能悟。焯今立術，改正舊渾，又以二至之景，定去極晷漏，並天地高遠。星辰運周，所宗有本，皆有其率，祛今賢之巨惑，稽往哲之群疑。豁若雲披，朗如霧散。為之錯綜，數卷已成。待得景左，謹更啟送。

At that time, Cai Yong, who was given the courtesy name Boyue, submitted a memorial to the court from his place of exile in Shuofang, saying: With a single armillary sphere of eight chi in height, one can determine the shape of heaven and earth; since ancient times, there have only been instruments but no explanatory writings about them. He wished to stay day and night beneath the armillary sphere, following the markings and based on actual measurements, to compose a system of theory for it. However, Cai Yong was then in exile for a crime, and his memorial was not approved by the court. In fact, even if it had been approved, he might not have been able to complete it — Cai Yong's abilities did not surpass Zhang Heng's. Could Zhang Heng have left all the thoughts unconsidered? This shows that having only instruments without explanatory writings, one cannot by mere observation grasp the principles. Now I, Liu Zhuo, have established a new system of calculation, correcting the old methods of the armillary sphere. I have also measured the degree of the North Pole above the horizon, the length of day and night, and the distances and heights between heaven and earth, based on the shadows at the winter solstice and summer solstice. The regular patterns of the movement of the stars can all be traced back to their origins and provide corresponding constants of motion, sufficient to resolve the great doubts of contemporary scholars and settle the various conjectures left by ancient sages. It is like dispelling clouds to see the sun or clearing mist to reveal the sky, making things suddenly clear. I have already compiled and organized these contents into several volumes; once the actual measurements of the shadows are obtained, I will respectfully present them.

又云：周官夏至日景，尺有五寸。張衡、鄭玄、王蕃、陸績先儒等，皆以為景千里差一寸，言南戴日下，萬五千里。表景正同，天高乃異。考之算法，必為不可。寸差千里，亦無典據。明為意斷，事不可依。今交愛之州，表北無景，計無萬里，南過戴日。是千里一寸，非其實差。焯今說渾，以道為率。道里既定，得差乃審。既大聖之年，昇平之日，釐改群謬，斯正其時。請一水工，並解算術士，取河南北平地之所，可時數百里。南北使正，審時以漏，平地以繩。隨氣至分，同日度景。得其差率，裡即可知。則天地無所匿其形，辰象無所逃其數。超前顯聖，效象除疑，請勿以人廢言不用。”

Liu Zhuo also said: The "Rites of Zhou" records that on the day of Summer Solstice, the shadow of a gnomon is one foot five inches long. Zhang Heng, Zheng Xuan, Wang Fan, and Lu Ji, these previous scholars, all believed that for every thousand li of distance north and south, the shadow differs by one inch. Based on this, they concluded that the place directly facing the Sun is fifteen thousand li to the south. However, if the shadows at different places are exactly the same, then the calculated height of the heavens would vary accordingly. When checked with calculations, this claim is definitely untenable. The idea of "a difference of one inch for every thousand li" has no basis in the classics, and clearly comes from subjective assumptions, and cannot be used as a standard. Now in the areas of Jiaozhou and Aizhou, the north side of an eight-foot gnomon shows no shadow at all. Calculating the distance from the Central Plains, it is not even ten thousand li, yet its position has already passed the place directly facing the Sun. This shows that "a difference of one inch for every thousand li" is not an accurate measure. I, Liu Zhuo, explain the theory of the浑天 (spherical heavens), using actual measured distances as the standard: once the distance is measured, the difference in shadows can be accurately determined. Now, during the time of a sage ruler and a peaceful world, it is the best time to correct these long-standing errors. Please send a skilled craftsman who is expert in level measurement, and a person who understands arithmetic, to select a flat area along the Yellow River, measure a section of several hundred li in length, correct the north-south direction to be perfectly straight, use water clocks to accurately determine the time, use a measuring rope to level the ground, and on the day of the solstices or the equinoxes, measure the shadows at the same time at both the northern and southern locations. By determining the rate of difference, we can calculate how much one li corresponds to in shadow length. In this way, the shape of heaven and earth will no longer be hidden, and the stars will no longer be able to escape the calculations. This is a method surpassing previous ones, clarifying the virtue of the sage, and eliminating doubts through actual observation of the heavens. Please do not discard this statement just because of my personal opinion.

按劉焯《皇極曆》云：“凡日食，由月行黃道，體所映蔽大，較正交正如累璧，漸減則有差，在內食分多，在外無損，雖外全而月下，內損而更高。交淺則間遙，交渾則相博。或由近而不掩，因遙而蔽多，所觀之地又偏，所食之時又別。月居外道，此不見虧，月外之人，反以為食。交分正等，因在南方，冬損則多，夏虧乃少。假均冬夏，早晚又殊。處南北體則高，居東西傍而下。視有邪正，理不可一。且古史所說，本有紛互，今故推其梗概，求者知其指歸。

The editor's note cites Liu Zhuo's "Huangji Li" saying: "Whenever there is an eclipse of the sun, it is because the moon travels along the Yellow Path, and the amount of the moon covering the sun's surface varies. When the moon is exactly at the intersection point, it is like two jade disks stacked together. As the intersection point gradually moves away, the coverage differs: if the moon is inside the Yellow Path, the eclipse is more pronounced; if it is outside, the sun's surface is not affected. Although when the moon is outside, the sun's surface remains intact, the moon's position is lower; when it is inside, the sun's surface is obscured, but the moon's position is higher. If the intersection points are shallow, the sun and moon appear distant; if they are close, they seem near and in conflict. Sometimes because they are close, the moon cannot fully cover the sun; sometimes because they are far apart, the moon can cover more. Moreover, the location of observation differs east or west, so the time of the eclipse varies. When the moon is on the outer side of the Yellow Path, people here cannot see the eclipse, but people elsewhere can. Even if the eclipse proportions are the same, when the sun is in the southern sky, the eclipse is more severe in winter and less in summer. Assuming the conditions of winter and summer are the same, the eclipse observed in the morning or evening is different: when the sun is in the south or north, its position is higher; when it is in the east or west, it is near the horizon and lower. Vision is either slanting or straight, so the principle cannot be generalized. Moreover, ancient records are inconsistent, so now we merely provide a general idea, allowing those who study it to understand the general trend."

苟地非於陽城，皆隨所而漸異。然月食以月行虛道，暗氣所沖，日有暗氣，天有虛道，正黃道常與日對，如鏡居日下，魄曜見陰，名曰暗虛，月則食。故張衡稱：當月月食，當星星亡。雖夜半之辰，子午相對，正隔於地，值虛即虧。既月兆日光，當午更曜，時亦隔地，無廢稟明。諒以天光神秘，應感玄通。比陸績於愚凡，意天彰於靈曜。正當夜半，何害虧稟。月由虛道，表裡俱食。日之與月，體同勢等。較其食分，月盡為多。容或形差，微增虧數。疏而不漏，納要克舉。

As long as the observation location is not at Yangcheng, the phenomena seen from different places will gradually differ according to location. Regarding lunar eclipses, they occur when the moon travels along the "Xu Dao" and is attacked by dark energy: the sun has dark energy, and there is a Xu Dao in the sky, which is directly opposite the Yellow Path. It is like a mirror placed under the sun, and the moon's brightness becomes shadowed here, which is called "dark Xu." When the moon enters this area, a lunar eclipse occurs. Therefore, Zhang Heng said: if the opposite is the moon, the moon will be eclipsed; if the opposite is a star, the star will disappear. Even at midnight, when the Zi position and the Wu position are directly opposite, with the earth clearly in between, the moon will still be eclipsed if it encounters the dark Xu. Since the moon shines by receiving sunlight, it should be brighter at the Wu position, yet it is not hindered from receiving light even though the earth is in between. It seems that the heavenly light is mysterious and profound, with subtle correspondences that connect deeply. Liu Chuo compared Lu Ji to an ignorant and mediocre person, meaning that the will of heaven is clearly manifested above the sun, moon, and stars. At midnight, how could it affect the moon's eclipse or its reception of light? When the moon passes through the Xu Dao, both the sun and moon will be eclipsed. The sun and moon have similar forms and equal conditions, so comparing the extent of their eclipses, the moon is more often completely eclipsed. Perhaps this is because their shapes are slightly different, which slightly increases the amount of eclipse. This theory is rough but not entirely lacking, and if one grasps the main point, it can be applied.

議曰：月隔奩匣，鏡不生菱，地隔高天，月寧含景。竊稽諸典，比陸績於愚凡，意天彰於錄曜者，殆以虛而喻實，亦理所絕，無必求知也。凡事可依，必須取論無滯。或以當夜半，何害虧稟。日輪所照，日光所臨，何關大地。近驗應符，乃華言之飾辨，非忘私之至公。弱於德，強於辨，為後人通弊，信乎其然矣。”

Commentators say: A mirror placed behind a makeup box cannot reflect the image of a rhombus flower; likewise, the earth lying between the sky and the moon, how can the moon possibly bear the light of the sun? Upon private examination of various classical texts, Liu Zhao compared Lu Ji to a foolish and mediocre person, saying that heavenly will is clearly manifested in the sun, moon, and stars. This is probably using abstract comparisons to explain concrete truths, which already fails to make sense, and there is no need to insist on understanding it. Any principle that can be used as a basis for argument must be clear and unimpeded. He also said that during the middle of the night, there is no harm in being in a state of deficiency and receiving light. But how can the range of the sun's illumination and the areas it reaches have any relation to the earth that lies between the sky and the moon? As for the claim that recent verification matches perfectly, this is merely superficial rhetoric, not an impartial and unbiased argument. Weakness in virtue yet striving for eloquence in debate is a common flaw among later scholars, and this seems indeed to be the case.

夫言天體者，蓋非一家也。世之所覆傳有渾天，有蓋天。說渾天者，言渾然而圓，地在其中；蓋天者，言天形如車蓋，地形如覆槃。皆中高外下，二曜推移，五星迭觀，見伏昏明，皆由遠近運移，麗天不入於地。日之將沒，去人彌遠，明衰光滅，故暗其明。及其將出，去人彌近，光明炎熾，故顯其照。揚雄以為渾天得之，難蓋天曰：“於高山之上，設水平以望日，則日出水平下，若天體常高，地體常卑，日無出下之理。”於是蓋天無以對也。

Discussions about the structure of celestial bodies are not confined to a single school of thought. The main theories passed down through history are the Heavenly Sphere Theory and the Covering Heaven Theory. Advocates of the Heavenly Sphere Theory argue that the heavens form a single, spherical body, with the earth suspended at its center. Proponents of the Covering Heaven Theory claim that the heavens resemble the canopy of a carriage, while the earth is like an inverted wooden plate. Both schools agree that the center of heaven and earth is high and the surroundings are low, with the sun and moon, the two great luminous bodies, moving across the sky, and the five wandering stars—Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn—appearing in succession. Their appearances and disappearances, brightness and darkness, are caused by their varying distances and movements. The sun, moon, and stars are attached to the heavens and move along with them, not actually sinking into the earth. When the sun is about to set, it moves farther away from the observer, its light weakens and eventually fades, appearing dim. When it is about to rise, it comes closer, its light becomes intense, and thus shines clearly. Yang Xiong believed the Heavenly Sphere Theory was correct and criticized the Covering Heaven Theory, saying, "If you set up a level on the top of a mountain to observe the sun, you will see it rise below the level's surface. If the heavens are always above and the earth always below, then the sun would not rise from below." The proponents of the Covering Heaven Theory had no response to this argument.

渾天之說，天體包裹，地在其中，七曜躔離，道有常率，天體旁倚，故日道南高而北下，運轉之樞，南下而北高。二樞為轂，日道為輪，周廻運移，終則復始。北樞謂之北極，北極出地上三十六度，故天南際七十二度，常見而不伏。南樞謂之南極，南極入地下亦三十六度，故天北際七十二度，常伏而不見。

The theory of the Huntian school (the sphere-heavens school) says that celestial bodies are like a shell surrounding the outside, with the earth at its center. The sun, moon, and five wandering stars, totaling seven luminaries, each move along their respective orbits, coming together and separating, all following fixed paths. Since the celestial sphere is inclined, the sun's path is higher in the south and lower in the north, while the axis of the celestial rotation is lower in the south and higher in the north. The two ends of the axis are like the hub of a wheel, and the sun's path is like the rim of a wheel, rotating continuously and repeating its cycle. The northern end of the axis is called the North Pole, which is thirty-six degrees above the horizon, so the region of the sky centered on it with a span of seventy-two degrees is always visible and never sinks below the ground. The southern end of the axis is called the South Pole, which is thirty-six degrees below the horizon, so the region of the sky centered on it with a span of seventy-two degrees is always hidden and never visible.

《周髀》云：日一度二千九百三十二里有奇，夏至景一尺四寸，冬至一丈三尺五寸，周天百七萬一千里，徑三千五萬七千里，四表內萬五千里，其外亦萬五千里。故天日四遊於三萬里之中，冬南、夏北、秋東，皆薄四表而止，地亦升降於天之中，旁遊之數，與天遊同。日道星宿之外，亦萬五千里，圓周之徑，正與四表等。

The Zhou Bi Suan Jing says: The Sun travels one degree every day, covering a distance of more than 29,320 li; on the summer solstice, the shadow of a gnomon is one foot four inches long, while on the winter solstice, it is thirteen feet five inches long; the circumference of the sky is one million and seventy thousand li, and its diameter is three million and fifty-seven thousand li; within the four cardinal boundaries, the distance is fifteen thousand li, and outside the boundaries it is also fifteen thousand li. Therefore, the sky moves within a range of thirty thousand li, traveling south in winter, north in summer, and east in autumn, reaching the four cardinal boundaries each time; the earth also rises and falls in the center of the sky, moving laterally by the same amount as the sky's movement. The Sun's orbit is also fifteen thousand li outside the twenty-eight constellations, and the radius of this circular path is equal to the distance to the four cardinal boundaries.

冬至之日，出辰入申；夏至之日，出寅入戌；進退於六十度之中焉，非專四遊之差，亦有地之升降。冬至之後，日轉北移，非專日之也，亦由天地遊而南，故物在生而不死。夏至之後，日轉南移，非專日之移，亦由天地遊而南，故物在生而不死。夏至之後，日轉南移，非專日之移也。亦由天地遊而北，故物有伏而不生。

On the day of Winter Solstice, the Sun rises at the Chen position and sets at the Shen position; on the day of Summer Solstice, it rises at the Yin position and sets at the Xu position. Throughout the year, the Sun moves within a range of sixty degrees. This is not only due to the difference caused by the Sun's "four wanderings," but also involves the movement of the Earth's rising and falling. After Winter Solstice, the Sun turns northward. This is not solely the movement of the Sun itself, but also because the heavens and earth move southward, thus allowing all things to sprout without dying. After Summer Solstice, the Sun turns southward. This is not solely the movement of the Sun itself, but also because the heavens and earth move northward, thus causing all things to become dormant without growing. The original text repeats the section about "after Summer Solstice" twice. The first version states "the heavens and earth move southward... things sprout without dying," while the second version says "the heavens and earth move northward... things become dormant without growing." These two versions contradict each other, clearly due to a copying error. The latter sentence should be considered correct, and I still follow the original text as it is.

二分之日，出卯入酉；正與地上平，故半表之徑，得天地相去十九萬里，然則地處天半而下也，故曰出地上百八十二度八分度之五，謂之晝；入地下百八十二度八分度之五，謂之夜。晝則出地上而西，夜則入地下而東，周匝百刻，昏明五十刻分之，日刻數既均，天度又等，與極應規，謂之中繩；居寒暑景之和，處遲疾之中。

On the days of Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox, the Sun rises at the Mao position and sets at the You position, exactly matching the horizon. Therefore, by taking half the distance of the boundary, it is calculated that the distance between heaven and earth is nineteen ten-thousand li. This shows that the earth is at half the height of the celestial sphere, slightly lower. Therefore, the Sun travels 182 degrees and five degrees of eight parts above the horizon during the day, and this period is called "day"; it also travels 182 degrees and five degrees of eight parts below the horizon during the night, and this period is called "night." During the day, the Sun rises above the horizon and moves westward; during the night, it sinks below the horizon and moves eastward. In one day and night, there are a total of one hundred parts, each divided into fifty parts by dusk and dawn. Since the number of parts the Sun travels during the day and night are equal, the degrees it passes through are also the same, corresponding exactly to the positions of the north and south poles. This path is called "the central line." It is located at the midpoint between cold and heat and the length of shadows, as well as at the midpoint of the Sun's apparent motion, being slow or fast.

春分之後，日行中繩之北，故晝長而夜短，伏少而見多，景短而溫氣甚。秋分之後，日行中繩之南，故晝短而夜長，伏多而見少，景長而寒氣多。《易》說冬至之景，一丈三尺。夏至之景，一尺四寸八分。並二至之景，得一丈四尺四寸八分。春分之景七尺二寸四分，秋分之景與春分等。並二分之景，亦得一丈四尺四寸分八分，然東西南北，經緯均也。太平時和，七曜順軌，伏遊兩儀之中，不內不外。

After the spring equinox, the sun moves north of the "central line," so the day is longer and the night shorter, the hidden celestial regions are fewer and the visible ones more, the shadow is short and the heat is intense. After the autumn equinox, the sun moves south of the "central line," so the day is shorter and the night longer, the hidden celestial regions are more and the visible ones fewer, the shadow is longer and the cold is stronger. The "Yi Wei" states that on the winter solstice, the shadow is one zhang three chi long, and on the summer solstice, it is one chi four cun and eight fen long. Adding the lengths of the shadows on these two solstices gives a total of one zhang four chi four cun and eight fen. On the spring and autumn equinoxes, the shadow is seven chi two cun and four fen long, and since the shadows on these two equinoxes are equal, their total is also one zhang four chi four cun and eight fen. This shows that the numerical values in the east-west and north-south directions are balanced and equivalent. When the world is peaceful and the cold and heat are in harmony, the seven luminaries follow their regular paths, moving up and down between the two cosmic principles, neither exceeding the track inside nor outside it.

漢之《乾象》魏之《景初》，皆以二分之時，行渾儀之內；故南北闊而東西狹，冬至去極百一十五度，景長一丈三尺。夏去極六十七有奇，景長一尺五寸，並度得百八十二度八分度之五，並景得一丈四尺五寸。春分去極八十九，度景長五尺二寸五分。秋分去極九十度，景長五尺五寸。並度得百七十九度，並景得一丈七寸五分，東西少於南北三度焉。東西九千度弱，東西之景短於南北之景三尺七寸五分，為裡三萬七千五百。東西之徑定也，而度與景裡則有殊。然則一度之裡，一寸之差，及四遊之說，殆難明矣。

The Han dynasty's "Qianxiang Calendar" and the Wei dynasty's "Jingchu Calendar" both believed that during the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the seven luminaries were within the orbit indicated by the armillary sphere, resulting in a wide north-south span and a narrow east-west span. According to their data: on the winter solstice, the sun was 115 degrees from the north pole, with a shadow length of thirteen feet; on the summer solstice, it was more than 67 degrees from the north pole, with a shadow length of one foot five inches. The total degrees from the north pole on the two solstices added up to 182 and five-eighths degrees, and the total shadow lengths added up to thirteen feet five inches. On the vernal equinox, the sun was 89 degrees from the north pole, with a shadow length of five feet two and a half inches; on the autumnal equinox, it was 90 degrees from the north pole, with a shadow length of five feet five inches. The total degrees from the north pole on the two equinoxes added up to 179 degrees, and the total shadow lengths added up to ten feet seven and a half inches. Thus, the east-west span was three degrees less than the north-south span, approximately nine thousand li less. The shadow length in the east-west direction was three feet seven and a half inches shorter than in the north-south direction. If converted using the standard of one li per inch, this would equate to thirty-seven thousand five hundred li. However, the east-west diameter is a fixed value, and calculations based on degrees do not match those based on shadow lengths. Therefore, the question of how many li one degree corresponds to, how many li one inch of shadow difference corresponds to, and the so-called "four wanderings" theory, may all be difficult to clarify.

鄭玄以二至之景，一寸俱差千里。夏至之日，八尺之表景，得一尺五寸。日下之地，南於嵩高一萬五千里。冬至之日，八尺之表景，得一丈三尺。日下之地，南於嵩高十三萬里。夫日高則景小，卑則景差多。日無上下之說，而天地有升降，安得千里同差一寸也。故東西之徑小於南北之徑，以度言之，則九千里；以景言之，則三萬七千五百里。二分之日，南北千里蓋當景差四寸矣。鄭氏之言，豈合理哉。

Zheng Xuan believed that the difference in the length of shadows cast by the sun on the two solstices, each inch difference, corresponded to a distance of one thousand li between north and south. On the summer solstice, a gnomon eight chi high cast a shadow of one chi and five cun, meaning the location directly under the sun was fifteen thousand li south of Songshan; on the winter solstice, the shadow cast by the same gnomon was thirteen chi long, meaning the location directly under the sun was thirteen ten thousand li south of Songshan. In reality, when the sun is higher, the shadow is shorter, and when the sun is lower, the shadow is longer. The sun does not rise or fall, but the heavens and the earth do rise and fall. How can we uniformly calculate a difference of one li for every inch difference in shadow? According to the previous calculation, the diameter in the east-west direction is smaller than that in the north-south direction: according to the degree measurement, it is nine thousand li less, but according to the shadow length calculation, it is thirty-seven thousand five hundred li less. On the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, a distance of one thousand li north-south should correspond to a shadow difference of about four cun. Does Zheng Xuan's view make sense?

天遊薄四面而止，日道與四表等，不升不降，常與四表交錯。二分之日道，與二極應規，而天地居四遊之中。春分之後，天地降而下游西南，至於夏至，天遊至南表而止，故視日北而高。景差少高之故自此以後，而北至秋分，還與日道應規。故分之後，天地升而上游，而北至於冬至，則天遊至北表而止，故視日插而南。景差多卑之故計其進退，南北不繫於三萬里之內。春分之後，至夏之差度二十四，除其鉤弦之數，乃常南遊六萬餘里，此蓋升降之度，裡則少矣。

Heaven moves to the four cardinal directions and stops at the borders, while the path of the sun is equidistant from the four cardinal boundaries, neither rising nor falling, but always intersecting with them. On the days of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sun's path aligns with the positions of the north and south poles, and heaven and earth are at the center of the four directional range. After the vernal equinox, heaven and earth descend and move southwest, reaching the southern boundary at the summer solstice, so the sun appears to be northward and high in the sky—this is due to the small shadow difference and the high position of the sun. From then on, it moves northward again, and at the autumnal equinox, it aligns once more with the sun's path. After the autumnal equinox, heaven and earth ascend and move northward, continuing until the winter solstice, when heaven and earth reach the northern boundary and stop, so the sun appears low and southward—this is due to the large shadow difference and the low position of the sun. Calculating the extent of its movement, the north-south distance does not remain within three ten-thousand li. From the vernal equinox to the summer solstice, the difference from the extreme is twenty-four degrees. After subtracting the conversion numbers of the Pythagorean theorem, it usually moves southward by over sixty ten-thousand li. This is merely the degree of ascent and descent, but when converted into actual distance, it is not very great.

今置渾天於地，以衡望日，地升渾上則日去極遠，地降下渾下則日去極近；遠近之驗，不必在於南北，亦由升降可知矣。然則旁遊與外降各十二度，與天在遊三萬里相近矣。日月麗天，有虧有盈，有交有會，日行日出，經半周天焉；即月道交錯，半入日道之內，半出日道之外；在外謂之行陽，在內謂之行陰，當交則會，會則有食。

Now the armillary sphere is placed on the ground, and the Zuben sighting tube is directed toward the sun for observation: when the ground rises above the armillary sphere, the sun appears farther from the North Pole; when the ground sinks below the armillary sphere, the sun appears closer to the North Pole. The verification of distance does not necessarily have to be observed from the north-south direction; it can also be known from the rising and setting. Thus, the lateral movement and the outward descent each amount to twelve degrees, which is close to the statement that "the heavens move within thirty thousand li." The sun and moon are attached to the sky, waxing and waning, meeting and separating. The sun rises and sets each day, completing half a celestial circle in a day and night. The moon's orbit crosses the sun's orbit, with half of it inside the sun's path and half outside: the part outside is called "moving in the yang," and the part inside is called "moving in the yin." When it reaches the node, they meet, and when they meet, solar and lunar eclipses occur.

蔡氏《月令章句》曰：“天者，純陽精剛，轉運無窮，其體渾而包地。地上者一百八十二度八分之五，地下亦如之。其上中北偏，出地三十六度，謂之北極，極星是也。史官以玉衡長八寸，孔徑一寸，從下端望之，此星常見孔端，無有移動，是以知其為天中也。其下中南偏，入地亦三十六度，謂之南極。從上端望之，當孔下端是也。此兩中者，天之輻軸所在，轉運之所由也。

In the Eastern Han dynasty, Cai Yong of the "Yue Ling Zhang Ju" wrote: "Heaven is the pure essence of yang and the strong and vigorous energy, rotating and moving without cease, its form is round and encompasses the earth. The part of heaven above the horizon is one hundred eighty-two degrees and five degrees of eight parts, and the part below the horizon is the same. The center of the celestial sphere, which is slightly northward, is thirty-six degrees above the horizon, called the 'North Pole,' where the North Star is located. The officials used a jade measuring tube eight inches long and one inch in diameter, looking upward from the bottom end, and this star was always seen at the top of the tube's hole, never moving, thus determining it as the center of heaven. The center of the celestial sphere, which is slightly southward, is thirty-six degrees below the horizon, called the 'South Pole'; looking upward from the top end of the jade tube, it is directly opposite the bottom of the tube's hole. These two centers, north and south, are the location of the celestial axis, upon which the celestial sphere rotates."

天左旋出地上而西，入地下而東。其繞北極，徑七十二度，常見不伏，圖內赤小規是也。繞南極，徑七十二度，常見不伏，圖內赤小規是也。繞南極，徑七十二度，常見不伏，圖外赤大規是也。據天地之中，而察東西，則天半見半不見，圖中赤規截婁角者是也。”

The sky rotates to the left; when it rises above the horizon, it moves westward, and when it descends below the horizon, it moves eastward. The circle around the North Pole with a diameter of seventy-two degrees, which is always visible and never disappears, is the small red circle within the star chart. The circle around the South Pole with a diameter of seventy-two degrees, which is always visible and never disappears, is the large red circle outside the star chart. Standing at the center of heaven and earth to observe the east-west direction, half of the sky is visible and half is not, which corresponds to the red circular line on the star chart that crosses the mansion of Niu and the mansion of Jiao. According to the original text, the sentence about "circling the South Pole" is repeated twice, and the phrase "commonly visible and not hidden, the small red circle within the chart" in the first instance should be "always hidden and not visible, the large red circle outside the chart," which is an error caused by repeated copying. The current version follows the original text without alteration.

岌按：此與張衡所說不殊，則雲玉衡長八寸，則似是古儀矣。又云據天地之中所云規數，據蓋圖綴星是也。後漢末，吳人陸績，字公紀，於孫權時，又作《渾天儀說》。績造渾天圖，漸於土室居，令不覺晝夜。已在內推步度數，擊鼓節與外相應，而不失毫釐。

The editor's note says: This passage is essentially the same as what Zhang Heng discussed; as for the statement that the Yu Heng is eight inches long, that seems to be an ancient instrument. It also mentions that standing at the center of heaven and earth to observe, the measurements and degrees mentioned are based on the star positions depicted in the Gaitian diagram. In the late Eastern Han dynasty, Lu Ji, a man from Wu region, whose name was Gongji, wrote the "Hun Tian Yi Shuo" during the time of Sun Quan. Lu Ji created the Hun Tian diagram and gradually moved into a sealed earth chamber to live, so that he would not be aware of the actual day and night outside. Inside the chamber, he calculated the movements of celestial bodies and struck the drum according to the calculated time to indicate the seasons, and it matched perfectly with the actual time outside without any discrepancy.

陸公紀《渾天說》云：先王之道，存乎治曆明時，本之驗著，在於天儀。夫法象莫如渾天，渾天之設外矣。昔在顓頊，使南正重司天，而帝嚳變序三辰。堯命羲和，欽若昊天，曆象日月星辰。舜之受禪，在璇璣玉衡，以齊七政。以是數者言之，曩時已立渾天之象明矣。

Lü Ji's "Holistic Heaven Theory" states: The way of the former kings in governing the country was implemented through the study and regulation of calendars and the clarification of seasonal changes. The most fundamental evidence for this lies in the instruments used to observe the heavens. To follow the heavenly phenomena, nothing is more suitable than the holistic heaven instrument. The establishment of the holistic heaven instrument has a long history. In ancient times, during the reign of Zhuan Xu, he entrusted Nan Zheng Chong with the affairs of the heavens; during the reign of Di Ku, he further regulated the order of the three celestial bodies, the sun, moon, and stars. Yao appointed Xi Shi and He Shi to respectfully follow the heavens, observing and calculating the movements of the sun, moon, and stars. After Shun accepted the mandate of heaven, he first examined the Xuan Ji Yu Heng, using it to correct the seven celestial bodies. From these events, it is clear that the holistic heaven instrument was already established at that time.

周公序次六十四卦，兩兩相承，反覆成象，以法天行，周而復始，晝夜之義。故《晉卦彖》曰：“晝日三接。”《明夷象》曰：“初登于天，照四國也；後入于地。”仲尼說之曰：“明出地上，晉進而麗乎大明，是以晝日三接。”明入地中明夷，明夷夜也，先晝後夜，先晉後明夷，故曰先登於天，照四國也；後入于地，失則也。日月麗乎天，隨天轉運，出入乎地，以成晝夜也。渾天之義，蓋與此同。

The Duke of Zhou arranged the sixty-four hexagrams in pairs, each following the other, with their forms reversed to form the images of the hexagrams, thus imitating the operation of Heaven, which is cyclical and ever-repeating. This contains the meaning of the alternation of day and night. Therefore, the Commentary on the Judgment of the Hexagram of Progress says, "Being received three times within a single day." The Image Commentary of the Hexagram of Diminishing Light says, "At first rising to the heavens, it shines over all the four directions; later it sinks into the earth." Confucius explained, "When light rises above the earth, it is the Hexagram of Progress; advancing and attaching itself to the great illumination, thus being received three times within a single day." When light enters the earth, it is the Hexagram of Diminishing Light; the Hexagram of Diminishing Light refers to night. Since day comes before night, the Hexagram of Progress comes before the Hexagram of Diminishing Light. Therefore, it says first rising to the heavens, shining over all the four directions, and later sinking into the earth, thus losing its regular course. The sun and moon attach themselves to the heavens, rotating with the sky, appearing and disappearing on the earth, thus forming day and night. The principle of the spherical heavens is probably similar to this.

雲雲餘已見前篇，至與蔡氏張衡同，故略雲。故曰：言天體非一家也。吳時，廬江王蕃，字興元，為中常侍，善數術，嘗造渾儀及《渾天象說》云：“幽平之後，周室遂卑。”雲雲，至日光不得曜星也，與前說並同。

The following passage has already been recorded before, and its content is the same as what Cai Yong and Zhang Heng discussed, so it is omitted here. Therefore, it is said that talking about celestial phenomena is not the work of a single school. During the Three Kingdoms period in Wu, Wang Fen, a man from Lujiang, whose name was Xingyuan, held the office of Zhongchangshi, was skilled in numerology, and once made an armillary sphere and wrote a text calledthe Huntian Xiangshuo. He said: "After King You of Zhou and King Ping of Zhou, the royal house of Zhou declined," and so on, up to the sentence "the sunlight cannot illuminate the stars," which is the same as the previous quotation.

《易》曰：“天地貞觀，日月貞明。”《洪範傳》曰：“清明者，天之體也。”《易》曰：“天行健，君子以自強不息。”《易說卦》曰：“乾為天，乾健也。”《河圖葉光紀》曰：“元氣闓陽為天。”《易乾鑿度》曰：“清輕者上為天，重濁者下為地。”《禮統》曰：“天、地，元氣之所生，萬物之祖也。天之為言顛也，神水珍也。”

The Zhou Yi: Xi Ci Xia says: "Heaven and earth reveal the correct path to mankind, and the sun and moon illuminate all things through the correct path." The Hong Fan Zhuan says: "Clear and bright, this is the nature of heaven." The Zhou Yi: Qian Gua: Xiang Zhuan says: "The way of heaven is strong and vigorous without ceasing, and the gentleman thus ceaselessly strives for self-improvement." The Zhou Yi: Shuo Gua Zhuan says: "The Qian Gua symbolizes heaven, and the nature of Qian is strength and vigor." The esoteric text He Tu Ye Guang Ji says: "The primordial qi initiates the yang qi, thus becoming heaven." The esoteric text Yi Qian Zao Du says: "The light and subtle part rises to become heaven, while the heavy and turbid part sinks to become earth." The Li Tong says: "Heaven and earth are both born from primordial qi, and are the ancestors of all things. The character 'heaven' derives its meaning from 'dian,' meaning the highest point." (The last four characters 'shen shui zhen ye' in the original text are corrupted and the meaning is unclear.)

《爾雅》曰：“穹蒼，蒼天也。春為蒼天，夏為昊天，秋為旻天，冬為上天。”《太玄經》曰：“九天：一為中天，二為羨天，三為順天，四為更天，五為$天，六為廓天，七為咸天，八為沈天，九為成天。”

The Er Ya · Shi Tian says: "Qiong cang is the same as cang tian. The sky in spring is called cang tian, in summer hao tian, in autumn min tian, and in winter shang tian." Yang Xiong's The Classic of Supreme Mystery says: "Heaven is divided into nine layers: the first is zhong tian, the second xian tian, the third shun tian, the fourth geng tian, the fifth is unknown, marked with a symbol $, the current version of The Classic of Supreme Mystery reads 'cui tian.' The sixth is kuo tian, the seventh xian tian, the eighth shen tian, and the ninth cheng tian."

《考靈曜》曰：“觀玉儀之遊，昏明主時，乃命中星。中央鈞天，其星角、亢、氐。東方蒼天，其星房、心、尾。東北變天，其星箕、斗、牽牛。北方玄天，其星須女、虛、危、營室。西北幽天，其星東壁、奎、婁。西方昊天，其星胃、昴、畢。西南方朱天，其星觜、參、東井。南方炎天，其星輿鬼、柳、七星。東南方陽天，其星張、翼、軫。”《淮南子》曰：“道始於虛廓，虛廓生宇宙，宇宙生氣，清陽者薄靡而為天。”

The Wei text "Shangshu Kaolingyao" says: "Observe the movement indicated by the Yu Heng instrument, determine the seasons according to the star formations at dusk and at dawn, and thus establish the star mansions at the southern mid-heaven. The central region is called Jun Tian, with the star mansions of Jiao, Kang, and Di; the eastern region is called Cang Tian, with the star mansions of Fang, Xin, and Wei; the northeast region is called Bian Tian, with the star mansions of Ji, Dou, and Qian Niu; the northern region is called Xuan Tian, with the star mansions of Xu Nu, Xu, Wei, and Ying Shi; the northwest region is called You Tian, with the star mansions of Dong Bei, Kui, and Lou; the western region is called Hao Tian, with the star mansions of Wei, Mao, and Bi; the southwest region is called Zhu Tian, with the star mansions of Zi, Shen, and Dong Jing; the southern region is called Yan Tian, with the star mansions of Yu Gui, Liu, and Qi Bing; the southeast region is called Yang Tian, with the star mansions of Zhang, Yi, and Zhen." The "Huainanzi · Tianwen Xun" says: "The Dao originates from the void, the void gives rise to the universe, and the universe gives rise to the original qi. The clear and light part of the original qi rises and becomes the sky."

《洛書甄曜度》曰：“周天三百六十五度四分度之一，一度為二千九百三十二里，則天地相去十七萬八千五百里。”《廣雅》曰：“天圍廣，南北二億三萬三千五百里七十五步，東西短減四步，周六億十萬七百里二十五步。”從地至天，一億一萬六千七百八十七里。下度地之厚，與天高等。”《靈憲》曰：“天有九位，自地至天，一億一萬六千二百五十里。懸天之景，薄地之儀，皆移千里而差一寸。”

The Luo Writing, as explained in the book of Weishi "Luo Shu Zhen Yao Du", says: "The entire celestial circle measures 365 and 1/4 degrees. Each degree corresponds to 2,932 li. Therefore, the distance between heaven and earth is 178,500 li." Zhang Yi's "Guangya" states: "The sky is vast, extending north-south for 233,350 li and 75 bu, while its east-west span is 4 bu shorter. The total circumference is 610,070,000 li and 25 bu. The distance from the earth's surface to the sky is 116,787 li. The thickness of the earth, measured downward, is equal to the height of the sky." Zhang Heng's "Ling Xian" explains: "The sky has nine layers. The distance from the earth to the sky is 116,250 li. The shadow cast by the sun at a high altitude and the shadow measured by a gnomon on the ground differ by one inch for every thousand li of distance between them."

關令《內傳》曰：“南午北子，相去九千一萬里。東卯西酉，亦九千一萬里。四隅空無，相去亦爾。天去地四十萬九千里。”徐整《三五曆紀》曰：“天地渾沌如雞子，盤古生其中，一萬八千歲天地開闢，清陽為天，濁陰為地，盤古在其中一日九變，神於天，聖於地。天日高一丈，地日厚一丈，盤古日長一丈。如此一萬八千數，天數極高，地數極深，盤古極長。後乃有三皇。數起於一，立於三，成於五，盛於七，處於九；故天去地九萬里。”

Guan Ling Yin Xi's Inner Transmission says: "The southern Wu position to the northern Zi position, spans nine million and one ten-thousand li; the eastern Mao position to the western You position, also spans nine million and one ten-thousand li; the four corners, though empty and void, are also separated by the same distance. The distance between heaven and earth is forty million and nine thousand li." Xu Zheng of the Three Kingdoms period's San Wu Li Ji says: "When heaven and earth were not yet divided, the chaos was like an egg, and Pangu was born within it. After eighteen thousand years, heaven and earth were created: the clear part became heaven, the heavy part became earth. Pangu was in the center of heaven and earth, changing nine times a day, more miraculous than heaven and more wise than earth. Heaven rose one zhang per day, earth thickened one zhang per day, and Pangu also grew one zhang per day. After eighteen thousand days, heaven reached its highest point, earth reached its deepest point, and Pangu's body also reached its full height. Then came the Three Emperors. Numbers begin with one, stand on three, are formed by five, flourish by seven, and end with nine, so the distance between heaven and earth is nine ten-thousand li."

《淮南子》曰：“九野，九千九百九十里，去地一億一萬里。”《春秋內事》曰：“天下十二分次，日月之所躔也。”《孝經援神契》曰：“周天七衡、六間者，相去萬九千八百三十三里三分裡之一，合十一萬九千里。從內衡以至中衡，從中衡以至外衡。各五萬九千五百里。”

The Huainanzi says: "The area of the nine wilds is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety li, and it is one hundred and one ten thousand li above the earth." The Spring and Autumn Inner Affairs says: "The world is divided into twelve sections, which are the positions passed through by the sun and moon." The esoteric text Xiaojing Yu Shenqi says: "The entire sky is divided into seven horizontal paths and six intervals. The distance between each adjacent horizontal path is nineteen thousand eight hundred and thirty-three li and one third of a li, totaling eleven thousand nine hundred li. From the innermost horizontal path to the middle horizontal path, and from the middle horizontal path to the outermost horizontal path, each is five thousand nine hundred and fifty li."

京氏《易妖占》曰：“天開見光，流血滂滂。”《天鏡》曰：“天裂見光，流血汪汪；天裂見人，兵起國亡。”劉向《洪範傳》曰：“漢惠帝二年，天天東北，廣十餘丈，長二十餘丈。”《星經》亦云：“或則天裂，或則地動，皆氣有餘，陽不足也。地動陰有餘，天裂陽不足，皆下盛強，將害君之變也。其後有呂氏之亂。”

Jing Fang of the Western Han dynasty's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "If the sky cracks open and shines brightly, there will be blood flowing all over the land." The "Tian Jing" says: "If the sky cracks open and shines brightly, there will be blood flowing in patches; if the sky cracks open and reveals a human shape, military disasters will arise and the state will perish." Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: "In the second year of Emperor Hui of the Han dynasty, the sky cracked open in the Northeast direction, with a width of more than ten zhang and a length of more than twenty zhang." (The original text says "Tian Tian Northeast," and the next "Tian" should be "Crack.") The "Xing Jing" also says: "Sometimes the sky cracks open, sometimes the earth shakes, both are due to an excess of qi in one direction and a deficiency of yang qi. Earth shaking is due to an excess of yin qi, while a sky crack is due to a deficiency of yang qi. Both indicate that those in lower positions are strong, and a calamity against the sovereign will arise. Indeed, the Li family later rebelled."

“景帝三年，天北有赤者如席，長十餘丈，或曰赤氣，或曰天裂，其後有七國之兵。”“晉惠帝元康二年二月，天西北天裂，按劉向說曰：‘天裂陽不足，地動陰有餘，是時人主昏瞀，妃后專制。’”“又八月庚午，天中裂為二，有聲如雷者三，君道衰，臣下專僭之象也。是日長沙王奉帝出拒成都、河間二王，後成都、河間、東海又迭專威命。是其應也。”

In the third year of Emperor Jingdi of the Han dynasty, a red patch appeared in the northern part of the sky, resembling a mat, and was over ten zhang long. Some said it was red vapor, while others thought it was a split in the sky. After this, the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu occurred. In the second year of Yuankang during Emperor Hui of the Jin dynasty, in February, the sky split in the northwest. According to Liu Xiang's view: "A split in the sky indicates insufficient yang energy, while an earth movement indicates excessive yin energy." At that time, the ruler was foolish and corrupt, and the concubine and her family ruled the court. In the same year, in August on the day of Gengwu, the sky split in half from the middle, producing three thunder-like sounds, which was a sign of the decline of the ruler's virtue and the overstepping of ministers. On that day, Prince Sima Yi of Changsha led Emperor Hui's army to resist Prince Sima Ying of Chengdu and Prince Sima Yong of Hejian. Later, Prince Sima Ying of Chengdu, Prince Sima Yong of Hejian, and Prince Sima Yuan of Donghai took turns monopolizing the imperial authority, which was the fulfillment of this heavenly omen.

“穆帝昇平五年八月己卯夜，天中裂，廣三四丈，有聲如雷，野雉皆鳴。是後哀帝荒疾，海西失德，太后總萬機，桓溫專權，威振內外，陰氣隆，陽道微也。”《天鏡》曰：“天以冬裂，天下大兵。有陰謀，主有喪；春秋主君臣懷攏，夏冬主有大兵。”京房《妖占》曰：“天分作亂之君，無道之臣，欲裂其土，國之主當之。”《天鏡》曰：“天裂而言，如其言。天裂見牛、馬、豕，天下憂。《汲冢紀年書》曰：“懿王元年，天再啟於鄭、晉，穆帝昇平五年，天裂有聲，又有天裂見其流水、馬、人。”

In the fifth year of Emperor Junmu's Shengping era, in the eighth month on the day of Jimao, the sky split in the middle, opening up about three or four zhang wide, with a sound like thunder, causing wild chickens to cry out in alarm. After that, Emperor Aidi of the Jin Dynasty became seriously ill due to taking elixirs, Emperor Huixi of the Western Jin lost virtue and was deposed, the Chu太后 took control of the government, and Huan Wen seized power, his authority shaking both inside and outside the court: this was a sign of the flourishing of yin and the decline of yang. The "Tian Jing" says: "If the sky splits in winter, there will be great military disasters and conspiracies, and the ruler will suffer loss of life; if it splits in spring or autumn, it indicates mutual suspicion and control between the ruler and ministers; if it splits in summer or winter, there will be great military calamities." Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: "When the sky splits and separates, it is a sign of a rebellious ruler and an unrighteous minister who intend to divide the land, and the sovereign of the country will bear this calamity." The "Tian Jing" also says: "If the sky splits and makes a sound, it will be fulfilled as it says. If the sky splits and shows the shapes of cattle, horses, and pigs, there will be worries for the whole country." The "Jizhong Jiniannian Shu" says: "In the first year of King Yi of the Zhou Dynasty, the sky split twice in the areas of Zheng and Jin." In the fifth year of Emperor Junmu's Shengping era, the sky split with a loud noise, and there are also records of the sky splitting and showing the shapes of flowing water, horses, and human figures.

《洪範傳》曰：“天忽變色，是謂易常。天裂見人，兵起國亡。天鳴有聲，至尊憂且驚。皆亂國之所由生也。”《天鏡》曰：“天忽變色，四夷來侵，不出八年有兵。”

The Hongfan Transmission says: "Heaven suddenly changes its color, which is called 'changing the constant,' meaning the disruption of the normal way. Heaven splits open to reveal a human form, indicating the outbreak of warfare and the fall of a state. Heaven produces a sound, causing the supreme ruler to feel both sorrow and fear. These are all omens resulting from a chaotic state." The Tianjing says: "Heaven suddenly changes its color, indicating that the four outer regions will soon invade, and there will be warfare within eight years."

京房《易傳》曰：“天鳴必有殺行，民流亡。”又曰：“萬姓勞厥，妖天鳴。”《天鏡》曰：“天鳴，世主失，不出十日。”又曰：“天鳴主死，百姓哭。”《河圖秘微》曰：“劉帝即位百七十日，太陰在庚辰，江充構禍，其變天鳴。”“晉元帝大興二年八月戊戌，天鳴東南，有聲如風水相薄。京房《易妖占》曰：‘天鳴有聲，人主憂’”

Jing Fang's "Yi Transmission" says: "When heaven produces a sound, there will certainly be an execution of killings and the people will be displaced and flee." It also says: "When the common people suffer hardship and distress, strange phenomena such as heavenly sounds will appear." The "Heavenly Mirror" says: "Heavenly sounds indicate that the current ruler will lose the world, and within ten days it will come to pass." It also says: "Heavenly sounds indicate the death of the ruler, and the people will weep and mourn." The "Heavenly Chart Secret Microcosm" says: "When the Han dynasty emperor (the original text says 'Liu Emperor,' referring to Emperor Wu of Han) had been on the throne for one hundred and seventy days, the Taiyin calendar year was Gengchen, and Jiang Chong's false accusations led to the witchcraft and witch-hunting calamity; its precursor was the heavenly sound." In the second year of Da Xing during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Jin, in the eighth month on the fifth day of the Wuxu cycle, heaven produced a sound in the southeast direction, with a sound like wind and water colliding. Jing Fang's "Yi Omen Divination" says: "When heaven produces a sound, the ruler will have worries and troubles."

“晉大興三年十月壬辰，天鳴，至甲午止，其後王敦入石頭，王師敗績，元帝屈辱，制於強臣，即而晏駕。”“晉安帝隆安五年閏月癸丑，天東南鳴，二年九月戊子，天東南又鳴，是後桓玄篡位，安帝播越，憂莫大焉。鳴每東南者，蓋中興江外，天隨之而鳴也。”“晉安帝義熙元年八月，天鳴在東南，京房《易傳》曰：‘萬姓勞厥，妖天鳴。’是時安帝雖反政，而兵革歲動，眾庶勤勞也。”

In the third year of Emperor Jianwu's reign during the era of Da Xing, in the tenth lunar month on the day of Renchen, the sky began to make a loud sound, and it stopped only on the day of Jiawu. Afterwards, Wang Dun raised an army and attacked the Stone City, and the imperial forces suffered a great defeat. The emperor was humiliated and controlled by a powerful minister, and soon afterwards he died. In the fifth year of Long'an during the reign of Emperor Jian'an, in the leap month on the day of Guichou, the sky made a loud sound in the southeast direction. In the second year of Yuanxing, in the ninth lunar month on the day of Wuzi, the sky again made a loud sound in the southeast direction. Afterwards, Huan Xuan usurped the throne, and Emperor Jian'an was forced to wander and migrate, and there was no greater calamity than this. The sky's loud sounds always occurred in the southeast direction, probably because the Jin dynasty was reestablished in the Jiangnan region, and thus the sky sounded in that direction. In the first year of Yixi during the reign of Emperor Jian'an, in the eighth lunar month, the sky made a loud sound in the southeast direction. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says, "When the people are laboring and suffering, an abnormal phenomenon of the sky making a loud sound occurs." At that time, although Emperor Jian'an had already regained the throne and taken personal control of the government, wars continued year after year, and the people were extremely exhausted.

《天鏡》曰：“天雨鳥獸，主兵喪，萬民流亡。”劉向《洪範傳》曰：“天雨禽獸，是謂不祥；不出三年，其下興兵。”《洪範傳》曰：“人君不親骨肉，親他人，故蟲從天墮地，骨肉去也。不救，兵大起。其救也，立王公，率同姓諸侯，無偏黨，則災消。”

The Tian Jing says: "Birds and beasts falling from the sky indicate impending military calamities and funerals, with the people wandering and fleeing." Liu Xiang's Hong Fan Zhuan says: "When flying animals and beasts fall from the sky, it is an omen of ill fortune; within three years, warfare will arise in that region." The Hong Fan Zhuan also states: "If the ruler does not favor his close relatives but instead favors outsiders, then insects will fall from the sky to the ground, symbolizing the dispersion of close kin. If no measures are taken to remedy this, there will be great warfare. The remedy is to enfeoff princes and have them lead fellow-surname feudal lords, avoiding favoritism and factionalism, so that the ominous signs will be dispelled."

又曰：“春秋者，蟲之災也，以罰暴虐而取於天下；貪叨無厭，以興動眾；取邑治城，而失眾心，蟲為害矣。”文公三年秋，雨螽於宋，是時宋公以暴虐刑重，賦斂無度應，是而螽也。《天鏡》曰：“天雨魚鱉，為兵喪，萬民流亡”。《洪範傳》曰：“天雨魚鱉，國有兵喪。”又曰：“天雨骨，是謂陽消；王者德令不行，佞人用。不出三年，有內爭。”“《易飛候》曰：“天雨骨，師將破亡。”

It is also said that the disasters caused by insects recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals are used to punish those who seize power through cruelty. These people are greedy without end, frequently mobilizing troops and involving the people in labor, seizing cities and building large fortifications, thus losing the hearts of the people, and insect plagues then occur. In the third year of Lu Wen Gong's reign in autumn, locusts fell from the sky in the State of Song. At that time, the Duke of Song was cruel, with harsh punishments and excessive taxation, and this locust plague was a response to these actions. The Heavenly Mirror says: "If fish and turtles fall from the sky, it indicates military calamity and mourning, with the people wandering and fleeing." The Hongfan Transmission says: "If fish and turtles fall from the sky, the country will suffer military calamity and mourning." It is also said: "If bones fall from the sky, this is called 'Yang Xiao,' meaning the decline of Yang energy; the king's virtue and decrees cannot be implemented, and wicked ministers are appointed. Within three years, there will be internal strife." The Yi Fei Hou says: "If bones fall from the sky, the army will be defeated and destroyed."

《洪範傳》曰：“天雨筋，國大飢。”又曰：“天雨膏，如蟲，輔臣多貪之應也。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨膏，其國有急。”《洪範傳》曰：“君無道暴虐，天雨肉。天雨肉，天不享其德，將易其君。”《繼漢書五行志》曰：“桓帝建和三年，北地雨肉，似半筋，大如手。時帝幼，太后專政。”

The "Hong Fan Chuan" says: "If heavenly fat-like things fall from the sky, the country will suffer a great famine." It also says: "If heavenly fat-like things fall from the sky, shaped like worms, this is an omen that the ministers assisting the ruler have committed much corruption." The "Yi Fei Hou" says: "If heavenly fat-like things fall from the sky, the country will face sudden difficulties." The "Hong Fan Chuan" says: "If the ruler is unjust and tyrannical, heaven will drop flesh. When flesh falls from the sky, it indicates that heaven no longer enjoys his virtue and is about to replace this ruler." The "Xu Han Shu · Wu Xing Zhi" says: "In the third year of Jian He in the reign of Emperor Huan of Han, in the northern region of Beidi Commandery, flesh-like things fell from the sky, resembling half a tendon, as big as a hand. At that time, Emperor Huan was young, and the Liang太后 held the government in her hands."

《魏志》曰：“公孫泉將亡，襄平北市生肉，長圍各數尺，有頭目口喙，無手足而動。”《喙搖占》曰：“有形不成者，其國滅。”《洪範傳》曰：“天雨膏錫，如甘露著樹木，不出三年，更政易主。白者名甘露，黃者為爵錫。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨如水銀，是謂刑枉，不出三年，兵喪並起，亡國失土。”

The *Book of the Later Han: Wei Records* says: "When Gongsun Yuan (a Tang dynasty taboo name for Gongsun Quan) was about to fall, a piece of flesh appeared in the northern market of Xiangping City, with length and circumference of several feet, having a head, eyes, and mouth, but no hands or feet, yet it moved." The *Book of Whispers* says: "A creature with form but not shape appears, and the country will be doomed to destruction." The *Honganfan Zhuan* says: "A sticky tin-like substance fell from the sky, like dew, attaching itself to trees. Within three years, there will be a change in government and a replacement of the ruler. White ones are called 'Ganlu' (sweet dew), and yellow ones are called 'Jue Xi' (cup tin)." The *Tianjing* says: "A substance like mercury fell from the sky, which is called 'punishment and injustice.' Within three years, military disaster and mourning will occur together, and the country will be ruined and lose its territory."

京房曰：“天雨血，茲謂不親，黔首怨之，不出三年，亡其宗人。”《尚書中候》曰：“夏桀無道，天雨血。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨血，是謂天見其妖，不正者不得久處其位，不三年兵起。”《演孔圖》曰：“君過滿七九，則雨血。”《運斗樞》曰：“偏任不移，雨血漂流。”京房《易傳》曰：“王者不顧骨肉，不親九族，天雨血二日。”又曰：“血自天墮，三年大兵。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨血，流染衣，其國亡，君戮。”

During the Western Han dynasty, Jing Fang said, "Blood falling from heaven is called 'not being close,' and the people all resent him; within three years, his family will perish." The "Shang Zhong Shou Hou" states, "King Jie of Xia was unjust, and blood fell from heaven." The "Tian Jing" says, "Blood falling from heaven is an omen from heaven indicating an evil portent; those who act improperly cannot remain in power for long, and within three years, military conflict will arise." The esoteric text "Chunqiu Yan Kong Tu" says, "When a ruler's faults accumulate to the number of sixty-three, which is seven times nine, heaven will shed blood." The esoteric text "Chunqiu Yun Dou Shu" says, "If a ruler overly trusts and relies on one person without ever changing his ways, heaven will shed blood that flows." Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says, "If a king does not care for his relatives and does not befriend his nine clans, heaven will shed blood for two consecutive days." It also says, "When blood falls from heaven, there will be a great war within three years." The "Yi Fei Hou" says, "When blood falls from heaven and stains the clothes, the country will perish, and the king will be executed."

《太公金匱》曰：“唐堯克有苗，問人曰：‘吾聞有苗時，天雨血沾衣，有此妖乎？’人曰：‘非妖也，有苗誅諫者，尊無功，退有能，遇人如敵，故亡耳。’”京房《易》曰：“臨獄不解，茲謂進非厥咎，天雨血。天雨血者，茲謂不親宗，有怨恐，不出三年，亡其宗。佞人用功，天雨血。”

The *Golden Chest* records: After Tang Yao defeated the Youmiao, he asked others, "I have heard that during the time when Youmiao was in power, blood fell from the sky and stained his clothes. Was this really an omen?" The person replied, "That was not an omen. Youmiao executed those who gave him advice, honored those without merit, dismissed the capable, and treated people as enemies, so he lost his country." Jing Fang's *Book of Changes* says: "If cases are delayed for a long time, this is called employing the unworthy. Its omen is blood falling from the sky. Blood falling from the sky indicates that the ruler does not keep close to his relatives, and the relatives harbor resentment and fear. Within three years, his relatives will perish. When petty men gain power, the sky will also shed blood."

《漢書五行志》曰：“惠帝二年，雨血於宜陽，一頃所，劉向以為近赤，祥也。時大臣誅滅諸呂，殭尸流血。”又曰：“哀帝建平四年，山陽胡陵雨血，廣三尺，長五尺，大者如錢，小者如麻，後三年，王莽專朝，誅貴戚。”

The "Book of Han: Five Phases Chapter" says: "In the second year of Emperor Hui of Han, blood fell from the sky over Yiyang, covering an area of about one hundred mu. Liu Xiang considered this to be a sign of the red phase, a presage. Later, the ministers executed the members of the Lu family, and there was a great amount of corpses and blood, which exactly corresponded to this omen." It also says: "In the fourth year of Jianping during Emperor Ai of Han's reign, blood fell from the sky over Huling County in Shanyang Commandery. The width was three chi, the length five chi, with large drops resembling copper coins and small ones like sesame seeds. Three years later, Wang Mang seized control of the government and executed the relatives and powerful ministers."

《天鏡》曰：“天雨羽毛，是謂興人不常，棄亡，前後有喪，不出九年，兵馬興。”京房曰：“天雨毛，邪人進，賢人逃，貴人走。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨毛羽，其國大風。”又曰：“天雨羽毛，大人出亡。”又曰：“天雨羽，君德不通，逆於天下。”

The Tian Jing says: "Feathers falling from the sky indicate the repeated and unstable use of talents, with those who are discarded fleeing abroad, and continuous losses occurring before and after; within no more than nine years, military forces will be mobilized." Jing Fang says: "Feathers falling from the sky signify the appointment of wicked people, while the virtuous ones flee, and the powerful ones flee as well." The Yi Fei Hou says: "Feathers falling from the sky indicate that the country will experience a great wind." It also says: "Feathers falling from the sky mean that a great person will flee." It also says: "Feathers falling from the sky indicate that the ruler's virtue and grace cannot reach the people, and that it is against the will of the people across the land."

《天鏡》曰：“天雨金，為兵喪，萬民流亡。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨金鐵，大兵入。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨金鐵，是謂刑餘，人君殘酷，好殺無違，不出一年，兵交於朝。”京房曰：“天雨金銀，兵將興，失道之君當之。”謹按：《史記》秦獻公十八年雨金。《易飛候》曰：“天雨鐵錢，其國大飢。”

The Tian Jing says: "Gold falling from the sky indicates military calamity and funerals, with the people wandering and fleeing." The Yi Fei Hou says: "If iron and gold fall from the sky, a large army will enter the country." The Tian Jing also says: "If iron and gold fall from the sky, this is called 'Xing Yu,' meaning the remnants of excessive punishments; the ruler is cruel, fond of killing, and no one dares to oppose, and within a year, weapons will clash in the court." Jing Fang says: "If gold and silver fall from the sky, military affairs will arise, and the unjust ruler will bear this calamity." The compiler notes: The Shi Ji records that in the eighteenth year of King Xian Gong of Qin, gold fell from the sky. The Yi Fei Hou says: "If iron money falls from the sky, the country will suffer a great famine."

《天鏡》曰：“天雨石，為兵喪，萬民亡。”京房曰：“天雨石，為政者質信不施，偽詐妄作，國君死亡。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨冰，其國大疾。”又曰：“天雨笠，國大飢。”又曰：“天雨杵，其國大飢。”

The Tian Jing says: "Stones falling from the sky indicate military calamity and mourning, with the people fleeing." Jing Fang says: "Stones falling from the sky signify that the ruling authority is not practicing sincerity, but instead deceiving and acting recklessly, and the king is about to die." The Yi Fei Hou says: "Ice falling from the sky indicates that the country will suffer a great epidemic." It also says: "A hat falling from the sky indicates a great famine in the country." It also says: "A wooden pestle falling from the sky indicates a great famine in the country."

皇甫士安曰：“殷紂暴虐，天雨灰天雨灰色，君有歸來邑者。”墨子曰：“商紂不德，十日雨土於毫，天雨土，君夫封。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨土，是大凶，民人負子東西，莫居其鄉。”又曰：“天雨土，是謂高土，百姓勞若而無妨，土是謂高。社民勞苦，繁於土功不安，主外戚謀。”

Huangfu Mi (style name Shian) said: "Yin Zhou was cruel and tyrannical, and gray fell from heaven. When gray falls from heaven, it indicates that people from outside will come to the capital." (The original text here repeats the six characters "tian yu hui tian yu hui se" and has some errors.) Mozi said: "Shang Zhou lost virtue, and for ten consecutive days, soil fell in Bo. When soil falls from heaven, it indicates that the ruler will have to establish new feudal territories." The "Yi Fei Hou" says: "When soil falls from heaven, it is a great ominous sign, with common people carrying their children fleeing east and west, and no one willing to stay in their hometowns." It also says: "When soil falls from heaven, this is called 'gao tu' (high soil). Although the people are laboring hard, they will not suffer harm, meaning that the soil piles up high. The common people laboring hard in the temple are due to too much construction work causing unrest, indicating that there is a plot by the maternal relatives to rebel."

《天鏡》曰：“天雨五穀，是謂禾不熟，人君賦斂重數，故示戒，不出五年，因乏軍糧。”墨子曰：“天雨粟，不肖者食祿，與三公一位。天雨黍、豆、麥、粟、稻，是謂惡祥；不出一年，民負子流亡，莫有所向。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨五穀，其國大飢。”“天雨黍，為政者去，大人出死他國，三年有死將。”又曰：“天雨木奈，兵起四方。”

The Tian Jing says: "Grains falling from heaven indicate that crops will not mature; because the ruler imposes heavy and frequent taxes, the heavenly intelligence sends this warning. Within five years, there will be a shortage of military provisions." Mozi says: "When millet falls from heaven, it signifies that unworthy people receive salaries and hold positions equal to the Three Dukes. When millet, beans, wheat, millet, and rice fall from heaven, it is an ominous sign; within a year, people will carry their children and flee, not knowing where to go." The Yi Fei Hou says: "When grains fall from heaven, the country will suffer a great famine." It also says: "When millet falls from heaven, the ruler will lose his position, great men will flee and die in foreign lands, and within three years, generals will die." It also says: "When the fruit of the apple tree falls from heaven, wars will break out in all directions."

《天鏡》曰：“天雨草，是謂增福，不出三年，外國輸谷。”“天雨草木，為兵喪，萬民流亡。”“天雨木，多風，五穀傷。”墨子曰：“國君失信，專祿去賢，則天雨草。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨草，國有殘，民破亡。”又曰：“君讒臣不和，天雨草木，其歲民多兵死。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨梳，其國有權。”又曰：“天雨釜甑，其國大飢。”墨子曰：“天雨釜甑，歲大穰。”

The Tian Jing says: "Grass falling from the sky signifies an increase in blessings, and within three years, grain will be sent from foreign lands." It also says: "If trees and plants fall from the sky, it indicates military calamities and funerals, with the people wandering and fleeing." It further says: "If wood falls from the sky, there will be much wind, and the five grains will be damaged." Mozi says: "If a ruler breaks his word, monopolizes titles and rewards, and keeps away the virtuous, the sky will send down grass." The Yi Fei Hou says: "If grass falls from the sky, the country will suffer ruin, and the people will break their families and flee." It also says: "If a ruler listens to slanderers and there is discord between ruler and ministers, grass and trees will fall from the sky, and that year many people will die in military calamities." The Yi Fei Hou also says: "If a comb falls from the sky, that country will have a loss of power." It further says: "If pots and steamers fall from the sky, that country will face a great famine." Mozi says: "If pots and steamers fall from the sky, the harvest will be abundant." The same phenomenon is interpreted differently by two sources, one predicting good fortune and the other bad fortune. This book includes both interpretations for reference.

《天鏡》曰：“天雨絲帛，天下有兵喪，不出六年，兵起且亂。”又曰：“天雨布帛，為兵喪，萬民流亡。”墨子曰：“天雨絮，其國將喪，無復有兵。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨藥，其君有咎。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨墨，是謂陰謀，君臣無道讒人進用，不出五年，君亡。”墨子曰：“天雨墨，君陰謀。”

The Tian Jing says: "If silk cloth falls from the sky, there will be military calamities and funerals in the world, not exceeding six years, with military actions starting and chaos arising." It also says: "If cloth falls from the sky, it indicates military calamities and funerals, with the people wandering and fleeing." Mozi says: "If downy fluff falls from the sky, the country will suffer loss, and after that, there will be no strength left for military campaigns." The Yi Fei Hou says: "If medicinal substances fall from the sky, the ruler of the country will suffer misfortune." The Tian Jing says: "If ink falls from the sky, this is called conspiracy. The ruler and ministers will not follow the right path, and those who spread slander will be appointed; within five years, the ruler will perish." Mozi says: "If ink falls from the sky, it indicates the ruler is secretly plotting rebellion."

《天鏡》曰：“天火燒國郭門，其地有謀人慾發。”又曰：“天火焰宗廟，人君不謹敬，淫佚，又數犯冬令也。”又曰：“天火焚朝廟社稷，主有大殃，國將亡。”謹按：後魏時，造作宮室過度，而頻有天災，其後累有兵亂。又曰：“一條天火燒正殿，此必人君不聽諫，戮大臣，佞人持政。”

The Tianjing says: "Heavenly Fire burns the outer gates of the capital city, indicating that there are people plotting rebellion who will soon act." It also says: "Heavenly Fire burns the ancestral temple because the sovereign is not respectful and cautious, indulgent and licentious, and repeatedly violates the proper policies for winter." Furthermore, it says: "Heavenly Fire burns the court's ancestral temple and the altar of the state gods, indicating the sovereign will suffer great calamity and the state will be on the verge of destruction." The compiler notes: During the Northern Wei dynasty, excessive construction of palaces led to frequent natural disasters, followed by continuous military disturbances. It also says: "A Heavenly Fire destroys the main hall, which certainly indicates the sovereign does not listen to advice, punishes ministers, and allows wicked men to dominate the government."

“天火燒街，有大兵。”“天火燒廄，兵大起。”“天火燒民舍，兵方起。”“天火燒野五穀，國將亡。”“天火燒山阜，百姓不安。”“天火燒萬物，天下分裂。”“天火燒牛馬，兵屠裂。”“天火燒水，逆兵方起。”“天火焰大水，木鳴呼，是謂奸起，六月霜降。”“天雨火，為兵喪，萬民流亡。”“天妄下火焚燒，是謂大殃，民負子流亡。”墨子曰：“天下火燔邑城門，其邑被圍。”《易飛候》曰：“天雨火，是謂大凶，民人賣其子東西，莫居其鄉。”又曰：“天官見師為禍，司馬必敗。”司馬謂兵師也。

"Heavenly Fire burns the marketplaces, there will be a great battle. Heavenly Fire burns the stables, military calamities will arise. Heavenly Fire burns civilian houses, military calamities are about to occur. Heavenly Fire burns the crops in the fields, the country will be doomed. Heavenly Fire burns the mountains and hills, the people will not find peace. Heavenly Fire burns all things, the world will be divided. Heavenly Fire burns oxen and horses, military calamities will be severe and bloody. Heavenly Fire burns on the water, rebellious military affairs are about to arise. Heavenly Fire burns on a great body of water, trees emit howling sounds, this is called the rise of wickedness, frost will fall in June. Fire falls from the sky, indicating military calamities and deaths, the people will be scattered and flee. Heaven suddenly sends fire to burn, this is called great calamity, the people carry their children and flee. Mozi said: 'If Heaven sends fire to destroy the gates of a city, that city will be besieged.' The 'Yi Fei Hou' says: 'Fire falling from the sky is a great omen of misfortune, the people sell their children and flee east and west, no one is willing to stay in their hometowns.' It also says: 'The Star of Officialdom shows military calamities, the general in charge of the army will surely suffer defeat.' Here, the term 'general' refers to the commander of the troops."

京房《易候》曰：“王者不顧骨肉，不親九族，則天隕石。”甘氏曰：“無雲而雷，石隕隨地，大可一丈，圍形如雞子，兩頭銳，名曰天鼓，所下之邦，必有大戰，伏尸數萬，不可救。”春秋僖公十六年，隕石於宋五。此時宋襄之應也，望之是星至地為石，其所無光榮之象也。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨雜物，皆為兵喪，萬民流亡。”“天雨戟，是謂不祥，不出三年，天下兵興。”《天鏡》曰：“天雨人，無名字，妄語言，是謂凶殃。不出十二年，必易王。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Hou" says: "When a ruler neglects his relatives and does not closely associate with his nine clans, heaven will send down meteorites." The Gan school (that is, Gan Deng, a Warring States period astronomer from Qi, who was known together with Shi Shen as ancient star observers) says: "When there is no cloud in the sky yet thunder occurs, stones will fall to the ground. The large ones can be up to ten feet in size, shaped like eggs, with sharp ends, called 'Heavenly Drum.' The country where they fall will certainly experience a great battle, with tens of thousands of dead, which cannot be prevented." The "Chun Qiu" records that in the sixteenth year of Duke Xi of Lu, five meteorites fell in the State of Song. This was the fulfillment of the prophecy regarding Duke Xiang of Song's failure to achieve hegemony. When viewed from afar, they are stars in the sky, but when they fall to the ground, they become stones, symbolizing the loss of glory and honor. The "Tian Jing" says: "When various objects fall from the sky, it foretells military calamities and deaths, with the people wandering and fleeing." It also says: "When spears fall from the sky, this is considered an omen of ill fortune; within three years, warfare will arise across the land." The "Tian Jing" also says: "When people fall from the sky, unable to state their names, speaking nonsense, this is called a calamity and misfortune; within twelve years, a new ruler must certainly be established."

《易》曰：“天地貞觀，日月貞明。”《坤卦》曰：“牝馬地類，行地無疆。”《象》曰：“地勢坤，君子以厚德載物。”《淮南子》曰：“重濁者淹滯而為地。”《說文》曰：“元氣初分，重濁為地，萬物所陳列也。”《洪範五行傳》曰：“地者，成萬物者也。”《元命包》曰：“地者，易也。言養物懷任易變化，含吐應節，故其立字士力於一者為地。”

The Great Treatise of the Zhou Changes says: "Heaven and earth display the correct path to people, and the sun and moon illuminate all things with the correct path." The K'un hexagram of the Zhou Changes says: "A mare belongs to the category of earth, walking on the earth without limit." The Image Commentary of the K'un hexagram says: "The earth is broad and harmonious, so the gentleman carries all things with profound virtue." The Huainanzi says: "The heavy and turbid part settles down, becoming earth." Xu Shen's Shuowen Jiezi says: "When the original qi first separates, the heavy and turbid part becomes earth, which is the place where all things are arranged." The Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan says: "So-called earth, is the one that completes all things." The esoteric text Chunqiu Yuanmingbao says: "The character 'di' means 'yi', meaning it nurtures all things, holds and carries them, easily produces change, and its containing and exhaling follows the seasons. Therefore, when the character was created, the characters 'tu' and 'li' were combined above the character 'yi', forming 'di'."

《聖證論》曰：“孔昆云：‘普天之下，華嶽列居，河海所流，丘陵墳衍，總謂之地。’”《素問》曰：“積陰為地，故地者濁陰。”《元命包》曰：“地所以右轉者，氣濁清少，含陰而起遲，故轉右迎天。”謂陰氣也。《考靈曜》曰：“地有四遊，冬至地上北而南三萬里矣，恆動而不止，而人不知，譬如人在大舟行，而人不覺也。”《漢地理志》曰：“保章氏掌天文，以星土辨九州之地，所封之域，皆為分星，以視吉凶。”

Wang Su's "Sheng Zheng Lun" says: "Kong Kun explains: 'Throughout the heavens, the Huashan mountain and other high mountains are arranged among them, rivers, lakes, and seas flow through, hills and high and low plains, all together are called earth.'" The "Huangdi Neijing · Suwen" says: "When yin qi accumulates, it becomes earth, so earth belongs to turbid yin." The esoteric text "Chunqiu Yuanmingbao" says: "The reason the earth rotates to the right is because its qi is turbid and heavy, with little clear and light qi, containing yin qi and moving slowly, so it rotates to the right to conform with the movement of heaven." This refers precisely to yin qi. The esoteric text "Shangshu Kaolinyao" says: "The earth has 'four movements,' at the winter solstice, the earth moves southward for three ten thousand li, constantly moving without stopping, but people are unaware of it, just like sitting on a large boat moving forward, without realizing it oneself." The "Han Shu · Dili Zhi" says: "The Baozhangshi was in charge of astronomy, using the star mansions corresponding to the regions to distinguish the lands of the nine provinces; all the territories granted by enfeoffment had their own corresponding stars, by which to observe auspiciousness and inauspiciousness."

《河圖括地象》曰：“地廣東西二萬八千里，南北二萬六千里。有君長之八極之廣，東西二億三萬三千里，南北二億三萬一千五百里。”《詩含神霧》曰：“天地東西二億三萬三千里，南北二億三萬一千五百里，天地相去億五萬里。”《廣雅》曰：“神農所治四海內，東西九十萬里，南北八十一萬里。唐帝所治九州地，二千四百三十萬八千四十二頃。夏禹所治四海內地，東西二萬八千里，南北二萬六千里。”

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Chart of the Earth's Form" says: "The earth is two million eight thousand li wide from east to west, and two million six thousand li long from north to south. If the eight extremes under the rule of a sovereign are included, then it is two hundred and three million three thousand li wide from east to west, and two hundred and thirty-one million five hundred li long from north to south." Another apocryphal text, "Poetry Containing Divine Mist," states: "The heavens and earth are two hundred and three million three thousand li wide from east to west, and two hundred and thirty-one million five hundred li long from north to south. The distance between heaven and earth is one hundred and five million li." Zhang Yi's "Broad Meaning" says: "The land under the rule of the Divine Farmer (Shennong) is ninety million li wide from east to west, and eighty-one million li long from north to south. The land of the Nine States under the rule of the Great Yu (Taoyao) is two million four hundred thirty thousand eight hundred and four li in area. The land under the rule of the Great Yu (Xiyu) is two million eight thousand li wide from east to west, and two million six thousand li long from north to south."

《命曆序》曰：“神農始立制形。”《甄曜度》曰：“四海東西九十萬里，南北八十萬里。”《山海經》曰：“帝命豎亥，步自東極至於西極、五億十選（郭璞注曰：豎亥，健行人。選，萬也。）九千八百八步。豎亥左手把策，右手指青丘。一曰：禹令豎亥；一曰：五億十萬九千八百步。”《紀年》曰：“穆王東下天下二億二千五百里；西征億有九百里；南征億有七百三里；北征二億七里。”

The apocryphal text "Ming Li Xu" from the Wei Shu says: "Shennong first established the system of territorial divisions." The apocryphal text "Luoshu Zhenyao Du" says: "Within the four seas, the distance from east to west is ninety million li, and from north to south is eighty million li." The "Shanhai Jing" says: "The heavenly emperor ordered Shu Hai to measure from the eastern extreme to the western extreme step by step, and he took five hundred million ten thousand nine thousand eight hundred and eight steps. Shu Hai held counting rods in his left hand and pointed to Qingqiu with his right hand. Another account says that it was Da Yu who ordered Shu Hai to measure; another account says that the measurement was five hundred million ten thousand nine thousand eight hundred steps." The phrase "Shu Hai, a vigorous traveler. Xuan, ten thousand" is a marginal note from the original text, quoting the explanation of the Jin dynasty scholar Guo Pu, who said that Shu Hai was a person skilled in long-distance travel, and "xuan" means "ten thousand." The "Zhu Shu Ji Nian" says: "King Mu of the Zhou dynasty traveled east across the world for two hundred million two thousand five hundred li, west for one hundred million nine hundred li, south for one hundred million seven hundred and three li, and north for two hundred million seven li."

《山海經》曰：“天地之東西，二萬八千里，南北二萬六千里。出水者八千里，受水者八千里。”《博物志》曰：“地祗之位，起形於崑崙，縱廣萬里，高萬一千里，神物所生，聖人仙人之所集。崑崙之東北，地轉下三千百里，有八玄幽都，方二十萬里。地下有四柱，柱廣十萬里，有三千六百軸，犬牙相舉也。”《呂氏春秋》曰：“凡四海之內，東西有五億九萬七千里，南北亦有五億九萬七千里。”《淮南子》曰：“禹乃使大章，步自東極至於西極，二億三萬三千五百里七十五步，使豎亥自北極至於南極，二億三萬三千五百里七十五步。”《古今通論》曰：“夫地者，厚三萬里，凡八極之廣，東西二十三萬三千里，南北二十三萬一千五百里。”

The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: "The expanse of heaven and earth is two million eight thousand li in width from east to west, and two million six thousand li in length from north to south. The source of rivers is eight thousand li, and the place that holds all the rivers is eight thousand li." Zhang Hua's Records of Miscellaneous Things says: "The position of the earth spirits begins from the Kunlun Mountains; the Kunlun Mountains extend one hundred thousand li in length and width, and are one million and ten thousand li high, being the place where extraordinary things are born and where sages and immortals gather. To the northeast of Kunlun, the terrain turns downward three thousand and one hundred li, where there are eight places called Xuanming Youdu, each covering an area of twenty thousand li. Under the earth there are four pillars, each ten thousand li wide, and another three thousand six hundred axes, interlocking like dog teeth to support it." The Book of Master Liezi says: "In the whole world, the distance from east to west is five million nine thousand seven hundred li, and the distance from north to south is also five million nine thousand seven hundred li." The Huainanzi says: "Great Yu then sent Da Zhang to measure from the eastern extreme to the western extreme, which was two hundred million three thousand three hundred and fifty li and seventy-five steps; he also sent Shu Hai to measure from the northern extreme to the southern extreme, which was also two hundred million three thousand three hundred and fifty li and seventy-five steps." The General History and Comprehensive Discussion says: "The earth is three hundred thousand li thick; the territory within the eight extremes extends two million three hundred and thirty thousand li from east to west, and two million three hundred and fifteen thousand li from north to south."

京氏曰：“地動，陰高者為下，下者為陽。此人君俱進，君子為小人同倫，任小人為上宰，置君子於下位，此陰高而陽卑也。故反也害及大人。”《河圖秘徵篇》曰：“地之動，大臣逆。”《雒書雒罪級》曰：“土震不言眾虐盛。”《尚書夏侯說》曰：“地大臣盛，將有為下不靜，兵數動也。”《運斗樞》曰：“地之動，知並孳，君臣蹶施（宋均曰：蹶，動也；施，放縱之也。）陰喧譁。”又曰：“地震之異，陰倍主。”

Jing Fang said, "Earthquake indicates that the yin energy has risen to a high position, while the yang energy, which should be above, has descended to the lower position. This is like a ruler and his ministers being on equal footing, and the virtuous and the petty men being mixed together. When the petty men are appointed as chief ministers and the virtuous are placed in lower positions, this is called yin being high and yang being low. When yin and yang are reversed in this way, calamity will affect great persons." The esoteric text "He Tu Mi Zheng Bian" says, "Earthquake indicates rebellion among ministers." The esoteric text "Lu Shu Luo Zui Ji" says, "When the earth trembles without sound, it is a sign of widespread cruelty." The "Shang Shu Xia Hou Shuo" says, "Earthquake indicates that ministers have great power, and there will be unrest among those in lower positions, with frequent military conflicts." The esoteric text "Chun Qiu Yun Dou Shu" says, "When the earth trembles, it indicates that factions are growing, and the ruler and ministers are restless and unrestrained, with yin energy being rampant." The note in the text, "Jue means movement; shi means unrestrained," is from the original commentary, quoting Song Jun of the Eastern Han dynasty. It also says, "This kind of earthquake, as a change, indicates that yin energy has doubled to overpower the ruler."

《保乾圖》曰：“地動，下逆，無陽自燭：則退強臣，誅大過，免近戚。”《潛潭巴》曰：“地動搖，臣下謀上。”《運斗樞》曰：“后族專權，地動搖宮。”《春秋公著傳》曰：“臣專政，陰而行陽，故地震。”《穀梁》曰：“地動，大臣盛，將動有變。”（變謂反也）夏氏曰：“地動，民不安，搖擾流移。”劉向《洪範傳》曰：“地動者，臣不臣也，臣下大貴也。”

The Wei text "Xiao Jing Bao Gan Tu" says: "Earthquake is a sign that the lower ranks are rebellious and that the yang energy cannot manifest clearly; the remedy is to dismiss strong and tyrannical officials, punish those with serious crimes, and remove the power of close relatives and relatives by marriage." The Wei text "Chun Qiu Qian Tan Ba" says: "When the earth shakes, it indicates that ministers plot against the sovereign." "Chun Qiu Yun Dou Shu" says: "When the maternal relatives seize power, the earth shakes and the palace is shaken." "Chun Qiu Gong Yang Zhuan" (the original text says "Gong Zhe Zhuan") says: "When ministers seize control of the government, they do the deeds of yang while being of yin nature, hence an earthquake." "Chun Qiu Gu Liang Zhuan" says: "Earthquake indicates that the ministers are powerful and there will be a change." ("Change" refers to rebellion, as noted in the original text's marginal note.) Xiahou said: "Earthquake indicates that the people are restless, experiencing turmoil and disturbance, leading to migration." Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: "Earthquake is caused by ministers not following their proper conduct and ministers becoming too exalted."

董仲舒《對災異》曰：“地者，陰之類也；動者，後宮臣下專，主之盛陽衰，故致疾疫。當制後宮，齊御百宮以救之。”京房《對災異》曰：“地者，大臣之位，當載安萬民，懷藏物類；而動搖者，此不欲為君載安萬民，動搖不安，思欲篡殺也。”京房《傳》曰：“地動蹶城，天下亡。”《天鏡》曰：“地動，世主失，不出千日。”

Dong Zhongshu's "Response on Calamities and Anomalies" says: "The earth belongs to the category of yin; when it moves, it signifies that the harem and ministers are exercising undue power, the sovereign's strong yang energy is diminishing, thus causing plague. One should restrain the harem and discipline the officials, thereby dispelling the calamity." Jing Fang's "Response on Calamities and Anomalies" says: "The earth is the position of the ministers; it should bear and shelter the people, and contain and embrace all things. Now, however, it moves, indicating that it refuses to bear and shelter the people, is unstable, and harbors thoughts of usurpation and murder." Jing Fang's "Transmission" says: "When the earth moves and collapses cities, the world will perish." "The Heavenly Mirror" says: "When the earth moves, it signifies that the current sovereign will lose his position, and this will come to pass within a thousand days."

京房曰：“地動，蹶屋、室、人，天下兵行。”“地移，或西或東，不列王公，此謂不公其行也。”“地動，動床大，歲大熟。”“地動，教令從臣下出，必有流身飢亡。”“地動，有赤水出，司馬戮。”“地動，疾驚牛馬，禽獸變動，天子失地。”“地獨動於靈廟中及朝廷，邑有亂臣，且凶。”“國無忠臣，動動不已。”“地比四五日動，人主不安。”“地數動，殺人，賊臣暴。”

Jing Fang said: "If the earth moves and causes houses and dwellings to collapse, crushing people, there will be military campaigns in the country. "If the ground shifts, either westward or eastward, not in order of the ranks of the princes and nobles, this is called unjust conduct. "If the earth moves and the beds and couches shake violently, that year will be a great harvest. "If the earth moves, the orders and commands will originate from the ministers, and there will certainly be people who flee and die of starvation. "If the earth moves and red water gushes out, the commander of the military, the司马, will be executed. "If the earth moves, causing oxen and horses to panic and wild animals to behave abnormally, the Son of Heaven will lose his territory. "If the earth moves only in the spirit temple and within the palace, there are traitorous ministers in the city, and the situation is dangerous. "If the country has no loyal ministers, the earth will shake continuously. "If the earth shakes for four or five consecutive days, the ruler will not be at peace. "If the earth shakes repeatedly and injures people, it indicates the presence of wicked and tyrannical ministers."

“地以春動，有音，歲不昌。以夏動，有音，人主有喪。以四月動，有音，五穀不熟，民大飢。以五月動，有音，人主有喪，民流亡。以六月動，有音，少老多死，歲惡。以秋動，有音，大兵起。以九月動，有音，殃大。以冬動，有音，人主有喪，兵起。以十月動，有音，其邑有功。以十一月動，有音，其邑有大兵喪及民飢亡。以十二月動，有音，其邑有兵行。”

When the earth trembles with sound in spring, the harvest will be poor. If it trembles with sound in summer, the ruler will suffer a death. If it trembles with sound in the fourth month, the five grains will not mature, and the people will suffer from great famine. If it trembles with sound in the fifth month, the ruler will suffer a death, and the people will flee. If it trembles with sound in the sixth month, many young and old will die, and the year will be bad. If it trembles with sound in autumn, there will be a great military conflict. If it trembles with sound in the ninth month, there will be great calamity. If it trembles with sound in winter, the ruler will suffer a death, and military conflict will arise. If it trembles with sound in the tenth month, that city will achieve great success. If it trembles with sound in the eleventh month, that city will suffer great military disaster, great loss, and the people will be hungry and flee. If it trembles with sound in the twelfth month, that city will have military movement.

《地鏡》曰：“地動三年，其國民流，東西動十日以，上必有兵。”“地動千里，是謂陰盛陽衰，人君犯四時，興土功，不出年，國有喪。”“地動，壞城郭宮室，是謂陰道失，四海有兵喪。”《抱朴子》曰：“軍中地動，必大戰，或有謀反。”張衡上書曰：“地動者，民擾也。”《易坤靈圖》曰：“地大動，搖世主之宮，國不安。”

The *Di Jing* says: "If the earth continues to tremble for three years, the people of that country will scatter; if there is a tremor in the east-west direction for more than ten days, there will certainly be military conflict." The *Di Jing* also states: "If the earthquake affects a distance of a thousand li, this is called yin excess and yang decline, caused by the ruler violating the commands of the four seasons and extensively constructing buildings. Within a year, the country will suffer loss." Another passage says: "If the earth moves and destroys cities and palaces, this is called yin losing its defense, and there will be military conflicts and loss throughout the four seas." The *Bao Pu Zi* by Ge Hong says: "If an earthquake occurs in the army, there will certainly be a great battle or someone plotting rebellion." Zhang Heng wrote: "An earthquake is a sign that the people will become restless." The *Yi Kun Ling Tu* says: "A severe earthquake shaking the palace of the contemporary ruler will bring instability to the country."

《國語》曰：“周幽王二年，西周三川皆震，伯陽父曰：‘周將亡矣；夫天地之氣，不失其序，若過其序，民之亂也。陽伏而不能出，陰迫而不能烝。於是在地震。今三川實震，陽失其所也。’”

The Guoyu records that in the second year of King You of Zhou, earthquakes occurred simultaneously in the watersheds of the Jing, Wei, and Luo rivers within the Western Zhou territory. Bo Yang Fu said, "The Zhou dynasty is about to perish. The energies of heaven and earth have their own established order; once they exceed this order, it is a premonition of the people's disorder. Yang energy is hidden below and cannot emerge, while Yin energy presses upon it and prevents it from rising, thus causing an earthquake. Now the three rivers have indeed experienced real earthquakes, which signifies that Yang energy has lost its proper position."

《史記》曰：“周幽王二年，西周三川皆震，（三川，涇、渭、洛也。）伯陽甫曰：‘周將亡矣，天地之氣不失其序，若過其序，民亂之也。陽伏而不能出，陰迫而不能烝，於是有地震。今三川實震，是陽失其所而填陰也。陽失而在陰，原必塞；原塞，國必亡。夫水土演而民用也；土無所演，民乏財用，不亡何待。昔伊、洛竭而夏亡，河竭而商亡；今周德若二代之季矣，其川原又塞，塞必竭，川竭山必崩；夫國必依山川，山崩、川竭，亡之徵也。若國亡，不過十年，數之紀也。’”

The Records of the Grand Historian records that in the second year of King You of Zhou, earthquakes occurred in all three rivers within the Western Zhou state. (Original commentary: the three rivers refer to the Jing River, Wei River, and Luo River.) Bo Yangfu said, "The Zhou dynasty is about to perish. The energies of heaven and earth do not disorder their order; once they do, it is because the people have disturbed it. Yang energy is hidden below and cannot emerge, while Yin energy presses upon it and cannot rise, thus causing an earthquake. Now the three rivers have indeed shaken violently, which indicates that Yang energy has lost its proper position and is being filled by Yin energy. When Yang energy loses its place and is forced down by Yin, the water sources will surely become blocked; when the water sources are blocked, the state will surely perish. When the water and soil are smooth and nourishing, the people have means for their livelihood; when the land is not nourished, the people lack resources, so how can the state not perish? In the past, the Yi River and Luo River dried up, and the Xia dynasty perished; the Yellow River dried up, and the Shang dynasty perished. Now the virtue of the Zhou dynasty is similar to that of the late Xia and Shang dynasties, and the sources of the rivers have also been blocked. When the rivers are blocked, they will surely dry up; when the rivers dry up, the mountains and hills will certainly collapse. A state must rely on mountains and rivers; mountain collapses and river dry-ups are signs of its demise. If a state is about to perish, it will not take more than ten years, for ten is the final number of a cycle."

《左傳》曰：“昭公二十三年八月丁酉，南宮極震，萇弘謂劉文公曰：“君其勉之，先君之力可濟也。周之亡也，其本川震；今西王之大臣亦震，天棄之矣，東王必大克。注子朝在王城，故謂西王；敬王居狄泉，在王城之東，枚曰東王。”“漢安帝永初元年，郡國十八地震。地者，陰也。法當安靜。今乃越陰之職，專陽之政，故應以震動。”

The *Zuo Zhuan* records that in the twenty-third year of Duke Zhao of Lu, in the eighth month on the day of Dingyou, a collapse occurred at the southernmost part of the royal capital of the Zhou dynasty. Chang Hong told Lord Liu Wen Gong: "You must strive, for the achievements of your ancestors can still be realized. In the past, when the Zhou dynasty was about to fall, there was an earthquake in its source river; now, an earthquake has occurred at the place where the great minister of the western king resides, which indicates that heaven has abandoned him, and the eastern king will surely achieve great victory." The original commentary notes: "Prince Wang Zhaocao controlled the royal capital, so he is referred to as the 'Western King'; King Jing of Zhou resided in Diquan, which is to the east of the royal capital, so he is called the 'Eastern King.' (The original text 'Mie says Eastern King' should be 'Guo says Eastern King.') It also records: 'In the first year of Yongchu of Emperor Han An Di, an earthquake occurred in eighteen commanderies and states. Earth belongs to yin, and by nature should be quiet. Now it has exceeded the role of yin and taken over the affairs that belong to yang, so heaven responded with an earthquake."

“漢獻帝初平年中，京師地震。董卓以問蔡伯喈，伯喈對曰：‘地動陰盛，大臣逾制之所致也。公乘青蓋車，遠近以為非宜為。’先是山東豪傑並起，卓懼，乃徙天子都長安，燔燒洛陽宮室，自為太師，號曰尚父，乘青蓋車，金華爪畫兩輪，故諫之，卓乃更乘金華皂蓋車。”《地鏡》曰：“地動而折，有急令，近臣謀主，兵革興。”

In the early years of the reign of Emperor Xian of Han, during the initial period of the Chuping era, an earthquake occurred in the capital. Dong Zhuo took this event to consult Cai Yong, who replied, "Earthquake is caused by excessive Yin energy, resulting from ministers overstepping the established rules. You riding a green canopy chariot, people from near and far consider it inappropriate." Previously, heroes from the east had risen up in rebellion, and Dong Zhuo was afraid, so he moved the emperor to establish the capital in Chang'an, burned the palaces of Luoyang, took upon himself the title of Taishi, styled himself as the Supreme Elder, and rode a green canopy chariot, with golden plum blossom patterns on the wheels of the chariot. Therefore, Cai Yong used the heavenly signs to advise him; Dong Zhuo then changed to ride a chariot with golden plum blossom and black canopy. The "Di Jing" says, "When the earth trembles and cracks, there will be urgent decrees issued, ministers plotting against the sovereign, and military conflicts arising."

《秘徵篇》曰：“三公秉執，卦錄在心，則地坼。”《考異郵》曰：“臣恣，地裂坼。”《漢含孳》曰：“大夫專權，兵陵地坼。”《海中占》曰：“主好聽讒言，廢置大臣，女子為政，刑法誅殺不以以道理，則地坼。”京房《對災異》曰：“陰倍陽，被地坼；臣叛君，則義廢；此人君不親，上下不厚，致此災也。不救，則骨肉相殘，父子分離，羌夷叛去。”

The River Chart Secret Records states: "When the Three Ministers monopolize power and are preoccupied with omens and diagrams, the earth will split open." The esoteric chronicle "Spring and Autumn Examination of Differences" says: "When ministers act recklessly, the earth will split." The esoteric chronicle "Spring and Autumn Han Containing Fertility" says: "When a minister oversteps his authority, military calamities will approach, and the earth will split." The Han dynasty star divination text "Sea Divination" says: "When a ruler delights in listening to slander, arbitrarily appoints and dismisses officials, allows women to interfere in politics, and applies punishments and executions without reason, the earth will split." Jing Fang's "Response to Portents" says: "When the yin force exceeds the yang force, the earth will split; when ministers rebel against the ruler, the relationship between ruler and minister will be abandoned. This is a calamity caused by the ruler's lack of closeness to people and the thinning of the bond of benevolence and righteousness between superiors and inferiors. If not corrected, there will be internal strife among family members, father and son will be separated, and the Qiang and Yi tribes will rebel and leave."

《演孔圖》曰：“地坼，陰畔不靜，陽不施，臣下專恣，故天下以謀去主。”《潛潭巴》曰：“地裂，下分威執，曰臣不臣。”《漢書》曰：“和帝永元七年，趙國易陽，地裂。”京房《易傳》曰：“地坼裂者，臣下分離，不肯相從，災及王公。”張衡上書曰：“土裂者，威分。”《月令》曰：“季秋行冬令，則土地分裂。”《尚書說》曰：“黃帝相亡，則地裂。”

The Wei text "Chunqiu Yanzhongtu" says: "The earth cracks, indicating that the yin side is unwilling to be still, and the yang energy cannot spread, so there are people plotting to remove the sovereign." The Wei text "Chunqiu Qiantanba" says: "The earth cracks, meaning the lower ranks have divided the sovereign's authority, which is called the minister not being a minister." The "Han Shu" says: "In the seventh year of Yongyuan during the reign of Emperor Huan of Han, the land in Yiyang County of Zhao State cracked." Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "The earth cracking indicates that the ministers are divided and not united, and the disaster will affect the princes." Zhang Heng wrote: "The land cracking indicates the authority is divided." The "Liji · Yueling" says: "In the ninth month of the third season, if winter policies are implemented, the land will crack." The "Shangshu Shuo" says: "When the Yellow Emperor's minister died, the land cracked."

京房《易妖占》曰：“陰倍陽，地分坼。”又曰：“地分，下叛主。賢明者退，不肖者進。”又曰：“地劈大者，此謂兵起天下。分離長一里以上，及成谷，其中有水且至。所謂地劈者，坼也。”又曰：“地劈於邑，城毀廢；劈於邑朝，天下有大兵，其邑獨亡，春夏無傷；劈於朝廷，邑分離為數鄉；劈於宮殿，室邑社稷滅亡；劈於社稷，乃大祠，其下邑有大殃；劈於兵冢，下民大死亡。”《抱撲子》曰：“軍中地裂，急徙居，不則軍敗。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "When the yin energy doubles over the yang energy, the earth will split." It also says: "When the earth splits, it indicates that those in lower positions will betray the sovereign; the virtuous will retreat into seclusion, while the wicked will be promoted." It further says: "When the earth splits greatly, this is called the outbreak of military forces. If the crack is longer than a li, or even forms a valley, water will surge out. What is called 'earth splitting' is the same as 'earth cracking.'" It also says: "If the earth splits in the area of a city, the city will be destroyed and abandoned; if it splits in the official buildings of the city, there will be great military calamities across the land, and this particular city will suffer destruction. If the splitting occurs in spring or summer, it will not cause harm. If it splits in the area of the court, the city will be divided into several towns. If it splits in the palace area, the palaces, cities, and state altars will all be destroyed. If it splits in the state altar area, a great sacrifice must be held, and the subordinate cities will suffer great calamities. If it splits in the burial grounds of the military, many people among the populace will die." Ge Hong's "Bao Pu Zi" says: "If the earth splits in a military camp, the camp should be moved quickly, otherwise the army will suffer defeat."

《地鏡》曰：“地裂劈，臣下有分離；若在城門，驕臣從中起，邑有謀兵；地裂朝廷，分其鄉部；地裂社稷，天下有大兵；地裂市里居家，不出三年，大兵起，國有憂，王道中忽坼；不出四年，王道絕，有分天地。居地分裂一里以上，或山阜破，丘有水，天下流亡。地劈有音，及見雜物形，若於朝廷、宗廟、丘社、道中咸為兵亂、國亂；地坼有聲，天下不安，國分，包兵起。地夏裂一丈以上，殺五穀。秋裂，民流亡。冬裂，大凶；兵起，國主亡。”

The "Earth Mirror" says: "If the earth cracks, it indicates that ministers and subjects will have divided loyalties and betray each other. If the crack occurs at the city gate, arrogant ministers will rebel within the city, and the city will face military plots. If the earth cracks in the imperial court, it will lead to the division of its districts. If it cracks at the altar of the state gods, there will be great military calamities throughout the land. If it cracks among the markets, lanes, and dwellings of the people, within three years, great military forces will rise, and the state will face troubles. If the earth suddenly cracks in the middle of the path of the Way, within four years, the Way will be broken, and the whole country will be in disarray. If the crack is more than one li in length, or if mountains and hills collapse, or water rises from hills and mounds, people throughout the land will flee. If the earth cracks and makes a sound, or if various strange shapes appear, and this happens in the imperial court, ancestral temples, altars, or roads, it indicates chaos and disorder in the state and country. If the earth cracks and makes a sound, the whole country will be unstable, the state will split, and military disasters will arise. If the earth cracks more than a zhang in summer, the five grains will suffer. If it cracks in autumn, the people will flee. If it cracks in winter, it will be a great calamity; military actions will arise, and the king will be defeated."

京房《易妖占》曰：“地以正月劈，有傷歲。以二月劈，人主吉，歲樂。以三月劈，歲熟，吉。以四月劈，人主吉，歲熟，五穀登。以五月劈，五穀收。以六月劈，此歲定。經七月劈，此驚駭，兵起發。以八月劈，兵大作，民流亡。以九月劈，煞兵行，人主恐亡。以十月劈，有亡，邑有兵。以十一月劈，民不安，兵大作。以十二月劈，人主大降將凶。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "If the earth cracks in the first month, it will damage the harvest. If it cracks in the second month, the ruler will be fortunate and the people will be happy. If it cracks in the third month, the harvest will be abundant, which is auspicious. If it cracks in the fourth month, the ruler will be fortunate and the harvest will be abundant, with the five grains being collected. If it cracks in the fifth month, the five grains will be harvested. If it cracks in the sixth month, the year will be peaceful. If it cracks in the seventh month, it will cause alarm, and military actions will be launched. If it cracks in the eighth month, military actions will increase greatly, and the people will flee. If it cracks in the ninth month, armies will be sent out for warfare, and the ruler will be anxious and may face downfall. If it cracks in the tenth month, there will be losses and deaths, and cities will suffer from military disasters. If it cracks in the eleventh month, the people will be restless, and large-scale military actions will occur. If it cracks in the twelfth month, the ruler will suffer a great demotion, and there will be calamities."

《潛潭巴》曰：“地鳴而坼，君不專政，臣叛作。”《易坤靈圖》曰：“黃之人精，兵起，地大裂，土化為人。”《易妖占》曰：“地劈有狀，掌掌闌闌，此兵急。邑分有音，哅哅亂，天下不安，傳驛相從。”“地分坼，軍破將急出，去不可止。”漢陽嘉二年六月，雒陽宣德亭地坼，長八十五丈，時李固對策，以為陰類專恣，將有分離之象，上帝以戒陛下。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of Qiantanba say: "The earth first emits a sound and then cracks open, indicating that the sovereign cannot alone control the government, and ministers will rise up in rebellion." The esoteric book Yi Kunlingtu says: "The essence of a yellow human figure appears, military affairs arise, the earth cracks open, and soil transforms into human forms." The Yi Yaozhan says: "When the earth cracks and reveals shapes, with patches and intersections, this indicates urgent military affairs. Cities split and produce sounds, noisy and chaotic, the world is unstable, and official documents are continuously transmitted through relay stations." "When the earth splits, it signifies the defeat of the army, generals must urgently break through and flee, and once they leave, it cannot be stopped." In the second year of Yangjia during the reign of Emperor Shun of Han, in June, there was a crack in the area of Xuande Pavilion in Luoyang. At that time, Li Gu responded to the imperial summons and submitted a policy proposal, believing that this was a sign of excessive dominance by the yin forces, indicating an impending disintegration, and that heaven used this to warn the emperor.

《地鏡》曰：“地自陷，天王亡地。”《書緯遠期授》曰：“赤帝亡，五郡陷。”《秘徵篇》曰：“邑之淪，主勢奪。”《運斗樞》曰：“邑之淪，陰吞陽，下相屠。”《潛潭巴》曰：“天子無深鑿地，深則民苦，邑反淪而下。”《保乾圖》曰：“地淪，山亡之兆。亂如塗，禍漫漫。”《地鏡》曰：“地無故自下，天下亂，兵大起。”《易妖占》曰：“地自下，其君亡。”又曰：“家無故宅自陷下，此必人亡其邑君矣。”《地鏡》曰：“地陷沒入，人君為臣下所擒。”

The book "Di Jing" says: "The earth naturally collapses, indicating the loss of territory by the heavenly king." The book "Shu Wei Yuanqi Shou" says: "The red emperor's defeat leads to the fall of five commanderies." The book "He Tu Mi Zheng Pian" says: "The collapse of cities and towns signifies the loss of power by the ruler." The book "Chun Qiu Yun Dou Shu" says: "The collapse of cities and towns is a sign of yin energy overpowering yang energy, with the lower ranks killing each other." The book "Chun Qiu Qian Tan Ba" says: "The Son of Heaven should not dig too deeply into the land, for digging too deep will cause suffering to the people, and cities will collapse." The book "Xiao Jing Bao Qian Tu" says: "The collapse of the land is a sign of the disappearance of mountains; calamity is like a mud pit, difficult to escape from, and disaster spreads endlessly." The book "Di Jing" says: "The earth collapses naturally, leading to great chaos and large-scale warfare." The book "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "If the earth collapses naturally, the ruler of the country will perish." It also says: "If a house collapses naturally without cause, it indicates that the person will lose his position as a local ruler." The book "Di Jing" says: "If the earth collapses and buries people, it signifies that the ruler will be captured by his ministers."

《異苑》曰：“晉武帝太康五年，宗廟地欻陷，無故梁自折，凡宗廟，所以承祖先嗣，承世不利，安居摧陷，是縹絕之徵也。”京房曰：“山無故自下降，天下兵作。”“晉太康八年七月，大雨，殿前陷，方五尺，深數丈，中有破船。”

Liujingshu 《Yiyuan》 says: "In the fifth year of Taikang of Emperor Wu of Jin, the ground of the ancestral temple suddenly collapsed, and the beams of the building broke off without cause. All ancestral temples are used to honor ancestors and continue the lineage; now the transmission of the dynasty is unfavorable, and the place of residence has collapsed and broken, which is a sign of the end of the state's fortune." Jingfang says: "If mountains and hills suddenly descend without cause, there will be military conflicts in the world." "In the seventh month of the eighth year of Taikang of Emperor Wu of Jin, heavy rain fell, and the ground in front of the hall collapsed, forming a pit five feet in diameter and several zhang in depth, and inside there was a broken boat."

京房《妖占》曰：“地以正月自下，且有大事。以三月自下，水月火至。以五月自下，不吉，天下有兵，民兵離鄉。以六月自下，大水，且至多不常。以七月自下，天下兵大行。以八月自下，天下大搖，民多行。以九月自下，天下有亡主。以十月自下，天下有兵。以十一月自下，有水且行。以十二月自下，大水，且移者傷。”《地鏡》曰：“春地陷，有大水，魚行人道。夏陷，兵起，國分，有非常水。秋陷，有大兵。冬陷，有兵、水。”

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: "If the earth sinks in the first lunar month, there will be a major event. If it sinks in the third lunar month, floods and fires will follow one after another. If it sinks in the fifth lunar month, it is not auspicious, and there will be warfare across the land, with common people and soldiers leaving their homes. If it sinks in the sixth lunar month, there will be a great flood, and the flood will be numerous and abnormal. If it sinks in the seventh lunar month, there will be large-scale warfare across the land. If it sinks in the eighth lunar month, the whole land will be greatly shaken, and many people will migrate. If it sinks in the ninth lunar month, the ruler will perish. If it sinks in the tenth lunar month, there will be warfare. If it sinks in the eleventh lunar month, there will be a great flood about to overflow. If it sinks in the twelfth lunar month, there will be a great flood, and those who have migrated will suffer damage." The "Di Jing" says: "If the earth sinks in spring, there will be a great flood, and fish will swim on the roads where people walk. If the earth sinks in summer, warfare will arise, the state will split, and there will be abnormal floods. If the earth sinks in autumn, there will be large-scale warfare. If the earth sinks in winter, there will be military calamities and floods."

京房《易傳》曰：“火出地，其國大出水，其君死。”《述異記》曰：“姚興永和十年，華山東界地燃，廣百餘步，草木煙枯，井谷沸竭，置生物皆熟，民殘之徵也。晉惠帝光照元年五月，范陽國北，地燃可爨。至九月而驃騎范陽王司馬虓薨。十一月，惠帝用食而崩。懷帝即位，太傅東海王司馬越殺太宰，河間王司馬顒專柄朝政，又尋死遂沮。永嘉之亂，海淪殪越之亂，副亦皆殄滅。石勒焚越之尸，此其應也。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "Fire emerging from the ground indicates that the country will experience much water, and its ruler will die." The "Shu Yi Ji" records: "In the tenth year of Yonghe during the Later Qin dynasty, there was a fire underground in the eastern part of Huashan, covering more than a hundred paces. The grass and trees were scorched and withered by the smoke, and the wells, ditches, and valleys boiled and dried up. If living things were placed on top, they would be cooked by the heat. This was a sign that the people would suffer great calamity. In the first year of Guangxi during the Jin Hu Di reign (the original text says 'Guangzhuo'), in May, there was a fire underground to the north of Fanyang Kingdom, which could be used for cooking. By September, the general of the骠骑 (Piaoqi) army and the prince of Fanyang, Sima Xiao, died. In November, Emperor Hu Di died after eating. After Emperor Hui Di ascended the throne, the Grand Tutor, Prince Sima Yue of the Eastern Sea, killed the Grand Grand Minister, and Prince Sima Yong of Hejian held the government in his own hands. Soon after, he died and the affairs collapsed. During the Yongjia turmoil, those involved in Sima Yue's rebellion were all destroyed. Shi Le burned the body of Sima Yue, which was the fulfillment of that underground fire."

《有秦錄》曰：“初秦之未亂也，關中大然，無火而煙氣大起，月餘不滅。”慕容熙光始四年，遼東新郡地燃，五年八月，為遼西太守邵顏聚徒反，至九月敗，誅熙。建始元年正月，華陽郡地燃，是歲，熙僭號之七年也。其年五月，為尚書郎苻進謀反，事覺誅至，九月熙出逸，妻瘞，進餘黨推之賊高和為主，據城反，熙馳還，不得入，遂逃。不免，為和所誅。後三年，宋高祖平齊，冬，盡坑其眾，二燕並滅，慕容氏殲焉。此皆不祥之應也。”

The "Record of Qin" says: "At the beginning, when the Former Qin had not yet experienced great chaos, there was widespread underground burning in the Guanzhong region, with no visible flames but thick smoke rising, lasting for more than a month without stopping." In the fourth year of Guangshi of the Later Yan, a newly established郡 in Liao Dong also experienced underground burning; in the eighth month of the fifth year of Guangshi, the governor of Liaoxi, Shao Yan, gathered a group to rebel, but by September he was defeated and killed by Murong Xi. In the first year of Jiashiyuan, the underground in Huayang郡 burned, and this year was the seventh year since Murong Xi had usurped the imperial title. In the fifth month of that year, the official Shushelang Fu Jin plotted rebellion, but his plot was uncovered and he was executed; by September, Murong Xi fled, his wife was hastily buried, and Fu Jin's remaining followers elected the rebel leader Gao He as their leader, and they rebelled against the city. Murong Xi rode hastily back but could not enter the city, so he had to flee, eventually dying at the hands of Gao He. Three years later, the Son of Heaven Liu Yu of the Song dynasty pacified the area of Qi, and in winter he killed all his followers, leading to the simultaneous fall of both Yan states, and the Murong clan was completely wiped out. All these were fulfillments of ominous signs.

《地鏡》曰：“地中哅哅有聲，人君好興兵相致。”《潛潭巴》曰：“地鳴有聲，天子不知國，政任婦人。”“地中有聲洞洞者，邑亡。”京房《易候》曰：“地中訩訩，若嗷嗷，為凶祥，所愛子死，邦有殃。”

The "Di Jing" says: "If there is a clamorous and noisy sound coming from beneath the earth, it indicates that the sovereign is fond of military campaigns and incites mutual conflicts." The esoteric text "Chunqiu Qiantanba" states: "If the earth produces a sound, it signifies that the Son of Heaven does not understand the way of governing the state and entrusts state affairs to women." It also says: "If there is a hollow and echoing sound from beneath the earth, that city will be destroyed." Jing Fang's "Yi Hou" says: "If there is a sound from beneath the earth, like the cries of many people, it is a sign of danger, the beloved son will die, and the state will suffer calamity."

《地鏡》曰：“地忽生毛，天下亂，兵起。”《易妖占》曰：“地生毛，百姓勞苦。”《史記》曰：“趙王遷時，人訛言曰：‘秦為笑，趙為號，以為不信，視地之生毛。’後五年，地果生毛，七年而秦滅趙。”

The book "Di Jing" says: "If hair suddenly grows on the ground, there will be great chaos throughout the land and military conflicts will arise." The book "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "If hair grows on the ground, it indicates the people will suffer hardship." The "Records of the Grand Historian" records that during the reign of King Zhao Wang Qian of Zhao, a folk saying spread among the people: "The state of Qin is laughing, while Zhao is crying; if you do not believe it, just look to see if hair grows on the ground." After five years, hair indeed grew on the ground; by the seventh year, Qin had destroyed Zhao.

《地鏡》曰：“地出血，為兵亂，國亡。”“地忽生血，國將虛。”《潛潭巴》曰：“地嘔血，禍之極效也。”《地鏡》曰：“地無故赤如燃，兵大起。”《河圖》曰：“地赤如丹，血流泛泛。”《易妖占》曰：“功臣戮厥，地生血。”王隱《晉書》曰：“祖約為豫州，府內地皆如丹，其後果凶。”京房曰：“地生血，賊必來攻，凶急，去忽留。”

The "Di Jing" says: "Blood gushing from the ground indicates military chaos and the downfall of the state." It also says: "Blood suddenly appearing on the ground signifies the state's decline." The "Chun Qiu Qian Tan Ba" says: "The earth vomiting blood is a sign that calamity has reached its peak." The "Di Jing" says: "If the ground turns red without cause, like it is burning, great military conflict will arise." The "He Tu" says: "If the ground is red as cinnabar, there will be blood flowing everywhere." The "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "When a meritorious minister is killed, blood will appear from the ground." Wang Yin's "Jin Shu" of the Eastern Jin dynasty says: "When Zu Jie was appointed governor of Yu州, the ground in the official premises turned red like cinnabar, and later a great misfortune indeed occurred." Jing Fang says: "When blood appears from the ground, enemies will certainly attack, the danger is urgent, one should leave quickly and must not stay."

《地鏡》曰：“地忽生光，如火照，憂國危亡。”《潛潭巴》曰：“地生光，女謁行。”“地忽生光，小人進，賢人滅。”（注云：近驗敬暉桓范等被逐，而小人用事，於時洛陽城東白馬寺側地光如鏡，行者影現。）京房《易候》曰：“不顧骨肉，不親九族，厥德已衰，地出光。”

The "Di Jing" says: "If the ground suddenly emits light, like fire shining, it indicates national worries and impending calamity." The "Chunqiu Qiantanba" says: "If the ground emits light, it signifies the prevalence of a trend where women intervene in politics through petitions. It also says: 'If the ground suddenly emits light, petty men will be promoted while virtuous men will be excluded.' The note in the original text says: In recent times, the verification was the demotion of people like Jing Hui and Han Yanfan, while petty men held power. At that time, the ground near the eastern part of Luoyang City, by the side of the White Horse Temple, emitted light like a mirror, and the shadows of pedestrians were reflected on it. (The original text says 'Huan Fan,' which should refer to Han Yanfan.) Jing Fang's "Yi Hou" says: "If the ruler does not care for his relatives and does not get close to his kin, his virtue has already declined, and the land will emit light."

《地鏡》曰：“地無故自成泉，天下亂，兵起，大水。”《易候》曰：“天不下雨而地自出泉，其國大水，亂從中生。”《地鏡》曰：“湧泉忽出，臣為禍害，或以疾；不過三年，國憂有喪。”“家中庭忽出泉者，當富。”

The "Earth Mirror" says: "The earth does not spontaneously produce springs without cause; when the world is in great disorder and military conflicts arise, there will be great floods." The "Divination of the Book of Changes" says: "Although it is not raining, springs suddenly emerge from the ground; the country will suffer great floods, and calamity will arise from within." The "Earth Mirror" also says: "If springs suddenly burst forth, it indicates that ministers will create disasters, or there will be an epidemic; within three years, the country will face calamity and loss." It also says: "If a spring suddenly appears in a family's courtyard, that family will become wealthy."

《明鏡》曰：“地忽自長，在道中，天下不通；地長邑下，其治毀；地長市中，國有利；地長社稷，王者增土；地長洲嶼，上亦增土；地無故自長，如丘隴、室屋，其上或生草木，皆失地，亡民。春長者，吉昌。卒長有生樹，天王安；有死樹，國王亡。地夏長，年中熟。秋長，殺生，易地。冬長，國不安，地上卒息者，大人將起。”

The Mingjing says: "If the ground suddenly rises on its own, if it rises in the middle of the road, it indicates that the roads throughout the country will be blocked; if it rises beneath a city, it indicates that the administrative center there will be destroyed; if it rises in the middle of a market, it indicates that the country will gain profit; if it rises at the altar of the state gods, it indicates that the king will expand his territory; if it rises to form islands or islets, it indicates that the sovereign will also expand his territory. The ground does not rise on its own without reason; if it rises in the shape of a grave mound or a building, with grass and trees growing on top, these indicate the loss of territory and the loss of people. If it rises in spring, it is auspicious and prosperous. If it suddenly rises with living trees on top, the heavenly king will be at peace; if it rises with dead trees on top, the king will perish. If the ground rises in summer, the harvest will be moderate. If it rises in autumn, it indicates a harsh season that harms life, and there will be a change of territory. If it rises in winter, the country will be unstable; if the ground suddenly rises and falls like a person breathing, it indicates that a great person will soon rise to prominence."

《地鏡》曰：“大澤中地無故自營宮，女患，位卑者暴貴。”《地鏡》曰：“地無故生雜物，天下亂，兵起，大水。”《易傳》曰：“地自生卵，將軍且疾。”

The "Di Jing" says: "In a large lake or marsh, if the land naturally forms the shape of a palace, it indicates a calamity caused by a woman and a lowly person suddenly rising to prominence." The "Di Jing" also says: "If the land naturally produces various miscellaneous growths, there will be great chaos across the land, military conflicts will arise, and there will be a great flood." The "Yi Zhuan" says: "If eggs appear naturally in the earth, it indicates that a general will fall ill."

京房《易傳》曰：“地自生石，軍可久居。”《地鏡》曰：“石生平野，庶人逆謀，興兵，臣反，不出三月，齊兵起。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "Stones growing naturally on the ground indicate that the army can stay here for a long time." The "Di Jing" says: "Stones appearing on flat open plains indicate that common people will plot rebellion, raise troops to cause disturbances, and officials will rebel. Within three months, military actions will all break out."

京房《易傳》曰：“地自出五穀，將軍得大道，生黃色，將軍得土地。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "If five grains grow naturally from the land, it indicates that the general can practice the great way and achieve great accomplishments; if the grains that grow are yellow, it indicates that the general will obtain land."

張揖《廣雅》曰：“朱明、曜靈、東君，日也。”《兵法》曰：“姓張名長生，字子房；一名子明，字長史，能者知便不畏白刃。”皇甫謐《年曆》曰：“日以晝明，名曰曜靈。”《春秋元命苞》曰：“日之為言實也，節也，含一開度立節，使物咸別，故謂之日。言陽佈散合如一，故其立字四合共一者，為日。望之度尺，以千里立。”（實者周圓缺合一言其身者）

Zhang Yi in Guangya says: "Zhu Ming, Yao Ling, and Dong Jun are all alternative names for the Sun." The military treatise says: "The Sun is surnamed Zhang and named Changsheng, with the courtesy name Zifang; also known as Ziming, with the courtesy name Changshi; those who understand this can discern opportunities in affairs and fear not even the edge of a blade." Huang Fu Mi in Nian Li says: "The Sun shines in daylight, hence it is called 'Yao Ling'." The esoteric text Chunqiu Yuanmingbao says: "The character 'ri' (sun) derives its meaning from 'shi' (substance) and 'jie' (measure): it contains the principle of unity, opens up measurements, establishes the seasons, and distinguishes all things, hence it is called 'ri'. This refers to the dispersal of yang energy and its return to unity, so when the character was created, it was written with four sides enclosing and one stroke in the center. The apparent diameter of the sun is one chi, calculated according to the proportion of one inch per thousand li." The note in parentheses says: the term 'shi' refers to the sun's round and complete form, with fullness and deficiency unified, speaking to its shape.

《春秋元命苞》曰：“天尊精為日，陽以一起，日以發紀。尊故滿，滿故施，施故仁，仁故明，明故精，精故外光，故火日外景，陽精外吐。”《春秋元命苞》曰：“元開陽為天精，精為日，散而分佈為大辰天一。陽成於三，故日中有三足烏。”《淮南天文問詰》曰：“積陽之熱氣生火，火氣之精者為日。日者，陽之主也。故陽燧見日則燃而為火。又曰日者，天之使也。”《河圖》曰：“在天為日月，在地為水火。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: Origins of the Mandate says: "The supreme essence of Heaven condenses into the Star of Brightness and Prestige. Yang energy begins from 'one,' and the Star of Brightness and Prestige thus initiates the era. Because it is supreme, it is complete; because it is complete, it can give; because it can give, it has benevolence; because it has benevolence, it is bright; because it is bright, it is pure; because it is pure, it shines outward. Therefore, fire and the Star of Brightness and Prestige both emit light outward, and the essence of yang energy is released outward." The Spring and Autumn Annals: Origins of the Mandate also says: "The original energy creates yang, becoming the essence of Heaven; the essence condenses into the Star of Brightness and Prestige, and disperses to become great constellations and the star Tianyi. The number of yang is completed in three, so there are three crows within the Star of Brightness and Prestige." The Huainanzi: Astronomical Training says: "The accumulated yang energy produces heat, which transforms into fire. The most refined part of the fire energy is the Star of Brightness and Prestige. The Star of Brightness and Prestige is the master of yang energy, so by facing the Star of Brightness and Prestige with a yang mirror, one can capture fire." It also says: "The Star of Brightness and Prestige is the messenger of Heaven." The Yellow River Chart says: "In the heavens it is manifested as the sun and moon; on the earth it is manifested as water and fire."

楊泉《物理論》曰：“日者，天陽之精也。夏則陽盛，故晝長，夜短；冬則陰盛，故夜長，晝短；春秋則陰陽均，故晝夜等。”張衡《靈憲》曰：“日者，陽精之宗，積而成鳥，象烏有三趾，陽之類，其數奇也。日譬猶火也，月譬猶水也，火則外光，水則含景，故宣明於晝，納明於夜，如是瑕，必露其匿，人君得，仰則焉。”

The Jin scholar Yang Quan in his work "Wuli Lun" said: "The Sun is the essence of the yang energy in the sky. In summer, yang energy is strong, so the day is long and the night is short; in winter, yin energy is strong, so the night is long and the day is short; in spring and autumn, yin and yang are balanced, so day and night are equal." Zhang Heng in his "Ling Xian" said: "The Sun is the master of yang essence. Yang essence accumulates to form the shape of a bird, resembling a three-legged crow, belonging to the category of yang, hence taking an odd number. The Sun is like fire, and the Moon is like water: fire emits light outwardly, while water contains reflected images, so the Sun announces brightness during the day, and the Moon receives brightness at night. If there are blemishes on the Sun's surface, they will inevitably reveal what is hidden; the sovereign thus gains insight and should look up and take it as a model."

石氏曰：“日光旁照十萬二千里，經三十二萬四千里，同一百萬二千里。暉經千里，（周髀曰：經一千二百五十里）周三千里。（徐整長曆曰：“日經千里，周三千里。”周三千里與石氏同也。）張衡《靈憲》曰：“日、月，其當天七百三十分之一。”（徐整長曆曰：日下於天七千里。）

The Shi school (Shi Shen, a scholar from the State of Wei during the Warring States period, the master of ancient star divination) said: "The sunlight spreads in all directions for ten million two thousand li, with a diameter of thirty-two million four thousand li, resulting in a circumference of one million two thousand li. The diameter of the sun's own light is one thousand li, with a circumference of three thousand li." Among these, "The Zhou Bi Suan Jing says: the diameter is one hundred twenty-five li," and "Xu Zheng's Chang Li says: 'The sun's diameter is one thousand li, with a circumference of three thousand li.' The circumference of three thousand li is the same as that of the Shi school," are all original notes from the text: The Zhou Bi Suan Jing states the diameter as one hundred twenty-five li; Xu Zheng, a scholar from the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, in his Chang Li, says the sun's diameter is one thousand li and its circumference is three thousand li, which matches the figure of three thousand li from the Shi school. Zhang Heng's Ling Xian says: "The apparent diameter of the sun and the moon each occupies one seven hundred and thirtyth part of the celestial sphere." The note in the parentheses is also an original note from the text: Xu Zheng's Chang Li says the sun is seven thousand li below the sky.

揚雄《方言》曰：“日暈為躔歷行也。”（躔，踐也）《春秋元命包》曰：“日行一度以立序，行三百六十五度四分度之一。”《春秋元命包》曰：“日月左行周天二十三萬里。”《河圖》曰：“天元十一月甲子夜半，朔，日月俱起牽牛初度。推歷考宿，正月在營室；二月在奎；三月在胃；四月在畢；五月在東井；六月在柳；七月在翌；八月在角；九月在房；十月在尾；十一月在斗；十二月在牽牛。”

Yang Xiong's "Fangyan" says: "A solar halo is called 'chan,' referring to the sun's sequential movement." The note in the original text explains: "Chan" means to tread or walk along. The chronological text "Chunqiu Yuanmingbao" states: "The sun moves one degree each day to establish order, completing a full cycle of 365 and 1/4 degrees." "Chunqiu Yuanmingbao" also says: "The sun and moon move to the left, completing a full circle around the sky of 230,000 li." The "He Tu" says: "Starting from the midnight conjunction of the new moon on the eleventh month of the heavenly stem on the Jiazi day, the sun and moon both begin from the first degree of the Cow Mansion. To arrange the calendar and determine the mansions for each month: the first month is in Yingshi, the second in Kui, the third in Wei, the fourth in Bi, the fifth in Dongjing, the sixth in Liu, the seventh in Yi, the eighth in Jiao, the ninth in Fang, the tenth in Wei, the eleventh in Dou, and the twelfth in Chou."

《河圖》曰：“日月五星同道，過牽牛、女、虛、危、室、璧、奎、婁、胃、昂，皆行其南之九尺；畢北七尺；觜參北一丈三尺；貫東井，出鬼南六尺，出柳北六尺，出七星張北一丈三尺，出翌軫北一丈三尺，貫角亢出氐南一尺，出房左右股間，出心北二尺，出尾北九尺，出箕北一尺，貫南斗，復至牛。此日、月、五星行常道也。

The Yellow River Chart says: "The sun, moon, and five stars travel along the same path. When passing through the constellations Niou, Xu女, Xu, Wei, Yingshi, Dongbei, Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, they pass through nine feet south of each constellation. When passing through Bi constellation, they pass through seven feet north of it. When passing through Zi and Can constellations, they pass through thirteen feet north of them. They pass through Dongjing constellation; when exiting Yugu constellation, they pass through six feet south of it. When exiting Liu constellation, they pass through six feet north of it. When exiting Qixing and Zhang constellations, they pass through thirteen feet north of them. When passing through Yi and Zhen constellations, they pass through thirteen feet north of them. They pass through Jiao and Kang constellations. When exiting Di constellation, they pass through one foot south of it. They pass through the two sides of Fang constellation. When exiting Xin constellation, they pass through two feet north of it. When exiting Wei constellation, they pass through nine feet north of it. When exiting Ji constellation, they pass through one foot north of it. Then they pass through Nandou and return to Niou constellation. This is the regular path of the sun, moon, and five stars."

《洛書》曰：“日、月、五星行歷左角內，行左亢外四尺；行歷左氐外；行房兩股間；行心內六尺；行尾內十八尺；行箕內十二尺；行斗柄中一尺；行牛中；行女外四尺；行虛外六尺；行危外十三尺；行室外十六尺；行璧外十三尺；行奎外十三尺；行婁外九尺；行胃外十尺；行井中；行鬼外十四尺；行柳內九尺；行觜內八尺；行參內十八尺；行七星內十五尺；行張內十八尺；翌內十六尺；行軫內十六尺。在上者為北，此日月五星之正也。”

The Luo Writing says: "The sun, moon, and five stars pass through the inner side of the Left Horn mansion, pass through the outer side of the Left Neck mansion four chi; pass through the outer side of the Root mansion; pass through between the two sides of the Room mansion; pass through the inner side of the Heart mansion six chi; pass through the inner side of the Tail mansion eighteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Winnowing Basket mansion twelve chi; pass through the center of the Ox mansion; pass through the outer side of the Girl mansion four chi; pass through the outer side of the Emptiness mansion six chi; pass through the outer side of the Rooftop mansion thirteen chi; pass through the outer side of the Enclosure mansion sixteen chi; pass through the outer side of the Eastern Wall mansion thirteen chi; pass through the outer side of the Legs mansion thirteen chi; pass through the outer side of the Bond mansion nine chi; pass through the outer side of the Stomach mansion ten chi; pass through the center of the Well mansion; pass through the outer side of the Ghost mansion fourteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Willow mansion nine chi; pass through the inner side of the Turtle Beak mansion eight chi; pass through the inner side of the Three Stars mansion eighteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Seven Stars mansion fifteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Extended Net mansion eighteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Wings mansion sixteen chi; pass through the inner side of the Chariot mansion sixteen chi. The term 'above' refers to the north. This is the correct path of the sun, moon, and five stars."

《易坤靈圖》曰：“王者至德之蔭，則日月若連珠璧。”（鄭玄曰：至德之蔭，謂將興之時；連璧無朔望之異也。）《尚書考靈曜》曰：“天地開闢，曜滿舒元，曆紀名月，首甲子冬至，日、月、五緯，俱起牽牛初，日月若懸璧，五星若連珠。”

The book of divination "Yi Kun Ling Tu" says: "When a king possesses supreme virtue, he shelters the world beneath his grace, and the sun and moon move in order, like strung jade and circular jade pendants." Within the brackets is a note from the original text, quoting Zheng Xuan's explanation: "Supreme virtue" refers to the time when the dynasty is about to rise; "strung jade pendants" means the sun and moon move in parallel without differences in new and full moons. The divination text "Shang Shu Kao Ling Yao" says: "At the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, light and radiance were abundant, and the primordial qi expanded. The calendar system was established, beginning with the winter solstice on the Jiazi day. The sun, moon, and the five planets of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all started from the first degree of the Ox mansion. The sun and moon are like suspended jade pendants, and the five stars are like strung pearls."

《淮南天文問詰》曰：“太陰元始，建於甲寅。（大元，初有日月五星之時也）日月俱入營室五度。（日月如連璧，五星如貫珠，皆右行）天一以始，建七十六歲，日月復以正月入營室五度，無餘分，（餘分，少餘也）名曰一紀。天一凡二十紀千五百二十歲大終，日月星辰復始甲寅之元。日月行危一度而歲有奇四分度之一；（危，北方宿也）故四歲而積千四百六十一日而復合故舍，八十歲而復。

The Huainanzi: Astronomical Treatise says: "The beginning of the Taiyin calendar is established at Jiayin." (Original note: The so-called "Great Beginning" refers to the time when the sun, moon, and five stars first appeared.) "The sun and moon both enter the fifth degree of the Yisu mansion." (Original note: The sun and moon are like connected jade discs, and the five stars are like strung pearls, all moving to the right.) "Starting from Tianyi, after seventy-six years, the sun and moon again enter the fifth degree of Yisu mansion in the first month, without any remaining fractional parts." (Original note: "Remaining fractions" refer to small decimal parts.) "This is called one jì. Heaven has twenty jìs, totaling one thousand five hundred and twenty years, and the sun, moon, and stars return to the original beginning at Jiayin. The sun and moon pass through one degree of the Weishu mansion, and one year exceeds a quarter of a degree." (Original note: Weishu is the mansion in the north.) "Therefore, after four years, one accumulates one thousand four hundred and sixty-one days and returns to the original mansion position, and after eighty years, it forms a complete cycle."

故曰子午卯酉為二繩；丑寅、辰巳、未申、戌亥為四鉤。東北為報德之維，西南為倍陽之維，東南為常羊之維，西北為瞦之維。日冬至則井北中繩，陰氣極，陽氣萌，故曰冬至為德。日夏至則斗南中繩，陽氣極，陰氣萌；故曰夏至為刑。陰氣極則北至，北極下至黃泉，故不可以鑿地穿井，萬物閉藏，蟄蟲首穴，故曰德在室。陽氣極則南至，南極上至朱天，故不可以夷邱上屋，萬物蕃息，五穀兆長，故曰德在野。（夷，平也）

Therefore, the two straight lines of Zi and Wu, and Mao and You are called "two ropes." The four groups of directions of Chou and Yin, Chen and Si, Wei and Shen, and Xu and Hai are called "four hooks." The northeast direction is called the dimension of reporting virtue, the southwest direction is called the dimension of doubling yang, the southeast direction is called the dimension of Changyang, and the northwest direction is called "Tie Tong" dimension (the original text here has a rare character following "Tie," but the current version of the "Huainanzi" reads "Tie Tong" dimension). The sun reaches the east well mansion north side's central rope on the winter solstice, and the yin qi reaches its extreme, while yang qi begins to sprout, so the winter solstice is associated with virtue. The sun reaches the south dipper mansion south side's central rope on the summer solstice, and the yang qi reaches its extreme, while yin qi begins to sprout, so the summer solstice is associated with punishment. When yin qi reaches its extreme, it is the northern limit, with the north pole beneath reaching deep into the yellow spring, so at this time, one should not dig wells; all things are closed and hidden, and insects retreat to their holes, so virtue is within the house. When yang qi reaches its extreme, it is the southern limit, with the south pole above reaching the highest heaven, so at this time, one should not level hills or repair roofs; all things flourish, and the five grains sprout, so virtue is in the fields. (The note in the original text: "Yi" means to level.)

《漢書天文志》曰：“凡君行急，則日行疾；君行緩，則日行遲；日行不可指而知也。故以二至二分之星為候。日東行，星西轉。冬至昏奎八度中；夏至氐十三度中；春分柳一度中；秋分牽牛三度七創建中；此其正行。七日行疾，則星西轉疾，事勢然也。故過中則疾，君行急之感也。不及中則遲，君行緩之象也。至月行則以晦朔決之；日冬則南，夏則北，冬至於牽牛，夏至於東井。日之所行為中道，月、五星皆隨之。”《禮緯》曰：“天子服中，禮從容中；則日、月、五星不敢縱橫。”京房《別對災異》：“日行房，乘三道，太平上道，癉平中道，霸世行下道雲。”

The Book of Han's Records of Astronomy says: "Whenever a ruler acts hastily, the Sun moves quickly; when a ruler acts slowly, the Sun moves slowly. The movement of the Sun cannot be directly indicated, so it is measured by the stars at the meridian during the solstices and equinoxes. The Sun moves eastward, while the stars move westward. At sunset on the winter solstice, the eighth degree of the constellation Qiu is at the southern meridian; at the summer solstice, the thirteenth degree of the constellation Di is at the meridian; at the spring equinox, the first degree of the constellation Liu is at the meridian; and at the autumn equinox, the third degree of the constellation Niu is at the meridian. This is the normal movement of the Sun. When the Sun moves quickly, the stars also move westward quickly, which is the natural order. Therefore, if a star passes the position it should be at the meridian, it indicates that the Sun is moving quickly, which is an omen of a ruler acting hastily; if a star does not reach the position it should be at the meridian, it indicates that the Sun is moving slowly, which is a sign of a ruler acting slowly. As for the Moon's movement, it is determined by the new and full moon. The Sun moves southward in winter and northward in summer. At the winter solstice, the Sun reaches the constellation Niu; at the summer solstice, it reaches the constellation Dongjing. The path the Sun follows is called the middle path, and the Moon and the five planets all follow it." (The words "seven creations" and "seven days of rapid movement" are errors from the original text's transmission.) The Liji's Waiwen says: "When the Son of Heaven's attire conforms to the middle path and his rites and conduct are composed and measured, then the Sun, Moon, and five planets dare not move out of order." Jingfang's "Differentiation of Portents and Abnormalities" says: "When the Sun passes through the constellation Fang, one should observe which of the three paths it is following: in a time of peace and prosperity, it follows the upper path; in a time of decline and disorder, it follows the middle path; and in the time of a hegemon, it follows the lower path."

許慎《說文》曰：“晷，日景也。”劉熙《釋名》曰：“晷規也，如規畫也。”《周禮地官司徒》曰：“以土圭之法，測土深，正日景，以求地中。日南則景短多暑；日北則景長多寒；日東則景夕多風；日西則景朝多陰。日至之景，尺有五寸，謂之地中；天地之所合也，四時之所交也，風雨之所會也，陰陽之所和也。”

Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" says: "Gui is the shadow of the sun." Liu Xi's "Xi Ming" says: "Gui is like a compass, resembling the shape drawn by a compass." The "Zhou Li · Di Gao · Si Tu" says: "Using the method of the soil圭 to measure the depth and distance of the land, correct the sun's shadow, and find the center of the earth. In places where the sun is偏南, the shadow is short and the heat is abundant; in places where the sun is偏北, the shadow is long and the cold is abundant; in places where the sun is偏东, the shadow is like in the evening and the wind is abundant; in places where the sun is偏西, the shadow is like in the morning and the dampness is abundant. The place where the sun's shadow is one foot five inches on the summer solstice is called 'zhong di'; it is where the qi of heaven and earth meet, the qi of the four seasons connect, the winds and rains gather, and yin and yang harmonize."

（按土圭者，非削土為其圭象，訓為度也。置圭度景，謂之土圭。日南則景短多暑者，謂夏至日躔南方井宿也。日北則景長多寒，謂冬至日躔北方斗宿也。日東則景夕多風者，謂秋分日躔東方角宿也，故秋分祭月也。日西則景朝多陰者，謂春分日躔西方婁宿也，故春分祭朝日也。古來天圖春秋二分並交婁角也。諒知夕者，秋分之異名，朝者，春分之別號。景長稱南至，景短稱北至，今日南則景短，日北則景長者，先論日躔宿也，後論日躔景也。）

This entire passage is a commentary from the original text, explaining: The so-called "tu gui" (earth measure) does not mean carving earth into the shape of a gui; instead, the character "tu" should be interpreted as "du" meaning measure. Placing a jade gui to measure the shadow of the sun is called "tu gui." "When the sun is in the south, the shadow is short and there is much heat" refers to the summer solstice when the sun passes through the Well mansion (Niujing) in the south. "When the sun is in the north, the shadow is long and there is much cold" refers to the winter solstice when the sun passes through the Dipper mansion (Doushu) in the north. "When the sun is in the east, the shadow at dusk is long and there is much wind" refers to the autumn equinox when the sun passes through the Horn mansion (Jiaoxu) in the east, hence the moon is worshipped at dusk during the autumn equinox. "When the sun is in the west, the shadow at dawn is long and there is much shade" refers to the spring equinox when the sun passes through the Bond mansion (Loushu) in the west, hence the sun is worshipped at dawn during the spring equinox. Since ancient celestial maps show that both the spring and autumn equinoxes occur at the Bond mansion and the Horn mansion, it is clear that "xi" is another name for the autumn equinox and "chao" is another name for the spring equinox. The term "nan zhi" refers to the longest shadow, while "bei zhi" refers to the shortest shadow. However, here it says that when the sun is in the south, the shadow is short, and when the sun is in the north, the shadow is long, because the first part refers to the constellation the sun passes through, while the second part refers to the length of the shadow cast.

《周髀》曰：“周髀長八尺，其勾之損益，一寸千里。”張衡《靈憲》曰：“懸天之晷，薄地之儀，皆移千里差一寸。”鄭司農曰：“土圭之長，尺有五寸，以夏至日立八尺表，其景適與圭等，謂之地中。今潁川陽城地為然。”（按晉太康《地記》曰：河南陽城縣是謂土中，夏至景尺有五寸，所以為候也。《南越志》曰：南景在日之南，五月立表望之，日在表北，景在表南，交州日景較北三寸，林邑九寸一分地。）鄭玄曰：“凡日景於地千里差一寸，景尺有五寸者，南戴日下萬五千里也。”

The "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" says: "The height of the Zhou Bi is eight feet, and its shadow increases and decreases, with each inch corresponding to a thousand li." Zhang Heng's "Ling Xian" says: "The shadow cast by the sun in the sky and the shadow measured by the g Guyi on the ground, both change by one inch for every thousand li of distance." Zheng Zhong (known as Zheng Si Nong) says: "The length of the soil g Guyi is one foot five inches; on the summer solstice, if a pole eight feet high is erected, its shadow is exactly equal to the length of the g Guyi, then that place is called the 'middle of the earth.' Now, Yangcheng County in Yingshui Commandery is exactly like this." The note in parentheses is from the original text: the Jin Dynasty's "Tai Kang Di Ji" says that Henan Yangcheng County is the so-called "middle of the earth," with a shadow length of one foot five inches on the summer solstice, which can be used for measuring the seasons; the "Nan Yue Zhi" says that the shadow is to the south of the sun, and on the fifth month, when a pole is erected, the sun is to the north of the pole, and the shadow falls to the south of the pole. In Jiaoxia, the shadow is three inches north of the pole, while in Linyi, it is nine inches and one part north of the pole. Zheng Xuan says: "For every thousand li the shadow changes by one inch on the ground; a place where the shadow is one foot five inches long is fifteen thousand li south of the place directly facing the sun."

《洪範五行傳》曰：“日月之行，則有冬、有夏，而為寒暑；若南失節，晷過而長，則為寒；退而晷短，則為燠。人君急，則晷進疾而寒，舒則晷退遲而燠，故曰急恆燠若。一曰，晷長為潦，晷短為旱，奢者為扶；扶者，邪臣進，正臣疏，君子不足，奸人有餘。”《漢書天文志》曰：“冬至，日南極，晷長，南不極，則溫不害；夏至，日北極，晷短，北不極，則寒為害。故《書》曰：“日月之行，則有冬有夏也；故治變於下，日月運於矣。”

The "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan" says: "The movement of the sun and moon has a season of winter and a season of summer, thus creating cold and heat. If the sun moves southward beyond its proper measure, the shadow becomes longer than usual, resulting in cold; if it retreats and the shadow becomes shorter, it results in heat. If a ruler acts hastily, the shadow moves forward quickly and the weather becomes cold; if a ruler is lenient, the shadow retreats slowly and the weather becomes warm. Therefore, it is said, 'hastiness leads to heat.' Another view is that a long shadow indicates flooding, and a short shadow indicates drought. Excess in either case is called 'fu'; 'fu' refers to the appointment of wicked ministers and the distancing of upright ministers, with virtuous men being insufficient and villains in excess." The "Han Shu · Tian Wen Zhi" states: "On the winter solstice, the sun reaches the southern end of the sky, and the shadow is long; if the sun does not reach the southern extreme, warmth will not become harmful. On the summer solstice, the sun reaches the northern end of the sky, and the shadow is short; if the sun does not reach the northern extreme, cold will become harmful. Therefore, the "Shang Shu" says that the sun and moon have their seasons of winter and summer. Political changes occur below, and the sun and moon respond accordingly above."

《易緯》曰：“日冬至，人主不出宮室，寢兵聽樂，日擊黃鐘之磬，公卿大夫列奏音侍，則陰陽之晷如度。故夏至之禮，如冬至之禮。”又曰：“冬至之日，樹八尺之表，日中視晷，晷如度者，則其歲美，人民和順；晷不如度者，則其歲惡，人民多偽言，政令為之不平。晷進則水，晷退則旱。進一尺二寸則月蝕，退則日蝕。月食則正王臣之行，日蝕則正人主之道。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Winter Solstice, the sovereign remains in the palace, ceases military actions and listens to music, striking the bell of Huangzhong. The ministers and officials take turns to perform music and stand in attendance. Thus the yin and yang shadows align with the normal measure. Therefore, the rites of Summer Solstice are the same as those of Winter Solstice." It also says: "On the day of Winter Solstice, set up a gnomon of eight feet in height, and observe the shadow at noon: if the shadow length matches the normal measure, then that year will have good harvests and the people will be harmonious; if the shadow length does not match the normal measure, then that year will have poor harvests and the people will speak falsely, and the government orders will also be unjust. If the shadow is ahead, it indicates flooding; if the shadow is behind, it indicates drought. If the shadow is ahead by one foot two inches, an eclipse of the moon will occur; if the shadow is behind by one foot two inches, an eclipse of the sun will occur. When an eclipse of the moon occurs, the conduct of the sovereign's ministers should be corrected; when an eclipse of the sun occurs, the sovereign's governance should be rectified."

又曰：“冬至晷長一丈三尺。（按周髀曰：長三尺五寸。劉向曰：長一丈一尺四寸。何承天長一丈三尺。祖暅銅表長一丈三尺。今曆景長一丈尺七寸五分。）當至不至，則旱多溫病；未當至而至，則多病暴逆，心痛，應至夏至。”《易緯》曰：“小寒晷長一丈二尺四分。（按周髀長一丈二尺五寸小分五。何承天長一丈二尺四寸八分。祖暅長一丈二尺四寸三分。今曆景長一丈二尺二寸八分。）當至不至，先小旱後大水，丈夫多病喉痺；未當至而至，多病身熱，來年麻不熟。”

The "Yi Wei" also says: "On the day of Winter Solstice, the shadow is one zhang three chi long." (The note in the original text lists various measurements from different sources: The "Zhou Bi" says three chi five cun, Liu Xiang says one zhang one chi four cun, He Chengtian says one zhang three chi, Zu Xun's bronze gnomon says one zhang three chi, and the current dynasty's calendar measurement says one zhang zero seven cun five fen.) "If a solar term arrives late, there will be more drought and more cases of feverish diseases; if it arrives early when it should not, there will be more cases of sudden illness and heart pain, and this will be verified by the Summer Solstice." The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Minor Cold, the shadow is one zhang two chi four fen long." (The note in the original text says: The "Zhou Bi" says one zhang two chi five cun and five fen, He Chengtian says one zhang two chi four cun and eight fen, Zu Xun says one zhang two chi four cun and three fen, and the current dynasty's calendar measurement says one zhang two chi two cun and eight fen.) "If a solar term arrives late, there will first be a small drought and then a great flood, and men will suffer more from throat blockage; if it arrives early when it should not, there will be more cases of body heat, and the following year's hemp will not mature."

《易緯》曰：“大寒晷長一丈一尺八分。（按周髀長一丈五寸一分小分四。何承天長一丈一尺三寸四分。祖暅長一丈一尺二寸。今曆景長一丈一尺一寸五分。）當至不至，則先大旱後大水，麥不成，病厥；未當至而至，多病，上氣，［口蓋］腫。”《易緯》曰：“立春晷長一丈一寸二分。（按周髀長一丈五寸二分小分三。何承天長九尺九寸一分。祖暅長九尺八寸。今曆景長九尺六寸二分。）當至不至，兵起，麥不成，病瘧、疾；未當至百至，多病熛疾。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Great Cold, the shadow is one zhang, one chi, eight cun and eight fen long." (Original note: The "Zhou Bi" records it as one zhang, five cun and one fen and four small fractions; He Chengtian recorded it as one zhang, one chi, three cun and four fen; Zu Xun recorded it as one zhang, one chi, two cun; and the current dynasty's calendar measurements record it as one zhang, one chi, one cun and five fen.) "If the solar term has not yet arrived but the weather is already appropriate, there will first be a severe drought followed by a great flood, the wheat will not mature, and people will suffer from厥逆 (a condition of cold extremities and fainting). If the solar term arrives prematurely when it should not, there will be many diseases, qi rising upward, and swelling of the upper palate." The "Yi Wei" also states: "On the day of Start of Spring, the shadow is one zhang, one cun and two fen long." (Original note: The "Zhou Bi" records it as one zhang, five cun and two fen and three small fractions; He Chengtian recorded it as nine zhang, nine cun and one fen; Zu Xun recorded it as nine zhang, eight cun; and the current dynasty's calendar measurements record it as nine zhang, six cun and two fen.) "If the solar term has not yet arrived but the weather is already appropriate, there will be military conflicts, the wheat will not mature, and people will suffer from malaria. If the solar term arrives prematurely when it should not, there will be many cases of fiery heat and acute illnesses."

《易緯》曰：“雨水（是今曆啟蟄也）晷長九尺一寸六分。（按周髀長九尺五寸三分小分二。何承天長八尺二寸八分。祖暅長八尺一寸七分。今曆景長八尺七寸。）當至不至，旱麥不熟，多病心痛；未當至而至，多病斃。”《易緯》曰：“驚蟄（是今曆雨水也）晷長八尺二寸。（按周髀長八尺五寸四分小分一。何承天長六尺七寸二分。祖暅長六尺六寸二分。今曆景長六尺五寸四分。）當至不至，則霧稚禾不穗，老人多病疾瘧；未當至而至，多病癰疽，脛腫。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Rain Water (note: this is the name used in the current dynasty's calendar for the beginning of the start of spring), the length of the shadow is nine chi, one cun, and six fen." (note: The "Zhou Bi" says nine chi, five cun, and three fen, with two small fractions; He Chengtian says eight chi, two cun, and eight fen; Zu Geng says eight chi, one cun, and seven fen; the current dynasty's calendar measurement is eight chi, seven cun.) "If the solar term is not reached on time, there will be drought, the wheat will not ripen, and people will suffer from heart pain; if it arrives too early, there will be many deaths from illness." The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Start of Spring (note: this is the name used in the current dynasty's calendar for Rain Water), the length of the shadow is eight chi, two cun." (note: The "Zhou Bi" says eight chi, five cun, and four fen, with one small fraction; He Chengtian says six chi, seven cun, and two fen; Zu Geng says six chi, six cun, and two fen; the current dynasty's calendar measurement is six chi, five cun, and four fen.) "If the solar term is not reached on time, there will be heavy fog, young rice will not produce ears, and the elderly will suffer from malaria; if it arrives too early, there will be many cases of boils, and swelling in the lower legs."

《易緯》曰“春分晷長七尺二寸四分。（按周髀長七尺五寸五分。劉向長七尺二寸六分。何承天長五尺三寸九分。祖暅長五尺三寸七分。今曆景長五尺三寸三分。）當至不至，先旱後水，歲惡禾不熟，多病痺；未當至而至，多病疚，身癢。”《易緯》曰“清明晷長六尺二寸八分。（按周髀長六尺五寸五分小分五。

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Spring Equinox, the shadow is seven chi two cun four fen long." (Original note: The "Zhou Bi" says seven chi five cun five fen, Liu Xiang says seven chi two cun six fen, He Chengtian says five chi three cun nine fen, Zu Geng says five chi three cun seven fen, and the current dynasty's calendar measurement is five chi three cun three fen.) "If a solar term arrives late, there will be drought first and then flood, resulting in poor harvests, unripe crops, and many people suffering from痹症. If a solar term arrives early when it should not, there will be many chronic illnesses and itching on the body." The "Yi Wei" then says: "On the day of Qingming, the shadow is six chi two cun eight fen long." (Original note begins with: The "Zhou Bi" says six chi five cun five fen with five small parts...) The text of this section of the manuscript abruptly ends here, with the note and divination for Qingming not yet completed, and the subsequent text continuing in the next section.

何承天長四尺二寸五分。祖暅長四尺二寸五分。今曆景長四尺三寸四分。）當至不至，菽豆不熟。多病疾試，振寒；未當至而至，多病暴死。”《易緯》曰：“穀雨長晷長五尺三寸二分。（按周髀長五尺五寸五分小分四。何承天長三尺三寸五分。祖暅長三尺二寸六分。今曆景長三尺三寸。）當至不至，水物雜揉，羊不蕃，多病疾瘧，振寒，霍亂；未當至而至，老人多病瘟氣腫。”

At the time of Qingming, the shadow length was calculated by Liu Song's He Chengtian as four feet two inches and five parts, and by Zu Geng as the same. The current imperial calendar's actual measurement is four feet three inches and four parts. If the Qingming season arrives late, the beans will not mature properly, people will suffer from many diseases, and they will feel cold and shiver. If the season arrives too early, people will suffer from sudden and severe illnesses. The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Gu Yu, the shadow length is five feet three inches and two parts." (Note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is five feet five inches and five parts plus four smaller parts; He Chengtian calculated it as three feet three inches and five parts, and Zu Geng calculated it as three feet two inches and six parts; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is three feet three inches.) If the Gu Yu season arrives late, aquatic creatures will become mixed and disordered, sheep will not breed, and people will suffer from malaria, chills, and cholera. If the season arrives too early, the elderly will suffer from swelling caused by epidemic diseases.

《易緯》曰：“立夏晷長四尺三寸六分。（按周髀長四尺五寸七分小分四。何承天長二尺五寸。祖暅長二尺五寸三。今曆景長二尺四寸九分。）當至不至，旱，五穀傷，牛畜病，未當至而至，多病頭痛，腫［口蓋］，喉痺。”《易緯》曰：“小滿晷長三尺四寸。（按周髀長三尺三寸八分小分二。何承天長一尺九寸七分。祖暅長一尺九寸九分。今曆景長一尺六寸九分。今曆景長一尺九寸八分。）當至不至，多凶，言有大喪，先水後旱，多病筋急，痺痛；未當至而至，多病赻氣，［口蓋］腫。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Li Xia, the shadow of the sun is four feet three inches and six parts." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is four feet five inches and seven parts plus four small parts; He Chengtian calculated it as two feet five inches; Zu Geng calculated it as two feet five inches and three parts; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is two feet four inches and nine parts.) If the qi of Li Xia arrives when it should not, the sky becomes dry, crops are damaged, and cattle and horses get sick; if it arrives prematurely, people suffer from headaches, swelling of the upper palate, and throat blockage. The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Xiaoman, the shadow of the sun is three feet four inches." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is three feet three inches and eight parts plus two small parts; He Chengtian calculated it as one foot nine inches and seven parts; Zu Geng calculated it as one foot nine inches and nine parts; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one foot six inches and nine parts, and another place records it as one foot nine inches and eight parts.) If the qi of Xiaoman arrives when it should not, there are many calamities, major funerals occur, there is first flooding then drought, and people suffer from muscle and tendon stiffness and pain; if it arrives prematurely, people suffer from diseases like "qian qi" which involve rushing blood and qi, and swelling of the upper palate.

《易緯》曰：“芒種晷長二尺四寸四分。（按周髀長二尺五寸九分小分一。何承天長一尺六寸九分。祖暅長一尺六寸九分。今曆景長一尺六寸四分。）當至不至，多凶，主國有枉令；未當至而至，多病厥，頭眩病。”《易緯》曰：“夏至晷長一尺四寸八分。（按周髀長一尺六寸。劉向長一尺五寸八分。何承天長一尺五寸。祖暅長一尺五寸。今曆景長一尺四寸九分。）當至不至，國有大殃，旱，陰陽並傷，草木夏落，有大寒；未當至而至，多病，肩腫。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Mangzhong, the shadow of the sun is two chi four cun and four fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is two chi five cun and nine fen plus a small fraction; He Chengtian calculated it as one chi six cun and nine fen; Zu Xun also calculated it as one chi six cun and nine fen; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one chi six cun and four fen.) If the qi of Mangzhong arrives when it should not, there will be many calamities, and the state will issue unjust and unfair policies. If the qi arrives prematurely, people will suffer from dizziness and fainting. The "Yi Wei" also states: "On the day of Xiazh至, the shadow of the sun is one chi four cun and eight fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is one chi six cun; Liu Xiang calculated it as one chi five cun and eight fen; He Chengtian calculated it as one chi five cun; Zu Xun also calculated it as one chi five cun; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one chi four cun and nine fen.) If the qi of Xiazh至 arrives when it should not, the state will suffer a great disaster, there will be drought, yin and yang energies will be harmed together, and grass and trees will shed leaves in the height of summer, with severe cold appearing. If the qi arrives prematurely, people will be sick, with swelling in the shoulders.

《易緯》曰：“小暑晷長二尺四寸。（按周髀長二尺五寸九分小分一。何承天長一尺六寸九分。祖暅長一尺六寸九分。今曆景長一尺六寸四分。）當至不至，先小水，後旱，有兵，多病洩注，腹病；未當至而至，多病膨脹。”《易緯》曰：“大暑晷長三尺四寸。（按周髀長三尺五寸八分小分一。何承天長一尺九寸七分，祖暅長一尺九寸七分。今曆景長一尺九寸七分。）當至不至，外兵來，年飢，多病筋痺，胸痛；未當至而至，多病脛痛，惡氣。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Xiaoshu, the shadow of the sun is two chi and four cun long." (Note from the original text: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is two chi, five cun, and nine fen plus one small fen; He Chengtian calculated it as one chi, six cun, and nine fen; Zu Geng also calculated it as one chi, six cun, and nine fen; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one chi, six cun, and four fen.) If the Xiaoshu season is supposed to arrive but does not, there will first be small water disasters, followed by drought, and there will be military conflicts. People will suffer from severe diarrhea and abdominal pain. If the Xiaoshu season is not supposed to arrive but comes early, people will suffer from abdominal distension. The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Dashu, the shadow of the sun is three chi and four cun long." (Note from the original text: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is three chi, five cun, and eight fen plus one small fen; He Chengtian calculated it as one chi, nine cun, and seven fen; Zu Geng also calculated it as one chi, nine cun, and seven fen; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one chi, nine cun, and seven fen.) If the Dashu season is supposed to arrive but does not, there will be foreign troops invading, a poor harvest, and people will suffer from paralysis of the muscles and pain in the chest. If the Dashu season is not supposed to arrive but comes early, people will suffer from pain in the lower legs and be harmed by foul air.

《易緯》曰：“立秋晷長四尺三寸六分。（按周髀長四尺五寸七分三。何承天長二尺五寸。祖暅長二尺五寸五分。今曆景長二尺四寸九分。）當至不至，暴風為災，來年歲不稔；未當至而至，多病疾瘧，上氣，咽腫。”《易緯》曰：“處暑晷長五尺三寸二分。（按周髀長三尺五寸六分小分四。何承天長三尺二寸五分。祖暅長三尺二寸六分。今曆景長三尺三寸。）當至不至，國多淫合，兵起，麥不熟；未當至而至，病脹，身熱不汗。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Start of Autumn, the shadow of the sun is four feet three inches and six parts." (Note from the original text: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is four feet five inches and seven parts three; He Chengtian calculated it as two feet five inches; Zu Geng calculated it as two feet five inches and five parts; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is two feet four inches and nine parts.) If the qi of Start of Autumn arrives on time but does not come, there will be violent storms causing disasters, and the harvest of the following year will be poor; if it arrives prematurely when it should not, people will suffer from malaria, upward rushing qi, and swollen throats. The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Limit of Heat, the shadow of the sun is five feet three inches and two parts." (Note from the original text: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is three feet five inches and six parts and four small parts; He Chengtian calculated it as three feet two inches and five parts; Zu Geng calculated it as three feet two inches and six parts; the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is three feet three inches.) If the qi of Limit of Heat arrives on time but does not come, there will be much licentiousness and improper union among men and women in the country, military conflicts will arise, and wheat will not mature; if it arrives prematurely when it should not, people will suffer from bloating and fever without sweating.

《易緯》曰：“白露晷長六尺二寸八分。（按周髀長六尺五寸五分小分五。何承天長四尺二寸五分。祖暅長四尺二寸五分。今曆景長四尺。）當至不至，多病疽疸，洩；未當至而至，多病水腹，閉疝，瘦。”《易緯》曰：“秋分晷長七尺二寸四分。（按周髀長七尺五寸五分。劉向長七尺二寸六分。何承天長五尺三寸九分。祖暅長五尺三寸七分。今曆景長五尺三寸三分。）當至不至，草木復勞，多病溫，悲心痛；未當至而至，多病胸脅腹痛。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Bai Lu, the shadow of the sun is six chi two cun and eight fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is six chi five cun and five fen, plus five smaller fractions. He Chengtian calculated it as four chi two cun and five fen, Zu Geng also calculated it as four chi two cun and five fen, and the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is four chi.) If the Bai Lu qi does not arrive when it should, people are prone to suffer from boils, jaundice, and diarrhea; if it arrives prematurely when it should not, people are prone to suffer from fluid accumulation in the abdomen, hernia, and body wasting. The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Qiufen, the shadow of the sun is seven chi two cun and four fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is seven chi five cun and five fen. Liu Xiang calculated it as seven chi two cun and six fen, He Chengtian calculated it as five chi three cun and nine fen, Zu Geng calculated it as five chi three cun and seven fen, and the current imperial calendar's actual measurement is five chi three cun and three fen.) If the Qiufen qi does not arrive when it should, the grass and trees, which should wither at that time, instead resume growth, and people are prone to suffer from warm diseases and sorrowful heart pain; if it arrives prematurely when it should not, people are prone to suffer from pain in the chest and abdomen.

《易緯》曰：“寒露晷長八尺二寸。（按周髀長八尺五寸四分小分一。何承天長六尺七寸二分。祖暅長六尺六寸七分。今曆景長六尺五寸四分。）當至不至，來年穀不成，畜鳥獸被殃，多端正疝瘕，腰痛；不當至而至，多病熱中。”《易緯》曰：“霜降晷長九尺一寸六分。（按周髀長九尺五寸二分小分二。何承天長八尺三寸八分。祖暅長八尺一寸七分。今曆景長八尺七寸。）當至不至，百物大耗，來年多大風，人病腰痛；未當至而至，至病胸脅，肢瞞。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Cold Dew, the shadow of the sun is eight chi and two cun long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is eight chi, five cun, and four fen plus a small fraction. He Chengtian calculated it as six chi, seven cun, and two fen. Zu Geng calculated it as six chi, six cun, and seven fen. The current calendar system of our dynasty measured it as six chi, five cun, and four fen.) If the Cold Dew energy is supposed to arrive but does not, then the following year's crops will not mature, domestic animals and birds will suffer, and people will suffer from diseases such as accumulative masses and lower back pain. If the Cold Dew energy arrives prematurely when it should not, people will suffer from internal heat. The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Frost's Descent, the shadow of the sun is nine chi and one cun and six fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is nine chi, five cun, and two fen plus a small fraction. He Chengtian calculated it as eight chi, three cun, and eight fen. Zu Geng calculated it as eight chi, one cun, and seven fen. The current calendar system of our dynasty measured it as eight chi, seven cun.) If the Frost's Descent energy is supposed to arrive but does not, then all things will suffer great losses, and the following year will have many strong winds, and people will suffer from lower back pain. If the Frost's Descent energy arrives prematurely when it should not, people will suffer from pain in the chest and ribs and swelling in the limbs.

《易緯》曰：“立冬晷長一丈一寸二分。（按周髀長一丈五寸二分小分二。何承天長九尺九寸一分。祖暅長九尺八分。今曆景長尺尺六寸三分。）當至不至，地氣不藏，立夏寒，早旱晚水，萬物不成；未當至而至，多病擘掌痛。”《易緯》曰：“小雪晷長一丈一尺八分。（按周髀長一丈一尺五寸一分小分四。何承天長一丈一尺三寸四分。祖暅長一丈一尺三寸。今曆景長一丈一尺一寸四分。）當至不至，來年黍麥不熟，多肘腑病；未當至而至，亦為肘腑痛。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Li Dong, the shadow is one zhang, one cun, and two fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is one zhang, five cun, and two fen plus a small fraction. He Chengtian calculated it as nine chi, nine cun, and one fen. Zu Geng calculated it as nine chi and eight fen. The current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one zhang, six cun, and three fen.) If the qi of Li Dong arrives on time, but does not come, the earth's energy cannot be stored, and in the following year's Li Xia, it becomes cold instead, causing drought at the beginning of the year and flooding at the end, preventing the growth of all things; if the qi of Li Dong arrives prematurely, people suffer from hand pain. The "Yi Wei" says: "On the day of Xiao Xue, the shadow is one zhang, one chi, and eight fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is one zhang, one chi, five cun, and one fen plus a small fraction. He Chengtian calculated it as one zhang, one chi, three cun, and four fen. Zu Geng calculated it as one zhang, one chi, three cun. The current imperial calendar's actual measurement is one zhang, one chi, one cun, and four fen.) If the qi of Xiao Xue arrives on time, but does not come, the following year's millet and wheat will not mature, and people suffer from arm and elbow pain; if the qi of Xiao Xue arrives prematurely, it also causes arm and elbow pain.

《易緯》曰：“大雪晷長一丈二尺四分。（按周髀長一丈一尺五寸小分五。何承天長一丈二尺四寸八分。祖暅長一丈二尺四寸三分。今曆景長一丈二尺二寸八分。）當至不至，溫氣洩，夏蝗生，大水。多病少氣，五疽，小腫；未當至而至，多病痍疽，應在芒種。”

The "Yi Wei" states: "On the day of Da Xue, the shadow of the sun is one zhang, two chi, and four fen long." (Original note: According to the "Zhou Bi Suan Jing," it is one zhang, one chi, five cun, and five small parts. He Chengtian calculated it as one zhang, two chi, four cun, and eight fen. Zu Xuan calculated it as one zhang, two chi, four cun, and three fen. The current calendar system of our dynasty measured it as one zhang, two chi, two cun, and eight fen.) If the qi of Da Xue is supposed to arrive but does not, the warm qi that should be sealed away escapes outward, leading to locusts in the summer of the following year, great floods, and many people suffering from shortness of breath, weakness, five kinds of sores, and swelling in small areas. If the qi of Da Xue arrives prematurely when it should not, many people will suffer from sores and sores, and this will manifest in the summer of the following year, at the time of Mang Zhong.

劉向《洪範傳》曰：“日者，照明之大表；光景之大紀；群陽之精，眾貴之象也。故曰，其氣佈德，而主在地。日德者，生之類也；故日出而天下光明；日入而天下冥晦。”

Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: "The Sun is the greatest symbol of illumination between heaven and earth, the greatest standard for the length of light and dark, and the measure of day and night. It is the essence of all yang energy and the symbol of many noble things. Therefore, it spreads yang energy as benevolence, and the earth receives this benevolence. The virtue of the Sun belongs to the category of nurturing all things; thus, when the Sun rises, the world becomes bright, and when it sets, the world becomes dark and dim."

《禮斗威儀》曰：“日青中黃外，是為一不可。（日者，黃中為主，應行君仁，黃中而青外，君禮，黃中而赤外，君義，黃中而黑外，君智。五色積聚，照明四方矣。今反青中而黃外，是位次倒置，黃為外奪，故為一不可矣。）

The Li Wei · Dou Wei Yi says: "The Sun's center appears blue and its outer part yellow, which is called 'One Unacceptable'." (Original book note: The Sun should primarily be yellow, corresponding to the ruler practicing benevolent governance; a yellow center with a blue outer part corresponds to the ruler observing propriety; a yellow center with a red outer part corresponds to the ruler acting with righteousness; a yellow center with a black outer part corresponds to the ruler possessing wisdom. The five colors accumulate in order, illuminating all directions, which is the normal state. Now, instead, the center is blue and the outer part yellow, indicating a reversal of the hierarchy of respect and subordination. The central yellow color, which should be in the middle, has been displaced to the outside and thus is being encroached upon, hence it is called 'One Unacceptable'.)

赤君喜怒無常，輕殺不辜無罪，不事天地，忽於鬼神，天則雨土、常熱，日蝕無光，地動，雷下降。（赤者火，火死為土，禮失其政，天雨土也。南方者火，故常熟也。南子為離，離為日，故日蝕無光。火滅灰為土，故地動。雷者土氣所為，故雷下降也；下者，雷電折擊，下殺人民也。）其時不救，兵從外來為害，戮而不葬。日赤中黃外，是為二不可。

The Star of brightness and prestige appears red, indicating that the sovereign is capricious in his anger and joy, rash in executing the innocent, neglecting the worship of heaven and earth, and being disrespectful to ghosts and spirits. Heaven will then send down a rain of dust, the climate will remain persistently hot, during an eclipse the sun will have no light, the ground will tremble, and lightning will fall downward. (Original commentary: The red color belongs to fire, and after fire is completely consumed, it turns into earth. The loss of ritual propriety in governance leads to the falling of earth rain. The south belongs to fire, hence the persistent heat. The south corresponds to the trigram 'Li' (Fire), which symbolizes the sun, hence during an eclipse, the sun has no light. When fire is extinguished, it becomes ash, which is earth, hence the ground trembles. Thunder arises from the earth's qi, hence the lightning falls downward; the term 'downward' refers to the lightning destroying and striking downward, harming the people.) If these signs appear and are not corrected, there will be foreign military calamities, with people being killed and left unburied. When the center of the sun is red and the outer part is yellow, this is called 'two unfitnesses'.

白君亂無威，臣獨逆理而不能誅。（白者變為白，白繫西方之色也，萬物衰老之處也。故為君德衰亂，亂臣專其威，無禮，君衰，亂於政事，不能誅也。）賢者不得為輔，朝中因女而進者眾。嶐山數崩，時大旱，河海不流，虎狼害人，其民好賕，吏併為奸，兵數十起千里之內。其時不數，及其年中亡；當誅臣逆理進者，以禁絕災害；因女進者時日以救，則災及其年。日白中黃外，是為三不可也。

The Star of brightness and prestige turns white, indicating the ruler's government is in chaos and he has lost his authority. Ministers act independently and recklessly, violating principles, while the ruler is powerless to punish them. The virtuous are unable to enter court to assist in governance, and many officials gain positions through the influence of women. Mountains frequently collapse, there is a great drought, rivers and seas dry up, tigers and wolves attack people, the people prefer to bribe, officials collude in wrongdoing, and warfare occurs repeatedly within a thousand li. If this is not corrected, the state will perish within the year. One should punish those who have gained power through improper means to prevent calamities. Those who have entered the court through the influence of women should be promptly removed to avoid disaster. When the center of the Star of brightness and prestige is white and the outer part is yellow, this is called the "Three Unacceptable" situation.

黑，賤人為君婦人輕賢佞陷，候間得親，將小臣所私及危其身。（色變為黑者暗，故賤人為君。黑、陰色，故婦人持政，輕誅賢。黑者水，流行無所不及，隨器方員，以喻佞人隨君方圓，故候間得親。私者，竊也。小人將盜竊其位及其身。）

The Star of brightness and prestige darkens, indicating a low-born person becomes the ruler, women take control and treat virtuous men with contempt, and wicked ministers slander the upright. They take advantage of the ruler's vulnerabilities to gain proximity, while minor officials secretly seize power, endangering the ruler himself. (Original commentary: When the sun's light darkens, it signifies dimming, hence a low-born person becomes the ruler. Darkness is a color associated with yin, hence women dominate politics and rashly execute virtuous people. Darkness also belongs to water, which flows everywhere, taking the shape of the container it is in—square or round. This is used to illustrate佞men who flatter the ruler, thus being able to exploit opportunities and gain favor.the so-called「私」means to seize secretly; petty men are about to steal the ruler's position, even endangering the ruler's life.)

時則常雨不休，水則海潰河益，民多溺水死，乘舟者多，蛇入都邑，雞雉同宿。（好婦人者，必用其言，欲廢嫡立庶，故蛇入都邑，雉從約宿。蛇雉有文章在野，喻同政賢從，欲代其位。故《易蔭氣樞》曰：“繼體不改，號令不行，群下爭利，君弱臣強，選舉失，暴風發屋折木為咎，則有蛇入都邑，雉從雞宿也。”）婦人多重死，胎子不就。（用婦人言，欲專其政，轉相嫉害也。）其時不救，患在門內。（當遠婦人，復進賢也。）其日黑中黃外是為四不可也。”

At this time, rain often falls continuously, causing water disasters such as seawater overflowing and rivers rising sharply, resulting in many people drowning. Travel by boat becomes more common in places where boats are needed. Snakes enter the capital city, and wild chickens share the same place with domestic chickens. (Original commentary: A king who favors his concubines will certainly believe their words, intending to depose the legitimate son and replace him with a younger son, hence the strange occurrences of snakes entering the capital and wild chickens sharing the same dwelling with domestic chickens. Snakes and wild chickens both have patterns on their bodies and should be in the wild, symbolizing those outside the court who desire to share power and attempt to replace the existing position. Therefore, The Book of Changes' Yin Qi Chou says: 'If the reigning king does not reform corrupt policies, his orders cannot be carried out, ministers compete for private interests, the king is weak and the ministers are strong, appointments are improper, and strong winds destroy houses and break trees, becoming misfortunes, there will be occurrences such as snakes entering the capital and wild chickens sharing the same dwelling with domestic chickens.') Many women die from serious illnesses, and their unborn children are also lost. (Original commentary: Listening to the words of women, they desire to monopolize power, leading to mutual jealousy and harm.) If this is not corrected, calamities will occur within the palace gates. (Original commentary: One should distance oneself from women and reappoint virtuous talents.) This phenomenon, where the center of the sun is dark and the outer part is yellow, is called 'Four Unacceptable Things.'

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“箕主正月，日色如青赤者，昧暝玄黃，亭亭奪光，旬望以上，七月朔日日蝕。近侯輔臣反，其正月地動搖，官兵大擾。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“房主二月，日色如正月，旬望以上；八月二日日蝕，南夷北狄侵中國，流星數出，天下旱，三年兵來，二月天雨血，後九十日名水決，天下多訛臣，朝延女黨悖天子，備玩好之喜，且經此逢害。”

The Spring and Autumn Secret潭Ba says: "The Ji Xu mansion governs the first month. If during this month the color of the Sun is green with a reddish tinge, dark and yellowish, hanging alone in the sky without brightness, lasting for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the Sun should occur on the first day of the seventh month. Nearby feudal lords and ministers assisting in government will rebel. In the first month, the ground will shake and tremble, and the army will be in chaos." The Spring and Autumn Secret潭Ba says: "The Fang Xu mansion governs the second month. If during this month the color of the Sun is as dark and dim as described for the first month, lasting for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the Sun should occur on the second day of the eighth month. The southern and northern barbarians will invade the Central States, meteors will frequently appear, and the whole country will suffer a great drought. Military conflicts will arise within three years. If during the second month blood rain falls from the sky, then within ninety days a famous river will break its banks. The whole country will have many deceitful officials. The female favorites and their followers in the court will defy the Son of Heaven, focusing only on acquiring luxuries for pleasure, and will thus suffer misfortune."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“角主三月，日色如正月，望旬以上；五月大霧，九月朔日日蝕，十月有兵，倉皇其來，三月彗星如房，後百二十日名山崩，熒惑守心其效也。故日者，天子之象，君父夫兄之類中國之應也。夫明主之踐位，群賢履職，天下和平，黎民康寧，則日麗其精明，揚其光耀。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring River says: "The Horn mansion governs March. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in March is as dim and overpowering as described for January, and this condition lasts more than ten days, then there will be heavy fog in May, an eclipse on the first day of September, and military conflict in October, coming suddenly and urgently. If a comet appears in March, as large as the Room mansion, then after 120 days, famous mountains will collapse. If the Malefic of violence remains fixed in the Heart mansion, it will be the fulfillment of this prophecy. Therefore, the Star of brightness and prestige is the symbol of the Son of Heaven, representing the sovereign, father, husband, and elder brother, as well as the destiny of the Central Kingdom. When an enlightened ruler ascends the throne and all virtuous ministers fulfill their duties, the world is at peace and the people are secure, then the Star of brightness and prestige appears pure and bright, radiating brilliant light."

《黃帝占》曰：“有道之國，日月過之即明，人君吉昌，人民安寧。”《尚書考靈曜》曰：“五政不失，日月光明；五政謂四時及季夏之政也。”《尚書考靈曜》曰：“日照四極九光；東日日中，南日日永，西日宵中，北日日短，光照四十四萬六千里。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: "In a country with clear governance, the sun and moon shine particularly brightly when they pass through its territory, the sovereign enjoys good fortune and prosperity, and the people live in peace." The Book of Documents, Examining the Luminous Stars says: "When the five political affairs are not out of order, the sun and moon shine brightly; the so-called five political affairs refer to the policies of spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the season of the fifth month, which is the time of the summer solstice." The Book of Documents, Examining the Luminous Stars also says: "The sun shines to the farthest corners of the four directions, emitting nine kinds of light. In the east, it is the time of the vernal equinox when day and night are equal, called 'midday'; in the south, it is the time of the summer solstice when daylight is longest, called 'long day'; in the west, it is the time of the autumnal equinox when day and night are equal, called 'midnight'; in the north, it is the time of the winter solstice when daylight is shortest, called 'short day'; the sunlight can reach as far as forty-four thousand six hundred and sixty li away."

《禮斗威儀》曰：“君乘土而王，其日太平，則日五色無主。”（宋均曰：包五行之色不主於一也。）《禮緯含文嘉》曰：“君政尊而制命，日月貞明。”《春秋感精符》曰：“王者之明，以日為契；日明則道正，闇昧不明則道亂，各以其類占，天子常戒以自勵。”

The Li Wei · Dou Wei Yi says: "The sovereign inherits the virtue of earth and becomes king, encountering a time of great peace, and the sun encompasses all five colors without specializing in one." (Original commentary: Song Jun says, this refers to including the colors of the five phases without favoring any one of them.) The Li Wei · Han Wen Jia says: "When the sovereign's decrees are dignified and he can issue commands independently, the sun and moon become upright and bright." The Chūnqiū Gǎnjīng Fú says: "Whether a king is sage is verified by the sun: if the sun is bright, it indicates the governance is correct; if it is dim and unclear, it indicates the governance is disordered. Each should be judged according to its category, and the Son of Heaven should always use this as a warning and self-discipline."

《孝經古秘》曰：“日光明，海內樂，無怨心，陰陽調，年命長，民人以康。”《孝經內記》曰：“日和五色，君有德。”京房《易傳》曰：“日者，眾陽之精，內明玄黃，五色無主，以象，人君光照無主，不可以色名也。”京房《易傳》曰：“聖主在上，則日五色備。”京氏曰：“日大光，天下和平，上下俱昌，延年益壽，世無極。”

The "Ancient Secret of the Book of Filial Piety" says: "The Sun shines brightly, bringing joy throughout the four seas, people have no resentful hearts, yin and yang harmonize, longevity is achieved, and the people thus enjoy peace and well-being." The "Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety" says: "The Sun is gentle and possesses five colors, indicating that the ruler has virtue." Jing Fang's "Commentary on the Changes" says: "The Sun represents the essence of all yang energies, its inner part is bright and displays a mixture of black and yellow, possessing all five colors without favoring any one color, used to symbolize the ruler's illumination of the entire world, not favoring any particular region, thus it cannot be described by a single color." Jing Fang's "Commentary on the Changes" says: "When a sage and enlightened ruler is in power, the Sun exhibits all five colors." Jing Fang says: "The Sun's radiance is grand, the world is at peace, ministers and subjects flourish, all people prolong their lives, and generations are endless."

孫氏《應瑞圖》曰：“人君不假臣下以柄權，則日月揚光。”又曰：“王者動不失時，日揚光。”王充《論衡》曰：“王者道至於天，則日揚大光。”韓楊曰：“日則帝興亡微闕太子崩，海內失命，哭聲吟吟，天下定異，推在名公萌之出，天子格自正孝，度天心，思消之，天子吉。”

Sun's commentary in "Ying Rui Tu" says: "If the sovereign does not entrust power to his ministers, the sun and moon will display their brilliance." It also says: "If the emperor's actions do not contradict the agricultural and political regulations, the sun will display its brilliance." Wang Chong's "Lun Heng" states: "When the emperor's virtue and governance reach heaven, the sun will emit great light." Han Yang says: "Variations in the sun's light relate to the rise and fall of the imperial dynasty; if the sunlight is weak or obscured, it indicates the premature death of the crown prince, the loss of heaven's mandate throughout the land, and widespread mourning. The country will experience clear signs of calamity, which should originate from the families of renowned ministers. If the emperor can correct himself, uphold filial piety, understand the will of heaven, and take measures to resolve the issue, the emperor's fate will turn favorable."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“軫主四月，日色白，丹如黃丹，青比梅葉、芄蘭無色，旬朔以上；十一月朔日日蝕，天子誅於強臣，百二十日，五山亡。”一日：“君死不葬，吳楚以東，十國稱王；天子繼絕，諸侯多亡，豪傑縱橫。”

The "Spring and Hidden Spring" text says: "The Chariot Mansion governs the fourth month. If the Star of Brightness and Prestige appears white in the fourth month, the red color resembles cinnabar floating on the surface, while the blue color appears as dull and unremarkable as plum leaves and the flowers of the plant known as wanlan. If this lasts for ten days or more than a month, an eclipse of the sun will occur on the first day of the eleventh month, and the Son of Heaven will be killed by a powerful minister. One hundred and twenty days later, the great mountains of the Five Peaks will collapse." Another account says: "The ruler dies and cannot be buried, and ten states east of Wu and Chu establish themselves as kings. The line of the Son of Heaven is broken, and the vassal states suffer many losses, while powerful men roam the land unchecked."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“張主五角，日色如正月，旬望以上；十一月朔晦日日蝕，南夷為亂，後九十日地嘔血，兵禍並起，逆為天上，百二十日，五星從熒惑，聚中國，四夷爭起，妻妾哭於宮，天子滅於國。其五月，彗星五芒，出於頭極，九虹見交，與日交併立；天子亡，諸侯自君，上滅庶雄，制命兵雷令。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The mansion of Extended Net governs the fifth month. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in this month is as dark and overpowering as described for the first month, lasting for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the sun should occur on the new moon or the last day of the month in the eleventh month, with disorder among the southern夷 people. After ninety days, the earth will expel blood-like water, and warfare will break out simultaneously, with rebellious energy rising to the heavens. After one hundred and twenty days, the five wandering stars will follow the Malefic of violence and gather in the region corresponding to the Central Kingdom, with the four surrounding夷 tribes all rising in rebellion. Concubines will weep in the palace, and the Son of Heaven will perish in his country. By that year's fifth month, a comet with five bright rays will appear from the zenith, and nine rainbows will cross and appear together with the sun; the Son of Heaven will perish, the feudal lords will each proclaim themselves as kings, the rulers above will be executed, and many heroes will rise up, issuing commands with powerful military authority."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“東井主六月，日色赤如醰，旬望以上；十月朔日日蝕，四方射主，武將威兵，後九十日國大亂。其六月天鳴地坼，三公九卿皆反，各自立為君，勝者稱王，非天命也。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring River says: "The Well mansion governs June. If in June the Star of brightness and prestige appears as red as strong wine in a jar, and lasts for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the sun should occur on the first day of the tenth lunar month, with people from all directions plotting to kill the sovereign. The military officers will become arrogant and domineering through their military strength; after ninety days, great chaos will occur within the country. By that year's June, the sky will echo with sounds, the ground will crack, and the three dukes and nine ministers will all rebel, each establishing themselves as kings. Whoever wins will be the king, and this is not a mandate from heaven."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“氐主七月，日色青赤，若昧暝亭亭奪光，旬望以上；正月朔日日蝕，後七十日山冢絕崩，百川沸騰，大臣皆用，祿在名公。百二十日，高峰為谷，深谷為陵，天下昏亂，群小執綱，以方為圓，以欺為忠，帝人失勢，俯從風靡，天子大弱，可防而消。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The Root Mansion governs the seventh month. If during the seventh month the Star of Brightness and Prestige appears green with a red tinge, like hanging alone in the sky at dusk and losing its radiance, lasting for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the sun will occur on the first day of the first lunar month; after seventy days, mountains and hills will collapse, rivers and streams will boil over, and all ministers will be appointed indiscriminately, with salaries and positions falling into the hands of famous marquises. After one hundred and twenty days, high peaks will become deep valleys, and deep valleys will rise into hills, the world will be in chaos, a group of petty men will control the state's affairs, calling round things square and fraud as loyalty; the imperial family will lose power, only to bow and fall with the wind, and the Son of Heaven will greatly weaken. This omen can be foreseen and prevented, thus eliminating it."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“昂主八月，日色如正月，旬望以上，三月朔日日蝕，妻後殺主，後百二十日，地必大動，天下起兵，害誅王。其來八月，殞石。五六月，天下謀殺，其王易於卿。大雨壤波流，翔主失，伍姓不亡。期百二十日，斗星消，易姓起，至期而無徵，天子繕三王之政，五帝之功，以立中興。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The mansion of Hairy Head governs the eighth month. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in the eighth month appears as dark and overpowering as described for the first month, lasting for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the sun will occur on the first day of the third month, with the wife and concubines plotting to kill the king. After one hundred and twenty days, the earth will surely experience a great earthquake, and armies will rise across the land, attacking and killing the king. In that year's eighth month, there will be a falling meteor. In May and June, there will be secret plots to assassinate the king, and that king will be easily replaced by the ministers. Heavy rain will wash away the land, and great waves will flow across the country, causing the king's authority to waver and decline. However, the five clans of the same surname will not yet perish. Around the time of one hundred and twenty days, the light of the seven stars of the Big Dipper will fade, and the change of dynasty will begin. If these events do not occur by then, the Son of Heaven should renew the political teachings of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and the achievements of the Five Emperors, thereby establishing a revival of the dynasty."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“奎主九月，日色如正月，青黑不明，旬望以上，來歲天雨蝗，五月殞霜，京師中三月晦，日日蝕，天子以色，后妃黨橫。其來九月，虎入邦，雉群翔，巢國中，天子好野遊，主人去，外人昌，吳楚以南滅，兵亂以興。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The Legs mansion governs September. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in September resembles that of January, being dark blue and not bright, and this lasts for ten days or more than half a month, then in the following year locusts will fall from the sky, and frost will descend in May. In the capital city, on the last day of March, an eclipse of the sun occurs, the Son of Heaven becomes addicted to women, and the faction of the concubines dominates. By that September, tigers enter the city, pheasants fly in groups and build nests in the capital, the Son of Heaven delights in hunting in the wild, the master of the house departs while outsiders gain power, the regions south of Wu and Chu are destroyed, and thus chaos arises."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“東璧主十月，日色如黑，文綱綱然，四月朔日日蝕，後七十日，蛇群入市，雉死廟堂之中，主失國，野鳥跦跦，或致鴝鵒，君王危，天下驚，鄰國入，主出臣，下逐上，其類令天子備，司禍為福。”

The "Spring Hidden Deep Pool" says: "The eastern Wall Mansion governs the tenth month. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in the tenth month turns black, and its surface patterns cross each other like a network, there will be an eclipse on the first day of the fourth month. After seventy days, snakes will gather in the market streets, and wild chickens will die in the ancestral temple and court. The ruler will lose his country. Wild birds will jump in, even attracting parrots, the king will be in danger, the whole world will be shocked, neighboring countries will invade, the ruler will be expelled and the ministers will take power, the lower ranks will drive out the upper ranks. Such omens require the Son of Heaven to be on his guard, transforming possible calamities into blessings."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“虛主十一月，日色如綠綈，旬望以上；十日天雨堵，（宋均曰：“堵當作赭，赤色土也。）五色朔日日蝕，大臣殺主，七十日大霜，天下無所措，不出；民或藏匿，走入宮。主驚去國，天下瓦解，禮主消，爍中國，夷狄其來。七月出兵，大合屠君誅父無服之屬，九族之親，君臣易位。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The mansion of Emptiness governs the eleventh month. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in the eleventh month resembles green coarse silk, and this lasts for ten days or more than half a month, then within ten days red soil will fall from the sky. When the five colors appear together and a solar eclipse occurs on the new moon day, ministers will plot to kill the sovereign. Seventy days later, a great frost will descend, making it impossible for people to move about, and people will dare not leave their homes. Some people will hide, while others will flee into the palace. The sovereign will be frightened and flee the capital, leading to the collapse of the land and the destruction of the system of rites. The Central Plains will be devastated, and the barbarians will take advantage of the situation to invade. In the seventh month, the army will go out, and a large battle will be fought, killing the sovereign and executing fathers. Even distant relatives without mourning ties and the nine generations of close relatives will be implicated. The positions of sovereign and minister will be completely reversed."

《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“斗主十二月，日色如灰、如塗、如虹、如合爪，旬望以上；六月朔晦二日日蝕，九十日，日魄。大臣專國，代其君為王，天子廢斥，強候執命，夷狄內侵中國百年，上無天子，下無方伯，眾狼為政。後二百二十日，虎哭地陷，天雨沙，山躍石。其來六月，天子弱，大臣為主。”

The Spring and Autumn Hidden Spring Book says: "The Dipper mansion governs December. If the color of the Star of brightness and prestige in December appears gray, like painted mud, like a rainbow, or like a closed fingernail, and this lasts for ten days or more than half a month, then an eclipse of the sun should occur on the first day of the sixth month and the last day of the sixth month. Ninety days later, the sun will only have a dim shadow left. Ministers will seize control of state affairs, usurp the throne and claim kingship, the Son of Heaven will be displaced and rejected, powerful feudal lords will hold the power of life and death, and the barbarians will invade the Central States for a hundred years. There will be no Son of Heaven above and no regional chief below; a pack of wolves will be in power. After two hundred twenty days, tigers will howl, the ground will collapse, sand will fall from the sky, and stones in the mountains will jump. By that year's sixth month, the Son of Heaven will be weak, and the ministers will become the actual rulers."

《春秋感精符》曰：“君營於邪，輔宰不納，奢大縱盜，快意所欲，民不聊生，則遊氣蔽日，日青黃白黑。”《春秋感精符》曰：“主弱，則日色赤如灰；王淪濘，則日流血。”又曰：“大臣擅命，妻專盜成黨赤，後大旱，地動搖。”

The "Chunqiu Gan Jing Fu" says: "When the sovereign is preoccupied with perverse affairs, the ministers' advice is not heeded, extravagance prevails, and thieves are allowed to run rampant. If the ruler only seeks personal pleasure, and the people cannot live properly, then floating clouds will obscure the sun, and the sunlight will appear in the colors of blue, yellow, white, and black." The "Chunqiu Gan Jing Fu" also says: "When the sovereign is weak, the sun's color turns reddish-gray; when the emperor is immersed in corruption, the sun appears as if bleeding." It further states: "When ministers act independently and issue orders on their own, when the concubines dominate and form factions, the sun turns red, and afterwards there will be a great drought, with the ground trembling and shaking."

又曰：“日青赤黃白黑乍連，於氣茫茫，不可以類推象，度三十日，以往蝕無期此至亂，故比年日蝕。”又曰：“夷狄並侵，兵將用，則日紫。”又曰：“日色赤如灰，主以急見伐。”《春秋緯》曰：“日黃濁佈散，必有后黨嬖。”

It is also said that when the colors of the sun, namely green, red, yellow, white, and black, suddenly merge into one and spread over the vast clouds, making it impossible to classify them according to usual patterns, this situation lasting more than thirty days, then solar eclipses will no longer follow regular cycles, indicating a very chaotic situation, which will result in continuous solar eclipses. It is also said that when the夷狄 invade together and military action is about to be taken, the sun appears purple. It is also said that when the sun is red but with a gray tinge, it signifies that the ruler will be swiftly attacked. The "Spring Annals Weave" states that when the sun turns yellow and becomes turbid, with its color spreading out, there must be a favored person from the queen's faction in power within the palace.

《孝經契》曰：“日和五色，明照四方；黃白失信，赤青奪明，黑多暴害，乘離，失信則慢。”《孝經左契》曰：“日變有五色，蒼色見於百姓也。”京氏曰：“察天不順厥異，日赤，其中有黑。”京氏曰：“日變色，青為飢與憂，赤為爭與兵，黃為德與善，白為旱與喪，黑為水，民半死。”

The "Xiao Jing Qie" says: "The Sun is gentle and possesses five colors, shining in all directions, which is the normal state; yellow with a white tinge indicates loss of trust and righteousness; red with a blue tinge indicates the loss of brightness; excessive black indicates cruelty and destruction; when various colors multiply and separate, the loss of trust and righteousness leads to negligence." The "Xiao Jing Zuo Qie" says: "When the Sun changes color and displays five hues, the blue color is associated with the people." Jing Fang says: "Observing celestial phenomena without aligning with heavenly will, its variation is the Sun turning red, with red also containing black." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun changes color, blue indicates famine and calamity, red indicates conflict and military disaster, yellow indicates virtuous governance and good deeds, white indicates drought and mourning, black indicates flooding, and half the people die."

又曰：“日赤如赭，布如灰，不出其歲，有大將死於野。”又曰：“日有黑光，不出六十日，有大水傷五穀，空屋；所見之國，糴貴十倍，二旬乃止。”京氏曰：“《救黃經》云：‘賢者之言，行之而蔽，其人有以其美自揚厥異，日色黃，黃者，中和色，喻美行也，人君內有賢臣，卒得其位，保其社稷，人君自知，非其德行所能設，稱揚其人，則復矣。’”

It is also said: "The sun appears red like cinnabar, spreading like ash, and within this year, a great general will die in the open field." It is also said: "The sun emits black light, and within sixty days, there will be a great flood that damages the five grains, leaving houses empty and abandoned; the corresponding country in the celestial regions will see grain prices rise tenfold, and this will last for twenty days before stopping." Jing Fang said: "The 'Rescue the Yellow Classic' states: 'When the advice of a virtuous person is adopted, but his merit is concealed, the person then promotes his own good name; its variation is that the sunlight turns yellow. Yellow is the color of harmony, used to symbolize good virtue. When the king has a virtuous minister in court, who finally attains his proper position and preserves the state and ancestral temples; the king himself also realizes that this is not entirely due to his own virtue, and thus openly praises the virtuous minister, and the sunlight returns to normal.'"

《赦赤經》云：“人君不學道，無以教下、發號令、動害百姓，日應之而赤；人君聽用仁賢，尊之加賓客，避寢思道，則復矣。”《救黑經》云：“臣不能進諫其君，怨下見百姓，故日黑。人主當憂勞求賢，罷左右強臣，則黑除矣。”《救白經》云：“人君軟弱，海內咸貧，日白六旬，不可復變；未滿六旬，求任賢臣，抗武揚威，誅罰為非，則復矣。”

The "Shè Chì Jing" says: "If the sovereign does not study the ways of governing the country, he cannot educate his ministers and issue orders that harm the people; then the Sun turns red. If the sovereign listens to virtuous men and treats them as guests, retires to his chamber to reflect on governance, the Sun's color returns to normal." The "Jiu He Jing" says: "If ministers cannot advise the sovereign, their grievances turn downward upon the people, causing the Sun to turn black. The sovereign should be diligent in state affairs, seek out virtuous talents, dismiss arrogant officials near him, and the black color will disappear." The "Jiu Bai Jing" says: "If the sovereign is weak and the whole country is in poverty, the Sun turns white and lasts for sixty days, making recovery difficult; if it has not yet reached sixty days, but the sovereign seeks and employs virtuous ministers, revives military preparedness, displays authority, and punishes wrongdoing, the Sun's color returns to normal."

《夏氏圖》曰：“日暈黃濁黃，動搖為風雨，其不動搖，憂病暴怨。”《荊州占》曰：“日始出一竿，赤如血，有死王，以宿占國。”又曰：“日赤如血，其國君死，赤始未赭，將軍戰死於野。”（按王隱《晉書》曰：東海王越自陽成帥甲士四萬，京邑多徙次許昌，以鳴崇為兵司馬，越領豫州牧，三月四日，日有赤，散流，其光若血下流，其光之所照皆赤，日中有若飛'者，七八十，九日，越斃於項也。）

The Xiasi Diagram says: "The halo around the sun turns yellow and turbid. If it flickers, it indicates wind, rain, and storms; if it remains still, it signifies worries, illness, and sudden enmity." The Jingzhou Divination says: "When the sun rises one pole high above the horizon, if it appears red like blood, it indicates the death of a king. According to the star mansion where the sun is located, it can be determined which country is affected." It also says: "If the sun appears red like blood, the ruler of the corresponding region will die; if the red color first appears but has not yet turned into a reddish-brown, it indicates a general dying in the field." (Original note: According to Wang Yin's "Book of Jin," Prince Sima Yue of the Eastern Sea led four thousand armored soldiers from Yangcheng, and many people in the capital moved to Xuchang for residence. Mingshong was appointed as military司马, and Sima Yue also took charge of the governorship of Yu State. On the fourth day of the third month, the sun turned red, with red light spreading widely, like blood flowing downward. Everywhere it shone turned red, and there were seventy to eighty flying bird-like objects in the sun's surface. On the ninth day, Sima Yue died in Xiangcheng.)

《孝經內記》曰：“主不敬天地，犯名山大川，則日色青白黃黑。”甘氏曰：“日或黑青黃，師破喪候王。”京氏曰：“日者，太陽之精，萌於東，盛於南；其色赤。今乃青，青東方，少陽色也。謂人君微弱，國無賢輔，則致此災；不救，日蝕為災，其救也，率股肱，正臺輔，任忠直，報功能，立將軍，修城郭。”

The Xiaojing Neji says: "If a ruler is disrespectful to heaven and earth, and offends the spirits of great mountains and rivers, the sun will appear in the colors of green, white, yellow, and black." Gan De says: "The sun sometimes turns black, green, or yellow, indicating the defeat of the army and the death of the feudal kings." Jing Fang says: "The sun is the essence of the sun's energy, originating in the east and flourishing in the south. Its true color is red. Now it appears green, which is the color of the east's lesser yang. This indicates the ruler is weak and there are no virtuous ministers in the country, leading to such an omen. If this is not corrected, it will result in an eclipse. To correct this, one should manage capable ministers well, appoint the right officials for the three grand ministers and the stars of conferment, employ loyal and upright men, reward those who have merit and ability, appoint generals, and repair the city walls."

京房《易傳》曰：“人君不聞道德，其亂國背上，則日赤。”（按洪範曰：漢成帝河平元年正月壬寅朔，日月俱在營室，日赤；二月十二日癸未日朔，日又赤。其夜月赤，十三日甲申，日出赤如血，無光，漏上四刻半，乃頗有光，照地赤黃，食時後乃復，是時帝無道德，後宮趙氏亂，內外宗，王氏擅朝，逐主亡國之應。）

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "When the sovereign fails to listen to moral teachings, the state affairs become chaotic and ministers abandon the sovereign, the Sun turns red." (Original note: According to the "Hong Fan," in the first month of the first year of Emperor Cheng of the Han dynasty, on the first day of the month, the Sun and Moon were both in the Encampment mansion, and the Sun turned red. On the twelfth day of the second month, on the first day of the month, the Sun turned red again, and that night the Moon also turned red. On the thirteenth day, at sunrise, the Sun appeared red like blood, with no light, and only slightly brightened after four and a half hours, casting a reddish-yellow light on the ground, returning to normal only after breakfast. At that time, Emperor Cheng neglected morality, and the H Zhao sisters in the harem were corrupt, with inner and outer relatives colluding, and the Wang family monopolizing the government. This was the fulfillment of the omen of the sovereign being expelled and the dynasty's downfall.)

京房《易傳》曰：“上微弱，無法制，則日白六十日，萬物無霜而死。”又曰：“臣下無智勇，天下自征伐，則日白體動而寒。”又曰：“人君弱而能任其事，謂不亡，則日白。”又曰：“人君公行衍過，不自改，則日黑，大風起。”（天無雲而日光掩也。）

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: "When the sovereign is weak and unable to establish laws and regulations to restrain, the Sun turns white for sixty days, and all things wither even without frost." It also says: "When ministers lack both wisdom and courage, and the whole world rises in arms and wages war, the Sun turns white, and the sun's body trembles while the weather turns cold." It also says: "Though the sovereign is weak, if he can still shoulder the state affairs, it can be said that the state will not perish, and at this time the Sun turns white." It also says: "If the sovereign repeatedly commits mistakes but refuses to change, the Sun turns black, and a great wind arises." (Original note: This refers to the sky being cloudless yet the sunlight is obscured.)

京房曰：‘日有青光，不出二旬大風，糴貴，斗米二千。一歲五見，糴倍；十見以上，民多疾疫，不出一年。”京氏曰：“日青，君弱亡，君無知也。黃間，若不與也。”黑慈（闕）甘氏曰：“臣逆君法，日赤如火，其國必亂。”

Jing Fang said: "When the Sun is accompanied by a green glow, there will be a great wind within twenty days, and the price of grain will rise, with one dou of rice selling for two thousand coins. If this occurs five times within a year, the price of grain will double; if it occurs more than ten times, the people will suffer from many diseases, and the prediction will not be fulfilled within a year." Jing Fang also said: "When the Sun turns green, it indicates the ruler is weak and doomed to decline, because the ruler is ignorant and confused. If the green color contains a yellow tinge, it seems as if there is reluctance to give." The section on the black color is missing from the original text. Gan De said: "When ministers violate the ruler's laws, the Sun appears red like fire, and the country will certainly experience great chaos."

《荊州占》曰：“日色赤而三日不復，則霧而昏。晝昏此人君無德故也。”又曰：“日色赤黃，其月旱。”又曰：“有黃光照下國，有土水若流血，名王死之。有白光破國，主憂喪。有青色，國實倉。有赤光，流血滂滂。有黑光，多死兵。”（以上日色之變。）“乍赤乍白各十日，臣有伏兵欲謀君。”又曰：“日色如紫，名為日死，王者惡之。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: "When the sun appears red, and remains so for three days without returning to normal, the sky will become misty and dark. The darkness during the day is due to the ruler lacking virtue." It also says: "When the sun appears red with a yellow tinge, there will be drought in the month." It further states: "If a yellow light shines upon the land below, it indicates soil disasters and water calamities, with water appearing like flowing blood, and a famous king will die. If there is white light, it signifies the country's destruction, and the ruler will face worries and mourning. If it is green, the state's granaries will be full. If it is red, there will be widespread bleeding. If it is black, there will be many soldiers killed in battle." (Original note: All of the above are divinations regarding changes in the sun's color.) It also says: "If the sun alternates between red and white, each color lasting ten days, it indicates ministers hiding their troops and plotting to harm the ruler." Furthermore, it states: "When the sun appears purple, it is called 'the sun dying,' which is most feared by emperors."

《太公兵法》曰：“日戴天下，大凶，期不出三年。”

The Tai Gong Military Methods say: "When the Star of brightness and prestige appears with a 'Dai' aura above it—the aura is a cloud formation directly above the sun, shaped like a straight line with a slight bulge in the middle, resembling a hat on the sun—it envelops the whole world, indicating a great calamity. This omen will come to fruition within three years."

《太公陰秘》曰：“君不明，臣不忠，故日天光。月不明，見變不救，殃禍生，臣欲反，主失名。安百姓，用賢人，弱者扶則無害。”又曰：“凡四時受王之日，日月當清明，五星順度，潤澤有光，凡此君臣和同。或晝不見日，夜不見月，五星失度，陽蔽日光，亂風連日，此國君迷荒，不順時令，疾病蟲霜，忠臣受誅，讒言者昌，兵火欲起，民人惶惶，盜賊滿道，死者不葬。”

The book "Tai Gong Yin Mi" says: "If the sovereign is not clear-sighted and discerning, and the ministers are not loyal, then the Sun Star loses its inherent brightness. The Moon is also dim, and if one sees such anomalies but does not correct them, calamity will arise. Ministers may desire rebellion, and the sovereign will lose his position. If one can pacify the people, employ the virtuous, support the weak, then there will be no harm." It also says: "In every season, on the days when the heavenly stem is in command, the sun and moon should be clear and bright. The five planets should follow their proper order and shine with a moist and luminous light. These signs indicate harmony between sovereign and ministers. If the sun is not visible during the day and the moon is not visible at night, and the five planets lose their regular course, if the yang energy is blocked and the sunlight is not visible, and if there are continuous days of fierce winds, this is a sign that the sovereign is confused and neglectful, not following the seasons. There will be plague, pests, and frost disaster. Honest ministers will be executed, those who speak falsely will gain power, wars will break out, the people will be in fear and unrest, bandits will be everywhere, and the dead will be left unburied."

《黃帝用兵要法》曰：“沈陰，日月俱無光，晝不見日，夜不見月，星皆有雲障之而不雨，此為君臣俱有陰謀，兩敵相圖謀也。若晝陰夜月出，君謀臣；夜陰晝日出，臣謀群，下逆上。”又曰：“日濛濛無光，士卒內亂。”

The Yellow Emperor's Essentials of Military Strategy says: "Dark clouds hang heavily, the sun and moon have no light, the sun is not visible in the day, the moon is not visible at night, the stars are all obscured by clouds yet there is no rain. This indicates that the ruler and ministers each have secret schemes, and also that the opposing sides are calculating against each other. If the day is dark but the moon appears at night, it signifies the ruler is scheming against the ministers; if the night is dark but the sun appears in the day, it signifies the ministers are scheming against the ruler, with the lower party opposing the upper." It also says: "The Star of brightness and prestige is obscured and lacks light, indicating soldiers are causing internal disturbances."

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日月不光，有亡國死王，期不出五年。”《春秋感精符》曰：“三失陽事則日無光。”《春秋感精符》曰：“君行內虛，外有肅敬、佈政、修度之名，苟無至誠，為下犯冒，晚晚不驚，則日光冥冥，鬱怏不清，其後水數淫，而霧霜屢臻。”

The *Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the Mandate* says: "The sun and moon do not emit light, indicating the downfall of a state and the death of the sovereign, and the fulfillment of this omen will not exceed five years." The *Spring and Autumn Annals: The Responsive Spirits* says: "If there are three failures in matters of yang governance, the sun will lose its light." The *Spring and Autumn Annals: The Responsive Spirits* also says: "If the sovereign's conduct is internally hollow, yet externally appears respectful and solemn, issuing decrees and revising laws, but without a single sincere heart, he will be insulted and oppressed by his ministers. If he remains unaware even in the end, the sun's light will be dim and murky, stagnant and unclear. After that, floods will repeatedly rise, and fog and frost will repeatedly descend."

《春秋感精符》曰：“日無光，主主勢奪，群臣盜讒蔽行。”（按《洪範日月》曰：“漢元帝永光元年四月，日色青白無影，日中時，影無光，是夏寒。至九月乃有光，是時宦者弘恭、石顯等倚勢讒賊忠良，上弱，不明、不義、不遠之應也。）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Record of the Spirit's Response states: "When the Sun lacks brightness, it signifies that the ruler's authority is being taken away, and ministers seize power, making false accusations and obscuring the ruler's vision." (Original commentary: According to the Huangfan Records of the Sun and Moon, in the first year of Emperor Yuan of the Han dynasty, in the fourth month, the sunlight was pale and white, and no shadow could be cast. At noon, there was no shadow and no light. That summer was unusually cold, and the Sun regained its brightness only in September. At that time, eunuchs Hong Gong and Shi Xian relied on their power to slander the virtuous, which was exactly the manifestation of a weak ruler who was neither discerning, nor just, nor forward-thinking.)

《春秋感精符》曰：“妻黨翔，群臣資橫，則日黃無光。（翔橫言，從盜言，從盜也，黃地色，妻象也。恣奸謀，故光見於天，使日黃至於無光澤也。）偏任權柄，大臣擅法，則日青黑。（日為君，月為臣，月生出水，水色青，母子助戰二氣並見。）子黨犯命，權威宮國，則遊氣蔽日，日赤鬱怏無色。（日色赤，子生於父，父子同氣；今赤氣蔽日，子奸父之象也。）九十日，日黃，則日中無影，其時叛作，璚珥數出，黃雲入國，妻黨翔應；青則寒霜虐雹，偏任氣應赤，則日斗湛陰霧集。”（霧集猶霧冥也，子犯命應。）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Book of Divine Signs says: "When the queen consort's faction becomes arrogant and powerful, and ministers take advantage of this to act recklessly, the Sun turns yellow and loses its brightness. (Original note: 'Arrogant and powerful' refers to acting recklessly and seizing power; yellow is the color of the earth, which symbolizes the queen consort. They act with wicked schemes, so this is manifested in the heavens, causing the Sun to turn yellow and lose its brightness.) When the ruler trusts one person and hands over power, and ministers act independently and control the laws, the Sun turns dark blue. (Original note: The Sun symbolizes the ruler, and the Moon symbolizes the ministers; the Moon is born from water, which is blue, so this is the manifestation of the mother and son's energies together.) When the son's faction violates the ruler's orders and exercises power in the palace and the state, there will be floating clouds that block the Sun, causing it to turn red and become dark. (Original note: The Sun turns red because the son is born from the father, and father and son share the same energy; now the red cloud blocks the Sun, which is the sign of the son plotting against the father.) After ninety days, the Sun turns yellow, and at noon, a pole will not cast a shadow. At this time, rebellion occurs, and the 'Qian' and 'Er' clouds appear repeatedly around the Sun. 'Qian' is a cloud that is green and red, curved outward, with a horizontal hook-like shape in the middle. 'Er' is a cloud that appears on both sides of the Sun, small like ears. Yellow clouds entering the capital indicate the arrogance of the queen consort's faction; if it is blue, there will be frost and violent hail, which is the sign of trusting one person; if it is red, there will be two suns fighting, stagnant yin energy, and gathering fog. (Original note: Gathering fog indicates the fog is thick and dark, which is the sign of the son violating the ruler's orders.)"

《春秋感精符》曰：“日久不明，天子蔽塞；各以其類自勅，以消之。”《春秋孔演圖》曰：“騏驎斗兮日無光。”《春秋緯》曰：“日光亡，諸侯叛；三十日不光群禍起。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日無故過中時無光，人君不明，天下有雨，主兵。”甘氏曰：“日出一年而無光耀，其月有王死，一旦王有憂。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“王驕慢，日月失明。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of the Spirit's Response says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige remains dim for a long time, it indicates that the Son of Heaven is obscured and blocked; each should follow their own category to self-admonish, thus dispelling the calamity." The Spring and Autumn: Kongyan Tu says: "When the qilin fight, the Star of brightness and prestige has no light." The Spring and Autumn Wei says: "When the light of the sun is lost, it signifies the betrayal of the feudal lords; if the sun does not shine for thirty days, all kinds of calamities will arise together." The Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu says: "If the Star of brightness and prestige remains dark without light after noon without cause, it indicates the ruler is not discerning, and rain will fall across the land, also indicating military affairs." Gan De says: "If the sun shines for a whole year without any light, it will be when a ruler dies, or when the ruler faces calamity within a single day." The Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu says: "When the ruler is arrogant and lazy, the sun and moon lose their light."

《孝經內記圖》曰：“日出東方二竿，亭亭無光，為日病；未入二竿，亭亭無光，為日死。日死君死；日病君病。”甘氏曰：“見一日為十日，見二日為一月，見一月為一歲，不出其年兵起。”（按韋昭曰：日下無光，謂唯質見耳。）

The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: "When the Sun rises two poles high in the east and appears alone without light, it is called 'day illness'; when it is about to set and still two poles high but appears alone without light, it is called 'day death'. Day death signifies the death of the sovereign, and day illness signifies the illness of the sovereign." Gan De says: "When this phenomenon of no light occurs for one day, it will be verified within ten days; if it occurs for two days, it will be verified within a month; if it occurs for a month, it will be verified within a year, and there will be military affairs within the same year." (Original book note: According to Wei Zhao's explanation, 'no light' refers to only being able to see the form of the sun.)

《荊州占》曰：“日始出二竿，未入二竿，其色赤而無光，其分主凶；必有兵喪，春則為旱，災在六月。”《太公兵法》曰：“日未入兩竿而無光曜，其月必主死。一曰主憂。”京氏曰：“日未入二竿，亭亭無光，所舍國君死；日出三日無光，國乃不昌。”甘氏曰：“日出旦無光，陽見德也；日旦而無明，入而無光，此謂陽見刑也。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: "When the Sun has risen two poles high or is about to set two poles high, and its color is red without brightness, the corresponding star mansion will experience misfortune; there will certainly be military calamities and deaths. If this occurs in spring, it indicates drought, and the disaster will occur in June." The "Tao Gong Military Strategy" says: "When the Sun is about to set two poles high without brightness, the month will surely bring death. Another interpretation suggests it indicates worry and trouble." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun is about to set two poles high and is alone without brightness, it indicates the death of the king in the corresponding star mansion. If the Sun appears for three consecutive days without brightness, the country will not flourish." Gan De says: "When the Sun rises in the morning without brightness, it is a manifestation of yang energy showing virtue; if it is not bright in the morning and also lacks brightness when setting, this is called yang energy showing punishment and execution."

甘氏曰：“人君宰相，不從四進行令，刑罰不明，大臣奸謀，離賢蔽能，則日月無光。見瑕適不改其行，其國五穀不成，六畜不生，人民上下縱橫，賊盜並起。”甘氏曰：“日出無光曜者，主病。一曰：主有負於臣，百姓有冤心。”甘氏曰：“日失色，所臨之國不昌。”京房《易妖占》曰：“君不明，日不光。”

Gan De said: "If the sovereign and prime minister do not govern according to the order of the four seasons, punishments are not clear, ministers secretly plot evil schemes, exclude the virtuous and suppress the capable, then the sun and moon will lose their brightness. If one sees such flaws but still does not change his ways, the country will have poor harvests of the five grains, the six domestic animals will not thrive, the people will act disorderly, and bandits will rise up together." Gan De also said: "If the sun does not shine when it rises, it indicates the sovereign is ill. Another interpretation is that the sovereign has wronged his ministers, and the people hold grievances in their hearts." Gan De further said: "If the sun loses its true color, the country it shines upon will not flourish." Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" said: "If the sovereign is not clear-sighted, the sun will not shine."

京氏曰：“天下雲盡，赤日不光三十日者，有大兵，王者亡；五十日者，兵且作，大飢，民亡；七十日者，有大殃，亡主、兵作、大飢；九十日者，社稷亡；百二十日者，邑墟亡。”京氏曰：“日月大無光，國無王，民不安，天下有兵。”京氏曰：“日失光明，主令不行，民飢流亡。”京氏曰：“日無故久無光，天下不彰，社稷隳亡。”京氏曰：“日月皆無光，則淵涸山崩，王者惡之。”

Jing Fang said: "When the clouds in the sky have completely dispersed, but the red sun has no light, if it lasts thirty days, the ruler will suffer great military calamities and perish; if it lasts fifty days, military conflicts will arise, there will be severe famine and the people will flee; if it lasts seventy days, there will be great calamities, the ruler will die, military conflicts will arise, and famine will be severe; if it lasts ninety days, the state and its institutions will perish; if it lasts one hundred and twenty days, cities and towns will be reduced to ruins and perish." Jing Fang said: "When the sun and moon lose their brilliance, it indicates there is no ruler in the country, the people are restless, and there will be military conflicts throughout the land." Jing Fang said: "When the sun loses its light, it indicates the ruler's commands cannot be implemented, the people will suffer from hunger and flee." Jing Fang said: "When the sun remains dark for an unexpected long period, it indicates the world is in darkness, and the state and its institutions will be destroyed and perish." Jing Fang said: "When both the sun and moon have no light, it will lead to dryness in the deep valleys, collapse of mountains and hills, and this celestial phenomenon is most feared by the emperor."

董仲舒《災異占》曰：“日無故白無光，其主不死，國乃不昌。青無光，天下人民相食，主去。日赤無光，天下兵起，大旱。日黃無光，天下主失德，名山崩，地動。日黑無光，臣下為政。”《氣經》曰：“日光赤氣見，為賊者皆君左右大臣也。”京房《易妖占》曰：“日赤無光，君凶也。”

Dong Zhongshu's "Zaiyi Zhan" says: "If the sun suddenly turns white without light, the ruler will not die, but the state will not flourish. If the sun turns blue without light, it indicates that the people will eat each other, and the ruler will leave his position. If the sun turns red without light, it indicates that there will be great warfare and a severe drought. If the sun turns yellow without light, it indicates that the rulers will lose virtue, the famous mountains will collapse, and the ground will shake. If the sun turns black without light, it indicates that the ministers will take over the government." The "Qi Jing" says: "If red clouds appear in the sunlight, the disorder and harm will come from the great ministers close to the ruler." Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: "If the sun turns red without light, it indicates that the ruler will have misfortune."

《春秋感精符》曰：“日者，陽之精曜，魄光明所以察下，夫以照滅晝晦，甚所懼也。”《春秋緯》曰：“后族專權，謀為國害，則日晝昏。”京氏曰：“奸臣盛，日晝昏。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“日晝昏之異，臣為政莫制持專權跋扈，陰騙舒。”《雒罪級》曰：“日晝昏，不言擅畔。”石氏曰：“日晝昏，行人無影，到暮不止，刑急，民無聊生，不出二年，大水下，田不收。”甘氏曰：“日晝錯，鳥群鳴，天下國家分析，臣持政，期不出五年中。”甘氏曰：“日無故晝昏倒暮，不出一年，大水。”

The "Spring and Autumn Annals of the感应符" says: "The Sun is the brilliance formed by the gathering of yang energy; its light is used to illuminate the lower world. If this illuminating light is instead swallowed up, and daylight becomes dark, it is the most terrifying occurrence." The "Spring and Autumn Wei" says: "If the royal family's clan dominates and plots to harm the state, then the sun will be dark during the day." Jing Fang says: "If the power of villains grows strong, the sun will be dark during the day." The "Spring and Autumn Yundou Shu" says: "The phenomenon of daylight being dark is an omen of ministers seizing control of the government and no one being able to restrain them, acting tyrannically and arrogantly, thus allowing yin energy to expand." The "Luozui Ji" says: "If the sun is dark during the day, it indicates that someone will leave without speaking a word." Shi Shen says: "If the sun is dark during the day, pedestrians cannot cast shadows on the road, and the darkness does not dissipate until nightfall, indicating harsh punishments, the people unable to live, and a great flood occurring within two years, with no harvest in the fields." Gan De says: "If the sunlight is disordered during the day, and birds make chaotic noises, it indicates the collapse of the state and the country, with ministers seizing control of the government, and this will occur within five years." Gan De also says: "If the sun is dark during the day without cause, and remains dark until dusk, a great flood will occur within one year."

京房《別對災異》曰：“國有讒佞，朝有殘臣，則日無光，闇冥不明。”《易》曰：“日中見斗，日中星見，明其冥也；故貶之為暮也。其救也，遠佞諂，近忠直，修經典，閉私道，則日光明。”《洪範傳》曰：“日正晝而冥晦者，陰反為陽，臣反制君也。”

Jing Fang's "Differentiation of Portents and Anomalies" says: "If there are slanderous ministers in the country and corrupt officials in the court, the sun will lose its light and become dark and obscure." The "Book of Changes" says: "If the Big Dipper is seen at noon and the stars appear during the day, it indicates that daylight has become dim and murky, so this period of time is referred to as 'dusk.' The remedy is: to distance oneself from flatterers and corrupt ministers, to approach upright and loyal officials, to study and clarify the classics, and to block the channels of private interests. Then the sun will regain its brightness." The "Commentary on the Hongfan" says: "When the sun is at noon but appears dark and obscure, this signifies that yin has taken the position of yang, and ministers have turned against the sovereign."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“子日晝冥者，水溢山崩，水灌涼州，凶在武都、酒泉。丑日晝冥者，鬼山崩，水出灌兗州，凶在濟陰、任城。寅日晝冥者，虎山崩水，灌徐州，凶在下邳，琅琊。卯日晝冥者，水山崩，一日風，山水灌青州，凶在平原，齊國。辰日晝冥者，風山崩，水出灌揚州，凶在豫章，廬江。巳日晝冥者，龍山崩，一曰水山崩，水灌豫州，凶在淮揚、汝南、會國，一曰凶在淮揚、南昌。

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classics" says: "On the day of Zi, when the daylight is dim, it indicates great flooding and mountain collapses, water flooding Liangzhou, calamity will occur in Wudu and Jiuquan. On the day of Chou, when the daylight is dim, it indicates collapse of Ghost Mountain and great floods emerging to flood Yanzhou, calamity will occur in Jiyin and Rencheng. On the day of Yin, when the daylight is dim, it indicates collapse of Tiger Mountain and flooding, flooding Xuzhou, calamity will occur in Xiaopi and Langya. On the day of Mao, when the daylight is dim, it indicates collapse of Water Mountain, another interpretation is a great wind, mountain torrents flooding Qizhou, calamity will occur in Pingyuan and Qiguo. On the day of Chen, when the daylight is dim, it indicates collapse of Wind Mountain, great floods emerging to flood Yangzhou, calamity will occur in Yuzhang and Lujiang. On the day of Si, when the daylight is dim, it indicates collapse of Dragon Mountain, another interpretation is collapse of Water Mountain, great floods flooding Yuzhou, calamity will occur in Huaiyang, Ruzhong, and Huiguo, another interpretation is calamity will occur in Huaiyang and Nanchang."

午日晝冥者，水山崩，一曰上山；水灌幽州，凶在日南，蒼梧。一曰水灌青州，凶在平原，齊南。未日晝冥者，土山崩，一曰水山；水出灌荊州，凶在南陽。申日晝冥者，石山崩、水灌益州，凶在蜀郡、廣漢，酉日晝冥者，鐵山崩，水灌幷州，凶在河內五原。戌日晝冥者，氣山朋，水灌兗州，凶在河內、太原，一曰凶在河內、京兆。亥日晝冥者，岑山崩，水灌冀州，凶在趙國、清河。一曰，水灌兗州人民也。”

On the day of Wu, when the daylight is dim, it indicates the collapse of mountainous areas associated with water, another interpretation being the collapse of mountains on the upper slopes; a great flood will inundate Youzhou, with calamity occurring in the southern regions and Cangwu, another interpretation being the flooding of Qingzhou, with calamity occurring in Pingyuan and southern Qi.

《河圖》曰：“天元雲，日不見，三日為大喪，必在滅國。”甘氏曰：“八月朔日日不見，正月酉日日不見，主死。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日不出，懦下。（不出謂日當出不出，君懦畏群下也）則就陰位（燕自闕）。”《春秋緯》曰：“沈日不出，則為天下冥冥，俱溺絕。”

The Yellow River Chart says: "Originally there are no clouds in the sky, yet the Star of brightness and prestige cannot be seen, continuing for three days, indicating a great mourning, inevitably leading to the downfall of the state." Gan De says: "If the Star of brightness and prestige is not visible on the first day of the eighth lunar month, or on the You day of the first lunar month, it foretells the death of a person." The Spring and Han Containing Sprouts says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige should appear but does not, it indicates the ruler is timid and falls behind his ministers. (Original note: 'Not appearing' refers to the Star of brightness and prestige failing to rise when it should, symbolizing the ruler's weakness and fear of the ministers.) Thus, the ruler retreats to a position associated with yin." The Spring and Wei says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige sinks and does not appear, the world becomes dark and gloomy, with people as if drowning and suffocating."

《洛書》曰：“日中有烏見，名曰陰德，不出六十日，兵出；從其所向伐之勝，若有國主死。（按《抱朴子》曰吳赤烏十三年，日中烏見，三足。然魏蜀不見，孫權死。）京氏曰：“日中有烏見主失明，為政者亂。”《黃帝》曰：“日中三足烏，見者，其所居分野有白衣會，大旱，赤地。三足烏出，住日外者，天下大國受其災，戴麻森森，哭聲吟吟。”

The Luo Writing says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige shows the shape and shadow of a crow, it is called 'Yin Virtue.' There will be military action within sixty days. If one attacks in the direction where the shadow points, one will win; otherwise, the king will die." (Original note: According to the Baopu Zi, in the thirteenth year of Wu's Chugǔ period, a shadow of a crow appeared at noon, which was a three-legged crow; however, both Wei and Shu did not see it, and later Sun Quan died.) Jing Fang says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige shows the shadow of a crow, the ruler loses clarity, and the officials are confused." The Yellow Emperor says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige shows a three-legged crow, the region corresponding to its position will have gatherings of people wearing white clothes for mourning, a great drought, and vast areas of land without rain. If the three-legged crow appears and stops outside the sun's disk, the great states of the world will suffer this calamity, with everyone wearing hemp cloth and continuous weeping."

《太公陰秘》曰：“日中烏見者，君咎；雙烏見者，將相逆入，斗者主出走，烏動者大飢，水旱不時，人民流在他鄉。救之法：實倉庫、舉賢士，遠佞邪、察後宮，任有道，赦不從，則災消矣。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日無暈而烏見，所宿之國亡絕。”（王隱《晉書惠紀》曰：“元康六年六月日中若飛燕者，積數日，後有愍懷太子事。）《日傍氣圖》曰：“日中烏見，其國君死、期三年。”《荊州占》曰：“常以月十四日，候日，中有氣如飛鳥，其地無居者。”京房《災異》曰：“日月薄赤，見日中烏，將軍出旌，舉此不詳，必亡。”

The book "Tai Gong Yin Mi" says: "If a shadow of a crow appears in the sun, the sovereign will have misfortune; if two crow shadows appear, the ministers and generals will rebel and enter the palace; if two crows fight, the sovereign will flee; if the crow shadows are restless and unstable, there will be great famine, drought and flood, and the people will be displaced. The way to resolve this is: fill the granaries, appoint virtuous men, distance wicked ministers, investigate the palace, appoint those who follow the Way, pardon those who refuse to obey, and the calamity will be dispelled." The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: "If the sun has no halo but a crow shadow appears, the country corresponding to the star mansion will be destroyed." (Original note: Wang Yin's "Jin Shu · Hui Di Ji" says that in the sixth year of Yuan Kang, in June, a black shadow like a flying swallow appeared in the sun, continuing for several days, and later the incident of the Prince of愍怀 being killed occurred.) The "Ri Bang Qi Tu" says: "If a crow shadow appears in the sun, the sovereign of that country will die, within three years." The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: "Usually observe the sun on the fourteenth day of each month; if a shape like a flying bird appears in the sun, that place will be uninhabitable." Jing Fang's "Zai Yi" says: "If the color of the sun and moon is thin and red, and a crow shadow appears in the sun, it indicates that generals will lead troops with banners; such military action is not auspicious and will surely result in defeat."

《黃帝占》曰：“日中有火光氣見者，其國左右大臣欲反。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“君德鷹揚，君臣和，德道慶，則日含王字。”（日中有王字者，君德象，日光所照無不及也。）石氏曰：“日中有立人之象，君慎左右急。”《荊州占》曰：“日中有人行者，臣害主，而主爭客勝；有三人，天鉤主，人必更。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: "When a fiery light appears in the middle of the Sun, it indicates that the ministers close to the ruler intend to rebel." The Chunqiu Qiantanba says: "When the ruler's virtue and authority are as strong as a hawk soaring high, the relationship between ruler and ministers is harmonious, and the way of virtue and governance is commendable; the Sun contains the character 'Wang' (King)." (Original note: When the character 'Wang' appears in the Sun, it symbolizes the ruler's virtue, indicating that the sunlight reaches everywhere without fail.) Shi Shen says: "When a figure standing appears in the middle of the Sun, it warns the ruler to be vigilant about those around him." The Jingzhou Zhan says: "When a figure walking appears in the Sun, it indicates that ministers will plot against the ruler, and when two armies fight, the guest force will win; if three figures appear, it signifies the heavenly hook omen affecting the ruler, and the ruler's position will certainly change."

《雜雲氣占》曰：“青氣入，白如老人，黑帽黑衣，杖刀立日中，從日出至食時不罷，君失位。”又曰：“青氣入日，狀如兩烏，重立日中，從日出至食時不罷，日無精光，夷人為主，正治失痊，河水逆流。”京房曰：“祭天不順茲謂逆，日中有黑子。”又曰：“臣不掩君惡，令下見於百姓；百姓惡君，則日變。”（中有黑者，陰也。皆日出入時也。）

The "Miscellaneous Cloud and Atmosphere Divination" says: "A green cloud enters the sun, with a white image resembling an old man, wearing a black hat and black clothes, holding a knife standing in the center of the sun. It does not dissipate from sunrise until breakfast time, indicating the ruler loses his position." It also says: "A green cloud enters the sun, shaped like two crows standing overlapped in the center of the sun. It does not dissipate from sunrise until breakfast time, and the sun has no brilliance, indicating the夷 people become the ruler, normal governance cannot be restored, and the river water flows backwards." Jing Fang says: "Sacrificing to heaven without proper rites is called 'reverse,' and a black spot appears in the center of the sun." He also says: "If ministers do not cover up the ruler's faults and publicly announce improper orders to the people, the people thus hate the ruler, and the sun undergoes a change." (Original note: Black spots appearing in the center of the sun belong to yin; these phenomena all occur at sunrise and sunset.)

《文命鉤》曰：“偏任權柄，大臣擅法，則有青黑子。”《甘氏占》曰：“日青赤掩月，不有戰必有亡國。”《京房占》曰：“日中有黑雲，若赤、若青、若黃，乍五、乍十、乍三十，天子崩。”（按《晉中興書》曰：昇平三年十月丙午，日中有黑子，如卵，少時而孝宗崩；太和四年十月乙未，日中有黑子，明年海西公廢。）

The Wenming Gou says: "When a ruler entrusts power to a single person and acts on his own, the ministers will seize control of the laws, and the Sun will show black spots of a dark color." The Gan school says: "When the Sun is bright red and covers the Moon, even without war, the state will surely perish." The Jing Fang school says: "When black clouds appear in the Sun, either red, dark, or yellow, and they appear in five places, then ten, then thirty, it indicates the death of the emperor." (Original note: According to the Jin Zhongxing Book, in the third year of Shengping, the tenth month, on the day of Bingwu, a black spot the size of a bird's egg appeared in the Sun, and soon Emperor Xiaozong Mu of Jin died. In the fourth year of Tahe, the tenth month, on the day of Yiwei, another black spot appeared in the Sun, and the next year the Haixi Duke was deposed.)

《太公陰秘》曰：日中有黑氣，若一、若二、至四五者，此陽中伏陰，君害臣，上出者，臣謀君，旁出者，君謀臣；不出者，宮女有憂；昏見在臣，晨見在君。救之法：輕刑罰，赦無罪，節威權，安百姓，貸不足，則災消矣。”又曰：“日中有黑氣者，一菲二至四五者，教令不行，三公為亂，爵賞不平。不救者，臣誅君，子謀父。救之法，任賢直，信道德，退貪邪，輕刑罰，察奏糾，思刑戮，則無害。”又曰：“日中有黑氣，見君有過而臣不掩，故日不明。見變不救者，主有憂。救之法，承順天地，申用明堂，則無害矣。”

The "Tai Gong Yin Mi" says: "In the Sun there are black spots, either one, two, or up to four or five. This indicates that yin energy is hidden within yang energy, which presages that the sovereign will harm his ministers. If the black spots rise from above the Sun, it signifies that ministers will plot against the sovereign. If they rise from the sides, it indicates that the sovereign will scheme against his ministers. If the black spots do not rise from the Sun, it presages that palace women will suffer misfortune. If this phenomenon appears at dusk, it concerns the ministers; if it appears at dawn, it concerns the sovereign. The method to resolve this is: reduce punishments, pardon the innocent, restrain authority, comfort the people, provide relief to the poor, and the calamity will be dispelled." It also says: "In the Sun there are black spots, one, two, or up to four or five, indicating that decrees and moral teachings cannot be implemented, the Three Excellencies will rebel, and the granting of titles and rewards will be unjust. If this is not corrected, ministers will kill the sovereign, and sons will plot against their fathers. The method to resolve this is: appoint virtuous and upright officials, uphold morality and virtue, expel greedy and wicked individuals, reduce punishments, examine memorials and accusations carefully, and handle matters of execution with caution, and there will be no harm." It also says: "Black spots in the Sun arise because the sovereign has committed mistakes and the ministers do not conceal them, causing the Sun to be dim. If such an anomaly is observed but not corrected, the sovereign will face troubles. The method to resolve this is: follow the ways of heaven and earth, clarify and implement the political teachings of the Bright Hall, and there will be no harm."

《洪範五行傳》曰：“人君有過，故不循天治，則日黑居側，大如彈丸。”《荊州占》曰：“日中有黑氣，大如桃李者，臣蔽主明。（按何法盛曰：“太興四年三月癸未，日中有黑子，永昌元年十月辛卯，日中有黑子，是時中宗龐幸，劉隗擅作威福，殘傷君道。王敦因之託晉陽之舉兵，逼都輦，禍及忠賢，故日有瑕也。寧康元年十月巳酉，日中有黑子，如李，二年三月庚寅，日又有黑子，如雞卵二枚，十一月己巳，日又有黑子，大如雞子，是時帝已長，而康獻皇后以從嫂臨朝，實傷君道，故日有瑕。太元十三年二月庚子，日有黑子，大如李，十四年二月辛卯，日中又有黑子，二十年十一月辛卯，日中又有黑子。是時會稽王以母弟專政，故日有瑕。）

The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: "When the ruler has faults and fails to follow the heavenly way, black spots appear in the sun, one-sided, as big as a small ball." The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: "When there are black spots in the sun, as big as peaches and plums, it indicates that ministers obscure the ruler's wisdom." (Original notes: According to He Fasheng's records, in the third month of the fourth year of Taixing during the Jin dynasty, at noon a black spot appeared on the sun; in the tenth month of the first year of Yongchang, at noon another black spot appeared. At that time, Emperor Yuan of Jin favored favorites excessively, Liu Wei acted tyrannically, damaging the way of ruling, and Wang Dun used this as an excuse to raise an army under the name of Jinyang and attacked the capital, causing harm to loyal and virtuous officials, so the sun had blemishes. In the first year of Ningkang, the tenth month, Jiyou, at noon a black spot appeared, as big as a plum; in the third month of the second year, Gengyin, at noon there were two black spots, as big as chicken eggs; in the eleventh month of the same year, Jisi, at noon another black spot appeared, as big as an egg. At that time, Emperor Xiaowu had already come of age, but the Kangxian Empress Dowager, as the aunt of the emperor, ruled the court, which was against the way of ruling, so the sun had blemishes. In the second month of the thirteenth year of Taoyuan, Gengzi, at noon a black spot appeared, as big as a plum; in the second month of the fourteenth year, Xinmao, at noon another black spot appeared; in the twentieth year, the eleventh month, Xinmao, at noon another black spot appeared. At that time, the Prince of Kuaiji, as the younger brother of the emperor by the same mother, monopolized the government, so the sun had blemishes.)

京氏曰：“日有白雲貫，天下有白徒之眾三年，至其黑雲，天下有謀不成。”京氏曰：“候日無色，其中有赤氣大如爪，踴躍；為人君絕命。”京房《妖占》曰：“赤雲貫日者，狀如建鼓，此謂守威；有扈下此云啟之所攻也。”《荊州占》曰：“赤雲貫日如建鼓，三年不雨。”

Jing Fang said: "If white clouds span the Sun, it indicates that there will be temporary mobilization of white-clothed soldiers throughout the country within three years; if black clouds span the Sun, it indicates that there will be plots that fail to succeed." Jing Fang said: "Observing the Sun and finding it completely colorless, with red gas as large as a fingernail, pulsating unpredictably, indicates the death of the sovereign." In Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan," it says: "Red clouds spanning the Sun, shaped like a standing drum, is called 'Shou Wei'; the Hu氏 was defeated by Xiahou Qi under such cloud formations." The "Jingzhou Zhan" states: "Red clouds spanning the Sun, shaped like a standing drum, indicates no rain for three years."

《春秋感精符》曰：“夷狄並侵，戰兵將用，則日垂牙舉足，其發必子輔政，擅威福。”郗萌曰：“日有齒足，則其國謀反。”甘氏曰：“日足白，有破諸侯王。”石氏曰：“日有白足，有戰者破罷敗將軍死。”《洛書》曰：“日始見赤足，主坐急見伐，名臣反，輔相奪。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日赤足，主顛蹶破殺王使並相伐。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Manifestation of the Spirit says: "When夷狄 invade together and military action is about to be taken, the Sun will hang down with tooth-like points and extend foot-like rays—'tooth' refers to the short, sharp energy hanging beneath the Sun's surface, and 'foot' refers to the strip-like energy extending outward from beneath the Sun—when this occurs, it certainly indicates that the prince's son is governing in place of the ruler, monopolizing the power of rewards and punishments." Xi Meng says: "When the Sun shows tooth-like and foot-like energies, it indicates that there is a plot of rebellion within the country." Gan De says: "When the Sun's foot-like energy turns white, it indicates that a feudal king will be defeated." Shi Shen says: "When the Sun has white foot-like energy, it indicates that one side in the battle will be defeated, the army will scatter, and the general will die." The Luo Writing says: "When the Sun first shows red foot-like energy, it indicates that the ruler will be swiftly attacked for his crimes, a famous minister will rebel, and the power of the prime minister will be taken away." The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Manifestation of the Spirit says: "When the Sun has red foot-like energy, it indicates that the ruler will fall and perish, the king's envoys will be killed, and all sides will attack each other."

《春秋緯漢含孳》曰：“日赤足，君赤走，足為火。”又曰：“有赤足數十，下江下地，則君必出走。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“日赤足，有興兵者，日白足，殺諸王侯。”（按宋均注曰：“足動也，喻臣也，日色赤而為足，是臣下奪主勢而興兵也；白，金氣，故殺大臣也。）《河圖》曰：“日兩足，庶雄起。”

The Spring and Autumn Han Han Zi says: "The Sun has red foot qi, indicating the ruler will flee barefoot, because 'foot' belongs to fire in the Five Phases." It also says: "If dozens of red foot qi extend down to rivers and lands, the ruler will certainly flee." The Spring and Autumn Kao Yi You says: "If the Sun has red foot qi, it indicates someone will raise an army; if the Sun has white foot qi, it indicates the king of the feudal states will be killed." (Original note: According to Song Jun's commentary, 'foot' refers to a moving part, symbolizing ministers; red sunlight producing foot qi indicates ministers seizing the ruler's power and raising an army; white belongs to the metal phase, thus indicating the killing of ministers.) The River Chart says: "If the Sun produces two foot qi, it indicates a prominent figure from the common people will rise."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日彗者，君有火德，天下大豐。”高宗曰：“日上芒如烽火，國主失土。”《春秋緯漢含孳》曰：“日垂芒，戰爭。”（謂芒角則戰也。）《洛書》曰：“日有氣而芒，色黃白潤澤，是為陽光，天子有喜，小有德令赦。”夏氏曰：“上黃白芒，君福昌；不得正色，王有憂。”

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classic of Filial Piety" says: "The Sun emits a broom-like radiance, indicating the sovereign has the virtue of fire, and the whole world will have a great harvest." King Gaozong says: "The radiance above the Sun resembles beacon fires, indicating the monarch will lose territory." The "Spring and Autumn Han Han Zi" says: "The Sun hanging down its radiance indicates war will occur." (Original note: This refers to the appearance of芒角 on the Sun's surface indicating war.) The "Luo Writing" says: "The Sun has a qi and produces radiance, with a yellow and white color that is moist and lustrous, which is called 'sunlight,' indicating the Son of Heaven will have joyful events, followed by the implementation of virtue and the issuance of pardons." Xia氏 says: "If there is a yellow and white radiance above the Sun, it indicates the monarch will have flourishing blessings; if it is not of such proper color, it indicates the emperor will face troubles."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日刺者，為有氣刺日中也。謂下賤度上小，知其是非如豫行之也。一年有殃，臣之犯上也。日大色黃，最所極甚，則眾陰惡氣近傍，則賤度上心；為刺在左，為欲諫惡，在歷為欲立王，在上為欲撫主，在下為欲易君。若此之變，君急責躬，自悔考過，執事慎其是非，以洽王治也。”又曰：“日刺甲乙，父子求惡也；日刺丙丁，君臣相疑，改政教也；日刺戊巳，后妃有意害君左右；日刺庚辛，將欲（闕××××）日刺壬癸，宦者有傷。”

The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" says: "What is called 'day's prick' is a kind of qi that appears like a needle piercing into the sun's surface. It symbolizes a low-ranking person speculating and looking down upon a superior, knowing right and wrong but acting rashly. There will be calamities within a year, which is a sign of ministers offending their sovereign. The sun is large and yellow, indicating extreme change, with various evil qi approaching the sun's vicinity, which represents low-ranking people speculating the sovereign's mind. If the prick qi is on the left, it indicates someone wanting to remonstrate and accuse wrongdoing; if it appears in the area it passes through, it indicates someone wanting to establish a new king; if it is above, it indicates someone wanting to surpass and control the sovereign; if it is below, it indicates someone wanting to replace the sovereign. When encountering such changes, the sovereign should quickly blame himself, repent and examine his mistakes, and those handling affairs should be cautious in distinguishing right and wrong, so that the way of the king can be harmonious." It also says: "If 'day's prick' appears on the days of Jia and Yi, it indicates mutual accusations between father and son; if it appears on the days of Bing and Ding, it indicates mutual suspicion between sovereign and minister, and the change of laws and teachings; if it appears on the days of Wu and Ji, it indicates the concubine intending to harm people around the sovereign; if it appears on the days of Geng and Xin, it indicates (the original text is missing here); if it appears on the days of Ren and Gui, it indicates damage to eunuchs."

《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日大則（闕××）處闕消；日小則奪大。”日大於常則無光，君無羽翼也；日小於常則奪威勢也。”《春秋緯》曰：“日大則（闕××××××）獨立勢不出；日小則以漸侵（闕××××××）石氏曰：“日消小者，所當國（闕×××××××××××）京氏曰：“日小主闕賞賜不當。”《春秋緯》曰：“赤帝之災，日消小。”

The Spring and Autumn Han Hanyu says: "When the Sun becomes larger, it suffers a loss in the place where it resides; when the Sun becomes smaller, it is invaded by the strong." A Sun that is larger than usual but lacks brightness symbolizes a ruler without ministers to support him; a Sun that is smaller than usual symbolizes the loss of the ruler's authority. The Spring and Autumn Wei says: "When the Sun becomes larger, it becomes isolated and cannot exercise its power; when the Sun becomes smaller, it is gradually invaded (missing six characters)." Shi Shen says: "When the Sun diminishes and becomes smaller, the country corresponding to it (missing eleven characters)." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun becomes smaller, it indicates that the ruler's rewards are inappropriate." The Spring and Autumn Wei says: "Disasters associated with the Red Emperor's lineage are when the Sun diminishes and becomes smaller."

《孝經內記圖》曰：“日分割，君失亡。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“君蔽臣專，則日出乃毀。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日毀則國毀。”（謂日分四五分、則國分也。）京氏曰：“日中分，不出五年，國亡。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日中分，天下分為二。”京氏曰：“露奪日光，日中破，軍災國。一曰：陰勝陽，臣勝君，兩敵相當。”《洛書》曰：“賢人失位，讒進忠退，政煩民擾，則日分為兩。無救，從王民叛。”《荊氏氣占》曰：“日中分為兩，國主死；分為兩，見有烏居其中，爭主死。”《荊州占》曰：“日中分為兩，所舍國亡。”（按《孝經內說圖》曰：當紂之時，六月壬子，分為兩日，破為兩巳，上者主盡。）

The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: "The Sun split apart, indicating the ruler losing his position and suffering defeat and destruction." The "Chun Qiu He Cheng Tu" says: "The ruler is obscured while ministers seize power; when the Sun appears, it is destroyed." The "Chun Qiu Han Han Zi" says: "When the Sun is destroyed, the country is also destroyed." (Original note: This refers to the Sun splitting into four or five parts, and the country splitting into four or five parts.) Jing Fang says: "When the Sun splits in the middle, the country will perish within five years." The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" says: "When the Sun splits in the middle, the world is divided into two parts." Jing Fang also says: "When misty vapour takes away the Sun's light and the Sun splits in the middle, it indicates the army bringing disaster to the country. Another interpretation is that Yin overcomes Yang, and ministers overcome the ruler, with both sides evenly matched." The "Luo Shu" says: "When virtuous people lose their positions, and those who spread slander rise to power while the upright are driven away, and the government becomes oppressive and the people are disturbed, the Sun splits into two. If this is not corrected, the people following the ruler will also rebel." The "Jing Shi Qi Zhan" says: "When the Sun splits in the middle into two, the ruler dies; when the Sun splits into two and a crow's shadow is seen within it, the contender for the throne dies." The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: "When the Sun splits in the middle into two, the country corresponding to the star mansion where the Sun is located will perish." (Original note: According to the "Xiao Jing Nei Shuo Tu," during the time of King Zhou of Shang, on the sixth month Renzi day, the Sun split into two, breaking into two halves, marking the end of the ruler's fate.)

《荊圖占》曰：“日分為兩，以上有從王。”《春秋感精符》曰：“君臣爭，則日裂；主偏任，則日裂為五。”《春秋緯》曰：“日毀為五，帝將煞，漸起偏任。”《孝經內記》曰：“日毀為五、此謂帝失天下，戮於中也。”《河圖》曰：“日割國分。”《春秋緯》曰：“日裂，主誅臣爭。”《尚書中候》曰：“夏桀無道，殺關龍逢，滅皇圖，壞亂歷綱。殘賊天下，賢人逃，日傷。”《春秋緯》曰：“日壞者，（闕×××××××××××）京氏曰：“日地半，則國破亡，兩敵相當。”《荊州占》曰：“常以正月三日盡八日，觀日光無環者，天下有兵喪。”《春秋緯》曰：“日之穿，可貫杌。”（音脫。）

The "Jingtu Zhan" says: "The Sun splits into two, indicating another king will appear above." The "Chunqiu Gan Jingfu" says: "When the ruler and minister contend, the Sun splits; when the ruler trusts one person exclusively, the Sun splits into five parts." The "Chunqiu Wei" says: "When the Sun is damaged into five parts, it indicates the emperor will be killed, and the disaster gradually arises from exclusive trust." The "Xiaojing Neji" says: "When the Sun is damaged into five parts, it means the emperor loses the empire and is killed in it." The "He Tu" says: "When the Sun splits, the land also splits." The "Chunqiu Wei" says: "When the Sun cracks, it indicates the ruler is executed and ministers contend." The "Shangshu Zhonghou" says: "Xia Jie was cruel and lawless, killing the loyal minister Guan Longpeng, destroying the imperial records, breaking the calendar and regulations, harming the world, and driving away the virtuous. The Sun thus suffers damage." The "Chunqiu Wei" says: "The Sun is damaged, (the original text here is missing eleven characters)." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun is only half attached to the ground, it indicates the country will perish and two enemies will be in a stalemate." The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: "Usually observe from the third to the eighth day of the first lunar month. If the sunlight has no halo around it, it indicates the world will have military disaster and mourning." The "Chunqiu Wei" says: "The Sun is pierced, and it can pass through a wooden stake." (Original note: "wu" is pronounced like "tuo.")

《河圖》曰：“日夜出，是謂陰明，割剖國分。”（按《墨子》曰：昔三苗大亂，正命殛之，日為夜出。隨巢子曰：三苗大亂，妖日宵出。）《春秋感精符》曰“王闕，則日夜出。”《尚書金櫃》曰：“日夜出者，紀綱滅，大臣專政，作威奪權；無救，大臣賊其主，奪其邦；其救也，親仁賢，退驕佞，填四時，布恩惠，赦天下，則日夜出不為傷也。”

The Yellow River Chart says: "The Star of brightness and prestige appears at night, which is called 'Yin Ming,' indicating the fragmentation and collapse of the country." (Original note: According to the Mozi, during the time of the three You tribes' great chaos, the heavenly mandate ordered the extermination of them, yet the Star of brightness and prestige appeared at night. Suichaozi said that during the chaos of the three You tribes, an abnormal Star of brightness and prestige appeared at night.) The Spring and Spirit符 says: "When the position of the emperor is flawed, the Star of brightness and prestige appears at night." The Book of Documents in the Golden Cabinet says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige appears at night, it signifies the collapse of the state's order, ministers seizing control of the court, wielding power arbitrarily, and seizing authority; if not corrected, the ministers will plot against their sovereign and usurp the state. The method to correct this is: to be close to benevolent and virtuous men, to expel arrogant and deceitful ministers, to stabilize the seasonal decrees, to widely spread benevolence, and to grant a general amnesty, so that the appearance of the Star of brightness and prestige at night will not cause harm."

《易緯》曰：“日夜出，隱謀合，國雄逃亡，從處易主。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日夜出，明臣賊其主，奪其家；一日兵起，天下飢，再出三年，君死國亡。”京氏曰：“日夜出，是謂陰反陽，不出二年，天下見大兵；不出一年，有大水；在所見處之國，天下不安。”又曰：“日暮而出，是謂陰重，天下見兵。”京氏曰：“日出於夕，人君不詳，社稷亡。”

The "Yi Wei" says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige appears at night, it indicates that secret plots have already been carried out, and the heroes in the country will flee, changing their allegiance to another master." The "Xiaojing Neji Tu" says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige appears at night, it clearly shows that ministers intend to kill the sovereign and seize his state and country; if it appears for a whole day, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts and famine across the land; if it appears again, the sovereign will die and the country will perish within three years." Jing Fang says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige appears at night, this is called yin reversing into the yang position, and within two years there will be great military conflicts; within one year, there will be a great flood; in the region corresponding to this phenomenon, the whole world will be in turmoil." He also says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige rises after dusk, this is called deep yin energy, indicating military conflicts across the land." Jing Fang says: "When the Star of brightness and prestige rises in the evening, it indicates misfortune for the sovereign and the destruction of the state and country."

郗萌曰：“日夜出，是謂陰陽，在國者亡，兵起，天下飢，以日命其國。郗萌曰：“日夜出照，見角宿，妾黨縱橫，四夷侵犯，十二諸侯攻伐敗亡（闕×××××××××××××）《荊州占》曰：“日宵出，是謂明絕，（闕××××××××）內伐不昌，不出三年有（闕××××××××××××）《荊州占》曰：“日夜出，北斗見，天下兵悉起。”《荊州占》曰：“日夜出，不出二年，天下有兵、水，兵出在所見國。”（按韋昭《洞記》曰：“漢武三年四月有物如日夜出，三年春，河水溢於平原，大飢，人相食。閩越圍東甌，遣嚴助救之，閩越走。”）

Xi Meng said, "The sun appearing at night is called yin and yang reversed— the sun should appear in the day, but now it appears at night— the country that corresponds to this day will perish, warfare will arise, and the world will suffer famine; determine which country corresponds to the day branch on which the sun appears at night." Xi Meng said, "When the sun appears at night and shines upon the eastern Horn mansion, it indicates that the concubine and her attendants will act without restraint, the four barbarian tribes will invade the borders, and the twelve states will attack each other and perish." The "Jingzhou Divination" says, "When the sun appears at night, this is called 'ming jue,' meaning the light is cut off; internal warfare will occur and the state will not flourish, within three years there will be..." The "Jingzhou Divination" says, "When the sun appears at night and the Big Dipper is visible, it indicates that warfare will erupt throughout the land." The "Jingzhou Divination" says, "When the sun appears at night, within two years there will be warfare and floods, and warfare will occur in the country corresponding to the region where this phenomenon is observed." (Original note: According to Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji," in the third year of Emperor Wu of Han's reign in April, there was an object resembling the sun that appeared at night; in the spring of the third year, the Yellow River overflowed in the plains area, causing a great famine, and people ate each other. The Minyue attacked the Dong Ou, and the court sent Yan Zhu to rescue them, and the Minyue retreated.)

《春秋緯漢含孳》曰：“日當出不出，懦下，當入不入（闕）。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: Han Han Zi states: "When the Star of brightness and prestige should rise but does not, it indicates the ruler is weak and yields to his ministers; when it should set but does not, (the original text here is missing)."

石氏曰：“日再出，為滲光，其國君死，有兵起。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日復中，支庶起。”京氏曰：“日再中，帝王窮。”（按《帝王郊祭志》文帝時新垣平上言曰：日再中居頃之日卻復中，乃更以十七年為元年。）

Shi Shen said: "When the Sun rises again, it is called 'seeping light,' indicating the death of the ruler of that country and the outbreak of military conflict." The "Spring and Autumn Han Han Zi" said: "When the Sun reaches the center again, it signifies that a branch or secondary son will rise up to seize the throne." Jing Fang said: "When the Sun is in the center twice, it indicates the exhaustion of the imperial mandate." (Original note: According to the "Imperial Sacrificial Rituals Record," during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, the alchemist Xin Yuanping submitted a report stating that the Sun would be in the center twice; soon after, the Sun indeed retreated and then again reached the center, so Emperor Wen changed the 17th year to be the first year.)

京氏曰：“日出復入，日入復出，主降臣。”又曰：“日出復下，日入復高，日入復見，為還；天下大亂，期三年。”《荊州占》曰：“日出又還，不出三年，天下大亂。所謂反者，君不秉其柄，舍法度，用私意，不任官職，而好自治，則日反；日還者，為日出而復下，下而復高；無救，當為大亂，不軌皆叛，不從其敕。正心固一，修古道，守法正，無忒業，則日還不為傷也。”

Jing Fang said, "When the Sun rises and then sets, and after setting rises again, it indicates that ministers and subjects will submit and be obedient." He also said, "When the Sun rises and then sinks, and when it sinks it rises again, and after sinking reappears, this is called 'returning,' which signifies great chaos throughout the land, lasting three years." The "Jingzhou Divination" states, "When the Sun appears and then retreats, chaos will occur within three years. The term 'reverse' refers to the ruler not personally holding power, abandoning laws and regulations to act on personal whims, not allowing officials to perform their duties, but instead preferring to handle everything personally. The Sun then shows a reversed sign. The term 'return' refers to the Sun appearing and then sinking, and sinking again and rising. If not corrected, great chaos will occur, with those who do not abide by laws and regulations all rebelling, and none obeying the ruler's orders. If one can maintain sincerity, remain focused and undivided, practice ancient ways, abide by laws and regulations, and act without error, then even if the Sun returns, it will not cause harm."

《春秋感精符》曰：“主驚懼，則日入復出。”京氏曰：“日暮入復出，天下亡。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日曜則畏後，文景移位，支庶起。躍謂日暮當下入，入更躍，此畏後權；文景者，日反也。”《春秋緯》曰：“躍如則曲從，天下駭擾，無君桀。”《孝經》曰：“日已入，而光復照，兵起。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensible Symbols says: "When the sovereign is alarmed and fearful, the sun sets and then rises again." Jing Fang says: "When the sun sets in the evening and then rises again, it signifies the downfall of the empire." The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Han Containing the Seeds says: "When the sun leaps, it indicates the sovereign's fear of the royal family, and the image of Wen and Jing shifts, with a collateral branch rising to take the throne.the so-called 'leaping' refers to the sun, which should have set in the evening, but after setting, it jumps up again, indicating the sovereign's fear of the royal family's power;the so-called 'Wen and Jing' refers to the image of the sun reversing." The Spring and Autumn Writ says: "When the sun leaps unpredictably, it signifies the sovereign's yielding and submission, with the empire in turmoil and unrest, like the time of the tyrant King Jie of Xia." The Book of Filial Piety says: "When the sun has set but its light reappears, it signifies the outbreak of military conflict."

《洛書》曰：“日從天墜，有道之君正天下，無道之君走。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“日流則提擊；流謂累如赤珠數十在日下，此則君兵提擊東西也。”《春秋緯》曰：“日流，則君王滅，以沈湎並奪。”

The Luo Writing says: "The Star of brightness and prestige falls from the sky; if there is a virtuous ruler, he can use this to correct the world; if there is an unjust ruler, he must flee." The Spring and Autumn Han Han Zi says: "The Star of brightness and prestige flows, indicating warfare with weapons.所谓 'flow' refers to several red beads-like masses of energy hanging beneath the sun, which signifies the king's armies will fight east and west, engaging in close combat." The Spring and Autumn Wei says: "The Star of brightness and prestige flows, indicating the downfall of the king, because he indulges in wine and women and is overthrown by others."

京氏曰：“日出於午，天子失國。”京氏曰：“日出於巳，天子失明，令不行。”《河圖》曰：“日出西方，以母制。”

Jing Fang said: "The Sun rising from the due south at the Wu position signifies the monarch losing his country." Jing Fang said: "The Sun rising from the southeast at the Si position signifies the monarch losing his discernment, and his decrees cannot be implemented." The Yellow River Chart says: "The Sun rising from the west signifies the state affairs being controlled by the monarch's maternal relatives."

《春秋運斗樞》曰：“主弱，公侯狡猾，起莫能匡，則日並照。”《河圖》曰：“日不照，月不消，山吐泉，火燒林。”又曰：“兩日照天下，民飢。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“兩日並出，地裂水不流。”《詩緯推度災》：“逆天地，絕人倫，則二日出相爭。”京氏曰：“兩日並出，是謂諸侯有謀，自底滅亡，天下興兵，無道之臣舉兵亡。”又曰：“兩日並出，天下爭王。”《孝經緯》：“夏時，兩日並出。讖曰：桀無道，兩日照，夷山亡，龍逢誅，人民散，郊社墟。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars says: "When the ruler is weak and the marquises are treacherous, even if someone rises up, he cannot correct the situation, and then two suns appear in the sky together." The Yellow River Chart says: "The sun does not shine, the moon does not wane, springs gush out from the mountains, and a great fire burns the forests." It also says: "When two suns shine over the world, it indicates famine among the people." The Spring and Autumn Hidden Depth says: "When two suns appear together, it signifies the earth cracking open and the rivers drying up." The Poetic Prophecy says: "When one violates heaven and earth and cuts off human relationships, two suns will appear to fight." Jing Fang says: "When two suns appear together, it indicates the feudal lords have plots, and eventually they will bring about their own destruction, with wars breaking out across the land, and the wicked ministers rising up but ultimately failing." It also says: "When two suns appear together, it indicates contention for the throne throughout the world." The Filial Piety Chart says: "During the Xia dynasty, two suns appeared together. The prophecy says: King Jie of Xia was unjust, and two suns shone, causing the Yishan mountain to collapse, Guan Longfeng was killed, the people scattered, and the temples and altars of the outskirts became ruins."

《博物志》曰：“桀時，費昌之河上見二日；在東者焰焰將起，在西者沈沈將滅，若疾雷之聲，問於馮夷曰：‘何者為夏？何者為殷？’夷曰：“西日為夏，東日為殷，桀將亡乎？於是費昌歸，徙其族於東，歸商也。’”京氏曰：“兩日並出，是謂並明；假主爭明，天下有兩主。”京氏曰：“日並出，無道之臣為君爭功德；先舉兵者昌，後舉兵者亡。”

The *Book of Curious Things* says: "During the time of King Jie of Xia, Fei Chang saw two suns by the Yellow River: the one on the east had blazing flames and was about to rise, while the one on the west was dim and about to fade, accompanied by thunderous sounds. Fei Chang asked the river god Feng Yi: 'Which one is Xia? Which one is Yin?' Feng Yi replied: 'The sun on the west is Xia, and the one on the east is Yin. Xia Jie is about to perish.' So Fei Chang returned and moved his clan to the east, submitting to the Shang." Jing Fang said: "When two suns appear together, this is called 'both bright'; someone pretending to be the ruler competes with the true ruler for brightness, and the world will have two rulers." Jing Fang also said: "When the sun appears together, it signifies a minister without virtue competing with the ruler for merit; the one who starts the rebellion will flourish, while the one who follows will perish."

《荊州占》曰：“兩日並出以上，是謂亂明；亂明出，天下大亂。家有親親，欲同謀上，皆成形。不出三年，五穀大貴，一石值千錢，國大飢。”《荊州占》曰：“兩日以上出，天下有災，夏以兩日亡。”《尚書考靈曜》曰：“（闕）帝之亡，三日並照。”（《晉陽春秋》曰：建武元年，三日並出，觀臺令史諫章曰：天下其三分乎？）巫咸曰：三日並見於房心下，不出一年，天下治；有裂地為三州者。”京氏曰：“三日並出，大臣爭奪王政。”又曰三日並出，不出三旬，諸侯爭為王。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: "If more than two suns appear, this is called 'luan ming' [chaos of brightness]; when 'luan ming' occurs, the world will be in great disorder. Each family will cling to its own relatives, and all intend to conspire against the sovereign, and these plots have already taken shape. Within three years, the price of grain will surge, one stone worth a thousand coins, and great famine will occur in the country." The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: "If more than two suns appear, it signifies disaster for the world; the Xia dynasty perished because of two suns appearing together." The *Shangshu Kao Lingyao* says: "When the emperor is about to perish, three suns will shine together." (Original note: The *Jinyang Spring and Autumn* records that in the first year of Jianwu, three suns appeared together. The chief astronomer at the observatory submitted a memorial saying: The world is likely to be divided into three parts.) Wu Xian says: "If three suns appear together beneath the constellations Fangsu and Xinxu, within a year the world will be peaceful; there is also a view that the country will split into three states." Jingfang says: "If three suns appear together, it signifies that ministers will contend for the throne." He also says: "If three suns appear together, within thirty days, the feudal lords will compete to proclaim themselves king."

《孝經內記》曰：“三日並出者，國君必亡其位。有人在前後宮中同，人君即亡也。”《荊州占》曰：“三日並出，其國有滅諸侯，有亡地空邑，河水大出；不則其年大兵並大喪。”《春秋緯》曰：“三日並出，天子黜。”又曰：“數日並出，兩主爭。”《京房占》曰：“二日、三日、四日、五日並出，此謂爭明，天下兵作，亦主三、四、六主立。（按《國志》曰：建興四年二月，江東初聞愍帝凶，問群臣並見五日；一日正中央，餘在四邊，夏侯族曰：天下多天子，何所怪也。）《汲冢書》曰：胤甲居西河，天有孳，十日並出。”《淮南子》曰：“堯之時，十日並出，焦禾稼草木，民無所食，堯使羿射之，中其九，烏皆死，墜其翼。”

The "Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: "If three suns appear together, the king will certainly lose his position. If someone is equal in rank with the king in the front palace and the rear palace, the king will immediately perish." The "Jingzhou Divination" says: "If three suns appear together, the country will have a prince being destroyed, lose land and empty cities, and rivers will overflow and flood. Otherwise, there will be great military conflicts and great calamities in that year." The "Spring and Autumn Writings" say: "If three suns appear together, the Son of Heaven will be deposed." It also says: "If several suns appear together, it indicates two kings fighting each other." The "Jingfang Divination" says: "If two, three, four, or five suns appear together, this is called 'struggle for brightness,' indicating that the whole world will have military conflicts, and also indicating that three, four, or six kings will be ruling together." (Original note: According to the "National Annals," in the second year of Jianxing, in the second month, the Eastern Wu just heard the bad news of the death of Emperor Min of Jin, and when asking the ministers, everyone saw five suns together: one in the center, and the other four around it. Xiahou Zuo said: There are many emperors in the world, what is there to be surprised about?) The "Jizi Book" says: "King Yimao of Xia lived in Xihexia, and a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, with ten suns appearing together." The "Huainanzi" says: "During the time of Emperor Yao of Tang, ten suns appeared together, scorching the crops and grass, and the people had nothing to eat. Emperor Yao sent Yi to shoot the suns, and he shot down nine of them, and the nine golden crows all died, their wings falling down one by one."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日重累；甲乙，皇太子重殃；丙丁，大臣折傷；戌巳，后妃失御，為崇是也；庚辛，將卒軍奸大行也；壬癸，君政暮露，而下不掩救也。變變悉悉見見者，亡滅之事，惟有賢君良臣，除大惡，革偽朝，定尊卑；如此則消卻變，眾害伏也。”

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classics of Filial Piety" states: "The Star of Brightness and Prestige appearing repeatedly and accumulating: if it appears on days of Jia and Yi, it indicates the Crown Prince will suffer great calamity; if it appears on days of Bing and Ding, it indicates the ministers will die prematurely or suffer injury; if it appears on days of Wu and Ji, it indicates the empresses will lose control, leading to the emergence of demons and chaos; if it appears on days of Geng and Xin, it indicates the soldiers and officers will indulge in disorder and corruption within the army; if it appears on days of Ren and Gui, it indicates the sovereign's decrees will be as fleeting as the morning dew, and the ministers will not conceal or correct the faults. All these variations continuously appear, all being omens of ruin and destruction; only through a wise sovereign and virtuous ministers, who eliminate great evils, reform false governance, and establish proper hierarchy, can these variations be resolved, and all kinds of calamities be kept hidden and unmanifested."

黃帝曰：“凡日斗，以日中三足烏見，為正日斗也；常以日出食時，候若三足烏，不見者不為斗也。”京氏曰：“兩日斗，天下爭；三日斗，法如雞鬥相搏，當視先滅，以決其事。”《金櫃》曰：“日斗者，人君內無聰明，邪臣爭權。日斗者無精，眾人見烏其中，無救；期六十六日，王者亡其土地。其救，闢四門，來仁賢，授爵分職，循名責躬，則斗不為傷。”

The Yellow Emperor said: "When judging the solar conflict, one must take the appearance of three-footed crows at noon as the true solar conflict; usually observe between sunrise and breakfast time, if the three-footed crows are not seen, it is not considered a solar conflict." Jing Fang said: "When two suns contend, it signifies strife throughout the realm; when three suns contend, it is like a group of roosters fighting, one should observe which one fades first, and thus determine the outcome of the matter." The "Golden Cabinet" said: "Solar conflict arises because the ruler lacks wisdom and wicked ministers contend for power. The contending suns lack brilliance, and all can see the shadow of crows within them. If not corrected, the period will be sixty-six days, and the emperor will lose his territory. The method of correction is: open the gates of the four directions to widely accept opinions, attract virtuous and capable men, confer titles and assign duties, hold people accountable according to their names, and examine oneself, thus the solar conflict will not cause harm."

《海中占》曰：“日斗月蝕，主病脹，偏枯口舌，咽喉心腹。”京氏曰：“日斗，常以日出至食時以斗，斗後烏見，六十日王者亡地，若烏不見，不為斗。凡日斗不及三年，下有拔城大戰，齊燕多水。”京氏曰：“日赤黑比斗者，其國分不出三年，中食人，大小民飢亡。”京氏曰：“日斗，黃者為中勝，中國強；青者為左勝，左國強；白為右勝，右國強；赤為前勝，前國強；黑者為後勝，後國強；不勝者，將有殃。”

The book "Sea Divination" says: "When the Sun and Moon clash, the ruler will suffer from abdominal distension, partial paralysis, and diseases of the mouth, throat, and heart and abdomen." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun clashes, it usually occurs from sunrise to breakfast time. If a shadow of darkness appears after the clash, the emperor will lose his territory within sixty days; if no such shadow appears, it is not considered a clash of the Sun. Whenever the Sun clashes, there will be a major battle of attacking cities and fortresses within three years, and there will be frequent floods in the areas of Qi and Yan." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun clashes with a red and black color, the country will split, and within three years, people will eat each other, and both the rich and poor will suffer from hunger and death." Jing Fang says: "When the Sun clashes, the side with yellow color in the center will win, and the central country will be strong; the side with green color on the left will win, and the country on the left will be strong; the side with white color on the right will win, and the country on the right will be strong; the side with red color in front will win, and the country in front will be strong; the side with black color behind will win, and the country behind will be strong; the side that cannot win will suffer calamity."

京房《對災異》曰：“日斗，或赤、或白、或蒼、或黃虎入邦，此謂守邑破亡，周君以此亡。”又曰：“數日俱出，若斗，天下兵大戰。”石氏曰：“白日與黑日斗，其國相攻，天下有兵，不出三年，大飢。”《春秋緯》曰：“赤日相燙血滂滂；君臣無道行縱橫。”京氏曰：“日斗、有變，暈、日蝕，君死，日皆傷，兵起。呂氏曰：“亂國之主，眾莫親；邪氣蓋積，則蝕斗。（按《尚書璇璣鈴》曰：桀時有日斗蝕。太公《金櫃》曰：三苗時有日斗也。）

Jing Fang's "Discourse on Portents and Anomalies" says: "When a red, white, blue, or yellow tiger-like aura enters a city at noon, this is called 'guarding the city and its destruction,' and the rulers of the Zhou dynasty perished because of this celestial phenomenon." He also says: "When several suns appear together, seeming to fight, this indicates great warfare across the land." Shi Shen says: "When a white sun and a black sun fight, this indicates that the two countries will attack each other, and there will be warfare across the land, and a great famine will occur within three years." The "Spring Annals Weave" says: "When red suns press against each other, blood flows in torrents; the sovereign and ministers act unjustly, and the纵横 (crossing and flowing) forces act recklessly." Jing Fang says: "When the sun fights and there are variations, along with a solar halo and solar eclipse, this indicates the death of the sovereign, the suns all being injured, and warfare arising." Lüshi says: "In a chaotic state, the sovereign is not supported by the people; evil qi accumulates and blocks the light, resulting in solar eclipses and solar fights." (Original book note: According to the "Book of Documents: The Celestial Wheel Bell," during the time of King Jie of Xia, there were solar fights and solar eclipses. The "Golden Cabinet" of Tai Gong says that during the time of the Sanmiao, there were solar fights.)

On each day of the twelve Earthly Branches, the appearance of the Day Star (日斗) is used to determine which surname is associated with the desire to seize the imperial throne.

The "Wei Shi Tu" says: "If a solar eclipse occurs on the day of Xu, it indicates that someone of the Kong surname or the Liu surname has intentions to seize the throne of the Son of Heaven." The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" says: "If a solar eclipse occurs on the day of Hai, it indicates that someone of the Qin surname has intentions to seize the throne of the Son of Heaven." The "Wei Shi Tu" says: "If a solar eclipse occurs on the day of Hai, it indicates that someone of the Qin surname or the Yin surname has intentions to seize the throne of the Son of Heaven." The two texts, "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" and "Wei Shi Tu," differ in the surnames they associate with solar eclipses on certain days, and both can be referenced together.

《春秋感精符》曰：“后妃專則日與月並照。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“日月並照，出數月俱行，或大或大，滿不消；其下必有煞君、滅邦、女主持政、大夫亂綱、夷狄內侵、天下咸兵。”京氏曰：“日月並出，為並明；天下有兩主立。”京氏曰：“《氣占》云：‘日月並俱出，君臣爭明。’”京氏曰：“日月並出，兵在內。”京氏曰：“日月兩見，是（闕××××××）皆有兵飢。”京氏曰：“日月並出，相去二寸，臣下作亂滅其主。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensing the Divine Symbols says: "When the queen consort holds power, the sun and moon will both shine together." The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Investigating Differences says: "When the sun and moon shine together, they continue to move across the sky for several months, sometimes large and sometimes small, and after the moon is full, it does not wane; under such celestial phenomena, there will certainly be events of regicide, the downfall of states, female rulers, disorder among officials, invasion by barbarians, and warfare throughout the land." Jing Fang says: "When the sun and moon appear together, it is called 'both shining,' indicating two kings ruling together."

The Wei Shi Tu says: "When the sun and moon appear together, it indicates the ruler descending from power to become a subject, and the subject rising to become the ruler; in that era, there will be chaos, and people will kill each other." The Xiaojing Neji Tu says: "When the sun and moon appear together, ten days without rain, it indicates military calamity arising from within and spreading outward."

The Luo Writing says: "The Star of brightness and prestige, the moon, and the bright great star appear together in the day, which is called 'striving for brightness' — the three contend for prominence, with no distinction of rank; the great state will weaken, while the small state will grow strong, and someone will be appointed as a marquis and king."

《春秋感精符》曰：“君亡失陽事，日月相干。”石氏曰：“日入月中，並不出，九十日兵大起。”《易令》曰：“日入月中，鐵貴三位，二旬而止。”石氏曰：“日入月中，女主病，不則將軍司馬吉。”一曰：“日在月中，后死。”《荊州占》曰：“日見月中者，不出三年，人主亡；月入日中亦然。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“月入日中，臣賊其主，奪其家。”石氏曰：“月入日中，光不滅，后妃持政。”

石氏曰：“有氣青赤，立在日上，名為冠。”王朔曰：“日冠者，聞也，冠者如半暈也，法當在日上。”如淳曰：“日氣在日上，為冠。”魏氏曰：“冠者，君有私事，在南宮中。”《高宗占》曰：“日冠者，有喜氣從冠外入，從中出有喜喜氣者，謂王相氣潤澤也。”甘氏曰：“日冠，天子立侯王，不出三年。”

Shi Shen said: "There is a green and red colored vapor standing above the Sun, called 'Guan'." Wang Shuo said: "The term 'Ri Guan' refers to 'hearing'; the shape of the Guan vapor resembles half a solar halo, and according to the method, it should appear above the Sun." Wang Chun said: "When the solar vapor appears above the Sun, it is called Guan." Wei said: "When the Guan vapor appears, it indicates the sovereign has private matters, and the matter is in the southern palace." The "Gao Zong Zhan" said: "When the solar Guan appears, there is a joyful vapor coming in from outside the Guan vapor and also emerging from the middle of the Guan vapor, which is a sign of joy; the so-called joyful vapor refers to the vapor that is in the current dominant phase of the Five Phases, with a bright and moist color." Gan De said: "When the Sun has a Guan vapor, it indicates the Son of Heaven will appoint a marquis, and the fulfillment of this omen will not be beyond three years."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日冠，謂臣權在君上也；不損至於進所愛，復不損害忠良，復不損專主威，復不損邪行私，復不損王政衰，復不損謀為非。冠也，謂不以禮自治也；上不知也。”《孝經內記》曰：“日上冠者，君與兄弟姊妹私通。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日冠甲乙，天子欲養仇。丙丁，君臣相反覆，下逆上，上不能止息也。戊巳，妻黨貴寵極也。庚辛，將帥僭號，欲為奸賊也。壬癸，寒賊暴貴。”

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classics" says: "A crown on the sun indicates that the power of the subject exceeds that of the sovereign. If this is not reduced, it will lead to the promotion of those favored by the ruler; if not reduced further, it will harm loyal and virtuous ministers; if not reduced still more, it will lead to the usurpation of the sovereign's authority; if not reduced again, it will result in wrongdoing and private interests; if not reduced once more, it will cause the decline of the sovereign's governance; and if not reduced finally, it will lead to plots against the state. The term 'crown' refers to the refusal to restrain oneself with propriety, while the sovereign remains unaware." The "Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: "A crown-like aura above the sun indicates that the sovereign has private relations with his brothers and sisters." The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classics" says: "If the sun's crown appears on a Jia or Yi day, it indicates that the sovereign is harboring enemies; if it appears on a Bing or Ding day, it indicates that ministers are untrustworthy and rebellious, with the lower ranks opposing the higher, and the sovereign unable to prevent this; if it appears on a Wu or Ji day, it indicates that the faction of the consort is at its height of favor; if it appears on a Geng or Xin day, it indicates that generals are overstepping their ranks and aspiring to become villains; if it appears on a Ren or Gui day, it indicates that a lowly criminal suddenly rises to power."

石氏曰：“氣在日上，名為戴。”又曰：戴之色青赤。”王朔曰：“日戴者，形如直狀，其上微起，在日上為戴。戴者，德也，國有喜也。”如淳曰：“氣在日上為戴。”《高宗占》曰：“重戴，天子有喜，得地，若有所立。”

Shi Shen said: "The qi is above the Sun, called 'Dai'." He also said: "The color of Dai qi is a mixture of blue and red." Wang Shuo said: "所谓日戴 refers to a shape like a straight horizontal line, slightly bulging in the middle, lying above the Sun, which is called Dai. 'Dai' takes the meaning of 'De', indicating the state will have joyful events." Rong Chun said: "Qi above the Sun is called Dai." The "Gao Zong Zhan" said: "The appearance of overlapping Dai qi indicates the Son of Heaven will have joyous events, gain land, or have appointments and conferrals."

石氏曰：“日兩傍有氣，短小，中赤外青，名為珥。”《釋名》曰：“日珥者，在日兩傍之名也；珥言似耳，在兩傍也。”如淳曰：“氣在日傍，直對為珥。”王朔曰：“珥，耳也。珥者，仁也；珥者，近臣也，珥者，親近之人也，珥者，當如珥也。”甘氏曰：“珥，朝有耳，純白色為喪；間赤為兵；間青為疾；間黑為水；間黃為喜。”甘氏曰：“日朝有珥，國有行進之事，其不行，凶能戎。”

Shi Shen said: "There is a kind of vapor on both sides of the sun, which is short and small, with a red center and a blue outer part, called 'er'." The Shiming says: "The vapor on both sides of the sun is called 'er'; it is called so because it resembles an ear, growing on both sides." Rong Chun said: "The vapor on the side of the sun, directly facing the sun's surface, is called 'er'." Wang Shuo said: "Er is the same as ear. Er symbolizes benevolence; er symbolizes close ministers; er symbolizes close people; er should be like an ear ornament, attached to both sides of the sun's disk." Gan De said: "Er is when the court has close ministers who act as eyes and ears. Pure white indicates mourning; mixed with red indicates military affairs; mixed with blue indicates plague; mixed with black indicates flood; mixed with yellow indicates celebration." Gan De also said: "If the sun has an er in the morning, it indicates the country will have travel or military movements; if there is no travel, then misfortune will be in military affairs."

《荊氏占》曰：“日夕有珥，赤黑白，有大客。”董仲舒曰：“日交速而珥，兵大出。”《荊州占》曰：“日交珥，象一方眾兵皆起，軍在外者罷。”《孝經內記》曰：“日珥，赤兵、白喪、青憂、黑死、黃有喜，不出三年。”《孝經內記》曰：“日珥，人主有喜，為拜將軍，苦有子孫；一曰有風。”郗蔭曰：“日珥，人主有喜，兵在外亦有喜。”《洛書》曰：“日珥而張者，即人主有憂，欲聽，欲外。”《荊州占》曰：“日珥北方以及三方，必有疾雷。”

The book Jing Shi Zhan says: "In the evening, if the sun has a珥, with red, black, and white colors mixed together, it indicates that there will be a great guest from afar arriving." Dong Zhongshu says: "If the sun has a quick and overlapping珥, it indicates a large-scale military campaign." The book Jingzhou Zhan says: "If the sun has a crossing珥, it symbolizes that the army of a region will all rise up in rebellion, and the armies outside will have to retreat." The Xiao Jing Nei Ji says: "A red珥 indicates war, a white珥 indicates mourning, a blue珥 indicates worry, a black珥 indicates death, and a yellow珥 indicates joy, and these omens will be verified within three years." The Xiao Jing Nei Ji also says: "A珥 indicates the sovereign will have joy, and will appoint a general; if there are arduous matters, they will affect the descendants; another interpretation says it indicates wind." Xi Meng says: "A珥 indicates the sovereign will have joy, and the side that is waging war outside will also have joy." The Luo Shu says: "If the珥 is spread out, it indicates the sovereign will have worries, will wish to widely listen to opinions, and will wish to take action externally." The Jingzhou Zhan says: "If the珥 appears in the north and extends to the other three directions, there will certainly be a sudden thunderclap."

石氏曰：“有軍；日有一珥為喜，在日西；西軍戰勝，東軍戰敗。在日東，東軍勝，西軍敗。南北亦然。無軍而珥，為拜將。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日左珥者，君有陰事，與傍妻為奸；在西宮中欲立。”《摘亡闢》曰：“日有赤黑珥，夷人起兵，外降附之。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“右珥者，君有重宮，婦人陰事私發。”夏氏曰：“日左右有黃白珥，君下赦。”京氏曰：“日以春有二珥，人君聽事。”王朔曰：“日珥等，兩軍相當，無相奈何。”

Shi Shen said: "When there are armies outside, if the sun has only one ear, it is a good omen; if the ear is on the west side of the sun, the western army will win and the eastern army will lose; if the ear is on the east side of the sun, the eastern army will win and the western army will lose; the same applies to the north and south directions. If there are no armies outside and the ear appears, it indicates the granting of a general's position." The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" said: "If there is an ear on the left side of the sun, it indicates the monarch has secret affairs with a concubine; the matter is in the western palace, and he intends to make her the official wife." The "Zhai Wang Bi" said: "If the sun has red-black ears, it indicates the barbarians will raise an army, and some outsiders will come to submit." The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" said: "If there is an ear on the right side of the sun, it indicates the monarch has another favored concubine, and private affairs of women will occur secretly." Xia Shi said: "If the sun has yellow-white ears on both sides, it indicates the monarch will issue an amnesty decree." Jing Fang said: "If the sun has two ears in spring, it indicates the monarch will personally handle state affairs." Wang Shuo said: "If the ears on both sides of the sun are equal, it indicates two armies are evenly matched, neither can overcome the other."

《摘玉闢》曰：“日有兩珥，無封候桀恐還自伐。”京氏曰：“日兩珥，且有大使，一日兩珥，焰焰如光，為人君有喜。”《洛書》曰：“日兩耳，中赤外青，色黃白潤澤，天子喜。”《洛書》曰：“珥中有赤雲貫日，有名之人死。”京氏曰：“日有三珥，人君有女子憂。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“珥有四，天子大喜。”石氏曰：“日有四珥，天子拜將，太子立王候。”甘氏曰：“日四珥，天子有子孫喜期不出三年。”京氏曰：“日出四珥，將軍亡；日入四珥，有大兵。”京氏曰：“日朝五珥，國憂，兵起。夕珥臨日兩傍，必有大客來言北方之事。”甘氏曰：“日有六珥，命曰大提；六十日分有喪，若赤雲掩日，下有亡國。”

The "Zhai Yu Pi" says: "The Sun has two ear-like prominences; this portends that violent and ruthless individuals who are not granted titles may turn against each other." Jing Fang says: "The Sun having two ear-like prominences indicates the arrival of an important envoy; another interpretation says that if the Sun has two ear-like prominences with bright and radiant light, it signifies the ruler's joy." The "Luo Writing" says: "If the Sun has two ear-like prominences, with a red center and a blue outer ring, and the color is yellow-white and moist, it indicates the emperor's joy." The "Luo Writing" also says: "If there is a red cloud spanning across the Sun's ear-like prominences, it indicates the death of a person of reputation." Jing Fang says: "If the Sun has three ear-like prominences, it indicates the ruler's worry about matters concerning women." The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: "If there are four ear-like prominences, it indicates the emperor's great joy." Shi Shen says: "If the Sun has four ear-like prominences, it indicates the emperor bestowing a general's title and the enfeoffment of princes and marquises." Gan De says: "If the Sun has four ear-like prominences, it indicates the emperor's joy over descendants, and this will occur within three years." Jing Fang says: "If there are four ear-like prominences at sunrise, it indicates the death of a general; if there are four ear-like prominences at sunset, it indicates major military affairs." Jing Fang also says: "If the Sun has five ear-like prominences in the morning, it indicates national troubles and the outbreak of military conflicts; if the ear-like prominences appear closely on both sides of the Sun's disk in the evening, there will certainly be a distant great guest reporting matters from the north." Gan De says: "If the Sun has six ear-like prominences, they are called 'Da Ti'; within sixty days, there will be mourning in the region corresponding to the division of the land; if there is also a red cloud covering the Sun, a country below will be destroyed."

如淳注《漢書》曰：“氣如半環，向日為抱。”蔡伯喈曰：“氣見於日傍，內曲向日為抱。”京氏曰：“氣青外赤內，曲向日月為抱；兩軍相當，順抱者勝。”王朔曰：“氣向日，暈狀而短，則為抱。抱者，苞也；苞者，附也。抱者，近臣也；抱者，和親也。按其色占之，抱黃白潤澤，法有赦。”京氏曰：“氣向日月為抱；抱多者，來親附者眾多也。”

Ru Chun's commentary on the "Book of Han" says: "The shape of the qi is like half a circular ring, with the curved side facing the sun, which is called 'bao.'" Cai Yong says: "The qi appears near the sun, with the inner curved side facing the sun, which is called 'bao.'" Jing Fang says: "The qi has a green outer layer and a red inner part, curving toward the sun and moon; this is called 'bao.' When two armies face each other, the side facing the 'bao' qi will win." Wang Shuo says: "The qi facing the sun, shaped like a solar halo but shorter, is called 'bao.' 'Bao' means 'bao,' which means 'to attach.' 'Bao' symbolizes a close minister and also symbolizes marriage alliances. According to its color, if the 'bao' qi is yellow-white and moist, it indicates an imperial pardon according to the method." Jing Fang says: "The qi facing the sun and moon is called 'bao.' A large amount of 'bao' qi indicates many people coming to attach themselves."

孫氏《瑞應圖》曰：“君賢得土地，則有黃抱。”京氏曰：“氣抱日為和親，見者其臣欲親。”石氏曰：“日抱，鄰國臣佐來降。”石氏曰：“抱氣青赤，在日月傍，為其分；若王者有子孫之喜。”《孝經援神契》曰：“黃氣抱日，輔臣納忠。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日光潤澤，有抱國昌。”《洛書》曰：“日抱，黃白潤澤，中赤外青，天子有喜；有和親來降者，軍不戰敵降軍罷。色青將喜，赤將兵爭，白將來，黑將死。”

The Sun Zi's "Ruiying Tu" says: "When a ruler is virtuous and gains territory, yellow qi embracing the sun appears." Jing Fang says: "Qi embracing the sun indicates harmony and friendly relations; seeing this qi signifies that ministers wish to be close to the ruler." Shi Shen says: "When the sun has embracing qi, it indicates that ministers from neighboring states will submit." Shi Shen also says: "Embracing qi appears in green and red colors, near the sun and moon, and corresponds to its associated region; it also indicates the emperor has joy in having descendants." The "Xiaojing Yu Shenqi" says: "Yellow qi embracing the sun indicates that ministers will offer loyal advice." The "Xiaojing Neiji Tu" says: "When the sunlight is moist and there is embracing qi, it indicates the state will flourish." The "Luoshu" says: "When the sun is embraced by yellow and white moist qi, with red in the center and blue on the outside, it indicates the emperor has joy; if there are those who come to be friendly and submit, the army does not need to fight and the enemy will surrender. If the qi is green, it indicates joy for generals; if red, it indicates military conflict among generals; if white, it indicates generals will arrive; if black, it indicates the death of generals."

《高宗占》曰：“抱傍有黃氣，如人像；人主有賢，佐匡天下。”夏氏曰：“日有兩齊等以戰，抱先衰者敗。”《高宗占》曰：“《日傍氣圖》：‘日有兩抱，外慾自親者；人主有喜。’”夏氏曰：“日傍有氣抱，戰勝無軍，有欲和親者。”《高宗日傍氣圖》曰：“日有三抱，天子喜，天下和平，色赤，黃、白皆吉，若有親者。”《孝經內記》曰：“日四傍各有重抱，四方附信也。”《高宗占日傍氣圖》曰：“日四抱，天子有喜，皆將相向主，若有來和親者。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日傍抱五重，再戰，順抱者勝也。”

The "Gaozong Divination" says: "When there is a yellow gas embracing the sun, shaped like human figures, it indicates the monarch will obtain virtuous talents, and the ministers will assist in rectifying the world." Xia said: "When the two embracing gases on both sides of the sun are equal and appear as two armies fighting, the side whose embracing gas first weakens will be defeated." The "Gaozong Divination" says: "The 'Sun Beside Gas Diagram' states: 'When the sun has two layers of embracing gas, it indicates people from outside will actively come to submit; the monarch will be joyful.'" Xia said: "When there is embracing gas around the sun, it indicates victory in battle; if there are no armies outside, it indicates someone wishes to marry into the royal family." The "Gaozong Sun Beside Gas Diagram" says: "When the sun has three layers of embracing gas, it indicates the Son of Heaven will be joyful, and the world will be peaceful; the colors red, yellow, and white are all auspicious, indicating people will come to submit." The "Xiaojing Neiji" says: "When there are overlapping layers of embracing gas on all four sides of the sun, it indicates all four directions will submit and remain loyal." The "Gaozong Sun Beside Gas Diagram" says: "When the sun has four layers of embracing gas, it indicates the Son of Heaven will be joyful, and all regions will face the monarch, or someone will wish to marry into the royal family." Xia's "Sun Halo Diagram" says: "When there are five layers of embracing gas around the sun, it indicates another battle will occur, and the side towards which the embracing gas extends will win."

京氏曰：“日中赤外青曲向外，名為背。”蔡伯喈曰：“氣見於日傍，外曲，曰背。”石氏曰：“背氣青赤而曲，外向，為叛象，其分臣反。”石氏曰：“日背，有反臣；若邊將去，善防之。”夏氏曰：“日背：背者，大夫卿欲為主。”《孝經內記》曰：“日兩背，有反者。”《孝經內記》曰：“日四背，有兵兵罷，無兵兵起，以宿分占之。”《太公兵法》曰：“日四背見，軍在外有反者。”《摘亡闢》曰：“日四背，天下駭擾，大將起在中野。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日四背，天下駭擾，大將起在中野。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日背而，天下分裂，臣子得志，主上弱。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“諸侯謀反，五背刺日。”

Jing Fang said, "The qi is red in the center and blue on the outside, curving outward, and is called 'back qi'." Cai Yong said, "When the qi appears near the Sun, curving outward, it is called back qi." Shi Shen said, "Back qi is red and blue, curving like a bow with the back facing outward, which is an omen of betrayal, indicating that there will be rebellion in the corresponding region." Shi Shen said, "When the Sun has back qi, it indicates there will be a rebellious minister; if an outlying general is traveling outside, he should be well guarded against." Xia Shi said, "所谓日背" refers to a situation where a minister or high-ranking official intends to establish himself as the master. The "Xiaojing Neiji" said, "When the Sun has two layers of back qi, it indicates there will be rebellion." The "Xiaojing Neiji" said, "When the Sun has four layers of back qi, if there was originally military action, it will cease; if there was no military action, it will start. It should be interpreted according to the star mansion corresponding to the Sun's position." The "Taigong Bingfa" said, "When the Sun has four layers of back qi, it indicates there will be rebellion within the army outside." The "Zhaiwangbi" said, "When the Sun has four layers of back qi, it indicates great disturbance throughout the world, and great generals will raise armies in the open fields." The "Chunqiu Ganjingfu" said, "When the Sun has four layers of back qi, it indicates great disturbance throughout the world, and great generals will raise armies in the open fields." The "Chunqiu Kao Yiyou" said, "When the Sun has back qi, it indicates the world will be divided, ministers will gain power, and the sovereign will be weak." The "Chunqiu Kao Yiyou" said, "When there is a plot among the feudal lords to rebel, there will be five paths of back qi piercing the Sun."

石氏曰：“氣青赤，曲向外，中有一橫，狀如帶鉤，名為璚。”如淳曰：“日刺日曰璚。璚決傷也。”孟康曰：“璚者，日將蝕，先有異氣也。”王朔曰：“日璚，璚者，決也；璚者，謫也，為汞離也。”夏氏曰：“日傍有青璚，大臣有去者；不去，有德令也。”

Shi Shen said: "A qi appears in a bluish-red color, curved outward, with a horizontal line in the middle, shaped like a hook, called 'Jue.' " Ru Chun said: "There is a qi that pierces into the Sun like a needle, called Jue; Jue means rupture and injury." Meng Kang said: "Jue is an abnormal qi that appears before an eclipse of the Sun." Wang Shuo said: "所谓日Jue, Jue refers to 'decide' as in 'ju'; Jue also refers to 'reproach' as in 'zhe', meaning separation like mercury." Xia said: "When there is a bluish Jue qi around the Sun, it indicates a minister is about to leave; if he does not leave, it signifies the issuance of a decree of grace."

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日璚者，此變最劇，敗傷君者也。致滅上有之徵，禍從君不禁下起；在左右，禍從臣詐主；在上，禍從妃后；在下，禍從臣專政。從為自用，橫為暴多，有奸臣通。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“臣謀反，璚刺日。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日傍一璚，萬人死其下。”夏氏曰：“日四璚，有兵兵罷，無兵兵起。（闕××××××）《春秋感精符》曰：“日四璚並立，政不一。（按《五行傳》曰：“日傍有氣，皆為晉國之將亡，四璚刺日，而後三卿分晉，以滅其祀。）”《春秋感精符》曰：“日九璚，後起之人並出。”

The "Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu" says: "What is called the 'Jiu Qi,' this kind of change is the most intense, and it leads to the destruction and harm of the sovereign, indicating a sign of downfall and the loss of the ruler's position; calamity arises when the sovereign is unable to restrain his ministers. If the Jiu Qi appears on the left and right, calamity comes from ministers deceiving the sovereign; if it appears above, calamity comes from the concubine and empress; if it appears below, calamity comes from ministers monopolizing the government. If the Jiu Qi is vertical, it indicates the sovereign is stubborn and self-willed; if it is slanted, it indicates many acts of cruelty and the collusion of corrupt ministers inside and outside." The "Chun Qiu Kao Yi You" says: "When ministers plot rebellion, the Jiu Qi pierces the Sun." The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: "If there is a Jiu Qi beside the Sun, it indicates that the area below it will have the death of more than ten thousand people." Xia said: "If the Sun has four Jiu Qi, then if there was originally a military conflict, it will end; if there was no military conflict, it will start. (The original text here is missing six characters.)" The "Chun Qiu Gan Jing Fu" says: "If there are four Jiu Qi standing side by side on the Sun, it indicates that the government orders will not come from one source." (Original note: According to the "Wu Xing Zhuan," the appearance of these gases beside the Sun are all omens of the downfall of the state of Jin; if four Jiu Qi pierce the Sun, afterwards the three ministers Han, Zhao, and Wei will divide Jin and extinguish the ancestral sacrifices of Jin.) The "Chun Qiu Gan Jing Fu" also says: "If there are nine Jiu Qi on the Sun, it indicates that those who rise up to claim the throne will appear together."

《春秋呂氏》曰：“人主自恣，不修古王道，逆天暴物，妖禍起，地曜，日璚，日反光地曜，璚氣上刺反光，日景見南；又上光盛，無能見輪體，及至反光，午上體見。光微沒時，卻忽時暫明，亦如燈將盡而光忽暫明熾；自古以來，將亡之國，必生暴君虐主；其君必夭蕩其志，使窮極驕盈，而神照如來，故以反光深誡之也。”

The Wei Shu "Chun Qiu Lu Shi" says: When a ruler indulges himself and does not follow the ways of ancient sage kings, opposing the natural order and harming all things, strange omens and disasters will arise. A fiery light will rise from the ground, and a "Qiu" aura will appear beside the sun. The sun will also display "reverse light," causing the earth to shine at the same time. The "Qiu" aura will rise upward, corresponding with the reverse light, and the sun's shadow will appear to the south. There is another situation: the upper light is too strong, making the sun's disk invisible. But when the reverse light appears, the sun's true form will reappear at noon. When the sunlight weakens and is about to disappear, it suddenly becomes briefly bright, like an oil lamp about to go out, suddenly flaring up with a bright flame. Since ancient times, when a nation is about to perish, a tyrannical ruler will surely arise. Such a ruler will certainly indulge his desires, reaching the peak of arrogance and pride. The divine observation will then descend, so heaven uses the phenomenon of "reverse light" as a deep warning to him.

石氏曰：“日直，色赤丈餘，正立日月之傍，名為直。其分有自立者。”夏氏曰：“日直，直者正直，在日上下左右，主直臣自立也；直在下，光色潤澤，有立侯王者。”夏氏曰：“日有英直，君立臣；青赤直臣自立。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日傍有一直，色黃白潤澤，有立候王。”《洛書》曰：“有一傍直，一方欲自立侯王，有二傍直，二方欲自立；三傍直，三方欲自立；四傍直，四方皆欲自立侯王。”《孝經內記》曰：“日傍有一直，蔽在一傍欲自立，從直所擊者勝。”

The astronomer Shi Shen of the Warring States period said: the "straight" light appearing beside the sun is a column of red light, more than ten feet long, standing upright beside the sun and moon, hence named "straight." The area corresponding to this light will have someone who will self-proclaim as king or marquis. The diviner Xia said: "straight" refers to the meaning of "upright and just," appearing above, below, left, or right of the sun, indicating a loyal minister establishing his own domain. If the "straight" light appears below the sun and has a bright, moist appearance, someone will be appointed as a marquis or king. Xia also said that a bright and outstanding "straight" light beside the sun indicates the monarch appointing officials; a "straight" light of blue and red color indicates officials establishing their own authority. Xia's "Sun Halo Diagram" said that a "straight" light beside the sun, yellow-white and moist, indicates someone will be appointed as a marquis or king. The "Luo Writing" said: if there is one "straight" light on one side, one region will self-proclaim as a marquis or king; if there are two, two regions will self-proclaim; if there are three, three regions will self-proclaim; if there are four, four regions will self-proclaim as marquises or kings. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji" said: if there is one "straight" light beside the sun, blocking one side, that region will desire to self-proclaim; when two armies fight, the side attacking in the direction of the "straight" light will win.

《孝經內記》曰：“日傍有兩直，其色潤澤，有侯王立。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日傍有二直；欲自立者，其色中赤外青，不成。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日有二重直在，左右謀欲自立。”《洛書》曰：“日四直者，是謂四強；色黃白潤澤，天子有喜，安足無兵，國金倖臣使王。色青，天子有憂；赤，有兵；白，民多喪；黑，主死，國分。”

The Xiaoshijing Neiji says: When there are two 'straight' qi lines on either side of the Sun, which are bright and lustrous in color, a prince or king will be appointed. The Xia Shi's "Riyun Tu" says: When there are two 'straight' lines on either side of the Sun, it indicates that someone wishes to establish himself as ruler; if these lines are red on the inside and blue on the outside, then the attempt to establish oneself will fail. The "Ri Bang Qi Tu" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: When there are two 'straight' qi lines standing side by side on either side of the Sun, it indicates that the ministers close to the ruler are plotting to establish themselves. The Luo Shu says: When there are 'straight' qi lines on all four sides of the Sun, it is called "Si Qiang" (Four Strengths); if these lines are yellow and white and lustrous, the Son of Heaven will have joyous events, the country will be peaceful without military conflicts, the state will have abundant resources, and favored ministers will be sent on missions and granted titles of kingship. If these lines appear blue, the Son of Heaven will have worries; if they appear red, there will be military disasters; if they appear white, many common people will die; if they appear black, the ruler will die and the territory will be divided.

王朔曰：“日有交，交者，青赤如暈狀，或如合背，或正直，交者，偏交者，兩氣相交也。或相貫穿，或相背交，主內亂，軍中不知。”石氏曰：“日交，人受淫勃之氣。”京氏曰：“偏交在日傍，從交在日，傍交所擊者勝。”甘氏曰：“常以九月上景侯日，傍交赤雲，其下有兵。”

Han dynasty astrologers who observed atmospheric phenomena, such as Wang Shuo, said that the "sun" has a "junction" or "intersection" of qi. The term "junction" refers to a bluish-red color, resembling a halo around the sun, which sometimes appears as two "back" qi converging together, or as a straight vertical shape. The "junction" is further divided into "correct junction" and "biased junction," both of which are instances where two streams of qi intersect with each other. These intersections may either pass through each other or cross against each other, indicating internal disturbances in the country, while the military remains unaware. Shi Shen said that seeing a "junction" near the sun indicates that people on earth have been influenced by chaotic and rebellious qi. Jing Fang of the Han dynasty said that a "biased junction" near the sun indicates a side attack, while a "correct junction" attached to the sun indicates a direct confrontation; when two armies face each other, the side that attacks in the direction indicated by the "junction" qi will win. Gan De said that usually on the first ten days of the ninth lunar month, on clear days, one should observe the sky. If there are red clouds crossing near the sun, the area below the clouds will experience military conflict.

夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日傍有赤雲，曲如車蓋映日，名曰扶提；不出其年，有自立者，以日宿占之。”《荊州占》曰：“日傍有白雲，曲而向日，其一者居東方，其一者居西方，名曰提；不出其年，中有自立者。”《孝經內記》曰：“日有赤雲，如車輪，或二或四，按圖有二雲，或背日或向日，當如車蓋，不應如車輪，字之誤也。其背向外提，外臣背其主；二提，期三十日至；四提，期六十日至。”

The Xia family's "Diagram of the Solar Halo" says: When there is a red cloud beside the sun, curving like the canopy of a carriage and reflecting toward the sun, it is called "Futi"; within this year, there will be someone who establishes himself as a king. To determine where this will occur, one should look at the star mansion corresponding to the position of the sun at that time. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When there is white cloud beside the sun, curving toward the sun, with one part to the east and one to the west, it is called "Ti"; within this year, there will be someone who establishes himself as a king. The "Xiaojing Neiji" says: When there is a red cloud beside the sun, shaped like a chariot wheel, either two or four pieces — according to the original diagram, it is drawn as two clouds, either facing away from or toward the sun, and the shape should resemble a canopy, not a chariot wheel, "chariot wheel" being a mistake in transmission. If these clouds face outward to form "Ti", it indicates that a minister outside the court will betray his sovereign; the occurrence of two "Ti" indicates an event within thirty days; the occurrence of four "Ti" indicates an event within sixty days.

《孝經內記》曰：“日傍有赤雲，如車輪，四曲向日，名曰兵提；不出其年，有自立者，以宿占之。”甘氏曰：“日四傍有赤雲，曲而向日，名曰四提。”《荊州占》：“提猶耳也，不出其年中，兵起王者死；一曰亡地，有自立者。”《孝經內記》：“日四提，不出二年，大有兵，大將出亡，五穀貴價一倍，三十日至，大雨不止。”京氏曰：“四提，不出二年，有大兵，有大飢。”高宗曰：“日六提，國君當之宜防。”京氏曰：“日六提，天子亡，布貴，天下亂，五十日至。”

The Xiao Jing Nei Ji says: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige is surrounded by red clouds shaped like a chariot wheel, with four curved parts facing the sun, it is called "bing ti" (military banner). This omen indicates that within this year, someone will proclaim himself king, and the country where this occurs should be determined by the star mansion corresponding to the position of the sun. Gan De says: When the sun is surrounded by red clouds on all four sides, curving towards the sun, it is called "si ti" (four banners). The Jingzhou Zhuan says: "Ti" resembles the two ears of a person attached to the sun; seeing this omen indicates that within this year, warfare will break out, the king will die, or a country will be lost and someone will proclaim himself king. The Xiao Jing Nei Ji also says: When the sun has four "ti" around it, within two years there will be a large-scale military conflict, generals will flee, grain prices will double, the time of occurrence is thirty days, and there will be continuous heavy rain. Jing Fang says: When "si ti" appears, within two years there will be a great war and a severe famine. A saying attributed to Yin Gaozong says: When the sun has six "ti," the sovereign will bear this calamity and should prepare in advance. Jing Fang also says: When the sun has six "ti," the Son of Heaven will perish, silk and cloth will become very expensive, and chaos will spread throughout the land, with the time of occurrence being fifty days.

董仲舒曰：“殷時，在雲居日左右，曲布向日，名曰日提。”占曰：“不出六年，天子不利，必有立者。高宗感之修德，昌祚數百年，可謂災消而福生也。”

Han Confucian scholar Dong Zhongshu said that during the Shang dynasty, there was a cloud that remained near the Sun, bending towards it, called "Ri Ti" (Sun's Lift). The divination text of that time said: "Within six years, the Son of Heaven will have misfortune, and certainly someone else will be established as king." King Wu Ding of the Shang dynasty became alert due to this celestial phenomenon, diligently cultivated virtue and governance, and thus the Shang dynasty's rule flourished for hundreds of years. It can be said that the calamity was resolved and blessings followed.

甘氏曰：“有青氣，橫在日上下者，為格也；格者，格鬥之象也。”

Gan De said: If there is a green aura stretching across above or below the Sun, this is called "Ge"; "Ge" symbolizes combat and struggle, indicating that there will be disputes and warfare among people.

《洛書》曰：“日下有赤黑青氣，是謂履氣，交日下將纓，或曰紐也，天子有喜，有臣反從外來者，所以然者；日，天子之象也，黑水之精也，赤臨是謂水火相薄，故言天子喜；水者陷，故言有臣從外來反。”

The Luo Writing says: Below the Star of brightness and prestige there are three kinds of qi, red, black, and blue, which is called the "steps" qi; when it converges beneath the sun and hangs down like a coronal tassel, it is also called the "loop." Seeing this image indicates that the sovereign will have joy and celebration, while at the same time a minister from abroad will return and rebel. The reason for this interpretation is that the Star of brightness and prestige symbolizes the sovereign. Black is the essence of water, and the red qi presses upon it above, indicating a struggle between water and fire. Fire overcoming water signifies the manifestation of Yang Virtue, hence the sovereign's joy. Water tends to descend, indicating danger and collapse, hence the minister from abroad will rebel.

夏氏曰：“承者，氣如半暈，在日下則名為承。承者，臣承君也，為君臣相承，有吉。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日下有黃氣，三重若抱，名曰承福；人主有吉喜，且得地。”

Xia Shi said: The term "cheng" refers to a shape resembling half a halo of light appearing beneath the sun, which is called "cheng." The term "cheng" signifies the meaning of a subject serving the sovereign, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between sovereign and subject, and is a favorable celestial phenomenon. The "Diagram of the Solar Halo" attributed to Yin Gaozong states that when there is a yellowish aura beneath the sun, layered three times and surrounding it like a "hug," it is called "chengfu." Seeing this phenomenon indicates that the sovereign will experience auspicious joy and gain the favor of the land.

《洪範傳》曰：“日抱、珥重光，以見吉祥；君獲賀，福祿並降。”夏氏曰：“日冠而珥，人主有喜，且有所立，期不出年中。”《洛書》曰：“日平曉，冠有兩珥，色黃白潤澤，天子有喜，聽言立王；色青，憂；白，喪；黑，死。所以然者，平曉至食時，為王兩珥有所聽，黃白兩設為有喜立。”王朔曰：“日冠當有兩珥，甚吉。”魏氏曰：“日冠右珥者，邦東有善人出，得位。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日冠左珥者，君為婦母私相知。”

The Hongfan Transmission says: The Sun has a "gao" aura surrounding it, and a "er" aura resembling earlobes, with overlapping brilliance, which is a sign of auspiciousness; the ruler will receive celebration, and both happiness and official rank will be bestowed. Xia said: The Sun has a "guan" aura and also a "er" aura, indicating the ruler has joy and will appoint someone, and this will happen within the same year. The Luo Writing says: In the morning when the Sun first rises, there is a "guan" aura above it and "er" auras on both sides, with yellow and white colors that are moist and lustrous, indicating the Son of Heaven has joy and will accept advice and appoint a prince; if these auras appear green, it signifies worry; white, signifies mourning; black, signifies death. This is so interpreted: from dawn to breakfast time, this period belongs to the ruler's position, and the two "er" auras symbolize the ruler receiving input, while the presence of yellow and white colors together indicates an appointment of a prince. Wang Shuo said: When the Sun has a "guan" aura, there should also be two "er" auras to match, which is a great auspicious sign. Wei said: When the Sun has a "guan" aura and only has an "er" aura on the right, there will be a virtuous person emerging in the eastern part of the country and receiving an official position. The Xiaojing Cixiong Tu says: When the Sun has a "guan" aura and only has an "er" aura on the left, it indicates the ruler has an improper intimacy with the mother of his wife.

《孝經內記》曰：“日左珥冠者，君東宮私婦女之事。”石氏曰：“日冠右珥者，邦南善人慾為政位。”魏《洛書》曰：“日兩珥，有直出珥中，中赤外青，色皆黃白潤澤，天子有珠寶，喜立王侯。所以然者，日，天子之象，珠者，陰之榮也；直者，輔也；黃白潤澤，故言天子有喜寶，直有立侯，青有憂，赤有兵，白有喪，黑者水也。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日出而珥戴，王子有德令；一日有賀喜。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日四傍有四珥，珥外左右有二抱者，子孫昌。”

The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: The Sun has a 'ear' on its left and a 'crown' above it, indicating the monarch has private relations with women in the eastern palace. Shi Shen says: The Sun has a 'crown' aura and a 'ear' on its right, meaning there is a virtuous person in the southern border who wishes to attain power. The Wei version of the Luo Writing says: The Sun has 'ears' on both sides, and a 'straight' aura emerges from the 'ears', red inside and blue outside, overall yellow and white with a moist and lustrous appearance, indicating the emperor will obtain jewels and there will be joyous events of enfeoffing princes and marquises. This is interpreted as follows: The Sun symbolizes the emperor, jewels are the most beautiful things among the yin category; the 'straight' aura signifies ministers who assist the ruler; the yellow and white moist and lustrous colors are auspicious, thus indicating the emperor will have joy from obtaining treasures and the presence of the 'straight' aura will lead to the establishment of marquisates. If these auras are blue, it indicates worry; red, warfare; white, mourning; black, associated with water, indicating floods. The Diagram of the Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: When the Sun rises with a 'ear' and a 'cap' aura, the prince will issue virtuous decrees. Another interpretation says that on the day there will be a joyful event to celebrate. The Diagram of the Male and Female of the Classic of Filial Piety says: The Sun has four 'ears' around it, and on the left and right sides of the outer part of the 'ears' there are each a 'embrace' aura, indicating prosperity of descendants.

司馬遷《天宮書》曰：“日抱且戴喜。”《孝經援神契》曰：“王者德至於天，則日抱戴。”京氏曰：“日抱一背為破走；抱者，順氣也；背者，逆氣也；兩軍相當，順抱擊逆者勝，故言破走。”《洛書》曰：“日抱有一珥，色皆白潤澤，中赤外青，平晚至食時見，天子有喜；日中至日入，色蒼白潤澤，為有人從外來者，在喜事者，不可信也。”高宗曰：“日抱兩珥，下有黃氣如月，名曰遺德。有，太子喜；無氣，天子喜。”高宗曰：“日重抱在左右，人主有喜。”

Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Celestial Officials" says that the Sun has "embrace" and "wear" energies, which indicate joy and celebration. The "Xiaojing Yunshenqi" says that when a ruler's virtue moves heaven, the Sun will display "embrace" and "wear" energies. Jing Fang says that the Sun has one "embrace" and one "back" energy, which indicates the enemy's defeat and retreat; "embrace" is the energy of favorable encirclement, while "back" is the energy of separation; when two armies face each other, the side with the "embrace" energy can attack the side with the "back" energy and win, so it is said to result in "defeat and retreat." The "Luo Writing" says that when the Sun has "embrace" energy and a single "ear" (a type of celestial phenomenon), if the color is white and moist, with inner red and outer blue, and appears between early morning and breakfast time, the Son of Heaven will have joy; if it appears between noon and sunset, with pale and moist color, it indicates someone coming from afar, though the news may be good, it should not be trusted. A claim attributed to Yin Gaozong says that when the Sun has "embrace" energy and two "ears," with yellow energy below shaped like a crescent moon, called "left virtue," the presence of this yellow energy indicates the prince's joy, while its absence indicates the Son of Heaven's joy. It also says that when the Sun has two layers of "embrace" energy on both sides, the ruler will have joy.

高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日有重抱兩珥，人主有喜。”夏氏曰：“日重抱，中有璚順抱擊者勝，軍中有欲反者。”又曰：“重抱且背，順抱擊者勝，得地並有罷師。《洛書》曰：“三抱重有兩珥正方，色皆黃白潤澤，天子有喜，是謂大和。抱者親和之象也；珥方者，兵之象也。”《春秋渾付》曰：“人主修名無誠，言外方語內懷，負心驕蹇自恣，不謁忠稱孝，毀所增；日背，璚，青赤不明。”《洛書》曰：“日背而內，璚色中黑，故言水，主大臣反，故言天子有憂。

A diagram called "The Sun's Side Atmosphere" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: The Sun has overlapping "embrace" clouds and two "ear" clouds, indicating joy and celebration for the ruler. Xia said: The Sun has a double "embrace," with a "jue" cloud shaped like a gap inside the "embrace." When two armies are facing each other, the side attacking along the direction of the "embrace" will win, and there will be people in the enemy army who wish to rebel. It also says: If there is a double "embrace" and a "back" cloud, the side attacking along the direction of the "embrace" will win, and they will be able to take land, and the enemy army will disband. The Luo Writing says: The Sun has three layers of "embrace" clouds overlapping, with two "ear" clouds neatly arranged on both sides, all yellow and white and bright. The Son of Heaven has joy and celebration, which is called "great harmony." The "embrace" symbolizes closeness and harmony; the "ear" being upright symbolizes military affairs. The "Chunqiu Hunfu" says: If the ruler only decorates his reputation without sincerity, if what he says does not match what he thinks, if he goes against his conscience, is arrogant and unrestrained, does not promote loyal ministers, does not honor filial piety, and damages the virtue that should be increased, then the Sun will show "back" clouds and "jue" clouds, which are dark and bluish-red. The Luo Writing says: If the Sun has "back" clouds with the cloud opening facing inward, and the "jue" clouds are black inside, black belongs to water, which indicates rebellion by ministers, so the Son of Heaven has worries.

外赤中黑，故言有水火相伐，反臣從中起，天子死。”京氏曰：“日背、璚在日之南及其三方者，其國有反臣。”《易緯》曰：“日背，璚重累，小人略地，大人爭時。”京氏曰：“日月皆璚，其國有反者。”《洛罪級》曰：“日背、璚，不言內乖惡。”《摘亡闢》曰：“日背、璚並出，顛倒相貫屈，天子滅，下作禍。”《春秋緯》曰：“桀之世，有後通族擅權，背、璚刺日，垂其耀光，有此，則亡引也。”《春秋感精符》：“君臣乖錯不和，則日背、璚。”

Building upon the theory of the Luo Writing: this kind of qi appears red on the outside and black inside, hence it is said that water and fire are in conflict, and rebellious ministers rise up in rebellion from within the court, the Son of Heaven is about to die. Jing Fang said: when the 'back' qi and 'juan' qi appear on the south side of the Sun and the other three sides, the country corresponding to that area will have rebellious ministers. The Yi Wei says: when the Sun has 'back' qi and 'juan' qi, it indicates that petty men will encroach upon land and great men will compete for the right moment. Jing Fang also said: when both the Sun and the Moon have 'juan' qi, the country will have people plotting rebellion. The Luo Zui Ji says: when the Sun has 'back' and 'juan' qi, it signifies internal discord and wrongdoing that has not yet been spoken of. The Zhai Wang Pi says: when 'back' qi and 'juan' qi appear together, they are inverted and confused, interwoven and twisted, the Son of Heaven will be destroyed, and ministers will incite chaos. The Chun Qiu Wei says: during the time of King Jie of Xia, the queen's clan seized power, 'back' qi and 'juan' qi pierced the Sun directly, hanging down bright light, and when such heavenly phenomena occur, it is a premonition of the country's downfall. The Chun Qiu Gan Jing Fu says: when there is discord and disorder between the ruler and ministers, the Sun will display 'back' qi and 'juan' qi.

高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日傍有一直，赤氣如鱗在上，近臣欲自立也。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日有二背一直，大臣謀欲自立也。”甘氏曰：“日四璚，是謂大役，軍眾在外有反者。”《孝經內記》曰：“日有四背、璚，無軍在外，而見天下兵起；軍在外，天下兵盡罷。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日四背、璚，臣射主。”《孝經內記》曰：“日四背、璚，氣如大車隨者四，人主不安，大國不出一年；大車貫二背，有反臣，三月大雨下。”

The "Diagram of the Atmosphere Around the Sun" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: The Sun has a "straight" aura beside it, and above it there is a red aura arranged like fish scales, indicating that the attendants wish to establish themselves independently. The same book also says: The Sun has two "back" auras and one "straight" aura, indicating that the ministers plot to establish themselves. Gan De says: The Sun has "jue" auras on all four sides, which is called "great labor," indicating a large-scale conscription and labor, and there are rebels among the troops outside. The "Inner Record of the Filial Classic" says: The Sun has four "back" auras and "jue" auras; if there are no troops outside at that time, one will see armies rising across the country; if there are already troops outside, then the military affairs of the whole country will cease. The "Spring and Autumn Records of Sensible Spirits" says: The Sun has four "back" auras and "jue" auras, indicating that ministers will harm the sovereign. The "Inner Record of the Filial Classic" also says: The Sun has four "back" auras and "jue" auras, and there are four round auras shaped like large chariots following, indicating that the sovereign will not be at peace, and a great calamity of a major state will arrive within a year; if the chariot-shaped auras penetrate the two "back" auras, there will be a rebellious minister, and heavy rain will fall within three months.

《春秋緯》曰：“日有四背、璚，其國內亂，有兵起，若有背叛。”魏氏曰：“日傍有二直三抱，有自立者不成，順抱擊者勝，殺將。”魏氏曰：“日纓左珥，後宮出位，喜。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日冠紐左珥者，君與舅母私相通。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日冠紐左右珥，天下有吉，喜，五逆皆除。”《日暈圖》曰：“日冠纓左紈者，後宮有喜。”《日暈圖》曰：“日冠纓右珥，後宮出位，有喜。”又曰：“日暈冠纓左右紈，天下大喜。除刑。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: The Sun has four paths of 'back' qi and 'jue' qi, which indicate internal turmoil in a country's territory, the outbreak of military conflicts, or betrayal by people. Wei said: The Sun has two straight qi lines and three layers of 'bao' qi, indicating someone who wants to establish themselves but fails; when two armies face each other, the side attacking in the direction of the 'bao' qi will win and be able to kill the enemy general. Wei also said: The Sun has 'ying' qi and a 'er' on the left, indicating that someone in the harem has gone beyond their proper position, which brings joy. The Xiao Jing Ci Xiong Tu says: The Sun has 'guan' qi and 'nou' qi with a 'er' on the left, indicating the ruler has an improper relationship with his mother-in-law. The same book also says: The Sun has 'guan' and 'nou' with 'er's on both sides, indicating the world has good fortune and joy, and the five kinds of rebellious matters are eliminated. The Sun Yun Tu says: The Sun has 'guan' and 'ying' with a white 'wan' qi on the left, indicating joy in the harem. The same book also says: The Sun has 'guan' and 'ying' with a 'er' on the right, indicating someone in the harem has gone beyond their proper position, also bringing joy. It also says: Above the Sun's halo there are 'guan' and 'ying', with 'wan' qi on both sides, indicating great joy throughout the world and the removal of punishments.

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日紐左珥者，為兄弟私相知。”《孝經內記》曰：“日冠紐者，君與青衣私相愛，欲成立為妻，已在宮也。”甘氏曰：“日戴而珥，天子有賀喜。抱以為和親，抱亦親多；抱珥見數國，家歡喜而和。”甘氏曰：“日戴且珥，天子有子孫，昌期不出其年。”夏氏曰：“日戴而珥，有令德。”夏氏曰：“日重抱，抱中外有璚而珥，順抱擊者勝，破軍軍中不和，不相信。”《孝經內記》曰：“日傍有重抱，其一傍有抱，抱後有背戴，順抱者勝。”

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Versions of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: The Sun has a "nou" aura and a "er" on its left, indicating private communication between brothers. The "Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: The Sun has a "guan" aura and a "nou" aura, indicating the monarch's love for a maid wearing blue clothes, wanting to make her his official wife, and she is already in the palace. Gan De says: If the Sun has a "dai" aura and a "er" aura, the Son of Heaven will have a joyful event; if there is a "bao" aura, it indicates a marriage alliance, and the more "bao" auras there are, the more people will be allied; if both "bao" and "er" auras appear together, several states will submit at the same time, and all families will be happy and harmonious. Gan De also says: If the Sun has a "dai" aura and a "er" aura, the Son of Heaven will have offspring, and the flourishing period will not be beyond this year. Xia's school says: If the Sun has a "dai" aura and a "er" aura, it indicates the ruler has good virtue. Xia's school also says: If the Sun has a double "bao" aura, with "qiu" auras both inside and outside the "bao" aura and also with a "er" aura, the side attacking in the direction of the "bao" aura will win, breaking the enemy's army, and the enemy's internal forces will be discordant and suspicious of each other. The "Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: If there is a double "bao" aura beside the Sun, and on one side there is another "bao" aura, with a "bei" aura and a "dai" aura behind the "bao" aura, the side fighting in the direction of the "bao" aura will win.

高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日有一抱一直一珥，人主有喜且有所立。”呂氏曰：“背、璚，四直交在中，臣欲為邪，色青中赤外，在芒刺則為逆；其色赤中青外，無芒刺為謀；若數見，則國家凶。向日為抱，背日為背；背且抱，有欲為者右勝逆，明勝枯，久勝疾；若有白虹，以攻戰從抱擊之者勝；芒外者，中人勝；芒內者，外人勝；皆以象類為法。”

The "Diagram of the Atmosphere Around the Sun" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: The Sun has one "embrace" (bao), one "straight" (zhi), and one "ear" (er) ray. When the sovereign has joy and celebration, he will appoint someone. Lü says: "Back" (bei) and "Jue" (qiu) rays, along with four "straight" rays, intertwine in the middle, indicating ministers who wish to commit wrongdoing; if the color is inner blue and outer red with芒刺 (spikes), it signifies open rebellion; if the color is inner red and outer blue without spikes, it signifies secret plots; if such celestial phenomena occur repeatedly, the state will face danger. Rays that curve toward the Sun are called "embrace," while those that move away from the Sun are called "back." If both "back" and "embrace" rays appear, it indicates someone deliberately causing trouble. At this time, the side that remains upright will overcome the rebellious side, the bright will overcome the dark, and the enduring will overcome the brief. If there is also a white rainbow, the side attacking in the direction of the "embrace" ray will win; if the spikes point outward, the people within the city will win; if the spikes point inward, the people outside the city will win—these are all rules for deduction based on the category of the celestial phenomena.

《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日上有冠三重，日下有虹，下行正，直長丈，不出一年立；故貴人絕後者，其年小熟，小賤；歲有兵，一年中天下不安。”夏氏曰：“日抱，且兩珥一虹貫抱中日，順虹擊者勝，殺將。”夏氏曰：“日抱兩珥且璚，二虹貫抱中日，順虹擊者勝二將，有相去。”夏氏曰：“日重抱，有三白虹貫抱中日，順虹擊者破軍將；二虹殺大將，一虹殺偏將。”魏氏曰：“日重抱左右二紈，有白紅虹貫抱，順擊勝，得二將；有三虹得三將。

The "Diagram of the Male and Female Classics of Filial Piety" says: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige is present, there are three layers of "coronal" energy above it, and a rainbow below it, hanging straight down, about ten feet long. Within one year, someone will be appointed to a position of honor. The previous nobleman will lose his descendants, and that year the harvest will be slightly poor, while prices will be slightly low. That year there will be military conflict, and the country will not be at peace for the whole year. Xia said: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige has "embracing" energy, and two "ear-like" energies and one rainbow pass through the "embracing" energy and the sun's body, the side attacking in the direction of the rainbow will win and be able to kill the enemy's general. Xia also said: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige has "embracing" energy, two "ear-like" energies, and also has "jade-like" energy, and two rainbows pass through the "embracing" energy and the sun's body, the side attacking in the direction of the rainbow will win and capture two enemy generals, and the enemy generals will also become divided. Xia also said: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige has double "embracing" energy, and three white rainbows pass through the "embracing" energy and the sun's body, the side attacking in the direction of the rainbow will defeat the enemy's main general; two rainbows will kill the chief general, and one rainbow will kill the deputy general. Wei said: When the Star of Brightness and Prestige has double "embracing" energy, and white "ribbon-like" energies on both sides, along with white and red rainbows passing through the "embracing" energy, the side attacking in the direction of the rainbow will win and capture two enemy generals; if there are three rainbows, three enemy generals can be captured.

高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日一背一直，有赤氣如卷，近臣欲自立，二背一直，大臣欲自立。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“日刺，冠重累並出邊見者，是臣弒君，子弒父子變也，不可不審察也。見於東方，父子自為之；見於南方，君臣為之；見於西方，親戚、將卒為之。變為君者，多赤；變在臣者，多青；變在邊夷者，多黑；自天生大賊，五色錯亂。”

The forged work attributed to Yin Gaozong, the "Diagram of the Atmosphere Around the Sun," states that the Sun has one "back" and one "straight" line, along with red clouds curling like scrolls, indicating that a close attendant wishes to establish himself independently. If there are two "backs" and one "straight" line, it signifies that a high minister desires to take power for himself. The "Diagram of the Filial Piety and the Dual Principle" says that the Sun has a "pricking" aura and a "crown" aura that overlap and appear together at the edge of the Sun's disc, which is an omen of chaos such as a minister killing his sovereign or a son killing his father. This must be carefully examined. If this omen appears in the east, it indicates harm between father and son; if in the south, it signifies conflict between sovereign and minister; if in the west, it means relatives and soldiers will rebel. If the chaos affects the sovereign, the color is red; if it affects the ministers, the color is blue; if it affects the border regions and barbarians, the color is black; if it is a great thief sent by heaven, the colors will be mixed and confused.

石氏曰：“日傍有氣，圓而周匝，內赤外青，名為景。”夏氏曰：“日暈者，運也，”如淳暈，日運也。暈者，屯也。暈者，圍也。一說暈者，軍營衛生也，營衛君也。”蔡伯喈曰：“氣見於日傍四周為暈。”《方言》曰：“日暈為躔，躔歷行也。”《爾雅》曰：“弇日為蔽雲，郭璞曰：‘即暈氣五色，覆日者也。’”《釋名》曰：“暈，卷也，氣在外卷結也。”《春秋感精符》曰：“一失陽事，則日暈。”

Shi Shen said: The Sun is surrounded by a circular cloud-like appearance, red inside and blue outside, called "Jing." Xia Shi said: "Yun" is the same as "Yun," meaning the concept of circular movement. Han dynasty scholar Zhen Chun explained "Yun" as the movement of the Sun's energy. There are also interpretations of "Yun" as "Zun" (accumulation) and "Wei" (encirclement). Another interpretation says that "Yun" refers to the guards around a military camp, symbolizing the protection of the sovereign. Cai Boye (Cai Yong) said that when the aura appears around the Sun, it is called "Yun." Yang Xiong's "Fangyan" said that a solar "Yun" is called "Chan," which means to move along a path. The "Eya" said that when clouds cover the Sun, it is called "Bingyun," and Guo Pu's commentary said that it refers to the five-colored "Yun" covering the Sun. Liu Xi's "Shiming" said that "Yun" is the same as "Juan," meaning that the aura curls and twists around the Sun. The "Chunqiu Ganjingfu" said that whenever there is an improper affair of yang in the human world, the Sun will produce a "Yun."

石氏曰：“日暈者，軍營之象；周環匝日，無厚薄，敵與軍勢齊等；若無軍在外，天子失御，民多反叛。”班固《天文志》曰：“兩軍相當，日暈；等力均也。”甘氏曰：“日月皆暈，共戰不合，若兵罷。”《洛書》曰：“日出而暈，必有取主，不乃有師破。”石氏曰：“日以庚子暈，有赦令。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“正月日暈，兵春起，不勝。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日以正月，若五月中有九暈以上，道上有熱，死將；一曰，多死人。”

Shi Shen said: A solar halo is a symbol of military camps; if the halo surrounds the sun completely and is evenly thick throughout, it indicates that the strength of the enemy and ourselves are equal. If there are no armies outside at that time, it means the Son of Heaven has lost his authority to govern, and the people are likely to rebel. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When two armies face each other and a solar halo appears, it is a sign that both sides are equally strong. Gan De said: When both the sun and the moon produce halos, the two armies may be facing each other but not fight, or they may simply cease hostilities. The "Luo Book" says: If a halo appears when the sun is just rising, there will certainly be someone replacing the king, or there will be an army defeated. Shi Shen said: If a halo appears on a Gengzi day, there will be an imperial pardon issued. The "Yellow River Chart: Emperor's Enjoyment of Delight" says: If a solar halo appears in the first lunar month, military affairs will start in spring, but the side that mobilizes the army will not win. The same book also says: If the sun produces a halo more than nine layers in the first or fifth lunar month, the roads will be oppressively hot, and the general will die; another version says many people will die.

《荊州占》曰：“日有朝夕之暈，是謂失地，主人必敗。”《荊州占》曰：“日三暈，軍分為三。”夏氏曰：《日暈圖》云：‘日暈潤黃濁黑，搖為風雨，且惡，不動搖，有憂病；不則有暴惡令。’”《太公陰秘》曰：“日暈，明分中赤外青，外人勝；中青外赤，中人勝；中黃外青黑，中人勝；外黃中青黑，外人勝，外白內青，外人勝；內白外青，中人勝；中黃外青，外人勝；中青外黃，內人勝。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Sun appears with a halo in the morning and evening, this is called "losing the land," and the defending side will certainly suffer defeat. The same text also states: If the Sun has three layers of halo, the army will be divided into three parts. Xia氏 cites the *Diagram of Solar Halo* saying: If the solar halo is yellow and moist, or black and turbid, and fluctuates, it indicates wind and rain, and the situation is unfavorable; if the halo remains steady and unmoving, it signifies sorrow and illness, otherwise there will be harsh and severe decrees issued. The *Secrets of Tai Gong's Hidden Teachings* says: When the solar halo is clearly layered and distinguishable, if it is red inside and blue outside, the attacking side will win; if it is blue inside and red outside, the defending side will win; if it is yellow inside and blue-black outside, the defending side will win; if it is yellow outside and blue-black inside, the attacking side will win; if it is white outside and blue inside, the attacking side will win; if it is white inside and blue outside, the defending side will win; if it is yellow inside and blue outside, the attacking side will win; if it is blue inside and yellow outside, the defending side will win.

《太公陰秘》曰：“日暈，黃白不斗，兵未解；青黑和解，分地；色黃，土功動，民不安；色黑，有水，陰國盛；色白，有喪；色青，為疾病；色赤，大旱，流血千里。”京氏曰：“日暈，有兵在外者，主人不勝，宜客。”《太公兵法》曰：“日暈始，起前滅後，匝而後成者，後面勝。”《太公兵法》曰：“日暈周匝，東北偏厚，厚為福，東軍在東北戰，西南戰敗。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈而明，天下有兵，兵罷無兵，兵起不戰。”

The Tai Gong Yin Mi says: When the sun is surrounded by a halo of yellow-white color, both sides do not fight, but military affairs have not yet been resolved; if the halo is of green-black color, both sides make peace and end the matter by ceding territory; if the halo is yellow, it indicates the commencement of construction and earthworks, causing unrest among the people; if the halo is black, it indicates a flood disaster, with the yin side becoming strong; if the halo is white, it indicates mourning; if the halo is green, it indicates the spread of disease; if the halo is red, it indicates a severe drought, with blood flowing for thousands of li. Jing Fang says: When a solar halo appears and there are armies outside, the defending side cannot win, and it is advantageous for the attacking side. The Tai Gong Bing Fa says: When the solar halo first forms, if it appears first in front and then disappears behind, and after circling it comes together, the later arriving side will win. The same text also says: When the solar halo circles around once and is thicker in the northeast, the thick part brings fortune, and the eastern army fighting in the northeast will gain advantage, while fighting in the southwest will suffer defeat. The Xiaojing Neji says: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and the sun is bright, there will be military conflict in the world; if there is already military conflict, it will cease, and if there is no military conflict, it will start but without actual fighting.

《洛書摘亡闢》曰：“日暈明，人主有陰伏之謀。”京氏曰：“日暈，若井垣，若車輪，二國皆兵亡。”石氏曰：“日有青暈，不出旬，有大風，糴貴十倍，人民多疾病凶。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日暈，中赤外青，群臣親；外赤中青，群臣內其身，外其心。”石氏曰：“日有黑暈，災在用事臣。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈蒼黑，女主有憂。”京氏曰：“日有黃暈一重，人主有喜。”《洛書》曰：“日有青圍之，謂之青暈，不出二旬，大寒。

The Luo Writing says: If the sun is surrounded by a bright halo, the ruler has secret plans. Jing Fang says: If the sun's halo resembles the shape of a well rim or a chariot wheel, two states will both suffer defeat and perish. Shi Shen says: If the sun has a blue halo, there will be a great wind within ten days, grain prices will rise tenfold, the people will suffer many diseases, and this is ominous. The Yellow River Chart says: If the sun is surrounded by a red inner halo and a blue outer halo, the ministers will be loyal to the sovereign; if it is red outside and blue inside, the ministers are physically present in court but their hearts are elsewhere. Shi Shen says: If the sun has a black halo, disaster will fall upon the powerful minister in power. A text attributed to Yin Gaozong's "Sun Halo Diagram" says: If the sun is surrounded by a dark bluish-black halo, the female ruler will face calamity. Jing Fang says: If the sun has a single yellow halo, the ruler will experience joy and celebration. The Luo Writing says: If the sun is surrounded by a blue aura, it is called "blue halo," and within twenty days, the weather will become extremely cold.

糴大貴，外長三錢；一歲五見，糴五倍；六見，糴六倍不止；不出一年，民相食，多疾；疫在所見之國。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君乘水而王，其政癉平，則日黃中而青暈。”《洛書》曰：“日有黑圍之候，不出六十日，有大水傷五穀，敗人室宅，所見之國，糴貴十倍，三旬止。一歲十見此者，四海有役，窮民不得守其鄉，死不收藏。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君乘水而王，其政癉平，則日黃中而黑暈。”

Continuing from the "Luo Writing" regarding the blue halo: rice prices rise sharply, and outside the capital, each dou costs three coins more; if this occurs five times within a year, rice prices increase fivefold; if it occurs six times, the increase exceeds sixfold; within a year, people eat each other, diseases spread, and epidemics break out in the countries corresponding to the areas indicated by the blue halo. The "Rites of Celestial Authority" states: when a ruler inherits the water virtue and reigns, if government affairs are clear and just, the sun will appear with a yellow center and a blue halo around it. The "Luo Writing" says: when the sun is surrounded by black clouds, within sixty days there will be great floods destroying grain and damaging houses, and in the countries corresponding to the areas indicated by this phenomenon, rice prices will rise tenfold, stopping only after thirty days; if this occurs ten times within a year, there will be conscription and labor service throughout the four seas, poor people will be unable to stay in their native lands, and the dead will be left unburied. The "Rites of Celestial Authority" states: when a ruler inherits the water virtue and reigns, if government affairs are clear and just, the sun will appear with a yellow center and a black halo around it.

《孝經內記》曰：“日有白圍之候，一本日白暈，不出九十日，有大暴兵，粟大貴三倍，歲多暴風，春雪霜，民多病亡，野犬多狂，所見之國尤多，其君不安。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君承金而王，其政象平，則日黃中而白暈。”（宋均曰：象者取象於鏡見儀表端正。）《洛書》曰：“日有赤國之候，不出終食，必有大雨，雷霹靂殺乎為人民者；天下不同，獨以所見為然；必有大暑，道無行人。圍候者，日與辰星俱失度，不出旬日，圍候數如此者，不便貴人。

The "Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety" says: When the Sun is surrounded by white vapor (another version says "white halo"), there will be a sudden large-scale military disaster within ninety days, the price of millet will rise threefold, and there will be frequent storms in that year, snow and frost falling in spring, many people will fall ill and die, wild dogs will become frenzied, and the countries corresponding to the affected areas will suffer especially severely, with their rulers experiencing great unrest. The "Rites of the Celestial Pole and Rituals of Authority" says: When a ruler inherits the virtue of metal and reigns, and governs with fairness and justice, the Sun will appear yellow in the center and surrounded by a white halo. The original commentary notes: Song Jun said, "The 'image' refers to taking the mirror as a model, reflecting a proper and upright appearance." The "Luo Writing" says: When the Sun is surrounded by red vapor, there will certainly be heavy rain, thunder and lightning killing people and animals within the time of a single meal. This phenomenon will not occur everywhere, but only in the place where it is observed; afterwards, there will certainly be extreme heat, with no people on the roads. The so-called "surrounding sign" is caused by the Sun and the planet Jupiter (water star) moving out of harmony, and it will be verified within ten days; if the "surrounding sign" occurs repeatedly, it will be detrimental to the nobleman.

一歲數有圍候，歲十餘，王者不安，大臣坐事。不出二年中，天子亡，細布貴，後一年蠶不為縑，絮四倍，萬民大寒，見此之戒。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君秉火而王，其政煩平，則日黃中而赤暈。”《孝經內記》曰：“日有黃圍之侯，風雨農田治，一歲數見，且大安，所見之國吉，不出三年。”

Continuing from the previous text: Throughout the year, there are frequent occurrences of 'surrounding the sun,' up to ten times, causing the king to be unable to rest in peace, ministers being punished for various offenses; within two years, the emperor will perish, and the price of fine cloth will rise; after another year, silkworms will not produce silk, and silk will increase fourfold, causing the common people to suffer from severe cold—this is the warning indicated by this phenomenon. The "Rites of the Celestial Pole and Rituals" states: When the sovereign rules with the virtue of fire, although his affairs are numerous, they are fair, the sun will appear yellow in the center with a red halo around it. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji" states: The sign of the sun being surrounded by yellow vapor indicates favorable weather, proper rainfall, and successful agricultural management; if this occurs repeatedly within a year, the whole country will be in peace and security, the country corresponding to the area will be auspicious, and the predicted time will not exceed three years.

《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，亡日，無雨，大風，起兵；若土功，各當其星占。”（凡日月傍有異氣，抱，珥，強、帶、虹、譑、背、璚、纓、紐、格、履之屬，三日內有大風，二日內有大雨，災解不占。）甘氏曰：“日暈，七日無風雨，兵大作，不可起，眾大敗，不乃月蝕。”

The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: After an eclipse of the sun, if the sunlight disappears and there is no rain but a strong wind arises, it indicates the outbreak of military action; or great construction projects, and the specific location should be determined according to the star mansion corresponding to the position of the sun at that time. The original commentary notes: Whenever an unusual phenomenon appears near the sun or moon—such as 'embrace', 'earring', 'strength', 'belt', 'rainbow', 'sound', 'back', 'jade', 'tassel', 'knot', 'pattern', 'foot'—if a strong wind arises within three days or heavy rain falls within two days, the ominous influence is considered to have been dispelled, and no further divination is needed. Gan De says: After an eclipse of the sun, if there is no rain or wind for seven days, then large-scale military actions will occur. At this time, one should not initiate military action first, for doing so will result in a great defeat; otherwise, a lunar eclipse will occur.

高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日方暈，而上下聚二背，將敗，民散。”又曰：“日暈方，如井干，天下不知。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈，連如環，為兩軍兵起，君爭地。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈，環而聚，君死。”四邊亞出也。

The "Diagram of the Solar Halo" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: the solar halo appears square-shaped, with two "back" halos gathering above and below, indicating the defeat of generals and the dispersion of common people. It also says: the solar halo appears square, like the wooden railing on top of a well, causing the people across the land to be confused and at a loss. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when the solar halo forms one ring after another, it indicates two armies engaging in battle, with the king fighting for land. The "Diagram of the Solar Halo" also says: when the solar halo forms a ring and gathers without dispersing, the king will die.the so-called "square halo" refers to the four sides of the halo each extending outward to form edges.

京氏曰：“日暈而珥，宮中多事，後宮分爭，七日不雨，番察中。”甘氏曰：“日暈而珥，主有謀；軍在外，外軍有侮。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈而珥，天下有立侯王。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈而珥於暈上，將軍易。”甘氏曰：“日暈而珥如井干者，國亡以亂，有大兵反。”又曰：“日暈而珥合在軍中；一珥一國；二珥二國；三珥三國；同攻是國也。”甘氏曰：“日暈而珥聚在傍，貴人有罷者。”《太公兵法》曰：“日暈而珥，主有謀；十日不雨，兵起。”

Jing Fang said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds, there will be many affairs in the palace, the concubines will have factional struggles, and there will be no rain for seven days, requiring continuous observation. Gan De said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds, the sovereign has secret plots; if there are armies outside, those armies will be looked down upon. The Jingzhou Divination says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds, there will be the appointment of marquises and dukes. The same book also says: If the 'er' appears above the solar halo, there will be a change of generals. Gan De also said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds resembling the rim of a well, the country will be destroyed by internal strife and there will be a rebellion of a large army. He also said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds gathering in the military, one 'er' corresponds to one country, two 'ers' correspond to two countries, three 'ers' correspond to three countries, and these countries will jointly attack one country. Gan De also said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds gathering on one side, there will be the dismissal of a nobleman. The Tai Gong Military Art says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with 'er' shaped clouds, the sovereign has secret plots; if there is no rain for ten days, military affairs will arise.

石氏曰：“日暈而珥合，國有謀反。”《日暈圖》曰：“日暈左珥者，王候有喜；人君有私，事在後宮。”《洛書》曰：“兩敵相當，日暈兩珥，平等俱起而色同，軍無相奈何，色厚潤者賀喜。”又曰：“日暈兩珥，君有喜；一曰眾在外，有大事。”石氏曰：“春暈有四珥，人主更令。”日暈而負夏氏曰：“日負，負者青赤，如半暈狀，以著暈上，則為負。負者，位也；得地為喜。”京氏曰：“日暈，重有四負，殃大國亂；若三日大雨，不占。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，負且戴，國有喜。戰從戴所擊者，勝；得地。”

Shi Shen said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with two 'ears' that come together, there will be someone plotting rebellion within the country. The "Sun Halo Diagram" says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is an 'ear' on the left, there will be joy and celebration for princes and dukes; at the same time, the monarch has private affairs, and these events occur in the palace. The "Luo Writing" says: When two enemies are in a stalemate, the sun is surrounded by a halo with two 'ears' on each side, equal in height, rising together with the same color, and neither army can overcome the other; if the 'ears' are thick and moist, it signifies celebration and good news. It also says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with two 'ears', the monarch will have joy; another interpretation is that there are many soldiers outside, and there will be major events. Shi Shen said: In spring, if the sun is surrounded by a halo with four 'ears', the monarch will change his policies. This is included under the section "Sun Halo with a 'Negative' Form." Xia Shi said: The term 'negative' refers to a bluish-red cloud-like form, shaped like half a halo, attached above the halo, which is called 'negative'; 'negative' takes the meaning of 'position', indicating a favorable situation and joy. Jing Fang said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with overlapping layers and four 'negative' clouds, there will be severe calamities and chaos in a great country; if it rains heavily within three days, there is no need to interpret it. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: The sun halo may have both 'negative' and 'positive' forms, indicating joy in the country; when fighting, the side attacking in the direction indicated by the 'positive' form will win and be able to capture land.

《孝經內記》曰：“日暈且冠戴，又有反照於日上；有戴赤青，長四五尺，左右上下有氣，各一丈許，不出九十日，有立侯王，不出百日，有大赦；糴貴十倍，大豆尤甚。”石氏曰：“日暈，且冠且戴，天下有立侯王；若自立者，分必益土。”石氏曰：“日暈且冠，王者有拜謁；若立諸侯，德令四方，天下大赦。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，有克，兩珥；有纓貫珥中，下交日下；天下有名之臣死，不出三十日有赦。”

The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: When there is a solar halo with a 'corona' and a 'diadem', and there is a reflected light above the sun; the 'diadem' appears red with a blue tinge, extending four or five feet long, with other lights on the left and right and above and below each extending about ten feet; within ninety days there will be a prince or duke appointed, within one hundred days there will be a great amnesty; rice prices will rise tenfold, and soybeans will rise even more. Shi Shen says: When there is a solar halo with a 'corona' and a 'diadem', there will be the appointment of a prince or duke; if someone establishes himself as a king, his territory will certainly expand. Shi Shen also says: When there is a solar halo with a 'corona', the king will have court audiences and visits; if there is the appointment of a marquis, then the virtue and orders will spread throughout the land, and there will be a great amnesty. The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety Diagram says: When there is a solar halo with a 'ke' aura and two 'er' auras, and there is a 'ying' aura passing through the 'er' auras and descending to connect below the sun, there will be the death of a famous minister; within thirty days there will be an amnesty.

《太公兵法》曰：“日暈，冠，三珥；天子有喜，或為大赦，功拜大將軍。”高宗曰：“日暈、冠、珥、紐，人主有喜慶，且有所立，不出年中。京氏曰：“日暈，戴、抱、珥，其色皆赤內青外，清明即國家有吉、賀、喜。”《洛書》曰：“日暈且戴，而暈兩有氣皆如珥形，中赤外青，是謂琪璧；一名霧成，色皆黃白潤澤，有獻璧玉寶瑤器者，天子有喜。所以然者，日，天子象也。璧玉者，陰之榮也。黃白潤澤，故言天子有喜。”

The Tai Gong Bing Fa says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with the appearance of a crown and three ear-like formations, the emperor will have joyous events, or issue a great amnesty, or appoint a grand general. The attribution to Yin Gaozong says: If the sun is surrounded by halos with the appearances of a crown, ears, and a button, the ruler will have joyous events, and will appoint someone, and this will happen within the year. Jing Fang says: If the sun is surrounded by halos with the appearances of a headpiece, a hug, and ears, and the colors are red inside and blue outside, with clear and bright weather, the country will have auspicious and joyful events. The Luo Writing says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with the appearance of a headpiece, and on both sides of the halo there are formations like ears, red inside and blue outside, this is called 'Qi Bi', also known as 'Wu Cheng'; if the colors are yellow and white and moist, someone will present jade, precious stones, and rare vessels, and the emperor will be joyful. This is so interpreted because the sun symbolizes the emperor, jade is the most beautiful among yin things, and yellow and white with moisture are auspicious colors, so the emperor will be joyful.

夏氏曰：“日暈而珥，外有一抱；所圍城者，在外，外人勝。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，暈中有珥一抱，所謂圍城者在中，中人勝。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈、珥、兩抱，天子且在慶，一抱喜。至氣黃白赤，皆吉也。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈而珥，背左右，如大車輪，兵起，其國亡城，兵滿野，而城復歸。”京氏曰：“日暈有四珥，各四背、璚，期六十日，君臣有異謀者；有急事閉關，不行使，天下更命；三日雨，不占。四背，白氣干之，其端青赤，是妃與臣下共弒其君。”

The Xia family said: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and has a 'ear' (珥), with another 'embrace' (抱) of energy outside the halo, during a siege, the advantage goes to those outside the city, and the attacking side wins. The "Inner Record of the Xiaojing" said: When the sun is surrounded by a halo with an 'ear' and an 'embrace' of energy inside the halo, during a siege, the advantage goes to those inside the city, and the defending side wins. A text attributed to King Gaozong of Yin, called "The Diagram of the Sun's Adjacent Atmosphere," said: When the sun has a halo with an 'ear' and two 'embrace' energies, it indicates the Son of Heaven will have a celebration; if there is only one 'embrace,' it also signifies joy; if the color of the energy is yellow, white, or red, it is all auspicious. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the sun is surrounded by a halo with an 'ear,' and there are 'back' energies on both sides resembling large chariot wheels, it indicates the outbreak of military conflict, with a country in the corresponding region losing its city, troops spreading across the outskirts, and later the city returning to its original owner. Jing Fang said: When the sun has a halo with four 'ears,' each paired with four 'back' energies and 'jade' energies, the period is sixty days, indicating the ruler and ministers having different intentions; there is an urgent matter in the country with the closing of borders and the suspension of diplomatic missions, leading to changes in the governance of the world; if it rains within three days, there is no need to interpret further. If the four 'back' energies are interfered with by white energy, with the ends of the white energy showing a bluish-red color, this indicates a plot by concubines and ministers to assassinate the sovereign.

夏氏曰：“有軍日暈，有一抱，抱為順，貫暈中；在日西，西軍大勝，東軍大敗，中赤外青。若在日東，東軍大勝，西軍大敗，南北亦然。”石氏曰：“日暈有抱，抱為順，在日月之傍，王者有喜，子孫吉昌，政令行。”《洛書》曰：“凡占兩軍相當，必謹審日月之暈氣，知其所起、止、遠、近，應與不應，遲、疾、大、小、厚、薄、長、短、抱、背為多少，有、無、實、虛、久、亟、密、疏、澤、枯、相應，日等無相，奈何？

Xia said: When an army is outside and a solar halo appears, with a 'hugging' qi passing through the halo — 'hugging' qi is smooth and harmonious — if the 'hugging' is on the west side of the sun, then the western army will have a great victory and the eastern army will suffer a great defeat, the qi will be red inside and blue outside; if the 'hugging' is on the east side of the sun, then the eastern army will have a great victory and the western army will suffer a great defeat; the method of judging in the north-south direction is the same. Shi Shen said: When there is a solar halo with 'hugging' qi, 'hugging' qi is smooth and harmonious, appearing near the sun or moon, the king will have joy and celebration, his descendants will be prosperous and flourishing, and his decrees will be smoothly implemented. The Luo Writing says: When predicting the outcome of a battle between two armies, one must carefully examine the halos of the sun and moon: determine where they originate and where they end, how far they are from the sun or moon, whether they correspond with the military situation, how slowly or quickly they form, whether they are large or small, whether the qi layers are thick or thin, whether the qi body is long or short, how much 'hugging' and 'back' qi there is, whether they exist or not, whether they are real or virtual, how long they last or how urgent they are, whether the qi is dense or sparse, whether the color is moist or dry, and whether both sides correspond to each other; if both sides are equal in all aspects and it is impossible to distinguish superiority or inferiority, then how should one judge?

故曰：近勝遠，疾勝遲，大勝小，厚勝薄，長勝短，抱勝背，多勝少，有勝無，實勝虛，久勝亟，密勝疏，澤勝枯，重抱大勝無抱也。抱為和親，抱多親者益多；背為不和，分離相去，背於中者離於中，背於外者離於外也。凡分離相去之相，親疏赤中外青，以和相去：青中外赤，以惡相去。”《太公兵法》曰：“日暈抱、珥，喜氣；日暈黃者，主人有喜。”《太公陰秘》曰：“日一暈、一抱、一背為不和信者，更逆不信者，順。”

Following the text of the Luo Writing, it says: the closer the qi, the more powerful it is; the faster the formation, the more powerful it is; the larger the form, the more powerful it is; the thicker the qi layer, the more powerful it is; the longer the qi body, the more powerful it is; those with "bao" are more powerful than those with "bei"; the more numerous, the more powerful; those with qi are more powerful than those without; the more solid the qi, the more powerful it is; the longer lasting, the more powerful it is; the denser the qi, the more powerful it is; the more moist and nourishing, the more powerful it is. Those with double "bao" are even more powerful than those with no "bao" qi at all. "Bao" signifies harmony and attachment; the more "bao" qi, the more attached people there are. "Bei" signifies discord, with both sides separating. "Bei" within the halo signifies separation from within, while "bei" outside the halo signifies separation from without. In all such cases of separation and dispersion, one should observe the color of the qi to distinguish between close and distant relationships: if the inside is red and the outside is blue, it signifies a harmonious parting; if the inside is blue and the outside is red, it signifies mutual hostility and separation. The Tai Gong's Military Methods say: a solar halo accompanied by "bao" and "er" signifies auspiciousness; a yellow solar halo signifies joy in the defending region. The Tai Gong's Secret of the Yin says: one layer of solar halo, one "bao," and one "bei" signifies mutual discord and lack of trust; when the situation reverses, the originally discordant and distrustful side becomes the one that surrenders.

夏氏曰：“《日暈圖》云：‘暈有重抱，後有偕戰，順抱者勝，得地。’”高宗曰：“日暈兩抱，天子有喜，天下和平，色赤黃白皆吉，有和親。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈四抱，天子有喜，將相治，端皆向主者，來和親。”甘氏曰：“日暈抱、珥，上將軍易。”京氏曰：“日暈，背氣有暈中，此為不和，分離相去，其色青外中赤，忠臣受命，主有所之兩軍相當；中人軍欲降叛於外也。”董仲舒曰：“日暈兩背，君臣俱危，主失凶。”

The Xia family cited the "Diagram of the Sun's Halo" saying that when the sun is surrounded by a heavy "embrace" halo, there will be a battle between two armies, and the side advancing in the direction of the "embrace" halo will win and gain territory. A claim attributed to King Gaozong of Yin said that when the sun is surrounded by two "embrace" halos, the Son of Heaven will have joyous events and the world will be peaceful; halos of red, yellow, and white are all auspicious, indicating events of marriage alliances. In Gaozong's "Diagram of the Sun's Side Halo," it was said that when the sun is surrounded by four "embrace" halos, the Son of Heaven will have joyous events, and ministers will each govern their respective areas; if the ends of all the halos are directed toward the throne, it means that all four directions will come to form marriage alliances. Gan De said that when the sun is surrounded by an "embrace" and a "earring" halo, the supreme general will be replaced. Jing Fang said that when there is a "back" halo within the sun's halo, it indicates discord, leading to separation between both sides; if the color is outer blue and inner red, it means a loyal minister is entrusted with a mission and the ruler is going elsewhere; if two armies are facing each other, it means the troops within the city wish to surrender and defect to the outside. Dong Zhongshu said that when the sun is surrounded by two "back" halos, both the ruler and the ministers will be in peril, and the ruler will face a danger of losing his position.

《太公陰秘》曰：“日暈有背，大臣有叛者；或曰：左右欲有走。”石氏曰：“日暈而背，兵起，其分失城。”石氏曰：“日暈有背，背為逆，有降叛，有反城。在日東，東有叛；在日西，西有叛；南北亦如之。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈一背，臣弒主。”（按《中興書》曰：“隆安元年十二月壬辰，日暈有背、璚，是後帝不親萬幾會稽世子元顯專、行威，罰義，熙六年五月丙子，日暈有背、璚，是時盧循逼京都，戰於郊也。）

The book "Tai Gong Yin Mi" says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a "back" aura, there will be a minister who rebels; another interpretation says the close attendants of the ruler will leave. Shi Shen says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a "back" aura, military conflicts will arise, and the corresponding region will lose its city. Shi Shen also says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a "back" aura, "back" belongs to the reverse aura, indicating that someone will surrender or rebel, and a city will change hands. If the "back" is to the east of the sun, there will be rebellion in the east; if it is to the west, rebellion will occur in the west; the same applies to the north and south. The book "Ri Bang Qi Tu" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a "back" aura, it indicates that ministers will kill the ruler. The original book's note says: The "Zhong Xing Shu" records that in the twelfth lunar month of Long'an Year 1 of Emperor An of Jin, on the day of Renchen, the sun was surrounded by a halo and there were "back" and "Jue" auras, after which Emperor An did not personally manage state affairs, and his son, the Prince of Kuaiji, Sima Yuanyang, seized power and acted with authority. In the fifth lunar month of Yixi Year 6, on the day of Bingzi, the same phenomenon occurred again. At that time, Lu Xun advanced toward the capital, and both sides fought near the outskirts.

石氏曰：“有軍日暈，有一背，背為逆，在日西，東軍大勝，西軍大敗。若在日東，西軍大戰，東軍敗。南北亦然。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，上下有兩背，無兵兵起，有兵兵入。”魏氏曰：“日暈，四背在暈內，名曰不和，有內亂，離於中。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日暈，暈中有兩背，兩璚，又半暈臨日，反臣起，中不成。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，外四背，璚，所謂離於外者，外臣有離去者。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，中有四背，璚，其背端盡出暈者，反役內起。”

Shi Shen said: When an army is stationed outside, if a solar halo appears along with a 'back' qi, where 'back' qi is considered an inverse qi, then if the 'back' qi is located to the west of the sun, the eastern army will achieve a great victory while the western army will suffer a great defeat; if the 'back' qi is located to the east of the sun, the western army will fight hard while the eastern army will suffer defeat. The method of interpretation for the north-south directions is the same. The "Xiaojing Neiji Tu" said: If there are two 'back' qi lines above and below the solar halo, then even if there is no military conflict, war will break out; if there is already a military conflict, the enemy troops will invade the territory. Wei Shi said: If a solar halo is accompanied by four 'back' qi lines, all contained within the halo, it is called 'inharmony', indicating internal turmoil and the dispersal of people's hearts. Xia Shi's "Renyun Tu" said: If there are two 'back' qi lines and two 'jue' qi lines within the solar halo, along with half of the halo pressing against the sun, it indicates a rebellion by a traitorous minister, but the matter will not succeed in the middle. The "Xiaojing Neiji Tu" said: If there are four 'back' qi lines and four 'jue' qi lines outside the solar halo, this is called 'separation from outside', indicating that officials appointed from outside will betray and leave. The "Xiaojing Neiji" said: If there are four 'back' qi lines and four 'jue' qi lines within the solar halo, and the ends of the 'back' qi lines extend beyond the halo, it indicates a rebellion originating from within.

京氏曰：“日暈而背四，如大車者，四提沒其國，眾在外，有反臣。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈一背，麗陣貫之，大臣欲犯其主。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈有= ，裂地立王。”石氏曰：“日暈，中有璚氣，璚為不順，與背同；人臣不忠而外其心，君臣乖離，其國兵起，若有逃臣。”京氏曰：“日暈，直氣貫暈中，白其色，將失；順其氣攻，破軍。”高宗曰：“日暈清明，一傍直，有立侯王。其色青外，赤內，潤澤者，上所立也。”

Jing Fang said: A solar halo accompanied by four 'back' qi, forming the shape of a large cart, indicates the 'four lifting' image, which will lead to the downfall of the country; if the army is stationed outside, there will be rebellious ministers within the military. A diagram attributed to Yin Gaozong, called the "Solar Adjacent Qi Diagram," says: A solar halo accompanied by one 'back' qi, with qi arranged like a military formation passing through it, indicates that ministers intend to defy the sovereign. The "Xiaojing Neiji Tu" says: A solar halo accompanied by a certain type of qi (the original text has a missing symbol, and the name of the qi is lost) indicates the division of territory and the establishment of another sovereign. Shi Shen said: A solar halo with 'juan' qi inside, 'juan' qi is an unrighteous qi, similar to 'back' qi; it indicates unfaithful ministers who are disloyal, the sovereign and ministers are at odds, and a country in that region will engage in warfare, or a minister will flee. Jing Fang said: A solar halo with 'zhi' qi passing through it, if the qi is white, indicates the defeat of the general; if the army advances in the direction of this qi, it can defeat the enemy. The saying attributed to Yin Gaozong says: A clear and bright solar halo, with 'zhi' qi on one side, indicates the appointment of a marquis; if the qi is outer blue and inner red, and moist, it indicates the person appointed by the sovereign.

石氏曰：“日暈有直，氣在兩傍，其國有自立者，若立諸候，一曰：王者封賞左右。”《魏氏圖》曰：“日暈有二直，欲自立者，明者立；若黑，不明者死。”《魏氏圖》曰：“日暈，有一直一背，欲自立；二直、二背，欲自立；有三直、三背，欲自立；有四直、四背，皆欲自立也。赤中青外，不成。”夏氏曰：“日暈，有直、珥，為破軍，貫日中，為殺將。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈，兩直一背，有反臣。”石氏曰：“日暈四提，必有大將出亡者。”

Shi Shen said: A solar halo accompanied by two 'Zhi' clouds, with the clouds extending on both sides of the sun, indicates that a country in the corresponding region will have someone claiming independence, or a prince will be enfeoffed. Another interpretation is that the king will reward his close ministers. The "Wei Shi Tu" said: A solar halo with two 'Zhi' clouds indicates someone wanting to claim independence; if the clouds are bright, that person will succeed; if the clouds are dark and not bright, that person will die. The "Wei Shi Tu" also said: A solar halo with one 'Zhi' and one 'Bei' cloud indicates someone wanting to claim independence; two 'Zhi's and two 'Bei's, also someone wanting to claim independence; three 'Zhi's and three 'Bei's, still someone wanting to claim independence; four 'Zhi's and four 'Bei's, then people in all four directions want to claim independence. If the clouds are red inside and blue outside, the matter of claiming independence will not succeed. Xia Shi said: A solar halo with 'Zhi' clouds and 'Er' clouds indicates defeating the enemy's army; if the 'Zhi' clouds pass through the sun, it indicates killing the enemy's general. The "Ri Bang Qi Tu" attributed to Yin Gaozong said: A solar halo with two 'Zhi' clouds and one 'Bei' cloud indicates a rebellious minister. Shi Shen said: A solar halo with four 'Ti' clouds indicates a great general will definitely flee abroad.

京氏曰：“日暈而且冠三重，日下有虹，行正，長數丈，不出其年，有反者；貴人絕，後有兵飢。（按司馬彪《續漢書》曰：光武建武七年四月丙寅日，而日有暈，虹貫暈，在皆八度，畢邊兵，秋隗囂反，侵安定。）《荊州占》曰：“日暈而珥，赤虹貫直其國分者，受其害。”石氏曰：“日暈有抱、背、珥、直，而有虹貫之者，順虹擊之，大勝，得地。”玄冥曰：“日月暈、背，彗孛虹蜺在箕，兵起後宮。玄冥曰：“日月暈，虹蜺彗孛在尾，兵起於宮，將交走，期百八十日。”

Jing Fang said: When the sun is surrounded by a halo, there are three layers of 'corona' above the halo. If there is a rainbow below the sun, and the rainbow is straight and long, reaching several zhang in length, then within the year there will be rebellion by people, the nobleman will have no descendants, and there will be military disaster and famine. The original commentary notes: Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han" records that in the fourth month of the seventh year of Jianwu, during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of Han, on the day of Bingyin, the sun produced a halo, and a rainbow pierced through the halo, both appearing in the eighth degree of Bi mansion. Bi mansion governs military affairs in border regions, and in the autumn of that year, Wei Xiao rebelled, disturbing the An Ding commandery. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and has a 'ear' attached to it, and there is a straight red rainbow piercing through it, the country corresponding to the position of the rainbow will suffer calamity. Shi Shen said: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and has 'embrace', 'back', 'ear', 'straight' phenomena, and a rainbow pierces through them, attacking in the direction indicated by the rainbow will result in great victory and the acquisition of land. Xuanming said: When the sun and moon produce halos and have a 'back' phenomenon, and comets,孛 stars, rainbows, and霓 appear in Ji mansion - Ji mansion is the territory of Yan - it indicates military disaster originating from the inner court. Xuanming also said: When the sun and moon produce halos, and rainbows,霓, comets, and孛 appear in Wei mansion - Wei mansion also belongs to the territory of Yan - it indicates military disaster originating from the palace, with generals fighting and then fleeing, the time of occurrence is one hundred and eighty days.

石氏曰：“日月無精光，青赤暈，蜺、背、璚在心度中，是謂大湯，兵喪並起，王者以赦降外。”京氏曰：“凡日出虹暈，主分地；日入虹暈，諸侯分地；黑者，以兵分地；白者，以喪分地也。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈而白虹奸，而屬域之東，東斥地；域之南，南斥地；域之西，西斥地；域之北，北斥地；西方皆紆，自四方斥地；是謂人主驕溢，期不出五年。”夏氏曰：“日暈，二白虹貫暈，有客戰勝。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，有虹貫暈中，順虹擊者勝，殺將。”

Shi Shen said: When the sun and moon lose their brilliance and only show a green and red halo, and the phenomena of the rainbow, the back, and the jiu appear within the degree of the Heart Mansion — the Heart Mansion is the position of the Heavenly King's Bright Hall and the territory of Song — this is called "Da Tang," indicating that military calamity and funerals occur together, and the king should issue an amnesty decree to attract enemies from outside. Jing Fang said: Whenever a rainbow halo appears at sunrise, it indicates that the king himself will cede territory; if it appears at sunset, it indicates that the feudal lords will cede territory; if the rainbow is black, territory is divided due to warfare; if it is white, territory is divided due to mourning. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When there is a solar halo with a white rainbow crossing it, if the white rainbow extends to the east, territory will be ceded to the east; if it extends to the south, territory will be ceded to the south; if it extends to the west, territory will be ceded to the west; if it extends to the north, territory will be ceded to the north; if the white rainbow winds around all directions, territory will be ceded from all four sides. This is caused by the king's arrogance and excess, and the event will occur within no more than five years. Xia Shi said: When there is a solar halo with two white rainbows passing through it, the attacking side will win the battle. The "Xiaojing Neiji" says: When there is a solar halo with a rainbow passing through it, the side attacking in the direction indicated by the rainbow will win and be able to kill the enemy general.

甘氏曰：“日暈而珥，有雲穿之者，天下名士死。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈兩珥，而下有黃雲，人主有喜，期百二十日，遠年中。”甘氏曰：“日暈而兩珥在外，有聚雲在中與外，不出三日，城圍，出戰。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日一暈兩珥，有立雲貫日，出國多妖孽。”《洛書摘亡闢》曰：“日暈而兩珥，立雲貫之，國有大疾。”《春秋緯》曰：“日暈有兩珥，黃雲貫之，不出三月，貴人有死者。”

Gan De said: When the sun is eclipsed and has two 'ears' around it, and there are clouds passing through the middle, famous scholars throughout the land will die. The "Sun Halo Diagram" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: When the sun has a halo with two 'ears', and there is yellow cloud below, the ruler will have joy and celebration. If it happens soon, the event will occur within 120 days; if it happens later, it will occur within the year. Gan De also said: When the sun has a halo with two 'ears' outside the halo, and there are cloud masses gathering both inside and outside the halo, the city will be surrounded within three days, and the city must send out troops to fight. The "Spring and Autumn Sensitivity and Spirit Classic" says: When there is a single halo around the sun with two 'ears', and there is a vertical cloud passing through the sun, it indicates that there will be many strange and calamitous occurrences in the country. The "Luo Writing Selection of Lost and Avoided" says: When the sun has a halo with two 'ears', and there is a vertical cloud passing through it, there will be a great plague in the country. The "Spring and Autumn Weave" says: When the sun has a halo with two 'ears', and there is yellow cloud passing through it, within three months, there will be death among the noblemen.

《黃帝兵法》曰：“日月暈，仰視之，須臾忽有雲氣從傍入者，急隨雲以攻之，大勝。”《太公陰秘》曰：“日暈，有五色雲，如杵貫日，從外入，外人歸勝，從內出，內人勝。欲知姓字，白者商，赤者徵，青者角，黑者羽，黃者宮。”《太公陰秘》曰：“日暈，有眾雲在左右，色黃白，吉；青白，兵行；黑白，內亂；青赤，和解；青黑，流血；俱明者，未解兵不歸，明者勝。”甘氏曰：“日暈，有聚雲不去者，兵起。”甘氏曰：“日暈，有聚雲外入，不出三日，國城圍。”

The Yellow Emperor's Military Methods say: When the sun and moon produce a halo, if suddenly clouds appear from the side and intrude, one should immediately attack in the direction the clouds are coming from and will achieve a great victory. The Master Tai Gong's Secret Strategies say: When there is a solar halo and five-colored clouds like a wooden mallet penetrate the sun, if the clouds intrude from outside to inside, the side from which they come will win; if they surge from inside to outside, the side inside will win. To determine which surname corresponds to the outcome, use the five tones matched with five colors: white corresponds to the Shang tone, red to the Zheng tone, blue to the Jue tone, black to the Yu tone, and yellow to the Gong tone. The Master Tai Gong's Secret Strategies also say: When there is a solar halo and clouds spread on both sides, if the clouds are yellow and white, it is auspicious; if they are blue and white, it indicates military campaigns and travel; if they are black and white, it signifies internal turmoil; if they are blue and red, it indicates peace talks; if they are blue and black, it indicates bloodshed; if both sides' clouds are bright, military conflicts will not end and armies will not return, and the side with brighter clouds will win. Gan De says: When there is a solar halo and a cluster of clouds stops and does not disperse, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts. Gan De also says: When there is a solar halo and a cluster of clouds intrudes from outside, the capital city will be surrounded within three days.

夏氏曰：“日暈，有雲氣從暈外入者，兵得入；雲氣從中出者，兵從中出。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，有青雲三，從外貫暈；戰；客勝。”夏氏曰：“貫日以日宿占之。”夏氏曰：“日暈，有青氣從中四出，有圍城，城中勝。有直交三，有欲自立，不成。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日暈，有青雲從外四貫暈，有圍城，外勝中。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈，下有青雲如死虹，屬暈；大將死亡。”

Xia said: If there is a solar halo and cloud vapour enters from outside the halo, it indicates that enemy troops can attack and enter the city; if the cloud vapour bursts out from inside the halo towards the outside, it indicates that the defending troops will attack out of the city. The "Inner Record of the Filial Classic" says: If there is a solar halo with three blue clouds penetrating through the halo from outside, the two armies will fight, and the attacking side will win. Xia said: Whenever cloud vapour passes through the sun, the location should be determined according to the star mansion where the sun is located on that day. Xia also said: If there is a blue vapour radiating from the halo in all directions, and there is a siege, the defending forces inside the city will win; if there are three straight vapours crossing each other, it indicates that someone wants to establish themselves independently but cannot succeed. Xia's "Solar Halo Diagram" says: If there is a solar halo with blue clouds penetrating through the halo from all sides, and there is a siege, the attacking forces outside the city will defeat the defending forces inside. The "Diagram of the Solar Side Vapour" attributed to Yin Gaozong says: If there is a solar halo with blue clouds shaped like a dead rainbow below the halo, connecting to the halo, it indicates the death of a general.

《五音候》曰：“日暈合，氣如人，在暈中偕日者，臣叛，不脫；日暈不合，叛者得脫。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日有白氣，從外向內刺，外人勝；圍城城拔。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，有白氣從內向外刺，中人勝；圍城，城不拔。”石氏曰：“日暈，有白雲如車蓋臨上，城降昨地。”高宗曰：“日暈，有赤氣如戟臨之，其國兵起。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈，傍有赤氣，如節職旗狀在外，名曰螢尤之旗，兵從內起。”

The "Five Tones Manual" says: If the sun is surrounded by a ring-like halo and there is a shape resembling a person within the halo accompanying the sun, it indicates that ministers will rebel but cannot escape. If the sun's halo is broken and not complete, the rebels will be able to escape. The "Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety" says: If there is a white gas emanating from outside toward the sun like a sharp spear, the forces attacking from outside the city will win, and the city can be captured. The same text also says: If there is a white gas emanating from inside the sun toward the outside like a sharp spear, the defending forces within the city will win, and the city cannot be captured. Shi Shen says: If there is a white cloud resembling a chariot canopy pressing upon the sun's halo, it indicates the city will surrender and the territory will be lost. A text attributed to Yin Gaozong says: If there is a red gas resembling spears and halberds pressing upon the sun's halo, the country corresponding to that region will engage in military action. Gaozong's "Diagram of the Sun's Adjacent Gas" says: If there is a red gas beside the sun's halo, shaped like banners and flags standing outside the halo, it is called "Chiyu's Banner," indicating that warfare will originate from within.

《孝經內記圖》曰：“日暈，赤氣貫中屬白，臣賊主；赤甚者，為用兵；不甚者，為用藥；陰者不發，人莫知之。”高宗《日傍氣圖》曰：“日暈，有黃氣承之，得地，不出年中。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日暈，有虹貫暈，不中日，戰從貫所擊之，勝；得小將。”夏氏《日暈圖》曰：“日暈，有白虹貫，從虹所擊，戰勝，破軍殺將。”《魏氏圖》曰：“日暈，有白虹七貫暈；以圍城，主人勝，城不拔。”《孝經內記》曰：“日暈，有氣如牛，入居暈；不出三日，寇入城。”

The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a red light passing through its center, with the end connected to white light, it indicates that ministers will plot against the sovereign. If the red color is thick, the plot will involve weapons; if the red color is faint, it will involve poison. If the color is dark and belongs to the yin, the plot will be hidden and not revealed, remaining unnoticed. The attributed work of King Gaozong of Yin, the Diagram of the Atmosphere near the Sun, says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a yellow light below supporting it, it indicates gaining the support of the land, and the fulfillment of the prophecy will not occur within this year. The Summer Family's Diagram of the Sun's Halo says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a rainbow passing through the halo but not crossing the sun itself, in battle one should attack in the direction of the rainbow, and will achieve victory, capturing enemy officers. The same book also says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a white rainbow passing through it, attacking in the direction of the rainbow will result in victory, breaking through the enemy's forces and killing their generals. The Wei Family's Diagram says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there are seven white rainbows passing through the halo, this is used to predict a siege, and the defending side will win, the city will not fall. The Inner Record of the Classic of Filial Piety says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a cloud shaped like an ox entering and staying within the halo, then within three days, enemy troops will enter the city.

京氏曰：“日暈不合，有雲如牛，在暈外來，入暈中；臣不服。”京氏曰：“日暈，有氣如毛羽，臨日不去，國有大兵憂。”高宗曰：“日暈，有四銳氣，如峰四出；國君亡。”高宗曰：“日暈，有錦文氣，潤色從外入者，有文書喜至；從中出者，王使出，喜事也；枯乾不明者，舉事憂。”王朔曰：“日暈，有錦文之氣在暈中，君欲遣使，文書大行；在錦文之氣在暈外，外文書來。”

Jing Fang said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo with a broken shape and there are clouds resembling a cow coming from outside the halo and entering it, this indicates that ministers will not obey the king's orders. Jing Fang also said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a mist-like appearance resembling feathers pressing against the sun and lingering for a long time, the country will face great military calamity. The attribution to Yin Gaozong says: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there are four sharp rays resembling mountain peaks extending in all directions, the king will die. Yin Gaozong also said: If the sun is surrounded by a halo and there are patterns resembling brocade, with a moist and lustrous color, moving from outside to inside, this indicates the arrival of official documents and good news; if they move from inside to outside, it signifies the king sending envoys, which is also a good omen; if the color is dry and unclear, there will be worries about the matters in hand. Wang Shuo said: If there is a brocade-like mist within the halo, it indicates the king intends to send envoys and issue many official documents; if the brocade-like mist is outside the halo, it signifies that official documents will be received from outside.

《五音候》曰：“日暈，氣如入，在暈中向日，中人受令；在暈外向日，外人受令；一曰使臣還，得其正色，有喜；不得，王氣有憂。”《五音候》曰：“日暈，氣如臥人，在暈上，其下破敗。”《五音候》曰：“臥人之氣在暈中，君有憂，臣暴死。”又曰：“日暈，臥人氣在暈外，臣有憂，憂主死。”

The "Five Sounds Manual" says: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a shape resembling a person (the character "入" should be "人"), if the shape faces the sun within the halo, it indicates that people within the city will receive orders; if the shape faces the sun outside the halo, it indicates that people outside the city will receive orders. Another interpretation says that if the shape resembles a person returning from a mission, the ruler will have joy if the shape is in the correct Five Phases, but if it is not in the correct Five Phases, the royal authority will be in trouble. The "Five Sounds Manual" also says: When the sun is surrounded by a halo and there is a shape resembling a person lying down, if the shape is above the halo, the area below the halo will suffer destruction. The same book also says: If the shape resembling a person lying down is within the halo, the ruler will have worries and the ministers will die suddenly. It also says: If the shape resembling a person lying down is outside the halo, the ministers will have worries, and the worry is about the death of the ruler.

魏氏曰：“日重暈，中赤外青，有臣謀，邪不成。”夏氏曰：“日重暈，攻城圍邑不拔；重暈，天下有立侯王，不乃拔城。”京氏曰：“日重暈，有德之君得天下。”石氏曰：“日暈，再重，其分戰有功。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日暈二重，其外青、中濁，不散。”《孝經內記》曰：“日有青暈二重者，其災在春內，女親用事，甲乙暈者所見之國，雕殺草木五穀，不出六十日中，有兵起。所見之處者用事弱亂，故日暈青，三年乃止。”

Wei said: When the Sun has two layers of halo, the inner one is red and the outer one is blue, it indicates that there are ministers and officials plotting rebellion, but their schemes will not succeed. Xia said: When the Sun has a double halo, it means that attacking cities and surrounding towns will not be successful; if there is a double halo, there will be the appointment of princes and kings, or alternatively, the capture of cities and towns. Jing Fang said: When the Sun has a double halo, it signifies the image of a virtuous ruler taking over the world. Shi Shen said: When there are two layers of solar halo, the region corresponding to the halo will have military success. The "Yellow River Chart: Emperor's View of Joy" said: When there are two layers of solar halo, the outer layer is blue and the middle layer is turbid, indicating that the halo will persist for a long time. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji" said: When the Sun has two layers of blue halos, calamity will occur within the spring season, indicating that women from the imperial family will hold power. If the halo appears on the first or second day of the Heavenly Stem, the country corresponding to the halo will experience withering of grass, trees, and crops, and within sixty days, military conflict will arise. The place where this phenomenon occurs will have weak and confused rulers, so the solar halo appears blue and will last for three years.

石氏曰：“日有青暈，再重，主後親戚在內為亂，王者有憂。”（案洪範《五行傳》曰：周幽之敗也，日暈再重，中暈赤，外暈青，一黑盡上下通在日中，是歲有幽王之敗。）《孝經內記》曰：“日有黑暈二重，其災在冬月。”

Shi Shen said: The Sun has two layers of green halos, indicating that the queen's relatives are causing turmoil within the palace, and the king will have worries. The original commentary notes: The "Hongan Wuxing Transmission" says that in the year when King You of Zhou suffered defeat and perished, the Sun had two layers of halos, the inner one red and the outer one green, and there was also a black mist passing vertically through the center of the Sun. That year, the event of King You's defeat occurred. The "Xiaojing Neiji" says: If the Sun has two layers of black halos, calamity will occur in the winter months.

京房《日蝕占》曰：“日之將蝕也，五龍先見於日傍：青龍見於日左，以春蝕；赤龍見於日上，以夏蝕；黃龍見於日中央，以六月蝕；白龍見於日右，以秋蝕；黑龍見於日下，以冬蝕。欲候此龍見日蝕，法當以五寅日候之：春以甲寅，夏以丙寅，六月下旬以戊寅，秋以庚寅，冬以壬寅：此所謂五寅也。置盆水庭中，平旦至暮視之，則龍見。欲如何月？孟月以孟，仲月以仲，季月以季。欲如何日蝕？

Jing Fang's "Solar Eclipse Divination" says: When a solar eclipse is about to occur, there will first appear five dragon-like vapors around the sun: the Azure Dragon appears on the left side of the sun, indicating an eclipse in spring; the Vermilion Dragon appears above the sun, indicating an eclipse in summer; the Yellow Dragon appears in the center of the sun, indicating an eclipse in the sixth lunar month; the White Dragon appears on the right side of the sun, indicating an eclipse in autumn; the Black Dragon appears below the sun, indicating an eclipse in winter. To observe these five dragons and predict an eclipse, one should observe on the five "Yin" days: use Jiayin day for spring, Bingyin day for summer, Wuyin day for the lower half of the sixth lunar month, Gengyin day for autumn, and Renyin day for winter. This is called the "Five Yin" days. Place a basin of water in the courtyard and observe from morning until evening; the dragon-like forms will appear on the water's surface. To determine the month of the eclipse within a season, if the dragon appears in the first month, the eclipse will occur in the first month; if in the second month, in the second month; if in the third month, in the third month. To determine the day and hour of the eclipse, observe accordingly.

龍以上旬見，日以朔蝕：龍以下旬見，日以晦蝕：龍以日出，見以日出蝕：龍以日中見，以日中蝕：龍以晡時見，日經晡時蝕：龍以日入見，日以日入蝕。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“日之將蝕，陽微陰漸，其城君蔽，臣恣，下壅塞，九引先出，日乃毀息。（陽，日也，君也，陰，月也，淅猶入也。君微弱，故陰氣入日，是主問蔽，臣下壅塞、君恩化使不施行也，九引先出，卒蝕日也。日將蝕破滅，必先氣引出見祥也。）

When the dragon appears in the upper half of the month, an eclipse occurs on the first day of the month; when the dragon appears in the lower half of the month, an eclipse occurs on the last day of the month; when the dragon appears at sunrise, the eclipse occurs at sunrise; when the dragon appears at noon, the eclipse occurs at noon; when the dragon appears at the time of bù (the hour of Shen), the eclipse occurs around that time; when the dragon appears at sunset, the eclipse occurs at sunset. The Spring and Autumn Syncretic Diagram says: When the sun is about to be eclipsed, it is because yang energy is waning and yin energy is infiltrating, the virtue of the ruler is obscured, ministers are unrestrained, and the people's grievances are blocked. First, nine paths of qi emerge, then the brightness of the sun is swallowed and the eclipse occurs. The original text's note says: Yang refers to the sun and also to the ruler; yin refers to the moon; "xī" is like "rù," meaning to enter. When the ruler is weak, yin energy enters the sun, meaning the ruler is obscured, ministers block the people's grievances, and the ruler's grace and teachings cannot be implemented. Before the eclipse occurs, nine paths of qi first emerge, and then the eclipse happens. When the sun is about to be eclipsed and becomes dark, it must first have qi extending out, revealing this omen.

常經以效類，垂萌法至尊、陽精魄。”（常經、垂萌，上十二月所祭者也。故冬至，夏至，入陽氣，陰注布貞以精明魄，權成其尊也。）《春秋感精符》曰：“日將蝕，必先青黃不卒，至漸消也。日光沉掩、皆月所掩毀傷：雌為政，伐其雄。”京氏曰：“日失魄者，將蝕：月失魄者，水：所謂失者，日光精移處若有兩日也。”《尚書璇璣鈐》曰：“北斗第一星，率色數赤不明，七日內日蝕。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日紫色出，二十日以上則蝕既，禍必合。”

The "Constant Rites" are verified by the principle of similar things influencing each other, and "Chu Meng" is based on the supreme position. Both are related to the yang essence and luminous spirit of the Sun. The original commentary says: "Constant Rites" and "Chu Meng" are the objects of worship in the twelfth month of each year. Therefore, at the time of the winter solstice and summer solstice, when yang energy enters and yin energy spreads out to stabilize, it is used to preserve the clarity and luminous spirit of the sun, and to measure and establish its exalted position. The "Spring and Autumn Records of the Essence and Spirit" states: When the sun is about to be eclipsed, it will first show a greenish-yellow color that remains for a long time, and then its brightness gradually diminishes. When the sunlight becomes dim and obscured, it is due to the moon blocking and injuring it: this is when the female (yin, concubine, minister) takes power, and reversely attacks the male (yang, sovereign). Jing Fang said: When the sun loses its luminous spirit, there will be an eclipse; when the moon loses its luminous spirit, there will be flooding disasters.the so-called "loss" refers to the refined energy of the sun's light moving out of place, appearing as if there are two suns. The "Book of Documents: Xuan Ji Qian" says: The color of the first star of the Big Dipper (Tian Shu) is generally red but not bright, and there will be an eclipse within seven days. The "Spring and Autumn Records of the Essence and Spirit" says: When the sun appears purple and lasts for more than twenty days, a total solar eclipse will occur, and disasters will surely follow.

石氏曰：“日月以二月、八月，出房南：過其度、其沖戶日月以晦蝕；出房北過其度、其沖，日月以朔蝕。”郗萌曰：“辰星受制，不見輿鬼，乃日蝕。”郗萌曰：“歲星、辰星，逆乘張左右角，皆為日蝕，國有大變。”《荊州占》曰：“諸日變皆旬望以上：旬十日、望十五日，其沖月，皆應當蝕。乃災成正月日色變，來七月日蝕是也。”韓楊曰：“熒惑南去列星間，從四舍以上，期百二十日日蝕，”

Shi Shen said: When the sun and moon pass through the Room mansion to the south in February and August, if they exceed the proper degree, then on the opposite position, the sun and moon will be eclipsed on the day of the new moon. If they pass through the Room mansion to the north and exceed the degree, then on the opposite position, the sun and moon will be eclipsed on the day of the old moon. Xi Meng said: If the water star is restrained and not visible in the Ghost mansion, there will be an eclipse of the sun. Xi Meng also said: If the Jupiter and the water star move in reverse and encroach upon the left and right angles of the Extended Net mansion, it indicates an eclipse of the sun and a great calamity in the country. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: The time when various solar phenomena occur is more than ten or fifteen days: one ten-day period is ten days, one full moon is fifteen days; when it reaches the month opposite to it, an eclipse of the sun will occur. For example, if the ominous signs appear in the first month as a change in the color of the sun, then in the seventh month an eclipse of the sun will occur, which is the principle behind this. Han Yang said: If the Mars moves southward beyond the space between the constellations, passing through four star dwellings, an eclipse of the sun will occur within a period of one hundred and twenty days.

《易萌氣樞》曰：“日夜蝕者，火中無影，言日當夜蝕；建八尺竹，視其下無影，蝕不可見，故以表候之耳。日所以夜蝕者，人君諱其過；臣下強，君不能制；見臣之惡，反以為善；見臣邪僻，反以為正直；故日夜蝕中陰過盛，陽道微，日夜蝕者，謀臣誅。”

The "Yi Meng Qi Shu" says: The so-called "day and night eclipse" refers to the situation where no shadow can be seen under the light of a lamp or candle, indicating that the Sun is being eclipsed at night. If a bamboo pole eight feet high is erected, there is no shadow beneath it—since the eclipse of the Sun at night cannot be seen with the naked eye, it must be measured with the gnomon. The Sun being eclipsed at night is because the ruler conceals his own faults; the ministers are powerful and the ruler cannot control them; when seeing the evil deeds of the ministers, he treats them as good; when seeing the ministers' perverse and improper behavior, he treats it as upright. Therefore, "day and night eclipse" is a sign of excessive Yin energy and declining Yang energy. When day and night eclipses occur, it indicates that ministers plotting rebellion will be executed.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日月赤黃無光．命曰薄；破毀傷，命曰蝕。”孟康子曰：“日月無光曰薄。”京房《易傳》曰：“日月不交而蝕，曰薄。”韋昭曰：“月氣往迫之，為薄。”京房《易傳》曰：“蝕皆於晦朔；有不於晦朔者，名曰薄。此人君誅不以理，賊臣漸舉兵而起，雖非日月同宿，時陰氣盛，猶掩薄日光也。”《釋名》曰：“日月虧；日蝕稍侵，虧如蟲食木也。”（按謝承《後漢書》曰：“江夏黃琬七歲，祖瓊為魏郡太守，梁太后詔問其日蝕之狀未能對。

The *Yellow River Chart* (*He Tu*) says: when the sun and moon appear red-yellow but without light, it is called "bo"; when the sun or moon has damage or deficiency, it is called "shi". Meng Kang says: when the sun and moon lose their light, it is called "bo". Jing Fang's *Book of Changes* says: when the sun and moon do not meet but there is a deficiency, it is called "bo". Wei Zhao says: when the moon's dark energy approaches and presses upon the sunlight, it is called "bo". Jing Fang's *Book of Changes* also says: solar eclipses occur only on the last day of the month and the first day of the month; if there is a deficiency not on these days, it is called "bo". This is because the ruler's punishments are unjust, and wicked ministers gradually rise up in rebellion; even though the sun and moon are not in the same night, the dark energy is strong enough to cover and press upon the sunlight. Liu Xi's *Shi Ming* says: when the sun and moon have deficiencies, solar eclipses are caused by gradual invasion and loss, and the deficiency is like insects boring into wood. The original text's note: Xie Cheng's *Later Han Book* records that Huang Wan, a seven-year-old boy from Jiangxi, his grandfather Huang Qiong served as the governor of Wei Jun. When the Empress Dowager Liang asked about the shape of a solar eclipse, Huang Qiong could not answer.

琬跪而曰：何不言日蝕之餘，如月之初。”）《穀梁傳》曰：“日有蝕之，吐者外壤，蝕者內壤，闕然不見，其壤有食之者也。”《毛詩》曰：“彼月而食，則惟其常此日而食，於何不臧。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“麟龍鬥，則日月蝕。”（按：《淮南鴻烈》曰：“麒麟斗日月蝕也。”）《五經通義》曰：“日蝕者，月往蔽之；君臣反不以道，故蝕。”《春秋漢含孽》曰：“臣子謀，日乃蝕。”（案檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：“孝武太元元年，十月辛亥，日有蝕之。

Huang Wan knelt by the side and said: Why not answer that the shape of the eclipsed sun is like the crescent moon at its first appearance? The "Guliang Commentary" says: When the sun is eclipsed, what is exposed is the outer part, and what is devoured is the inner part. The sun's disk is missing a portion and disappears, indicating that the missing part has been eaten by something. The "Mao Shi" says: When the moon is eclipsed, it is still a common occurrence; but when the sun is eclipsed, how ominous it is. The "Chunqiu Kaoyi You" says: When a qilin and a dragon fight, solar and lunar eclipses occur. The original commentary notes: The "Huainanzi Honglie" says that when a qilin fights, the sun and moon are eclipsed. The "Wujing Tongyi" says: A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes in front of the sun; it is due to the disorder between the ruler and the minister, which is against the Way. The "Chunqiu Han Nye" says: When a minister harbors schemes, the sun is eclipsed. The original commentary notes: Tan Daoluan's "Jingyang Qiu" records that on the tenth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Taoyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty, a solar eclipse occurred.

時有張五虎、路六根等謀反，諸葛偘誘斬之，滅其凶黨。）《春秋運斗樞》曰：“人主自恣不循古，逆天暴物，禍起則日蝕。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君喜怒無常，輕殺不辜，戮無罪，慢天地，忽鬼神，則日蝕。”《淮南子》曰：“君失其行，日薄蝕無光。”京房《易說》曰：“下侵上，則日蝕。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日蝕所宿，國主疾，貴人死；用兵者從蝕之面攻城取地。”《河圖》曰：“日三蝕，三雄謀；日四蝕，四夷謀。”《春秋感精符》曰：“再失陽事，則日蝕，謫見。”

At that time, Zhang Wuhu, Lu Liugen, and others conspired to rebel, and Zhuge Guo lured them out and killed them, thus eliminating this group of villains. The "Spring and Autumn Record of the Movement of the Stars" says: When a ruler indulges himself and does not follow ancient laws, violates the heavenly timing, and harms all things, calamity arises and an eclipse of the sun occurs. The "Rites of the Celestial Authority" says: When a ruler is unpredictable in his anger and joy, rashly kills the innocent, and executes those without guilt, and is disrespectful to heaven and earth and neglectful of spirits, an eclipse of the sun occurs. The "Huainanzi" says: When a ruler's actions are improper, the sun approaches and becomes eclipsed, losing its brightness. Jingfang's "Commentary on the Changes" says: When the lower violates the upper, an eclipse of the sun occurs. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the World" says: When the sun is eclipsed, the star mansion where the sun resides has its corresponding kingdom's ruler suffering illness, and the nobleman dies; those who go to war should attack from the side where the eclipse occurs. The "Yellow River Chart" says: Three solar eclipses in a year indicate three strong figures each with their own schemes; four solar eclipses indicate the four directions of the barbarians each with their own schemes. The "Spring and Autumn Record of the Sensitive Spirits" says: When there are again instances of improper governance in the yang aspect on earth, an eclipse of the sun occurs, which is a manifestation of heaven's condemnation.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕有三法；一曰妃黨恣，邪臣在側，日黃無澤，則日以晦蝕，其發必於眩惑。二曰偏任權並，大臣擅法，則日青黑，以二日蝕，其發必於酷毒。三曰宗黨犯命，威權害國，則日赤鬱怏無光色，則日以朔蝕，其發必行嫌隙。”班固《天文志》曰：“古人有言曰：天下太平，五星循度，無有逆行者；日不蝕塑，月不蝕望。”洪範《傳》曰：“日蝕必以朔，非朔為薄蝕。陰盛侵陽，其君凶，不出三年；日蝕皆蝕合朔，不理，臣下將起，則日蝕不以朔晦。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Treatise on the Divine Symbols says that solar eclipses have three causes. The first is when the concubines' factions behave recklessly and corrupt ministers are close to the sovereign, at this time the sun appears yellow and lacks brightness, and a solar eclipse occurs on the last day of the month, calamity will certainly arise from the sovereign being misled. The second is when the sovereign relies on a single person and holds all power, and ministers act arbitrarily with the laws, at this time the sun appears dark blue, and a solar eclipse occurs on the second day of the month, calamity will certainly arise from cruelty and harm. The third is when the royal relatives' factions disobey the sovereign's orders and use their authority to harm the state, at this time the sun appears red and is dark and gloomy with no brightness, and a solar eclipse occurs on the first day of the month, calamity will certainly arise from mutual suspicion and discord. Ban Gu's Book of Han: Records of the Heavenly Phenomena says that ancients said, when the world is at peace, the five planets follow their normal paths and do not retrograde; solar eclipses do not occur on the first day of the month, and lunar eclipses do not occur on the full moon day. The Transmission of the Book of the Mandate of Heaven says: solar eclipses must occur on the first day of the month, those that occur on other days are called 'thin eclipses'. When yin qi prevails and invades yang qi, the sovereign will have misfortune, and the calamity will occur within three years. Solar eclipses normally occur when the sun and moon are in conjunction on the first day of the month, but if the government is unjust and ministers are about to rebel, solar eclipses will occur neither on the first day of the month nor on the last day of the month.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日之蝕，國絕也。”《春秋緯》曰：“君不聰聽，無知德威，今不嚴舒，懦為臣下所侵，則日光青赤，其後久旱，地動搖宮，陰氣盛，下臣太恣橫，陽精挑奪，日行失度，不得，則日月薄於晦，陽為臣所悅，故以晦日蝕之，失後也。”（案洪範《天文日月度占》曰：“春秋魯昭公二十四年夏五月乙未朔，日月有蝕之，周之五日建辰，今之三月也。魯趙分也，魯太師梓曰：將水叔孫昭子曰：旱也，夫日過春分而陽猶不勝陰，能無旱乎；是秋魯大旱。

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of thesympathetic response of the Spirit says: When the sun is eclipsed, it is a sign that the state's fortune will be cut off. The Spring and Autumn Waijing says: If the ruler is unable to clearly discern and listen, does not understand how to bestow virtue and establish authority, and his decrees are neither strict nor lenient, weak and thus subject to infringement by ministers, the color of the sun will turn into a mixture of green and red. After this, there will be prolonged drought and earthquakes shaking the palaces. The yin forces become strong, and the ministers act recklessly and beyond bounds. The yang essence of the sun is disturbed and taken by the ministers, causing the sun's movement to lose its regular course and become irregular, leading to an eclipse of the sun and moon on the day of the new moon. Yang is taken by the ministers who flatter and control the ruler, so the eclipse occurs on the day of the new moon, which is a delayed response. The original commentary says: The Hongfan Astronomical and Celestial Phenomena Divination says that in the twenty-fourth year of Duke Zhao of Lu, in the summer of the fifth month on the day of the new moon, there was a solar eclipse. This was the fifth month of the Zhou calendar, with the star of the Dragon's Tail in the position of the Dragon's Head, equivalent to the third month in the current calendar. Lu was in the territory corresponding to Zhao. Lu's Grand Master Zi said this would indicate water disaster, while Duke Shu Sun Zhaozi said it would indicate drought. Since the sun had passed the spring equinox and the yang energy was still not able to overcome the yin energy, how could there not be drought? That year, Lu indeed experienced a severe drought in the autumn.

凡二至、二分日有蝕之，不為水災，大旱而已也。）《易萌氣樞》曰：“昭明蔽塞，政在臣下，親戚干朝，君不覺悟，即雜氣失以星奔，日蝕為咎。”（案《洪範五行傳》曰：“漢成帝建始三年冬十二月戊申朔日有食之，其夜未央殿地震，日在須女九度，占在皇后貴妾。其後皇后廢趙飛燕，姊妹亂官，皇子死，王氏專權。）《易通卦驗》曰：“日蝕則害命，王道傾側；故日蝕則正人主之過。

Whenever an eclipse occurs on the days of the four solar terms: Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice, Spring Equinox, and Autumn Equinox, it does not indicate water disasters, but only great drought. The book "Yi Meng Qi Shu" says: When brightness is blocked and obstructed, the government falls into the hands of ministers, relatives of the emperor interfere in state affairs, yet the emperor remains unaware. Thus, chaotic energies become disordered, stars lose their positions, and an eclipse becomes a sign of calamity. The original commentary notes: "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan" states that in the third year of Jian Shi during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, on the winter twelfth month, on the first day of the month (Wu Shen), an eclipse occurred, and that night the earth trembled in the Weiyang Palace. The sun was at nine degrees in the mansion of Nuxu, and the divination text refers to the empress and favored concubine. After that, the empress was dismissed, Zhao Feiyan became favored, the Zhao sisters caused disorder in the palace, the prince died young, and the Wang clan, the maternal relatives, seized power. "Yi Tong Gua Xian" says: an eclipse will endanger the emperor's life and cause the Way of the King to tilt and collapse; thus, an eclipse is used to correct the emperor's mistakes.

《詩推度災》曰：“日蝕君傷。”（按檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武大元二十年三月庚辰日有食之，二十一年九月庚申帝崩。）《詩含神霧》曰：“日之蝕，帝消。”（案袁宏《漢紀》曰：“安帝永初五年正月庚辰朔，日有蝕之，本志為正旦，王者聽朝之日也，鄧太后攝政，天子守虛位，不得行其號令，蓋陽不克之象也。《晉中興書》曰：“成帝咸和六年三月壬戌朔，日有食之，是時顯宗已長，幸司徒第，猶出入見王導夫人曹氏如子弟之禮。以人君而敬人臣之妻有虧君德。

The "Poetry of Divination of Calamities" says: When an eclipse occurs, the sovereign is harmed. The original commentary notes: Tan Daoluan's "Jinyang Spring" records that in the twentieth year of Emperor Xiaowu's Taoyuan reign in the Jin dynasty, on the third day of the third month, Gengchen, an eclipse occurred. In the twenty-first year of Taoyuan, on the ninth month, Gengshen, Emperor Xiaowu died. The "Poetry Containing Divine Mist" says: When the sun is eclipsed, the emperor suffers loss. The original commentary notes: Yuan Hong's "Han Records" states that in the fifth year of Emperor An's Yongchu reign, on the first day of the first month, Gengchen, an eclipse occurred. This record believes that the first day of the first month is the day when the sovereign governs and listens to court affairs. At that time, Deng太后 was ruling on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor was merely a figurehead, unable to implement his own decrees. This is an omen of yang being unable to overcome yin. The "Jin Zhongxingshu" says that in the sixth year of Emperor Cheng's Xianhe reign, on the first day of the third month, Renxu, an eclipse occurred. At that time, Emperor Cheng had already grown up, yet he still visited the residence of the Minister of State, entering and leaving to pay respects to Lady Cao, the wife of Wang Dao, still showing the respect due to a younger brother. A sovereign of high rank bowing to the wife of a minister is a loss of the sovereign's authority and virtue.

九年十月乙未朔，日有食之，是時顯宗冠，當親萬幾，而委政大臣，君道有虧也。”）《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“凡日蝕之敗，或地嘔血，或天雨蝗鳥旁，蜚龍群鬥，長人入宮，虎哭雉巢，列宿火，皆禍敗顯然之徵也。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“日蝕之後，必有亡國弒君，奔走乖離，相誅專政，擁主滅，兵車天下，昏亂，邦多郵。”（按洪範《天文志日月變占》曰：春秋魯昭公十五年夏，六月丁巳朔，日有食之。晉魯分也，後二年晉昭公九年，六卿專晉，三家擅魯，魯昭公奔之應也。

In the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, on the tenth month, on the day of the new moon, another solar eclipse occurred. At that time, Emperor Cheng had already performed the coming-of-age ceremony, and should have personally managed state affairs, yet he entrusted the government to ministers, which was a failure in the way of a ruler. The "Spring and Autumn Secret Spring and Autumn" states: All the calamities caused by solar eclipses may manifest as blood gushing from the earth, or locusts and birds falling from the sky, or groups of dragons fighting, or unusually tall people entering the palace, or tigers howling and wild chickens nesting in trees, or fire appearing between the stars—these are all signs of impending disaster. The "Spring and Autumn Secret Spring and Autumn" also says: After a solar eclipse, there will certainly be events of the destruction of a state and the assassination of a king. People will flee and scatter, become estranged from each other, kill one another and seize power, hold the king hostage leading to the collapse of the state, war chariots rolling across the land, the world in chaos, and many states committing offenses and sins. The original text's marginal note says: The "Hydrological Plan" section of the "Celestial Phenomena" in the "Book of Documents" states that in the fifteenth year of Duke Zhao of Lu, in the summer of the sixth month, on the day of the new moon, a solar eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region was that of the state of Jin and Lu. Two years later, in the ninth year of Duke Zhao of Jin, the six ministers monopolized the power of Jin, and the three families dominated Lu, and Duke Zhao of Lu fled, which was the fulfillment of this solar eclipse.

洪範《五行傳》曰：“漢高帝三年冬十一月癸卯晦，日有食之。吳齊分也，後二年齊韓信徙封楚王，三年廢為侯而誅之應也。《晉中興書》曰：“太和三年三月丁巳，日有食之，五年七月癸酉日有食之，皆海西被廢之應也。《宋書天文志》曰：“晉元帝太興元年四月丁丑朔，日有食之。明帝大寧三年十一月癸巳朔，日有蝕之，在斗。斗吳分也，其後蘇峻作逆。安帝元興二年四月癸巳朔，日有食之。其冬桓玄篡位。）《春秋合誠圖》曰：“日蝕之，主見賊。”

A supplementary note cites the "Transmission of the Five Phases" from the "Hóngfàn" which says that in the winter of the third year of Emperor Gao of Han, on the last day of the eleventh month, on a Gui Mao day, an eclipse of the sun occurred, and its corresponding region was Wu and Qi. Two years later, King Han Xin of Qi was transferred to be the King of Chu, and in the third year he was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin and was executed, which was the fulfillment of the prediction. The "Jin Zhongxīng Shū" says that in the third year of Tahe of the废帝 (Emperor Sui of Jin), on the third day of the third lunar month, on a Ding Si day, an eclipse of the sun occurred; and in the fifth year of Tahe, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, on a Gui You day, another eclipse occurred, both of which were the fulfillment of the prediction of the deposition of the Prince Haixi (Emperor Sui). The "Sòng Shū · Tianwen Zhi" says that in the first year of Taixing of Emperor Yuan of Jin, on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, on a Ding Chou day, an eclipse of the sun occurred; in the third year of Taining of Emperor Ming, on the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month, on a Gui Si day, an eclipse occurred, located in the Dipper mansion, which is the corresponding region of Wu, and later Su Jun caused rebellion; in the second year of Yuanxing of Emperor An, on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, on a Gui Si day, an eclipse occurred, and that year in winter, Huan Xuan usurped the throne. The "Chunqiu Hecheng Tu" says that when the sun is eclipsed, the ruler will encounter rebels.

《春秋保乾圖》曰：“日蝕，主行蔽明，壅塞；改身修政，乃黜不法。又曰：日蝕治亂。”《春秋公羊傳》曰：“日蝕，皆臣弒君，子弒父，夷狄侵中國之異。”（按洪範《天文志日月變占》曰：‘春秋魯莊公十八年春三月，日有食之，衛齊分也，後狄人減衛，齊桓公救而封之應也。二十六年冬十二月癸亥朔，日有食之，燕分也。其後山戎侵燕，齊桓救燕北至孤竹，平山戎之應也。三十年九月癸亥朔，日有食之，楚之分也；其後楚世子商臣殺其君父之應也。

The "Spring and Autumn Preservation of the Heaven Diagram" says: when an eclipse occurs, it is because the ruler's actions have obscured the virtue of illumination, and the communication between above and below is blocked; the ruler should examine himself, clarify his government affairs, and dismiss those who do not abide by the laws. It also says: eclipses are related to the distinction between order and chaos. The "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Commentary" says: all eclipses are omens of such anomalies as ministers killing their sovereigns, sons killing their fathers, and the barbarians invading the Central States. The original text's marginal note says: The "Heavenly Mandate" "Astronomical Records on the Changes of the Sun and Moon and Their Omens" says that in the eighteenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu in the Spring and Autumn period, in spring of the third month, an eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region was Wei and Qi; later the Di people destroyed Wei, and Duke Huan of Qi sent troops to rescue it and re-established the territory of Wei, which was the fulfillment of the omen. In the twenty-sixth year of Duke Zhuang, in winter of the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, which was the day of Guihai, an eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region was Yan; later the Shanrong people invaded Yan, and Duke Huan of Qi rescued Yan, marched north and reached Guzhu, and pacified the Shanrong, which was the fulfillment of the omen. In the thirtieth year of Duke Zhuang, in September, on the first day of the month, which was the day of Guihai, an eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region was Chu; later the太子 Shangchens of Chu killed his sovereign father, Duke Cheng of Chu, which was the fulfillment of the omen.

魯文公元年春二月癸亥朔，日有食之，齊分也；後十一年間狄三侵齊，十四年昭公卒，其弟公子商人殺其君凡子而自立，四年齊人殺之，大亂之應。十五年六月辛丑朔，日有食之，晉分也；此正陽純乾之月，陰氣未起而能侵陽，其災最重；明年晉趙穿殺其君靈公，而周匡王崩之應也。魯襄公二十一年秋九月庚戌朔，日有食之，楚分也；後十二年楚公子圍殺其君兄而自立之應也。韋昭《漢紀》曰：‘光武十七年二月日有食之，二十年五月朔，虜數犯上黨，銅閛右扶風。

In the first year of Duke Lu Wen Gong, in spring, second month, on the first day of the month, which was Guihai, an eclipse of the sun occurred, and its corresponding region belonged to Qi. After this, within the next eleven years, the Di people invaded Qi three times. In the fourteenth year of Duke Wen Gong, Duke Zhao of Qi died, and his younger brother, Prince Shangyan, killed the king and took the throne. Four years later, the people of Qi killed him again, which was the fulfillment of great disorder. In the fifteenth year of Duke Wen Gong, in June, on the first day of the month, which was Xinchou, an eclipse of the sun occurred, and its corresponding region belonged to Jin. June is the month of pure Heaven and乾, and the Yin energy should not have risen yet, but it was able to invade the Yang energy, so this omen was the most severe. The following year, Zhao Chuan of Jin killed Duke Ling of Jin, and King Zhou Kuangwang died, which was its fulfillment. In the twenty-first year of Duke Xiang Gong, in autumn, ninth month, on the first day of the month, which was Gengxu, an eclipse of the sun occurred, and its corresponding region belonged to Chu. Twelve years later, Prince Wuwei of Chu killed his elder brother, Jiaao, and took the throne as Duke Ling of Chu, which was its fulfillment. Wei Zhao's "Han Ji" says: In the seventeenth year of Jianwu of Han Guangwu, in February, an eclipse of the sun occurred. In the twentieth year of Jianwu, in May, on the first day of the month, another eclipse of the sun occurred. After this, the Hu people repeatedly invaded Shangdang, and their forces reached Tongyao and Youfeng.

二十一年匈奴大入上谷郡之應是也。）《洛書》曰：“日蝕復生者，日光復故也，後日蝕生地擊敵破之。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕之下，有破國大戰，將軍死，有賊兵。”（按洪範《天文日月變占》曰：‘魯成公十六月丙寅朔，日有食之，晉分也；是月魯侯伐鄭，戰於鄢陵，楚師大敗，恭王傷目，將軍子反死之，昔侯時豫而驕，多殺大臣，明年晉大夫樂書中行偃遂殺厲公，大亂之應也。）

In the 21st year of Jianwu, the Xiongnu launched a large-scale invasion into Shanggu Commandery, which was the fulfillment of this solar eclipse. The Luo Writing says: after a solar eclipse, the light is restored, meaning the sun returns to its original state; afterwards, one should raise an army at the place where the eclipse occurred, attack the enemy and defeat them. The Jingzhou Divination says: the area covered by the solar eclipse will experience a great battle where a country is destroyed, a general dies in battle, and there is rebellion by bandits. The original commentary notes: The Hongfan Astronomical and Celestial Phenomena Divination says that in the sixteenth year of Duke Cheng of Lu (the original text says 'sixteenth month', missing one character), on the first day of the sixth month, a solar eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region was Jin; during that month, Duke of Lu led his army to attack Zheng, and the two armies fought at Yancheng. The Chu army suffered a great defeat, and King Gong of Chu was injured in his eye. The general Zi Fan died as a result. At that time, Duke of Jin (the original text mistakenly says 'Xi Duke') was indulgent and arrogant, killing too many ministers. The next year, the Jin minister Luan Shu and Zhonghang Yan killed Duke Li, which was the fulfillment of great chaos.

《洛書》曰：“日蝕不祥，善惡各為其國。”（按《左氏傳》曰：昭公七年，夏四月甲辰朔，日有食之。晉侯問於士，文伯曰：誰將當日食？對曰：魯衛惡之，衛大魯小。公曰何故？對曰去衛地如魯地。杜注曰：衛地豕韋也，魯地降婁也，日食自於豕韋之末及降婁之始乃息，故禍在衛大，在魯小也。《傳》曰：於是有災，魯實受之其大咎，其衛君乎？魯將工卿注曰：八月衛候卒；十一月季孫宿卒。

The Luo Writing says: an eclipse of the sun is an omen of ill fortune, with good or bad fortune depending on the country it corresponds to. A note in the original text says: According to the Zuo Zhuan, in the seventh year of Duke Zhao of Lu, in the fourth month of summer, on the first day of the month, which was Jiachen, there was an eclipse of the sun. Duke Jing of Jin asked the scholar Shi Wenbo: which country will be affected by this eclipse? Shi Wenbo replied: Lu and Wei will suffer, with Wei suffering more severely and Lu suffering less. Duke Jing asked why, and the reply was: because this eclipse moved from the territory of Wei to that of Lu. Du Yu's commentary says: the territory corresponding to Wei is Shiwei, and that of Lu is Jianglou; this eclipse began at the end of Shiwei and ended at the beginning of Jianglou, so the calamity was greater on Wei and lighter on Lu. The Zuo Zhuan also says: therefore there will be disaster, and Lu will indeed suffer, but the greater blame will probably fall upon the king of Wei. Lu will lose its ministers. Du Yu's commentary says: that year in August, the king of Wei died, and in November, the minister Ji Sun Xu of Lu died.

又洪範《天文日月變占》曰：‘魯僖公五年秋九月戊申朔，日有食之，楚周之分也；其後楚莊王觀兵於周疆，有問鼎之應。’洪範《五行傳》曰：“漢高帝三年冬十月甲戌晦、日有食之，燕吳越分也，後二年燕王滅茶反，誅；復以盧綰為燕王，亦反，誅。南越王趙佗自立稱帝之應也。）《洛書》：“日月蝕當用兵擊之，君安。日月蝕不可出軍；日蝕之歲，不可出軍；月蝕之月，不可出軍。”甘氏曰：“無道之國，日月過之薄蝕。兵之所攻，國家亡；又以有喪。”

Again, the "Heavenly Mandate" section on "Celestial Phenomena and Divination of Solar and Lunar Eclipses" states: In the fifth year of Duke Xi of Lu, in autumn, the ninth month, on the first day of the month (Wushen), a solar eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region belonged to Chu and Zhou; afterwards, King Cheng of Chu stationed his troops at the border of Zhou and questioned Wang Sunman about the weight of the Nine Tripods, which was its fulfillment. The "Five Phases Transmission" of the "Heavenly Mandate" says: In the third year of Emperor Gao of Han, in winter, the tenth month, on the last day of the month (Jiaxu), a solar eclipse occurred, and its corresponding region belonged to Yan, Wu, and Yue; two years later, Prince Zang Tu of Yan (the original text mistakenly writes 'Mie Chai') rebelled and was executed, and Liu Wan was appointed as the King of Yan instead, who also rebelled and was executed; King Zhao Tuo of Nan Yue proclaimed himself emperor, which were all fulfillments. The "Luo Writing" says: When the sun or moon is eclipsed, one should take advantage of the opportunity to attack and thus preserve the ruler's position. It also says that when the sun or moon is eclipsed, one must not attack; one must not launch military campaigns in the year of a solar eclipse or in the month of a lunar eclipse. Gan De says: In an unvirtuous state, when the sun or moon passes through its corresponding region, it will be eclipsed; where military conflict occurs, the state will perish, and there will also be other calamities.

甘氏曰：“日，陽精之明耀，魄寶其氣，佈德而至，生本在地，曰德。德者，生之類也，德傷則亡，故日蝕必有國災，日蝕則失德之國亡。日蝕，修德。”甘氏曰：“日薄，色赤黃，其月旱。”京房《妖占》曰：“日蝕，無道之君當之。”京氏曰：“外交之蝕，蝕旦不虧，虧而地猶明，是外謀也。”京氏曰：“專政之蝕，日明缺至，陽雖侵，光猶明，是司馬舉兵欲起。”京氏曰：“日蝕，諸侯相侵；白、青、明，君弱。”京氏曰：“日蝕，國有兵，大戰從西方來，勝。”

Gan De said: The sun is the brightness and prestige of the yang essence, its light and spirit contain its vital energy, spreading benevolence and descending upon the human world; the fundamental basis for the growth of all things lies in the earth, which is called "de." "De" belongs to the category of nurturing and fostering; when "de" is harmed, the vitality is lost, so solar eclipses must bring calamity to the state, and a solar eclipse signifies that a state lacking virtue will perish; when a solar eclipse occurs, the ruler should cultivate virtue. Gan De also said: When the sun is partially obscured and its color appears reddish-yellow, it indicates a drought in the month. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" said: A solar eclipse signifies that an unjust ruler will bear the consequences. Jing Fang said: What is called "external conspiracy eclipse" is when the eclipse occurs in the early morning and the sun's disc does not show any damage, although it is deficient, the ground remains bright, indicating that there are people plotting outside. Jing Fang also said: What is called "exclusive power eclipse" is when the sunlight is bright and the deficiency comes immediately, even though the yang energy is invaded, the light remains bright, indicating that the military commander will raise an army to revolt. Jing Fang also said: A solar eclipse indicates that the feudal lords will attack each other; if the sunlight is white or blue and bright, it indicates the ruler's weakness. Jing Fang also said: A solar eclipse indicates that there will be military conflict within the country, and during a great battle, the side attacking from the west will win.

京氏曰：“日蝕，王為君蝕，相為臣蝕，囚為罪人蝕，死為夷狄蝕。休為民，有兵；其兵從陰所來，日蝕後必通水，在陰所來；在於三年之內，又必有火燒屋。”（按韋昭《洞紀》曰：漢和帝永元二年二月日食，三年，左校尉耿夔等征匈奴，戰破之。安帝元初三年日蝕；京師旱，武陵蠻夷燒官寺。桓帝永康元年日食，渤海水溢，殺人。十二月丁丑帝崩。

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, if the current qi is in the position of "Wang" (sovereignty) among the Five Phases, the calamity should fall upon the ruler; if in the position of "Xiang" (minister), it should fall upon the ministers; if in the position of "Qiu" (captivity), it should fall upon the criminals; if in the position of "Si" (death), it should fall upon the barbarians; if in the position of "Xiu" (rest), it should fall upon the common people, and there will be military conflict, with the military disaster coming from the direction of the yin qi. After an eclipse, there will certainly be a great flood, also coming from the direction of the yin qi; within three years, there will certainly be a fire that destroys houses. The original commentary notes: Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji" records that in the second month of the second year of Emperor He of Han's Yongyuan era, there was an eclipse. In the third year, General耿Kui and others went out to attack the Xiongnu and defeated them. In the third year of Yuanchou of Emperor An's reign, there was an eclipse, and the capital experienced a severe drought, with the Wuling barbarians burning government offices. In the first year of Yongkang of Emperor Huan's reign, there was an eclipse, and the sea in Bohai overflowed, drowning people. In this same month of December, the Dingchou day, Emperor Huan died.

孫盛《晉陽秋》曰：武帝太康七年正月甲寅朔，日有食之，乙卯又食；詔曰：邦之不滅，實在朕躬；公卿大臣，極言其失，太尉亮、司徒舒、司空馞上言曰：三朔之始，日有食之。蓋陽即過，而墜冰未消；謹按經義曰：君道也；父道也；夫道也；君子道也；陽勝陰，陽氣之常：今丞不消，陰氣盛；陰盛者，臣擅主權也；孝道不修也；後宮過度，小人在位也。後八年正月戊申朔，日又食，太熙元年而武帝崩之應也。）劉向《洪範傳》曰：“日之為異，莫重於蝕；春秋日蝕則書之也。

A note continues to cite Sun Sheng's "Jinyang Spring and Autumn": In the first month of the seventh year of Tai Kang of Emperor Wu of Jin, on the first day of the month Jiayin, an eclipse of the sun occurred. The next day, Yimao, another eclipse took place. Emperor Wu issued an edict saying that the country's unrest was entirely my own fault, and he asked the ministers to freely point out his mistakes. The Grand Tutor (Simawang) Liang, the Grand Tutor (Weifushu) Shu, and the Grand Master of Works "Bo" (a person's name with a possible error in the original text) submitted a memorial stating: The first day of the first month is the beginning of the year, month, and day. However, an eclipse occurred on that day. At this time, yang energy should have already been flourishing, yet the fallen ice had not yet melted. According to the principles of the classics, yang represents the way of the sovereign, father, husband, and the gentleman. The dominance of yang over yin is the normal state of yang energy. Now, the ice has not melted, indicating that yin energy is strong. Strong yin energy signifies that ministers are usurping the sovereign's power, filial piety is neglected, the imperial harem is overstepping the law, and petty men are occupying high positions. Later, in the first month of the eighth year of Tai Kang, on the first day of the month Wushen, another solar eclipse occurred. By the time of Taixi Year One, when Emperor Wu died, this was fulfilled. Liu Xiang's "Hongfan Transmission" says: Among the strange phenomena of the sun, none is more serious than a solar eclipse. Therefore, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" always records such events.

日蝕者，下凌上，臣侵君之象也。日蝕數者，其亂眾；稀者，亂亦稀。”《洪範傳》曰：“人君失序，享國不明，臣下務亂，君陰蔽陽，則日月薄蝕，汶暗暗昧；若蝕從中起，背、= 縱橫，則亂交爭，兵革並行。”《史記天官書》曰：“諸侯作亂，日蝕盡時。”夏氏曰：“日蝕出軍，軍折傷，後疾病。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕當其國，君王死。”（按韋昭《洞紀》曰：‘周平王五十一年日食，三月平王崩。’

A solar eclipse symbolizes a subordinate overpowering a superior, and a minister encroaching upon the sovereign. The more frequent the solar eclipses, the more numerous the calamities; the fewer the solar eclipses, the fewer the calamities. The "Hóng Fàn Chuán" says: when the sovereign loses the order of the principles, and possesses the state but cannot illuminate it, the ministers conspire in disorder, and the sovereign is obscured by yin qi, losing his yang virtue. Thus the sun and moon will be partially obscured, and the world will be in darkness and confusion. If the eclipse begins from the center of the sun's disc, it indicates that the "back" qi and the curved deficient qi (the original text is missing at this point) intersect, which signifies that calamities will contend with each other, and wars will break out simultaneously. The "Shi Ji · Tian Gao Shu" says: when the princes raise armies in rebellion, it will be indicated by a total solar eclipse. Xia Shi says: to launch an army during a solar eclipse will result in the loss of soldiers and casualties, and after that, an epidemic will follow. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: if a solar eclipse occurs in the area corresponding to a certain state, the king of that state will die. The original commentary notes: Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji" says that in the fifty-first year of King Ping of Zhou, a solar eclipse occurred in March, and King Ping died that month.

洪範《天文志日月變占》曰：‘高帝九年六月乙未晦，日，日有食之，周秦分也，是時漢都長安，都東及洛陽為畿內。明年四月高帝崩。’韋昭《洞紀》曰：‘漢文帝二年十一月晦，日食，帝引咎責躬，舉直言，省莕費，闢籍田，除誹謗妖言之罪。文帝后四年四月晦，日食，七年六月已亥帝崩。哀帝元年正月辛丑朔，日有食之，不盡如鉤，明年哀帝崩。’晉《中興書》曰：愍帝建興五年十一月先晦，二日丙子，日有食之，十二月愍帝崩於虜庭。

The *Hóng Fàn* *Tianwen Zhi* *Riyue Bian Zhan* says: In the ninth year of Emperor Gao of Han, in June, on the day of the new moon (Yiwei), an eclipse of the sun occurred, and its area of influence belonged to the states of Zhou and Qin; at that time, the Han dynasty had its capital at Chang'an, and the area east of the capital, including Luoyang, was considered part of the inner territory. The next year, in April, Emperor Gao died. Wei Zhao's *Dongji* says: In the second year of Emperor Wen of Han, in November, on the day of the new moon (Bingzi), an eclipse of the sun occurred, and Emperor Wen took blame upon himself, opened up channels for frank speech, reduced expenditures, opened up the field for plowing and personally tilled the land, and abolished the crime of slander and defamation. In the fourth year of Emperor Wen's later years, in April, on the day of the new moon (Yiwei), another solar eclipse occurred. In the seventh year of Emperor Wen's later years, in June, on the day of the new moon (Jihai), Emperor Wen died. In the first year of Emperor Ai of Han, in January, on the day of the new moon (Xinchou), a solar eclipse occurred, with the sun's disk partially obscured, shaped like a hook. The next year, Emperor Ai died. The *Jin Zhongxingshu* says: In the fifth year of Emperor Min of Jin's Jianxing era, in November, on the day two days before the new moon (Bingzi), a solar eclipse occurred. In December, Emperor Min died in the court of the Hu people.

咸康八月正月乙未朔，日有食之，京都大雨，郡國以聞，是謂三朝王者惡之，六月而顯宗崩。昇平四年八月辛丑朔，日有食之，畿既在角，為天門，人主惡之，明年孝宗崩也。’）《洛書》曰：“日蝕，從所蝕利擊敵也。”王朔曰：“日蝕，兩敵相當，即從蝕所擊之，大勝殺將。”

In the eighth year of Xiankang (the original text says "the eighth month of Xiankang"), on the first day of the first lunar month, which was Yiwei, a solar eclipse occurred. The capital city experienced heavy rain, and all the commanderies and states reported this event. The first day of the first lunar month is the day when the year, month, and day all align, and the king particularly avoids solar eclipses on this day. The emperor died in the same year in June. In the fourth year of Shengping, on the first day of the eighth lunar month, which was Xinchou, a solar eclipse occurred. The area completely eclipsed was in the Horn mansion, which is the position of the heavenly gate, and the ruler particularly feared this. The next year, the emperor died. The Luo Writing says: when a solar eclipse occurs, it is most advantageous to attack the enemy from the side that is eclipsed. Wang Shuo says: when two enemies are facing each other during a solar eclipse, one should attack the enemy from the direction of the eclipse, which can lead to a great victory and the killing of the enemy general.

甘氏曰：“日出至早食時蝕為齊；食時至籨中食為楚；籨中至日中蝕為周；日中至日籦蝕為秦；日籦至日晡蝕為魏；晡時至日夕蝕為燕；日夕至日入蝕為代；皆為不出三年，當之者國有喪。”甘氏曰：“日始出而蝕，是謂無明，齊越受兵；一曰亡地。”京氏曰：“日始出而蝕，是謂棄光，齊楚亡。”甘氏曰：“日中而蝕，荊魏受兵；一曰亡地，海內兵大起。”《太公兵法》曰：“日中蝕，海內兵大起，王公憂。”石氏曰：“日晡蝕，兵將罷兵不起。”

Gan De said: If an eclipse of the sun occurs between sunrise and the first meal time, it should be in the state of Qi; between the first meal time and the time when the sun is at its highest, it should be in the state of Chu; between the time when the sun is at its highest and noon, it should be in the state of Zhou; between noon and the time when the sun begins to slope westward, it should be in the state of Qin; between the time when the sun begins to slope westward and the time of the afternoon meal, it should be in the state of Wei; between the time of the afternoon meal and the time of evening, it should be in the state of Yan; between the time of evening and sunset, it should be in the state of Dai. These situations will all be verified within three years, and the country that is indicated will experience mourning. Gan De also said: If the sun is eclipsed as soon as it rises, this is called 'wu ming' (no brightness), and both Qi and Yue will suffer military calamities; another view is that they will lose territory. Jing Fang said: If the sun is eclipsed as soon as it rises, this is called 'qi guang' (abandoning brightness), and both Qi and Chu will perish. Gan De said: If an eclipse of the sun occurs at noon, both Jing and Wei will suffer military calamities; another view is that they will lose territory, and there will be large-scale military campaigns throughout the country. The "Tai Gong Bing Fa" said: If an eclipse of the sun occurs at noon, there will be large-scale military campaigns throughout the country, and the kings and princes will be anxious and fearful. Shi Shen said: If an eclipse of the sun occurs at the time of the afternoon meal, the military will disband, and warfare will not resume.

甘氏曰：“日將入而蝕，大人出兵，趙燕當之；近期三月，遠期三年。”《魏氏圖》曰：“日入出蝕，是謂勝明，大人出兵起當之。”

Gan De said: When a solar eclipse occurs as the sun is setting, it indicates that a prominent person will lead an army, and the regions of Zhao and Yan will suffer this calamity; the immediate consequence will be within three months, while the distant consequence will be within three years. The "Wei Shi Tu" states: A solar eclipse occurring at sunset is called "Sheng Ming," indicating that a prominent person will lead military campaigns, and this phenomenon will be borne by him.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日以上蝕者，子為害。”甘氏曰：“幾日蝕，則有兵；日蝕從上，失於道，君當之。”京氏曰：“日蝕上者，君為其偽，佞人而安用之，故尊卑失禮，責於尊者；故天見亡君之象。”京房《易傳》曰：“凡日蝕從上，失臣。”郗萌曰：“日蝕上，皆為責在君；其色青，則弱於任善，生怨患；赤則君無禮，不好學；黃則君欺其下，掩臣美；白則弱於誅惡，生仇讎；黑則簡宗廟、鬼神。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of the Celestial Mandate says: When an eclipse of the sun begins from the upper part, the calamity affects the descendants. Gan De says: Whenever there is an eclipse of the sun, there will be military conflict; if the eclipse begins from the upper part, it indicates the fault of losing the Way, which is the responsibility of the sovereign. Jing Fang says: When an eclipse begins from the upper part, it signifies the sovereign's actions being insincere, knowingly employing wicked ministers, thus causing disorder in hierarchy and the collapse of rituals. Heaven's punishment then falls upon those in high position, so the heavens display the signs of a fallen sovereign. Jing Fang's Commentary on the Changes says: Whenever an eclipse begins from the upper part, it indicates the sovereign losing his ministers. Xi Meng says: When an eclipse occurs from the upper part, the responsibility lies with the sovereign: if the color is blue, it indicates the sovereign neglecting to employ virtuous men, thus fostering resentment and calamity; if red, it indicates the sovereign not following rituals and neglecting learning; if yellow, it indicates the sovereign deceiving subordinates and concealing the merits of ministers; if white, it indicates the sovereign neglecting to eliminate wickedness, thus accumulating enemies; if black, it indicates neglecting ancestral temples and disregarding spirits.

甘氏曰：“日蝕從中央起，內亂，兵大起，更立太子。”京氏曰：“日蝕內者，君即朝臨政，厲心為治，不疑臣下；臣下以邪，亂君政，故天見亡臣之象；故臣當之。”京氏曰：“日蝕從中，中青赤外黃，國亡；又曰：中人為亂。”郗萌曰：“日蝕中，皆為內有伏謀；青則謀者止，赤則謀其事，黃則謀成者受誅，白則事覺，黑則逆謀成其事。”洪範曰：“日蝕貫日中央，上下竟而黑，臣弒君，從中成之刑也。”《荊州占》曰：“凡日蝕從中者，人君有娶於同姓。”

Gan De said: When an eclipse begins at the center of the sun, it indicates internal turmoil and a great outbreak of military conflict, and also implies a change in the crown prince. Jing Fang said: When an eclipse starts from within, it signifies that the sovereign is governing the state diligently, not suspecting his ministers, but the ministers use improper means to disrupt the sovereign's policies. Therefore, heaven shows the sign of a doomed minister, and the ministers will bear the consequences. Jing Fang also said: When an eclipse begins at the center, if the middle is red and the outer part is yellow, the country will be destroyed; another view is that it indicates rebellion within. Xi Meng said: When an eclipse occurs at the center, it indicates there is a hidden plot within. If the color is blue, the plotter will stop; if red, the plot is being planned; if yellow, after the plot is successful, the mastermind will be executed; if white, the plot is exposed; if black, the rebellion will succeed. Hong Fan said: When an eclipse passes through the center of the sun, and the whole sun turns black, it indicates ministers will kill the sovereign, which is a punishment caused internally. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: Whenever an eclipse begins at the center, it indicates the sovereign has married a woman of the same surname.

《荊州占》曰：“日蝕從中央始，國君遇賊。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕從中起，君受兵；一曰所宿國有兵；一曰臣謀君。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕中央空，主死，期三年；應以善事，則消災。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If an eclipse of the sun begins from the center, the sovereign will encounter rebels. The same text also states: If an eclipse of the sun begins from the center, the ruler will face military calamity; another interpretation says that the country corresponding to the star mansion where the sun resides will experience warfare; yet another says that ministers will plot against the sovereign. The text also says: If the sun is eclipsed and the center is empty, forming a ring, the sovereign will die, and the time of this event will be three years later; if the sovereign responds to the heavenly warning with good governance and righteous deeds, the calamity can be averted.

甘氏曰：“日蝕從下者，王室女淫自恣，此臣下當有動，師眾行軍；又曰失於事，將當之。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕從下起，妻害急。”京氏曰：“日蝕從下起，失民，人君疑；於賢者為不肖，不用其政教，故天見亡民之象也。以人君尊；天將亡君，必先喪其民；蝕者，侵削之意也。”京氏曰：“日蝕從下起，多死；一曰下人為譖。”

Gan De said: When an eclipse of the sun begins at the lower part of the sun's disk, it indicates that the royal women are licentious and unrestrained; at this time, ministers will have unusual movements, mobilize troops and go to war; another view is that it is a loss in state affairs, which will be borne by the generals and commanders. The "Chunqiu Gan Jing Fu" said: When an eclipse of the sun begins at the lower part, it comes from the calamity of the wife's household, which is urgent. Jing Fang said: When an eclipse of the sun begins at the lower part, it indicates that the sovereign has lost the people's support; the sovereign harbors suspicion, regards the virtuous as unworthy, and refuses to adopt their policies and teachings, so the heavens show the signs of the people's loss. Because the sovereign is supreme, when the heavens intend to destroy a sovereign, they must first take away his people; "蚀" means to invade and reduce. Jing Fang also said: When an eclipse of the sun begins at the lower part, it indicates many deaths; another view is that people below are spreading false accusations and intrigues.

郗萌曰：“日蝕下，皆為責在民；青則民相譖，後有疾疫蟲災；赤則眾庶上，僭強乘弱，後有旱災；黃則失民，飭宮室，爭土疆，後有土功，皆奪主光，減年算；白則民相賊害，後有小兵；黑則小民多怨，後有水災，期三年也。”

Xi Meng said: When an eclipse occurs in the lower part, the responsibility lies with the common people. If the color turns blue, it indicates that the people are slandering and scheming against each other, and afterwards there will be plague and insect pests; if it turns red, it signifies that the common people are overstepping their rank and rebelling against authority, with the strong oppressing the weak, and afterwards there will be drought; if it turns yellow, it means losing the people's support, with the ruler indulging in palace construction and competing for land and borders, and afterwards there will be large-scale construction projects—these will all diminish the ruler's radiance and shorten his lifespan; if it turns white, it indicates that the people are harming each other, and afterwards there will be small-scale military conflicts; if it turns black, it means the common people have much resentment, and afterwards there will be floods, occurring within three years.

京氏曰：“日蝕，光清無雲，三日乃蝕；蝕已天鳴，蝕左右；此臣與君爭美尸大功。日，君也；所以有功者，我也；心生慕意，起之蝕也。後九年，臣謀君，六年成。”京氏曰：“日蝕左為噬嗑，火燒民。”京氏曰：“日蝕從傍起者，為兵從其方起，黎庶為亂。”郗萌曰：“日蝕左，皆為責在臣；青則臣專恩，赤則臣無禮於君，黃則臣侵君上，白則臣專法，黑則欺君，失臣。”京氏曰：“日蝕從右傍者，君親作惑，道虎狼之行。”

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, the sky is clear and there are no clouds, and three days later the eclipse happens. After the eclipse, there is a sound in the sky, and the eclipse appears on the left or right side of the sun - this is an omen of ministers competing with the sovereign for beauty and claiming great achievements for themselves. The sun symbolizes the sovereign, but the ministers think their achievements are entirely their own, and they develop a desire to seize power, thus causing such an eclipse. After nine years, a minister will kill the sovereign, and after six years, the deed will be accomplished. Jing Fang said: If the eclipse occurs on the left side, it corresponds to the Hexagram of Eating Fire, which indicates a fire that burns the people. Jing Fang also said: If the eclipse starts from the side, it indicates that warfare will arise from that direction, and the common people will rebel. Xi Meng said: If the eclipse occurs on the left side, the responsibility lies with the ministers: if the color is blue, it means the ministers monopolize the power of granting favors; if it is red, it means the ministers are disrespectful to the sovereign; if it is yellow, it means the ministers encroach upon the sovereign; if it is white, it means the ministers abuse the law; if it is black, it means the ministers deceive the sovereign, and the sovereign will lose his ministers. Jing Fang said: If the eclipse starts from the right side, it indicates that the sovereign himself causes confusion and carries out brutal and savage actions.

京氏曰：“日蝕右，皆為賁；火燒諸侯，必有異災起。”郗萌曰：“日蝕右，皆為責在臣；青則佐公作惡，赤則佐公作福，黃則放其君，白則佐公作刑，黑則臣作威。”《天鏡》曰：“日蝕從右傍者，淫女暴為主君；當暴治丘冢，傷害人民，百姓怨。”甘氏曰：“日蝕從傍起，失於令，相當之。”

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs on the right side, it corresponds to the hexagram Zhen, indicating a fire that burns the feudal lords, and there will certainly be an unusual calamity arising. Xi Meng said: When an eclipse occurs on the right side, the responsibility lies with the ministers: if the color turns blue, it signifies the ministerial officials committing evil deeds; if it turns red, it signifies the ministerial officials granting favors without authority; if it turns yellow, it signifies the expulsion of the sovereign; if it turns white, it signifies the ministerial officials using punishments without authority; if it turns black, it signifies the ministers acting independently and wielding power arbitrarily. The Tian Jing said: When an eclipse begins on the right side, it indicates a licentious woman who tyrannically surpasses the sovereign; at that time, there will be extensive construction of tombs, harming the people, and the common people will be resentful. Gan De said: When an eclipse occurs on the side, it indicates failure in the implementation of orders, and the chancellor will bear the responsibility.

《河圖》曰：“日青黑，以傍蝕之，臣之害。”（按洪範《日月變占》曰：“漢武元狩元年五月乙巳晦戶日有蝕之，從傍左，明年丞相公孫弘薨之應）《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕傍者，臣欲作禍之應；殺君亡國，四夷入侵；遠期二十七年，中期二十九月，近期九月。”郗萌曰：“日月蝕，皆為責在妃：青則女疾，眾妾欺君，奪主榮，恣害爭寵，內患；赤則右夫人乘君損主：白則眾妾怨妒：黑則君內消，將絕嗣，卑妾得志，滅君德，失夫人。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕四傍缺，諸侯王有死者，期在三年中。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The Sun appears dark blue and is eaten from the side, which indicates a calamity brought about by a minister. The original commentary notes: The "Hydrological Model" section of the "Book of Documents" states that in the first year of Yuanshou of Emperor Wu of Han, on the last day of the fifth month, a solar eclipse occurred, beginning from the left side. The next year, the Chancellor Gong Sun Hong died, which was its fulfillment. The "Spring and Spirit Symbol" says: A solar eclipse occurring on the side signifies that a minister wishes to rebel and cause chaos, there will be an assassination of the sovereign and the country's destruction, with the four barbarian tribes invading. The distant fulfillment is twenty-seven years, the middle one is twenty-nine months, and the near one is nine months. Xi Meng says: When the Sun or Moon is eclipsed, the responsibility lies with the concubines: if the color is dark blue, it indicates a woman is ill, the many concubines deceive the sovereign, seize the honor of the principal wife, act recklessly to harm her, and cause internal court troubles; if it is red, it indicates the right concubine surpasses the sovereign and harms him; if it is white, it indicates the many concubines are jealous and resentful; if it is black, it indicates the sovereign loses his vitality within the palace, will have no descendants, and the lowly concubine gains power, erasing the sovereign's virtue, and the principal wife loses her position. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Sun is eclipsed and the four sides are damaged, there will be the death of a prince or king, and the fulfillment will occur within three years.

京房《易傳》曰：“諸侯越職征伐，與上分威．則日蝕中分。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕中分，五年其國亡；一曰二年亡。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕，有亡其國者；少半蝕，少半亡：半蝕，半亡。”甘氏曰：“日蝕過半，必有亡國，期一年。”甘氏曰：“日蝕不盡，有失地：一曰強國有逐相。”京氏曰：“日蝕不盡，相有出走者，期八十日。”董仲舒曰：“諸侯不承天子命，自相侵伐，則日蝕三毀三復。”（此仲舒日異對也。）

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: If the feudal lords exceed their proper bounds and act independently, waging war without the Son of Heaven's authority, there will be an eclipse of the sun with the sun's disc split in half. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: If the sun is eclipsed and split in half, the country will perish within five years; another account says it will perish within two years. The same text also says: An eclipse presages the downfall of a state; if less than half of the sun is eclipsed, less than half of the country's territory will be lost; if half of the sun is eclipsed, half of the country's territory will be lost. Gan De says: If more than half of the sun is eclipsed, there will certainly be a national downfall, and the event will occur within a year. Gan De also says: If the sun is eclipsed but not completely, it presages the loss of territory; another account says that a powerful state will expel its prime minister. Jing Fang says: If the sun is eclipsed but not completely, there will be a prime minister who flees, and the event will occur within eighty days. Dong Zhongshu says: If the feudal lords do not obey the Son of Heaven's orders but attack each other, there will be three eclipses of the sun, each followed by three restorations. The original text's marginal note says: This is what Dong Zhongshu said about the variations of the sun in his response to the imperial inquiry.

《河圖》曰：“日蝕盡者，王位也：不盡者，大臣位也；近期三月，遠期三年。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕既，則破陰謀，黜豪傑，備邊輔，工易號戶失天下，外填寇，內填下。”《春秋感精符》曰；“君行無常，公輔不德，夷強狄侵，萬事錯，則日蝕既。”《孝經內記》曰：“日朔蝕既，天絕；日摯濁既，地絕：先晦蝕既，人絕。”石氏曰：“日蝕盡，其國大人亡：不盡，相去。”京房《易傳》曰：“亡師，茲謂不御厥異；日蝕，其蝕既也。”

The Yellow River Chart says: if the sun is completely eclipsed, it should be at the position of the sovereign; if it is partially eclipsed, it should be at the position of the ministers; the near one corresponds to three months, the distant one corresponds to three years. The Spring and Autumn Records of Sensing the Spirit says: when a total solar eclipse occurs, one should expose conspiracies, dismiss powerful ministers who act beyond their authority, and prepare the border defenses and the ministers who assist the sovereign; if one only changes names and disrupts the household registers, one will lose the world, and one must externally pacify the bandits and internally stabilize the people. The Spring and Autumn Records of Sensing the Spirit also says: if the sovereign does not act with regularity, the three ministers do not cultivate virtue, the barbarians are arrogant, the Di people invade, and all affairs are in disorder, then a solar eclipse will occur. The Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety says: if a total solar eclipse occurs on the new moon day, it is the interruption of the heavenly way; if the sun's light becomes turbid and then is totally eclipsed, it is the interruption of the earthly way; if a total solar eclipse occurs before the last day of the month, it is the interruption of the human way. Shi Shen says: when a total solar eclipse occurs, the great person in that region will die; if it is only partially eclipsed, the sovereign and ministers will be separated. Jing Fang's Transmission of the Book of Changes says: losing soldiers and the people, this is called being unable to resist change, and a solar eclipse will completely cover the sun.

京房《易傳》曰：“君臣不通，茲胃亡厥，蝕三既。”京房《易傳》曰：“弒君獲位，茲謂逆厥，蝕既，先風雨，折木，日赤。”京氏曰：“日蝕，地坼。”董仲舒曰：“前事己大，後事將至者又大，則日蝕既。”董仲舒《災異對》曰：“人君自專祿，不封賜功臣，則日蝕既，而黑光反外照。”董仲舒《災異對》曰：“亂臣賊子欲作逆弒君竊位，則日蝕既，先風折樹。”董仲舒《災異對》曰：“人君妒賢嫉能，臣下謀上，則日蝕既：先雨雹，殺走獸。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When the ruler and ministers cannot communicate with each other, this is called the image of loss and destruction, and the sun will be eclipsed three times completely. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" also says: When a minister kills the ruler and takes the throne, this is called the image of great rebellion, and the sun will be completely eclipsed, with storms and strong winds breaking trees beforehand, and the sun appearing red. Jing Fang says: After a solar eclipse, the earth will crack. Dong Zhongshu says: If something significant has already occurred beforehand, and another significant event is about to come, a total solar eclipse will occur. In Dong Zhongshu's "Zaiyi Dui," it says: If the ruler monopolizes titles and rewards, refusing to grant them to meritorious ministers, a total solar eclipse will occur, and black light will radiate outward. The same text also says: If rebellious ministers and villains plot to kill the ruler and seize the throne, a total solar eclipse will occur, with strong winds breaking trees beforehand. The same text also says: If the ruler is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and ministers plot against the ruler, a total solar eclipse will occur, with hail falling and wild animals being killed beforehand.

《洛書》曰：“日蝕盡伐者，謂既也。伐者人君死，子代之；或臣篡殺。不盡者，日虧缺也。”（按洪範《天文日月變占》曰；‘春秋魯襄公二十四年七月甲子朔，日有食之，既，既、盡也，秦晉分也；後十二月，秦景公卒，其弟車自晉復於秦之應也。漢惠帝七年，夏五月丁卯，先晦一日，日有食之，既，既、盡也，亦周秦分野，陰匿始起而犯盛，其年八月，惠帝崩。呂后七年春，正月已丑晦，日有食之，既，既、盡也，在營室九度，為宮室，中呂后曰此為我也。

The Luo Writing says: When the sunlight is completely obscured, it is called "ji," meaning a total eclipse. When "ji" occurs, the ruler dies and is succeeded by his son; or the ruler is killed by a minister who seizes power. If the eclipse does not completely obscure the sun, it is merely a deficiency in the sun's appearance. A note from the original text: The Hongfan section of the Astronomical Records on Changes of the Sun and Moon says that in the twenty-fourth year of Duke Xiang of Lu's reign in Spring and Autumn, on the first day of the month, a solar eclipse occurred and it was a "ji" eclipse. "Ji" means complete. The region affected was that of Qin and Jin. Later, in the twelfth month, King Jinggong of Qin died, and his younger brother Gongzi Chen returned to Qin from Jin, which was the fulfillment of the prediction. In the seventh year of Emperor Hui of Han's reign, in the fifth month of summer, on the day before the last day of the month, a solar eclipse occurred, also a "ji" eclipse, and the region affected was the same as that of Zhou and Qin. The hidden yin energy began to rise and could attack the strong yang energy. In the eighth month of that year, Emperor Hui died. In the seventh year of Empress Lu's reign, in the first month of spring, on the last day of the month, a solar eclipse occurred, again a total eclipse, located at the ninth degree of the Encampment Mansion. The Encampment Mansion governs palaces and buildings, so Empress Lu said this was a sign that it would befall her.

明年，呂后崩，應也。）甘氏曰：“日蝕盡，天下大凶，有亡國：一日必更王，入主死：近期二年中不盡，有失地者中”京房《易傳》曰：“君誅殺失理，臣下有叛心，則日蝕盡而光散。”又曰：“君臣見災不改行，國將亡，則日蝕三盡也。”京房《妖占》曰：“日蝕盡，臣欲殺主：一曰歲有夷王起：一曰有喪。”（按韋昭《洞紀》曰：周桓王十一年七月日食既，十三年壬辰陳桓公鮑卒，弟陀殺兄子代立也。）京房《災異對》曰：“日蝕盡，天光露者，亡其邑。”

In the second year, after the death of Lady Lu Hou, this prediction came true. Gan De said: a total solar eclipse indicates great calamity across the land, and the state will perish; another interpretation is that there will certainly be a change of ruler, the monarch will die, and the event will occur within two years; if the eclipse is not complete, there will be loss of territory. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" said: if the ruler kills unjustly, ministers will develop rebellious hearts, and this will result in a total solar eclipse with the light completely disappearing. It also said: if the king and ministers still do not change their behavior upon seeing portents, the country will perish, and there will be three total solar eclipses. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" said: a total solar eclipse indicates that ministers wish to kill the ruler; another interpretation is that a king of the barbarian tribes will rise in that year; another is that there will be mourning. The original text's note: Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji" said that in the seventh month of the eleventh year of King Huan of Zhou, there was a total solar eclipse. In the thirteenth year of the Renchen (Renchen) era, Chen Huan Gong Bao died, and his younger brother Chen Tu killed the son of the elder brother to take his place. Jing Fang's "Zaiyi Dui" said: if a total solar eclipse occurs and the sky light comes from outside, it indicates the loss of a city.

京氏曰：“日蝕盡，日官不見直日者，其國有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕盡光，此謂帝之殃；三年之間，有國必亡。”

Jing Fang said: When there is a total solar eclipse, if the official in charge of the heavens cannot see the sun that is in charge at that time, the country corresponding to that region will have mourning events. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the sun is completely eclipsed, this is called the calamity of the emperor; within three years, there must be a country that will perish.

京房《易傳》曰：“凡日蝕，其質赤黃黑而漸之者，明臣侵君也；日質赤黃而黑貫其中者，此人君無威，勢不行，為臣下所輕；故臣謀欲逐其君，居其劇也；黃，尚有中和之色也；故其咎也必覺，謀不行，君誅臣。當誅而不誅，則君必失其位。”京氏《易傳》曰：“日蝕，赤質而黑漸之者，此人君誅眾失理，民持兵去之；其咎欲殺。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: Whenever there is an eclipse of the sun, if the sun's original color, which is red and yellow, is gradually darkened by black clouds, it clearly indicates that ministers are infringing upon the sovereign. If the sun is red and yellow but has black clouds passing through its body, this signifies that the sovereign lacks authority, his power cannot be exerted, and he is looked down upon by his ministers. Therefore, the ministers plot to expel the sovereign and take his position. However, since the yellow color still remains, there is still a moderate and harmonious energy, so this misfortune will certainly be detected, and the plot will not succeed, allowing the sovereign to kill the rebellious ministers. If the sovereign does not kill them when he should, he will certainly lose his position. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When there is a solar eclipse, if the sun appears red and is gradually darkened by black clouds, this indicates that the sovereign is unjust in killing many people, and the people will hold weapons and abandon him. The misfortune lies in the sovereign's excessive killing.

京氏《易傳》曰：“日蝕，赤質青黑漸之者，為三公誅眾失理，民亦持兵去，順受命，徵無道（闕××××××××）黑而貫其中，臣欲殺其君；不改，期在九年，必殺矣。”京房《易傳》曰：“臣有伏兵，將欲殺其君者，日變白；咎十日而去，則日蝕矣。白青者弱，赤者無知也；強臣所緣上下必由此矣。黃赤者，非臣所緣為也。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When an eclipse occurs, if the sun appears red and is gradually stained by dark black clouds, it indicates that the three high officials are unjustly punishing the people, and the common people will take up arms and leave, following the mandate of heaven to attack the tyrant. The original text here is missing eight characters. If the dark clouds pass through the sun, it indicates that a minister intends to kill the sovereign. If he does not repent, the event will occur within nine years, and he will certainly succeed in assassinating the sovereign. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When a minister has hidden troops and is about to kill the sovereign, the sun will turn white. If this omen lasts more than ten days without disappearing, an eclipse will occur. If the sun appears white or blue, it indicates a weak sovereign; if it appears red, it indicates a foolish and ignorant sovereign. Strong ministers can then connect with both inside and outside, and collude between upper and lower ranks, which will certainly result from this. As for when the sun appears yellowish-red, it is not something that ministers can take advantage of to cause trouble.

京氏曰：“日蝕，日光明，先青赤白黑而蝕，蝕黑貫白中，日明；此聖德之臣，行兵誅伐小人左右不義之臣，擅誅小人，天子所謂無命而征，與弒君同之蝕也；後五年殺。”京氏《易傳》曰：“酒無節，茲謂荒厥；蝕乍青、乍黑、乍赤、乍白。”京氏曰：“日青並蝕，惟命是爭，誅。”京氏曰：“日赤並蝕、自殺。”京氏曰：“日黃並蝕，其下得土。”

Jing Fang said: When the sun is eclipsed, the sunlight is originally bright. First it turns through several colors, such as blue, red, white, and black, then the eclipse occurs. The place where the sun is eaten has black vapor passing through the white, yet the sun itself remains bright. This indicates that a virtuous minister goes to war to punish the petty men and unrighteous ministers in the court. If he acts without the king's orders, it is considered as if he were waging war without the king's command, and it is as serious as弑君. Therefore, there is such an eclipse. After five years, he will be killed. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: Drinking without restraint is called the fault of excess and indulgence. During an eclipse, the colors of the sun will suddenly turn blue, black, red, and white. Jing Fang said: If the sun turns blue and is eclipsed at the same time, it indicates that the ministers below are competing for the authority of the ruler and will be punished. Jing Fang said: If the sun turns red and is eclipsed at the same time, it indicates that someone will commit suicide. Jing Fang said: If the sun turns yellow and is eclipsed at the same time, it indicates that the territory under its region will be obtained.

京氏曰：“日赤並蝕、自殺。”京氏曰：“日黃並蝕，其下得土。”京氏曰：“日黑並蝕、自殺。”《易傳》曰：“諸侯逆叛，更立法度，則蝕；失光蒤蒤，月形見也。”

Jing Fang, a Yixiaologist of the Western Han dynasty, said: When the Sun first shows a red color and then an eclipse occurs, it indicates that someone will commit suicide. Jing Fang also said: When the Sun first shows a yellow color and then an eclipse occurs, the region under the Sun's illumination will gain new territory. Jing Fang further said: When the Sun first shows a black color and then an eclipse occurs, it indicates that someone will commit suicide. The "Yixuan" (here referring to divination texts attributed to Jing Fang's school) says: If princes rebel and establish their own laws and regulations, Heaven will warn them through an eclipse. At this time, the sunlight is dim and unclear, with the moon's outline faintly visible covering the Sun.

京房《妖占》曰：“以甲乙有二珥而蝕，東西南北有白雲沖之，天下有兵。”京氏曰：“日以甲乙有四珥而蝕，有白雲沖出四角，青雲交貫中央，天下有兵。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以丙丁二珥而蝕，有黑雲沖出東南西北，天下有兵。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以丙丁有四珥而蝕，下有黑雲沖出，天下有大水。”

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On Jia day and Yi day, the Star of brightness and prestige has two ear-shaped short lights on both sides, which are called "Er," and at the same time a solar eclipse occurs, with white clouds rising straight towards the sun from the east, west, south, and north, indicating that military conflicts will arise throughout the realm. Jing Fang says: On Jia day and Yi day, the Star of brightness and prestige has four "Er" lights around it and a solar eclipse occurs, with white clouds emerging from the four corners, and blue clouds crossing through the center of the sun, indicating that military conflicts will arise throughout the realm. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On Bing day and Ding day, the Star of brightness and prestige has two "Er" lights on both sides and a solar eclipse occurs, with black clouds emerging from the southeast, northwest, and all four directions, indicating that military conflicts will arise throughout the realm. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On Bing day and Ding day, the Star of brightness and prestige has four "Er" lights around it and a solar eclipse occurs, with black clouds emerging from below the sun, indicating that a great flood will occur.

京房《妖占》曰：“日以戊己有二珥而蝕，上有青雲沖出東南西北，人主有喪。”京房《妖占》曰：“日以戊己有四珥而蝕，有青雲沖，天下兵行。”京房《妖占》曰：“日以庚辛二珥而蝕從下始，又有赤雲沖出東南西北，三邑兵作。”京氏《易占》曰：“日以庚辛有四珥而蝕從上始，有赤雲出西方，天下有亂王。”

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On Wu and Ji days, the Star of brightness and prestige has two "er" emerging on both sides and an eclipse occurs, with green clouds spreading out to the four directions of southeast, northwest, and so on, indicating that the ruler's family will have mourning. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On Wu and Ji days, the Star of brightness and prestige has four "er" surrounding it and an eclipse occurs, with green clouds directly rushing towards the sun, indicating that there will be military movements across the land. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhan" says: On Geng and Xin days, the Star of brightness and prestige has two "er" emerging on both sides, and the eclipse begins from the lower edge of the sun, with red clouds spreading out to the four directions of southeast, northwest, and so on, indicating that three cities will simultaneously rise in rebellion. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhan" says: On Geng and Xin days, the Star of brightness and prestige has four "er" surrounding it, and the eclipse begins from the upper edge of the sun, with red clouds appearing in the west, indicating that there will be a person who rebels and claims kingship across the land.

京氏《妖占》曰：“日以庚辛有四珥而蝕從上始，有赤雲出西方，天下有亂王。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以壬癸四珥而蝕，有黃雲沖出，天子亡。”京氏曰：“日四珥，蝕從上而下，天子起兵；從下面上，天子有大喪。”京氏曰：“日以春二珥而蝕從下始，大半邑有死主。”京房《妖占》曰：“日以春三珥而蝕從上始，大半天下邑有小兵，重以喪。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以春四珥而蝕從下始，大半天下凶。”

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On days of Geng and Xin, the Sun has four "er" formations around it, and an eclipse begins from the upper edge of the Sun's disk, with red clouds appearing in the west, indicating that there will be a person who rebels and claims kingship. (This passage is identical to the previous one; the original text includes both "Yi Zhan" and "Yao Zhan" sources, hence the repetition.) Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: On days of Ren and Gui, the Sun has four "er" formations around it and an eclipse occurs, with yellow clouds emerging, indicating the death of the Son of Heaven. Jing Fang says: When the Sun has four "er" formations around it and an eclipse begins from the upper edge of the Sun's disk, it indicates the Son of Heaven will mobilize troops; if the eclipse begins from the lower edge and moves upward, it indicates a great mourning in the royal family. Jing Fang says: In spring, when the Sun has two "er" formations on either side, and an eclipse begins from the lower edge, it indicates that half of the cities will lose their rulers. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: In spring, when the Sun has three "er" formations around it, and an eclipse begins from the upper edge, it indicates that half of the cities across the land will experience minor military conflicts, accompanied by mourning. Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: In spring, when the Sun has four "er" formations around it, and an eclipse begins from the lower edge, it indicates that half of the land will suffer from calamity.

《河圖》曰：“日蝕，而交暈貫日中；兩軍爭，後者勝，將死之。”《荊州占》曰：“日蝕，其所從為側，日蝕從中起而暈，其分必亡國。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以春暈，三珥，而蝕從上始，天下有兵。”京氏《妖占》曰：“日以春暈，四珥，而蝕從下始，天下有大喪。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When an eclipse occurs, if there are two layers of halos crossing through the sun's disk, it indicates two armies fighting, with the one that attacks first losing and the one that attacks later winning. The Jingzhou Divination says: To predict an eclipse, observe which side it begins to wane from; that side corresponds to the affected direction. If the eclipse starts from the center of the sun's disk and is surrounded by halos, the corresponding region will surely suffer a national collapse. Jing Fang's Divination of Portents says: If in spring the sun produces a halo and has three 'ears', and the eclipse begins from the upper edge, it indicates that the whole world will have military conflicts. Jing Fang's Divination of Portents says: If in spring the sun produces a halo and has four 'ears', and the eclipse begins from the lower edge, it indicates that the whole world will experience great mourning.

《洛書》曰：“日蝕，下有氣如彗星，諸侯失國，天子有憂，不改，不出十二年。”甘氏曰：“日蝕，有如虹在日上者，比近臣謀上，政不明不能見，不出五年。”京氏曰：“日蝕，轉為五色而蝕，白虹見日傍，光掩掩；此嫡讓庶之蝕也，後三年尊坐無處。”

The Luo Writing says: When an eclipse occurs, a cloud beneath the sun takes the shape of a comet with a long tail, indicating that the feudal lords will lose their states and the Son of Heaven will have worries in his heart; if they do not change their ways and reform their governance, the fulfillment of this omen will not occur within twelve years. Gan De, a celestial observer from the State of Qi during the Warring States period, said: When an eclipse occurs, a rainbow-like cloud appears above the sun, which is a sign that a close minister is forming factions to plot against the sovereign. The ruler's affairs will be obscured and he will not perceive this conspiracy; the fulfillment of this omen will not occur within five years. Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, the sun successively displays five colors—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—before being eclipsed, with a white rainbow appearing beside the sun, and the sunlight fluctuating between brightness and darkness. This is an eclipse indicating that the legitimate son is forced to yield the throne to a庶son. Three years later, the person sitting in the position of honor will have nowhere to take refuge.

京氏曰：“日蝕，有雲如坐人於上者，主安居、下臣安。”《洛書》曰：“日蝕，有黃雲，中有伏龍，周室以興，文王受命。”《洛書》曰：“日蝕，而傍有白虎守之，大臣謀死其君，主不出三月；一曰三年。”

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, a cloud appears above the sun, shaped like a person sitting upright, indicating the sovereign remains in his position and the ministers below each hold their proper roles. The Luo Writing says: When an eclipse occurs, yellow clouds appear, with a coiled dragon shape hidden within them, which is a good omen that the Zhou dynasty will rise and King Wen of Zhou will receive the Mandate of Heaven. The Luo Writing also says: When an eclipse occurs, a cloud shaped like a White Tiger appears beside the sun, indicating ministers plotting to kill their sovereign; this omen will come to pass within three months; another account says within three years.

石氏曰：“日蝕、如白虎守日者，人君九族有伏，謀亂君政以自成；不救，不出五年，當有謀臣。”甘氏曰：“日蝕，有如白兔守日者，民當謀舉兵，威亂三州；其先見變不改，不出其年，兵行。”京氏曰：“日蝕，有如兔守日，政令不由君；或君不用賢，澤不下施；則高岸為谷，深谷為陵；發於沖。”

The astronomer Shi Shen of the State of Wei in the Warring States period said: When an eclipse occurs, if there is a form resembling a White Tiger's aura surrounding the sun, it indicates that there is a hidden danger within the ruler's nine clans, and someone is plotting to disrupt the state's governance for their own benefit. If no measures are taken to appease the heavens and reform governance, the event of a minister plotting against the state will occur within no more than five years. Gan De said: When an eclipse occurs, if there is a form resembling a rabbit's aura surrounding the sun, it signifies that the people will plot to raise an army, causing disturbances in three states. If such an omen was previously observed but no changes were made, then warfare will occur within the same year. Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, if there is a form resembling a rabbit's aura surrounding the sun, it indicates that the ruler's decrees are not issued by the ruler himself; or that the ruler refuses to appoint virtuous officials, and his grace does not reach the people. Thus, high cliffs will collapse into deep valleys, and deep valleys will become hills, causing the heavens and earth to change their forms. The fulfillment of this omen will occur in the direction directly opposite to where the eclipse is observed.

石氏曰：“日蝕，有兔守之，民為亂，臣逆者；不出其年分，兵起。”甘氏曰：“日蝕，有如君鳥；《太公兵法》曰：‘兩鳥夾日，名為天雞守日，人君妻家謀奪君處，先數視君動靜，欲行其志；天先見變，戒之。’”《天鏡》曰：“日蝕，有鳥夾之，君當司謀防之急。”

Shi Shen said: When an eclipse occurs, if there is a rabbit-shaped vapor guarding the sun, it indicates that the common people will rebel and ministers will betray the ruler; it will not occur within this year or within this region, and war will break out. Gan De said: When an eclipse occurs, if there is a large bird-shaped vapor appearing; The "Tao Gong Bing Fa" says: "Two clusters of bird-shaped clouds appear on both sides of the sun, this is called 'Tian Ji Shou Ri', indicating that the ruler's wife's family plots to seize the throne. They first repeatedly observe the ruler's movements, intending to realize their ambitions; Heaven reveals this anomaly in advance, to warn the ruler to be cautious." The "Tian Jing" says: When an eclipse occurs, if there are bird-shaped vapors on both sides of the sun, the ruler should quickly detect this conspiracy and take precautions.

京房《易傳》曰：“內臣外向，茲謂背厥蝕；蝕已巳且而地中鳴。”京氏曰：“日蝕盛中時，黑乃之從內（闕××××××）地中鳴；此京師諸侯叛，群下與外土諸侯交，亂法度之蝕；後人君亡國，臣伏其殃。”京氏曰：“日蝕，先地中鳴乃蝕，蝕左右居雲中，四方無雲，先大風三日；此宰相專，公謀反之蝕也。後三年，邪人謀反。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: ministers within the court have their hearts turned toward the outer vassals, which is called "back," thus causing an eclipse of the sun; after the eclipse, soon there will be a sound coming from beneath the earth. Jing Fang says: when the sun is eclipsed at noon when the sunlight is at its strongest, the black shadow arises from within the sun's disk (the original text here is missing six characters), and a sound comes from beneath the earth; this is an eclipse caused by the vassals in the capital plotting rebellion, the ministers below conspiring with the vassals outside, and disturbing the state's laws and regulations; after this, the king will lose the state, and the ministers will also suffer this calamity. Jing Fang says: when the sun is eclipsed, first there is a sound from beneath the earth, then the eclipse occurs, and the left and right sides of the eclipse are covered by clouds, while the four directions have no clouds, and three days before the eclipse there was a strong wind; this is an eclipse caused by the chancellor wielding exclusive power and the Three Dukes plotting rebellion. Three years later, the wicked people will plot rebellion.

京房《易傳》：“臣欲居主位，茲謂不和，厥蝕白青，四方赤，巳蝕地震。”京房《易傳》曰：“人君荒酒無節，則日蝕乍青、乍黑、乍赤，明日大雨，發蒙而寒；地震動，宮中有水。”京氏曰：“日蝕，後氛氛不解，地必震，不過旬中。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When a subject desires to take the position of the sovereign, this is called "inharmony," and the omen is that during an eclipse, the sunlight turns white and blue, and the sky around the horizon turns red. After the eclipse, an earthquake follows. Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When the sovereign becomes addicted to drinking and has no restraint, it will bring about an eclipse. The sunlight alternates between blue, black, and red. On the next day, there is heavy rain, followed by misty weather and a sudden cold, while the earth shakes and water enters the palace. Jing Fang says: If after an eclipse, the gloomy weather does not dissipate, there will certainly be an earthquake, no more than ten days later.

京氏曰：“諸侯更制，茲謂叛；厥蝕三蝕三復，巳而風，地動。”京氏曰：“專制之蝕，光散左右，寇，三蝕三復，巳而風，明日地必動，是謂諸侯傳制之變也；後九年，殺。”京氏曰：“日蝕，地震；一日震裂，日白若中分，日（闕×××）然見而寒乃蝕；左右發四正，此方伯徵誅過職，威權上侵之蝕，二年殺。”

Jing Fang said: When the feudal lords擅自 alter the court's system, this is called 'rebellion'; its verification is that the sun wanes three times and then regains its brightness three times, after the eclipse there is wind, followed by an earthquake. Jing Fang said: For an eclipse caused by exclusive power and usurpation, the sunlight spreads out to the left and right, indicating there will be bandits and chaos. The sun wanes three times and then regains its brightness three times, after the eclipse there is wind, and on the next day there will certainly be an earthquake, this is called the variation of feudal lords secretly spreading orders; nine years later, there will be a calamity of killing. Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs along with an earthquake; one day the earth cracks open, the sunlight turns white, as if split in two down the middle, the sun (the original text is missing three characters) suddenly appears and the weather turns cold, then the eclipse occurs; the sun's light spreads out to the four cardinal directions of southeast, northwest, this is the eclipse caused by the feudal lords of the rank of the regional governors exceeding their authority and infringing upon the sovereign's authority, within two years there will be a calamity of killing.

京房《易傳》曰：“同姓上侵，茲謂誣君厥蝕；四方有雲，中央無雲，其日大風。”京氏曰：“親伐之蝕，日體而寒時明，是不和，自舉兵。”京氏曰：“日蝕其質黃者，陽覺悟也；寒後九十日，必有誅者。”京氏曰：“日食巳而寒，飢，陰疾，多喪。”

Jing Fang's commentary on the Book of Changes says: when a relative of the same surname, a minister of the royal family, violates the sovereign, this is called "wu jun" (false accusation against the sovereign), and this leads to an eclipse of the sun. The omen is that there are clouds around, but the center of the sun is clear and cloudless, and there is also a strong wind on that day. Jing Fang says: an eclipse caused by conflict among relatives indicates that the sun's light is cold and appears bright and dark alternately, which is an omen of discord among close relatives, leading to military action by the relatives themselves. Jing Fang says: when the sun is eclipsed and the sun's true color turns yellow, it indicates that the yang energy can still awaken itself; after the weather turns cold, ninety days later, there will certainly be someone executed. Jing Fang says: after the sun is eclipsed and the weather turns cold, it indicates famine and the prevalence of damp diseases, with many deaths and funerals.

京氏曰：“日大寒，飢病非一處，蝕陽下平旦，蝕發於（闕××）對蝕從外，後中國，大飢；盜賊群君，夷狄動心，後九年諸侯亂。（闕×××）京氏曰：“日蝕，白氣先出，半天乃蝕，五色至大寒，黑貫日，有旋風，（闕××××××××××××××××××）

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, the weather becomes unusually cold, and famine and plague do not occur in only one place; the eclipse begins at the lower edge of the sun, which belongs to yang, and occurs at the time of pingdang, when the sky is just beginning to brighten. The eclipse appears at the position of (the original text is missing two characters here), and the opposite direction begins to be eroded from the outer edge. After this, there was a great famine in the central plains; bandits gathered and elected a leader, and the surrounding barbarian tribes also developed covetous intentions. Nine years later, the feudal lords rebelled. (The original text is missing three characters here.) Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, white clouds first rise, spreading across half the sky before the eclipse begins. The sun displays five colors, and the weather becomes extremely cold. There is also black mist crossing the sun, and whirlwinds arise, (the original text is missing eighteen characters here).

京氏曰：“日食先炎風三日，乃食；蝕左右四方並有雲，濁，中央無雲，其日大寒，發於風；此同姓諸侯侵蝕也，後九年，殺。”京氏《易傳》曰：“宰相大臣，因專權日蝕，先大風，日食時，日居雲中，四方無雲也。（闕××××××）京氏曰：“日食，焱風雨七日，折木乃蝕既，此臣剝其君之蝕也；五年，五穀化為蟲。”

Jing Fang said: Before an eclipse occurs, there are three days of hot winds, then the eclipse happens; during the eclipse, the sun's left and right and all four directions have clouds, the clouds are turbid, but there are no clouds in the center, and that day is extremely cold, which corresponds to the wind; this is an eclipse caused by a same-surname feudal lord encroaching upon the king's authority, and after nine years there will be killings. Jing Fang's "Yi Transmission" says: ministers and high officials who seize power will bring about an eclipse; before the eclipse, there is a strong wind, and during the eclipse, the sun is in the clouds, but the four directions have no clouds. (The original text here is missing six characters.) Jing Fang said: Before an eclipse, there is a storm with strong winds and heavy rain for seven consecutive days, breaking trees, then a total solar eclipse occurs; this is an eclipse caused by a minister seizing the power of his sovereign; within five years, all five grains will be infested and destroyed.

京氏曰：“日蝕、為亂、為兵；巳蝕而風，是謂兵起；已蝕而雨，是為分殃；已蝕而霧，群豪聚；已蝕而飛烏不復其鄉。”京氏曰：“君疾善下謀下，茲謂亂；厥蝕既、先雨雹、殺走獸；赤質黃貫其中，此君不肯用賢，而任小人政教，君必逐。”京氏曰：“縱慾，茲謂不明，厥蝕先大雨三日，雨降而寒，既蝕。”京氏曰：“日蝕而雷，國亡。”

Jing Fang said: solar eclipses indicate calamity and warfare; if wind arises after the eclipse, this is called warfare breaking out; if rain follows the eclipse, this signifies calamity spreading throughout the land; if mist arises after the eclipse, this indicates powerful men gathering in groups; if flying birds do not return to their old nests after the eclipse, this is a sign of disorder. Jing Fang said: when the ruler dislikes virtuous men and favors scheming ministers, this is called 'chaos'; its verification is a total solar eclipse, preceded by falling hail and killing wild animals; the sun's natural red color is overshadowed by a yellow cloud crossing the center, which signifies the ruler refusing to employ virtuous men and entrusting government affairs to petty men, and the ruler will surely be expelled. Jing Fang said: when thunder occurs during a solar eclipse, this indicates the state's downfall.

京氏曰：“日蝕，星墜復上，此賦銂重數，下竭之蝕；九年殺。（闕×××××××××××）京房《易傳》曰：“人君貪殘重賦，日蝕而星墜前而下也。”

Jing Fang said: When an eclipse occurs, if a star falls down and then rises again, this is caused by heavy taxation, repeated levies, and exhausting the people's strength; there will be calamity involving killings within nine years. (The original text here is missing eleven characters.) Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: If a ruler is greedy and cruel, and imposes heavy levies, an eclipse will occur, and a star will fall before the sun and descend.

韋昭《洞紀》曰：“周（闕×××）年日蝕盡晦（闕××××）年星又晝見（闕×××）年周貞定王崩，哀王時為太子，立三月，為弟叔殺之。叔自立為思王，五月後少為弟嵬復弒之，嵬立，是為考王。”

Wei Zhao, a historian of the Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period, wrote in "Dong Ji" that during the Zhou dynasty, in a certain year there was an eclipse of the sun, with the sunlight completely swallowed up and the sky darkened as if it were night; in another year, a star appeared during the day; in another year, King Zhending of Zhou died, and Prince Ai was the crown prince at that time. He ascended the throne only three months before being killed by his younger brother Shu. Shu then established himself as King Sisi, but only five months later he was killed by his younger brother Wei. Wei then took the throne, which became King Kaowang of Zhou.

《洛書》曰：“日月俱蝕，有亡國；月先即陰國當之，日先即陽國當之，蝕陽男主受之；蝕陰女主受之。”魏氏曰：“日月俱蝕，國亡一月；三蝕，主亡。”

The Luo Writing says: When the sun and moon are simultaneously eclipsed, it indicates the downfall of a state. If the moon is eclipsed first, it is the state associated with yin that will suffer; if the sun is eclipsed first, it is the state associated with yang that will suffer. If the eclipse occurs on the yang side of the sun, it will be the male ruler who suffers; if it occurs on the yin side of the sun, it will be the female ruler who suffers. The Wei school (referring to star diviners of the Cao Wei dynasty) says: When the sun and moon are simultaneously eclipsed, a state will fall within a month. If there are three consecutive eclipses, the ruler will die.

《春秋左氏傳》曰：魯昭公二十一年秋七月壬午朔，日有蝕之，公問梓慎曰：“是何物也？禍福何也？”對曰：“二至二分，日有蝕之，不為災。日月之行也，分同道也，至相過也，其他月則為災，陽不克也；故常為水。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: Left Transmission records that on the ninth day of the seventh month in the twenty-first year of Duke Zhao of Lu, which was a new moon day, an eclipse of the sun occurred. Duke Zhao asked the scholar Zizhen, "What does this omen signify? Does it indicate misfortune or blessing?" Zizhen replied, "An eclipse occurring during the solstices or equinoxes is not considered an omen of calamity. This is because during the equinoxes, the sun and moon are aligned along the same path, and during the solstices, they pass each other. If an eclipse occurs in any other month, it is considered an omen of disaster, indicating that the yang energy is unable to overcome the yin energy, and it often results in floods."

甘氏曰：“日者，人主之象，故王者服道：不道施德；不德日為之變。見道不明，德薄日為之無光，無德日乃盡蝕”“春蝕，大凶；又曰：國有女喪；夏蝕無年，又曰諸候王多死者；秋蝕，有兵戰勝；又曰主死，冬蝕有喪；一曰相死。”

Gan De said: The Sun represents the sovereign, so the ruler should abide by the heavenly way. If he does not conform to the way, he should quickly implement virtue. If he does not cultivate virtue, the Sun will show anomalies. If he does not understand the way and has shallow virtue, the Sun will lose its brightness. If he has no virtue at all, the Sun will be entirely devoured. He also said: If an eclipse occurs in spring, it is a great calamity; another interpretation says there is mourning for a woman in the country. If an eclipse occurs in summer, there will be no harvest for the whole year; another interpretation says many princes and kings will die. If an eclipse occurs in autumn, there will be military action but victory will be achieved; another interpretation says the sovereign will die. If an eclipse occurs in winter, there will be mourning; another interpretation says the prime minister will die.

甘氏曰：“春丙丁，夏庚辛，秋壬癸，冬甲乙日蝕者，皆相死；諸蝕三日，有雨解之。”甘氏曰：“春以庚辛，夏壬癸，秋丙丁，冬戊己日蝕，皆臣弒君也；一曰：以德令除咎。”京氏曰：“日冬蝕，相死；不即有逐。”《荊州占》曰：“日夏蝕，陽為南國，陰為北國，是為禍國。”

Gan De said: On days of Bing and Ding in spring, on days of Geng and Xin in summer, on days of Ren and Gui in autumn, and on days of Jia and Yi in winter, if an eclipse occurs, it indicates the death of the prime minister; in all such cases, if it rains within three days, the calamity can be averted. Gan De also said: On days of Geng and Xin in spring, on days of Ren and Gui in summer, on days of Bing and Ding in autumn, and on days of Wu and Ji in winter, if an eclipse occurs, it indicates that ministers will kill the sovereign; another interpretation suggests that the calamity can be eliminated by issuing edicts promoting virtue. Jing Fang said: If an eclipse occurs in winter, it indicates the death of the prime minister; otherwise, someone will be exiled. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: If an eclipse occurs in summer, the yang position of the sun corresponds to the southern state, and the yin position corresponds to the northern state, which is an omen of calamity for the country.

京房《易傳》曰：“正月日蝕，大臣出走，不然大臣一人死。”石氏曰：“正月日蝕，不見光，人多疾。”陳卓曰：“正月日蝕，齊大凶，五穀貴。”京房《易傳》曰：“二月日蝕，人主夫人死，不然大旱。”石氏曰：“二月日蝕，不見光，人多喪。”陳卓曰：“二月日蝕，魯大凶，豆貴、牛死。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Transmission" says: If an eclipse occurs in the first lunar month, it indicates that a high official will flee or die, otherwise one high official will die.

甘氏曰：“甲乙日蝕，東夷侵；丙丁日蝕，南夷侵。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“甲子日蝕，有兵，狄強起。”京氏曰：“甲子日蝕，北夷欲殺中臣，有謀；不者大水，在東方。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“乙丑日蝕，大旱，大夫執綱。”京房曰：“乙丑日蝕，諸侯之臣欲弒其君，在西北，兵行不勝，後有小兵，五穀頗蟲傷。”

Gan De said: If an eclipse occurs on a Jia day or a Yi day, it indicates an invasion by the Eastern夷; if an eclipse occurs on a Bing day or a Ding day, it indicates an invasion by the Southern夷.

《黃帝占》曰：“日入角而蝕，將吏有憂，國門四闢，其邦凶。”甘氏曰：“日在角亢而蝕，戒之在於耕田之臣。”京氏曰：“日蝕角中，其國不安；一曰貴臣有憂；一曰主農官憂。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕亢中、其邦君有憂。”石氏曰：“日蝕亢中，其謀在朝廷之臣有罪者。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Star of brightness and prestige reaches the Horn mansion, an eclipse occurs, indicating that generals and officials will have troubles, the capital's four gates will be left unguarded, and the state will face calamity. Gan De says: When an eclipse occurs between the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion, the one to be cautious about is the minister responsible for agriculture. Jing Fang says: When an eclipse occurs in the Horn mansion, the country will not be at peace; one interpretation suggests that a noble official will have worries; another suggests that the official in charge of farming will have worries. The Spring and Spirit Symbol says: When an eclipse occurs in the Neck mansion, the ruler of the state will have worries. Shi Shen says: When an eclipse occurs in the Neck mansion, plots will emerge among officials in the court who are guilty of wrongdoing.

《黃帝占》曰：“日月蝕氐中，天子疾崩。”石氏曰：“日蝕氐中，卿相讒諛，人君滅無辜。”甘氏曰：“日在氐房而蝕，戒之在三公、九卿、大夫，且有相譖誤主上，使過刑殺不辜者。”甘氏曰：“蝕氐中，大官惡之；一曰右宮惡之；王者復以赦除之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the sun and moon are in the Root mansion and undergo eclipse, it indicates the emperor will fall ill and die. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the Root mansion, it signifies that ministers will slander and flatter, leading the ruler to wrongly kill the innocent. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs between the Root mansion and the Room mansion, it is a warning for the Three Dukes, the Nine Ministers, and the scholars. There will be mutual slander and misleading the sovereign, causing him to wrongly punish the innocent. Gan De also says: If an eclipse occurs in the Root mansion, it is unfavorable for high officials; some say it is unfavorable for the right palace. The king may issue another amnesty decree to eliminate this calamity.

《雒書說徵示》曰：“淫色信讒，日以蝕房、參。”石氏曰：“日入房而蝕，王者憂昏亂，大臣專權，必有憂病。”郗萌曰：“日在房心則蝕，公卿大夫有黜者。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日在心而蝕，兵喪並起。”甘氏曰：“日在心而蝕，王者臣下相疑，不相信也。”

The Luo Shu Shuo Zheng Shi says: If a ruler is addicted to women and believes in slander, the Sun will be eclipsed at the position of the Room Mansion and the Three Stars Mansion. Shi Shen says: When the Sun enters the Room Mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates the king will be anxious about state affairs, confused, and ministers will seize power, the king will surely suffer worry and illness. The Han dynasty astrologer Xi Meng says: When the Sun is at the position of the Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion and an eclipse occurs, there will be someone among the officials and ministers who will be dismissed. The Chūnqiū Gǎnjīngfú says: When the Sun is at the Heart Mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates war and mourning will happen together. Gan De says: When the Sun is at the Heart Mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates the king and ministers will suspect each other and be unable to trust one another.

甘氏曰：“日入心而蝕，政令失儀，禮度失繩，則為變甚；一曰君臣不相信，有疑惑。”《海中占》曰：“日蝕心度，兵喪併發，王者以赦除咎。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕尾箕中，尊后有憂。”甘氏曰：“日在尾箕而蝕，將有疾風、飛車、發屋、折木，戒之於出入。”

Gan De said: When the Sun enters the Heart Mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates that the government's decrees lose their proper conduct and the rites lose their standards, making this change particularly severe; another view is that the ruler and ministers do not trust each other and harbor doubts. The "Sea Divination" says: When an eclipse occurs in the degree of the Heart Mansion, it signifies that military affairs and funerals will both break out, and the king should issue an amnesty decree to eliminate the calamity. The "Spring and Auspicious Spirits Classic" says: When an eclipse occurs in the Tail Mansion or the Winnowing Basket Mansion, it indicates that the esteemed empress will have worries. Gan De said: When the Sun is in the Tail Mansion or the Winnowing Basket Mansion and an eclipse occurs, there will be a fierce wind that lifts vehicles into the air, tears off roofs, and breaks trees; one must be especially cautious during movement and rest.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕入斗，將相有憂，其國飢凶。一曰兵大起。”甘氏曰：“日入斗度而蝕，其國反叛兵起。”甘氏曰：“日在牛而蝕，戒之在右夫人侄婦，且在祠禮求幸於主者。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕須女，邦有女主憂，天下女工不為。”甘氏曰：“日在須女而蝕，戒之宮中，且有使巫祝禱祀以求貴幸者，戒之在於巫祝。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Book of Spiritual Signs says: When the Star of brightness and prestige enters the Southern Dipper and an eclipse occurs, it indicates that ministers and high officials will suffer calamities, and the country will face famine and disaster; another interpretation suggests there will be a large-scale military campaign. Gan De says: When the Star of brightness and prestige enters the degree of the Dipper mansion and an eclipse occurs, it signifies that there will be rebellion and military action in that country. Gan De says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Ox mansion and an eclipse occurs, one should be on guard against the right queen, her niece, her daughter-in-law, and other female relatives of the royal family, as well as those who seek favor with the sovereign through religious ceremonies. The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Book of Spiritual Signs says: When an eclipse occurs in the Girl mansion, it indicates that the female ruler of a state will have worries, and the entire country's textile industry will come to a halt. Gan De says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Girl mansion and an eclipse occurs, one should be on guard within the palace, and there will be people who incite priests and shamans to perform worship ceremonies to seek favor and prestige, so these priests and shamans should be particularly watched.

《黃帝占》曰：“日蝕虛中，其邦有崩喪，天下改服，期九十日。”甘氏曰：“日在虛危蝕，戒之在於主市租稅及繒帛刀劍金玉之臣。”（如少府是也。）甘氏曰：“日蝕危，必有兵喪，大臣薨，天下改服。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Emptiness, it indicates that the state will experience collapse and mourning, and the whole world will change its mourning attire, with the period of mourning lasting ninety days. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop, it warns of the need to be cautious regarding officials in charge of markets, taxes, silk, weapons, gold, and jade (such as the office of the Lesser Treasury). Gan De also says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Rooftop, there will certainly be military affairs and mourning, the death of a high-ranking minister, and a change in mourning attire throughout the land.

《黃帝占》曰：“日在營室離宮而蝕，出入無近妃色，趣任輔成功業。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕營室，王者自將兵，天下擾動。”甘氏曰：“日在營室東壁而蝕，則陽消微，男道施而不能洩，陰道壞而不能化，故多有傷者敗。”後氏曰：“日在東壁而蝕，王者不從師友，失忠孝，故曰虧。文章圖書不用。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Encampment mansion and the Fire palace stars, an eclipse occurs, indicating the monarch should not be close to concubines and female pleasures in his daily life, and should urgently appoint ministers to assist in achieving his accomplishments. The Spring and Spirit Classic says: When an eclipse occurs in the Encampment mansion, it indicates the monarch personally leads his troops to campaign, causing turmoil throughout the land. Gan De says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is between the Encampment mansion and the Wall mansion and an eclipse occurs, then the yang energy declines and weakens, the male principle although exerted cannot be expressed, the female principle is ruined and cannot produce offspring, thus many people suffer injuries and deaths. Hou's records say: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Wall mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates the monarch refuses to listen to the advice of teachers and friends, losing the way of loyalty and filial piety, hence it is called 'defect'; the classics and documents are also discarded and neglected.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕奎，南邦不寧，有白衣之會。”石氏曰：“日蝕奎，魯國凶，邦君不安。”甘氏曰：“日在奎婁而蝕，慎之在主邊境廄庫之臣；一曰慎在邊境得意之臣。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕婁，則王者郊祠不時，天下不和，神靈不享，小臣不忠，責在大臣。”甘氏曰：“日在婁而蝕，戒之在聚斂之臣。”

The "Chunqiu Ganjingfu" says: When an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Kui, it indicates that the southern states will not be at peace, and there will be gatherings of white-clothed mourning. Shi Shen says: When an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Kui, it indicates misfortune for Lu, and the rulers of the states will not be at peace. Gan De says: When an eclipse occurs between the mansions of Kui and Lou, one should be cautious about officials in charge of the border stables and granaries; another interpretation suggests one should be on guard against officials who dominate and wield power at the borders. The "Chunqiu Ganjingfu" says: When an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Lou, it indicates that the king's sacrificial rites to heaven at the outskirts will not be conducted in due time, the world will not be harmonious, the spirits will not accept the offerings, the minor officials will not be loyal, and the responsibility lies with the senior officials. Gan De says: When an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Lou, one should be on alert against officials who impose heavy taxes and levies.

《黃帝占》曰：“日在胃而蝕，王者食大絕或亡，主委輸之臣，有黜者。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕胃，國王奉修宗廟，敬祀神靈，則害消。”石氏曰：“日蝕胃，國有憂，大臣誅；一曰主修郊廟，奉皇天，其咎消。”甘氏曰：“日在胃而蝕，戒之在主委輸之臣。”（如今大司農是也。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Stomach mansion and an eclipse occurs, it indicates that the ruler's food supply will be cut off or become extremely scarce, and some officials responsible for transportation will be dismissed. The Spring and Spirit Symbol says: When an eclipse occurs in the Stomach mansion, if the ruler is respectful in maintaining ancestral temples and devout in worshiping spirits, the calamity will be dispelled. Shi Shen says: When an eclipse occurs in the Stomach mansion, it signifies that the state will face troubles and ministers will be executed; another interpretation suggests that if the ruler maintains the rituals at the outer altar and ancestral temples and respects the heavenly sovereign, the misfortune will be removed. Gan De says: When the Star of brightness and prestige is in the Stomach mansion and an eclipse occurs, the concern should be about officials in charge of transportation. (Original note: Like the present-day Grand Minister of Agriculture and similar officials.)

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕昂，王宗謀國，同姓自立。”石氏曰：“日蝕昂，臣厄囹圄者解。”石氏曰：“日蝕昂，王者有疾。”甘氏曰：“日在昂畢而蝕，戒之在眾主獄之臣，有亂天子者。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕畢，邊王死，邊軍自殺其將；若軍校尉誅，遠國謀亂。”石氏曰：“日蝕畢，天下主獄之臣有當黜者。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Book of Divine Signs says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Hairy Head, it indicates that the royal family's relatives plot to seize power, and members of the same surname will establish themselves as kings. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Hairy Head, it indicates that a minister imprisoned in jail will be released. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Hairy Head, it indicates that the king will be ill. Gan De says: If the Sun is between the mansions of Hairy Head and Net and an eclipse occurs, there should be vigilance regarding many officials in charge of criminal justice, among whom some will cause chaos to the Son of Heaven. The Spring and Autumn Annals: A Book of Divine Signs says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Net, it indicates that a king of a distant land will die, and soldiers in the border garrisons will kill their generals; or a military officer will be executed, and a distant state will plot rebellion. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the mansion of Net, it indicates that among officials in charge of criminal justice throughout the realm, there are those who should be dismissed.

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕觜，臣殺主，慎之。”石氏曰：“日蝕觜，大將謀議。”甘氏曰：“日在觜參伐而蝕，戒之在將兵之臣。”（如今諸將軍校尉執金吾是也。）《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕參，大臣有憂之臣自相戮，以外勝內，遠國強；王者修身，則日蝕不為災。”甘氏曰：“日在參伐而蝕，戒之在將帥之臣。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensible Spirits says: When an eclipse occurs in the Turtle Beak mansion, it indicates that ministers and subjects plot against the sovereign, and one should be cautious and vigilant. Shi Shen says: When an eclipse occurs in the Turtle Beak mansion, it indicates that the general officers are secretly discussing matters. Gan De says: When the Sun is in the Turtle Beak mansion, the Three Stars mansion, and the position of the Star of Execution, and an eclipse occurs, one should be alert regarding the ministers who command troops. (Original book note: Like the current generals, officers, and those holding the golden whip.) The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensible Spirits says: When an eclipse occurs in the Three Stars mansion, it indicates that the great ministers are anxious and fearful, and ministers will fight among themselves, external forces overpower internal ones, and distant states become strong. If the sovereign can cultivate himself and reflect on his actions, this eclipse will not become a calamity. Gan De says: When the Sun is in the Three Stars mansion and the position of the Star of Execution, and an eclipse occurs, one should be alert regarding the generals who command the army.

甘氏曰：“日蝕東井，秦邦不臣；蝕不盡，謀不成；天下大早，民流千里。”甘氏曰：“日在東井，輿鬼蝕，戒之在供養之臣。”陳卓曰：“日蝕東井，其國內亂，苛法。”（《盛懸象說》曰：“晉咸和二年五月甲申朔，日有蝕之，在東井，女主之象，明年，皇太后以憂逼崩。）

Gan De said: If an eclipse occurs in the Well mansion, it indicates that the state of Qín will not submit; if the eclipse does not fully cover the sun, then the plot will not succeed; throughout the country there will be a great drought, and the people will flee hundreds of miles. Gan De also said: If the sun is eclipsed in the position of the Well mansion and the Ghost mansion, it is a warning about the officials responsible for the emperor's food and provisions. Chen Zhuo said: If an eclipse occurs in the Well mansion, it indicates internal disorder in the country and harsh laws. (Note from the original text citing "Sheng Xuanxiang Shuo": In the second year of Xianhe of Emperor Cheng of Jin, on the fifth month, on the day of the new moon, an eclipse occurred in the Well mansion. This was an omen related to the female ruler; the next year, the empress dowager indeed died from anxiety and pressure.)

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕輿鬼，其國君不寧，臣下易服：一曰秦君當之；一曰皇后貴臣。”甘氏曰：“日蝕輿鬼，其國君不安：近期一年，遠期三年中”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕柳，王者以疾，不安宮室。”石氏曰：“日蝕柳，君廚官憂。”甘氏曰：“日在柳七星而蝕，戒之在門戶道橋之臣。”（若今衛尉是也）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Manifestation of the Spirit says: If an eclipse occurs in the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that the ruler of the country will not be at peace, and the ministers will change their clothing colors; one interpretation says that the king of the state of Qin will bear this omen; another says it should befall the empress and high-ranking ministers. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs in the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that the ruler of the country will be uneasy; if it is near, the effect will be within one year; if it is distant, within three years. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Manifestation of the Spirit says: If an eclipse occurs in the Willow Mansion, it indicates that the king will be ill and unable to reside in the palace. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the Willow Mansion, it indicates that the official in charge of the royal kitchen will have worries. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs in the Willow Mansion and the Seven Stars, it warns of trouble for the officials responsible for gates, roads, and bridges. (Original note: Like the modern position of the Attendant of the Palace Gate.)

《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕卯、七星，虧正陽，王者不賜衣裳；承天郊，退太常，放在獄，則無咎。”石氏曰：“日蝕柳七星，橋門之臣有黜者。”《春秋感精符》曰：“日蝕張，王者失禮，宗廟不親，急退太常，以延尉代之；不者不安，期在十二月與五月。”甘氏曰：“日在注張而蝕，戒之在主山澤汙池之臣。”（如今水衡也）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensible Spirits says: If an eclipse occurs in the Willow Mansion or the Seven Stars Mansion (the original text mistakenly writes '卯' instead of '柳'), it indicates that the yang position in the south is diminished, and the king will no longer bestow robes upon his ministers. If the king can follow the heavenly will by holding a sacrifice at the outskirts of the capital, dismissing the Grand Master of Rituals, and putting the guilty into prison, there will be no calamity. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the Willow Mansion or the Seven Stars Mansion, it indicates that a minister responsible for bridges and gates will be dismissed. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Sensible Spirits says: If an eclipse occurs in the Extended Net Mansion, it indicates that the king has lost propriety and refuses to personally worship the ancestral temples. He should quickly dismiss the Grand Master of Rituals and replace him with the Minister of Justice. If this is not done, the country will not be at peace, and the time of the disaster will be in the twelfth and fifth months. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs when the sun is in the Willow Mansion (another name for the Willow Mansion) or the Extended Net Mansion, it warns of ministers in charge of mountains, rivers, lakes, and marshes. (Original note: This is similar to the current Water Balance Superintendent.)

《黃帝占》曰：“日蝕翼，王者退太常，以法官代之，有德則日蝕不為害，其歲旱。”石氏曰：“日蝕翼者，王者失禮，宗廟不親。”甘氏曰：“日蝕翼者，忠臣見譖言正者亡，不出其年。”甘氏曰：“日在翼軫而蝕，戒之在車駕之臣。”（如今太僕奉車騎馬是也）

The Huangdi Zhan says: If an eclipse occurs in the Wings mansion, the king should dismiss the Minister of Rites and replace him with an official in charge of law enforcement; if the king is virtuous, this eclipse will not cause harm, but there will be drought in that year. Shi Shen says: If an eclipse occurs in the Wings mansion, it indicates the king has lost propriety and is unwilling to personally worship the ancestral temples. Gan De says: If an eclipse occurs in the Wings mansion, it signifies loyal ministers are falsely accused and those who speak truthfully and uphold righteousness will die, but this will not happen within the same year. Gan De also says: If the sun eclipses while in the Wings and Chariot mansions, one should be cautious about officials who manage the chariots. (Original note: This refers to officials such as the Master of Carriages and those in charge of riding, like the officers of the cavalry.)

《河圖聖洽符》曰：“日蝕軫，國有喪，以赦除其咎。”甘氏曰：“日蝕軫，貴臣亡。一日后不安，期百八十日。”《海中占》曰：“日蝕軫，王侯壽絕；王者以赦除咎則安：一曰其國有憂，必有喪事。”

The River Chart Sacred Harmony Symbol says: When an eclipse occurs in the Chariot Mansion, it indicates there will be mourning within the country, and the state should issue an amnesty decree to eliminate this calamity. Gan De says: When an eclipse occurs in the Chariot Mansion, it signifies the death of a high-ranking minister; another view is that the empress will not be at peace, and the period should be one hundred and eighty days. The Sea Divination says: When an eclipse occurs in the Chariot Mansion, it indicates the death of a prince or marquis; if the king can eliminate the calamity by issuing an amnesty decree, it will turn into peace; another view is that the country will have troubles and certainly will have mourning.

《春秋感精符》曰：“救日蝕，天子南面，秉圖書，察九野萌生者；絕始正本案類，敕下聞異，郡官修政，招賢進士，獨絕其萌，所以防塞之者；故日蝕、大水則鼓，用牲於社。言社者，陰之主：朱絲縈社，鳴鼓脅之也。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Spirit and Symbol says: The method to avert an eclipse is for the Son of Heaven to sit facing south, holding scrolls and classics, and examining the emerging troubles in the nine provinces. He should cut off the source, correct the root, and investigate each category, ordering the regions to report anomalies. Local magistrates should regulate affairs, recruit talents, and recommend scholars, thus cutting off the root of disorder. This is the method of prevention. Therefore, when an eclipse or great flood occurs, drums should be beaten, and sacrifices made at the earth god altar. The reason for sacrificing to the earth god is that the earth god is the master of yin energy. Wrapping the earth altar with red silk and beating drums to denounce evil is to use yang to suppress yin.

（按《左氏傳》曰：“莊公二十五年六月辛未朔，日有食之，鼓，用牲於社。非常也，惟正月之朔，日有食之，於是乎用幣於社，伐鼓於朝。秋大水，鼓，用牲於門，亦非常也。凡天災，有幣無牲。文公十五年六月辛丑朔，日有蝕之，天子不舉，伐鼓於社，諸侯用幣於社，伐鼓於朝，以昭事神訓，民事君示有等，威古之道也。）

According to a commentary from the original text citing the "Zuo Zhuan," on June 25th of the 25th year of Lu Zhuang Gong, on the first day of the month, there was an eclipse of the sun. Drums were beaten, and sacrifices were offered at the ancestral temple for worship, which was against the usual rites. Only when an eclipse occurred on the first day of the first lunar month should sacrifices be presented at the ancestral temple and drums beaten in the court. In that autumn there was a great flood, and drums were also beaten, with sacrifices offered at the city gates, which again was against the usual rites. For all natural disasters, only offerings of silk and cloth should be made, without sacrifices. In the 15th year of Lu Wen Gong, on June 2nd of the first month, there was an eclipse of the sun. The Son of Heaven removed the elaborate food offerings and stopped music, beating drums at the ancestral temple. The feudal lords offered silk and cloth at the ancestral temple and beat drums in the court, using this method to demonstrate the lesson of serving the gods, so that the people would understand the distinctions of rank when serving their rulers. This has been passed down since ancient times and is a method to establish authority.

《春秋感精符》曰：“消變之道，案明壇南郊，日之將蝕，漸青黑，謹遣大將三公，如變所感之過，以告天曰：‘天子臣某，謹承皇戍，退避正居，思行愆誤，陽精有幣，巳政類素，正事去非，釋苛禁，不敢直命，遣臣欽喻，巳絕國害之謫近，以緒盡力宣文，思維表道，願得修政，以奉宗祖，追往翼今，勉開嘉紀，縱大揚精，以興日寶。

The Spring and Autumn Records of the Manifestation of the Essence says: The method to eliminate and resolve anomalies is to set up a hall of illumination at the southern suburb. When the sun is about to be eclipsed and the light gradually turns dark and bluish, solemnly dispatch a great general and the Three Dukes, according to the faults corresponding to this anomaly, to pray to Heaven: "The minister of the Son of Heaven, so and so, has carefully accepted the trust of the Heavenly Emperor. He has already withdrawn from the main hall and the main residence, reflecting on his own faults, offering sacrifices of silk and cloth to the bright sun, simplifying all government orders, rectifying affairs, abolishing illegal practices, removing harsh prohibitions; not daring to directly convey the royal command, but specially sending ministers to carefully present the matter. We have already cut off the sources of punishments that are close and harmful to the state, continuing the ancestral achievements, striving to promote literature and education, seeking to clarify the great way, wishing to improve governance to honor the ancestral temples, making up for past mistakes, supporting the present, striving to open a beautiful era, widely promoting the bright sun, to revive this supreme treasure of the sun."

歸報天子，三日就宮遣使，詔諸侯問過；舉名士，察奸理冤，督教化。不宣者，審以敕身，務佐為行，天子吉。”《春秋感精符》曰：“朔，日蝕，正臣陰，退后妃，以內過省已：蝕二日者，王侯蕃黜州輔，以暴恣自改，晦日蝕者，正近臣，退素食。”

After the prayers were completed, the officials returned to report to the Son of Heaven. Three days later, the Son of Heaven returned to the palace and sent envoys to issue an edict to the feudal lords to inquire about their faults. He would recommend virtuous scholars, investigate wickedness, resolve wrongful cases, and promote moral education. Those who refused to carry out these orders should carefully examine and correct their own conduct, ensuring they assist the sovereign in accomplishing these tasks. In this way, the Son of Heaven would gain a favorable outcome. The "Spring and Autumn Records of the Spirit and Phenomena" states: If an eclipse occurs on the new moon day, the ministers should rectify their private misconduct, dismiss the concubines, and reflect on their own faults within the palace. If an eclipse occurs on the second day, the king should dismiss the dukes and marquises, as well as the officials assisting the states and prefectures, allowing the tyrannical and unrestrained to correct themselves. If an eclipse occurs on the last day of the month, the court officials should be rectified, and the lavish feasts should be replaced with simple vegetarian food.

《周禮地官司徒》曰：“救日蝕，則詔；王鼓。”（鄭玄曰：救日月食，王必親擊鼓。）《禮記昏義》曰：“男教不侯，陽事不得，謫見於天，日為之蝕。是故日蝕則天子素服，修六官之職，蕩天下陽事。”（鄭玄曰：“謫之言責也。”）

The Zhou Li · Di Gong Shu Tu says: When there is an eclipse of the sun, a decree is issued and the king personally beats the drum. (The original commentary cites Zheng Xuan saying: When there is an eclipse of the sun or moon, the king must personally beat the drum.) The Li Ji · Hun Yi says: If the education of men is not properly carried out, and the affairs of the yang are not properly managed, heaven will send a sign of punishment, and the sun will be eclipsed. Therefore, when there is a solar eclipse, the Son of Heaven wears plain clothes, arranges the duties of the six officials, and removes the evils in the yang aspect of the world. (The original commentary cites Zheng Xuan saying: 'Zhe' means punishment.)

《穀梁傳》曰：“日有食之，鼓；用牲於社。鼓，禮也，用牲，非禮也；天子救日蝕，置五麾，陳五兵，五鼓；諸侯置三麾，陳三兵，三鼓，大夫擊門：土擊杵。（言救日降殺多少之禮也，門取開合有陰陽之道，杵春粢盛之具，亦有上下陰陽之道也。）

The Guiliang Zhuan says: When an eclipse occurs, drums should be beaten and sacrifices offered at the earth god altar. Beating drums conforms to propriety, but offering sacrifices does not. The Son of Heaven performs rituals to avert an eclipse, setting up five banners, displaying five kinds of weapons, and beating five sets of drums; the feudal lords set up three banners, display three kinds of weapons, and beat three sets of drums; the great officers beat the doors, and the commoners beat wooden杵. (Original commentary: This explains the hierarchical reduction in ritual according to rank when performing eclipse avertances. Taking the door as an instrument is because the door opens and closes, embodying the principle of yin and yang; the杵 is a tool used for pounding rice and grains in sacrifice, with its rising and falling motion also embodying the principle of yin and yang.)

《星傳》曰：“日者德，月者刑，日蝕修德，月蝕修刑<，”洪範《天文》曰：“凡日蝕，改行修德，即災消除：不改，應在三年：三年不改，至六年：六年不改，至九年：九年而災成。”司馬彪《五行志》曰：“君道有虧，為陰所乘，故日蝕者，陽不克也。人君改修德其事，則咎害除。”

The Star Transmission says: The sun governs virtue, and the moon governs punishment; when the sun is eclipsed, one should reform and clarify virtue and governance, and when the moon is eclipsed, one should correct punishments. The Hongfan Astronomical Records say: Whenever there is a solar eclipse, if one changes their conduct and reforms virtue and governance, the calamity will be dispelled; if one refuses to change, the consequence will appear within three years; if it is not changed within three years, it will extend to six years; if not changed within six years, it will extend to nine years; by the ninth year, the calamity will have fully developed. The Western Jin historian Sima Biao's Five Phases Chronicle says: When the ruler's way is lacking, he is oppressed by yin energy, so a solar eclipse signifies that yang energy is unable to overcome yin energy. If the ruler can change his approach and cultivate virtue and govern affairs, the calamity and misfortune will be eliminated.

京氏《對災異》曰：“人君驕溢，專明為陰所侵，則有日蝕之災；不救之，必有篡臣之萌；其救也，君懷謙虛，下賢受諫，位有德，祿有智，日蝕災消也。”京氏曰：“日蝕既，下謀上；救也，設七事，正圖書，修經術，改惡為化己隨賢，則國家安，社稷寧。”

Jing Fang said in his "Discourse on Catastrophes and Anomalies": If a ruler is arrogant and self-satisfied, monopolizing wisdom and being invaded by yin energy, there will be an eclipse of the sun; if not remedied, there will certainly be a minister who plots against the sovereign. The method of remedy is: the sovereign should be humble in heart, honor the virtuous, accept advice, appoint the virtuous to positions and the wise to receive rewards, and then the disaster of the solar eclipse will be dispelled. Jing Fang said: When a total solar eclipse occurs, it signifies that those below plot against the sovereign. The method of remedy is to establish seven matters of response, correct the records and classics, clarify the classics, eliminate evil deeds, cultivate oneself, and follow the virtuous. Then the state will be stable and the state will be peaceful.

董仲舒《災異對》曰：“日蝕者，陰氣盛畜，漸奪君明，治道有失，臣專君政，出入為奸；則治道在上德不宣，下民常怨：當應析寵臣之勢，減玉食之權，無忽諫，言大惡，在於任賢；則災害不生也。”董仲舒曰：“日蝕者，邪臣蔽主之治，不有反臣，必胡亡國；退臣、絕陰、止權、平衡、以德消，則無害。”

In the Western Han dynasty, Dong Zhongshu in his "Zaiyi Dui" said: an eclipse of the sun is caused by excessive阴气 accumulating, gradually taking away the clarity of the sovereign, leading to failure in the governance of the state, with ministers usurping the sovereign's authority, entering and leaving the court to act in private interests. Thus, although power remains in the hands of the sovereign, moral teachings cannot be spread, and the common people often harbor resentment. The way to respond is to divide the power of favored ministers, reduce their privileges of enjoying luxurious food and drink, not neglecting advice, daring to point out great evils, and the fundamental solution lies in appointing virtuous people; in this way, disasters will not occur. Dong Zhongshu said: an eclipse of the sun is caused by wicked ministers obscuring the sovereign's governance. Even if there are no rebellious ministers, it will certainly lead to the invasion of foreign tribes and the downfall of the state. Expelling wicked ministers, cutting off evil influences, preventing the abuse of power, balancing authority, and using moral governance to eliminate it, it will not become a harm.

《荊州占》曰：“日蝕，審所始蝕之鄉，及星之野，以名之當者之國，吉凶在焉；是故聖主見變，則改身修行，親賢問老，與共憂之：則患可止，而福可致。故曰：有福將來，受之以危，則福為禍；將受之以德，則禍反為福：輒禳祠之去禍致福也。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When an eclipse occurs, one must carefully examine the direction from which it begins and the star mansion it corresponds to, and thus determine which state should bear the responsibility. Good fortune or misfortune will then fall upon that state. Therefore, a wise ruler, upon seeing such an omen, will correct his own conduct, cultivate virtue, approach the virtuous, and consult the elderly and wise, sharing their concerns. In this way, calamities can be averted and blessings can be attracted. Thus it is said: When good fortune is about to come, if one receives it with arrogance and carelessness, it will turn into misfortune; but if one receives it with virtue, misfortune will turn into good fortune. Therefore, they immediately perform rituals of appeasement and worship to remove misfortune and invite blessings.

虞贄《決疑》曰；“凡救日蝕者，皆著幘以助陽：日將蝕，天子素服，避正殿，內外嚴警；太史靈臺，伺日有變，便伐鼓；聞鼓音，侍臣皆赤幘帶劍，則災異消。”

Yu Zhi's "Deciding Doubts" says: All those participating in the ritual to avert a solar eclipse are required to wear headscarves to enhance the yang energy. When the sun is about to be obscured, the Son of Heaven changes into plain garments, withdraws from the main hall, and strict precautions are taken both inside and outside the palace. The Grand Astrologers wait on the spiritual platform, and as soon as they observe any change in the sun, they immediately beat the drum. Upon hearing the drum, the attendants all wear red headscarves and carry swords, thus the calamity can be dispelled.

皇甫謐《年曆》曰：“月者，群陰之宗，光內影月以宵耀，名曰夜光。”《易說卦》曰：“坎為月。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月者，金之精。”《春秋感精符》曰：“月者，陰之精，地之理。”《廣雅》曰：“夜光謂之月。”《天宮書》曰：“太陰之精，上為月。月者，天地之陰，金之精也。”王子年《拾遺記》曰：“瀛洲水精為月。”

The Western Jin dynasty's Huang Fu Mi wrote in his "Nian Li" that the moon is the master of all yin energies, its radiance is contained within but reflects images, shining at night, hence called "night light". The "Book of Changes · Shuo Gua" says that the Kan trigram symbolizes the moon. The "He Tu Di Lian Xi" says that the moon is the essence of metal. The "Chun Qiu Gan Jing Fu" says that the moon is the essence of yin energy, the order of the earth. The "Guang Ya" says that "night light" is another name for the moon. The "Tian Gong Shu" (i.e., "Records of the Grand Historian · Tian Gong Book") says that the essence of Tai Yin rises to form the moon; the moon is the yin energy between heaven and earth, also the essence of metal. The Eastern Jin dynasty's Wang Jia (given name Zi Nian) wrote in his "Shi Yi Ji" that the water crystal of Ying Zhou condensed into the moon.

《禮記》曰：“月者，闕也。”范子《計然》曰：“月者，水也。”《淮南子》曰：“月者，天之使也；水氣之精者，為月。”《漢書李尋上疏》曰：“月者，從陰之長，妃后、大臣、諸侯之象。”張衡《靈憲》曰：“月者，陰精之宗，積而成象。兔蛤焉，陰之類，數偶也。並羿請不死之藥於西王母，娥竊之以奔月，遂託身於月，是謂蟾蜍。”《春秋演孔圖》曰：“蟾蜍，月精也。”

The Li Ji says: "Yue" means deficiency. The Ji Ran, transmitted by Fan Li's lineage, says that the moon belongs to water. The Huainanzi says that the moon is the messenger of heaven; it is the essence of water vapor condensed into form. The Han Shu records Li Xin's memorial stating that the moon is the leader among those who follow the yin energy, symbolizing the empress, ministers, and feudal lords. The Eastern Han scholar Zhang Heng's Ling Xian says that the moon is the master of yin essence, formed by the accumulation of yin energy. The moon contains a rabbit and a toad, both belonging to the yin category, because yin numbers are even. Originally, Hou Yi obtained the elixir of immortality from Xi Wang Mu, and Chang'e stole it and flew into the moon, thus taking refuge in the moon, which is referred to as the toad. The Chunqiu Yan Kong Tu says that the toad is the spirit of the moon.

楊泉《物理論》曰：“月陰之精，其形也圓，其質也清，稟日之光，而見其體；日不照，則謂之魄。故月望之日，日月相望，人居間，盡睹其明，故形圓也；二絃之日，日照其側，人觀其旁，故半照半魄也；晦朔之日，日照其表，人在其裹。故不見也。”

The Western Jin dynasty scholar Yang Quan in his work "Wulunli" said that the moon is the essence of yin energy, with a round shape and a clear texture. It appears visible only because it receives the light from the Sun. The part of the moon not illuminated by the Sun is called "po." Therefore, on the full moon day, the Sun and the Moon are opposite each other, and people are in the middle, able to see the fully illuminated side of the moon, hence its round shape. On the days of the first and last quarters, the Sun shines from the side, and people view it from the side, so half of the moon is illuminated and half is "po." On the new moon and the dark moon days, the Sun illuminates the outer side of the moon, while people are on the inner side, so the moonlight is not visible.

四十分日之七百四十三奇一，則遲疾之一終而復始矣。月朔而晨見東方，謂之側匿，行遲也；月晦而夕見西方，謂之朓，行疾也；遲疾相通，謂之平；行一日十三度六十七分度之二十五半，二十七日一千三百四十分度之七百四十三奇一而周天矣。一年月十三周天，有閏之年則十四周天。與日合度，是為月朔。

The forty fractions of the day amount to seven hundred forty-three and a remainder of one, and the cycle of the moon's slow and fast movement comes to an end and begins again. When the moon appears in the east in the early morning of the new moon, this is called "side concealment" and indicates it is moving slowly; when it appears in the west in the evening of the last moon, this is called "tiào" and indicates it is moving quickly. When the slow and fast movements are averaged, it is called "ping." The average speed is thirteen degrees and twenty-five and a half parts of a degree per day. After twenty-seven days and one thousand three hundred forty parts of a degree and a remainder of one, the moon completes one full orbit around the sky. In one year, the moon orbits the sky thirteen times, and in a leap year, fourteen times. When the moon and the sun meet at the same degree, this is called the new moon.

日月相與東行；日行遲，而月行疾；二十九日一千三百四十分日之七百一十一則月周天復還及日，即二朔去之日數也。《春秋元命包》曰：“日月右行，周天二十三萬里。”

The Sun and Moon both move eastward; the Sun moves slowly, while the Moon moves quickly. After twenty-nine days and one thousand three hundred forty parts of a day, seven hundred and eleven of which, the Moon completes a full circle around the sky and catches up with the Sun again. This is the number of days between two consecutive new moons. The "Chunqiu Yuanmingbao" states that both the Sun and Moon move to the right, and the distance they travel to complete one full circle around the sky is twenty-three ten-thousand li.

《河圖》曰：“曰：“日、月、五星同道，過牽牛、女、虛、危、室、壁、奎、胃、昴，皆行其南，去之九尺；畢北七尺，觜、參北一丈三尺；貫井，出鬼南六尺；出柳北六尺；出七星、張北一丈三尺；出、翼、軫北一丈三天；貫角、亢，出氐南二尺；出房左右服間，出心北二尺，屋北十尺；出箕北六尺；貫斗至牛，此日、月、五星行常道也。”

The River Chart says: The sun, moon, and five planets travel along the same path. When passing through the constellations of Dou, Niu, Xu, Wei, Yingshi, Dongbei, Kui, Wei, Mao, they pass south of them, at a distance of nine feet; when passing through Bi constellation, they pass north of it by seven feet; when passing through Zi and Can constellations, they pass north of them by thirteen feet; they pass straight through Dongjing, emerging from six feet south of Yu鬼 constellation; they emerge from six feet north of Liu constellation; they emerge from thirteen feet north of Qiang and Yi constellations; they emerge from thirteen feet north of Zhen and Chen constellations (the original text says 'three days' but should be 'three feet'); they pass straight through Jiao and Kang constellations, emerging from two feet south of Di constellation; they pass through the two stars between Fang constellation; they emerge from two feet north of Xin constellation; they emerge from ten feet north of 'wu'; they emerge from six feet north of Ji constellation; they pass straight through Nan Dou and reach Dou constellation. This is the regular path of the sun, moon, and five planets.

《洛書》曰：“日、月、五星，行歷左角內；行左亢外四尺；歷左右氐；外行房兩服間；行心內六尺；行尾內十八尺；行箕內十二尺；行斗柄中一尺；行牛中，行女外四尺；行虛外六尺，行危外十三尺；行室外十六尺，行壁外十三尺；行奎外十三尺；行婁外九尺；行胃外十一尺；行昴外五尺；歷畢左角；行觜內六尺；行參內十八尺；行井中；行鬼外十四尺；行柳內九天；行七星內十五尺；行張內十八尺；行翼內十六尺；行軫內十三尺。在上者為北，此日、月、五星之正道也。”

The Luo Writing says: The sun, moon, and five stars travel within the left angle star; they pass four feet outside the left kang star; they pass through the two stars on either side of the Root mansion; they pass outside the two stars between the Room mansion; they travel within the heart mansion six feet; they travel within the tail mansion eighteen feet; they travel within the Winnowing Basket mansion twelve feet; they pass through the middle of the斗柄 one foot; they pass through the middle of the牵牛; they travel four feet outside the须女; they travel six feet outside the Emptiness mansion; they travel thirteen feet outside the Rooftop mansion; they travel sixteen feet outside the营室; they travel thirteen feet outside the东壁; they travel thirteen feet outside the Legs mansion; they travel nine feet outside the Bond mansion; they travel eleven feet outside the Stomach mansion; they travel five feet outside the Hairy Head mansion; they pass through the left angle of the Net mansion; they travel within the Turtle Beak mansion six feet; they travel within the Three Stars mansion eighteen feet; they pass through the middle of the Well mansion; they travel fourteen feet outside the Ghost mansion; they travel nine feet within the Willow mansion (the original text says '九天' which should be '九尺'); they travel fifteen feet within the七星; they travel eighteen feet within the Extended Net mansion; they travel sixteen feet within the Wings mansion; they travel thirteen feet within the Chariot mansion. All instances here where it says 'in the upper' refer to the north. This is the correct path of the sun, moon, and five stars.

石氏曰：“明王在上，月行依道；若主不明，臣執勢，則月行失道。大臣用事，背公向私，兵刑失道，則月行乍南乍北；女主外威，擅權則或進退朓朒；皆君臣刑德不正之咎也。有不如常，隨事占其吉凶；月行疾，則君刑緩；行遲，則君刑急。月之與日，遲疾勢殊，而事勢異也。是故人君月有變，則省刑以德，恩從肆赦，故春秋有眚災友肆赦。”

Shi Shen said: When an enlightened ruler is in power, the moon follows its regular course. But if the ruler is incompetent and ministers hold power, the moon deviates from its normal path. When ministers dominate and act against justice, pursuing private interests, the administration of military and legal affairs loses its standard, and the moon alternately drifts south and north. When a female ruler relies on the power of her maternal relatives to seize authority, the moon sometimes leads and sometimes lags, showing the phenomena of 'Tiao' and 'Nu'. These are all the faults caused by the improper application of punishment and virtue between the ruler and ministers. For any deviation from the norm, one should judge the fortune and misfortune according to specific circumstances. If the moon moves quickly, it indicates that the ruler applies lenient punishment; if it moves slowly, it indicates that the ruler applies severe punishment. The moon and the sun have opposite trends in their speed, and thus the affairs they presage are also opposite. Therefore, when a ruler encounters abnormal lunar phenomena, he should reduce punishments, promote virtue, spread benevolence, and grant general amnesty. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Annals record instances of leniency in times of calamity and misfortune ('Sheng zai si she' is from the Book of Documents, the Shun Classic).

劉向《洪範傳》曰：“晦而月見西方，謂之朓；朔而月見東方，謂之側匿。朓則王侯其舒言、政緩，則陽行遲、陰行疾也。側匿則王侯其肅言、政急，則陽行疾、陰行遲也。舒者，臣驕而執政也。肅者，臣下恐懼太甚也。”

In the "Hong Fan Zhuan" by Liu Xiang of the Western Han dynasty, it is said that when the moon appears in the west on a dark day, this is called "Tiao"; and when the moon appears in the east on a new moon day, this is called "Ce Ni". The occurrence of "Tiao" indicates that princes and marquises act slowly and their decrees are lax, thus the yang moves slowly while the yin moves quickly. The occurrence of "Ce Ni" indicates that princes and marquises act strictly and their decrees are urgent, thus the yang moves quickly while the yin moves slowly. The term "Shu" refers to ministers being arrogant and controlling the government; the term "Su" refers to ministers being overly fearful.

劉歆曰：“舒者王侯殿意專政，臣下促急，故月行疾也；肅者，王侯縮訥不任事，臣下馳縱，故行遲也。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“主勢集於后族，群妃之黨，橫僭為害，則月盈。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月生八日當中，五日六日而中，有兵在列，大戰。”

Liu Xin said: The term "shu" refers to princes and dukes acting solely according to their own will and dominating the government, forcing ministers into a state of urgency, hence the moon moves quickly. The term "su" refers to princes and dukes being timid and hesitant in speech, unwilling to take responsibility, allowing ministers to act recklessly, hence the moon moves slowly. The "Spring and Autumn Annals: The Movement of the Stars and the Pole" states: When the power of the ruler is concentrated in the hands of the maternal relatives, the factions of the concubines act beyond their proper bounds and cause harm to the court, the moon appears particularly full. Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" says: On the eighth day of the moon's cycle, it should be at its zenith. If on the fifth or sixth day it has already reached the zenith, this indicates the presence of an army in formation and the possibility of a great battle.

《荊州占》曰：“月行疾，天下有急事。”又曰：“月行過急，奸邪起，月行不及度，多留事。”又曰：“入月五日，昏而月中，急兵大起，糴大貴。”又曰：大月八日昏中，小月七日昏中；過度有兵事，不及度有喪事。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the moon moves too quickly, there will be urgent matters throughout the realm. It also says: If the moon moves too fast, wicked people will rise to power; if the moon moves slower than usual, official affairs will be delayed and accumulate. It also says: If on the fifth day of the month, the moon is already in the middle heaven at dusk, this indicates a great outbreak of military conflict and a sharp rise in grain prices. It also says: On the eighth day of a big month or the seventh day of a small month, the moon is in the middle heaven at dusk, which is the normal course; if it exceeds this, there will be military conflict, and if it falls short, there will be mourning events.

京氏《對災異》曰：“人君好用佞邪，朝無忠臣，則月失其行。”班固《天文志》曰：“月失節度而妄行，出陽道，則旱風；出陰道，則陰雨。”京房《妖占》曰：“月行南為旱，行北為水；當道天門、駟之間，天下大安，五穀大得，人主延年益壽。”

Jing Fang's "Discourse on Portents and Anomalies" says: If the ruler favors the use of wicked and perverse people and there are no loyal ministers in the court, the moon will deviate from its proper path. Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records" states: If the moon loses its measure and runs erratically, if it goes beyond the yang path, it indicates drought and wind; if it goes beyond the yin path, it indicates cold and rain. Jing Fang's "Omen Divination" says: If the moon moves southward, it indicates drought; if it moves northward, it indicates flooding; if it moves straight along the central path between the Heavenly Gate and the Four Stars of the Room Mansion, it indicates great peace throughout the land, abundant harvests of grain, and the ruler's prolonged life.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行一歲，不三出昴畢間，來年有兵。”郗萌曰：“月不道東西咸，必有賊。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月人八日，北向陰國，亡地；月不盡八日，北向陽國，亡地。”

The River Chart says: When the moon completes its cycle in a year, if it has not passed three times between the Hairy Head mansion and the Net mansion, there will be military conflict the following year. Xi Meng says: If the moon does not follow the path indicated by the East Salt and West Salt star groups, there will certainly be bandits. Jing Fang's "Book of Changes Divination" says: If the moon is biased toward the north during the first eight days of the month, the country with yin will lose territory; if the moon is biased toward the north during the last eight days of the month, the country with yang will lose territory.

《易萌氣樞》曰：“臣道修，則月明有光。”《高宗占》曰：“月出如盛天下，且有主治也。”《尚書考靈曜》曰：“五政不失，日月光明；五政，謂四時及夏季之政也。”《禮緯含文嘉》曰：“君道尊而制命，即日月精明。”

The "Yi Meng Qi Shu" says: When the way of a minister is cultivated and clear, the moon becomes bright and radiant. The "Gao Zong Zhan" says: When the moon rises, its light is grand and illuminates the world, indicating that a wise ruler will emerge to govern the world. The "Shang Shu Kao Ling Yao" says: When the five policies are not lost, the sun and moon become bright; the five policies refer to the governance of the four seasons plus that of the season of the great summer. The "Li Wei Han Wen Jia" says: When the ruler's way is respected and he can issue commands on his own, the sun and moon become pure and bright.

《黃帝占》曰：“有道之國，日月過之即明，人君吉昌，人民安樂。”孫氏《瑞應圖》曰：“人君不假臣下以權，則日月揚光。”甘氏曰：“月經心，清明烈照，天主內明，必有延慶。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: In a country with virtue, when the sun and moon pass through its territory, they appear exceptionally bright, indicating that the sovereign will have good fortune, prosperity, and the people will live in peace and happiness. Sun's "Ruiying Tu" says: When the sovereign does not entrust power to his ministers, the sun and moon will shine brightly. Gan De says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, it is clear and bright, its light dazzling, which is a sign that the Star of the messenger of illness enlightens the sovereign's mind, surely bringing long-lasting blessings.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日光如張炬火，所宿其國，立王亦立上卿。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月變色，青為飢與疫，赤為爭與兵，黃為德與喜，白為旱與喪，黑為水，民半死。”《京房占》曰：“君幼弱，月青色。”

The *Yellow River Chart* says: Moonlight shines as bright as a spread-out torch; the country it guards will soon establish a king and a high minister. (The original text says "sunlight," but according to the heading and meaning of this section, it should refer to moonlight.) *Jing Fang's *Book of Omens* says: If the moon changes color, a green hue signifies famine and plague, a red hue signifies conflict and warfare, a yellow hue signifies virtuous governance and celebration, a white hue signifies drought and mourning, and a black hue signifies flooding, with half the people dying. *Jing Fang's *Book of Omens* also says: If the ruler is young and weak, the moon will appear green.

京房《易飛候》曰：“月生八日，當玄兔色，上旬糴貴，無則上旬糴賤。不盡八日，色，下旬糴貴，無則豐，而下旬賤。”《荊州占》曰：“月赤如赭，大將死於野；又曰月赤如血，有死王。以宿占國。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" says: On the eighth day when the moon begins to brighten, the color should be as dark as a black rabbit; if it truly appears this way, the grain price will rise in the first half of the month. If it does not appear, the grain price will be cheap in the first half. If this color appears on the eighth day of the month's end, the grain price will rise in the second half. If it does not appear, it will be a bountiful year, and the grain price will be cheap in the second half. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: If the moon's color is as red as cinnabar, it indicates the death of a general in the field; it also says that if the moon's color is as red as blood, it indicates the death of a king. To determine which country is affected, one should refer to the star mansion corresponding to the moon's position.

《荊州占》曰：“月生而色黃，主人受其殃；月二十八日，其色黃，攻地入，客受殃。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月入而黃，主人受殃；出而黃赤，客受其謫，赤三日不復，主人戰有勝。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月生三日，其中縵縵如絲布狀，其野虛；兵在內盡出，然外主人不勝。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon first appears, if it shows a yellow color, the defending side will suffer calamity; if on the twenty-eighth day of the month the moon appears yellow, the invading force will suffer calamity. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: When the moon sets and appears yellow, the defending side will suffer; when it rises and appears yellow with a reddish tinge, the invading force will be punished; if the red color persists for three consecutive days, the defending side will achieve victory in battle. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* also says: On the third day after the moon first appears, if the moon's surface seems to be covered with a thin layer of silk, the region corresponding to that area will become empty; all the military forces within the territory will be deployed outside, but the defending side will not be able to win the battle.

郗萌占曰：“月初生盛，女主持政。”京氏《易飛候》曰：“月之光如張芒，所宿之國立君；三齊所宿之國，立將軍，上卿。”《荊州占》曰：“月上弦巳後盛，君無戕德，臣執權柄，人背君，尊其臣。”

Xi Meng's divination says: When the moon is newly born and its light is bright and grand, it indicates that a female ruler will hold the government. Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" says: When the moon's light spreads like spread-out thorns, the country it governs will have to replace its ruler; if it appears three times in the region corresponding to Qi, then the country will have to appoint a general and a high minister. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When the moon passes the waxing phase and its light becomes particularly bright, it signifies that the ruler's virtue and authority are insufficient to restrain his ministers, and the ministers will seize power, with the people turning their loyalty from the ruler to his ministers.

《太公陰秘》曰：“君不明，臣不忠，故月無光；月不明見變，變不救，殃禍生，臣欲反，主失名。其救也；安百姓，用賢人，弱者扶，無則害。”

The Tai Gong Yin Mi says: If the sovereign is not clear-sighted, the ministers will not be loyal, so the moon loses its brightness; when the moon is not clear, it shows a change, and if a change occurs but no rituals are performed to appease it, calamity will follow, and the ministers will want to rebel, while the sovereign loses his position. The method to appease is: to comfort the people, appoint the virtuous, and support the weak; if this is not done, it will become a harm.

《黃帝占用兵要訣》曰：“沉陰，日月俱無光，晝不見日，夜不見月，星皆有雲障之而不雨。此為君臣俱有陰謀，兩敵相當，陰相圖議也。若晝陰夜月出，君謀臣；夜陰晝日出，臣謀君，下逆上也。”

The Yellow Emperor's Secret of Military Divination states: When the Yin energy is stagnant and the sky is dark and obscured, the sun and moon lose their brightness, the sun cannot be seen during the day, the moon cannot be seen at night, and the stars are all covered by clouds yet no rain falls. This indicates that both the ruler and the minister harbor secret schemes, and the two armies are facing each other in a stalemate, secretly plotting against each other. If the day is dark and the moon appears at night, it signifies that the ruler is scheming against the minister. If the night is dark and the sun appears during the day, it signifies that the minister is scheming against the ruler, and the lower ranks will rebel against the higher authority.

甘氏曰：“人君宰相，不從四時行令，刑罰不時，大臣奸謀，離賢蔽能，即日月無光，見瑕謫；不救，其國五穀不成，六畜不生，人民上下不從，盜賊並起。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“日月無光，有亡國、死王，期不出五年。”《孝經內記圖》曰：“主驕慢，日月失明。”

Gan De said: If the sovereign and the prime minister do not issue decrees in accordance with the order of the four seasons, and punishments are not appropriate, the ministers will conspire secretly, distant themselves from the virtuous, and suppress the talented. Then the sun and moon will lose their brightness, showing signs of defects and censure. If this is not remedied, the country will suffer from poor harvests of the five grains, the six domestic animals will not thrive, the people will be discontented, and bandits will rise up together. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's View of the World" says: If the sun and moon have no light, it indicates the country will perish and the king will die, and this will happen within no more than five years. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji Tu" says: If the sovereign is arrogant and haughty, the sun and moon will lose their brightness.

《京氏占》曰：“月大無光，國無王，民不安，天下有兵。”《京氏占》曰：“月昏無光，則淵涸山崩，王者惡之。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月大無光，主死士，戰不勝。”《高宗占》曰：“月大無光，城不降；月小無光，城降。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月無光，臣不作亂，教令不行，民飢國亡。”京氏《易飛候》曰：“月不光，貴人死。”《荊州占》曰：“月生無光，下有死王。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月生無光，君子徒凶。”

The Jing Fang's Divination says: When the moon appears large but without light, it indicates there is no true ruler in the country, the people cannot find peace, and there will be military conflicts. The Jing Fang's Divination also says: When the moon is dark and lacks light, there will be dried-up deep pools, collapsing mountains, and it will be unfavorable for the ruler. The Yellow River Chart's Imperial View says: When the moon is large but without light, it indicates the soldiers defending the territory will suffer casualties and the battle will not be won. The High Ancestor's Divination says: When the moon is large but without light, surrounded cities will not surrender; when the moon is small but without light, the surrounded cities will surrender. Jing Fang's Demonstration Divination says: When the moon loses its light, ministers may not start a rebellion, but the moral teachings and government orders will not be effectively implemented, leading to famine among the people and the country's downfall. Jing Fang's Easy Flying Divination says: When the moon does not emit light, it indicates the death of a person of high status. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon first appears without light, it indicates the death of a ruler below. Jing Fang's Easy Flying Divination also says: When the moon first appears without light, it indicates the death of a gentleman without cause.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月中無兔、蟾蜍，天下無官。”《荊州占》曰：“月中兔、蟾蜍不見，天下失女主，一曰宮女不安。”《河圖》曰：“蟾蜍去月，天下大亂。”《黃帝占》曰：“月望而月中蟾蜍不見者，月所宿之國，山崩，大水，城陷，民流亡，亦為失主；宮中必不安。”

The River Chart: The Emperor's View says: If the jade rabbit and the toad are not visible in the moon, it indicates that there are no competent officials in the world. The Jingzhou Divination says: If the jade rabbit and the toad in the moon disappear, it signifies that the country will lose its female ruler; another interpretation is that the women in the palace will not be at peace. The River Chart says: If the toad leaves the moon, it foretells great chaos in the world. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When on the full moon day the toad in the moon is not visible, it indicates that the country corresponding to the moon's position will experience mountain collapses, great floods, the collapse of cities, and the migration of the people, as well as the loss of the ruler; certainly, the palace will be in disorder.

《荊州占》曰：“有雲如杵，長七尺，沖月所宿國，主君將死。”京房《易飛候》曰：“白雲如杵，長七尺，沖月所宿之國，人主死，杆柄中月，王后死；入月中，王后當之；月戴珥，主人來疾。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If there is a cloud shaped like a wooden pestle, seven feet long, rising straight toward the country corresponding to the moon's position in the star system, it indicates that the ruler of that country will die. Jing Fang's *Yi Fei Hou* says: If white clouds form the shape of a wooden pestle, seven feet long, rising straight toward the country corresponding to the moon's position in the star system, it indicates the death of the ruler; if the handle of the pestle is straight and faces the moon, it indicates the death of the queen; if the pestle is inserted into the moon, the queen will suffer the calamity; if there is a 'ear' on the moon, a short light appendage beside the moon, it indicates that the defending party will face urgent difficulties.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月始出時，有雲居其中，如禽獸狀，其名曰綦婁。甲乙見東方，受之；丙丁見南方，受之；戊己見中央，受之；庚辛見西方，受之；任癸見北方，受之；受者，受其害。”

The *Yellow River Chart: Imperial View of Delight* says: When the moon first rises, if there is a cloud stopping within the moon's circle, forming the shape of an animal or beast, it is called "Qi Lou." If it appears in the east on a Jia or Yi day, the east will bear the consequence; if it appears in the south on a Bing or Ding day, the south will bear the consequence; if it appears in the center on a Wu or Ji day, the center will bear the consequence; if it appears in the west on a Geng or Xin day, the west will bear the consequence; if it appears in the north on a Ren or Gui day, the north will bear the consequence. What is meant by "bearing the consequence" is to suffer the calamity it brings.

《荊州占》曰：“月下有氣，如人相隨者，是謂惡成。侯王有坐之者，有分國。”《荊州占》曰：“月中有雲，如人行者，臣害主；兩主爭，客勝；有三人，天維絕，主人必更。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月旁有白雲，大如杵者三，抵月，期六十日；外有戰，破軍，死將。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If there is cloud resembling people following one after another under the moon, this is called "evil formation." It indicates that someone within the royal court will be punished for a crime, and also signifies the division of territory. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: If there are clouds within the moon's circle, resembling a person walking, it indicates a minister plotting against the sovereign. If two figures are fighting, the guest force will win. If three figures appear, it signifies the disruption of the fundamental principles governing heaven and earth, and the ruling power must be replaced. The *He River Chart Imperial Survey* says: If there are three clouds of white clouds, as large as wooden mallets, beside the moon, blocking the moon's circle, this portends a period of sixty days. It indicates warfare outside the realm, the defeat of the army, and the death of the general.

《荊州占》曰：“月始出，有黑雲貫月，名曰激雲。不出三日，異雨有害人者，客且至。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月旁多赤雲，如人頭，大戰多；白為風，黑為雨。”《荊州占》曰：“有赤雲、黑雲交臨，月當其國，亡軍。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月旁有白雲一，黑雲二，蒼雲一，其大如厚布，抵貫月，圍城、拔邑。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon first rises, if there are dark clouds crossing the moon's disk, this is called "Ji Yun." Within three days, there will be unusual rain that harms people, and enemy troops will arrive. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: If there are many red clouds around the moon, shaped like human heads, this indicates frequent major battles; white clouds indicate wind, black clouds indicate rain. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If red clouds and black clouds intermingle and cover the moon, the country facing the moon will suffer military defeat. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: If there is one white cloud, two black clouds, and one苍 cloud around the moon, all thick and large like thick cloth, blocking and passing through the moon's disk, this indicates the occurrence of siege and the capture of cities.

《高宗占》曰：“青雲挾月，是謂賊害，王受其殃，歲為五穀不熟；赤去挾月，是謂仇賊；黃雲挾月，女主有戮死者，期不出三十日；白雲挾月，其國君遇賊；黑雲挾月，陰雨逾時。”

The "Gaozong Zhàn" says: When a blue cloud surrounds the moon on both sides, this is called "zéi hài," indicating the king will suffer calamity, and that year the five grains will not be ripe; when a red cloud surrounds the moon on both sides, this is called "chóu zéi," indicating a conflict or enemy attack; when a yellow cloud surrounds the moon, it signifies that the female ruler or one side will have someone killed, and the event will occur within thirty days; when a white cloud surrounds the moon, it indicates the ruler of that country will suffer from an attack; when a black cloud surrounds the moon, it indicates continuous rain for a period longer than the season.

《荊州占》曰：“月中有黑氣，大如桃若李，臣有蔽主明者。”京氏《易傳》曰：“有黑雲，狀如群羊豕，如飛烏，如鳴雞，在月及月旁。三日王日不雨，匈奴兵起。”京房《易傳》曰：“赤氣覆月如血光，大旱，人民飢千里。”《荊州占》曰：“常以十四日夜候月，中有氣，如飛烏；其野無居者。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: If there is black mist in the moon's circle, large or small, resembling a peach or a lychee, it indicates that a minister or subject will obscure the sovereign's discernment. Jing Fang's Book of Changes says: If there is black cloud, shaped like a flock of sheep and pigs, like flying birds, like a crowing chicken, appearing within or around the moon's circle, then within three days if the King Day does not rain, the Xiongnu will mobilize troops. Jing Fang's Book of Changes also says: If red mist covers the moon, resembling a bloody light, it presages a great drought, and within a thousand li, the people will suffer from famine. The Zhongjiao Divination says: Usually, on the night of the fourteenth day of each month, one should watch the moon. If there is a mist in the moon, shaped like a flying bird, then the region corresponding to that area will be uninhabited.

《尚書金櫃》曰：“視不明，聽不聰，則雲氣五色，蔽日月之明。無救，則群臣謀殺，關梁不通。其救，闢四門，求仁賢。”《春秋感精符》曰：“諸氣之出，皆歷日月旁，天子國君之害也。期如日蝕遠近之符。”《荊州占》曰：“凡諸氣，日月有變，不出兩日；大雨吉，大雨皆凶，小雨無益。”

The Shangshu Jin Gui says: When the sovereign fails to understand clearly and cannot hear distinctly, the clouds will manifest five colors and block the brightness of the sun and moon. If no measures are taken to appease and save, the ministers will plot to kill the sovereign, and the passes and bridges will be impassable. The method of appeasement is to open the gates of the four directions and widely seek virtuous and benevolent men. The Chūnqiū Gǎnjīngfú says: All kinds of clouds appearing must pass by the sun and moon, which is harmful to the emperor and the sovereign; the time of the occurrence corresponds with the duration used in predicting solar eclipses. The Jingzhou Zhan says: Whenever various clouds cause changes in the sun and moon, the prediction will not be accurate within two days; heavy rain is auspicious, but heavy rain is also ominous, while light rain brings no benefit (the original text here presents two conflicting views, indicating possible errors or omissions).

《河圖》曰：“月生齒，主見期。（闕×××××××）《春秋文曜鉤》曰：“趙有君，尹吏，日月生齒，在畢宿；主見欺大，《星占》曰：子殺父，臣刺君，期歲二月，有兵患。”（宋均注曰：“月，太陰之精也，屬水，水生於金；畢、金精也，水齒之臣子殺逆之象也。畢又為邊兵，畢主八月，其沖則二月，兵患於此發也。）

The Yellow River Chart says: When the moon emits tooth-like light, it indicates the death of the sovereign. (The original text here is missing seven characters.) The Spring and Celestial Stars Hook says: There is a sovereign in Zhao, and there is a minister in charge of affairs; when the sun and moon emit tooth-like light, located in the Net mansion, the sovereign will be greatly deceived. The Star Divination says: This portends a son killing his father, and a minister killing his sovereign, occurring in the second lunar month, with military calamity. (The original commentary cites Eastern Han scholar Song Juan: The moon is the essence of the Wealth and Mother stars, belonging to water, which is generated by metal; the Net mansion is the essence of metal, water generating teeth, which is the image of a minister committing rebellion. The Net mansion also governs military affairs in the border regions; the Net mansion is in charge of the eighth month, and the month opposing it is the second month, so the military calamity occurs in the second month.)

《荊州占》曰：“月生齒，人主有賊臣，王者偏左右，（闕××××）徐廣《歷記》曰：“隆安五年三月甲子，月生齒，在斗；占曰：‘月生齒，人主有賊臣，群下相賊（闕×××）《春秋感精符》曰：“月生齒，妻妾黜；外垂牙，主威歇。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the moon emits a tooth-like glow, it indicates that there is a minister intent on harming the sovereign, and the sovereign is overly trusting of his attendants. The historian Xu Guang of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, in his "Historical Records of Calendars," mentions that in the third month of the fifth year of Long'an during the reign of Emperor Jian of the Jin Dynasty, on the Jiazi day, the moon emitted a tooth-like glow, located in the Southern Dipper. The divination text says: "When the moon emits a tooth-like glow, it indicates that there is a minister intent on harming the sovereign, and the ministers will harm each other." The "Chunqiu Gan Jingfu" states: When the moon emits a tooth-like glow, it indicates that the wife and concubines will be dismissed. If the tooth-like glow extends outward downward, it indicates the decline of the sovereign's authority.

《考異郵》曰：“諸侯謀叛，則月生爪牙。”《荊州占》曰：“月生爪牙，國君遇賊，又曰月爪所指，四方煩若，有土功事。”《洛書》曰：“陪臣執命，王公望風，其將叛謀公卿，群下並附，諸侯歸心；則月舉足垂牙。”《河圖秘證》曰：“帝淫泆，政不平，則月生足。”

The "Kao Yi You" says: When the feudal lords plot rebellion, the moon will emit a light resembling claws. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When the moon emits claw-like light, it indicates the sovereign will suffer harm; it also says that the direction indicated by the moon's claws will experience unrest and disturbances, and there will be construction projects. The "Luoshu" says: Ministers will seize control of commands, and princes will only act according to others' faces; those who intend to rebel will seek positions of high officials, and the ministers will all follow them, with the feudal lords also turning to them; at this time, the moon will lift its foot and lower its teeth. The "He Tu Mi Zheng" says: When an emperor indulges in luxury and governs unjustly, the moon will emit feet.

《春秋緯》曰：“生足，君有過，后族擅權，月生足芒；有此類，則亡國也。”《荊州占》曰：“月生牙齒，天子有賊臣，群下自殘害。”郗萌曰：“月生爪牙，主賞罰不行，偏任兵起；招賢明，奪強國，兵勢則已。”《海中占》曰：“月生爪牙，人生偏，左右遇賊，有刺客；各在中分。”

The Spring Annals says: When the moon gives birth to feet, it indicates the ruler has faults; when the moon gives birth to feet with芒, it means the maternal relatives dominate power, and this omen will lead to the country's downfall. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon gives birth to teeth, it signifies there is a minister who intends to harm the Son of Heaven, and ministers will fight each other. Xi Meng says: When the moon gives birth to claws and teeth, it indicates that rewards and punishments cannot be properly implemented, and the ruler is overly trusting of one side, leading to military conflicts; if the ruler can recruit virtuous talents and weaken the strength of powerful states, the military situation will subside. The Sea Divination says: When the moon gives birth to claws and teeth, it indicates that human affairs are biased and improper, and the ruler's attendants will suffer from bandits, with assassins appearing; the specific verification should be determined according to the left, central, and right positions of the moon's halo.

《春秋運斗樞》曰：“后族擅權，月生芒。”《洛書摘芒闢》曰：“月盈而生芒，後黨成輩，且害其主。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“月垂芒，國亂憂在公；禍大作，兵敗北。”夏氏曰：“月上有黃芒，君福昌；一曰皇后有喜。”《荊州占》曰：“月生角，天下兵，國將受殃。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月生四日，月兩角刺如矛狀，其野有殺其君者，且廢之；其上角大者，君上勝；其下角大者，臣下勝。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars says: if the royal family seizes power, the moon will sprout芒刺. The Luo Writing Excerpts on芒刺 says: when the moon is full and sprouts芒刺, it indicates that the queen's faction has formed a group and will plot against their sovereign. The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars also says: when the moon hangs with芒刺, it signifies national disorder and calamity falling upon the royal house; great turmoil arises, and the army will retreat in defeat. The Xia commentary says: if there is a yellow芒 on the moon, it signifies the sovereign's prosperity; another interpretation says it indicates the queen's good news. The Jingzhou Divination says: if the moon sprouts horns, it indicates warfare in the world and the country will suffer calamity. The Yellow River Chart Imperial View says: on the fourth day after the moon appears, if the moon's two horns sprout spear-like芒刺, it indicates that someone in that region will kill his sovereign and depose him; if the upper horn is larger, the sovereign will prevail; if the lower horn is larger, the minister will prevail.

《荊州占》曰：“月生刺，在一日，是謂賊；賊生中國。月二日生刺，是謂隱，其女子卒，有陰疾。月三日生刺，是謂內傷大陽，是謂天芒。月四日生刺，是謂不明，是謂蔽光。月五日生刺，是謂音蕩，當有訛言者。月六日生刺，是謂內虛，是謂去邑。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon has a blemish, if it occurs on the first day of the month, it is called "Zei," indicating bandits will arise in the Central Plains. If it occurs on the second day, it is called "Yin," indicating a woman may die suddenly or suffer from a hidden illness. If it occurs on the third day, it is called "injury to the Sun from within," also known as "Tian Mang." If it occurs on the fourth day, it is called "Mingbing," also known as "Bingguang." If it occurs on the fifth day, it is called "Yin Dang," indicating there will be people spreading rumors. If it occurs on the sixth day, it is called "Nei Xu," also known as "Qu Yi," mainly indicating the abandonment of cities and towns.

月七日生刺，是謂有剝，其地弱。月八日生刺，是謂割地在分，民其當者，名曰禽獲陽平。月九日生刺，其地民飢，民以食，弱其世，以兵行。月十日生刺，陰始盛，主女子執朝政。月十一日生刺，是謂憂土居，老幼穴處。月十二日生刺，其地有以陰死者。

At the seventh day, a thorn appears, which is called "having a peel," indicating that the power of that place is weakened. At the eighth day, a thorn appears, which is called "the land should be ceded within its proper territory, to be borne by the people," named "capturing the yang peace." At the ninth day, a thorn appears, indicating that the people in that place suffer from famine, and in order to seek food, they weaken their ancestral enterprises, and thus resort to warfare. At the tenth day, a thorn appears, indicating the beginning of the strengthening of yin energy, with women taking control of the government. At the eleventh day, a thorn appears, which is called "grief in dwelling," with the elderly and children having to live in caves. At the twelfth day, a thorn appears, indicating that someone in that place dies due to private matters.

月十三日生刺，是謂始強，得地。月十四日生刺，是謂不利，其女君傷下。月十五日生刺，是謂盛強，其強地多兵。月十六日生刺，是謂內弱，大臣殺其主。月十七日生刺，是謂威法，主有流兵。月十八日生刺，是謂君瘟，死。月十九日生刺，是謂陽衰陰治，女子執事。

On the thirteenth day of the month, the prick is called "Initial Strength," indicating the acquisition of land. On the fourteenth day, the prick is called "Unfavorable," indicating harm inflicted by the female ruler upon her subordinates. On the fifteenth day, the prick is called "Full Strength," indicating that the powerful side will have military conflicts. On the sixteenth day, the prick is called "Internal Weakness," indicating that a minister will kill his sovereign. On the seventeenth day, the prick is called "Authority and Law," indicating the presence of wandering troops. On the eighteenth day, the prick is called "The Sovereign Contracts an Epidemic," indicating death.

月二十日生刺，是謂地有土功。月二十一日生刺，是謂千里外聚，其都有土功。月二十二日生刺，是謂始衰。貴人多死者。月二十三日生刺，是謂陰盛，女子為王。月二十四日生刺，是謂中有大謀。月二十五日生刺，是謂隱蔽，是謂佚殃。月二十六日生刺，是謂感，多憂在內謀。月二十七日生刺，是謂大飢。月二十八日生刺，是謂竟，城數政。月二十九日生刺，是謂內亂，是謂自伐。”

《荊州占》曰：“月初生小，而形廣大者，月有水災。”《海中占》曰：“月大而體小者，旱；有氣色非常，皆為皇后陰謀事。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon first appears, though its shape is small, its light appears broad and vast, indicating that there will be flooding in this month. The *Haizhong Divination* says: If the moon appears large but is actually small in substance, it indicates drought; if there are also abnormal colors, it suggests there will be conspiracies within the imperial harem.

京氏《易妖占》曰：“月毀為三四五六，見天下亂。”《荊州占》曰：“月分為兩，國無道，君失天下。”《河圖占》曰：“地淪月散，必有立王。”京氏《易妖占》曰：“月自天墮，有道之臣亡。”京房《易妖占》曰：“月出地中，庶民為王公。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: When the moon breaks into three, four, five, or six pieces, it is a sign of great chaos throughout the world. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the moon splits into two halves, it indicates that the country is without virtue, and the ruler will lose the world. The "He Tu Zhan" says: When the earth sinks and the moon disperses, a new ruler will surely rise. Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: When the moon falls from the sky, it signifies the death of a virtuous minister. Jing Fang's "Yi Yao Zhan" says: When the moon rises from the earth, it indicates that common people will become princes and dukes.

《易緯辨終篇》曰：“月晝見，隱謀合，國雄逃。”京房曰：“月晝見，必有亡國。”京氏《對災異》曰：“月若晝明者，奸邪並作，專明擅君之朝。”京房《對災異》曰：“月若晝明者，月為臣，日為君。臣以明續君黨，當在其時；不可與君用力，含穢以舒刑。

The *Bi Zhong Chapter* of the *Yi Wei* says: When the moon appears in the day, it indicates that secret plots have already been carried out, and heroes within the country will flee. Jing Fang says: When the moon appears in the day, there will certainly be the downfall of a state. In *Jing Fang's Response to Disasters and Anomalies*, it says: If the moon is still bright during the day, it indicates that wicked people will rise together, seizing the wisdom and monopolizing the authority of the sovereign's court. In *Jing Fang's Response to Disasters and Anomalies*, it says: If the moon is still bright during the day—know that the moon is the minister, and the sun is the sovereign; the minister should use his own brightness to connect with the sovereign's followers. He should remain within his proper time and not compete with the sovereign for power. Instead, he should tolerate filth and ease punishments.

今晝明者，奸邪並作，專明擅君之朝。不救，則失其行而毀矣。其救也，出退強臣，斷奸佞，近直臣，親賢良，則月得其行，不可專明矣。”《洛書》曰：“月與大星並出，晝見，同謂爭明；大國弱，小國強，有立侯王者。”

Now that the daylight is still so bright, this indicates that wicked people are all rising up, monopolizing wisdom and acting independently in the court of the sovereign. If no measures are taken to appease and save the situation, the moon will lose its regular path and eventually be damaged. The method of appeasement and salvation is: expel the domineering ministers, cut off the cunning and deceitful, approach the upright officials, and associate with the virtuous men. In this way, the moon will return to its normal course and will no longer shine alone. The Luo Writing says: when the moon and the great star appear together, visible even in daylight, this is also called "competing for brightness"; it signifies that the great state will weaken while the small states will grow stronger, and some people will be appointed as marquises and kings.

石氏曰：“月漢盈不盈，君侵臣，不則有旱災。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon should be full but is not full, the sovereign will encroach upon the rights and titles of his ministers, or there will be a drought.

《荊州占》曰：“月當朔而不朔，國有大喪。月當晦而不盡，所宿國亡地。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: If the moon reaches the new moon phase but does not align with the sun, meaning it does not share the same degree and disappears, it indicates a great mourning in the country. If the moon reaches the last quarter phase but its light has not yet faded, it indicates that the country corresponding to that lunar mansion will lose its territory.

《荊州占》曰：“月生六日而弦，大臣為政，不用主命。”《荊州占》曰：“月生七日而弦，主人勝客；不勝，主人將死。”《荊州占》曰：“月未當弦而弦，是謂兵起；當弦不弦，國有大兵。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the moon becomes bright on the sixth day, it becomes a crescent moon, indicating that ministers will control government affairs and not carry out the orders of the sovereign. The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the moon becomes bright on the seventh day, it becomes a crescent moon, indicating that the defending side will be stronger than the attacking side; if they cannot win, the general of the defending side will die. The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the moon has not yet reached the time to become a crescent moon but becomes one, this is called military action; when the moon reaches the time to become a crescent moon but does not, it indicates major military conflicts within the country.

《郗萌占》曰：“不當上弦而弦，國兵起。”《荊州占》曰：“未當下弦而弦，臣下多奸。”《荊州占》曰：“月生八日而弦，天下大安；八日而不弦，攻人城者不勝。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月十日不弦，以戰不勝，主將死；當弦弦也，是謂大安。”

Xi Meng's divination says: Before the time of the waxing moon, the moon becomes a crescent, indicating that there will be military action within the country. The Jingzhou divination says: Before the time of the waning moon, the moon becomes a crescent, indicating that ministers and officials will have many deceitful actions. The Jingzhou divination also says: When the moon reaches the eighth day and becomes a crescent, it indicates great peace throughout the world; if by the eighth day the moon has not become a crescent, it indicates that the side attacking another's city will not win. The He Tu Di Lan Xi says: If by the tenth day the moon has not become a crescent, it indicates that warfare will not be successful and the general will die; if at the proper time the moon becomes a crescent, this is called great security.

《荊州占》曰：“月十四日而望，主更令；期一年；十五日而望，主安久長，天下和，人民歌樂以行。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月未當望而望，是謂趣兵，以攻人城者大昌。當望不望，以攻人城者有殃，所宿之國，亡地。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon is full on the fourteenth day, it indicates the ruler will change his policies, and this will come to pass within a year. When the moon is full on the fifteenth day, it signifies stability and longevity, with the whole world in harmony and the people singing and dancing in joy. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: When the moon becomes full before its appointed time, this is called "qu bing," which signifies a sign of hastening military action. The side that attacks another's city will become prosperous. However, if the moon is not full on its appointed day, the side that attacks another's city will suffer misfortune, and the country corresponding to the moon's position will lose territory.

《荊州占》曰：“月十六日而望，主不昌，更立公王，期十年。”（此謂不依曆數而望，他皆仿此。）《易萌氣樞》曰：“月當滿不滿，君侵苫；當毀不毀，臣凌君，君侵臣，則大旱之災；臣湊君，則有兵水之難。大進月盈，則有人君之憂；縮，則有臣下之害。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon reaches the sixteenth day, it is full, indicating that the ruler will not flourish, and another prince or king will be established, corresponding to a period of ten years. (Original note: This refers to the moon being full without following the number of days predicted by the calendar; the other entries should be interpreted in the same way.) The book "Yi Meng Qi Shu" says: If the moon should be full but is not, it indicates the ruler is encroaching upon the ministers; if the moon should be waning but is not, it indicates the ministers are oppressing the ruler. If the ruler encroaches upon the ministers, there will be a great drought; if the ministers oppress the ruler, there will be military conflicts and floods. If the moon moves ahead greatly and becomes full, there will be troubles for the ruler; if the moon lags behind and becomes contracted, there will be calamities for the ministers.

《郗萌占》曰：“月行急，未當中而中，未當望而望，皆為急。兵大戰，軍破，將死，大臣執政，逼君，女主將有擅權，天下亂，易宗廟。”

The Xi Meng Divination states: When the moon moves quickly, arriving at the meridian before it should, and becoming full before its time, these are signs of 'urgency'. This indicates large-scale warfare, the defeat of armies, the death of generals, ministers seizing power and forcing the sovereign, a female ruler taking control, chaos throughout the land, and the change of the ancestral temples' sovereignty.

《春秋漢含孳》曰：“妻怨成，無詘制之者，則月滿不虧，有女妃虐。”（宋均曰：不虧不缺也，虐若趙飛燕妒殺皇子。）《荊州占》曰：“月當毀不毀，陰事無形。”《黃帝占》曰：“月未當缺而缺，大臣滅，女主黜，諸侯世家絕。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han Dynasty and the Containing Nourishment says: When the wife's resentment has matured and no one can restrain her, the moon becomes full without waning, indicating that a female consort will exercise tyranny. (The original commentary cites Song Jun's explanation: 'Not waning' means not missing; 'tyranny' is like Zhao Feiyan's jealousy leading to the death of a prince.) The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon should wane but does not, it indicates hidden matters lurking without being revealed. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon wanes before it should, it indicates the death of a minister, the removal of a female ruler, and the extinction of noble families of the feudal lords.

《京房占》曰：“月當出而不出，有陰謀，有死王，天下亂。”《郗萌占》曰：“月生七日見者，天下有兵；十日見者，有大兵；十二日至十六日而後見者，天下有滅國。”《海中占》曰：“月出復沒，天下亂。”

The Jing Fang divination text says: When the moon is supposed to appear but does not, it indicates there will be plots, the death of a king, and great chaos throughout the land. The Xi Meng divination text says: After the moon begins to brighten, if it becomes visible on the seventh day, there will be military conflicts; if it becomes visible on the tenth day, there will be large-scale military conflicts; if it becomes visible between the twelfth and sixteenth days, there will be the fall of states. The Hai Zhong divination text says: When the moon appears and then disappears, it indicates great chaos throughout the land.

京氏曰：“月再中，帝王窮。”《荊州占》曰：“月望而西缺，望後東缺，名曰反月；臣下不奉法，制度侵奪主勢；無救，為湧水，兵起其沖；其救也，正刑罰，誅奸滑，任賢而稽疑，定謀事成，即月變為復矣。”

Jing Fang said: If the moon appears twice in the middle heaven within a single night, it indicates that the sovereign's destiny is exhausted. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If before the full moon the moon wanes from the west and after the full moon it wanes from the east, this is called "reverse moon"; it signifies that ministers do not abide by the laws and regulations, and take advantage of the system to encroach upon the sovereign's authority; if no measures are taken to appease this, there will be a great flood, and military actions will arise from the direction opposite to the moon. The method to appease this is to correct punishments, eliminate wicked people, appoint virtuous officials, and thoroughly investigate difficult matters. Once the deliberation is settled and the matter is accomplished, the abnormality of the moon will return to the normal course.

《郗萌占》曰：“月出非其所，行非其路，皆女主失行，姦通內外，陰國兵強，中國人飢，下欲僭權。”《海中占》曰：“月生正偃，天下有兵合，無兵主人凶。”京房《易飛候》曰：“正月有偃月，必有喜。”

Xi Meng's divination says: When the moon rises from an inappropriate position and travels along an incorrect path, it indicates that the female ruler is improper in her conduct, there are secret alliances between palace insiders and outsiders, the country with Yin characteristics has strong military power, the people in the Central Plains suffer from famine, and the lower ranks desire to exceed their authority. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon is newly born and lies on its back with its two horns pointing upward like an inverted roof tile, it indicates that there will be a gathering of armies across the land; if there is no military action, the defending side will face misfortune. Jing Fang's "Book of Changes: Flying Divination" says: If an inverted moon appears in the first lunar month, there will certainly be good news.

黃帝曰：“月始生，見南方而蝕者，糴大貴。”《荊州占》曰：“月始生天中者，上謀下，其事不成。”

The Yellow Emperor said: When the moon first becomes bright and appears in the south, and an eclipse occurs, it indicates that grain prices will rise sharply. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the moon first becomes bright and appears directly overhead, it indicates that those in power will scheme against those below, but this matter will not succeed.

京房《易傳》曰：“君弱而婦強，為陰所乘，則月並出。”京氏曰：“月並出，為並明，天下有兩王立。又云相去二寸，臣作亂，滅其主。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“主勢奪於后族，群妃之黨橫僭為害，則月盈，並若兩月連出，妃黨交萌，若照同力，排滅王公。”郗萌曰：“月並出，相重，當有急兵至。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: When the ruler is weak and the woman is strong, being oppressed by the yin force, there will be a phenomenon of several moons rising together. Jing Fang says: When two moons appear together, it is called "bing ming," indicating that there will be two kings ruling together; he also says that when two moons are two inches apart, it signifies that ministers will rebel and overthrow their sovereign. The "Chun Qiu Yun Dou Shu" says: When the power of the ruler is taken by the maternal relatives, and the concubines' factions act improperly and harm the court, the moon appears full, even as if two moons appear consecutively. This is a sign of the concubine factions stirring up unrest, as if working together to shine brightly and eliminate the princes and dukes. Xi Meng says: When several moons appear together and overlap, there will be imminent military conflicts.

《荊州占》曰：“三月並見，其分有立諸侯而亡女主，有竟兩月並出，天下治兵，異姓大臣爭朝，勢為害王者，選能授之。月重出，皆為異兵殘害，為天下亂者，將有亡天下之象。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If three moons appear together, it indicates that a new feudal lord will be established in that region, and the female ruler will lose her position. If two moons always appear together, it signifies that the whole country will prepare for military campaigns, and ministers of different families will contend for power in the court, their strength sufficient to endanger the king. The king should select capable individuals and assign them important positions. When moons overlap, it portends harm from unusual forces, a sign of turmoil across the land, and an omen of losing the mandate of heaven.

（案漢成帝建始元年八月戊午，辰漏未盡二刻，兩月重見，京氏《易傳》曰：“君弱婦強，為陰所乘，則兩月並見。其後趙飛燕為皇后，姊娣專寵，殺害皇子，成帝不能禁，後皆誅滅之應也。

The original commentary notes: In the first year of Emperor Cheng of Han's Jianshi era, in the eighth month on the fifth day of the Wuwu stem, at the hour of the Dragon, the water clock still had two hours left. Two moons were visible at the same time. Jing Fang's "Yi Transmission" says: When the ruler is weak and women are strong, they are oppressed by yin energy, and thus two moons will appear simultaneously. Later, Zhao Feiyan became empress, and her two sisters monopolized the emperor's favor, killed the prince, and Emperor Cheng could not stop them. Eventually, they were all executed, which was the fulfillment of the celestial phenomenon on that day.

又按故太史令李淳風雲：隋大業九年正月二十七日，曉起東方，有二月見，相去二尺許，在箕斗之間，眾俱見之。俄而楊玄盛於黎陽起逆、朱變、管宗義殘賊江南，天下因此遂兵賊相繼，至於滅亡，此尤效。”）

According to the late Grand Astronomer Li Chunfeng, in the ninth year of the Great Peace era of the Sui Dynasty, on the 27th day of the first lunar month, at dawn, the emperor rose to look towards the east and saw two moons appearing, about two feet apart, located between the Winnowing Basket mansion and the Dipper mansion. Everyone present saw this. Soon after, Yang Xuan Gan (the original text says 'Yang Xuan Sheng') rebelled in Liyang, and Zhu Xie, Guan Chong (the original text says 'Zhu Bian, Guan Zongyi') and others devastated the Jiangnan region. From then on, the country was plagued by continuous warfare and banditry, until the fall of the Sui dynasty. This is a particularly clear fulfillment of the prophecy.

《海中占》曰：“月兩弦中間，月光盛而眾多，或二三，或四五，及至十月並見，皆為天下分裂，天子失政，政在諸侯自立。”（諸月傍氣象皆與日占大同。）《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“十月並出，不必外，強猾出。”（宋均曰：月為大臣今如是，大臣必多爭，併為奸稱疾也。）

The "Sea Divination" says: Between the waxing and waning phases of the moon, when the moonlight is bright and the moon appears numerous, either two or three, or four or five, or even as many as ten moons appearing together, this portends the fragmentation of the realm, the loss of power by the Son of Heaven, and the transfer of authority to self-proclaimed feudal lords. (Original commentary: The various phenomena associated with the moon's surroundings are generally similar to the rules for divining days.) The "Spring Hidden Deep Pool" says: When ten moons appear together, the calamity does not necessarily come from outside, but rather from the emergence of strong and cunning individuals. (Original commentary citing Song Jun: The moon symbolizes ministers; when such a lunar phenomenon occurs, ministers will certainly have conflicts, all acting wickedly and pretending to be ill to stay away.)

《郗萌占》曰：“東方小月承大月，小國毀；大月承小月，大國伐之為主，客在西方。小月承大月，小邑勝；大月承小月，大邑勝。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“小月承大月，群奸在宮，當此之時，主若贅旒。”（宋均注曰：喻見制、在下也）大月承小月，近臣起，讒人橫，陪臣執命，三公望鳳。”（宋均曰，望風者，陪臣見而事之也。）

The "Xi Meng Divination" says: In the east, a small moon supporting a large moon indicates that a small state will be destroyed; a large moon supporting a small moon indicates that a great state will attack and take control, with the guest army in the west. A small moon supporting a large moon indicates that a small town will win; a large moon supporting a small moon indicates that a large city will win. The "Chunqiu Yun Doushu" says: A small moon supporting a large moon indicates that a group of villains will occupy the palace, and at this time, the ruler is like a jade pendant hanging on a crown, merely holding the position. (Original note cites Song Jun's explanation: This is a metaphor for the ruler being controlled by others and holding a subordinate position.) A large moon supporting a small moon indicates that a close minister will rise to power, and those who spread false words will be rampant, the attendants will control the orders, and the Three Dukes can only act according to others' faces. (The original text says "wang feng" but should be "wang feng".) (Original note cites Song Jun's explanation: The so-called "wang feng" means that when the attendants appear, the Three Dukes will rush to flatter them.)

《黃帝占》曰：“月珥而冠者，天子大喜，或大風。”《荊州占》曰：“月珥且戴，不出百日，主有喜。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月珥，期六十日，兵起。”京房《易傳》曰：“月珥，期三十日，兵起。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When a crescent moon has a ear-like shape called 'Er' beside it, and there is also an arc-shaped cloud covering the moon, forming a 'Guan', this indicates that the emperor will have great joy or there will be a strong wind. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the crescent moon has 'Er', and also has 'Dai', which is a short cloud lying flat above the moon's surface, there will be good news within a hundred days. The Emperor's Enjoyment says: When the crescent moon has 'Er', it should be expected within sixty days, and there will be military actions. Jing Fang's Book of Changes says: When the crescent moon has 'Er', it should be expected within thirty days, and there will be military actions.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月不暈而珥，人主有喜；兵在外，亦有喜。”《荊州占》曰：“月昏而珥者，兵半起；夜過半珥者，邊地恐。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“主排公侯狡猾，起尊能主，則月珥兩。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: If the moon does not produce a halo but only produces "er", it indicates that the sovereign will have good news; if the army is fighting abroad, it is also a sign of good news. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon produces "er" at dusk, it indicates that military affairs have begun; if the moon produces "er" after midnight, it indicates that people in the border regions are anxious. The "Spring and Autumn Movement of the Stars and Orbs" says: If the sovereign excludes cunning marquises and employs and honors capable people to assist himself, the moon will produce one "er" on each side.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月珥：青、憂也，赤、兵起，黃、喜也；黑、失國，期皆不出三年。”《高宗占》曰：“月兩珥，十日雨；三珥，國喜；四珥，女主喪；又曰：人主諸侯立。”《荊州占》曰：“月珥，大水；又曰：“月四提，天子無妻，若國有喪；月六提，天子游天下。”（提猶珥也）《荊州占》曰：“月珥且戴，不出百日，有大喜。”

The "Heavenly Map of the Emperor's Delight and Joy" from the "Wěi Shū" says that the crescent-shaped light appearing on both sides of the moon is called "ěr", and if the "ěr" appears in a blue color, it indicates calamity; if red, it indicates the outbreak of warfare; if yellow, it indicates joy; if black, it indicates the loss of territory; and the fulfillment of these omens does not exceed three years. The "Gāozōng Zhàn" says that if two "ěr" appear simultaneously on the moon, there will be rain within ten days; if three "ěr" appear, the country will have good news; if four "ěr" appear, the monarch's principal wife will die; another interpretation says that the monarch will appoint another feudal lord. The "Jīngzhōu Zhàn" says that when the moon produces "ěr", it indicates a great flood; it also says that if four "tí" appear on the moon, the Son of Heaven will have no spouse, or there will be mourning in the state; if six "tí" appear, the Son of Heaven will tour the land. (Original book note: "tí" is another name for "ěr.") The "Jīngzhōu Zhàn" also says that if the moon produces "ěr" and there is also a rising aura above it, there will be great joy within a hundred days.

《春秋緯感精符》曰：“背璚以外圍月者，臣馳，縱叛逆，欲相殘賊，不和之氣也；天子偏左右。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月不暈有四璚，臣有謀，不成。”京房《易傳》曰：“月背璚，其國有反者。”劉向《鴻範傳》曰：“月背璚，臣欲為邪也，其色青中赤外，有芒刺，為謀；此數見，即國凶。且背且抱為不和，有欲為忠，有欲為逆者也。”

The *Spring and Autumn Wei* (*Chunqiu Wei*) says: The "back" aura and "juan" aura take the shape of a bow, surrounding the moon from the outside, symbolizing ministers who act recklessly, rebel, and wish to harm each other, indicating an atmosphere of discord between ruler and minister; the authority of the Son of Heaven will be transferred to the attendants on his left and right. "Juan" is the same as "jue," referring to the curved light around the moon, resembling a jade jue. The light that bends outward toward the moon is called "back," while the light that curves inward and embraces the moon is called "bao." The esoteric text *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: The moon does not produce a halo, but instead generates four "juan" auras, indicating that ministers have secret plots, but these plots will not succeed. Jing Fang's *Yi Zhuan* says: When the moon produces a "back" aura, there will be rebels in the region corresponding to that area. Liu Xiang's *Hongfan Zhuan* says: When the moon produces a "back" aura, it signifies that ministers intend to engage in improper actions; if this aura is blue on the inside and red on the outside, with sharp points, it indicates there is a plot; if it occurs repeatedly, the state will face danger. There is both an outward "back" aura and an inward "bao" aura, which is a sign of discord between ruler and minister, with some ministers wanting to be loyal and others wanting to rebel.

《荊州占》曰：“月與歲星，光明相逮，飢三年，糴貴，民流亡。”巫咸曰：“歲星與月同光，以其月月蝕，且以飢亡；一曰國以女樂亡。”《海中占》曰：“月與歲星同光，即有飢亡。”《黃帝占》曰：“月陵歲星，年多盜賊，刑獄煩。”京房《易傳》曰：“月與熒惑會，宿國王死。”《海中占》曰：“月與熒惑合，其國太子死，貴人復傷，凶；不可有為，若有內兵。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the light of the moon and the star of Jupiter meet and touch each other, it indicates continuous famine for three years, high grain prices, and the dispersal and flight of the people. The diviner Wu Xian of the Shang dynasty said: When the light of Jupiter and the moon are the same, an eclipse of the moon will occur that month, and the country will perish due to famine; another view is that the country will perish due to indulgence in music and women. The book "Hai Zhong Divination" says: When the light of the moon and Jupiter are the same, there will be famine and the downfall of the country. The book "Huangdi Divination" says: When the moon approaches and presses upon Jupiter, meaning that the moon is above and oppresses Jupiter, there will be many bandits and numerous legal cases in that year. Jing Fang's "Yi Transmission" says: When the moon and the planet Mars meet, the king corresponding to the constellation where they meet will die. The book "Hai Zhong Divination" says: When the moon and Mars meet, the crown prince of that country will die, and the nobleman will also suffer consecutive injuries, which is an ominous sign; at this time, there should be no action, otherwise there will be internal military disturbances.

《荊州占》曰：“月與五星熒惑合光，芒刺相及，其國有內亂，兵三年；又曰：“其國太子死，期三年。”巫咸曰：“月與熒惑同光，以其月月蝕，內有亂臣，且以飢亡。”《荊州占》曰：“月與填星合，芒刺相及，其國飢。”巫咸曰：“月與填星同光，以其月月蝕，且有以徭徙亡者。”京房《易傳》曰：“月與太白會宿，太子死。”《荊州占》曰：“月與太白聚合，宿其國，立太子，期不出一年。”《荊州占》曰：“月與太白合，其下兵大起。”巫咸曰：“太白與月同光，其月月蝕，且以兵亡。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon and the planet Zhonghuo (Mars) shine together, their bright rays touch each other, the country corresponding to that area will have internal disorder and warfare lasting three years; it also says that the crown prince of that country will die, and this will happen within three years. Wu Xian says: When the moon and Zhonghuo have the same color, there will be a lunar eclipse in that month, there will be a rebellious minister within the court, and the country will perish due to famine. "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon and Tianxing (Saturn) shine together, their bright rays touch each other, the country will suffer from famine. Wu Xian says: When the moon and Tianxing have the same color, there will be a lunar eclipse in that month, and there will be people who flee due to forced labor and migration. Jingfang's "Yi Transmission" says: When the moon and Taibai (Jupiter) appear in the same constellation, the crown prince will die. "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon and Taibai appear together, the country where they appear will appoint a crown prince, and this will happen within a year. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon and Taibai appear together, the area they correspond to will experience great military conflict. Wu Xian says: When Taibai and the moon have the same color, there will be a lunar eclipse in that month, and the country will perish due to warfare.

《荊州占》曰：“月與太白皆出，城守為賣城；聖主明王急便守城。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月與太白相過，月出其南，陽國受兵；月出其北，陰國受兵。”《海中占》曰：“太白出月右，陰國有謀；出左陽國有謀。月挾太白，諸侯將相謀不軌，太白出月下，芒相耀，君死民飢。”《荊州占》曰：“月戴太白，卒兵，期五日。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the moon and the bright star appear at the same time, those who guard the city will sell the city and defect; a wise king encountering this celestial phenomenon should urgently reinforce defenses. The apocryphal text He Tu Di Lan Xi says: When the moon and the bright star cross each other, if the moon passes south of the bright star, the southern state of yang will suffer military disaster; if the moon passes north of the bright star, the northern state of yin will suffer military disaster. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the bright star appears to the right of the moon, the state of yin will have conspiracies; when it appears to the left of the moon, the state of yang will have conspiracies. If the moon is flanking the bright star, the princes and ministers will have rebellious plots; if the bright star appears below the moon, with its bright light shining together with the moon's light, this indicates the death of the sovereign and famine among the people. The book Zhongzhou Zhan also says: When the moon is above the bright star, forming a crown-like shape, there will be sudden military disaster, which will occur within five days.

《巫咸占》曰：“月不盡三日，候太白，出東方，在月南，中國勝；在月北，中國不勝。”《巫咸占》曰：“月入月三日，太白出西方，在月南，皆海國敗；在北，皆海國勝。”《荊州占》曰：“月入月三日，太白失行，而月在北，太白在南，秦戰不勝。”《荊州占》曰：“秋冬，入月三日，太白出西方，居月北者，君強；月南，君弱。”

The Wu Xian Divination says: When a month is nearly over and only three days remain, observe the bright star. If the bright star rises from the east and is south of the moon, the Central States will prevail; if it is north of the moon, the Central States will not prevail. The Wu Xian Divination also says: In the first three days of a month, if the bright star appears from the west and is south of the moon, all coastal states will fail; if it is north of the moon, all coastal states will prevail. The Jingzhou Divination says: In the first three days of a month, if the bright star deviates from its usual path and the moon is north while the bright star is south, the state of Qin will not prevail in battle. The Jingzhou Divination also says: In the autumn and winter seasons, in the first three days of a month, if the bright star appears from the west and is north of the moon, the ruler will be strong; if it is south of the moon, the ruler will be weak.

《荊州占》曰：“入月三日，月刺太白陽，大邑拔，小邑驅掠；刺太白陰，兵在外者，不及入，在內者，不及出。南方為陽，北方為陰。”《巫感占》曰：“辰星與月同光，其月月蝕，且以女樂亡。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星與月光相逮，其國水。”《海中占》曰：“月與辰星相遇，所合宿雨水，敗。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月與辰星合宿，其國亡地，君王死。”《荊州占》曰：“月與辰星合，所宿之國，兵起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: During the first three days of a month, if the moon's horn points to the south of the bright star, a large city will be captured and small cities will be plundered; if it points to the north of the bright star, the armies outside will not be able to retreat in time, and the armies inside will not be able to mobilize in time. The following is the original commentary: The south belongs to yang, and the north belongs to yin. The *Wuxian Divination* (the original text says "Wugan Divination," with "g an" being a homonym for "xian") says: When the water star (Venus) has the same brightness as the moon, there will be a lunar eclipse, and the country will perish due to indulgence in female musicians. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the water star and the moon shine together, the country will suffer from floods. The *Haizhong Divination* says: When the moon and the water star meet, the place corresponding to the star will have heavy rain causing disaster and crops will be ruined. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: When the moon and the water star meet in the same star, the country will lose its territory and the king will die. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon and the water star combine, the country corresponding to the star will have military conflicts.

《巫咸占》曰：“五星入月中，人主死；不出，臣死，非將即相也。近期一年，遠期三年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯五星，栗貴；二犯之，數貴。”《海中占》曰：“月貫五星，天子坐之。”《郗萌占》曰：“金火與月相近，其間六寸，天下有兵；間尺，天下憂兵；五尺無害。”《荊州占》曰：“五星入月中，其野有逐君，大臣賊主；月蝕五星，若薄若合，皆其分有災。”

The Wu Xian Divination says: When the five planets enter the moon's orbit, the sovereign will die; if the stars enter and do not leave, the one who dies is a minister, either a general or a prime minister. Those that occur nearby will be fulfilled within a year, while those that occur further away will be fulfilled within three years. The纬书 "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's View of Joy" says: When the moon invades the five planets, grain prices will rise; if it invades twice, the grain prices will rise again. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon passes through the five planets, the emperor will bear this calamity. The Han dynasty diviner Xi Meng said: When the bright star (Jupiter) and the malefic of violence (Mars) are close to the moon, separated by six inches, there will be military affairs in the world; separated by one foot, the world will be anxious about war; separated by five feet, there will be no harm. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the five planets enter the moon's orbit, the region corresponding to that planet will have an event of expelling the sovereign, and ministers will harm the sovereign; when the moon obscures the five planets, or approaches closely, or aligns with them, it indicates calamity in the region corresponding to that planet.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“歲星入月中，其國有逐相。”《春秋緯文曜鉤》曰：“歲星入月中，以妃黨之譖去。《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入月中，不出一旬，天下有大災，入君不平，天星墜，若雨霧，不出一年，糴什長，八不出，二年，天下亡徙為亂，若有野兵。”《海中占》曰：“歲星蝕月，有大喪，女主死，臣殺君，易位。”《荊中占》曰：“歲星入月中，大臣賊其主。”

The book of纬 (supplementary) texts, "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the Stars," says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, the country will have an incident involving the removal of a chancellor. The "Spring Annals: The Hook of the Celestial Stars" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, the chancellor will be removed due to slander from the queen's faction. (The text following the quotation is missing in the source.) The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, within ten days, the world will suffer a great calamity, the ruler will feel discontent, there will be a falling star in the sky, or heavy fog will fall like rain; within a year, the price of grain will rise tenfold (the words "eight not coming out" are suspected to be a mistake or omission in the original text); within two years, people throughout the world will flee and migrate, gathering to rebel, or there will be military actions arising from the countryside. The "Sea Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter covers the moon, there will be a great mourning, the female ruler will die, and a minister will kill the king and take his place. The "Jingzhong Divination" (the source text reads "Jingzhong Divination") says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, the ministers will harm their ruler.

《荊州占》曰：“月犯歲星，其國民飢死；一曰主死，期三年。”（按大興四年十二月丁亥，犯歲星，在房。占曰：其國兵饑民流亡；永昌元年，王敦率領江荊之眾來攻京都，六軍敗績不能有以拒戰，於是殺護軍，將軍周凱、尚書令刁協、縹騎軍戴淵，又鎮北將軍劉隗出奔，四月又殺湘州刺史譙王丞、鎮南將軍卓閏，闔十二月元帝崩。）《荊州占》曰：“月犯歲星，其國疾。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades the planet Jupiter, the people of that country will starve to death; another interpretation says the king will die, and this will happen after three years. The original commentary says: In the fourth year of Emperor Yuan of Eastern Jin's Daxing era, in the twelfth lunar month on the day of Dinghai, the moon invaded the planet Jupiter, located in the constellation Fangsu. The divination text says that the country will suffer from military strife and famine, with the people scattering and fleeing. By the first year of Yongchang, Wang Dun led his troops from Jiangzhou and Jingzhou to attack the capital, the imperial army collapsed and was unable to resist, so they killed the military commander General Zhou Yi (the source text says "Zhou Kai"), the Minister of the Secretariat Diao Xie, and the General of the Cavalry Dai Yuan. The General of the Northern Army Liu Wei fled. In the fourth lunar month, they killed the governor of Xiangzhou, Prince Qiao Wang Sima Cheng, and the General of the Southern Army Gan Zhuo (the source text says "Zhu Run"). By the leap twelfth lunar month, Emperor Yuan of Jin died. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon invades the planet Jupiter, the country will suffer from an epidemic.

《春秋緯元命包》曰：“歲星逆犯月，法令散。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯歲星，其國飢一年二年乘之，主死。”《荊州占》曰：“月乘歲星，相死。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕歲星，有流民，不出十二年，國飢亡。”司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕歲星，其宿地飢若亡。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕歲星，其鄉大戰，大拔邑。”（按晉建，興三年正月乙卯，月掩歲星。在參，益州分也。六月鎮西將軍益州刺史周撫薨，十月梁州刺史入益州以叛，朱序率眾助刺史周楚討平之。）

The Spring Annals Brocade says: The planet of years moves retrograde and invades the moon — "retrograde" refers to the planet moving backward — the country's laws will become lax and disorganized. The Brocade text "Yellow River Chart Imperial Inspection Joy" says: When the moon invades the planet of years, that country will suffer a year of famine; if the moon continues to press upon it for two consecutive years, the king will die. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon presses upon the planet of years — "pressing upon" means to dominate from above — the prime minister will die. The "Yellow River Chart Imperial Inspection Joy" also says: When the moon obscures the planet of years, there will be a flow of refugees; within twelve years, the country will perish from famine. Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials Book" says: When the moon obscures the planet of years, famine or the fall of a state will occur in the region corresponding to that constellation. The "Yellow River Chart Imperial Inspection Joy" also says: When the moon obscures the planet of years, there will be a great battle, and cities will be attacked and captured. The original text's marginal note says: In the third year of Emperor Jianxing of Eastern Jin, in the first month, on the Yimao day, the moon obscured the planet of years, located in the Three Stars mansion, which is the region corresponding to Yizhou. In that same year, in June, the commander of the Western Commandery and governor of Yizhou, Zhou Fu, died; in October, the governor of Liangzhou entered Yizhou in rebellion, and Zhu Xü led his forces to assist Governor Zhou Chu in quelling the rebellion.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕歲星，邦主無，人人相食。”《荊州占》曰：“月吞歲星，其國十二歲而敗。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑入月中，憂在宮中，非賊乃盜也。有亂臣死相，若有戮者。”（按：《洪範傳》漢宣帝地節元年正月戊午夜，月食熒惑左角亢，亢為朝廷，憂在殿內，非其賊。有盜。有內亂、讒臣在傍，故將軍霍光妻與其子昆弟諸婿為待中諸曹，九卿太守皆謀反，伏誅。又晉太元十二年二月戊申熒惑入月，占曰：有亂臣死相，若有戮者；一曰女親為政。是時琅琊王輔政，王妃從兄國寶經姻暱受寵。又陳郡袁悅私媚苟進，交通主相，扇揚朋黨，十三年殺悅，是時主相有隙，亂皆興矣。）

The book *Jingzhou Zhuan* says: When the moon covers the planet Jupiter, the state will lose its ruler, and people will devour each other. *Jingzhou Zhuan* also says: When the moon swallows Jupiter, the country will perish within twelve years. The apocryphal text *Hetu Dili Xian* says: When the planet Mars enters the moon, calamity arises within the palace, not from outside invaders but from internal thieves; there will be rebellious ministers in court, a minister who should be executed, or someone who will be put to death. The following is the original commentary: According to Liu Xiang's *Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan Lun*, in the first month of Dijie year of Emperor Xuandi of Han, on the night of the fifth day of the fifth month, the moon covered Mars between the constellations Guo Xu and Kang Xu. The constellation Kang Xu governs the court, so the calamity occurs within the palace, not from external enemies but from internal conspirators, indicating internal strife and the presence of slanderous ministers. Later, the wife of the great general Huo Guang and her son, brother, and various sons-in-law who held positions such as Attendant and various officials, along with officials of the rank of the Nine Ministers and governors, conspired against the state and were executed. In the twelfth year of Taoyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the second month on the fifth day of the fifth month, Mars entered the moon, and the divination said there would be rebellious ministers, a minister who should be executed, or someone who would be put to death; another interpretation said that the maternal relatives of the emperor would be in power. At that time, Wang Wang was in charge of government affairs, and his wife's younger brother Wang Guobao was favored due to his marital connection. Also, Yuan Yue of Chenjun was fawning and seeking promotion, colluding with the emperor and the prime minister, inciting factions. In the thirteenth year of Taoyuan, Yuan Yue was executed; at that time, there was already a rift between the emperor and the prime minister, and the chaos originated from this.

《海中占》曰：“熒惑入月中，臣以戰不勝，內臣死。”《荊州占》曰：“火星入月中，臣賊其主。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑蝕月，讒臣貴，後宮有害女主者。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑入月中，及近月七寸之內，主人惡之；一曰讒臣在傍，主用邪。”巫咸曰：“熒惑居河若守之，月數其出間，百日兵多移。”巫咸曰：“熒惑犯月，戰，小吏死。”

The Sea of Divination says: If the Malefic of violence enters the moon, the ministers will not win in battle, and officials within the court will die. The Jingzhou Divination says: If the Malefic of violence enters the moon, the ministers will harm their sovereign. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the Malefic of violence obscures the moon, ministers who spread slander will gain power and prestige, and someone in the harem will plot against the female ruler. The Sea of Divination also says: If the Malefic of violence enters the moon, or approaches the moon within seven inches, the ruler of the country will face misfortune; another interpretation says that there will be a minister who spreads false words near the sovereign, and the sovereign will employ wicked ministers. Wu Xian says: If the Malefic of violence stays in the Milky Way or remains stationed there without moving, calculate its entry and exit according to the months; within one hundred days, there will be large-scale military movements. Wu Xian also says: If the Malefic of violence invades the moon, there will be warfare, and low-ranking officials will die in it.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯熒惑，國內降貴人，兵死。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月犯熒惑，天下有女主憂。”《荊州占》曰：“月戰勝之國，大將斗而死。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑貫月，陰國可伐，期不出三年，其國亂，貴人兵死，近期不出五年，其國受兵，遠期不出十年，而以兵亂亡也。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑觸月，上角為相，下角為將，中央為主。”

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Chart of the Emperor's Delight and Joy" says: When the moon invades the planet Mars, there will be a nobleman being demoted within the country, and some people will die from military calamities. Jing Fang's "Omen Divination" says: When the moon invades the planet Mars, there will be worries concerning a female ruler. The "Jingzhou Omen" says: When the moon and fire clash, even the victorious country will have its general die in battle. The "Heavenly Chart of the Emperor's Delight and Joy" says: When the planet Mars passes through the moon, the country with yin characteristics may be attacked; the event will occur within three years, the country will experience turmoil, and a nobleman will die from military calamities; if it is close, within five years, the country will suffer military calamities; if it is far, within ten years, it will be destroyed by military chaos. The "Ocean Divination" says: When the planet Mars touches the moon—"touch" means to meet and affect each other—touching the upper horn indicates the prime minister will suffer calamity, touching the lower horn indicates the general will suffer calamity, and touching the center indicates the sovereign will suffer calamity.

司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕熒惑，其宿地亂。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕熒惑，有白衣之事；又曰其國內敗，五年大兵。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕熒惑，有死相。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕火星，天下滅亡，期九年。《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕熒惑，其國以兵起，飢，又以亂亡。月以旦，相及太子當；晦以君當之。”劉向《洪範五行傳》曰：“月蝕熒惑在角、亢，憂在中宮，非賊而盜也；有內亂；一曰有死相，若戮者貴人，兵死讒臣在旁。”

Shi Ji's Tian Gao Shu by Sima Qian says: When the moon covers the planet Mars, there will be turmoil in the region corresponding to the constellation where the event occurs. Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the moon covers the planet Mars, there will be mourning events (the term 'white-cloth affair' refers to mourning); it also says that the country will suffer internal chaos, and there will be a great military conflict within five years. Jingzhou Zhan says: When the moon covers the planet Mars, there will be a minister who deserves death. Jingzhou Zhan also says: When the moon covers the planet Mars, the whole country will perish, and the event will occur after nine years. (The text following the quotation is missing in the source.) He Tu Di Lan Xi says: When the moon covers the planet Mars, the country will experience warfare, famine, and destruction due to turmoil; if the event occurs in the morning, it will be borne by the prime minister and the crown prince; if it occurs on the last day of the month, it will be borne by the monarch. Liu Xiang's Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan Lun says: When the moon covers the planet Mars in the constellations Jiao Xu or Kang Xu, the calamity will be in the Central Palace, not caused by an external enemy but by internal thieves; there will be internal disorder; another interpretation is that there will be a minister who deserves death, or a nobleman who will be executed, or a slanderous minister who dies in military strife, and such people will be near the monarch.

《荊州占》曰：“月毀熒惑，急在臣下。”《黃帝占》曰：“月吞火，賊滅國。”《荊州占》曰：“月咽熒惑，其師破敗。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“填星入月中，臣賊其主。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星入月中，不出四旬，有土功事，若貴人絕嗣，不出其年，王者當之。”《郗萌占》曰：“填星蝕月，女主凶，當黜者有喪。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯填星，為亡地，期不出十年，其國以飢亡；一曰天下且有大喪。”（按《洪範傳》漢成帝建始元年十一月乙卯，月蝕填星在輿鬼西北八九尺。其占為饑民流千里，後十五年，民人飢，函谷關逐食。）

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon injures the planet Mars, difficulties and dangers will fall upon the ministers. The book "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon swallows the planet Mars, bandits will destroy the country. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon swallows the planet Mars, that army will be defeated. The apocryphal text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the planet Saturn enters the moon's orbit, ministers will harm their sovereign. "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the planet Saturn enters the moon's orbit, within forty days there will be construction projects, or noblemen will lose their descendants; within the same year, the king will bear this calamity. "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the planet Saturn obscures the moon, the female ruler will suffer misfortune, and the person who should be deposed will experience mourning. "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon invades the planet Saturn, the country will lose territory, and this will happen within ten years, the country will perish due to famine; another interpretation says there will be great mourning throughout the world. The original commentary states: According to Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan Lun," in the first year of Emperor Cheng of Han's Jian Shi era, in November, on the day of Yimao, the moon obscured the planet Saturn in the northwest part of the Ghost Mansion constellation, about eight or nine feet away, and the divination text predicted that there would be starving people fleeing for a thousand li. Fifteen years later, the people suffered from famine and left for food beyond the Hangu Pass.

《荊州占》曰：“月犯填星，其國貴人兵死，天下亂；一曰主死，先舉事者敗；若天下有大風。”巫咸曰：“月犯填星，女主敗。”（按魏青龍二年十月乙丑月犯填星。三年丙寅正月太后郭氏無疾乃忽崩。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon invades the planet of filling, the nobleman of that country dies in military calamity, and chaos arises throughout the world; another interpretation is that the king dies, and the party that initiates the conflict suffers defeat; or there will be a great wind across the land. Wu Xian says: When the moon invades the planet of filling, the female ruler will perish. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Qinglong in Cao Wei, in the tenth month, on the day of Yichou, the moon invaded the planet of filling; in the first month of the third year, on the day of Bingyin, Empress Dowager Guo died suddenly without having been ill.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月乘填星，地動，不乃天裂。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“填星貫月，國內亂，期不出五年而亡。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕填星，女主死，其國以伐亡，若以殺亡。”司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕填星，女主死，其國以伐亡，若以殺亡。”司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕填星，其宿地，下犯上。”班固《天文志》曰：“月蝕填星，民流千里。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕填星，國女亂。”

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Chart of the Emperor's Inspection" says: When the moon covers the planet Tianxing, there will be an earthquake, or else a sky split. The same text also says: When the planet Tianxing passes through the moon, there will be domestic turmoil, and the predicted event will occur within five years, leading to the country's downfall. The same text also says: When the moon eclipses the planet Tianxing, the female ruler will die, and the country will perish either through invasion or through massacre. Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Celestial Officials" says: When the moon eclipses the planet Tianxing, the female ruler will die, and the country will perish either through invasion or through massacre. Sima Qian's "Book of Celestial Officials" also says: When the moon eclipses the planet Tianxing, the region corresponding to the constellation where the eclipse occurs will have subordinates offending their superiors. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the moon eclipses the planet Tianxing, the people will flee a thousand li away. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon eclipses the planet Tianxing, women within the country will cause rebellion.

《巫咸占》曰：“月不盡三日，候太白出東方，與月並準之，其間容一指，則八月有破軍，死將，主人不勝；容二指，期十三日，客軍不破主人亡地；容三指，期二十日，有破軍，死將，主人亡地；容四指，期八十日，客大敗；容五指，期三十日，軍起而不戰。”

The Wu Xian Divination says: When a month is nearly over and only three days remain, observe the bright star appearing from the east and compare its distance with the moon. If the space between them can accommodate the width of one finger, there will be a defeat of the army and death of the general in the eighth month, with the main side unable to win. If it can accommodate the width of two fingers, the event will occur in thirteen days, with the guest army not being defeated but the main side losing territory. If it can accommodate the width of three fingers, the event will occur in twenty days, with a defeat of the army and death of the general, and the main side losing territory. If it can accommodate the width of four fingers, the event will occur in eighty days, with the guest army suffering a great defeat. If it can accommodate the width of five fingers, the event will occur in thirty days, with the army being mobilized but no battle taking place.

巫咸曰：“入月三日，修太白與並準之，其間容一指，軍在外，期十日，有破軍，死將，客勝；容二指，期十五日，破軍，死將，王人勝；容三指，期十八日，有破軍，死將，客軍大勝，主人亡地；容四指，期二十五日，客軍入境，主人不勝；容五指，期三十日，軍陣不戰。”

Wu Xian said: During the first three days of the month, carefully observe the star Tai Bai, and compare its distance with the moon. If the space between them can accommodate the width of one finger, the army is outside, the event will occur within ten days, with the army being defeated and the general dying, the guest force winning. If the space can accommodate the width of two fingers, the event will occur within fifteen days, with the army being defeated and the general dying, the host force winning. If the space can accommodate the width of three fingers, the event will occur within eighteen days, with the army being defeated and the general dying, the guest force achieving a great victory and the host losing territory. If the space can accommodate the width of four fingers, the event will occur within twenty-five days, with the guest force entering the territory of the host, and the host unable to win. If the space can accommodate the width of five fingers, the event will occur within thirty days, with both armies forming lines but not engaging in battle.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與月交併，軍大戰，相去一寸，有拔城；二寸，有憂城；三寸，有憂軍。”《郗萌占》曰：“太白與月相去三寸，天子罷相。”《巫咸占》曰：“太白與月相近五寸，天下有憂兵；間五尺，天下無害。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai and the moon move in parallel, there will be a great battle; if they are one inch apart, a city will be captured; if two inches apart, a city will be under siege; if three inches apart, the army will be in danger. Here, the terms "inch" and "chi" do not refer to terrestrial measurements, but rather to the apparent distance between the two celestial bodies as observed in the sky. The narrower the interval, the more urgent the threat, and the more significant the omen. The *Ximeng Divination* says: When Tai Bai and the moon are three inches apart, the emperor will dismiss his prime minister. The *Wuxian Divination* says: When Tai Bai and the moon are five inches apart, the whole country will be anxious about military affairs; if they are five chi apart, they will be far apart and cause no harm.

《荊州占》曰：“太白東方始出，為低；在月南為得行；在月北為失行；其與月相過失行，月不盡一日，二日；二日，三月；三日，四月；四日，五月；五日，六月；六日，七月；七日，八月，八日，九月而起兵。”《荊州占》曰：“太白在西方以始入為低，在月北為得行；在月南為失行；其與月相過失行，月生一日，二月；二日，三月；三日，四月；四日，五月；五日，六月；六日，七月；七日，八月，八日，九月而起兵。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star Tai Bai appears in the east, if it is low in position, it indicates an abnormal course. If it is south of the moon, it follows the normal path; if it is north of the moon, it deviates from the normal path. If Tai Bai crosses the moon and deviates from its path, and there is one day remaining at the end of the month, then war should be initiated in the following year's second month (the original text says "second day," but according to the example in the next passage, it should be "second month"). If there are two days remaining, war should be initiated in the third month; three days remaining, in the fourth month; four days remaining, in the fifth month; five days remaining, in the sixth month; six days remaining, in the seventh month; seven days remaining, in the eighth month; eight days remaining, in the ninth month, and war should be initiated then. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When Tai Bai is about to disappear in the west, if it is low in position, it indicates an abnormal course. If it is north of the moon, it follows the normal path; if it is south of the moon, it deviates from the normal path. If Tai Bai crosses the moon and deviates from its path, and there is one day remaining at the beginning of the month, then war should be initiated in the second month; two days remaining, in the third month; three days remaining, in the fourth month; four days remaining, in the fifth month; five days remaining, in the sixth month; six days remaining, in the seventh month; seven days remaining, in the eighth month; eight days remaining, in the ninth month, and war should be initiated then.

《荊州占》曰：“太白入月中不出，容將死；出者，主人將死；無軍，大將當之。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“太白入月中，將軍戮死；一曰臣謀主，不成；皆不出三年；又曰：必有內惡戰，不勝，亡地。”《海中占》曰：“太白入月中，有殺；不及九年；國以兵亡。”郗萌曰：“太白入月中，國失政，大人為亂，期三年；一曰大人當之。”《荊州占》曰：“太白入月中，無軍大將當之，兵死，期四十日；又軍出主人將死。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai enters the moon and does not emerge, the general who is enclosed will die; if Tai Bai emerges again, the general of the opposing side will die; if the country does not send out troops, the great general will bear the calamity. The esoteric text He Tu Di Lan Xi says: When Tai Bai enters the moon, the general will be executed and die; another interpretation is that a minister plots against the sovereign but fails; these events will come to pass within three years; it also says there will certainly be internal warfare, failure in battle, and loss of territory. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When Tai Bai enters the moon, there will be killings; within nine years, the country will be destroyed by military disaster. Xi Meng says: When Tai Bai enters the moon, the country loses its authority, the person in the great position rises in rebellion, the time of occurrence is three years; another interpretation is that the person in the great position bears the calamity. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai enters the moon, if the country does not send out troops, the great general will bear the calamity and die from military disaster, the time of occurrence is forty days; if the army has already been sent out, the general of the main side will die.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月弦，太白入月中，侯多死者。”《荊州占》曰：“太白入月中，其國有分國，立王。”《郗萌占》曰：“西方先起軍者，即太白與月相去三尺，有憂軍；相去二尺，有憂城；相去一尺，有拔城。”《郗萌占》曰：“月犯太白，將有兩心；戴太白，有卒兵。”

The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the Moon" states: When the moon is in the shape of a crescent, if the bright star (too bright) enters the moon's disk, many princes will die. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the bright star enters the moon's disk, the country will split into new states and a new ruler will be established. The "Xi Meng Divination" says: The side from the west that first launches an attack should be judged by the distance between the bright star and the moon: if they are three feet apart, the army will be in urgent danger; if they are two feet apart, the city will be in urgent danger; if they are one foot apart, a city will be captured. The "Xi Meng Divination" also says: If the moon invades the bright star, the generals will be disloyal; if the bright star is above the moon like a crown, there will be sudden military disasters.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯太白，強侯作難國，戰不勝，人君死，亡國。”（按：《宋書天文志》：青龍二年十一月戊寅，月犯太白，占曰：有君死，為兵。景初元年七月，公淵叛，三年正月，遣司懿討之，三年正月明帝崩。）《荊州占》曰：“月犯太白，強侯死；又曰大將有兩心；又曰太白與月相犯，國多寇盜。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“太白與月貫，期不出三年，國大危，戰敗，亡地，以女亂亡，期不出六年。”

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Map: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River Chart" states: When the moon invades the star Tai Bai, rebellious princes will attack their own states, fail in battle, and the king will die, leading to the downfall of the state. The commentary from the original text says: According to Shen Yu's "Song Book: Records of Astronomy," in the second year of Qinglong of the Cao Wei dynasty, the eleventh month, on the fifth day of the fifth month (Wuyin), the moon invaded Tai Bai, and the divination said that a king would die, and it would be related to military affairs. In the first year of Jingchou, Gongsun Yuan rebelled; in the third year of Jingchou, in the first month, Sima Yi was sent to attack him, and at the same time, the emperor Wei Mingdi died. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades Tai Bai, rebellious princes will die; it also says that a general has two hearts; it also says that Tai Bai and the moon mutually invade, indicating many bandits in the country. The "Heavenly Map: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River Chart" says: When Tai Bai and the moon are in mutual invasion, the predicted time will not exceed three years, the country will be in great danger, fail in battle, and lose territory; if the country is destroyed by a woman, the predicted time will not exceed six years.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕太白，強國以戰敗。”班固《天文志》曰：“月蝕太白，其國以戰亡。”《郗萌占》曰：“月蝕太白，其年臣殺主，勝臣亦死。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕太白，民靡散。”（按：晉興寧三年十月丙戌夜，月掩太白，在須女。占曰：天下民靡散。）

The纬book "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the Heavens" says: When the moon covers the bright star, the powerful country will suffer defeat in battle. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the moon covers the bright star, the country will be destroyed by war. "Xi Meng's Divination" says: When the moon covers the bright star, there will be a year in which a minister kills the king, and the victorious minister will later die. "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon covers the bright star, the common people will scatter and flee. The following is the annotation from the original text: On the night of the Bingxu day in the tenth month of the third year of Xingning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the moon covered the bright star, located in the Girl Mansion. The divination says that the people throughout the land will scatter and flee.

郗萌曰：“太白蝕月，易大將，刑死。”《海中占》曰：“太白居月中無光，名日月蝕太白，臣殺其至勝，皆其三年。”（崔鴻《春秋燕錄》曰：“正始三年秋八月太白入月中，冬十月戊辰，雲臨東堂，倖臣雜班姚仁懷劍執袋而入，稱有所啟。劍擊雲，雲以反拒仁，仁進而殺。）

Xi Meng said: The bright star Tai Bai covering the moon indicates a change of a great general, and the one being replaced will die by punishment. The book "Sea Divination" says: When Tai Bai is in the center of the moon but has no light, this is called "moon eclipse over Tai Bai," which indicates that ministers will kill the sovereign and succeed in doing so, and this will be fulfilled within three years. The following is a note from the original text: Cui Hong's "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms · Yan Records" states that in the third year of Zhengshi, in the eighth month of autumn, Tai Bai entered the moon; in the tenth month of winter, on the day of Wu Chen, Murong Yun came to the eastern hall, and his favored minister Zao Ren concealed a sword in his bosom and carried a bag in his hand, claiming to have an urgent matter to report, then drew his sword and attacked Murong Yun. Murong Yun turned his hand to block Zao Ren, and Zao Ren advanced and killed Murong Yun.

《帝鑑嬉》曰：“辰星入月中，賊臣欲殺主，不出三年，必有內惡戰，不勝，亡地。”《黃帝占》曰：“辰星入月中，不出三旬，內有匿謀，春夏有大水，秋冬有大雪，牛馬疾疫，穀貴。”（按《晉陽秋考》曰：“太元十三年十一月戊子，辰星八月在晉。濤水入石頭，春大水，冬大雪，物馬死，谷踴貴不出百日。）

The Yellow River Chart and the Emperor's Mirror of Delight says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, wicked ministers intend to kill the sovereign; within three years, there will certainly be internal warfare, failure in battle, and loss of territory. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter enters the moon's orbit, within thirty days, there will be secret plots within, heavy floods in spring and summer, heavy snow in autumn and winter, epidemics among cattle and horses, and soaring grain prices. The original commentary notes: Sun Sheng's "Jinyang Spring and Autumn" records that in the thirteenth year of Taoyuan, the eleventh month on the Wuzi day, the planet Jupiter was in the area corresponding to the state of Jin in the eighth month. Later, the river flooded the Stone City, there were great floods in spring, heavy snow in winter, cattle and horses died, and grain prices soared, all coming true within a hundred days.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星入月，刑事起。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星入月中，復出，君死；入不出，君臣皆死。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯辰星，兵大起，上卿死，一曰廷尉在憂，期不出三年。”京房《妖占》曰：“月犯辰星，天下大水。”《海中占》曰：“辰星貫月，不出四年，有殃，內禍，匿謀。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Chen Star enters the moon, cases of punishment and litigation will arise. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the Chen Star enters the moon's sphere and then exits, the king will die; if it enters and does not exit, both the king and his ministers will die. The esoteric text *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: When the moon invades the Chen Star, great military conflicts will arise, and the high-ranking official will die; another interpretation says that the chief judicial officer, the Tingwei, will suffer misfortune, and this will occur within no more than three years. Jing Fang's *Yao Divination* says: When the moon invades the Chen Star, there will be great floods throughout the land. The *Hai Zhong Divination* says: When the Chen Star passes through the moon, within four years there will be calamities, internal disorders, and secret plots.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星貫月，國以女子內亂，期六年。”《巫咸占》曰：“辰星與月薄，所舍之宿，其主死，其國亡。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕辰星，其國以女亂亡，若水飢，期不出三年；又曰兵未起而飢，所當之國，其兵戰不勝。”京房《易傳》曰：“月蝕辰星，其國女以戰。”《郗萌占》曰：“辰星蝕月，大水。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Chen Star passes through the Moon, the country will experience internal disorder caused by women, and this will occur within six years. The *Wuxian Divination* says: When the Chen Star and the Moon approach closely and clash—'clash' meaning the two bodies press against each other, almost touching—the country corresponding to the star's position will have its ruler die and the country perish. The esoteric text *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: When the Moon covers the Chen Star, the country will suffer internal disorder caused by women and eventually perish, or it will face floods and famine, and this will occur within three years; it also says that if warfare has not yet begun but famine occurs first, the country that corresponds to this will fail in its military campaigns. Jing Fang's *Yi Transmission* says: When the Moon covers the Chen Star, the country will experience warfare caused by women. The *Xi Meng Divination* says: When the Chen Star covers the Moon, it indicates a great flood.

郗萌曰：“月宿東壁、營室、奎、婁胃，皆主水。為此星雨者，則沖月雨水甚，則水甚雨澤，入地一寸。至其報月，立水七寸，其潢流，絕車轍，溪谷溢。”又占曰：“月宿觜、參、井、鬼柳，皆主旱，以此星雨者，則沖月旱，雨甚者大旱，雨微者小旱。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯列宿，其國有憂。”又曰：“列星貫月，陰國可伐也，期不出五年，其國受兵，不出十年中，國有內亂，大危。”

In the Eastern Han dynasty, the diviner Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the eastern mansion stars, namely the stars of the walls, the rooms, the belt, the granary, and the stomach, they all indicate water. If it rains in these star mansions, then the month that is opposite to them will have particularly heavy rain, with great water power, and the rainwater will seep into the ground by an inch. By the time of the verification month, the accumulated water will rise to seven inches, causing floods that will cut through the wheels of carts, and overflowing streams and valleys. Xi Meng also said: When the moon is near the stars of the mouth, the general, the well, the ghost, the willow, these all indicate drought. If it rains in these star mansions, then the month opposite to them will be dry. Heavy rain will cause great drought, while light rain will cause minor drought. The apocryphal book "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Tour of the Celestial Regions" says: When the moon invades the stars of the twenty-eight mansions, the country corresponding to that mansion will have troubles. It also says: When the stars are aligned with the moon, the country of the Yin can be attacked. The predicted time will not be more than five years, and the country will suffer from military disaster; within ten years, there will be internal disorder, and the country will be in great peril.

甘氏曰：“月蝕列宿，其國憂、星滅，天下有亡，國星復見，亡國復立，兵起大勝。”《高宗占》曰：“星入月中，將有大兵。”《海中占》曰：“星入月中，其國君有憂；一曰不出三年，臣勝其主。”京房《易傳》曰：“星入月中，大臣謀伐其主，主令不行。”《荊州占》曰：“星入月中，其國有喪；又曰有破軍。”又占曰：“月未中而星入之，有賊人為攻者，在東方，文者長，武者亡；月過中而星入之，有賊人為者，在西方，武者長，文者亡。”

Gan De of the State of Qi during the Warring States period said: When the moon covers a star, the country corresponding to that star's division will have troubles; if a star is eclipsed and disappears, there will be the fall of a state; when that star reappears, the fallen state will be restored and the army will achieve great victory. The "High Ancestral Divination" says: When a star enters the moon's disk, there will be large-scale military actions. The "Sea Divination" says: When a star enters the moon's disk, the ruler of that country will have worries; another interpretation says that within three years, the ministers will surpass the ruler. Jing Fang's "Commentary on the Changes" says: When a star enters the moon's disk, the ministers will plot to attack the ruler, and the ruler's commands will not be carried out. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When a star enters the moon's disk, there will be mourning in that country; it also says that the army will be defeated. Another divination says: If the star enters the moon's disk before the moon has reached the zenith, there will be rebels starting a rebellion, the direction will be the east, and the officials will gain power while the military officials will be defeated; if the star enters the moon's disk after the moon has passed the zenith, there will be rebels starting a rebellion, the direction will be the west, and the military officials will gain power while the officials will be defeated.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“星出月陰，負海國有勝星出月下，芒角相歷者，君死入飢。”甘氏曰：“月犯列星，其國憂，若受兵殃。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯所宿之星，其國有軍將死。”京氏《妖占》曰：“星與月同光，臣不作亂，則人民非上。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕列星不見者，其國亡，星還復見者，國復立。”又占曰：“星蝕月，其國相死。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月中有星，天下有賊，星多者，賊多。”《荊州占》曰：“列星居月中，無光，其國以飢亡。”

The book of Heavenly Phenomena, "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the Stars," says: when a star appears on the side of the moon that is阴 (yin), the country near the sea will prevail; when a star appears below the moon, with its bright edge sweeping across the moon's light, the ruler will die and the people will suffer from famine. Gan De says: when the moon invades the constellation, the country corresponding to that constellation will have troubles or suffer from military disaster. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when the moon invades the star it is approaching, the country will lose a general. Jing Fang's "Omen Divination" says: when a star and the moon have the same color, if the ministers do not rebel, the common people will criticize the ruler. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: when the moon covers the stars and the stars disappear, the country will be destroyed; if the stars reappear later, the country will be restored. Another divination says: when a star covers the moon, the prime minister of that country will die. Jing Fang's "Omen Divination" says: if there are stars within the moon's circle, there will be bandits in the country; the more stars, the more bandits. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when the constellation stars are within the moon's circle and lose their light, the country will perish from famine.

石氏曰：“月犯左角，大人憂，期六月。一曰大臣憂喪。”《海中占》曰：“月犯角，其國有憂。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯左角，左將戰死，期不出三年；犯右角，右將戰死。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯左角，大臣誅，天下決水，大獄；犯右角，兵起。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月乘左角，法官誅；乘右角，兵起。”《海中占》曰：“月出角南，國家多暴獄，治病驕恣。”

Shi Shen of the State of Wei during the Warring States period said: If the moon invades the Left Angle star, the person in a high position will have worries, and this will occur within six months; another view is that a minister will have worries and suffer a death. The Angle mansion is divided into left and right stars, which are the two horns of the eastern Blue Dragon, belonging to the territory of the State of Zheng, corresponding to the region of Yanzhou. The book "Sea Divination" says: If the moon invades the Angle mansion, the country will have worries. The apocryphal book "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Tour of the World" says: If the moon invades the Left Angle, the commander of the left army will die in battle, and this will occur within three years; if it invades the Right Angle, the commander of the right army will die in battle. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon invades the Left Angle, a minister will be executed, there will be a great flood breaking dykes, and there will be a major case of criminal justice; if it invades the Right Angle, military affairs will arise. The book "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Tour of the World" also says: If the moon presses upon the Left Angle, the official in charge of law and punishment will be executed; if it presses upon the Right Angle, military affairs will arise. The book "Sea Divination" says: If the moon appears to the south of the Angle mansion, the country will have many cases of cruel punishment and wrongful imprisonment, and the governance of affairs will be arrogant and unrestrained.

《荊州占》曰：“月出左角南三尺，多獄，五尺以上至丈所，天子明威。”又占曰：“月乘右角，后族家及將相，有坐法死者。”郗萌曰：“月乘左角為旱，右角為水。”又曰：“犯左角，左將軍死之；一曰天下有兵。”（按：魏正始七年七月丁丑，月犯左角。占曰：“月犯左角，天下有兵。左將軍死。”到嘉平元年正月甲午，大將軍曹爽誅，時太傳舞陽侯屯兵浮橋，積二年七月。咸熙二年閏月庚子，月犯左角，到大始四年十月，荊州刺史上言吳遣使持節施績領三萬人圍於鄉，右丞相萬彧領萬五千人圍直城，大將軍丁皋間、壽春義陽王率諸軍徇壽春兵起之應也。）

The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the moon appears three feet south of the left horn, there will be many lawsuits; when it appears five feet above until about ten feet, the emperor's decree will be clear. Another divination says: When the moon covers the right horn, there will be people from the queen's family and ministers who will be executed for crimes. Xi Meng says: When the moon covers the left horn, there will be drought; when it covers the right horn, there will be floods. Xi Meng also says: When the moon invades the left horn, the left general will die; another interpretation is that there will be warfare in the country. The original book's note says: In the seventh year of Cao Wei's Zhengshi period, seventh month, on Dingchou, the moon invaded the left horn. The divination says that when the moon invades the left horn, there will be warfare in the country and the left general will die. In the first month of Jiayu year of Jiaping, Cao Shuang was executed. At that time, the Grand Tutor Wuyang Hou Sima Yi stationed his troops at the floating bridge over the Luo River, and this prediction was fulfilled after two years and seven months. In the second year of Xianxi, the闰month, on Gengzi, the moon again invaded the left horn. By the tenth month of Taishi year four, the governor of Jingzhou reported that Wu sent General Shi Ji with three thousand troops to attack Yuxiang, and the right chancellor Wan Yu with fifteen thousand troops to attack Zhicheng. General Ding Feng (the source text says 'Ding Gaojian') and the Prince of Yiyang led various armies to advance on Shouchun. This is the fulfillment of the prediction of warfare.

郗萌曰：“月貫左角，三年，太子死。”又占曰：“月蝕角，大人憂，期三年；一曰有獄事，都尉死；一曰天下大凶。”《巫咸占》曰：“月蝕角，天子憂，牢獄空，用赦當之，期九十日。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕角，三年更赦。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“角星貫月，三年，國君死。”《郗萌占》曰：“左角角入月中，不出其年，強國有喪；右角入月中，其君死三年。”

Xi Meng said: The moon passes through the Left Angle mansion, and the crown prince will die within three years. Another divination says: When the moon covers the Angle mansion, the person in the highest position will have worries, and the time of this event is three years; another says there will be lawsuits, and the county commander will die; another says there will be great calamity throughout the country. The "Wu Xian Divination" says: When the moon covers the Angle mansion, the emperor will have worries, the prison will be emptied, and the calamity can be dispelled by issuing an amnesty decree, and the time of this event is ninety days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon covers the Angle mansion, there will be a great amnesty within three years. The apocryphal text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the Angle star passes through the moon, the king will die within three years. The "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the Left Angle star enters the moon's disc, there will be mourning in a strong country within the same year; when the Right Angle star enters the moon's disc, the king will die within three years.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯亢，兵起，不出三年。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯亢，將軍亡其鼓，其國將死。”《海中占》曰：“月犯亢，亡地，其國有憂。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯亢，朝臣有事。”

The book of纬书 "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Kangle, military affairs will arise, and this will happen within three years. The mansion of Kangle consists of four stars, and it shares the same territory as the mansion of Jiao, both belonging to the region of Zheng. These mansions govern the imperial court and ancestral temples. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Kangle, the general will lose his war drum, and the generals of that country will die. The "Divination of the Sea" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Kangle, land will be lost, and that country will suffer calamity. The "Divination of Jingzhou" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Kangle, the ministers of the court will have accidents.

郗萌曰：“月乘亢，左星，為水，右星為大兵。”（案魏正始九年正月辛亥，月犯亢南昌，占曰：“兵起，一曰將軍死。”到嘉平元年正月，廢大將軍曹爽等，十六日誅爽時，太傅動兵浮橋，積一年，魏喜平三年五月甲寅，月犯亢距星，到七月太尉王凌誅。到四年三月鎮將軍諸葛恪上言：賊朱異蟻聚，即誅，截死者三萬餘人，積十一月始應。）

Xi Meng said: The moon pressing upon the Kangle mansion, pressing on the star on the left indicates water, pressing on the star on the right indicates large-scale military affairs. The following is the commentary from the original text: In the ninth year of the Zhengshi era of the Cao Wei dynasty, in the first month, on the day of Xinhai, the moon invaded the southern star of the Kangle mansion, and the divination text said that military affairs would arise. Another interpretation said that a general would die. In the first year of the Jiaping era, in the first month, the Grand General Cao Shuang and others were dismissed, and on the sixteenth day, Cao Shuang was executed. At that time, the Grand Tutor Sima Yi was engaged in military actions on the floating bridge over the Luo River, and the prophecy was fulfilled after a year. In the third year of Jiaping of the Wei dynasty, in the fifth month on the day of Jiayin, the moon invaded the standard star of the Kangle mansion (a star used to measure the longitude within a mansion). By the seventh month, the Grand Minister Wang Ling was executed. In the third month of the fourth year of Jiaping, the Commander of the Eastern Expedition, Zhuge Ke, reported that the enemy general Zhu Yi was gathering like an ant hill, and was soon defeated and executed, with over thirty thousand killed or drowned. The prophecy was fulfilled after eleven months.

韓楊曰：“月入氐，天下兵起。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“犯氐，其國有軍將死；一曰將當之。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯氐，其國有軍，一曰其國有憂。”《海中占》曰：“月犯氐左星，郎中右將誅死；皆期三年。”《荊州占》曰：“月乘氐右星，天下有大兵，天子自將，兵天野。”（按魏嘉平三年四月戊子，月犯氐東北星，占曰：“將軍死。”五年二月癸丑，後將軍兗州刺史黃華薨。）《海中占》曰：“月蝕氐，氐星翳，一將死之，國有誅者。”

Han Dynasty diviner Han Yang said: When the moon enters the mansion of Di, there will be military conflicts throughout the country. The mansion of Di consists of four stars, and together with the mansions of Fang and Xin, it belongs to the territory of Song, corresponding to the state of Yu. Di is the mansion where the Son of Heaven rests. The esoteric text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Di, there will be the death of a general in that country; another interpretation says that the general will bear this calamity. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Di, there will be military conflicts in that country; another interpretation says that there will be calamity in that country. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon covers the star on the left side of the mansion of Di, the attendants and the right general will be executed and die; the prediction should be fulfilled within three years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon covers the star on the right side of the mansion of Di, there will be large-scale military conflicts throughout the country, and the Son of Heaven will personally lead the army, stationing troops in the outskirts. The original commentary says: In the third year of Jia Ping in the Cao Wei dynasty, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the fifth month, the moon invaded the star in the northeast of the mansion of Di, and the divination said that a general would die. In the fifth year of Jia Ping, in the second month, on the tenth day of the second month, the rear general and governor of Yanzhou, Huang Hua, died. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon obscures the mansion of Di, the star of Di is covered, indicating that a general will die and someone in the country will be executed.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行中道，是謂安寧，天下和平，舉兵不吉；欲被其刑，逆天之道，辱以無名。”又曰：“月宿天廄中央，一軍罷歸，期不過三十日。”《郗萌占》曰：“月當天門、駟之間，五穀大得，人主益壽。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行陽環，多少暴事；”又曰：“月宿天廄左間，將軍論老弱分，歸期不過三十日。”又曰：“月行陽，裹治驕恣；多暴獄及驚駭，內亂。”

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Map of the Emperor's View" says: When the moon travels along the middle path of the Room Mansion, this is called "peaceful and tranquil," and the world will be in peace; at this time, it is not auspicious to launch an army, and if one insists on doing so, it will result in punishment, which is against the way of heaven, and will lead to disgrace due to an unjust cause. It also says: When the moon is located in the center of the Heavenly Stable—the four stars of the Room Mansion are also called Heavenly Steed and Heavenly Stable—it will be a time when a military force will disband and return, and this will happen within no more than thirty days. The text "Xi Meng's Divination" says: When the moon is directly between the Heavenly Gate and the Heavenly Steed, there will be a great harvest of grain and the ruler will live long. "Heavenly Map of the Emperor's View" also says: When the moon travels along the Yang Circle, there will be many instances of cruelty. It also says: When the moon is located in the left part of the Heavenly Stable, the general will decide on the criteria for dismissing the elderly and weak, and the return period will not exceed thirty days. It also says: When the moon travels within the Yang Path (the original text "guo" is likely a homonym for "li," meaning "within"), there will be excessive arrogance and indulgence in governance, leading to many cases of cruelty and disturbances, and internal rebellion will occur.

又曰：“月行四表之南，陽人且錯，禍不可克。”又曰：“冬三月，月出房南，近小旱，遠大旱，期在沖；去房三尺曰近，五尺曰近。”《郗萌占》曰：“月宿房南，粟不美，稻不實。”又曰：“正月十九日，候月出房南，有兵，女主喪。”《荊州占》曰：“月出四表以南，人君有憂。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行大陽，天下亂，人民啼哭，及天下大荒，禍不可禁，天下有兩心。”

The River Chart: The Imperial Observations says: The moon travels in the southern area of the four boundaries — the four boundaries are the markers that divide the lunar path within and outside the Room Mansion — when the moon is in the southern area, which belongs to the yang, people will become confused, and calamities will be uncontrollable. It also says: During the three winter months, when the moon rises south of the Room Mansion, if it is close, there will be minor drought; if it is far, there will be major drought; the occurrence will be in the month that opposes it; being three feet away from the Room Mansion is called close, and five feet away is also called close (the source text uses 'close' in both instances, and the latter 'close' may be a mistake for 'far'). The Xi Meng Divination says: When the moon is near the Room Mansion to the south, millet will not grow well, and rice will not be fully ripe. It also says: Observing on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, when the moon rises south of the Room Mansion, there will be military affairs, and the emperor's principal wife will die. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon travels south of the four boundaries, the ruler will have worries. The River Chart: The Imperial Observations says: When the moon travels along the path of the Star of Brightness and Prestige, the world will be in turmoil, people will weep, the world will be in great famine, calamities will be uncontrollable, and people will have two hearts.

又曰：“月行陰間，多陰事，小起。”又曰：“月宿天廄右間，將軍伐，期不過三十日。”郗萌曰：“月出陽間，黍稷不為，菽美。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行陰裡，權衡不得，後革時作，邊境不休。”又曰：“月行四表之北，陰人將革，禍不可克。”又曰：“冬三月，月出房北，近小水，遠大水，期在沖。”郗萌曰：“月行四表之北，水旱不時，民皆流食。”《荊州占》曰：“月行房北，帝有亂臣。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行太陰，天下兵悉起，及內淫、流食。”《荊州占》曰：“月行太陰，民流亡。”

The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Joyful View says: When the moon moves in the dark region, there are many hidden matters, but only minor occurrences. It also says: When the moon is near the right part of the celestial stable, the general will go out to wage war, and the time of occurrence will not exceed thirty days. Xi Meng says: When the moon comes from the bright region, millet and foxtail millet will not grow well, but beans will grow well. The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Joyful View says: When the moon moves in the dark region, the balance is lost, the empress frequently changes, and border wars never cease. It also says: When the moon moves north of the four extremes, those who belong to the northern, dark region will have disturbances, and the calamities cannot be controlled. It also says: During the three winter months, when the moon rises from the north of the Room Mansion, small water bodies nearby and large ones far away will have occurrences in the month opposite to the one they appear in. Xi Meng says: When the moon moves north of the four extremes, drought and flood occur at the wrong times, and the people will all have to wander and beg for food. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon moves north of the Room Mansion, there are disorderly ministers around the emperor. The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Joyful View says: When the moon moves along the path of the Wealth Star and Mother Star, there will be widespread military conflicts throughout the country, as well as internal corruption and people wandering for food. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon moves along the path of the Wealth Star and Mother Star, the people scatter and flee.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：‘月犯房星，四足之蟲多死，期不出一年。”《海中占》曰：“房上第一星上相，次星次相，下第一星上將，次星次將也。”（按晉成康二年正月辛亥，月犯房南第二星，占曰：“將相有憂。”五年七月丞相王導，八月太尉郗鑑，六年正月徵西大將軍庚亮並薨也。）

The apocryphal text "Heavenly Map of the Imperial View" states: When the moon invades the star of the Room Mansion, there will be many deaths among four-legged animals, and the prediction will come true within a year. Another text, "Sea Divination," says: The Room Mansion, from top to bottom, the first star is the Upper Minister, the second star is the Deputy Minister, the first star below is the Upper General, and the star above that is the Deputy General. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the first month, on the Xinhai day, the moon invaded the second star of the southern part of the Room Mansion, and the divination said that ministers would have worries. In the fifth year of the same era, in the seventh month, the Chancellor Wang Dao died; in the eighth month, the Grand Minister Xi Jian died; in the sixth year, in the first month, the Grand General Yu Liang also died.

《荊州占》曰：“月犯房，為死亡，近之為辱將相，期三年。”（按：魏景初元年二月乙酉，月犯房第二星；房四星；股肱臣將相位也；占曰：“將相有憂，若死亡。”到十二月，司空陳群薨，到三年七月，司徒陳驕薨。積一年六月。）《黃帝占》曰：“月犯上將，上將誅；犯次將，次將誅；犯次相，次相誅；犯上相，上相誅。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯房心，天下有殃，主有憂。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon invades the Room Mansion, there will be death; but if it approaches closely without actually invading, the generals and ministers will suffer disgrace, and the prediction will come true within three years. The original commentary states: In the second month of Jingchou Year One of the Cao Wei dynasty, the moon invaded the second star of the Room Mansion. The Room Mansion has four stars, which represent the ministers and generals; the divination text says that the generals and ministers will be troubled, or there will be death. In the twelfth month of that year, the Grand Minister Chen Qun died; in the seventh month of Jingchou Year Three, the Grand Minister Chen Jiao died. In total, this spanned one and a half years. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the moon invades the General Star, the general will be executed; when it invades the second General Star, the second general will be executed; when it invades the Deputy Minister Star, the deputy minister will be executed; when it invade the Chief Minister Star, the chief minister will be executed. The *Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment* says: When the moon invades the Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion, there will be calamity in the country, and the ruler will be troubled.

《郗萌占》曰：“月犯房，有亂臣，期不出三年，臣伐其主，天下有亡國。”陳卓曰：“月犯房，有兵；又曰天下有殃，主憂。”郗萌曰：“月乘房，滅左右官，為有誅；伏甲者陳兵在宗廟中，天子不可出宮、下堂，又曰多暴事。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行房心間，其旁有紅雲一，諸侯一王死。”郗萌曰：“月乘鉤鈐，大人憂火令。”《荊州占》曰：“月有中犯陵房星者，國君憂；色青憂喪；赤憂積尸成山；黑有將相誅；白芒角大哭。”郗萌曰：“月有中犯乘守房左驂，左服皆有夫人死，所中相誅。”

The Xi Meng Divination says: When the moon invades the Room Mansion, there will be a rebellious minister in the court, and the event will occur within three years. The minister will attack his sovereign, and the country will suffer from the loss of a state. Chen Zhuo, a Western Jin astronomer, said: When the moon invades the Room Mansion, there will be military affairs; he also said that the country will suffer from calamity and the sovereign will have worries. Xi Meng said: When the moon presses upon the Room Mansion, the officials' stars on both sides are obscured, indicating that someone will be executed; there are hidden soldiers in the ancestral temple with troops arranged, the Son of Heaven cannot leave the palace or descend from the hall; he also said that there will be many acts of cruelty. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's View of the World" says: When the moon travels between the Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion, and a red cloud appears beside it, a prince will die. Xi Meng said: When the moon presses upon the Hook and Bell Star, the person in power should worry about fire-related affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades or presses upon the Room Mansion star, the sovereign will have worries; if the moonlight is bluish, the worry is about mourning; if it is reddish, the worry is about accumulated corpses; if it is black, there will be the execution of ministers; if it is white with a sharp edge, there will be great weeping. Xi Meng said: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays at the left骖 star and left服 star of the Room Mansion, it indicates the death of the consort, and the one being attacked will be executed.

又曰：“月犯鉤鈐，大臣有誤天子，不尊事天者，致火災於宗廟，天子崩，王者不宜出宮、下殿，有謀匿於宗廟中者；一曰犯鉤鈐駟，馬，駕將有行。”（按魏正始六年十二己巳月犯鉤鈐，占曰：王者憂，一曰有火災。到七年二月，熒乘黃廄，署屋延燒。又魏青龍三年十二月戊辰，月犯鉤鈐，王者憂，到景初二年十二月，明帝崩。積三年十一月。又案魏正始六年十二月己巳，月犯鉤鈐；占曰五星犯鉤鈐，皆主王者憂，一曰有火災。到七年二月，熒乘黃廄，延燒西掖門，到嘉平二年七月壬戌，皇后甄氏崩。積三年七月應。又案魏時火犯鉤鈐，皆為後崩也。）郗萌曰：“月守房，皆為人君無道。”又曰：“皆為天下諸侯謀相吞，道不同；又曰皆為胡發兵。”

Xi Meng also said: When the moon invades the Hook and Bell star, there will be ministers who delay the Son of Heaven and show disrespect to heaven, leading to a fire in the ancestral temple and the death of the Son of Heaven. At this time, the ruler should not go out of the palace or descend from the throne, for there may be conspirators hiding in the ancestral temple. Another interpretation is that the moon invades the Hook and Bell star along with the Four Horses star, indicating that the royal carriage will be about to travel. The original commentary notes: In the twelfth month of the sixth year of the Zhengshi era of the Cao Wei dynasty, the moon invaded the Hook and Bell star, and the divination said that the ruler would have worries, or there would be a fire. In the second month of the seventh year, the Malefic of Violence pressed upon the Chénghuáng Jiu star, and official buildings and houses were successively burned. In the twelfth month of the third year of Qinglong, the moon invaded the Hook and Bell star, indicating that the ruler would have worries; in the twelfth month of Jingchu second year, the Wei Mingdi Emperor died, which was a span of three years and eleven months. Again, in the twelfth month of the sixth year of Zhengshi, the moon invaded the Hook and Bell star; the divination said that when the five stars invade the Hook and Bell star, it indicates the ruler will have worries, or there will be a fire. In the second month of the seventh year, the Malefic of Violence pressed upon the Chénghuáng Jiu star, and the fire spread to the western Yemmen gate; in the seventh month of the second year of Jiaping, the queen consort Zhen died, which was a span of three years and seven months, and the prediction was fulfilled. Again, during the Cao Wei period, when the Malefic of Violence invaded the Hook and Bell star, it always corresponded to the death of the queen. Xi Meng said: When the moon stays in the Room Mansion, meaning it remains in its position without moving, it indicates the ruler is unjust. It also indicates that the feudal lords will plot to conquer each other, each following their own path without harmony; it also indicates that the Hu people will raise an army.

班固《天文志》曰：“月犯心，其國有憂，若有大喪。”《摘亡闢》曰：“六月辛酉，月犯心，亡君之戒也。”郗萌曰：“月犯明堂星，大人憂。”《海中占》曰：“月犯心中央星，人主惡之；犯其前星，太子惡之，及失位，犯其後星，庶子惡之；皆應以善事。”郗萌曰：“月行出心以南，在外大將易。一曰無兵。太子事。”陳卓曰：“月行宿心而霧，山崩谷塞，一曰水深。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, the country will have calamity or a great mourning. The three stars of the Heart Mansion, along with the stars of Di and Fang, belong to the territory of the State of Song. The central bright star is the heavenly king, the star before it is the crown prince, and the star after it is the younger son, also called the Bright Hall. "Zhai Wang Bi" says: On the sixth month Xinyou day, when the moon invades the Heart Mansion, this is a warning that the sovereign will perish. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the Bright Hall star, the person in the high position will have worry. "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: When the moon invades the central bright star of the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will dislike this omen; if it invades the star before it, the crown prince will have misfortune and lose his position; if it invades the star after it, the younger son will have misfortune; all these should be responded to with good governance to dispel the omen. Xi Meng says: When the moon moves south of the Heart Mansion, the general in the outer court will be replaced; another view is that there will be no military action, but rather matters concerning the crown prince. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion and a great fog arises in the sky, there will be mountain collapses and blocked valleys; another view is that there will be flooding as a disaster.

《石氏占》曰：“月乘心，其國相死；月北出，其國旱，宗廟有焚者；月南出，其將相有起兵。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯乘心，大人凶，天下大旱，萬民災傷，近期三年，遠九年。”《石氏占》曰：“月合心星，其君死。”又曰：“犯大星，主遇賊害，國人為亂。”又占曰：“月犯心大星，女執行；又曰太子不立。”郗萌曰：“月犯心星，臣弒君；又曰滅其君，三年有憂賊臣。”

The Shi school says: When the moon covers the Heart mansion, the country's prime minister will die; when the moon rises to the north, the country will suffer drought and the ancestral temples will be burned; when the moon rises to the south, generals and ministers will rise in rebellion. The Jingzhou divination says: When the moon invades and covers the Heart mansion, the person in high position will have misfortune, the whole country will suffer a great drought, and the people will be afflicted. The calamity will occur within three years or nine years. The Shi school also says: When the moon is in conjunction with the Heart mansion star, the king will die. It also says: When the moon invades the great star of the Heart mansion, the ruler will be harmed by thieves, and the people will rebel. Another divination says: When the moon invades the great star of the Heart mansion, a woman will hold power; it also says the crown prince will not be established. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the star of the Heart mansion, a minister will kill the king; it also says the king will be destroyed, and within three years there will be worry about treacherous ministers.

《海中占》曰：“月犯心，有亂臣，天下有亡國；蝕心，國內亂，有大賊。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯心，亂臣在旁伐國，期不出三年，其下有亡國；又民伐其主，應之以善事，已殃除。”《海中占》曰：“月犯心中央星，人主敗，國有賊，人為亂。”（按魏甘露二年六月己酉，月犯心中央大星，景元元年五月，高貴鄉公敗。）

The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, there will be rebellious ministers in the court and the country will suffer from the downfall of a state; when the moon obscures the Heart Mansion, there will be internal turmoil in the country and a great bandit will arise. The astrological text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the Heart Mansion, rebellious ministers will be in the vicinity of the ruler and will attack the state, and this will occur within three years, with the place corresponding to the position of the moon suffering from the downfall of a state; it also indicates that the people will rise up against their ruler, and if the ruler promotes good governance, the calamity can be eliminated. The Sea in the Middle Divination also says: When the moon invades the central star of the Heart Mansion, the ruler will perish, there will be bandits in the country, and someone will cause disorder. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Ganlu of the Cao Wei dynasty, in June, on the day of Jiyou, the moon invaded the central star of the Heart Mansion; in the first year of Jingyuan, in May, the high prince Cao Mao was defeated in battle and killed.

郗萌曰：“月貴心，其國亂，臣弒君。”《石氏占》曰：“月貴心，其國政亂。”《海中占》曰：“月貫心，其國亂，臣弒君。”《石氏占》曰：“月貴心，其國政亂。”《海中占》曰：“月貴心，一年國君死，不則臣伐主。”

Xi Meng said: The moon passes through the Heart Mansion—the original text "guì" is a homonym for "guàn," a similar character, same below—the country will be in turmoil, and a minister will kill the sovereign. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will have disorder in its affairs. The Hai Zhong divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will be in turmoil, and a minister will kill the sovereign. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the country will have disorder in its affairs. The Hai Zhong divination says: When the moon passes through the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will die within a year, otherwise it will be a case of ministers attacking the sovereign. The sources of these passages often repeat, and all are preserved as they were originally.

《黃帝占》曰：“月貫心星，三年國內亂。”（按漢孝成帝陽朔元年七月壬子，月犯心星。占曰：“其國憂，若有喪。房心為宋，今為楚地，十月辛未，楚王芳薨，積四月應。又按王莽地皇元年正月，月犯心前星，為太子。是歲後，莽殺，太子臨之。黃初四年十二月丙子，月犯心大星。占曰：“犯心國憂，若有喪。七年五月丁巳，文帝崩。積二年六月。魏景初二年閏九月癸丑。月犯心大星，占曰：月犯中央星，其國有憂。若有大喪。到三年十二月，明帝崩，積一年四月。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon passes through the stars of the Heart Mansion, there will be turmoil within the country within three years. The commentary from the original text says: In the first year of Yangshuo during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, in the seventh month on the day of Renzi, the moon invaded the star of the Heart Mansion. The divination text says that the country will have sorrow or mourning. The Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion originally belonged to the state of Song, but now belong to the state of Chu; in the tenth month on the day of Xinwei, the king of Chu died, and this was verified after four months. Further examination shows that in the first year of Dihuang during the reign of Wang Mang, in the first month, the moon invaded the star before the Heart Mansion, and the star before the Heart Mansion is associated with the crown prince; after that year, Wang Mang killed the crown prince Wang Lin. In the fourth year of Huangchu during the Wei dynasty, in the twelfth month on the day of Bingzi, the moon invaded the main star of the Heart Mansion. The divination text says that invading the main star of the Heart Mansion indicates the country will have sorrow or mourning; in the seventh year of Huangchu in May on the day of Dingsi, the emperor Wen of Wei died, and this was verified after two years and six months.

The divination text says that invading the central main star indicates the country will have sorrow or a great mourning; by the twelfth month of Jingchou in the third year, the emperor Ming of Wei died, and this was verified after one year and four months.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯尾，君臣不和。”郗萌曰：“月犯尾，貴戚有誅者，其國有軍將死。”又曰：“在尾宿有變，後宮不安，妃后爭人君，子孫不吉，在宮中矣。”

The esoteric text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" from the Wei Shu says: When the moon invades the Tail Mansion, the ruler and ministers will not be in harmony. The Tail Mansion has nine stars and corresponds to the territory of Yan State, which is associated with Youzhou, and it governs the order of the imperial concubines. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the Tail Mansion, there will be a nobleman or a royal relative who is executed, and a general from that country will die. It also says: If there is an anomaly in the Tail Mansion, the palace will not be peaceful, the concubines and the empress will vie for the emperor's affection, the descendants will be inauspicious, and calamity will arise within the palace.

石氏曰：“月干犯箕度，君臣不和。”《含文嘉》曰：“月至箕，則風揚。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“月失行，離於箕者，風。”《春秋緯潛潭巴》曰：“月入箕中，其國有憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入箕，糴大貴。”郗萌曰：“月入箕，天下大亂，有兵，國君死之；又曰必赦，月在箕，踵期三十日；在口，期六十日。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon intrudes upon the degree of Ji Xu, there will be discord between the sovereign and ministers. The four stars of Ji Xu and the stars of Wei Xu belong to Yan's territory, governing wind and speech. The Li Wei "Hwan Wen Jia" says: When the moon reaches Ji Xu, wind will rise. The Ch'un Chiu Wei "Kao Yi You" says: When the moon deviates from its normal path and adheres to Ji Xu, wind will arise. The Ch'un Chiu Wei "Qian Tan Ba" says: When the moon enters Ji Xu, the country will suffer calamity. The Huang Di Zhan says: When the moon enters Ji Xu, grain prices will rise sharply. Xi Meng said: When the moon enters Ji Xu, the whole country will be in chaos, there will be military affairs, and the sovereign will die because of it; also, there will certainly be an amnesty. When the moon is in the heel of Ji Xu—the narrow end of the箕 shape—it will be thirty days; when it is in the mouth of Ji Xu, it will be sixty days.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯箕，有客讒人者。”《海中占》曰：“月犯箕，女主有憂。”郗萌曰：“月犯箕，其國有軍將死。”（按魏嘉平五年六月十二日庚辰，月犯箕，占曰：“軍將死。”到正元元年正月乙丑，鎮東將軍母丘儉反，正月甲辰，斬儉，積一年九月。又按魏甘露元年八月七日辛亥，月犯箕東北星，占曰：“犯箕東北星，軍將死。”到二年五月，徵東大將軍諸葛誕謀叛不就，後殺揚州刺史樂［糹休］，積十月。）

The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, there will be foreign guests spreading slander. Ji Xiu is originally associated with speech and guests, so it is interpreted as slander. "The Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, the female ruler will have worries. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the mansion of Ji Xiu, a country will lose a general in military service; Ji Xiu corresponds to the region of Yan, so the event will mostly occur in the areas of Youyan. The original commentary says: In the sixth month of the fifth year of Cao Wei's Jiaping era, on the twelfth day of the month, on Gengchen, the moon invaded the mansion of Ji Xiu, and the divination said that a general in the army would die. In the first year of Zhengyuan, on the first day of the first month, the Eastern General Guan Qiu Jian rebelled, and on the thirteenth day of the first month, Guan Qiu Jian was executed. The time span between these events was one year and nine months. Further examination of the first day of the eighth month in the first year of Wei Ganlu, on Xinhai, the moon invaded the star of Ji Xiu in the Northeast, and the divination said that invading the star of Ji Xiu in the Northeast would mean that a general in the army would die. In the second year of Ganlu, in May, the Eastern General Zhuge Dan plotted a rebellion but failed, later killing the governor of Yangzhou, Yue Chen. The time span between these events was ten months.

郗萌曰：“月宿南斗風，一曰雨。”又曰：“月入南斗魁中，大人憂；一曰太子殃；又曰宮中有自賦者，期三十日。”《荊州占》曰：“月入南斗，兵起，有憂，不出三年。”京氏曰：“月以子丑申入南斗，後百八十二日赦，無餘囚。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the Southern Dipper, it indicates wind; another view says it indicates rain. The six stars of the Southern Dipper belong to the region of Wu and Yue, corresponding to Yangzhou, and indicate rank, honor, and longevity. Xi Meng also said: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper's 'Kui'—'Kui' refers to the four stars forming the body of the Dipper—the person in a high position will have worries; another view says the crown prince will suffer calamity; also, there will be someone in the palace who confesses his guilt, and the period will be thirty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper, military affairs will arise, there will be worries, and this will not exceed three years. Jing Fang said: When the moon enters the Southern Dipper on a Zi day, a Chou day, or a Shen day, there will be an amnesty issued within 182 days, and no prisoners will remain in jail.

陳卓曰：“月犯入南斗魁，天下大赦；一曰兵起。”（按晉成帝咸和六年正月丙辰，月入南斗，占曰：“有兵，一曰有大赦。”是月石勒殺掠婁武進二縣，於是遣戌中州；明年湖賊又掠南沙海虞民，是年正月大赦，伐淮南討襄陽，平之。又咸和八年三日己巳。月入南斗、與六年占同。其年七月，石勒死，彭彪以譙石生、以長安郭權、以泰州並歸順，於是遣督護喬球率眾救彪；彪敗球退。又石季龍、石斌功滅生權，咸康元年正月大赦。）

Chen Zhu said: When the moon enters the southern dipper, there will be a great amnesty throughout the country; another interpretation says there will be military action. The original commentary notes: In the first month of the sixth year of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the year being Jia Chen, the moon entered the southern dipper, and the divination text said there would be military action, while another interpretation said there would be a great amnesty. In that month, Shi Le killed and plundered the counties of Lou and Wujin, and the court sent troops to garrison the central region. In the following year, bandits in the lake region raided the people of Nansha and Haiyu. In that year, in the first month, there was a great amnesty, and the army advanced to Huainan and attacked Xiangyang, which they eventually subdued. In the third month of the eighth year of the same era, the moon again entered the southern dipper, and the divination text was the same as in the sixth year. In that year, in the seventh month, Shi Le died. Peng Biao, along with Shi Sheng from Qiao and Guo Quan from Chang'an, together with Taizhou, surrendered to the court. The court then sent Qiao Qiu to lead troops to rescue Peng Biao. Peng Biao was defeated, and Qiao Qiu withdrew. Later, Shi Jilong and Shi Bin defeated Shi Sheng and Guo Quan. In the first month of the first year of Xiankang, there was a great amnesty.

石氏曰：“月入昴中，胡王死。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯昴，天子破匈奴，不出五年，中若有白衣會。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯昂，以粟米為賤。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行犯昴，北有赤白雲緣月，兵入匈奴，地有得；赤白雲不緣月，兵入無得，期不出三年。”《黃帝占》曰：“月乘昴，貴人有憂。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon enters the mansion of Maoshou, the king of the Hu people will die. The seven stars of Maoshou and the mansion of Bi are both associated with Zhao state's territory, corresponding to Ji州, also known as Maotou, which governs the Hu people and border troops. The apocryphal text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon invades Maoshou, the Son of Heaven will defeat the Xiongnu, and within five years, if there is a mourning ceremony in the Central Plains, it will happen. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the moon invades Maoshou, it indicates that millet will be cheap. The "He Tu Di Lan Xi" also says: When the moon moves and invades Maoshou, there will be red and white clouds surrounding the moon in the north; if the army goes into the Xiongnu territory, it will gain something; if there are no red and white clouds surrounding the moon, the army will gain nothing, and the event will occur within three years. The "Huangdi Zhan" says: When the moon presses upon Maoshou, the nobleman will have worries.

郗萌曰：“月乘昴，天下用法峻，一曰水滿野，五穀不收。”又占曰：“月合昴，有赦。”又占曰：“月行觸昂，匈奴擾擾。”又曰：“月生於昂，天下有赦。”《黃帝占》曰：“月變於昂，兵在外食絕。”郗萌曰：“月變於昂，國有喪。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕昴，貴臣誅，貴女失勢。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕昂諸候黜，門戶臣有事，天下飢。”石氏曰：“月出昴北，天下有福，一曰胡王死。”

Xi Meng said: The moon pressing upon the Hairy Head mansion indicates that the laws of the world will be severe; another interpretation says there will be great floods covering the fields and no harvest of the five grains. Another divination says: When the moon is in conjunction with the Hairy Head mansion, there will be an amnesty. Another says: When the moon touches the Hairy Head mansion, the Xiongnu will be restless and disturbed. It is also said: When the moon is born from the Hairy Head mansion, there will be an amnesty. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When the moon shows an anomaly in the Hairy Head mansion, the army outside will run out of food. Xi Meng said: When the moon shows an anomaly in the Hairy Head mansion, there will be mourning within the country. The Shi school's divination says: When the moon covers the Hairy Head mansion, high-ranking ministers will be executed, and high-ranking women will lose their power. The Sea Divination says: When the moon covers the Hairy Head mansion, the princes will be deposed, the gatekeepers will have problems, and the whole world will suffer from famine. Shi Shen said: When the moon appears to the north of the Hairy Head mansion, the world will have good fortune; another interpretation says the king of the Hu people will die.

郗萌曰：“月犯昴，其國有憂，將軍死；一曰胡不安。”（按魏正始元年四月二十七日戊午，月犯昴水頭第一星，其年十月庚寅、月犯昴北第四星。占曰：“月犯昴，胡不安，將軍死。”到二年六月，征西將軍趙［亻敢］上言，鮮卑大人阿炒兒等殺掠敦煌太守王延等。將兵斬首千一百級。冬十月，又討斬阿炒兒，唐首千級。三年正月，又斬鮮卑大師首六百級。討鮮卑斬首千餘級，八月丁巳，輕車將軍特進王忠薨，積三年四月應。）

Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the mansion of Maosou, the country will have troubles, and the general will die; another interpretation says that the Hu people will be restless. Maosou is also called Maotou, which is a star associated with the Hu, so all the examples given are related to border issues involving the Xianbei and Xiongnu. The original book's small note says: In the first year of Zhongshi of the Cao Wei dynasty, on the 27th day of the fourth month, Wuwu, the moon invaded the first star of Maosou Waterhead; in the same year, on the 17th day of the tenth month, Gengyin, the moon again invaded the fourth star to the north of Maosou. The divination text says that when the moon invades Maosou, the Hu people will be restless, and the general will die. In June of the second year, General Zhao Yan of the Western Expedition submitted a report saying that the Xianbei chieftain Achaoye and others killed and plundered Wang Yan, the governor of Dunhuang, and others, and the official army led an expedition, killing 1,100 enemies. In the winter of the same year, on the tenth month, they again went out to kill Achaoye, killing 1,000 enemies. In the first month of the third year, they again beheaded six hundred Xianbei commanders; in total, the campaign against the Xianbei resulted in over 1,000 enemy deaths. On the 4th day of the eighth month, General Wang Zhong, who held the rank of Light Chariot General and Special Advisor, died. This fulfilled the prophecy over three years and four months.

《詩》曰：“月離於畢，俾滂沱矣，謂大雨也。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“月失行，離於畢，則雨。”蔡氏《月令章句》曰：“月離者，所歷也。”班固《天文志》曰：“月入皆，則多雨。”郗萌曰：“月入畢，其國君大憂；又曰兵起，期一年，先起兵者有破亡；又曰與兩股齊，近期二十日，遠期六十日，有將死。”

The Book of Poetry, Xiao Ya, "Zhan Zhan Zhi Shi" says: "The moon is attached to Bi, causing torrents of rain." This refers to the moon being attached to Bi mansion, which will bring heavy rain. Bi mansion and Mao mansion are both associated with the state of Zhao, governing military affairs on the borders and hunting, as well as rain. The Spring Annals, Kao Yi You says: when the moon deviates from its normal course and is attached to Bi mansion, it will rain. Cai Yong of the Han dynasty, in his "Yue Ling Zhang Ju," says: the term "li" refers to the position the moon passes through. Ban Gu in the Han Shu, Tian Wen Zhi says: when the moon enters Bi mansion, there will be much rain (the original text "ruo jie" should be "ruo bi"). Xi Meng says: when the moon enters Bi mansion, the ruler will have great worries; also, military actions will arise, with an expected time of one year, and the side that initiates the military action will be defeated; also, when the moon and Bi mansion are level, the one closer will have an expected time of twenty days, and the one farther will have sixty days, and a general will die.

劉向《洪範傳》曰：“月入畢中，將若相有一家事坐罪革起；一曰有女喪；一曰女主當之。”（按魏太和四年二月丁未，月加午在畢大星三月蜀劉升為丞相。諸葛亮將五萬人入天水，攻將軍賈魏副車騎將軍舒等三萬餘人，討之，斬首三萬餘人，投降者萬餘人。七月乙酉，大赦，六年正月甲戌，皇女暴薨，上及群臣皆為之服。五月甲戌，皇太子殿下薨。十一月壬寅，吳越賊將周賀於東萊牟平之內恣殺掠，與青州刺史程喜戰，射殺周賀，斬首四千餘級，又生擒八千餘人。青龍元年八月已未，大赦。二年三月庚寅，故漢帝山陽公崩，以天子禮葬之，諡曰獻帝。積三年六月應也。）

Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan Lun" says: When the moon enters the Net Mansion, a general or prime minister will have a family member who will be dismissed from office due to a crime; another interpretation is that there will be a funeral for a woman; yet another is that the female ruler will bear this calamity. The original commentary notes: In the second year of Tahe in the Cao Wei dynasty, in February, on the day of Dingwei, the moon was positioned at the noon position and directly faced the great star of the Net Mansion - "moon at noon" means the moon was at the position of noon; in March, Liu Sheng became the prime minister of Shu Han. Zhuge Liang led five thousand soldiers into Tian Shui, attacking General Jia Wei and Deputy Chief General Shu, and three other generals with over thirty thousand troops. The official army defeated them, killing over thirty thousand and capturing over ten thousand. In July, on the day of Yiyou, a general amnesty was declared. In the sixth year, in January, on the day of Jiaxu, the imperial daughter died suddenly, and the emperor and ministers mourned her. In May, on the day of Jiaxu, the crown prince died. In November, on the day of Renyin, the traitorous general Zhou He of Wu killed and looted in the territory of Moupingshan County, Donglai Prefecture, fought against the governor of Qingzhou, Cheng Xi, and was shot dead, with over four thousand heads cut off and eight thousand captured alive. On August of the first year of Qinglong, a general amnesty was declared. In March of the second year, on the day of Gengyin, the former emperor of Han, the mountain yang gong, died - he was the last emperor of Han who abdicated the throne to Cao Pi - the court buried him with the rites of a sovereign, with the posthumous title of Xian Emperor. All these events took three and a half years to come to pass.

郗萌曰：“月入畢，有拘主，近期百日，中期十月，遠期一年；又曰小人自立；一曰小人罔上；一曰將相驚；又曰大赦，期三月；一曰在畢口，期六十日，赦，在踵，期三十日；又曰有土功；又曰有以弋獵事惑其君者。”石氏曰：“月居畢中，不出其年，女君死。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯畢，天子用法以誅罰急，貴人有死者。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月犯畢，天下有變令。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon enters the Net mansion, there will be an event of imprisoning the sovereign. The near occurrence happens within one hundred days, the medium occurrence within ten months, and the distant occurrence within a year. Another saying is that a petty person will establish himself as the master. Another saying is that a petty person will deceive the sovereign. Another saying is that ministers and generals will be startled. Another saying is that there will be a great amnesty, occurring within three months.

Another saying is that there will be earth and wood construction projects. Another saying is that someone will use hunting matters to mislead his sovereign. Shi Shen said: When the moon stays in the Net mansion, it will not leave that year, and the female sovereign will die.

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" said: When the moon invades the Net mansion, there will be changes in the laws and regulations of the country.

《黃帝占》曰：“月犯畢，出其北，陰國有憂。”《海中占》曰：“月犯畢，南陽國有憂，一曰賊臣誅，不然邊有兵。”郗萌曰：“月行犯畢赤星，臣弒主；一曰乘畢赤星，將死。”又占曰：“月犯蝕畢，有小疾。”又曰：“合畢，天有下赦，合其陰，水；合其陽，風；又曰：月變於畢，邊境有事。”《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕畢，使邊者凶。”《郗萌占》曰：“月蝕畢，諸侯相謀。”又曰：“月入畢中而暈，人主生；一曰人主伐。”又占曰：“月入畢而聖人生；一曰人主伐。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Net mansion from its northern side, the Yin states will have calamity.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕畢中，星居月中，不出其年，女主當之。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕畢星，星居月中，不出其年，女主當之。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕畢星，星居月中，不出其年，女主當之。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕畢星，中有土功事，一曰：女主有憂。大臣繫囚者；一曰天下兵起，是謂小人國。”陳卓曰：“月行宿濁而霧，君使有道死於諸侯曰；一曰諸侯之使有道死者。”（濁者畢也。）《陳卓占》曰：“月犯附耳，兵起，若將相有喪憂，不即免退。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, the star is within the moon's disk, and this will not occur in the same year; the female ruler will bear this calamity. The *Shi School Divination* says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, the star is within the moon's disk, and this will not occur in the same year; the female ruler will bear this calamity. This passage is repeated verbatim, and both versions are preserved. The *Shi School Divination* also says: When the moon covers the star in the Net mansion, it indicates there will be earth and wood construction activities; another interpretation is that the female ruler will have sorrow, and high officials will be imprisoned; yet another interpretation is that warfare will arise throughout the land, which is called "the country of petty people." Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the浊 mansion and a great fog arises, the king's envoys will die in the territory of the feudal lords (the word "says" at the end is possibly a later addition); another interpretation is that envoys sent by the feudal lords will die on the way, "dying on the road" meaning dying on the journey. (Original note: "Zhu" is another name for the Net mansion.) The *Chen Zhuo Divination* says: When the moon invades the star of the attached ear, warfare will arise, or there will be mourning and sorrow for ministers and generals, otherwise officials will be dismissed from office.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯觜觿，小將有死者。”《海中占》曰：“月犯觜觿，小戰；又曰小將吏多死。”郗萌曰：“月犯觜觿，下將畢叛。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯觜觿，道多死人。”

The纬book "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's View of Joy" says: When the moon invades the Ziwei mansion, lower-ranking generals will die. The Ziwei Three Stars and the Shen mansion belong to the territory of Wei, governing matters of gathering and storing troops. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the Ziwei mansion, there will be small-scale battles; it also says that many lower-ranking officers will die. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the Ziwei mansion, subordinate generals will all rebel. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades the Ziwei mansion, there will be many dead people on the roads.

郗萌曰：“月宿參，若宿伐，皆為風雨。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯參伐，有兵事，競城堡。”《海中占》曰：“月犯參，其國有憂；又曰國有兵事。”郗萌曰：“月犯參，有軍將死。”《海中占》曰：“月犯參右肩，右將戰死；犯左肩，左將戰死。”郗萌曰：“月犯右股，大將戰死；犯赤星，將誅。”石氏曰：“月犯乘參右股，五中占曰：“月蝕參伐，兵大起。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the Three Stars mansion or near the star Fa below it, there will be wind, rain, and storms. The Seven Stars of the Three Stars mansion and the stars Zi and Wei belong to the territory of Wei, and they indicate military commanders and warfare. The book of纬书 "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the Three Stars mansion and the star Fa, there will be military conflicts and struggles over fortresses. The book "Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the Three Stars mansion, the country will have troubles; it also says that there will be military conflicts within the country. Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the Three Stars mansion, there will be the death of a military commander. The book "Sea Divination" says: When the moon invades the right shoulder star of the Three Stars mansion, the commander of the right army will die in battle; when it invades the left shoulder star, the commander of the left army will die in battle. Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the right thigh star, the general will die; when it invades the red star, the commander will be executed. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades and covers the right thigh star of the Three Stars mansion—there is a missing text here, and the divination text is incomplete—the text continues with a passage from "Five Middle Divination": When the moon obscures the Three Stars mansion and the star Fa, there will be great military conflicts.

《郗萌占》曰：“月宿東井，雨；不雨則風。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月入東井，諸侯貴人多死。”《荊州占》曰：“月入東井，有兵。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯入東井中，其國君有憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯東井，有水事，若水令。”

The Xi Meng divination text says: When the moon is near the eastern well mansion, it indicates rain; if there is no rain, there will be wind. The eight stars of the eastern well mansion and the ghost mansion belong to the territory of the state of Qin, corresponding to the state of Yongzhou, and they presage water-related events and legal matters. The apocryphal book "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon enters the eastern well mansion, many nobles and high officials will die. The Jingzhou divination text says: When the moon enters the eastern well mansion, there will be military affairs. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" also says: When the moon invades and enters the eastern well mansion, the ruler will have worries. The Huangdi divination text says: When the moon invades the eastern well mansion, there will be water-related events, or the government will issue policies related to water management.

《郗萌占》曰：“月犯東井，軍將死。”（按魏青龍三年十一月己丑，月犯東井轅西第一星。占曰：“月犯東井，將死；一曰：國內有憂；一曰：有水令。”到十二月己卯，右將軍朱益薨。四年十二月癸巳，司空穎陰侯群薨。又景初元年九月壬申，詔曰：“今年雨過差，翼兗徐豫四州特劇。遇水溺沒死者，所在開倉救濟。”瘐辰，皇后毛氏崩。積二年十一月應。正始五年十一月壬申，月犯東井距星。六月癸酉，月犯東井南轅西頭第二星。占曰：“月犯東井，將死。”到七年十一月庚子，鎮北將軍呂昭薨。積二年，魏嘉平三年四月戌寅，月犯東井南轅西頭第二星，占曰：“月犯東北井，將死，一曰：有憂。”到七月壬戌，甄皇后崩，太尉王陵誅，積四年。）

The "Ximeng Divination" says: When the moon invades the East Well, the general will die. The East Well has eight stars arranged in two yuans, north and south, each with four stars, so the following text refers to the position by "the first star of the western head of the southern yuans"; the "distance star" is the standard star used to calculate the degree of a mansion. The original commentary says: In the third year of Cao Wei's Qinglong, November Jichou, the moon invaded the first star of the western head of the southern yuan of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die; another interpretation says there will be domestic worries; another says there will be policies related to water. In December Jichou, General Zhu Yi died. In December of the fourth year, Gui Si, Cao Shu, the Grand Minister of the County of Yingyin, died. In the first year of Jingchou, September Ren Shen, an edict was issued saying: This year has had excessive rain, especially in the four states of Ji, Yan, Xu, and Yu (the original text says "Yi" but should be "Ji"), which have been flooded, with many people drowned. In Geng Chen (the original text says "Yu Chen"), the Empress Ma died. The prophecy was fulfilled after two years and eleven months. In the fifth year of Zhengshi, November Ren Shen, the moon invaded the distance star of the East Well. In June Gui You, the moon invaded the second star of the western head of the southern yuans of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die. In November of the seventh year, General Lü Zhao, the Commander of the Northern Army, died. The prophecy was fulfilled after two years. In the third year of Wei Jiaping, April Wuyin, the moon invaded the second star of the western head of the southern yuans of the East Well. The divination says that when the moon invades the East Well, the general will die; another interpretation says there will be calamity. In July Ren Xu, the Princess Zhen died, and Grand Minister Wang Ling (the original text says "Wang Ling") was executed. The prophecy was fulfilled after four years.

《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕東井，大臣有謀，皇后不安，五穀不登。”《陳卓》曰：“月行宿東井而霧，有水患。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯鉞，大臣誅。”郗萌曰：“月中犯乘鉞，兵起，斧鉞用。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon covers the Well mansion, ministers will have secret plots, the empress will not rest in peace, and there will be a poor harvest of grain. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Well mansion and a great fog arises in the sky, there will be floods. The esoteric text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon invades the钺 star—the钺 star is located before the Well mansion, indicating execution and punishment—ministers will be executed. Xi Meng says: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades or presses upon the钺 star, military actions will arise, and the use of axes and halberds for punishment will be enacted.

又曰：“月中犯乘鉞，若蝕鉞，為內亂。”（按魏正始四年十月七日十一月十四日，月犯乘守鉞，兵起。一曰斧鉞用，是月太傅舞陽侯上言：吳將諸葛恪屯據。遣眾軍討恪，恪棄城奔走。投水死者萬計。到五年三月己卯，大將曹爽率眾軍徵蜀，積六月應。又按魏嘉平五年，月暈犯鉞，兵起，一曰光祿夫夫張緝皆誅，九月車騎將軍郭準上言，姜維等攻隴西，斬首萬餘人，積十月應。）

Xi Meng also said: When the moon is in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays on the钺 star, it indicates internal disorder. The original commentary states: In the fourth year of Cao Wei's Zhengshi period, on the seventh day of the tenth month and the fourteenth day of the eleventh month, the moon invaded, pressed upon, and remained on the钺 star, indicating military actions would arise. Another interpretation is that the use of斧钺 punishment would be enacted. In that month, the Grand Tutor and Duke of Wuyang, Sima Yi, submitted a memorial stating that the Wu general Zhuge Ke had stationed his troops to hold the position. The court dispatched various armies to attack Zhuge Ke, who abandoned the city and fled, drowning tens of thousands. In the third month of the fifth year, the Grand General Cao Shuang led the armies to attack Shu Han, and the events were verified after six months. Further examination of the fifth year of Jiaping in the Wei dynasty, when the moon's halo invaded the钺 star, indicated military actions would arise. Another interpretation is that the officials such as Zhang Ji were all executed. In September, the Marquess of Chiqi, Guo Huai, submitted a memorial stating that Jiang Wei and others attacked Longxi, and the official army killed over ten thousand enemy soldiers. The events were verified after ten months.

《郗萌占》曰：“月犯輿鬼，有軍將死。”陳卓曰：“月行宿輿鬼而霧，軍戰，主人敗。”又占曰：“月犯乘天尸，亂臣在內。”郗萌曰：“月有入輿鬼者，皆為財寶出。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯鬼，大臣有誅；一曰國有憂。”陳卓曰：“月犯鬼天尸，國君有憂，大亂，大臣誅。”

The book "Xi Meng's Divination" says: When the moon enters the Ghost Mansion, there will be the death of a general leading troops. The four stars of the Ghost Mansion and the Well Mansion belong to the territory of the state of Qin, governing rituals and funerals. The white light in the center is called "Ji Shi," also known as the Heavenly Corpse. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Ghost Mansion and a great fog arises, two armies will fight, and the main side will suffer defeat. Another divination says: When the moon invades and presses upon the Heavenly Corpse, there will be internal disorder among the ministers. Xi Meng says: Whenever the moon enters the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that wealth will be dispersed. The esoteric text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon invades the Ghost Mansion, there will be ministers who will be executed; another interpretation says the country will face calamity. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon invades the Heavenly Corpse of the Ghost Mansion, the sovereign will be in distress, the whole country will be in chaos, and ministers will be executed.

又曰：“月入輿鬼乘質者，君貴人憂，金玉用，人民多病；從南入為男，從北入為女，從西入為老，棺木倍貴。”（按魏青龍二年二月辛卯，月犯輿鬼中央星，其年十二月甲子，復犯，輿鬼為天鑕，主斬殺。占曰：“民多病，大臣憂，又曰：國有憂。”三年正月辛巳，自冬涉春，節氣不和，因下詔曰：“連年疫疾，雕傷人民。”二月丁巳，文德皇后崩。四年五月乙卯，司徒樂平侯董昭薨。三年三月應。魏正始二年九月癸酉，月犯鬼西北星，主金玉。三年二月丁未，月犯鬼西南星，主布帛。占曰：“大臣憂，一曰：有錢金到。”八月丁巳，輕車將特進王忠薨。至四年甲子，上加服元，賜諸侯王公公卿校將軍以下錢各有差，一年五月應。又魏嘉平二年十月丙申，月犯鬼距星。五年三月一日，月犯鬼距星，如占。六年七月甄皇后崩，太尉王凌楚王彪有謀，妻子五歲以下皆誅，積十月應。）陳卓曰：“月蝕輿鬼，貴臣皇后有憂，天下不安，近期一年，遠期三年。”

Chen Zhuo also said: When the moon enters the Ghost Mansion and covers the central star within it (i.e., the accumulated corpse qi), the sovereign and nobleman will have worries, and gold and jade will be used, with many people suffering from illness; if the moon enters from the south, it indicates a man, from the north a woman, from the west an old person, and the price of coffins will double. The original commentary says: In the second year of Qinglong of the Cao Wei dynasty, the second month, on the day of Xinmao, the moon invaded the central star of the Ghost Mansion. That year, in the twelfth month on the day of Jiazi, it invaded again. The Ghost Mansion is the heavenly chopping block, which governs execution. The divination says that the people will suffer from illness, the ministers will have worries, and the state will have worries. In the third year, the first month on the day of Xinsi, from winter to the Spring Festival, the qi was unbalanced, so an edict was issued saying: Continuous plague, the people were greatly affected. In the second month on the day of Dingsi, the Empress Wen De died. In the fourth year, the fifth month on the day of Yimao, the Minister of State Luo Ping Marquis Dong Zhao died. The total time spanned three years and three months, which was verified. In the second year of Zhengshi of the Wei dynasty, the ninth month on the day of Guiyou, the moon invaded the northwest star of the Ghost Mansion, which governs gold and jade. In the third year, the second month on the day of Dingwei, the moon invaded the southwest star of the Ghost Mansion, which governs silk and cloth. The divination says that ministers will have worries, and another says that wealth and silk will arrive. In the eighth month on the day of Dingsi, the light chariot general and special advisor Wang Zhong died. By the fourth year of Zhengshi on the day of Jiazi, the emperor held the ceremony of the coming of age, and bestowed money to the marquises, dukes, ministers, and generals, with varying degrees. The total time spanned one year and five months, which was verified. Again, in the second year of Jiaping of the Wei dynasty, the tenth month on the day of Bingshen, the moon invaded the distant star of the Ghost Mansion; in the third year, the third month on the day of Dingsi, the moon invaded the distant star of the Ghost Mansion again, both verifying exactly as the divination said. In the sixth year, the seventh month, the Queen Mother Zhen died, and the Grand Minister Wang Ling conspired with Prince Chu Gao Biao, and even the children under five years old were executed. The total time spanned ten months, which was verified. Chen Zhuo said: When the moon covers the Ghost Mansion, the powerful ministers and empresses will have worries, and the country will be in turmoil. The near time is one year, the distant time is three years.

郗萌曰：“月入天庫，天下有起土。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯柳，有木功事。”又占曰：“月犯柳，其國有憂；又曰有軍將死。”石氏曰：“月犯乘柳，工匠興。”陳卓曰：“月行宿柳而霧，民多陰內之病；又鳥多死。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕柳，王者以病，不安宮室。”《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕柳，大臣憂。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon enters the celestial storehouse, there will be construction and earthworks throughout the land. The纬书 "He Tu Di Lian Xi" says: When the moon invades the willow mansion, there will be activities related to carpenters and builders. The willow mansion consists of eight stars, belonging to the territory of the Zhou kingdom and the three rivers, and it is the mouth of the Vermilion Bird, governing grasses and food. The "He Tu Di Lian Xi" also predicts: When the moon invades the willow mansion, the country will have troubles; it also says that a general will die. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades and covers the willow mansion, the activities of craftsmen will increase. Chen Zhuo said: When the moon passes through the willow mansion and a great fog arises in the sky, the people will suffer from many hidden internal diseases; it also says that many birds will die. The "Shi School Divination" says: When the moon obscures the willow mansion, the king will fall ill and will not be at ease in the palace.

The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Delight and Play" states: When the moon enters the mansion of Zhang Xu, there will be a banquet to entertain guests. The six stars of Zhang Xu belong to the territory of the Zhou state and the three rivers, and they are the gullet of the Vermilion Bird, governing treasures, ritual vessels used in ancestral temples, and feasting for guests. Xi Meng says: When the moon enters the mansion of Zhang Xu, ministers will die, and the country will suffer calamity. "The Yellow Emperor's Divination" states: When the moon obscures Zhang Xu, powerful ministers will lose their power, the empress will have worries, and this will last for seventy days.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯翼，飛蟲多死。”《海中占》曰：“月犯翼，其國有憂；一曰相傳令；一曰外夷有兵。”郗萌曰：“月犯翼，有軍將死；若北夷有兵。”又曰：“月犯翼，女主惡之。”《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕翼，忠臣見，譖言正事者亡，不出其年。”陳卓曰：“月行宿翼而霧，後惡之。”

The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Delight and Worry" says: When the moon enters the Wings mansion, flying insects will die in large numbers. The Wings mansion consists of twenty-two stars, and together with the Chariot mansion, they belong to the territory of Chu, corresponding to Jingzhou. They are the wings of the Vermilion Bird, governing the music bureau and distant guests. The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon enters the Wings mansion, the country will have troubles; another interpretation says that ministers will spread orders; yet another says that there will be military affairs among foreign tribes. Xi Meng says: When the moon enters the Wings mansion, a general with troops will die; or there will be military affairs among northern tribes. It also says: When the moon enters the Wings mansion, the female ruler will dislike this celestial phenomenon. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon covers the Wings mansion, loyal ministers will be revealed, and those who spread slander and interfere with official affairs will perish, without delay in the same year. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon passes through the Wings mansion and a great fog arises, the queen will dislike this celestial phenomenon.

《海中占》曰：“月犯軫，兵車用，近期二年，遠期三年。”《郗萌占》曰：“月宿軫，風；又曰：月犯軫，其國有憂；一曰兵車出，近期一年，遠三年中。”班固《天文志》曰：“月入軫，則多風。”《黃帝占》曰：“月蝕軫，貴人亡，皇后不安，期有八十日者。”

The Sea of the Sea Divination says: When the moon enters the Chariot mansion, there will be military movements. The near prediction is two years, the distant prediction is three years.

《海中占》曰：“月入攝提，聖人受制。一曰謀臣有側。”《郗萌占》曰：“月犯蝕大角，強國亡，戰不勝。一曰大人憂之，期三年；一曰大角貫月，天子惡之。”陳卓曰：“月犯大角，天下疾；又曰有水災；一曰月蝕大角，天子死，期十三年中。”郗萌曰：“月犯天牢，以獄不平。”貫索之別名

The book "Sea Divination" says: When the moon enters the star of She Ti, sages will be controlled by others; another interpretation is that there are ministers with disloyal intentions. The six stars of She Ti are arranged on both sides of Da Jiao, governing the establishment of seasons and the regulation of records. "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the moon invades and covers Da Jiao star, a powerful state will perish, and military campaigns will not succeed; another interpretation is that the person in high position will worry about this, and the time will be three years; yet another interpretation is that Da Jiao star pierces the moon, and the emperor will dislike this celestial phenomenon. The single star of Da Jiao is the seat of the heavenly king. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon invades Da Jiao, there will be plague in the world; another interpretation is there will be floods; yet another interpretation is that when the moon covers Da Jiao, the emperor will die, and the time will be within thirteen years. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades Tian Lao star, it indicates unjust legal judgments. (Original book note: Tian Lao is another name for Guan Suo.)

郗萌曰：“月犯織女，女主有誅，一曰人主有誅死。”石氏曰：“月犯守東西咸，女主因淫至禍，有陰謀；不通或咸，必有賊。”（按晉孝武帝大元二十一年四月，月犯東咸，吳郡內史欽發人戒嚴，吳興諸郡響應為賊也。）石氏曰：“月入天市中，大將死，或易政。”

Xi Meng said: The moon invading the Vega star indicates that the female ruler will be executed; another interpretation suggests that the ruler will be killed and die. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades and stays in the two groups of stars called Dong Xian and Xi Xian, the female ruler will suffer calamity due to immorality and there will be plots; if the connection between the two Xians is cut off, there must be thieves. Dong Xian and Xi Xian each consist of four stars, located above the Fang Su, which governs prevention of licentiousness. The following is a note from the original text: In the twentieth year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Taoyuan era, in April, the moon invaded Dong Xian; Qin, the internal historian of Wu Prefecture, mobilized troops for defense, and various prefectures in Wu Xing rose up in response, becoming rebels. Shi Shen said: When the moon enters the Tian Shi Enclosure, the general will die, or there will be changes in the government's policies.

《黃帝占》曰：“月入天市，有更幣之令。”《海中占》曰：“月入天市中，近臣有抵罪者。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行入天市，及有變留其中，女王憂，將若相有戮死於市者。郗萌曰：“月犯乘天市，粟貴。”石氏曰：“月犯候星，有憂。”石氏曰：“月犯帝座、宗星，人主有憂。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Heavenly Market Enclosure, there will be changes in currency regulations. The Sea Divination says: When the moon enters the Heavenly Market Enclosure, there will be a minister who is punished. The Heavenly Market Enclosure consists of twenty-two stars, which govern weights, measures, and trade. The esoteric text "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon moves into the Heavenly Market Enclosure, or if it changes its path or stays there, the queen will have worries, and a general or prime minister may be executed in the market. (The source text is missing the following part.) Xi Meng says: When the moon invades and presses upon the Heavenly Market Enclosure, grain prices will rise. Shi Shen says: When the moon invades the waiting star, there will be calamity. Shi Shen also says: When the moon invades the emperor's seat star and the ancestral star, the sovereign will have worries.

石氏曰：“月犯宦者，侍人誅。”石氏曰：“月犯天江，大水關梁塞。”陳卓曰：“月犯建星，有臣相譖。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：“魏陳留王景元元年二月，月犯建星，後鍾會鄧艾破蜀，會譖艾，遂皆夷滅。”）郗萌曰：“月變於建星，有亂臣更天子之法令者；一曰易將相，近臣多死。”（按晉咸康三年九月戊子，月犯建星。占曰：易相，一曰大將死。五年丞相王導薨。庚戌代輔，以太尉郗鑑徵西大將軍庚亮並死也。）

Shi Shen said: When the moon invades the official star, palace attendants will be executed. Shi Shen also said: When the moon invades the celestial river star, there will be great floods, and bridges and passageways will be blocked. Chen Zhuo said: When the moon invades the construction star, there will be ministers who slander each other. The original commentary says: The "Song Book · Astronomical Records" states that in the first year of Jingyuan of the Cao Wei Prince of Chenliu, in the second month, the moon invaded the construction star; later Zhong Hui and Deng Ai attacked and destroyed Shu Han, Zhong Hui slandered Deng Ai, and both were executed. Xi Meng said: When the moon shows abnormality in the construction star, there will be rebellious ministers changing the emperor's laws; another interpretation is replacing generals and ministers, and many close attendants will die. The original commentary says: In the third year of Xiankang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the ninth month on the fifth day of the fifth month (Wuzi), the moon invaded the construction star. The divination text says there will be replacement of the prime minister, another interpretation is that a general will die. In the fifth year of Xiankang, the prime minister Wang Dao died; on the day of Gengxu, the chancellor Taiwei Xi Jian and the general commander of the Western Expedition Yu Liang also died.

《黃帝占》曰：“月犯天弁，粟貴；一犯一貴，數犯數貴。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯河鼓；左星，左將死；右星，右將死；一曰所中者誅；一曰有軍敗，亡其大將，有兵起。”《河圖占》曰：“月乘大陵，天下盡喪；星從，兵革起，死人如丘山，星希則無。”石氏曰：“月乘捲舌，天下多喪。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入五車、天庫，兵起，道不通。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：“宋武大明七年十二月，月犯五年，後二年帝后崩，大臣將相誅滅，皇子被害，皇后崩，四方兵起，遣諸軍鋒外討之。）石氏曰：“月犯五車，兵起移駕。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon invades the Tian Bian star, grain prices rise; each invasion causes a rise, and multiple invasions result in repeated rises. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the moon invades the He Gu star, invading the left star causes the commander of the left army to die, invading the right star causes the commander of the right army to die; another account says the one being invaded is executed; yet another says there is a military defeat, losing their general, and military affairs arise. The Yellow River Chart Divination says: When the moon presses upon the Da Ling star, there will be widespread mourning throughout the land; if there are stars following within the Da Ling, military conflicts arise, and the dead pile up like hills; if the stars are sparse, there will be no such events. Shi Shen says: When the moon presses upon the Juan She star, there will be many deaths throughout the land. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Wu Che and Tian Kuo, military affairs arise and roads become impassable. The original text's marginal notes say: The "Book of the Later Han · Astronomical Records" states that in the seventh year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Liu Song dynasty, December, the moon invaded Wu Che; afterwards, within two years, the emperor died, ministers and generals were executed, princes were killed, the empress died, and wars broke out in all directions, with the court sending various armies to suppress the rebels. Shi Shen says: When the moon invades Wu Che, military affairs arise and the imperial carriage moves.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行天淵中，臣逾主。”《黃帝占》曰：“月行天淵中，若犯之貴人死。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯天關，有亂臣更天子之法，主關津者有罪，王者憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“月出天門中道，百姓安寧，歲美無兵。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月乘天高，將死，外臣有誅者。”石氏曰：“月出天門中道之南，君惡之，大臣不附。”

The book of celestial phenomena, "He Tu Di Lan Xi," says: The moon moves through the star Tian Yuan, and ministers surpass the sovereign. "Huang Di Zhan" says: The moon moves through the star Tian Yuan, if it invades it, the nobleman will die. "Huang Di Zhan" also says: The moon invades the star Tian Guan, there will be rebellious ministers changing the sovereign's laws, those in charge of the passes and ferry crossings will be punished, and the sovereign will have worries. "Huang Di Zhan" also says: The moon emerges from the middle path of Tian Men, the people will be at peace, the harvest will be abundant and there will be no military conflicts. "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: The moon presses upon the star Tian Gao, the meeting will result in death, and there will be ministers outside the court who will be executed. Shi Shen says: The moon emerges from the southern path of Tian Men, the sovereign will dislike this celestial phenomenon, and the ministers will not be willing to submit.

郗萌曰：“月犯南河戌，為中邦凶。”石氏曰：“月行南河戌中，四方兵起，有喪，若大旱，百姓數病。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行南河之南，兵旱並起，男子喪乃始。”劉向《洪範傳》曰：“月入南河戌，門民疾疫。”《黃帝占》曰：“月出天門中道之北，胡主死，天下多死。”石氏曰：“月行北河戌之間，冠帶國兵盡起，道不通。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行北河之北，兵水並起，女子喪乃始。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon invades the southern river and the star of the戍, it indicates misfortune for the Central Plains region. The southern river and northern river each consist of three stars, located on either side of the eastern well, serving as the heavenly gate. Shi Shen said: When the moon moves through the southern river and the戍 star, wars will break out in all directions, there will be funerals, or a great drought, with frequent illness among the people. The apocryphal text "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon moves south of the southern river, both military calamities and drought will occur simultaneously, and the death of men will begin from this. Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Wu Xing Zhuan Lun" says: When the moon enters the southern river and the戍 star, it indicates an outbreak of plague among the people. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon emerges from the heavenly gate in the northern direction, the ruler of the Hu people will die, and there will be many deaths throughout the land. Shi Shen said: When the moon moves between the northern river and the戍 star, the country of civilized customs and etiquette will experience widespread warfare and blocked roads. The "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon moves north of the northern river, both military calamities and floods will occur simultaneously, and the death of women will begin from this.

郗萌曰：“月經南戌之南，刑法峻暴，誅伐不當，經北戌之北，以女、金錢、奢侈、貪色失治道，皆近期三年，中期六年，遠期九年而災至。”石氏曰：“月犯五諸侯，諸侯誅。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：宋孝武大明三年四月，月犯五諸侯，時竟陵王誕反，遣沈慶之領羽林兵戰屬城。）《帝覽嬉》曰：“月入軒轅，有亂臣，期不出三年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行軒轅中，女主失勢，其所中以官名名之，一曰王官有不治者。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon passes south of the southern Xu, it indicates severe and cruel punishment, and unjust punishment; when it passes north of the northern Xu, it indicates the loss of the way of governing the country due to women, money, luxury, and indulgence in music and beauty. These are all events that will occur within three years, medium ones within six years, and distant ones within nine years. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades the five feudal stars, the feudal lords will be executed. The following is the original annotation: The "Astronomical Records" in the "Book of Song" says that in the third year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Liu Song dynasty, in the fourth month, the moon invaded the five feudal stars; at that time, Prince Liu Dan of Jingling rebelled, and the court sent Shen Qingzhi with the feathered forest soldiers to fight in the cities under his jurisdiction. The apocryphal text "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" says: When the moon enters the Xuanyuan, there will be chaos among the ministers in the court, and the event will occur within three years. "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment of the River" also says: When the moon moves through the middle of Xuanyuan, the female ruler will lose power; which star is invaded by the moon, the official corresponding to that star will be identified; another interpretation says that there is an official who has failed in his duties in the royal court.

《海中占》曰：“月犯軒轅大星，女主當之。”（按晉安帝元興三年四月甲午，月押掩軒轅第二星，明年七月，永安皇后崩。又按晉孝武大元五年七月庚子月犯軒轅大星，九月癸未，皇后王氏崩。）《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯軒轅左右角，臣有誅者。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯女御星，女御有憂。”郗萌曰：“月犯御星，御僕死。”石氏曰：“月中犯乘軒轅大星，民大飢大流，太后宗有誅者，若有罪；中犯乘少星，民小飢小流，皇后宗有誅者，若有罪。”

The book "Sea in the Middle" says: When the moon obscures the great star of Xuanyuan, the female ruler will bear the calamity. The seventeen stars of Xuanyuan govern the position of the queen consort, and the great star among them represents the image of the female ruler. The original commentary notes: In the fourth month of Jiawu in the third year of Yuanxing of Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the moon obscured the second star of Xuanyuan, and the queen consort died in the following month of Yong'an in the next year. Another record states: In the seventh month of Gengzi in the fifth year of Taoyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the moon invaded the great star of Xuanyuan, and the queen consort Wang died in the ninth month of癸未. The divination text "Heavenly Map of the Emperor's View" says: When the moon invades the left and right angle stars of Xuanyuan, there will be ministers who are executed. The same text also says: When the moon invades the female palace star, the female palace will have worries. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades the imperial star, the imperial attendant will die. Shi Shen says: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades or presses upon the great star of Xuanyuan, there will be great famine and great migration, and members of the empress dowager's family will be executed or punished; when the moon is directly in the middle and invades or presses upon the small star, there will be minor famine and minor migration, and members of the empress's family will be executed or punished.

郗萌曰：“月乘軒轅端，臣子反，其事成。”《荊州占》曰：“月乘軒轅端，女主有散死亡去者。”郗萌曰：“月蝕軒轅，女主有憂，以官名名之。”石氏曰：“月入軒轅中，犯乘守之，有逆賊，有火災。”《巫咸占》曰：“月犯少微，處士有憂。”（按《續晉陽秋》曰：“會稽謝數、李慶緒隱若耶山，初，月犯少微，時戴達名著於敷，時人憂之，俄而敷死，會稽嘲曰：“吳中高士，便是求死不得也。）

Xi Meng said: The moon covers the end star of Xuanyuan, there will be rebellion by ministers, and the matter will succeed. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon covers the end star of Xuanyuan, there will be dispersion, death, or departure in the female ruler's side. Xi Meng said: When the moon covers Xuanyuan, the female ruler will have worries; the star that is covered will indicate the official position associated with that star. Shi Shen said: When the moon enters Xuanyuan, if it invades, presses, or stays there, there will be rebels and fires. The "Wuxian Divination" says: When the moon invades the Xiaomi star, the recluse will have worries. The following is the original commentary: Tan Daoluan's "Xu Jingyang Chou" says that Xie Shu and Li Qingxu of Kuaiji lived in Ruoye Mountain. At first, the moon invaded Xiaomi, at that time Dai Da was famous in Fu, and people worried about him, but soon Fu died. The people of Kuaiji mocked saying: The high scholars of Wu, are they really seeking death but cannot get it? (The names in the original text are corrupted or missing, so they are kept as they are.)

《黃帝占》曰：“月入中，犯乘少微，女主憂；一曰宰相易。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯少微南第一星，諸處士憂；犯第二星，諸儀士憂；犯第三星，諸博士憂；犯第四星，諸大夫憂；易史官黜。”石氏曰：“月入中，犯乘守少微，皆為五官亂，宰相憂。”《荊州占》曰：“道太微，為宮中逆亂，政不行，又曰月行太微中，貴者失勢，必奪權勞所中，成刑以官命之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters and invades or presses upon the few minor stars of the Xiao Wei constellation, the female sovereign will have worries; another interpretation says that the prime minister will be replaced. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon invades the first star of the southern part of the Xiao Wei constellation, the common scholars will have worries; when it invades the second star, the common officials will have worries; when it invades the third star, the common doctoral students will have worries; when it invades the fourth star, the common senior officials will have worries, and the historians will be replaced and dismissed. Shi Shen says: When the moon enters and invades, presses upon, or stays in the Xiao Wei constellation, it indicates disorder among the five officials, and the prime minister will have worries. The Jingzhou Divination also says: When the moon passes through the Tai Wei constellation, it indicates rebellion and disorder within the palace, and the government orders will not be carried out; it also says that when the moon moves within the Tai Wei constellation, the powerful people will lose their power, and they will certainly lose their authority and position, the one who is attacked will be punished, and the same official name they are responsible for will be used to identify them.

《黃帝占》曰：“月行入太微中，皆為大臣有憂；一曰大臣死。”郗萌曰：“月入太微中，君弱臣強，四夷兵不制，有奸人來聽伺主之庭者；又曰有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“月入太微庭中，東出，大臣出令如主；入中華西門，出右掖門，必有反臣。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯太微庭，臣弒其主。”《海中占》曰：“月犯南門左右扉，將相有免墮者，期不出三年；左右扉者，執法也。”石氏曰：“月入太微庭，所中犯乘守者，皆為天子所誅，若有罪者。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Taimei Enclosure, it indicates that ministers will have worries; another interpretation says that a minister will die. Xi Meng says: When the moon enters the Taimei Enclosure, the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, the forces of the surrounding barbarian tribes cannot be controlled, and there will be wicked people who secretly listen and spy on the court of the sovereign; it also indicates there will be mourning. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon enters the Taimei Court and exits from the east, the ministers will issue orders as if they were the sovereign; when it enters from the Central Gate of the West and exits from the Right Wing Gate, there will certainly be a rebellious minister. The Jingzhou Divination also says: When the moon invades the Taimei Court, a minister will kill his sovereign. The Hai Zhong Divination says: When the moon invades the left and right gates of the Southern Gate, there will be ministers who are dismissed and removed from office, and this will happen within three years; the left and right gates refer to the Left Law Officer and the Right Law Officer stars. Shi Shen says: When the moon enters the Taimei Court, all the stars that are confronted, pressed upon, or guarded by the moon will have their people executed by the Son of Heaven or punished.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月入太微庭，所中犯乘守者，各以其官名之。”《春秋緯合誠圖》曰：“入華闕門者，臣不臣。”石氏曰：“月入太微中，乘東西門若左右掖門，而南出端門者，皆為臣弒君之候也。”《荊州占》曰：“月入天子宮者，為大臣者死。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月入太微而出端門者，臣不臣。”石氏曰：“日入太微中，乘東西門若左右掖門，而南出端門者，皆為必有反臣；又曰入西門出東門，皆為人君不安，欲求賢佐；入中華西門，出中華東門，皆為臣出令；入太陰西門，出太陰東門，皆為天下大亂；有喪，若大水。”

The book of纬 (supplementary) texts, "The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Delight and Joy," says: When the moon enters the Taimei Court, any star that is attacked, suppressed, or guarded by it should be identified by the official title associated with that star. The "Spring and Autumn Supplementary Diagram: The Harmonious Truth Diagram" says: When the moon enters the Huakuemen gate, it signifies that ministers will not abide by their duties. Shi Shen says: When the moon enters the Taimei enclosure, and suppresses or occupies the eastern gate, western gate, or the left and right yemmen gates, and exits from the southern endmen gate, it is a sign of ministers killing the sovereign. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon enters the sovereign's palace, senior ministers will die. The "Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Delight and Joy" also says: When the moon enters Taimei and exits from the endmen gate, it signifies ministers not abiding by their duties. Shi Shen also says: When the sun enters the Taimei enclosure, and suppresses or occupies the eastern gate, western gate, or the left and right yemmen gates, and exits from the southern endmen gate, it indicates there will certainly be a rebellious minister; if it enters from the western gate and exits from the eastern gate, it indicates the sovereign is restless and seeks a virtuous minister to assist him; if it enters from the western gate of Zhonghua and exits from the eastern gate of Zhonghua, it indicates ministers will take the sovereign's commands; if it enters from the western gate of Taoyin and exits from the eastern gate of Taoyin, it indicates great chaos, mourning, or a great flood.

郗萌曰：“月入古門而折出右掖門，皆為大臣假言之威而不從主命；月入西門，犯天庭，出端門，皆為大臣代主。”（按《宋志》晉恭帝元熙元年正月丙午，三月壬寅，五月丙申，七月己卯，皆月犯太微，二年六月三日，帝遜位於宋。”）《黃帝占》曰：“月行入及留太微中，為大臣有憂。”石氏曰：“月出東掖門，為將受命東南；出西掖門，為將受命西南。”《荊州占》曰：“東南為德事，西南為刑事，期以春夏。”《荊州占》曰：“月中犯乘守四輔，為臣失禮，輔臣有誅者。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon enters from the ancient gate and turns to exit from the right gate, it indicates that ministers will falsely use the emperor's authority and not obey the emperor's orders; when the moon enters from the western gate and invades the celestial court, then exits from the end gate, it indicates that ministers will replace the emperor. The original commentary states: According to the "Book of Song · Astronomical Records," in the first year of Yuanxi of Emperor Gong of Eastern Jin, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 15th day of the third lunar month, the 15th day of the fifth lunar month, and the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the moon invaded Taiwei. On the third day of the sixth lunar month of the second year, Emperor Gong of Eastern Jin abdicated the throne to the Liu Song dynasty. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon enters the Taiwei region or stays there, it indicates that ministers will have worries. Shi Shen said: When the moon exits from the eastern gate, it indicates that generals will be ordered to campaign in the southeast; when the moon exits from the western gate, it indicates that generals will be ordered to campaign in the southwest. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The southeast indicates matters of virtue and benevolence, while the southwest indicates matters of punishment and execution, and these events occur in the spring and summer seasons. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon is directly in the center and invades, presses upon, or stays in the four auxiliary stars, it indicates that ministers will lose decorum, and some of the ministers will be executed.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月行犯左右執法，皆為大臣有憂。”《春秋緯文曜鉤》曰：“月入太微軌道者，司出門守皆為天子所誅。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月出黃帝座之北，禍之大；出其南，禍之小；若近之大臣謀亂，禍不成。”石氏曰：“月犯黃帝座，大人憂其中，黃帝座，大人易，天下亂。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯黃帝座，天下大亂，存亡半。”《海中占》曰：“月犯黃帝座，有亂臣，人主惡之。”郗萌曰：“月犯黃帝座，臣子反弒其主，事成。”

The纬book《River Chart Emperor's Delight and Joy》says: When the moon moves and invades the Left and Right Judicial Stars, it indicates that ministers will have worries. 《Spring and Autumn Writings · Wen Yao Gou》says: When the moon enters the track of Taiwei, those in charge of guarding the gates and entrances will be executed by the Son of Heaven. 《River Chart Emperor's Delight and Joy》says: When the moon rises from the north of Huangdi's seat, the calamity is great; when it rises from the south, the calamity is small; if it merely approaches Huangdi's seat, ministers will plot rebellion but fail. Shi Shen says: When the moon invades Huangdi's seat, the person in the highest position will have worries; if it is exactly in the center, the main person of Huangdi's seat will be replaced, and the world will be in chaos. 《River Chart Emperor's Delight and Joy》says: When the moon invades Huangdi's seat, the whole country will be in great chaos, with half of it surviving and half perishing. 《Sea of Divination》says: When the moon invades Huangdi's seat, there will be disorderly ministers in the court, and the monarch will dislike this celestial phenomenon. Xi Meng says: When the moon invades Huangdi's seat, ministers will rebel and assassinate their sovereign, and the matter will succeed.

郗萌曰：“月抵黃帝座，有土功事。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯四帝座，天下有喪。”石氏曰：“月犯四帝座，若乘之，君憂。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯四帝座，諸侯凶。”甘氏曰：“月中犯乘守四帝座，天下亡。”石亡曰：“月中犯乘守屏星者，為君臣失禮，而輔臣有誅者，若免罷去。”《孝經內記》曰：“月入三臺中，君有大憂患，敗在臣下。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入三臺，大臣為天子，公族共弒君。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon approaches the Yellow Emperor's seat — 'approaches' means touching but not covering — there will be matters concerning earth and wood construction. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon invades the seats of the Four Emperors, there will be mourning events throughout the land. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades the seats of the Four Emperors, or presses upon them, the ruler will have worries. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon invades the seats of the Four Emperors, the feudal lords will suffer misfortune. Gan De said: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays on the seats of the Four Emperors, the whole country will perish. Shi Shen (the original text says 'Shi Wang', which is likely a mistake for 'Shi School') said: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays on the screen stars, the ruler and ministers will lose decorum, and among the ministers, some will be executed or dismissed. The Xiaojing Neiji says: When the moon enters the Three Thrones, the ruler will have great worries and misfortunes, and calamity will come from the ministers. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Three Thrones, the ministers will become the Son of Heaven, and the royal family will jointly kill the ruler.

郗萌曰：“月入庫樓，天下有兵起。”郗萌曰：“月宿羽林中，兵大起。”石氏曰：“月犯乘若中北落，皆為天下兵大起。”石氏曰：“月入天倉，主財寶出，憂臣在內，天下有兵。”石氏曰：“月犯天倉，有移五穀。”石氏曰：“月入天倉，市兵起。”《郗萌占》曰：“月行弧宿，臣逾主。”《郗萌占》曰：“月變於狼，陣兵不戰，一曰不起，如小戰；一曰有水事。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon enters the Kulu Star, there will be military disturbances throughout the land. The Kulu Star consists of ten stars located south of the Horn Mansion, and it is the heavenly military storehouse. Xi Meng said: When the moon is near the host star in the Yu Lin Jun (Imperial Guards) constellation, there will be great military movements. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades or presses upon the Bei Luo Shi Men Star, or is exactly in the center of it, it indicates great military disturbances throughout the land. Shi Shen said: When the moon enters the Heavenly Granary Star, it signifies the dispersal of treasures, anxious ministers within the court, and military disturbances in the land. Shi Shen said: When the moon invades the Heavenly Granary, there will be movements concerning the transportation of grain. Shi Shen said: When the moon enters the Heavenly Granary, military disturbances will arise in the markets. The "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the moon passes through the Hu Shi Star Cluster, ministers will overstep the authority of the sovereign. The "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the moon undergoes an abnormal change in the Tian Wang Star, there will be two armies arrayed but no battle; another interpretation suggests no military action will occur, or only minor skirmishes; yet another interpretation suggests there will be water-related events.

石氏曰：“月在天理，臣當坐，欲反者而入獄；一曰君有大憂。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月乘天高，將死，外臣有誅者。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入五潢中者，皆為兵起，軍道不通，天下大亂，易政，一曰貴人死。”《黃帝占》曰：“月中犯乘守五潢，皆期二十日，兵起。”

Shi Shen said: When the moon is in Tian Li star, ministers should be guilty and those who wish to rebel will be imprisoned; another interpretation says the sovereign will have great worries. The four stars of Tian Li are in the northern part of the Big Dipper, indicating the imprisonment of noblemen. The book of纬 (wei) called "He Tu Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon presses upon Tian Gao star, generals will die, and there will be execution among the outer ministers. The "Huang Di Zhan" says: When the moon enters the five Huang, it indicates the rise of military affairs, the blocking of military roads, great chaos throughout the land, and a change of regime; another interpretation says noblemen will die. The "Huang Di Zhan" also says: When the moon is directly in the middle and invades, presses upon, or stays in the five Huang, it indicates an occurrence within twenty days, with the rise of military affairs.

郗萌曰：“月入咸池，暴兵起，期四十日。”郗萌曰：“月入咸池，有迷惑人主者。”《荊州者》曰：“月入咸池，天下大亂，人君死，易政，以入日占國。”郗萌曰：“月有不從天街者，皆為政令不行，不出其年，有兵；又曰行天街中，天下寧，百姓順；一曰行天街外，百姓凶。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon enters the Xianchi star, there will be a sudden outbreak of cruel military actions, and the occurrence will be within forty days. The three stars of Xianchi are located among the Five Chariots, and they presage fish ponds and water marshes. Xi Meng also said: When the moon enters Xianchi, there will be people who deceive the ruler. The "Jingzhou Divination" (the original text says "Jingzhou") says: When the moon enters Xianchi, the whole country will be in great disorder, the ruler will die, and the government will be changed. The prediction should be based on the day branch when the moon enters to determine which country it will affect. Xi Meng also said: When the moon does not follow the celestial path, it indicates that the government orders will not be carried out, and there will be military conflicts within the same year; another saying is that when the moon moves along the celestial path, the whole country will be peaceful and the people will be obedient; another view is that when the moon moves outside the celestial path, the people will suffer misfortune.

《郗萌占》曰：“月行折威中，天子亡。”《甘氏占》曰：“月人哭星，女主崩。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入天積，即芻葉也財寶出，主憂臣在內。”

The Xi Meng Divination says: When the moon enters the "Zhe Wei" star, it indicates the death of the emperor. Here, the term "wai guan" refers to star officials outside the twenty-eight mansions, spread across the four directions, in contrast to the "zhong guan" or central officials near the Purple Micro Enclosure. "Gan School wai guan" refers to the system of outer star constellations transmitted by Gan De, a person from the state of Qi during the Warring States period. The divinations in this passage, such as Zhe Wei, Ku Xing, and Tian Ji, all belong to this system. The Gan School Divination says: When the moon enters the "Ku Xing" star (the original text mistakenly writes "ren" instead of "ru"), it indicates the death of the female ruler, the chief of the harem. The Ku Xing is located to the south of the Xu Xu mansion and is listed alongside the "Qi Xing," both of which are associated with mourning and lamentation. The Huangdi Divination says: When the moon enters the "Tian Ji" star—the original text notes that Tian Ji refers to a pile of straw—it indicates the dispersal of treasures and wealth, the ruler's anxiety and fear, and the presence of powerful ministers within the court.

《郗萌占》曰：“月乘鍵閉星，大人憂。”《郗萌占》曰：“月犯乘鍵閉星，大臣大誤，天子不尊事天神，致火災於宗廟，天子崩；一曰王者不宜出宮、下殿，有偃兵於宗廟者。”

The "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the moon is above the "Jian Bi" star — "Cheng" refers to the moon passing over the star from above — this indicates that a great person will suffer misfortune. Jian Bi is a star official transmitted by the Wu Xian school, located in the northeast of Fang Su, originally symbolizing the lock and key of a gate, thus governing matters concerning the opening and closing of palace gates. The term "Wu Xian inner and outer officials" refers to the two systems of constellations said to have been passed down by the Wu Xian family of the Yin dynasty: the star officials surrounding the north celestial pole, known as the inner officials, and those outside the twenty-eight mansions, known as the outer officials. The "Xi Meng Divination" also says: When the moon invades and passes over the Jian Bi star — "Fan" refers to the moon approaching the star to within one degree — this indicates that a minister will commit a great mistake, the Son of Heaven will not be reverent in worshiping heavenly spirits, leading to a fire in the ancestral temple and the death of the Son of Heaven. Another interpretation is that the ruler should not leave the palace gate or descend from the throne at this time, as there may be hidden soldiers and weapons in the ancestral temple plotting rebellion.

《黃帝占》曰：“月行天淵中，若犯之，貴人死；一曰臣逾主。”石氏曰：“月犯鈇鑕，有戮臣。”《黃帝占》曰：“月犯鈇鑕者，為大臣誅。”《郗萌占》曰：“月中犯乘守鈇鑕者，為鈇鑕用；一曰兵將有憂。”《石氏占》曰：“月行天廄，星天為兵歸；月行天廄，上不安。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the 'Tian Yuan' star region, if it also invades it, it indicates the death of a person of high status; another interpretation is that a minister will overstep the sovereign. Tian Yuan is located east of the Bie star, and originally governs matters of ponds and irrigation. The Shi school says: When the moon invades the 'Fu Zhi' star, there will be the execution of ministers. Fu is a chopping knife, and Zhi is the chopping block placed underneath, together forming the instrument of beheading, hence the star is named after this, and thus indicates punishment by execution. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the moon invades the Fu Zhi star, it indicates the execution of high-ranking ministers. The Xi Meng Divination says: When the moon is in the center, invades, dominates, and stays lingering over the Fu Zhi star—'staying' refers to the moon lingering near the star for many days—this indicates that the Fu Zhi instruments will be used; another interpretation is that the general in command will have worries. The Shi school says: When the moon enters the 'Tian Jiu' region, the original text has some errors and omissions, but the general meaning is that the military forces should return; when the moon enters Tian Jiu, it indicates the sovereign's unrest. Tian Jiu is the celestial stable, originally governing matters of carriages, horses, stables, and herding.

《石氏占》曰：“月傍有氣，圓而周匝黃白，名為暈。”巫咸曰：“月之暈者，臣專權之象。”《石氏占》曰：“月暈受衡，所在之國安。”甘氏曰：“月暈，戰兵不合，若軍罷。”《甘氏占》曰：“日月皆暈，戰兵不合。”（謂晝有日暈，夜有月暈也。）

The Shi school says: When clouds appear around the moon, forming a round shape that completely surrounds the moon, with a yellow or white color, this is called "hun." (A lunar halo is actually caused by sunlight passing through high-altitude ice crystals in the atmosphere, refracting into a ring shape. However, ancient people regarded it as an important omen.) Wu Xian says: When the moon produces a halo, it signifies that ministers are seizing power. The Shi school also says: If the halo exactly aligns with the "Heng," which is the fifth star of the Big Dipper called Yu Heng, then the territory corresponding to that area will be peaceful. The Gan school says: When the moon produces a halo, the two opposing armies will not fight, or the armies will cease hostilities. The Gan school also says: When both the sun and the moon produce halos, the two opposing armies will not fight. (Original book note: This refers to a halo appearing during the day and another during the night, both occurring within a single day and night.)

京房《易傳》曰：“凡月暈七日，無雨大風，兵作土功起。”《高宗占》曰：“月暈，明王自將兵。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，赤有光；主起兵，城降。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，兵春起，不勝。”《荊州占》曰：“月終歲不暈，天下和親。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: Whenever the moon develops a halo, within seven days if it does not rain, there will be a strong wind, and there will be military campaigns and large-scale construction projects. "Gao Zong Zhan" says: When the moon develops a halo, it indicates that an enlightened king personally leads his army to campaign. "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the moon develops a halo that is red and luminous, it indicates military conflict, with cities being captured and surrendered. "Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon develops a halo, military actions will be initiated in spring, and the side that launches the attack will not succeed. "Jingzhou Zhan" says: If the moon does not develop a halo for an entire year, it indicates peace throughout the land, with harmonious relations and frequent marriages and exchanges between different regions.

《荊州占》曰：“四孟月之七日，四仲月之八日，四季月之九日，皆當月暈。暈不以其日，不出三日有暴風甚雨。”石氏曰：“月以正月一日、二日暈，必有土功。”《荊州占》曰：“月春二暈者，其民好鬥，不有從民，歲必大惡，不出一年糧貴。”《石氏占》曰：“正月上旬一暈，樹木蟲；二暈，禾穀蟲，三暈震雷。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: On the seventh day of the first month, fourth month, seventh month, and tenth month, and on the eighth day of the second month, fifth month, eighth month, and eleventh month, and on the ninth day of the third month, sixth month, ninth month, and twelfth month, there should be a lunar halo. If the lunar halo does not appear on these days, there will be strong winds and heavy rains within three days. The Shi school says: If the moon produces a halo on the first and second days of the first lunar month, there will certainly be construction projects involving earth and wood. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon produces a halo twice in spring, it indicates that the people in this region are prone to violence and fighting, and there are no obedient citizens who follow orders. The harvest will certainly be very poor, and the price of grain will rise within a year. The Shi school divination says: If the moon produces a halo once in the first ten days of the first lunar month, trees will be infested with insects; if it produces a halo twice, the crops and grains will be infested with insects; if it produces a halo three times, there will be thunder and lightning.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈四仲月之八日，四季月之九日，三日不雨，皆為月蝕。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“同暈中赤外青，群臣親內；外赤中青，群臣內其身，外其心。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈四仲之八日，四季月之九日，三日下雨，皆為月蝕。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈中赤外青，群臣親內；外赤中青，群臣內其身，外其心。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When a lunar halo appears on the eighth day of the fourth and eighth months, and on the ninth day of the first and fifth months, if it does not rain for three days afterwards, there will be an eclipse of the moon. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: If within the same halo the inner layer is red and the outer layer is blue, it indicates that the ministers are loyal to the court; if the outer layer is red and the inner layer is blue, it indicates that the ministers are physically present in the court but their minds are elsewhere, appearing united but actually divided. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When a lunar halo appears on the eighth day of the fourth and eighth months, and on the ninth day of the first and fifth months, if it rains for three days afterwards, there will be an eclipse of the moon. The *He Tu Di Lan Xi* says: If within the same halo the inner layer is red and the outer layer is blue, it indicates that the ministers are loyal to the court; if the outer layer is red and the inner layer is blue, it indicates that the ministers are physically present in the court but their minds are elsewhere, appearing united but actually divided. (The original text here repeats these two entries, with the first stating 'three days without rain' and the second 'three days with rain,' a single character difference leading to opposite divinatory meanings. This is likely a transmission error, and both are retained here.)

《荊州占》曰：“一月五六七八九暈，天下有亡地者；十一暈，天下更政。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“五月中九暈以上者，道上有熱死者。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If the moon produces a halo five, six, seven, eight, or nine times within a single month, it indicates that there will be a vassal lord who loses his territory. If the moon produces a halo up to eleven times in a single month, it signifies that the state will change its policies and replace its ruling officials. The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" states: If the moon produces a halo nine times or more in the month of May, it indicates that the heat will be extremely intense, and there will be people who die from the heat on the roads.

《荊州占》曰：“正月九日、十六日夜月暈者，其五月有令；十日暈者，三月有令；十一日暈者，其月大旱；十二日、十五日暈者，飛蟲多死；二十三日、二十四日暈者，五穀不成；二十五日、二十六日暈者，飛蟲多死；二十三日、二十四日暈者，五穀不成；二十五日、二十六日暈者，女枲貴。”《荊州占》曰：“月以庚戌暈，有救；以遲疾為期。”（謂暈疾亦疾，暈遲亦遲。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: On the ninth and sixteenth days of the first lunar month, if the moon produces a halo, it indicates that an imperial decree will be issued in the fifth lunar month; on the tenth day, a decree in the third lunar month; on the eleventh day, a severe drought in that month; on the twelfth and fifteenth days, a large number of flying insects will die; on the twenty-third and twenty-fourth days, the five grains will not mature; on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth days, a large number of flying insects will die; on the twenty-third and twenty-fourth days, the five grains will not mature; on the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth days, the price of hemp and flax will be high. (The latter part of this entry is duplicated and disordered in the original text, with the same dates and divination statements appearing twice with differing wording, likely due to copying errors.) The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: If the moon produces a halo on a Gengxu day, it indicates that there is still room for remedy regarding calamities; the speed of verification depends on how quickly the halo forms and dissipates. (Original note: If the halo forms quickly, the verification will be quick; if it forms slowly, the verification will be slow.)

《荊州占》曰：“月正月甲乙日暈者，木貴，民人多病；丙丁日月暈者，旱，金錢輕；戊己日月暈者，歲美，小旱，田宅貴；庚辛日暈，赦；壬癸日暈者，多水。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: In the first lunar month, if a halo appears around the moon on a Jia or Yi day, Jia and Yi belong to wood, indicating high prices for timber and many illnesses among the people; if a halo appears on a Bing or Ding day, Bing and Ding belong to fire, indicating drought and depreciation of money; if a halo appears on a Wu or Ji day, Wu and Ji belong to earth, indicating a good harvest with slight drought, and rising prices for land and houses; if a halo appears on a Geng or Xin day, Geng and Xin belong to metal, and metal signifies punishment, but actually it indicates the imperial court issuing a pardon; if a halo appears on a Ren or Gui day, Ren and Gui belong to water, indicating flooding.

高宗《八節月暈占》曰：“月以立春四十六日內暈者，亦有兵；黑多水，蟲為災，逆賊生，民生子多怪。月以春分四十六日內暈者，赤為兵；黃白憂多蟲。月以立夏四十六日內暈者，赤少水；白旱，萬物不出者死，人民流亡；月以夏至四十六日內暈者，赤小水；黃白萬物化為白耳。月以立秋四十六內暈者，赤小白，明日甚雨，出黃羽異身，傷害五穀之心。謂螟螣之類也月以秋分四十六日內暈者，赤少黃白，大雷發，折木、殺人。月以立冬四十六日內暈者，赤重如蓋狀，明日甚霧；黑多冰霜，春多風。月以冬至四十六日內暈，赤大白，春多風，殺人。”

The book "Eight Festival Lunar Eclipse Divination" by Emperor Gaozong says that if the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Start of Spring, it indicates there will be military conflicts; if the halo is dark, there will be heavy rain, pests will cause disasters, rebels will increase, and many children born will be deformed. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Vernal Equinox, a red halo indicates military conflicts; a yellow and white halo indicates many worries and pests. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Start of Summer, a red halo indicates less rain; a white halo indicates drought, causing all things to wither and die, and people to flee. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Summer Solstice, a red halo indicates less water; a yellow and white halo indicates the growth of white mushrooms and fungi. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Start of Autumn, a halo with red and white tones will be followed by heavy rain the next day, and yellow-winged strange insects will appear, damaging the heart leaves of grain crops. (Note from the original text: these are pests like the locusts and the caterpillars that eat crops.) If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Autumnal Equinox, a halo with more yellow and white than red indicates great thunderstorms, breaking trees and killing people and livestock. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Start of Winter, a red halo with layers resembling a chariot canopy indicates fog the next day; a dark halo indicates more frost and ice, and more wind in the coming spring. If the moon produces a halo within forty-six days after the Winter Solstice, a red halo with large white patches indicates more wind in the coming spring, and wind can harm people's lives.

京房《易傳》曰：“正月三暈，所宿國小飢，五暈，大飢。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Zhuan" says: If the moon produces a halo three times in the first lunar month, the state corresponding to the constellation where the moon resides that night will experience a minor famine; if it produces a halo five times, there will be a major famine. The term "suo su" refers to the constellation where the moon stays that night. The twenty-eight constellinations are each associated with a state or region on earth, known as the "fen yi."

《石氏占》曰：“月以十二月八日暈再重，大有風，兵起；三重，天下兵大亂。《石氏占》曰：“月暈再重，天下大風起。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈三重，其外青，中濁不散，軍會聚。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈四重，以有亡國，死王者；五重，其國女主死；七重，天下易主；八重，天下有亡國。”（漢高祖七年月暈，圓參昴七重，占曰：畢昴間天街也，街北胡，街南中國。昴為匈奴，參為趙畢，為邊兵；是歲，高祖為冒頓單于所圍。）

The Shi school says: When the moon appears with two layers of halo on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, it indicates a great wind and the outbreak of military affairs; if there are three layers, it signifies great chaos in the military across the land. The Shi school also says: When the moon has two layers of halo, it indicates a great wind across the land. The "Imperial View of Joy" says: When the moon has three layers of halo, the outermost layer is green, the middle is turbid and does not disperse, indicating the gathering of armies. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon has four layers of halo, it indicates the fall of a country and the death of a king; five layers, it indicates the death of a female ruler in the corresponding region; seven layers, it indicates a change of ruler across the land; eight layers, it indicates the fall of a country across the land. (Original book note: In the seventh year of Han Gaozu, the moon had a halo, which surrounded the constellations Shen and Maoshen, totaling seven layers. The divination text said: Between the constellations Bi and Maoshen is the "Heavenly Street," with the northern part belonging to the Hu people and the southern part belonging to the Central Plains. Maoshen governs the Xiongnu, Shen governs the state of Zhao, and Bi governs military affairs at the borders. In that year, Han Gaozu was indeed surrounded by Modu Chanyu at Baideng.)

《荊州占》曰：“月暈三重，赤雲貫之，其國破喪。”巫咸曰：“月五月中暈，有九重以上，道路大有熱死者。”《高宗占》曰：“月暈十重，天下更王。”京房《易傳》曰：“月暈十二重，天下半亡。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈再重，倍在外私成於外，倍在內私成於內。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the moon has three layers of halo, with red clouds crossing the halo, it indicates that the country corresponding to that region will suffer defeat and loss. Wu Xian says: If the moon produces a halo in the middle of May, with up to nine layers, it indicates extreme heat, with many people dying from the heat on the roads. The *Gaozong Divination* says: If the moon has ten layers of halo, it indicates a change of emperor throughout the realm. Jing Fang's *Yi Transmission* says: If the moon has twelve layers of halo, it indicates that half of the land will be lost. The *Dilangxi* says: If the moon has two layers of halo, and the added layer is on the outer side, then secret plots will be carried out outside the court; if the added layer is on the inner side, then secret plots will be carried out within the palace.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月色黃白交暈，一黃一赤所守之國受兵。”《高宗占》曰：“月交暈，赤有光，其國不出二年遇兵。”《石氏占》曰：“月交暈貫月，有事從貫擊者勝，殺將；有珥，有喜。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon produces a yellow and white halo that intertwines, with a yellow layer and a red layer, it indicates that the country corresponding to the area governed by the moon will suffer from military calamity. The term "interlaced halo" refers to two halos crossing each other and their colors blending. The "High Emperor's Divination" states: When the moon produces an interlaced halo with a red and luminous hue, the country corresponding to the area governed by the moon will face military conflict within two years. The "Shi School Divination" says: When the moon produces an interlaced halo that spans across the moon's body, if there is warfare, the side advancing in the direction of the spanning halo will win and be able to kill the enemy's general. If there is also a "ear-like" light appearing beside the halo, which looks like a small light resembling an ear on the side of the moon, it indicates there will be a joyful event.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈連如環，為兩軍兵起，君爭地。”《石氏占》曰：“月暈一重，下缺不合，上有冠戴，傍有兩珥，白暈連環，貫珥接北斗，國有大兵，大戰流血，其地紛紜，不出一年憂。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon is surrounded by a single ring of light that forms a continuous chain, it indicates two armies will engage in battle, with rulers fighting over territory. The *Shi school* says: When the moon is surrounded by a single layer of light, it is incomplete at the bottom and does not close properly. Above it, there is a "guan" and a "dai" aura—guan is like a hat covering the moon, and dai is like an object placed on top of the moon. On both sides, there are two "er" auras. The white halo forms a ring, connecting through the two er auras and extending all the way to the Big Dipper. This indicates the country will face major military conflicts, large-scale bloodshed, and unrest in that region. Within a year, there will be calamity.

《石氏占》曰：“月暈如連環，重暈北斗魁前第一第二星，大臣下獄，流移一千里；又曰暈輔星，大臣下獄。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈如連環，有白虹干暈不及月，女貴人有陰謀亂。”

The Shi school says: When the moon halo appears as a series of concentric rings, enclosing the first star "Tianshu" and the second star "Tianxuan" of the Big Dipper, it indicates that ministers will be imprisoned and exiled to a distance of more than a thousand li. Another interpretation says that if the halo surrounds the star "Fuxing" near the sixth star of the Big Dipper, it also indicates that ministers will be imprisoned. The Jingzhou school says: When the moon halo appears as a series of concentric rings, and there is a white rainbow-like light interfering with the halo but not touching the moon itself, it indicates that a noblewoman is secretly plotting rebellion.

《甘氏占》曰：“月暈歲星，色不明，主人勝客，明、客勝主人。”巫咸曰：“月暈歲星，其國主死。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈歲星，糴貴，石千文，民相食。”《海中占》曰：“月暈歲星，其主病；重暈，囚死或大水；五暈，人主有病喪。”

The Gan school says: When the moon's halo surrounds the planet Jupiter, and the halo is dark and unclear, it indicates that the defending side will defeat the attacking side. Diviners refer to the native land's side as the "host" and the distant invading side as the "guest." If the halo is bright, then the guest side will defeat the host side. (Jupiter is the planet of wood, taking about twelve years to orbit the sky, moving through one sign each year, hence its name.)

《甘氏占》曰：“月暈太白，色不明，主人勝客，明，客勝主人。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈太白，其國主死。”《荊州占》日：“月暈太白，與月合，其主死境外。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈太白，入暈其色惡，不明，則客敗，其色明而有角，客勝：其色如暈，與月合，人主憂從中宮起。”

The Gan school says: When the moon's halo surrounds the bright star Tai Bai, and the halo is dark and unclear, it indicates that the defending side will win over the attacking side; if the halo is bright and clear, then the attacking side will win over the defending side.

It belongs to the Metal element and is associated with warfare and military conflict.) The Wu Xian school says: When the moon's halo surrounds Tai Bai, it indicates the death of the king of the country corresponding to the area of the sky.

The Gan school says: When the moon's halo surrounds the water star, and the halo is dark and unclear, it indicates that the defending side will prevail over the attacking side; if the halo is bright, then the attacking side will prevail over the defending side.

The book "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When the moon's halo surrounds Jupiter and the constellations Jiao Xu and Kang Xu, and the halo circles around twice, forming a shape like a chain, it will not exceed three years, and there will be great plots by the ministers or they will be executed.

郗萌曰：“月以正月、十二月暈角亢氐房心五星者，大赦；暈四星者，小赦。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈角亢氐，蟲多死，天下土卒死。”陳卓曰：“月暈角亢，大將軍有憂。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈回角亢，蟲多死。”石氏曰：“月暈氐房心，有德令。”郗萌日：“月暈氐房心，其地有役，”石氏曰：“月暈房心，帝國有兵，廟堂句氐宿，大赦：句三宿，小赦，五百里以下：句二宿，赦百里內。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon forms a halo in the first and twelfth lunar months, if the halos encompass the stars of the five mansions, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, and Xin, it indicates the court will issue a great amnesty. If only four of these mansions are encompassed, it indicates a minor amnesty. The Wu Xian Divination says: If the moon's halo covers the three mansions Jiao, Kang, and Di, it indicates a large number of insects will die and soldiers will suffer casualties.

The Shi school said: If the moon's halo covers the mansions Fang and Xin, it indicates there will be military affairs in the capital region. Fang and Xin are the heavenly Bright Hall and Hall of Government. If the halo hooks onto the mansion Di, it indicates a great amnesty. If it hooks onto three mansions, it indicates a minor amnesty, with the scope of the amnesty within five hundred li. If it hooks onto two mansions, the amnesty scope is only within one hundred li.

石氏曰；“月暈房箕，風地動。”石氏曰：“月暈心尾亢，骨蟲為害；一曰四足蟲；一曰不出其年，易政山崩，出五十里外。”石氏曰：“月以十一月暈心尾，麥有價。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈尾箕，分有疾凶。”石氏曰：“月暈箕斗，兵從東方北方來者勝，從南方來者不勝。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“正月月暈回箕，五穀不成。”巫咸曰：“月暈圍斗，五穀不成，大將易。”

The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Room mansion and the Winnowing Basket mansion, there will be a great wind and an earthquake. (The Winnowing Basket mansion is naturally associated with wind, hence the connection with wind.) The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Heart mansion, Tail mansion, and the Kangle mansion, there will be pests with bones causing harm; another view says pests with four legs will cause harm; yet another view says that this will not occur in the same year, but instead there will be changes in government orders and landslides affecting an area of fifty li. The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo in the eleventh month covering the Heart mansion and the Tail mansion, the price of wheat will rise.

The "Imperial Leisure" says: When the moon halo covers the Niutou and Xunü constellations, it indicates that the silk industry and the price of silk cloth will rise; another interpretation suggests that cattle will die suddenly in large numbers. (Niutou governs cattle, Xunü governs women's crafts, so each corresponds to its own category.) Xi Meng says: When the moon halo covers the Xu and Wei constellations, there will be military affairs, plots will fail, and sudden strong winds will arise; it also indicates mourning. The Shi school says: When the moon halo covers Xu and Wei, there will be the scattering of weapons and military equipment, and the ancestral temples will be disturbed. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon halo covers Yingshi and Dongbi constellations, there will be plots in this region that fail; another interpretation suggests wind will arise; another says a great flood is coming; yet another says many widows and infants will die.

The "Imperial Leisure" says: When the moon halo covers Wei and Mao constellations, there will be many people suffering from abdominal diseases.

郗萌曰：“月暈昴及畢，有慶上賜下者；一曰有德令，無令則有兵起。郗萌曰：“月暈昴及畢，比有反者。”郗萌曰：“月暈昴畢參，赦者有善令，期六十日；又曰不出三年，人主憂，若有賜令。”郗萌曰：“月以太歲所在辰暈畢與五車及一星，小赦；二星，次赦；三星及五星，大赦。”郗萌曰：“月以十一月暈，五車及昴參其星皆入暈中，有大赦；其不盡入，有小赦，期在來年五月中。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the mansion of Hairy Head and the mansion of Net, it indicates there will be a celebration and the sovereign will bestow rewards upon his ministers. Another interpretation suggests it indicates the issuance of a decree of virtue, and if there is no such decree, there will be military action.

It also cannot be said to last three years, the sovereign will have worries, or there will be a decree of rewards. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo in the eleventh month, and the five chariots star, the mansion of Hairy Head, and the mansion of Three Stars are all enclosed within the halo, it indicates a great amnesty. If not all of them are enclosed, it indicates a lesser amnesty, and the time of the amnesty will be in the middle of the following fifth month.

石氏曰：“以正月上旬月暈昴畢參伐，有赦令。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈回畢參觿，矢弓弩貴。”石氏曰：“月暈參井，水霜數至。”巫咸曰：“月暈圍井鬼。其年不和；一曰旱。”京房《易傳》曰：“月暈翼軫，軍在外戰，亡其偏將。”郗萌曰：“月暈軫角，先起兵者不勝；重開吉，重發兵者，兵死。”巫咸曰：“月暈軫角，赦期百二十日；一曰以四孟月暈軫角，皆為赦。”

The Shi school says: When the moon forms a halo in the first ten days of the first lunar month, covering the star cluster of Mao, Chou, and the lower part of Shen and Cen, it indicates there will be an amnesty. The "Imperial Leisure" says: When the moon's halo circles around Chou, Shen, and Zi, it indicates an increase in the price of arrows and bows. (Zi refers to Zi mansion, which resembles the horn of an animal and connects with Shen mansion. Originally, it governs the gathering of weapons, so it relates to bows and arrows.) The Shi school says: When the moon's halo covers Shen and Ji mansions, it indicates frequent rain and frost. Wu Xian says: When the moon's halo surrounds Ji and Gui mansions, it indicates an imbalance of yin and yang in the year; another interpretation suggests it indicates drought.

Wu Xian says: When the moon's halo covers Chen and Jia mansions, the time for an amnesty will be within 120 days; another interpretation says that whenever the moon's halo covers Chen and Jia mansions in the first four months of the year, it indicates an amnesty.

《石氏占》曰：“月暈左角，有軍，軍道不能。”石氏曰：“月暈右角，大將軍有病，歲偏民飢，角鱗蟲多死。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈圍兩角，大水，期一年。”《石氏占》曰：“月角中而暈，王者喜。”石氏曰：“日暈左右角，大赦；暈一角，小赦；早乙為春，丙丁為夏，庚辛為秋，壬癸為冬。”

The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Left Angle star, there will be military movements, and the roads for marching troops will be impassable. (The Angle mansion has two stars, the southern one is called the Left Angle, and the northern one is called the Right Angle; the area between the two stars is called 'Heaven's Gate'; the Left Angle relates to legal affairs, and the Right Angle relates to generals.) The Shi school also says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Right Angle star, the Grand General will fall ill, the harvest will be uneven and the people will suffer from famine, and there will be a large number of death among creatures with horns and scales. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When the moon surrounds both the Left and Right Angle stars, there will be a great flood, and the occurrence will be within one year. The Shi school says: When the moon is in the Angle mansion and produces a halo, it indicates the king's joy and celebration. The Shi school also says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over both the Left and Right Angle stars, there will be a great amnesty; if only one of the stars is covered, there will be a minor amnesty; the calculation of the time of occurrence falls on the days of Jia and Yi for spring, Bing and Ding for summer, Geng and Xin for autumn, and Ren and Gui for winter. (The original text here mistakenly writes 'sun' instead of 'moon' and 'early Yi' instead of 'Jia and Yi'.)

巫咸曰：“月暈角亢，有角蟲多死，天下士卒死；及角中央，王自將兵，不行百里，士遁亡，軍道不通；及右角，害大尉；及左角，獄大亂。”（後魏書曰：天興五年十月戊申，暈左角，時帝討姚興弟，平於乾闢，克之太史令姚崇奏；角蟲野死，上慮牛疾，乃命減諸輜玄。甲戊車駕北引，牛大疾，死者十八，自宮車所馭釐轄數百，同日斃於路側，尾相屬亦多死之徵也。）

Wu Xian said: When the moon's halo covers the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion, it indicates a large number of horned animals will die, and soldiers throughout the land will suffer casualties. If the halo reaches the central area between the two horns, the king will personally lead the army, but will not march more than a hundred li, and the soldiers will scatter, making the route of march impassable. If the halo reaches the right horn, the Grand Minister will suffer harm. If it reaches the left horn, there will be great disorder in the judicial system. (The original note cites the "Book of Later Wei": In the fifth year of Tianxing, in the tenth month, on the day of Wushen, there was a lunar halo over the left horn. At that time, Dao Wu Emperor was attacking the younger brother of Houqin Yao Xing, Yao Ping, and had surrounded him at Chai Bi and captured him. The official historian reported that horned animals would die suddenly in the wild. The emperor was worried about cattle disease and ordered the reduction of the transport vehicles in various places. On the day of Jiaxu, the imperial carriage returned north, and indeed, many cattle fell ill and died, with eight-tenths dying. Even the hundreds of carts used by the imperial carriage were found dead by the roadside on the same day, their bodies connected end to end, which was the fulfillment of the prophecy of "many deaths." The names of people, places, and the heavenly stems in this note have many errors in the original text.)

《海中占》曰：“月暈角亢歲，民飢。”陳卓曰：“月暈角，大將有殃。”郗萌曰：“月暈角，有兵，百日罷，無兵，後百日起；又曰先起兵者，不勝；又曰暈右角，右將軍有殃；暈左角，左將軍有殃；又曰暈右角，臣倍主；暈左角，大臣謀，期三年。暈天門，十月、十二月諸侯有不通者；又曰乘若暈角，為水；又曰多風雨。”

The Sea of Divination says: If the moon's halo covers the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion, it indicates a poor harvest and people suffering from hunger. Chen Zhu says: If the moon's halo covers the Horn mansion, it signifies disaster for a general. Xi Meng says: If the moon's halo covers the Horn mansion, if there is already warfare, armies will cease within a hundred days; if there is no warfare yet, warfare will begin within a hundred days; also saying that the side which initiates the attack will not win; also saying that if the halo covers the right Horn, the right general will suffer disaster; if the halo covers the left Horn, the left general will suffer disaster; also saying that if the halo covers the right Horn, it indicates ministers rebelling against the sovereign; if the halo covers the left Horn, it indicates ministers plotting against the sovereign, with the event occurring in three years. If the halo covers the 'Heaven Gate' between the left and right Horns, it indicates that in the tenth and twelfth months, there will be a disruption in the diplomatic visits among feudal lords; also saying that if the moon body invades the Horn mansion or if there is a halo covering the Horn mansion, it indicates water disaster; also saying that there will be much wind and rain.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈圍左右角，天下有大兵，天子為軍自守，左右動搖非常，人主憂，臣弒君。”《荊州占》曰：“月以正月暈角，公子死；一曰將軍死，歲飢；又曰以正月十七日，月暈於角，天下赦；正月戊己，暈左角，有喪。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon's halo surrounds the left and right horns, it indicates there will be large-scale military conflicts throughout the realm, the Son of Heaven will mobilize troops for self-defense, the close ministers will be unsettled and behave abnormally, the ruler will be anxious and fearful, and there may even be a case of a minister killing the sovereign. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the moon produces a halo and covers the Horn mansion in the first lunar month, it signifies the death of a prince; another interpretation says it indicates the death of a general, a poor harvest, and famine; it also says that on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, if the moon's halo covers the Horn mansion, it foretells a great amnesty throughout the realm; and if on the戊 or己 days of the first lunar month the moon's halo covers the left horn, it indicates there will be mourning.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月行天門，暈三重，天清淨，關梁不通，應之以善事。”（晉咸和三年，月暈左角，有赤白珥，禮約以問戴洋，洋曰：壹門當大戰，有賊亂。洋字國流，吳國人，頗識天文陰陽之數，約為豫州，洋為督護，約本胡後，洋遍遊公侯之門，莫不說重其所占候，並多神驗，事見晉史也。）

The *Yellow River Chart* says: When the moon passes through the "Heavenly Gate" between the left and right horns of the constellation, three layers of halos appear, and the sky is clear and pure, indicating that roads and bridges will be blocked, and good governance is needed to resolve the situation. (Commentary: In the third year of Xianhe during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Jin, the moon formed a halo on the left horn, with red and white colored ear-like clouds beside it. Zu Yuo consulted Dai Yang about this event. Dai Yang said: The Heavenly Gate will have a great battle, and there will be bandits causing disturbances. Dai Yang, whose name was Guoliu, was from Wujun and was well-versed in astronomical and yin-yang calculations. At that time, Zu Yuo served as the governor of Yu State, and Dai Yang was his supervisor. Dai Yang visited the gates of all the dukes and was highly respected for his divination skills, with many instances verified as accurate. This is recorded in the history books of the Jin dynasty. In this commentary, the term "Heavenly Gate" is mistakenly written as "One Gate," and the last sentence "Yue was originally the son of the Hu chieftain" has some missing text.)

甘氏曰：“月入角而暈，大赦；不則日蝕，所蝕之宿，其邦不安。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈左角，天子為軍自守；暈兩角，有軍，軍道不通，大龍見。”

The Gan school says: When the moon enters the Horn mansion and a halo appears around it, it indicates a great amnesty; otherwise, an eclipse of the sun will occur, and the country corresponding to the zodiac sign where the eclipse occurs will not be at peace. The "Imperial Leisure" states: If the moon's halo covers the left horn mansion, it signifies the emperor gathering troops for self-defense; if the halo covers both the left and right horn mansions, it indicates military movements with blocked roads and the appearance of a great dragon as an omen.

石氏曰：“月暈圍亢，君有兵革之事，期三十日，遠三月。石氏曰：“月以秋一日三暈亢，大臣有死者，兵大戰水中，期三十八日；再暈，大雨雪水。”郗萌曰：“月暈亢，八十日罷；無兵，後八十日兵起；秋三月再暈亢，民移千里；三暈亢，有赦令；秋一月再暈亢，必冬雷而水；三暈亢，大臣有死者；一曰大戰三；冬暈亢，年有所不安，以赦解之。”

The Shi school says: When the moon's halo surrounds the mansion of the Neck (Kang Xu), it indicates that the sovereign will face military conflicts. In the short term, within thirty days, and in the long term, within three months. (The mansion of the Neck is the inner court of the Son of Heaven, governing epidemics and legal punishments.) The Shi school says: In autumn, if the moon produces three halos in one day and they envelop the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that ministers will die, and the army will engage in a great battle on water, with an expected event in thirty-eight days; if two halos are produced, it indicates heavy rain and snow, and flooding. Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo envelops the mansion of the Neck, if there is already warfare, peace will be restored within eighty days; if there is no warfare yet, warfare will begin within eighty days; if the moon produces two halos enveloping the mansion of the Neck twice in the three months of autumn, it indicates that the people will migrate thousands of miles; if it happens three times, it indicates an amnesty; if the moon produces two halos enveloping the mansion of the Neck twice within one month of autumn, thunder and flooding will occur in winter; if it happens three times, it indicates the death of ministers, or alternatively, three major battles; if the moon produces a halo enveloping the mansion of the Neck in winter, it indicates that there will be unrest in the year, which must be resolved by an amnesty.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈圍亢，王者自將，兵不過百里，期一月，遠三月。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈亢，主自將兵，不行百里。”《海中占》曰：“月暈角亢，歲凶民飢。”《石氏占》曰：“月暈亢者，角蟲多死。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo around the mansion of the neck, the king will personally lead his troops, and the army will march no more than a hundred li. In the short term, this will happen within a month, and in the long term, within three months. The book Dili Xian says: When the moon is covered by a halo around the mansion of the neck, the ruler will personally lead his troops, but they will not advance more than a hundred li before returning. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the moon is covered by a halo around the mansion of the horn and the mansion of the neck, it indicates a bad harvest and famine among the people. The book Shi Shi Zhan says: When the moon is covered by a halo around the mansion of the neck, there will be a large number of deaths among the horned creatures.

《郗萌占》曰：“日暈氐，人多疾，以十一月、十二月暈左，天子有不安，以赦解之。”郗萌曰：“月暈圍氐，不出四十日，有治道之事。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈氐，大將誅，若水蟲多死。”

Xi Meng said: A lunar halo surrounding the Root Mansion indicates many people will fall ill; if the halo is on the left side during the eleventh and twelfth months, it signifies the emperor will have troubles, which must be resolved by pardons. (The Root Mansion is the main hall of the emperor's private residence, governing the empresses and epidemics; the original text mistakenly wrote 'sun' instead of 'moon' here.) Xi Meng said: A lunar halo surrounding the Root Mansion will result in road construction within forty days. The River Chart Emperor's Marvels says: A lunar halo surrounding the Root Mansion indicates a general will be executed or a large number of aquatic creatures will die.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈房，行三軍而戰。”郗萌曰：“月暈房，太子座之，若財寶出，若穀貴；又曰月以三冬暈房，天子有所不安，以赦解之。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，圍房四方，兵起野，有露骨不葬。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，圍房心，其地大疫，水蟲多死。”《易緯是類謀》曰：“月珥指房，四方煩，若以土之功。”

The *Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Delight and Play* says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Room Mansion, it indicates the mobilization of the army and the outbreak of war. (The Room Mansion consists of four stars, which are the Bright Hall of the Son of Heaven, also known as the Heavenly Chariot, governing the royal chariot and the issuance of decrees.) Xi Meng says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Room Mansion, it indicates that the crown prince will bear the corresponding consequences, or that wealth will scatter outward, or that grain prices will rise sharply. He also says that when the moon produces a halo during the three winter months, it indicates that the Son of Heaven will have troubles, and赦免 (pardon) will be needed to resolve them. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon produces a halo surrounding the four stars of the Room Mansion, it indicates that war will break out in the outskirts, with exposed corpses that cannot be buried. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the moon produces a halo surrounding the Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion, it indicates that a large outbreak of plague will occur in this region, and a great number of aquatic insects will die. The *Yi Wei Shi Leimou* says: When the lunar halo points toward the Room Mansion, it indicates disturbances in all directions, or the commencement of large-scale construction projects.

石氏曰：“月暈心，大戰、山崩、谷塞、水出五十里；一曰火。”《海中占》曰：“月暈圍心，人主有殃；又曰大旱。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈心，主憂；一曰將死；又曰軍進；又曰有兵，三十日罷，無兵，三十日兵起；又曰月以正月暈心，蠶不為繭；圍心將易，有主死；又曰赤地千地。”石氏曰：“月暈心，谷大貴。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈心，不出其年，大失火。”

The Shi school says: When the moon halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, there will be great warfare, mountains collapsing, valleys blocked, and floods overflowing fifty li; another interpretation suggests fire disasters. (The Heart Mansion consists of three stars, with the central one being the Heavenly King, and the two on either side being the Crown Prince and the younger son. These stars belong to the Fire element, so their omens usually relate to fire and punishment or reward.) The "Sea Divination" says: When the moon halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will suffer calamity; another interpretation suggests great drought. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, the sovereign will have worries (the original text mistakenly writes 'sun' instead of 'moon' here); another interpretation suggests the death of generals; another suggests military campaigns; another says if there is already warfare, the army will cease within thirty days; if there is no warfare yet, warfare will begin within thirty days; another says if the moon produces a halo surrounding the Heart Mansion in the first month, the silkworms will not form cocoons; if the halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, there will be changes in the generals, and the death of the sovereign; another says there will be a vast area of scorched land (the original text mistakenly writes 'earth' instead of 'li'). The Shi school says: When the moon halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, grain prices will rise sharply. The "Imperial Amusement" says: When the moon halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, disaster will occur within the same year, with a great fire.

郗萌曰：“月暈心，三日不陰不雨，不出三日，有大喪；又曰三日不風雨，不出三十日，有奇令。”石氏曰：“月一歲再暈，圍心；有大旱及大火，其將舉兵起；若國易相，期三年。”郗萌曰：“月暈心五重，其國女主死；再重，為有大喜。”《海中占》曰：“月暈圍心，中有赤雲，若白雲，大如杵，而貫月，大人當之，不然兵起。”郗萌曰：“月暈心三重，赤雲貫之，此謂之守，國破，喪戮侯王。”

Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, and there is no rain or clouds for the next three days, then within three days there will be a great calamity. He also said that if there is no wind or rain for three days, then within thirty days there will be an extraordinary imperial decree. The Shi school said: If the moon forms a halo around the Heart Mansion twice within a year, it indicates a great drought and fire, and the generals of the region will raise an army; or the country will replace its prime minister, with the fulfillment occurring within three years. Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo surrounds the Heart Mansion up to five layers, it indicates the death of the female sovereign; if only two layers, it indicates great joy and celebration. The "Sea Divination" says: If the moon's halo surrounds the Heart Mansion, and within the halo there are red or white clouds, large as a wooden mallet and crossing the moon's body, it indicates that a great person will bear this calamity, or that military conflict will arise. Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo surrounds the Heart Mansion three layers, and there are red clouds passing through it, this is called "guarding," indicating the collapse of the state and the death and massacre of princes and kings.

《東觀占》曰：“月暈尾，有益地者百里以上；又曰民多病寒熱；又曰風大至，若水。”石氏曰：“月暈尾，益地。”郗萌曰：“月暈天司空，其歲不登，有大水，在東方；又曰不出其年，有赦。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈圍尾，有益地者，百里以上；又曰民病寒熱，又曰大風至。”

The Dongguan Divination says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Tail mansion, there will be a feudal lord who expands his territory, gaining more than a hundred li; it also says that the people will suffer from many cases of cold and fever; it also says that a great wind will come, or there may be water disasters. (The Tail mansion has nine stars, representing the tail of the Azure Dragon, and also symbolizing the concubines of the imperial harem.) The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Tail mansion, it indicates expansion of territory. Xi Meng says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the star Tian Sikong, it indicates that the crops of the year will not mature, there will be great floods, and the disaster will occur in the east; it also cannot predict that there will be a pardon that year. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Tail mansion, there will be a feudal lord who expands his territory, gaining more than a hundred li; it also says that the people will suffer from many cases of cold and fever; it also says that a great wind will come.

石氏曰：“月暈箕，五穀以風傷。”郗萌曰：“月暈司空，不出百里，必有守倉求食者，以千數。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈箕，大風發屋。有坐口舌死者。非夷穀貴，燕趙大飢。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈箕，歲星在其中，王者娉皇后、貴妾，不出百八十日。”

The Shi school says: When the moon halo covers the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that the five grains will be damaged by a great wind. (The Winnowing Basket mansion consists of four stars, which govern the winds in all eight directions, and also govern disputes. Its territory is in the area of Yan.) Xi Meng says: When the moon halo covers the 'Sikong' star, within a hundred li, there will certainly be hungry people surrounding granaries to beg for food, with thousands of people. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon halo covers the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that a great wind will overturn roofs, and some people will be put to death due to disputes. In the regions beyond the four barbarians, grain prices will soar, and there will be a great famine in Yan and Zhao. (This passage's 'fei yi' should be a mistake for 'si yi'.) The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon halo covers the Winnowing Basket mansion, and the planet of years is within the halo, it indicates that the king will marry a queen or a noble concubine, within 180 days.

郗萌曰：“月暈南斗，大將死，民流千里，馬牛大病。”陳卓曰：“月暈南斗，大臣免，大將為亂，五穀不成。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈南斗，大將出。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon halo covers the Southern Dipper, it indicates the death of a general, the migration of people over a thousand miles, and a large number of horses and cattle falling ill. (The Southern Dipper refers to the six stars of the Dipper mansion, shaped like a ladle used for pouring wine, and is considered the celestial temple, governing rank, honor, and lifespan. It shares the domain of life and death with the Northern Dipper, and its territory corresponds to Wu and Yue.)

Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo and appears to cover the Cow Mansion, it indicates that the five grains will not mature. (The Cow Mansion refers to the six stars of the Cow Mansion, which governs sacrificial cattle, livestock, and matters concerning borders, bridges, and roads.) The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon's halo covers the Cow Mansion, there will be military casualties with corpses lying around and bloodshed, and generals will die in battle. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the moon's halo covers the Cow Mansion, there will be a large number of child deaths and cattle dying from plague; another interpretation suggests that many horses will die from disease. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon's halo covers the Cow Mansion, cattle and sheep will become expensive.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈須女，必有軍曝血，將死。”郗萌曰：“月暈須女，寡婦多疾。有兵謀，謀不成。風起。”石氏曰：“月暈圍須女，兵進而不斗；一曰兵不戰而降，寡婦多死，有兵謀謀不成，風起。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈須女，布帛倍價。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈須女，兵起不斗；一曰民多去室宅；一曰絲貴。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Girl Mansion, there will certainly be corpses of soldiers lying around with blood flowing, and the general will die in battle. (The Girl Mansion refers to the four stars of the Girl Mansion, which are the heavenly maiden, governing the cutting and sewing of cloth and marriage affairs.) Xi Meng says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Girl Mansion, there will be many sick widows, and there will be plots for military action which will not succeed, with a sudden strong wind.

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon halo covers the Emptiness mansion, there will be military action and great battles. (The Emptiness mansion has two stars, which govern ancestral temples and worship, as well as mourning and funerals; its territory corresponds to the state of Qi.) Xi Meng's Divination says: When the moon halo covers the Emptiness mansion, there will be widespread famine among the people, with cries of mourning and the death of hibernating insects; another account says there will be a large number of flying insects dying; it also says there will be military action, and construction work involving earth and wood.

《黃帝占》曰：“月暈危，有兵；一曰軍敗。”郗萌曰：“月暈危，其國主死，民多疾死，有兵謀，不成。”《荊州占》曰：“日暈危，有亂，謀天下，擾民，無所措。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈危，軍所止，民多去宅者。”郗萌曰：“月正月暈危，民去室宅。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon's halo covers the star Wei Xu, there will be military affairs; another interpretation suggests it indicates the defeat of the army. (The star Wei Xu consists of three stars, governing the Treasury star, the Heavenly Market, and matters of building houses and roofs.) Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo covers the star Wei Xu, it indicates the death of the ruler of the corresponding region, many people falling ill and dying, and plots for military action that fail. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon's halo covers the star Wei Xu, there will be chaos, someone plotting to take over the world, disturbing the people, and causing people to be at a loss.

Xi Meng says: When the moon produces a halo in the first month and covers the star Wei Xu, it indicates that the people will abandon their houses.

《海中占》曰：“月暈室，大城圍屠。”郗萌曰：“月暈營室，為宮敗；又曰有蠻夷來。”《荊州占》曰：“月常以四月、七月、十月侯月，月暈玄宮，不出六十日，必有妄言驚聚百姓者；不然，不出九十日，天下有急事。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈室，有喪。”

The Sea of the Sea Divination says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Encampment mansion, it indicates a great city being besieged and slaughtered.

The Emperor's Enjoyment says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Encampment mansion, it indicates there will be mourning.

《海中占》曰：“月暈東壁，有大土功事。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈於東壁，軍人敗。”郗萌曰：“月暈壁，民流亡；一曰見大龍；一曰婦兒多死者。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈壁，大亂，又曰月暈壁三重，國動兵大戰，不出一年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈壁，見龍，大敗。”

The Sea of Divination says: A lunar halo covering the eastern mansion indicates large-scale earth and construction projects. (The two stars of the eastern mansion are called East Wall, which governs literature and records, and together with the mansion of the room, they oversee earthworks; the title of this section, "Solar Halo over East Wall Seven," is a mistake for "Lunar Halo over East Wall.") The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A lunar halo covering the eastern mansion indicates defeat among soldiers.

Wu Xian said: A lunar halo covering the Kuixiu mansion indicates a rise in grain prices. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: A lunar halo covering the Kuixiu mansion indicates a great defeat of the army, heavy casualties among soldiers, and the fall of the state of Lu.

The Shi school said: A lunar halo covering the Kuixiu mansion indicates a great defeat of the army; another interpretation suggests an order for conscription; yet another suggests that an evil star will appear within ten days. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: A lunar halo covering both the Kuixiu and Loushou mansions indicates a significant increase in the price of silk and cotton.

Xi Meng said: A lunar halo surrounding Lou Xu indicates sorrow for a great person; another interpretation suggests the death of a great person; yet another suggests many silkworms dying and high prices for rice, silk, and cotton. If the halo appears in the first month of the four beginning months, it indicates amnesty. (Lou Xu consists of three stars, governing the royal park, livestock, and gatherings.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: A lunar halo surrounding Lou Xu indicates that rain will not fall within five days, leading to suspicion of the prime minister, who must remain silent and endure to be relieved. Xi Meng said: A lunar halo surrounding Lou Xu, enclosing all three stars of Lou Xu within the halo, indicates amnesty; if the star of the year happens to pass through Lou Xu and is within the halo, it indicates a great amnesty, with the expected time being ninety days. The "Yellow River Chart Emperor's Tour" says: A lunar halo circling Lou Xu indicates harmony between the sovereign and ministers, resolving disputes.

郗萌曰：“月暈胃，其國主死，天多陰雨，妊婦多死；一曰山崩；又曰盡圍三星，赦。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈圍胃，兵起，其國戰不勝，有破軍；一曰不戰山崩，若軍大歸，谷大貴。”郗萌曰：“月以四孟之月，三、四暈胃，赦。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈圍胃，兵大戰；一曰妊女多死。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈回胃，兵不戰。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Stomach mansion, it indicates the death of the ruler of the corresponding region, frequent rainy weather, and many deaths among pregnant women; another interpretation suggests mountain collapses. It also says that if all three stars of the Stomach mansion are enclosed within the halo, it indicates a pardon. (The three stars of the Stomach mansion are heavenly granaries, governing the accumulation of grain.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Stomach mansion, it indicates military action, with the country's army failing to win and suffering defeat; another interpretation suggests no battle but mountain collapses, or a large army returning home and grain prices rising sharply.

The book "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Maoshu, it indicates a famine across the country. (The original text mistakenly wrote "kai" instead of "tian.") Jingfang says: When the moon produces a halo covering Maoshu in September, December, or on the thirteenth day, if this continues, it indicates a general pardon across the country. Xi Meng says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Maoshu, if it occurs on Jiawu or Yiwei days, there will definitely be a major pardon, with the effect happening within three days; if it occurs on Wu or Ji days, the effect will happen within sixty days.

郗萌曰：“月暈昴，盡得七星，三月小赦。”石氏曰：“月暈昴，天下飢；一曰貴人多死；一曰糴貴。”郗萌曰：“月暈昴三重，不出五十日，赦。”巫咸曰：“月暈昴，食不絕；一曰兔多死。”石氏曰：“月一歲三圍昴，來年天下大赦，若弓絮貴。”《郗萌占》曰：“月暈昴，民憂疾；又曰一歲一暈，小赦；再暈，中赦；三暈，大赦；期並不出其年。”

The Shi school said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Hairy Head mansion, it indicates a great famine; another interpretation says it indicates many high-ranking people dying; yet another says it indicates a sharp rise in rice prices. Xi Meng said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Hairy Head mansion multiple times, up to three times, an amnesty will be issued within fifty days. Wu Xian said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Hairy Head mansion, it indicates that grain will not run out; another interpretation says it indicates a large number of rabbits dying. The Shi school said: When the moon surrounds the Hairy Head mansion three times within a year, it indicates a great amnesty in the following year, or a sharp rise in the prices of bows, arrows, and silk. The "Xi Meng Divination" said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Hairy Head mansion, it indicates that the common people will be anxious about illness; another interpretation says that if a halo appears once within a year, it indicates a minor amnesty; twice, a medium amnesty; three times, a major amnesty; and the predicted time does not exceed the same year.

Xi Meng said: If the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Net mansion, and the court does not issue edicts of virtue, the people will suffer from military calamities; he also said it indicates a sharp drop in the price of grain.

The "Jingzhou Divination" said: If the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Net mansion, it indicates a great amnesty, which will occur within thirty days. The "Xi Meng Divination" said: If the moon enters the Net mansion and forms a halo, it indicates the ruler will bear the consequence; another interpretation suggests the ruler will be replaced. Jing Fang's "Response to Omens and Abnormalities" said: If the moon forms a halo three times over the Net mansion, it indicates that the capital and all the regions will be pardoned. The "Xi Meng Divination" said: If the moon forms a halo approaching the Net mansion from in front of its two horns without touching the star at its root, it indicates an amnesty will be issued in the fourth month.

《荊州占》曰：“月以正月暈觜觿，大赦。”郗萌曰：“月暈觜觿，有德令，女子多疾。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈觜觿，大赦；期三十日。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月回觜觿，道多死人，大將死；一曰弓弩貴。”

The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the moon produces a halo in the first lunar month covering Zi and Zui, it indicates a great amnesty. (Zi and Zui refer to the three stars of Zi mansion, which resemble the兽's head, and are adjacent to Shen mansion, indicating matters related to gathering weapons and military forces.) Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo covers Zi and Zui, it indicates the issuance of virtuous government orders, and many women will suffer from illness. The book Jingzhou Zhan also says: When the moon's halo covers Zi and Zui, it indicates a great amnesty, and the period of occurrence is thirty days.

郗萌曰：“月暈參，不出歲中，天下亂，其國戰，兵弱，地裂，人主有殃。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈參，其國客軍大恐，戰不勝。”郗萌曰：“月暈參頭，赦，期二十日；一曰暈二星，小赦；暈三星，大赦；沖為期。”石氏曰：“月暈伐，將軍死，貴人有誅者。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月暈參，其有兵則戰；無師，是年三操土功事。”

Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo covers the Three Stars mansion, chaos will occur within the year, with the country of the corresponding region experiencing warfare, weakened military strength, land cracking, and calamity for the ruler. (The Three Stars mansion, also known as the White Tiger, is associated with cutting off and killing; the three smaller stars beneath it are called 'Faval,' which signify execution and punishment.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon's halo covers the Three Stars mansion, it indicates that the invading army from afar will be greatly frightened and unable to achieve victory. Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo covers the top three stars of the Three Stars mansion, it signifies a pardon, which will occur within twenty days; another interpretation says that if the halo surrounds two stars, it signifies a minor pardon; if it surrounds three stars, it signifies a major pardon; the timing of the pardon is determined by the day when the moon and the mansion are in opposition. The Shi school said: If the moon's halo covers the Faval star, it signifies the death of a general and the execution of a prominent person. Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" said: If the moon's halo covers the Three Stars mansion, if there is already warfare, battle will ensue; if there is no military action, there will be three instances of construction projects within the year.

郗萌曰：“月暈伐，大人多死。”石氏曰：“月暈參，軍不勝，暈匝有雲潰暈，兵大起，在外大戰。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈伐，二百一十日有兵；若赦，有善令，不出五日雨。”郗萌曰：“月以正月、十一月、十二月暈參，其歲惡，虎狼群出，害人民。”《甘氏占》曰：“月以正月暈伐，二夜不出，三旬兵起。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon halo covers the star of the Axe, it indicates that many important people will die. The Shi school said: When the moon halo covers the Three Stars mansion, it indicates that the army will not be victorious; if the halo has already formed a complete circle but is then scattered by clouds, it indicates a great military conflict occurring outside the country. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the moon halo covers the star of the Axe, there will be military conflicts within 210 days; if there is an amnesty, there will be a decree of good governance, and it will rain within five days. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo covering the Three Stars mansion in the first, eleventh, or twelfth month, it indicates that the year will be disastrous, with tigers and wolves appearing in groups and harming the people. The Gan school said: When the moon produces a halo covering the star of the Axe in the first month, and the halo does not appear again for the next two nights, it indicates that military conflicts will arise within thirty days.

《海中占》曰：“月暈東井，胡兵起。”郗萌曰：“月暈東井，天下有兵。”郗萌曰：“月暈東井，王者出遊，來年大旱；又曰後六月丙辰，大赦。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈東井，陰陽不和；又曰月暈圍東井，四夷求和。”郗萌曰：“月以十二月壬癸晏東井，大赦。”《巫咸占》曰：“三月暈東井，大水流。”

The Sea of Heaven Divination says: When the moon's halo surrounds the East Well, it indicates that the Hu people will raise an army. (The East Well refers to the eight stars of the Well mansion, which resembles a well, governing water balance and laws, and its territory corresponds to the state of Qin.) Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo surrounds the East Well, it indicates that there will be military affairs throughout the country. Xi Meng also says: When the moon's halo surrounds the East Well, it indicates that the king will go on a tour, and there will be a great drought the following year; he also says that on the Bingchen day of the sixth month there will be a great amnesty. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon's halo surrounds the East Well, it indicates that yin and yang are out of balance; it also says that when the moon's halo surrounds the East Well, it indicates that the four directions of the barbarians will seek peace. Xi Meng says: When the moon produces a halo on the壬 day or癸 day of the twelfth month, it indicates a great amnesty. (The original text mistakenly writes '晏' instead of '晕'.) The Wu Xian Divination says: When the moon's halo surrounds the East Well in the third month, it indicates a great flood.

石氏曰：“月暈鬼，黍貴三倍。”甘氏曰：“月夏三暈鬼，大雨，五穀不成。”郗萌曰：“月以正月上旬暈鬼，赦；期三十日。”《海中占》曰：“月暈鬼，大旱。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈鬼，陣不戰。”郗萌曰：“月以一月再暈鬼，多死人。”郗萌曰：“月以夏三月暈鬼，一曰大霧；一曰大雹、大霜；一曰大雪；一曰大雨水；一曰大蟲；一曰大火。又曰二暈小水；一暈為寒。”

The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that the price of millet will rise threefold. (The four stars of the Ghost Mansion are also called the Ghost Mansion, and the central white cloud-like mass is called "Accumulated Corpse Cloud," which presages matters concerning sacrifices and death and mourning.) The Gan school says: When the moon produces a halo three times in summer and it covers the Ghost Mansion, it indicates heavy rain and the failure of the five grains to mature. Xi Meng says: When the moon produces a halo covering the Ghost Mansion in the first ten days of the first lunar month, it indicates an amnesty, which will occur within thirty days. The "Sea of Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Ghost Mansion, it indicates a great drought. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Ghost Mansion, it indicates two armies facing each other without engaging in battle. Xi Meng says: When the moon produces a halo covering the Ghost Mansion twice in a single month, it indicates many deaths. Xi Meng also says: When the moon produces a halo covering the Ghost Mansion over the course of three summer months, one interpretation says it indicates a great fog; another says it indicates a great hailstorm and heavy frost; another says it indicates a great snowfall; another says it indicates heavy rain and floods; another says it indicates a great plague; another says it indicates a great fire. It also says that producing a halo twice indicates small water-related disasters, and producing a halo once indicates cold weather.

郗萌曰：“月以夏一月一暈鬼，為寒；再暈小水；三暈大水。”郗萌曰：“月以四月、七月、十月暈輿鬼中，出氣東行者，皆為老公多死；南行者，皆為丁壯多死；西行者，皆為老嫗多死；非行者，皆為少年多死；皆朝九十日。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo covering Ghost Mansion once in the month of summer, it indicates cold weather; twice, it indicates small floods; three times, it indicates large floods. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo covering Ghost Mansion in the fourth, seventh, and tenth months, if the air from the halo moves eastward, it indicates many elderly men will die; if it moves southward, it indicates many middle-aged men will die; if it moves westward, it indicates many elderly women will die; if it moves disorderly without following a direction, it indicates many young people will die; the time of occurrence is generally within ninety days. (The last sentence's 'non-direction' should be 'northward' and 'period' should be 'time'.)

石氏曰：“月暈柳，秋木鬱，若有兵戰。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈柳，三日有赦，大臣有死者；兵不戰，有水，民移。”

The Shi school says: When the moon's halo covers the Willow Mansion, it indicates that in autumn the grass and trees will be stagnant and unsmooth, or there may be warfare. (The Willow Mansion consists of eight stars, which is the mouth of the Vermilion Bird, also known as 'Zhu', and it governs the heavenly kitchen and food matters.) The Wu Xian Divination says: When the moon's halo covers the Willow Mansion, there will be an amnesty within three days, and a high official will die; the two armies will not fight, but there will be floods, and the people will migrate.

郗萌曰：“月暈柳，有獄事；若其地旱，民多疾死；又曰月暈注，其地有禍，其歲中人多死者，老小哭泣道路；若飛蟲多死；又曰穀貴，人相食；又曰圍注不出三十日，有野兵圍城。”注即柳之別名。《巫咸占》曰：“月暈柳，有野兵。”郗萌曰：“月以正月、十月暈柳頭，赦；期三十日。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Willow Mansion, there will be cases of punishment and litigation; or there may be drought in the corresponding region, leading to many people dying from illness. He also said that when the moon is surrounded by a halo over the 'Zhu' star, there will be calamity in that area, with many deaths during the year, and the elderly and children will weep on the roads. Or there may be a large number of insects dying. He also said that grain prices will rise sharply, leading to people eating each other. He also said that when the halo surrounds the 'Zhu' star, within thirty days there will be armies fighting in the open surrounding the city. The original text notes that 'Zhu' is another name for the Willow Mansion. The "Wu Xian Zhuan" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Willow Mansion, there will be armies fighting in the open. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo over the Willow Mansion in the first month or the tenth month, it indicates a pardon, and the event will occur within thirty days.

郗萌曰：“月暈七星，有獄事，其在有禍，若旱；一曰輕車戰。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈七星，輕兵戰；若飛蟲多死。”《石氏占》曰：“月以七月暈七星；月暈七星，民多夭傷，物再榮。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Seven Stars mansion, it indicates there will be cases of punishment and litigation, calamity in the place where it occurs, or drought. Another interpretation suggests there will be battles between light cavalry units. (The Seven Stars refer to the Seven Stars of the Vermilion Bird, which governs sudden military actions and bandits.) The "Yellow River Chart: Emperor's Enjoyment of the Marvelous" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Seven Stars, it indicates battles between lightly armed soldiers or the mass death of flying insects. The "Shi School Divination" says: When the moon produces a halo over the Seven Stars in July, it indicates many people will die or be injured, and plants will bloom twice within a year.

《黃帝占》曰：“月暈張，天下大水。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈張，飛鳥死；一曰海鳥亡。”郗萌曰：“月暈張，其地旱，若大人憂；一曰人相食。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈張，大水，魚行人道。”陳卓曰：“月暈張，五穀貴，若鹽貴。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月圍張，飛蟲多死；一曰獄罪，人民不定。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon is eclipsed by a halo covering Zhang Xu, it indicates great floods throughout the land. (Zhang Xu consists of six stars, which are the crop of the Vermilion Bird, governing treasures, ancestral temples, and the Star of livelihood's food supplies.) The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the moon is eclipsed by a halo covering Zhang Xu, it indicates the death of flying birds; another interpretation suggests the disappearance of sea birds. Xi Meng says: When the moon is eclipsed by a halo covering Zhang Xu, it indicates drought in the corresponding region or sorrow for a prominent person; another interpretation suggests people eating each other.

Chen Zhuo says: When the moon is eclipsed by a halo covering Zhang Xu, it indicates high prices for grain or salt. The Di Lian Xi says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Zhang Xu, it indicates a large number of flying insects dying; another interpretation suggests an increase in criminal cases and lawsuits, causing the people to be unsettled.

郗萌曰：“月暈犯翼，女主惡。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈翼，士卒多遁走；一曰卒大聚。”陳卓曰：“月暈翼，士卒大盜；一曰卒勝大盜；一曰士卒勝；一曰春赦；一曰亡其將。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon halo covers and invades Yi Xu, it indicates that the female ruler will encounter misfortune. (Yi Xu consists of twenty-two stars, which are the wings of the Vermilion Bird, governing music officials, performers, and distant guests.) The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon halo covers Yi Xu, it indicates that soldiers will flee in large numbers; another interpretation says that soldiers will gather in great numbers. Chen Zhuo said: When the moon halo covers Yi Xu, it indicates that soldiers will become great bandits; another interpretation says that soldiers will defeat great bandits; yet another says that it only indicates soldiers' victory; another says that there will be an amnesty in spring; and yet another says that the general will be wounded.

郗萌曰：“月暈翼，春有赦；又曰旱，若大風傷。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈翼，兵起天下，庫兵出；一曰有軍，軍罷。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈翼，大戰，民去室宅。”郗萌曰：“月以二月暈翼，至五月，赦；又曰月暈翼，有車馳、人走之事，貴人多反者。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Wings mansion, it indicates there will be amnesty in spring; it also says there will be drought or great damage from strong winds. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Wings mansion, it indicates that war will break out, and the weapons in the military storehouse will be taken out and distributed; another interpretation says that if there are already armies, they will disband. The "Wu Xian Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Wings mansion, it indicates a great battle, and the common people will abandon their homes. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo over the Wings mansion in the second month, there will be amnesty by the fifth month; it also says that when the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Wings mansion, there will be incidents of vehicles and horses rushing about and crowds fleeing, and many prominent people will rebel.

《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“月暈軫，諸侯滅兵。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈軫，大將軍戰死，一曰亡其將；一曰罷軍，無軍。”郗萌曰：“月暈軫，兵起；先起兵者不勝。若大風傷歲。”陳卓曰：“月暈軫，歲小旱。”《荊州占》曰：“月一月而三暈軫，天下無懸車繫馬暈軫，有德令；以十二月暈軫，庫無懸車，廄無繫馬；一曰有軍則罷。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings of the Examination of the Mail say: When the moon is enveloped by a halo covering the Chariot Mansion, it indicates that the feudal lords will cease warfare. (The Chariot Mansion consists of four stars, which are the tail of the Vermilion Bird, governing chariots and wind, and its territory corresponds to the land of Chu.) The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon is enveloped by a halo covering the Chariot Mansion, it indicates that the Grand General will die in battle; another interpretation says that the commander-in-chief will suffer loss; yet another says that warfare will cease and there will be no more military forces. Xi Meng says: When the moon is enveloped by a halo covering the Chariot Mansion, it indicates that war will be initiated, and the party that takes the initiative will not win; or there will be a great wind that harms the harvest. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon is enveloped by a halo covering the Chariot Mansion, it indicates that there will be slight drought in that year. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon produces a halo covering the Chariot Mansion three times in a single month, it indicates that all the carriages and horses in the world will be mobilized, yet the armories will have no carriages to hang and the stables will have no horses to tie; when a halo covers the Chariot Mansion, it indicates that there will be edicts of virtuous governance; if the halo occurs in the twelfth lunar month, it indicates that the treasuries will have no idle carriages and the stables will have no tied horses; another interpretation says that if there are already armies, they will cease warfare.

郗萌曰：“月暈攝提，大角在暈中，天下兵橫行不禁，諸侯分政，天下大亂。內興兵與上爭立者，以其時赦。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈大角，人君侯王親戚憂服。”郗萌曰：“月暈大角，國家亡地。”郗萌曰：“月以正月三暈天平，大赦；一曰天下大敗，多盜。”（貫索別名。）《石氏占》曰：“月暈織女，兵滿天下。”《郗萌占》曰：“月暈天市，有兵。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the star of the Ascendant, and the Great Angle star is also within the halo, it indicates that warfare will spread throughout the land and be uncontrollable, the feudal lords will divide their power, and the world will be in great disorder. If there is someone within the country who rises in arms to contest the throne, this is the time for the issuance of an amnesty. (This section is based on the transmission of the Shi school concerning the 'Middle Officials,' which refers to the three enclosures of the Purple Micro, Tai Wei, and Tian Shi, as well as the area around the Big Dipper surrounding the North Pole, in contrast to the 'Outer Officials' outside the Twenty-Eight Mansions. The six stars of the Ascendant are located between the two sides of the Great Angle, indicating the beginning of the year; the Great Angle is located north of the Horn Mansion, representing the throne of the heavenly king.) The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Great Angle, it indicates that the relatives of the king, dukes, and marquises will face mourning. Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Great Angle, it indicates the loss of territory by the country. Xi Meng said: When the moon produces a halo three times in the first month, covering the 'Tian Ping,' it indicates a great amnesty; another interpretation suggests a great defeat and numerous bandits. (Original book note: Tian Ping is another name for the star of the Chain.) The "Shi School Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Vega star, it indicates warfare spreading throughout the land. The "Xi Meng Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Tian Shi Enclosure, it indicates military affairs.

郗萌曰：“月暈津星，大將死，五穀不成，民流千里，牛馬大疫。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈津星，蛟龍見。”郗萌曰：“月暈津星之口，不出二旬，天下大赦。”郗萌曰：“月暈津星，有亂臣更天子之法令者。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈津星，天下大亂，亡。”陳卓曰：“月暈河鼓，大將出，將失計。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，圍大陵前足，赦死罪；圍後足，赦小罪。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Tianjin Star, it indicates the death of a great general, failure of the five grains to mature, and the migration of people over a thousand miles, with cattle and horses suffering a great plague. (Tianjin is nine stars spanning the Milky Way, serving as a bridge for crossing water, hence its name; when a halo surrounds it, it often relates to water affairs and roads.) The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Tianjin, it indicates the appearance of a dragon. Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering the Tianjin end, within twenty days, the whole country will have a general amnesty. Xi Meng said: When the moon is surrounded by a halo covering Tianjin, it indicates the presence of a rebellious minister who alters the emperor's laws.

The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the moon produces a halo surrounding the front foot of Da Ling Star, it indicates the pardon of death sentences; surrounding the back foot, it indicates the pardon of lesser crimes.

郗萌曰：“月暈五車，其國女主惡之。”石氏曰：“月暈五車，圍一星，赦小罪；圍二星、三星、四星，赦次罪；圍五星，赦死罪。並暈畢、昴、大陵，必大赦。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈五車，一柱，兵少出圍；二柱，兵半出圍；三柱，兵盡出。兵在外，暈一柱，兵少罷；二柱，兵半罷；三柱，兵盡罷。”

Xi Meng said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Five Star Carriage, it indicates that the female ruler of the corresponding territory will suffer misfortune. (The Five Star Carriage is located north of Bi Host, and it represents the carriages of the Five Emperors, as well as the abundance or scarcity of grain and the use of military chariots.) The Shi school said: When the moon's halo surrounds the Five Star Carriage, if it encircles one star, it indicates the remission of minor crimes; if it encircles two, three, or four stars, it indicates the remission of crimes of the next level; if it encircles all five stars, it indicates the remission of capital punishment. If the moon's halo also surrounds Bi Host, Hairy Head Mansion, and the Great Tomb Star at the same time, there will certainly be a great amnesty. The Wu Xian Divination says: When the moon's halo surrounds the Five Star Carriage, if the halo produces one column of gas, it indicates a small-scale military deployment to relieve the situation; if two columns are produced, it indicates half the army being deployed; if three columns are produced, it indicates the entire army being deployed. If the army is already outside the country, and the halo produces one column, it indicates a small-scale withdrawal of troops; if two columns are produced, it indicates half the army withdrawing; if three columns are produced, it indicates the entire army returning.

郗萌曰：“月暈五車，不及獄星，無赦：又曰月以正月暈五車，圍五星，有德令；以四月、七月、十月暈五車，有水，陰雨五十日：以十＝月暈五車，五穀貴：又曰以十二月暈五車，期四月，有德令。”郗萌曰：“月一歲三暈天關，其年赦；又曰月暈無關，不出六月，有大喪，以其日占國；暈天關，民多疾。”（南北河之別名。）

Xi Meng said: If the moon's halo surrounds the five chariots but does not touch the Tian Yu star among them, there will be no pardon; he also said that if the moon produces a halo in the first month surrounding the five chariots and encircles all five stars, it indicates a decree of virtue; if it happens in the fourth, seventh, or tenth month, there will be flooding and continuous rain for fifty days; if it happens in the eleventh month, there will be high grain prices. He also said that if the moon produces a halo in the twelfth month surrounding the five chariots, the event will occur in the fourth month, indicating a decree of virtue. Xi Meng also said: If the moon produces a halo three times a year surrounding Tian Guan star, there will be a pardon in that year; he also said that if the moon's halo surrounds Tian Guan, there will be a great mourning within six months, and one can determine which state it will occur in by the stem-branch of the day the halo appears; if the halo surrounds Tian Guan, it indicates many people will suffer from illness. (Original note: Tian Guan is another name for Nan He and Bei He.)

《荊州占》曰：“月行宿天門，暈三重，氣青，關梁不通。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈南北河戍，有雲貫之，起兵者勝。”郗萌曰：“月暈南北河戍，有土功。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈軒轅，有女喪。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈軒轅，不出其月，有客來。”京房曰：“庚子夜，月暈軒轅，後甲子有大赦。”郗萌曰：“月暈圍軒轅，不出五十日，天下小赦。”

The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the moon passes through and stays at the heavenly gate, three layers of halos appear, with the halo color being green, indicating blockage of passes and bridges. The book Dili Xian says: When the moon's halo covers the戍 stars of the southern river and northern river, and there is cloud crossing the halo, the side that first sends troops will win. (The southern river and northern river each have three stars, located north and south of the well mansion, like the heavenly gate, guarding the passage for the sun, moon, and five planets.) Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo covers the戍 stars of the southern river and northern river, there will be earth and wood construction work. The book Huangdi Zhan says: When the moon's halo covers the Xuanyan star, there will be the death of a woman. (The Xuanyan star consists of seventeen stars located north of the seven-star mansion, shaped like a soaring dragon, representing the image of the queen consort.) The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the moon's halo covers the Xuanyan star, within the same month, there will be visitors arriving. Jing Fang says: On the night of Gengzi day, when the moon's halo covers the Xuanyan star, by the following Jiazi day there will be a great amnesty. Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo surrounds the Xuanyan star, within fifty days, the whole country will have a minor amnesty.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈天庭，天子以兵自衛。”《巫咸占》曰：“月暈太微庭，天子發軍自衛，不入將軍之軍；又曰一二三軍庭，人主自衛。”郗萌曰：“月三暈紫微赦。”石氏曰：“月暈太微宮，天子以兵自守：三暈之，天子自臨兵行。”甘氏曰：“月一月三暈圍太微庭，天子座發軍，謀在軍中；一曰天子亡也，以大赦解之。”《京房占》曰：“月以庚子夜暈太微，至後甲子，有赦令。”郗萌曰：“月暈黃帝座，有赦令。”郗萌曰：“月暈文昌，赦。”《荊州占》曰：“月以正月三暈天牢，大赦。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the celestial court, it indicates the emperor will mobilize troops for self-defense. The "Wuxian Divination" says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Taiwei region, it indicates the emperor will mobilize troops for self-defense, but not involving the general's forces; it also says that if the halo appears once, twice, or three times over the Taiwei region, it indicates the sovereign will personally guard the court. (The Taiwei region is located north of the wings and zhen stars, representing the southern palace court of the emperor, with the palaces of twelve feudal states; the Ziwēi region is located at the north celestial pole, representing the dwelling of the heavenly emperor.) Xi Meng says: When the moon forms a halo three times over the Ziwēi region, it indicates a general pardon. The Shi school says: When the moon is surrounded by a halo over the Taiwei palace, it indicates the emperor will mobilize troops for self-defense; if the halo appears three times, it indicates the emperor will personally lead the military campaign. The Gan school says: When the moon forms a halo three times around the Taiwei region within a month, it indicates the sovereign star will command the king to mobilize troops, with military strategies being planned in the field; another interpretation indicates the emperor is in danger of loss, and a great pardon is needed to resolve it. The Jingfang Divination says: When the moon forms a halo over the Taiwei region on a Gengzi day, there will be a pardon by the following Jiazi day. Xi Meng says: When the moon forms a halo over the Yellow Emperor's seat, it indicates a pardon. Xi Meng also says: When the moon forms a halo over the Wenwang region, it indicates a pardon. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon forms a halo three times over the Tianlao star in the first lunar month, it indicates a great pardon.

《巫咸占》曰：“月暈連環及北斗，天下大亂，國喪，民徙千里：不則有流亡、拔城，反地者，不出二年。”《黃帝占》曰：“月暈北斗，有喪，流民千里，糴貴，兵聚。甲乙期百二十日，丙丁期八十日：戊己期六十日；庚辛期四十日；壬癸期二十日皆行矣。一日兵大起，有益地者：一曰天下火，兵大起。”

The Wu Xian Divination says: If the moon halo forms a ring and extends continuously to the Big Dipper, it indicates great chaos in the country, state calamities, and people migrating thousands of miles; otherwise, there will be cases of people fleeing and dispersing, cities being attacked and captured, and territories changing hands. The fulfillment of these omens will not be beyond two years. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the moon halo covers the Big Dipper, it indicates state calamities, refugees fleeing thousands of miles, high grain prices, and gathering of troops. If the halo appears on Jia or Yi days, the fulfillment will be in 120 days; on Bing or Ding days, in 80 days; on Wu or Ji days, in 60 days; on Geng or Xin days, in 40 days; and on Ren or Gui days, in 20 days, and these will all come to pass. Another interpretation suggests great military movements and territorial expansion; yet another suggests widespread fires and great military movements across the land.

《郗萌占》曰：“月暈北斗，再重如連環狀，不出三年，大臣有誅者；又曰暈北斗，有大喪，赦天下。”（按魏黃初四年十一月十七日有此，到七年五月，文帝崩，明帝即位，大赦天下。）陳卓曰：“月暈北斗、太微、大角，各得一星，兵大動，天下亂。不然，即水入城，傷人民，期三十日。”夏氏曰：“暈如連環，重暈北斗魁前第一星、第二星，大臣下獄，流移二千里；又曰暈輔星，大臣下獄。”石氏曰：“月暈一重，下缺不合，上有冠戴，旁有兩珥，白暈連環，貫珥，接北斗，國有大兵，大戰流血，其分亡地，不出一年。”

The Xi Meng commentary states: When the moon's halo surrounds the Big Dipper, forming two overlapping rings like a chain, there will be the execution of a high-ranking official within three years; it also says that when the moon's halo surrounds the Big Dipper, it indicates a major death in the royal family, followed by a general amnesty. (Original note: On November 17th of the fourth year of the Yellow Initial era under Emperor Wen of Wei, such an astronomical phenomenon occurred. By May of the seventh year of the Yellow Initial era, Emperor Wen died, and Emperor Ming took the throne, leading to a general amnesty.) Chen Zhuo says: When the moon's halo surrounds the Big Dipper, Taiwei, and Dajiao, each area surrounding a single star, it indicates major military movements and chaos across the country; otherwise, it signifies a great flood entering the city and harming the people, with the event occurring within thirty days. The Xia school says: When the halo forms a chain-like shape, with multiple layers of halo surrounding the first and second stars of the Big Dipper's handle, it indicates that high-ranking officials will be imprisoned, exiled, or relocated more than two thousand li away; it also says that when the halo surrounds the auxiliary star, it indicates that high-ranking officials will be imprisoned. The Shi school says: When the moon's halo is only one layer, and the lower part is incomplete, unable to close, while the upper part has a crown-like and a cap-like appearance, with two ear-like clouds on both sides, the white halo connects to form a ring, passing through the two ears and connecting to the Big Dipper, it indicates that the country will face major military conflicts, large-scale bloody battles, and the loss of territory in that region, with the event occurring within one year.

石氏曰：“月暈平星凶。”又曰：“月暈魚星，凶奪”石氏曰：“月暈九次，凶。”郗萌曰：“月以四月、七月、十月暈弧，兵起。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈狼星，狗多暴死。”

The Shi school says: When the moon's halo covers Ping Star, it indicates misfortune. (This section refers to the 'Outer Officials' transmitted by Shi Shen's school, which are star officials located outside the Twenty-Eight Mansions and spread across the four directions. The two Ping Stars are located to the north of Kulu, and they are associated with the administration of justice.) The Shi school also says: When the moon's halo covers Yu Star, it indicates misfortune and death. The Shi school says: When the moon's halo covers the Nine Times Stars, it indicates misfortune. Xi Meng says: When the moon produces a halo in April, July, or October and covers Huo Shi Star, it indicates military action. (The nine stars of Huo Shi are located to the southeast of the Wolf Star, forming the shape of a bow and arrow, pointing directly at Tian Wang, and they are associated with guarding against thieves.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon's halo covers Tian Lang Star, it indicates that dogs will die in large numbers.

《荊州占》曰：“月宿天門，暈三重，氣青，關梁不通。”郗萌曰：“月暈天高，不出六月，必有大喪，以其日占邦。”石氏曰：“月暈月星，不出四年，有殃，內禍匿謀。”郗萌曰：“月暈天街，關梁不通。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon stays at the heavenly gate, three layers of halos appear, with the halo color being green, indicating obstruction of passes and bridges. (This section refers to the astronomical constellations transmitted by Gan De's school.) Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo covers the star Tian Gao, within six months there will certainly be a great mourning, and the day the halo appears can be used with the heavenly stem and earthly branch to determine which state it will affect. The Shi school says: When the moon's halo covers the moon star, within four years there will be calamity, which is a disaster within the palace and secret plots. Xi Meng says: When the moon's halo covers the star Tian Jie, it indicates obstruction of passes and bridges. (The two stars Tian Jie are located between Bi Xu and Mao Xu, serving as the boundary between the Hu and Chinese regions, thus governing the passage of bridges and roads.)

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈而珥，歲為平安。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“暈而兩珥，先起兵者有喜。”《帝覽嬉》曰；“月有雲，暈不合，外有四倍璚，外有謀不成。”甘氏曰：“月暈有虹、背、蜺、亂起，期百八十日。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，蜺雲乘之，以戰從蜺所住者，大勝。”石氏曰：“月暈，無精光，青赤暈、虹、蜺、背、璚，是謂大蕩，兵喪並起，王者以赦除。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon produces a halo and has two ear-like clouds on either side, it indicates peace throughout the year. (This passage lists various forms of clouds around the moon: "ear-like clouds" resemble ears attached to the moon; "hat-like clouds" resemble a hat covering the moon; "headgear-like clouds" resemble an object placed on top of the moon; "embrace-like clouds" resemble hands encircling the moon; "back-like clouds" resemble a curved cloud facing away from the moon; "ring-like clouds" are also written as "jue" and resemble a broken jade ring; "straight clouds" resemble a vertical column of cloud; "rainbow" and "nai" are curved colored clouds resembling bridges, with "rainbow" being the male and "nai" the female.) The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon produces a halo and has two ear-like clouds, it indicates that the side which first launches an army will have good fortune. The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When there are clouds around the moon and the halo cannot close, with four back-like ring-like clouds surrounding the outside, it indicates that plots from the outside will not succeed. The Gan school says: When there are rainbows, back-like clouds, and nai clouds appearing together with the halo of the moon, it indicates an event occurring after 180 days. The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon produces a halo and there is a nai cloud cloud blocking it, if an army attacks in the direction of the nai cloud, it will achieve a great victory. The Shi school says: When the moon produces a halo without any brightness, and the halo is mixed with red and dark red colors along with rainbows, nai clouds, back-like clouds, and ring-like clouds, this is called "great turmoil," indicating that warfare and funerals will occur together, and the king should use amnesty to eliminate this.

《高宗占》曰：“月暈，有雲加之，兵入境，所宿國主有喪。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有雲貫暈，左右吏死。”京房《易傳》曰：“月暈，有雲貫暈，不期年，所值國有喪。”《荊州占》曰；“月暈，有雲橫貫之，起兵者勝。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有雲大如厚布，四貫暈，通月；不出其年，主人憂。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有雲如厚布，若三若四，貫暈抵月，以戰勿當，當者破。”

The book "Gaozong's Divination" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is cloud covering it, it indicates enemy troops invading the country. The ruler of the country corresponding to the star position where the moon is located will die. "Dilangxi" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is cloud passing through the halo, it indicates the death of officials close to the ruler. Jingfang's "Yi Transmission" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is cloud passing through the halo, within a year, the country corresponding to the star position where the moon is located will have calamity. "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is cloud crossing through it, it indicates that the side which first launches an attack will win. "Dilangxi" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is thick cloud like a heavy cloth, with four paths passing through the halo and reaching the moon, within the same year, the ruler of the defending side will have worries. "Dilangxi" says: When the moon develops a halo, and there is thick cloud like a heavy cloth, either three or four paths passing through the halo and reaching the moon, in battle it is advisable not to attack directly, for the side that attacks directly will surely lose.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，赤雲大如杵，有軍在外，萬人死其下。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，有白雲出其中，東西竟天，萬氏受賜。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月有白雲貫暈，其云大如杵，一端抵月，月之所直者，不出年中，國主女喪。”《高宗占》曰：“月暈，多白氣從外入，攻城城拔，得大將；多白氣從中出，主人勝。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有白氣，廣可二三尺，而抵月，在東方，名嬰兒：攻人地者，亡其師。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon develops a halo, if there is red cloud vapor thick and large like a wooden mallet, it indicates that there are armies outside, and over ten thousand soldiers will die under the direction of this cloud vapor. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon develops a halo, if there is white cloud vapor emerging from the halo, stretching east and west across the sky, it indicates that the people will be rewarded. The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon develops a halo, if there is white cloud vapor thick and large like a wooden mallet, stretching across the moon, one end touching the moon, then the region corresponding to the direction the moon is facing will not survive this year, and the queen consort of the country's ruler will die. The "High Emperor Divination" says: When the moon develops a halo, if there is a large amount of white vapor invading from outside the halo towards the center, it indicates that if an attack is launched, the city will be captured and the enemy's general will be captured alive; if there is a large amount of white vapor emerging from the halo outward, it indicates that the defending side will win. The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the moon develops a halo, if there is white vapor about two or three feet wide touching the moon, appearing in the east, it is called "Infant," indicating that the side attacking another's territory will suffer losses to its own army.

卓氏曰：“月暈，有雲貫暈，約月，不出其年，所直國有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，有白雲一，黑雲二，如布抵暈，有國城拔，邑將死。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有青雲刺月，是謂賊害，主受其殃，為歲五穀不熟。有赤雲刺月，是謂仇賊；有黃雲圍月，有女主戮死者；期不出四十日。有白雲刺月，其國君遇賊；有黑雲貫月。乍一乍二乍三，其名曰衡，雲所宿國，主死，若將軍死。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the moon produces a halo, if there are clouds passing through the halo and winding around the moon, there will be mourning in the country corresponding to the direction the moon is facing within this year. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon produces a halo, if there is a white cloud and two black clouds like cloth blocking the halo, it indicates that a city will be captured and the general of the city will die in battle. The "Di Lan Xi" says: When the moon produces a halo, if there is a green cloud like a spear pointing directly at the moon, this is called "zhehai", indicating the sovereign will suffer calamity, and this year the five grains will not be ripe. If there is a red cloud piercing the moon, this is called "chouzhe"; if there is a yellow cloud surrounding the moon, it indicates that a female ruler will be killed, and the prediction will come true within forty days. If there is a white cloud piercing the moon, it indicates that the king of the country will be attacked by bandits; if there is a black cloud passing through the moon, sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes three, it is called "heng", and the country corresponding to the cloud's direction will have the king or general die.

《荊州占》曰：“月暈，有流星出其中，其國貴人有出走者；流星入其中，有大使入者。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有流星橫貫月，度暈中者，諸侯皇后有亡失國者；又曰流星貫暈，不中月，出月右，如建鼓，右吏死：出月左，左吏死。”

The *Jingzhou Zhuan* says: If the moon produces a halo and a shooting star emerges from the halo, it indicates that a prominent person from the corresponding territory will flee or escape. If a shooting star enters the halo, it signifies that an envoy will arrive from another country. The *Dili Xiyi* says: If the moon produces a halo and a shooting star crosses the moon's body and passes through the halo, it foretells disaster for a prince or the queen. It also says that if a shooting star passes through the halo but does not directly strike the moon's body, and emerges from the right side of the moon, resembling a large drum, it indicates the death of officials on the right side. If it emerges from the left side, it indicates the death of officials on the left side.

《帝覽嬉》曰；“天下無雲，有流星過月下，若月上，其國有喜：一日兵出。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈，有流星從中出，其包蒼，其國憂；若赤，拔城：黃，益地：白，來年穀熟，黑，軍敗。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，有星出中國，貴人有出走者；有星從外入暈中，其國有大夫入者。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Pleasures" says: When the sky is clear with no clouds and a shooting star passes by the moon from below or above, it indicates that the region corresponding to that area will experience joy and celebration; another interpretation suggests it may indicate military action. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon develops a halo, and a shooting star flies out from the halo, if the star is dark blue, it indicates that the country will face troubles; if it is red, it suggests the city will be captured; if it is yellow, it indicates the country will expand its territory; if it is white, it suggests that the next year's crops will be abundant; if it is black, it indicates the army will suffer defeat. The "Imperial Inspection of Pleasures" also says: When the moon develops a halo and a star flies out from the halo, it indicates that a person of high status will flee or escape; if a star flies into the halo from outside, it indicates that a minister will come to the country to submit.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月暈，客星所宿主國憂。”《石氏占》曰：“月暈客星，星有月北，北國勝；星在月南，南國勝。”（他方準此）

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: When the moon develops a halo and there is a guest star within it, it indicates that the country corresponding to the constellation where the guest star is located will experience calamity. (The term "guest star" refers to a star that does not normally exist but suddenly appears and disappears after some time, such as a nova or a comet, because it is like a guest temporarily staying there.) The "Shi School Divination" says: When the moon's halo covers a guest star, if the guest star is to the north of the moon, it indicates that the northern country will win; if the guest star is to the south of the moon, it indicates that the southern country will win. (Original book note: other directions can be inferred similarly.)

京氏曰：“月生三日，無光魄，其必蝕。”京房《易飛候》曰：“孟月六日而暈，月蝕；仲月七日暈，月蝕；季月八日暈，其月蝕。”《易緯萌氣樞》曰：“候月盡蝕，視水中不見影者，月盡蝕。”

Jing Fang said: On the third day after the new moon, if there is no distinction between the bright and dark parts, an eclipse of the moon will certainly occur this month. (The term 'hou' means to predict or verify in advance; this passage discusses how to predict an eclipse of the moon from lunar phenomena.) Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" said: If a halo appears on the sixth day of the first month, it indicates an eclipse of the moon in that month; if a halo appears on the seventh day of the second month, it indicates an eclipse of the moon in that month; if a halo appears on the eighth day of the third month, it indicates an eclipse of the moon in that month. The "Yi Wei Meng Qi Shu" said: The method to predict a total lunar eclipse is to observe the moon's reflection in water. If the moon's reflection cannot be seen in the water, it indicates a total lunar eclipse.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月赤黃無光，曰薄；毀傷，曰蝕，皆不祥，善惡各有為其國。”京房《易傳》曰：“日月不交而蝕，曰薄。”孟康曰：“日月無光，曰薄。”《易豐卦》曰：“月盈則食。”《釋名》曰：“日月虧曰蝕；稍侵，虧如蟲食草木葉也。”《詩》曰：“彼月而食，則惟其常；此日而食，於何不藏。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: when the moon's color turns reddish yellow and loses its brightness, it is called "bo"; when the moon's body is eroded and damaged, it is called "shi". Both are ominous signs, with good and bad fortune corresponding to different regions. Jing Fang's "Commentary on the Changes" says: when the sun and moon do not obscure each other but their brightness becomes dim, it is called "bo". Meng Kang says: when the sun and moon lose their brightness, it is called "bo". The "Commentary on the Hexagrams" of the "Zhou Changes" says: when the moon is full to its extreme, it will be eroded. "Shi Ming" says: the erosion of the sun and moon is called "shi"; gradually being occupied and losing brightness, it is like insects eating the leaves of grass and trees. The "Book of Songs, Xiao Ya, October's Meeting" says: the moon's erosion is still a common occurrence; but the sun's erosion is how ominous and cannot be concealed.

班固《天文志》曰：古人有言曰：“天下太平，五星循度，無有逆行者，日不蝕朔，月不蝕望。”王充《論衡》曰：“王者，有至德之萌；日月無朔望之異。”（異謂蝕之）《京氏占》曰：“月與日相沖，分天下之半，循於黃道，鳥兔相沖，光盛威重，數盈理極，危亡之災，一時頓盡，遂使太陽，奪其光華，暗虛虧其體質；小潛則小虧，大驕則大滅，此理數之常數也。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: Ancient people said that when the world was at peace, the five stars each followed their own course without retrograding. The sun did not eclipse on the new moon day, and the moon did not eclipse on the full moon day. Wang Chong's "Discourses on Weights and Measures" says: If a ruler has the beginning of supreme virtue, the sun and moon will not show anomalies on the new moon or full moon days. (Original note: The term "anomalies" refers to solar and lunar eclipses.) The "Jing Shi Zhan" says: When the moon and sun are directly opposite each other, each occupying half the heavens, they both follow the Yellow Path. At noon, the golden bird of the sun and the jade rabbit of the moon face each other from afar. At this time, the moon's light is at its peak and its power is at its height. The fullness has reached its limit, and the principle of waxing and waning has reached its extreme. Thus, calamities of decline, danger, and ruin descend all at once. Then the sun takes away the moon's brightness, and the shadow of the earth, called "dark void," causes a loss to the moon's form. A small eclipse is only a slight defect, but when the moon is overly full, it completely disappears. This is the constant law of heaven.

《洛書》曰：“日月當用兵擊之。若安居，日月蝕不可出軍。日蝕之歲，不可出軍；月蝕之月，不可出軍。”甘氏曰：“無道之國，日月過之薄蝕，兵之所攻，國家壞亡，又以有喪。”《洪範傳》曰：“人君失序，國不明，臣不瞀亂，群陰蔽陽，則日月薄蝕；闇昧無光，四方蹐起，背璚縱橫，賊亂交爭，兵革並行。”

The Luo Writing says: When there is an eclipse of the sun or moon, one should send troops to attack the country that corresponds to the omen; if one remains in defense and peace, then during the time of solar or lunar eclipse, one must not send troops out. In the year of a solar eclipse, one must not send troops; in the month of a lunar eclipse, one must not send troops. The Gan school says: A country without virtue, when the sun and moon pass through its territory, will experience eclipses, which is precisely the place where military force should be directed. The country will eventually collapse and perish, and there will be mourning. The Hongfan Zhuan says: When the sovereign's decrees lose order, the state affairs are not clear, ministers are confused, and the gathering of dark forces obscures the bright energy, then the sun and moon will be eclipsed; the sky becomes dark and without light, the four directions are cramped and uneasy, the rebellious energy and the jade-like energy intersect, bandits and calamities contend with each other, and weapons are all raised.

《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“麟龍鬥，日月蝕。”（按《淮南鴻烈》曰：麒麟斗，則日月蝕之。）《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月薄所宿，國主疾。”《春秋緯感精符》曰：“臣下大恣橫，則日月薄於晦。”《石氏曰》曰：“日蝕，其鄉有拔邑大戰。”《石氏占》曰：“師出門而月蝕，當其國之野，大敗；一曰軍死而後生。”《石氏占》曰：“月蝕三日，有雨事解，不占；一雲七日。”（其雨用戶雪必須普霈，如微不解。）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: External Transmission says: When a qilin and a dragon fight, the sun and moon will be eclipsed. (Original note: According to the Huainanzi: When a qilin fights, the sun and moon will be eclipsed.) The Yellow River Chart: The Emperor's Enjoyment says: When the moon is partially eclipsed in a particular star region, it indicates that the king of the corresponding territory will be ill. The Spring and Autumn Annals: Responsive Symbols says: When ministers are extremely arrogant and tyrannical, the sun and moon will be eclipsed on the day of the new moon. The Shi school says: When there is a lunar eclipse, there will be a major battle in the territory corresponding to the eclipse. (The original text has errors in the title and the word 'sun and moon'.) The Shi school's Divination says: When an army leaves the city and encounters a lunar eclipse, if it is in the territory corresponding to the eclipse, it indicates a great defeat; another version says that when the army first falls into a dead end and then escapes. The Shi school's Divination says: If it rains within three days after a lunar eclipse, the abnormal phenomenon will be resolved, and there is no need for further divination; another version says within seven days. (Original note: The rain or snow must be widespread and sufficient; if it is only light and scattered rain, the abnormal phenomenon will not be resolved.)

《雒書雒罪級》曰：“月蝕既，不吉，刑法失命。”《荊州占》曰：“謀臣以直死，月為之數蝕。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕所宿國，貴人死。用兵者從月蝕之面攻城，取地。日亦然。”《荊州占》曰：“日月蝕，當其國，君王死。又，攻戰從蝕所擊之者，勝。”《尚書緯刑德放》曰：“當赦而不赦，月為之蝕。”董仲舒《對災異》曰：“臣行刑罰，執法不得其中；怨氣盛，並濫及良善，則月蝕。”

The Luo Shu Luo Zui Ji says: When the moon is entirely eclipsed, it is an ominous sign, indicating that the standards of criminal punishment have been lost. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When loyal ministers who plan strategies die due to speaking truthfully, the moon frequently wanes as a result. The Di Lan Xi says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in a particular star region, it signifies the death of a prominent person in the corresponding territory. When waging war, the side that attacks the city from the direction where the moon begins to wane can conquer the land; the same applies to solar eclipses. The Jingzhou Zhan also says: When a solar or lunar eclipse occurs in the star region of a particular country, it indicates the death of the king of that country. Additionally, during battle, attacking in the direction of the waning part of the eclipse will lead to victory. The Shangshu Wei Xing De Fang says: When pardon should be given but is not, the moon will wane as a result. Dong Zhongshu's "Dui Zaiyi" says: When officials administer punishment and fail to apply justice equally, resentment accumulates, and innocent people are wrongly affected, a lunar eclipse will occur.

《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕所宿國，貴人死；又曰其鄉有拔邑大戰。”《易緯通卦驗》曰：“月蝕曰：“月蝕者，人君行適時時專受所致也。不救，則致水害，壞城。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕，則失刑之國當之。”京房《易房》曰：“月蝕，失刑；所宿之國當之。”

The *Yellow River Chart: Imperial Survey and Enjoyment* says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in a particular star group, it indicates the death of a prominent person in the territory corresponding to that star group; it also signifies a great battle where cities will be captured. The *Comprehensive Verification of the Changes* says: A lunar eclipse is caused by the ruler acting improperly and ruling alone. If not corrected, it will bring about floods that destroy cities. (The original text repeats the phrase 'lunar eclipse' three times, which is an error.) The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When a lunar eclipse occurs, the country that has unjust punishments will suffer the calamity. Jing Fang's *Commentary on the Changes* says: A lunar eclipse indicates unjust punishments, and the country corresponding to the star group where the moon is located will bear the calamity. (The original text mistakenly writes 'Easy Fang' instead of 'Commentary on the Changes'.)

《帝覽嬉》曰：“兵常在內而月蝕，其國受殃；又曰兵未起而月蝕，所當之國起兵，戰不勝。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月當交而蝕，君子道長，小人道消。”夏氏曰：“月蝕出軍，軍折傷後有失。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月滿而蝕，兩軍相當必戰，無軍兵必出，將死於野。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: If troops remain stationed within the country and a lunar eclipse occurs, it indicates that the country will suffer calamity; it also says that if a lunar eclipse occurs before any military action is taken, it indicates that the corresponding country will soon take up arms, but will not achieve victory. Jing Fang's "Book of Changes and Divination" says: If the moon is at the time of an eclipse and indeed appears darkened, it indicates that the way of the virtuous will grow stronger, while the way of the petty person will decline. The Xia family says: If an army goes to war during a lunar eclipse, it will result in the loss of soldiers and casualties, and there will be further losses afterwards. The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" also says: If the moon is at its full phase and then becomes eclipsed, it indicates that two armies must surely engage in battle; if there were no armies originally, they will surely mobilize, and the commander will die in the fields.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕以晨，相及太子當之；以夕，君當之。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: If an eclipse of the moon occurs at the beginning of the morning, the chancellor and the crown prince should bear the calamity; if it occurs at the beginning of the evening, the sovereign should bear the calamity. (The reason why different people bear the calamity depending on whether the eclipse occurs in the early or late part of the night is because the early part of the night belongs to the sovereign, while the later part belongs to the ministers.)

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕起南方，男子惡之；起北方，女子惡之；起東方，少者惡之；起西方，老者惡之。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月未望而蝕，從上始而盡無光，天子坐之。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: If a lunar eclipse begins to wane from the southern side, it indicates misfortune befalls a man; if it begins from the northern side, misfortune befalls a woman; if it begins from the eastern side, misfortune befalls a young person; if it begins from the western side, misfortune befalls an old person. The *Dilang Xi* says: If a lunar eclipse occurs before the full moon and starts to wane from the upper side, continuing until the moon has no light left, it indicates the emperor will bear this calamity.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕東方，其月中有惡風；月蝕西方，主人為客。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕從上始，謂之失道，國君當之，從下始，謂之失法，將軍當之；從傍始，謂之失令，相當之；又曰從上始為君親，從下始為赤子蝕，其陰為女蝕。”

The "Imperial Amusements" says: If a lunar eclipse begins to wane from the east, it indicates there will be evil winds during the month; if it begins to wane from the west, it indicates that the originally defending main direction will instead become the distant guest direction. The "Imperial Amusements" also says: If a lunar eclipse begins to wane from above, it is called "losing the path," and the sovereign should bear the responsibility; if it begins to wane from below, it is called "losing the method," and the general should bear the responsibility; if it begins to wane from the side, it is called "losing the command," and the chancellor should bear the responsibility. It also says that if the lunar eclipse begins to wane from above, it should concern the sovereign and his relatives; if it begins to wane from below, it should concern newborn infants; if it begins to wane from the shady side, it should concern women.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月蝕盡，女主當之。”《荊州占》曰：“月盡蝕，當其下者，君死；一曰有死相。”《河圖帝覽嬉》曰：“有軍在外而月蝕盡者，軍罷帥。”《荊州占》曰：“月蝕盡，有大戰，軍破、將死、拔邑、亡地；蝕不盡，軍破、將不死。”京房《妖占》曰：“以十五日蝕而盡，此謂毀亡，其君有喪，若水。”京房《易飛候》曰：“月蝕盡，則有亡國；不盡，有失地。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: When the moon is entirely eclipsed, it is a sign that a female ruler will bear this calamity. ("Eclipse complete" refers to a total lunar eclipse, "half divided" means the moon is exactly half obscured.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is entirely eclipsed, the region directly beneath the moon will indicate the death of the sovereign; another interpretation suggests the death of a chancellor. The "Yellow River Chart - Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: If a total lunar eclipse occurs while there are troops stationed outside, it signifies the dismissal of the commander. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: A total lunar eclipse indicates a great battle, the defeat of the army, the death of the general, the capture of cities, and the loss of territory; if the eclipse is not complete, the army may be defeated but the general will not die. Jing Fang's "Omen Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs on the fifteenth day and is total, it is called "ruin and loss," indicating the death of the sovereign of the country or a flood disaster. Jing Fang's "Yi Flying Observation" says: A total lunar eclipse signifies the downfall of a state; if the eclipse is not complete, it signifies the loss of territory.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕盡，大人憂，月曰糴貴，又曰豪族滅勢，家絕。”石氏曰：“月蝕不盡，光耀散，臣之象。”石氏曰：“月蝕盡，光耀亡，君之殃。”《刑德放》曰：“五刑當輕，反重虐酷，忽月蝕消既，行失繩墨，大水淫枯旱；其救之也，惟敬五刑，以成三德。”石氏曰：“月蝕中分，不出五分，國有憂，兵敗、軍亡。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: A total lunar eclipse indicates great people will suffer calamity; another interpretation suggests it portends soaring grain prices; yet another says it signifies the decline of powerful families and the collapse of family lineages. The Shi school says: When the moon is partially eclipsed, its light is scattered and disordered, which is an omen of ministers. The Shi school also says: A total lunar eclipse with the moon's light completely lost is an omen of calamity for the sovereign. The *Shangshu Wei Xingde Fang* says: The five punishments should be light, but they become harsh and cruel instead. Suddenly a total lunar eclipse occurs, indicating that actions have lost their standard and law, which will lead to floods or droughts; the remedy is to use the five punishments with reverence and caution, cultivating the three virtues of strength, flexibility, and uprightness. The Shi school says: When the lunar eclipse exactly reduces the moon by half, and the loss does not exceed five-tenths, it indicates the state will face worries, military defeat, and the destruction of the army.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕青色，人民多死者，五穀有傷，糴且大貴，望之下賤，皆不出一年，各為其國災；月蝕赤色者，君為客，不出其年；蝕黃色者，不出其年，有立諸侯為國者；月蝕白色，其國失地，若有喪。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears red, it indicates that the ruler will leave the country and reside elsewhere, and this will happen within the same year. When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears yellow, it indicates that within the same year there will be someone appointed as a feudal lord and establishing a new state. When a lunar eclipse occurs and the moon appears white, it indicates that the country will lose territory or there will be mourning events.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕盡者，糴貴，各為國。月已蝕而青者，為憂；月已蝕而赤者，為兵；月已蝕而黃者，為財；月已蝕而白者，為喪；月已蝕而黑者，為水。”（蕭子顯《齊書》曰：“永泰元年正月乙亥，月蝕，色赤如血，二日而大司馬王敬則舉兵反。）

The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the moon is completely eclipsed, it indicates that grain prices will rise sharply, and each region will correspond to a particular country. If after the moon is eclipsed and regains its round shape, the moon appears bluish, there will be calamities; if it appears red, there will be military conflicts; if it appears yellow, there will be benefits from wealth; if it appears white, there will be funerals; if it appears black, there will be floods. (A note from the original text cites Xiao Zixian's "Southern Qi Book": In the first month of Yongta year of Emperor Ming of the Southern Qi dynasty, on the day of Yihai, there was a lunar eclipse, and the moon turned red like blood. Two days later, the Grand Marshal Wang Jingze rebelled.)

京房《易飛候》曰：“月暈蝕殃祥；得其日者吉，得其時者凶。”石氏曰：“月蝕而暈，其國君主惡之。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈而蝕，人相食。”石氏曰：“月斗薄而蝕，有軍必戰，無兵兵起。”石氏曰：“兩月並蝕，天下大亂。”

Jing Fang's "Yi Fei Hou" says: The calamities and blessings indicated by a lunar halo or lunar eclipse depend on the time they occur. If they appear on the proper day, it is auspicious; if they only occur at the proper time, it is inauspicious. The Shi school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs and a halo appears, it indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will encounter misfortune. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When the moon first appears as a halo and then wanes and is eclipsed, it indicates a great famine where people eat each other. The Shi school says: When two moons confront each other, their light is dim and they are eclipsed, it indicates that those who already have armies will definitely fight, and even those without military affairs will start wars. ("Dòu yuè" refers to an unusual phenomenon where two moons appear close to each other.) The Shi school says: When two moons are both eclipsed, it indicates great chaos throughout the world.

《荊州占》曰：“月蝕，有氣從外來，入月中，主人凶，氣從中出，客凶，氣南行，南軍凶；北東西者亦然。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: When an eclipse of the moon occurs, if clouds come from outside and enter the moon's body, it indicates disaster for the defending side. If clouds emerge from within the moon and spread outward, it indicates disaster for the attacking force from a distant place. If the clouds move southward, it indicates disaster for the army in the southern direction. Similarly, if the clouds move northward, eastward, or westward, the respective armies in those directions will suffer misfortune.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“軍在外，一月而再蝕，將還兵其國，戰不勝。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" states: When the army is stationed abroad, and two lunar eclipses occur within a single month, it indicates that the general should return home, and the battle will not be victorious. (Having two lunar eclipses in one month is not a common occurrence, and ancient people regarded it as an extremely ominous omen.)

石氏曰：“月生三日而蝕盡，是謂大殃，國有喪。”甘氏曰：“月生十日至十四日而蝕，天下兵起。”（如望在十四，依垣占。）石氏曰：“十五日出而蝕，國破滅亡。”（如望在十五亦然。）

The Shi school says: When the moon is newly born and is completely eclipsed on the third day, this is called "great calamity," indicating that the state will have mourning events. The Gan school says: If there is an eclipse between the tenth and fourteenth day after the moon's birth, it indicates that the whole country will have military actions. (Original book note: If the full moon falls exactly on the fourteenth day of the month, then the usual method is applied.) The Shi school says: If an eclipse occurs when the moon rises on the fifteenth day, it indicates the state will suffer defeat and destruction. (Original book note: If the full moon falls exactly on the fifteenth day, the same method is applied.)

京氏曰：“月春蝕，歲惡，將軍死，一曰有憂；夏蝕，旱，憂殺；秋蝕，羌兵起；冬蝕，其國飢，有女喪。”京房《易候》曰：“月春蝕，有憂；夏蝕，有兵起，民無有一月糧，糴貴。《荊州占》曰：“孟春月蝕，賤人當之；仲春蝕，貴人當之；季春蝕，人主當之。”

Jing Fang said: If a lunar eclipse occurs in spring, it indicates a bad harvest, the death of a general, another interpretation suggests only disaster and worry; if it occurs in summer, it indicates drought and worry about punishments and executions; if it occurs in autumn, it indicates the rise of troops from the Western Qiang; if it occurs in winter, it indicates famine in the country and the death of a woman. In his book "Yi Hou," Jing Fang said: If a lunar eclipse occurs in spring, it indicates disaster and worry; if it occurs in summer, it indicates military action, with the people having no grain for a month, and grain prices rising sharply. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month of spring, the disaster will be borne by a low-ranking person; if it occurs in the second month, it will be borne by a high-ranking person; if it occurs in the third month, it will be borne by the sovereign.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“月春蝕東方，王死之；夏蝕南方，王死之；季夏蝕中央，王死之；秋蝕西方，王死之；冬蝕北方，王死之，國以謀亡。”《荊州占》曰：“月夏蝕南方，歲飢；秋蝕西方，兵起。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" states: if a lunar eclipse occurs in spring with the moon in the east, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in summer with the moon in the south, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in late summer with the moon in the center, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in autumn with the moon in the west, the king will die because of it; if a lunar eclipse occurs in winter with the moon in the north, the king will die because of it, and the country will perish due to internal plots. (Each of the four seasons corresponds to a direction; when an eclipse occurs in the direction corresponding to the season, the calamity is most severe.) The "Jingzhou Divination" states: if a lunar eclipse occurs in summer with the moon in the south, it indicates a year of famine; if a lunar eclipse occurs in autumn with the moon in the west, it indicates military action.

《荊州占》曰：“正月蝕，有災異蟲。一曰燕受災，期在七月之後。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“正月月蝕，賤人病，糴石二千；二月月蝕，貴人病，糴石二千；三月月蝕，人主當之，糴石四千；四月月蝕，人主當之；五月月蝕，年飢；六月月蝕，赤地千里；七月月蝕，有兵；八月月蝕，兵罷；九月月蝕，年飢；一曰有戰；十月月蝕，藏谷，一曰起軍；十一月月蝕，有喪，兵圍城夏，軍殺將；十二月月蝕，不盡，是謂當其數，不占。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates a calamity involving insects; another interpretation suggests disaster in Yan territory, occurring after the seventh month. The "Dilang Xi" states: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates illness among those of low status, with grain prices at two thousand coins per stone; in the second month, illness among the powerful, with grain prices at two thousand coins per stone; in the third month, the sovereign bears the calamity, with grain prices at four thousand coins per stone; in the fourth month, the sovereign bears the calamity; in the fifth month, it indicates a year of famine; in the sixth month, it indicates vast areas of land without vegetation; in the seventh month, it indicates military affairs; in the eighth month, it indicates the cessation of military actions; in the ninth month, it indicates a year of famine, another interpretation suggests military conflict; in the tenth month, it indicates hoarding of grain, another interpretation suggests military action; in the eleventh month, it indicates mourning, enemy siege of the city, and the execution of the general within the army; if a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month but does not fully consume the moon, this is called conforming to the regular cycle, and no divination is needed.

《荊州占》曰：“正月月蝕，歲災。上旬蝕；旱，中旬蝕，蟲；下旬蝕，賤人死。”《荊州占》曰：“十二月月蝕，吳國受災，期六月；一曰有流民，盡乃以日辰占其野。”《荊州占》曰：“十二月月蝕，來年國有大事，小兵起。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the first month, it indicates that there will be calamity in that year. If it occurs in the first ten days, it signifies drought; if in the middle ten days, it signifies pestilence; if in the last ten days, it signifies the death of those of low status. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month, it indicates disaster in the region of Wu, and the fulfillment will be in June; another interpretation suggests there will be a large number of refugees, and when their food runs out, one should refer to the stem and branch of that day to determine which region it will affect. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the twelfth month, it indicates that the country will have major events in the following year, and there will be small-scale military actions.

《洛書》曰：“月以甲乙日蝕，年多魚；丙丁日蝕，年飢；一曰年穀收。戊己日蝕，無耕下田；庚辛日蝕，高田不入，凶；壬癸蝕，其歲和美。司馬遷《天官書》曰：“月蝕甲乙，四海之外，不占；丙丁，淮海，岱也，戊己、中州，河濟也；庚辛、華山以南；壬癸，恆山以北；月蝕皆將軍當之。”

The Luo Writing says: If a lunar eclipse occurs on a Jia or Yi day, it indicates that there will be an abundance of fish that year; if it occurs on a Bing or Ding day, it suggests a year of famine, though another view suggests the opposite, that the grain will be harvested; if it occurs on a Wu or Ji day, it indicates that the low-lying fields cannot be cultivated; if it occurs on a Geng or Xin day, it suggests that the high fields will yield nothing, and the harvest will be poor; if it occurs on a Ren or Gui day, it indicates that the year will have favorable weather with proper rainfall and wind. Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, in the section on the Star of Officialdom, says: If a lunar eclipse occurs on a Jia or Yi day, the disaster will be in the regions beyond the four seas and does not need to be interpreted; if it occurs on a Bing or Ding day, the disaster will be in the areas around the Huai River, the East Sea, and Mount Tai; if it occurs on a Wu or Ji day, the disaster will be in the central plains and between the Yellow River and the Ji River; if it occurs on a Geng or Xin day, the disaster will be south of Mount Hua; if it occurs on a Ren or Gui day, the disaster will be north of Mount Heng. In all cases of lunar eclipses, the disaster will be borne by the general.

《荊州占》曰：“蝕辰巳地，來年麥傷，春蟲；蝕千未地，禾稼少實，麥夏傷。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If an eclipse of the moon occurs in the regions corresponding to the directions of Chen and Si, it indicates that the wheat of the following year will be damaged, and there will be insect infestation in spring. If an eclipse occurs in the regions corresponding to the directions of Wu and Wei, it indicates that the grain will be sparse and the wheat will be damaged in summer. (This section's heading "Southern Eclipse" refers to the celestial region偏南 of Chen, Si, Wu, and Wei; the original text mistakenly writes "Qian" instead of "Wu".)

甘氏曰：“月行宿歲星而蝕，民相食，粟石千文，司農憂。”《荊州占》曰：“月暈歲星而蝕，天下大戰。”甘氏曰：“月行宿熒惑而蝕，天下破亡，有憂；期不出三年。”《荊州占》曰：“月犯熒惑，暈而蝕，天下破亡，失地，大將有憂，期不出三年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“月犯熒惑，暈而蝕，天下破亡地，大將有憂；蝕盡者，王位也；不盡者，大臣位也；近期三月，遠期三年。”

The Gan school says: When the moon reaches the same mansion as the star of years and there is an eclipse, it indicates that the people will suffer from famine so severe that they eat each other. The price of a stone of millet will reach a thousand coins, and the Grand Minister of Finance and Grain will be anxious and worried. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon is enveloped by a halo around the star of years and there is a lunar eclipse, it indicates that there will be a great war throughout the world. The Gan school says: When the moon reaches the same mansion as the planet of chaos and there is an eclipse, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and destruction, with worries and calamities, and the occurrence will not be beyond three years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the moon invades the planet of chaos, and both a halo and an eclipse occur, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and loss of territory, with worries for the great generals, and the occurrence will not be beyond three years. The "Di Lian Xi" says: When the moon invades the planet of chaos, and both a halo and an eclipse occur, it indicates that the world will suffer defeat and loss of territory, with worries for the great generals; if the moon is completely devoured, the calamity will be upon the ruler's position; if the moon is partially devoured, the calamity will be upon the ministers' positions; the calamity will occur within three months at the earliest, and within three years at the latest.

甘氏曰：“月行宿填星而蝕，其國以伐，飢亡。”《巫咸占》曰：“月當填星而蝕，其國有土功之事。”甘氏曰：“月行宿太白而蝕，強國戰，不勝亡城，大將有兩心；不出三年。”《荊州占》曰：“月宿太白，暈而蝕，其國有強兵，若戰而亡。”甘氏曰：“月行宿辰星而蝕，其國有女亂而亡國；期三年，若五年。”

The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the planet Filling Star and undergoes an eclipse, the country will suffer from warfare and famine, leading to its downfall. The Wu Xian Divination says: When the moon is directly opposite the Filling Star and an eclipse occurs, the country will have major construction projects. The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Bright Star and an eclipse occurs, a powerful country will engage in battle but fail to win, losing its cities, and the general will be disloyal; the prediction will not come true within three years. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Bright Star, and both a halo and an eclipse appear, the country will have a strong military force, but may eventually be destroyed by warfare. The Gan school says: When the moon is in the same constellation as the Morning Star and an eclipse occurs, the country will be destroyed by internal disturbances caused by women; the prediction will occur within three or five years.

石氏曰：“月蝕在角、亢，刑法之臣有當黜者。”《黃帝占》曰：“月入角而蝕，將使有憂，國門四閉，其邦凶。”陳卓曰：“月蝕於角，其君死。”甘氏曰：“月在亢中蝕，其君邦有憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“蝕在氐中，天子憂疾；一曰妃后憂疾。”石氏曰：“月在氐中蝕，大臣死，後惡之；一曰後宮惡之；王者復禮，以赦除之。”

The Shi school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Horn mansion or the Neck mansion, it indicates that officials in charge of legal punishment should be dismissed. This passage explains how lunar eclipses are interpreted based on the mansion they occur in, with each mansion corresponding to different officials and calamities. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon enters the Horn mansion and undergoes an eclipse, it indicates that generals and envoys will face troubles, the capital's four gates will be closed, and the state will suffer misfortune. Chen Zhuo says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Horn mansion, it indicates the death of the ruler of the corresponding territory. The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Neck mansion, it indicates that the ruler and the state will face troubles. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Root mansion, it indicates the Son of Heaven will be troubled by illness; another interpretation says the queen consort will be troubled by illness. The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Root mansion, it indicates the death of a high minister, the empress will face misfortune; another interpretation says the imperial harem will face misfortune; the king should renew rituals and use clemency to eliminate the calamity.

《荊州占》曰：“在氐、房蝕，主治耕之臣當有黜者。”石氏曰：“月在房而蝕，公卿大夫在憂，當有黜者。”石氏曰：“月在房蝕，王者有憂，皆亂大臣專政，必有憂病。”京氏《妖占》曰：“月蝕於房，天子有喪。”郗萌曰：“月蝕房心間，人主有兵害。”石氏曰：“月在心蝕，人主惡之，太子庶子有憂，三公有死者。”郗萌曰：“月蝕，臣伐主，內亂。”《荊州占》曰：“月在心蝕，三公諸候有當黜者。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the mansion of Di or Fang, it indicates that there will be a minister in charge of agriculture who will be dismissed. The Shi school says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the prince, marquises, and ministers will have troubles, and some will be dismissed. The Shi school also says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the king will have worries, which is due to ministers disrupting the state affairs and monopolizing power, and there will certainly be sorrow and illness. Jingfang's "Yao Divination" says: If a lunar eclipse occurs in the mansion of Fang, it indicates that the emperor will have a funeral. Xi Meng says: If a lunar eclipse occurs between the mansions of Fang and Xin, it indicates that the ruler will face military threats. The Shi school says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Xin, it indicates that the ruler will encounter misfortune, the crown prince and other sons will have troubles, and there will be death among the Three Dukes. Xi Meng says: If the moon is eclipsed, it indicates that ministers will attack the ruler and internal disorder will arise. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Xin, it indicates that there will be dismissals among the Three Dukes and the feudal lords.

甘氏曰：“月蝕尾、箕，后族有刑罪，若妾有坐者，后有憂。”石氏曰：“月在尾、箕而蝕，主御者及樂人有當黜者。”郗曰：“月蝕於箕，為風；一曰車騎發。”陳卓曰：“月宿箕而蝕，人相食。”

The Gan school says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Tail mansion or the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that someone from the imperial family's maternal relatives or the imperial harem will be punished, or some palace attendants will be implicated and punished, and the empress will have worries. (The Tail mansion is naturally associated with the imperial harem, so the calamity will affect the maternal relatives.) The Shi school says: When the moon is in the Tail mansion or the Winnowing Basket mansion and is eclipsed, it indicates that there will be dismissals among the drivers of the imperial chariots and the musicians. Xi Meng says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates that there will be wind; another interpretation suggests that the imperial cavalry will be mobilized. Chen Zhuo says: When the moon is in the Winnowing Basket mansion and is eclipsed, it indicates a great famine where people eat each other.

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in Xu Su, it indicates that the state will suffer from deaths and losses, and the whole country will change its mourning attire, and the period of calamity will last ninety days. (Xu Su is originally associated with mourning and funerals, so the calamity will be as described; the original text has an extra 'eclipse' character in the phrase 'moon eclipse in Xu Su and eclipse,' and the last sentence is missing the quotation mark.)

郗萌曰：“月蝕虛、危，民多去其室；一曰大戰。”郗萌曰：“月在虛、危而蝕，主刀，主刀劍衣履金玉之臣有當黜者。”甘氏曰：“月蝕危，不有崩喪，必有大臣薨，天下改服。”石氏曰：“月在危而蝕，刀劍之官憂；一曰月在虛、危而蝕，戒在衣履金玉之臣有黜者；一曰必有驚恐之事。”石氏曰：“月蝕危，不有病主，必有大喪，天下改服。”

The Shi school said: When the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Rooftop, it indicates that the officials who oversee weapons will be troubled; another interpretation suggests that when the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Emptiness or the mansion of Rooftop, the warning is that among the ministers who oversee clothing, gold, and jade, some will be dismissed; yet another interpretation suggests that there will certainly be something alarming. The Shi school said: When the moon is eclipsed in the mansion of Rooftop, if it is not the king falling ill, then certainly there will be a great mourning, and the whole country will change its mourning attire.

The Gan school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the constellation Yingshi, it indicates that the military clan and soldiers will scatter.

The Xuanming divination says: When the moon is eclipsed in Dongbi, it indicates that ministers will be killed and those in charge of literature and records will be arrested.

石氏曰：“月在奎而蝕，有大臣憂，削凶；期九十日。”石氏曰：“月奎度中，魯國凶，一曰邦君不安，白衣之會。”《郗萌占》曰：“月在奎而蝕，主邊兵之臣有當黜者。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕於奎，大將軍有謀。”石氏曰：“月在奎、婁而蝕，主聚斂之臣有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月蝕婁，皇后犯危，大臣受誅。”《海中占》曰：“月蝕婁，其國有王事。”郗萌曰：“月宿婁而蝕，人相食。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Stomach mansion, it indicates that kings will devour each other, large cities will lose their rulers, and generals will lose their armies; another interpretation suggests that a minister entrusted with a mission will be guilty of a crime.

The "Sea of Divination" says: When a lunar eclipse occurs in Can Xu, it indicates that there are armies outside the country, a general dying in battle, and the state corresponding to that constellation will face troubles, with the whole world changing its policies.

石氏曰：“月在井、鬼而蝕，主人主五祠之官憂。”甘氏曰：“月在東井而蝕，大臣誅，一曰大臣謀，皇后不安，五穀不登。”陳卓曰：“月在東井而蝕，其國內亂。”甘氏曰：“月在輿鬼而蝕，廢貴臣，后有憂，天下不安；期一年，遠三年。”

The Shi school says: When the moon wanes in the Well mansion and the Ghost mansion, it indicates that the officials in charge of the five types of worship will have worries.

The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Seven Stars mansion, it indicates a loss of the vital yang energy and the Wealth star and mother star, leading to sudden execution of high officials and great famine in the country; also, officials responsible for documents and legal cases will be dismissed. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Seven Stars mansion, it indicates that officials responsible for roads, bridges, gates, and defenses will be dismissed.

甘氏曰：“月在張而蝕，貴人失勢，皇后有憂，期七十日。”郗萌曰：“月在張而蝕，人相食。”甘氏曰：“月在張而蝕，水衡虞人當有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月在翼而蝕，忠臣見譖言，清正者亡，不出其年。”郗萌曰：“月在翼而蝕，主車駕之臣有黜者。”甘氏曰：“月在軫而蝕，貴臣亡；一曰后不安，期百八十日。”郗萌曰：“月在軫而蝕，車騎發。”

The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates that a person of high status will lose power, and the queen will have worries, with the event occurring within seventy days. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates people eating each other. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Zhang mansion, it indicates that the water balance general and the forest and lake officer will have someone dismissed. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Yi mansion, it indicates that loyal ministers will be slandered, and the upright and virtuous will perish, occurring within the same year. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Yi mansion, it indicates that the official in charge of carriages will be dismissed. The Gan school says: When the moon wanes in the Chen mansion, it indicates that the powerful ministers will perish; another interpretation suggests the queen will be uneasy, with the event occurring within one hundred and eighty days. Xi Meng says: When the moon wanes in the Chen mansion, it indicates the mobilization of chariots and cavalry. (The Chen mansion originally governs carriages, so the disaster will affect chariots and cavalry.)

《荊州占》曰：“月在建而蝕，后妃癙娣有當黜者。”石氏曰：“月在太微而蝕，有破國易王。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the moon is eclipsed in the star cluster Jian, it indicates that there will be a concubine or a maid-in-waiting among the royal harem who will be dismissed. (The Jian star cluster consists of six stars located north of the Nandou star cluster, representing the banners and gates of the Son of Heaven.) The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the Taimei Enclosure, it signifies the possibility of the country's destruction and the replacement of the king.

石氏曰：“月在弧、狼而蝕，主供養之官當黜者；一曰食者亡。”

The Shi school says: When the moon is eclipsed in the constellations Gu Shu and Tian Lang, the officials responsible for providing food and drink to the sovereign should be dismissed; another interpretation suggests that those who receive salaries and food will perish. (Gu Shu and Tian Lang are located south of Jing Xu, and belong to the outer officials transmitted by Shi Shen, originally responsible for guarding against thieves and defending the realm.)

《海中占》曰：“月蝕，王者以救，除咎則安；又曰：月蝕，清刑明罰，敕法。”《周禮地官司徒》曰：“救月蝕，則詔王鼓。鄭玄曰：救日月食，王者必親擊鼓。《禮記婚義》曰：“婦教不修，陰事不得，謫見於天，月為之食。是故月蝕則後素服而修六宮之職，蕩天下之陰事。”《星傳》曰：“月者、刑也，月蝕修刑。”（鄭玄曰：救月蝕，王必親擊鼓也。）

The Sea of Divination says: When an eclipse of the moon occurs, the sovereign should perform a ritual to avert calamity, thus eliminating misfortune and restoring peace. It also says that during a lunar eclipse, one should clear up legal cases, clarify rewards and punishments, and regulate laws and regulations. The Rites of Zhou, Department of the Grand Master, says: When performing the ritual to avert a lunar eclipse, one should request the sovereign to personally beat the drum. Zheng Xuan explains: When avert a solar or lunar eclipse, the sovereign must personally beat the drum. The Book of Rites, On the Meaning of Marriage, says: If the education of women's virtue is neglected, and matters of the yin aspect are out of order, heaven will send a warning sign, and the moon will be eclipsed as a result. Therefore, when a lunar eclipse occurs, the empress should wear plain mourning clothes,整顿 the duties of the six palaces, and cleanse all yin-related affairs throughout the land. The Star Transmission says: The moon governs punishment, so when a lunar eclipse occurs, one should reform the judicial system. (Original book note: Zheng Xuan says, when avert a lunar eclipse, the sovereign must personally beat the drum.)

《春秋緯》曰：“天有五帝，五星為之使。”《荊州占》曰：“五星者，五行之精也；五帝之子，天使者，行於列舍，以司無道之國王者；施恩佈德，正直清虛，則五星順度，出入應時，天下安寧，禍亂不生；人君無德，信奸佞、退忠良、遠君子、近小人，則五星逆行、變色、出入不時、揚芒角、怒變為妖星、彗、孛、茀、掃、天狗、枉矢、天槍、天掊、攙雲、格澤，山崩地振，川竭雨血，眾妖所出，天下大亂，主死國滅，不可救也，餘殃不盡，為飢旱疾疫。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings state: There are five heavenly emperors in the heavens, and the five stars are their envoys. The Jingzhou Divination says: The five stars are the refined essence of the Five Phases, the sons of the Five Emperors, and heavenly envoys who move among the twenty-eight mansions, observing and inspecting unrighteous states. If a ruler extends benevolence and virtue, is upright, tranquil, and non-interfering, the five stars will follow their regular paths, appearing and disappearing in accordance with the seasons, bringing peace to the world and preventing calamity. But if a ruler lacks virtue, listens to villains, expels the virtuous, distances the gentlemen, and draws near the petty, the five stars will moveretrograde, change their colors, appear at inappropriate times, and raise theirpointed rays, becoming wrathful and transforming into妖星, such as comets,孛星,茀星,扫星, Heavenly Dog,枉矢,天枪,天掊,搀云, and格泽. These phenomena will be followed by mountain collapses, earth tremors, river droughts, and heavenly blood rains, with various omens appearing together, leading to great chaos, the death of the ruler, and the destruction of the state, which cannot be reversed. The remaining calamities will further manifest as famine, drought, and epidemics.

甘氏曰：“五星主兵，太白為主；五星主谷，歲星為主；五星主旱，煢惑為主；五星主土，填星為主；五星主水，辰星為主。五星木土以逆行為凶；火以鉤巳為凶；金以出入不時為凶；水以不效為凶；五凶並見，其年必惡。”

The Gan school says: Among the five planets, the one governing military affairs is the White Star; the one governing grain harvests is the Jupiter; the one governing drought and flood is the Red Star; the one governing earthworks is the Filling Star; and the one governing water affairs is the Dawn Star. If they go out of their proper course, the Jupiter and the Earth Star are ominous when they moveretrograde; the Red Star is ominous when it forms a hook shape and lingers; the White Star is ominous when it appears or disappears out of season; and the Dawn Star is ominous when it fails to appear at the proper time. If all five ominous signs appear together, the harvest of that year will certainly be poor. (The original text mistakenly writes 「茕」 instead of 「荧」.)

巫咸曰：“五星者，五勝也。十二辰、二十八宿舍於刑德；日為朱鳥，月為玄武，房心為青龍，參為白虎；常每向北斗、太一，審能知此，萬事盡畢。五星、二十八舍以王時，則王者之事也；以相時，則卿相之事；以囚時，則囚徒之事也；以廢時，則萬民之事也。

Wu Xian said: The five stars represent the energies of the Five Phases in a state of mutual overcoming. The twelve earthly branches and the twenty-eight mansions can be summarized as either '刑' (punishment) or '德' (virtue). The sun belongs to the Red Bird, the moon to the Black Tortoise. The Room Mansion and Heart Mansion belong to the Azure Dragon, while the Three Stars Mansion belongs to the White Tiger. These constellations often face the Big Dipper and Taiyi. If these can be clearly discerned, all matters of divination will be complete. When the five stars and the twenty-eight mansions are in the phase of 'Wang' (dominance), they signify matters concerning the ruler; when in 'Xiang' (minister), they relate to officials and ministers; when in 'Qiu' (captivity), they pertain to prisoners; and when in 'Fei' (decline), they concern the common people. (Wang, Xiang, Qiu, and Fei represent the successive phases of the Five Phases according to the changing strength of the four seasons.)

五星各受制，而司無道之國；故審五星逆、順、變色、留守，觀其喜、怒、變色所加宿之左右、前後、遠近、疏數、害克、陰陽，及見五氣相賊王者，而救之轉禍為福，宗廟可得而保，社稷可得而有。”石氏《五星贊》曰：“五星更出司不祥，應節守道不為殃，月滿不入其事興，過時不出陰謀行；以星所守占其方、芒角變動非其常；審察五色別青黃，各以事類知其殃。”

The five planets are each subject to the constraints of the Five Phases and individually observe and scrutinize countries that are unjust. Therefore, one must examine the retrograde and direct motion of the planets, their changing colors, and their lingering in a particular star position. "Ling" refers to the planet stopping in its motion, while "shou" means the planet remains in a certain star position for several days without moving. One should observe the planet's expressions of joy and anger, whether the color change occurs on the left or right, in front or behind, the distance between them, whether they are scattered or gathered, and whether they are mutually harmful or controlling. One should also determine whether the planet's movement is along the yin or yang path, until the interactions among the Five Phases' energies are clearly understood. The king can then take corrective measures to transform misfortune into good fortune, ensuring the preservation of the ancestral temple and the continued existence of the state. The Shi school's "Five Stars Ode" states: the five planets take turns appearing and disappearing, specifically overseeing ominous events. If they align with the seasons and remain within their usual paths, they will not become calamities. If during a full moon they should appear but do not, the matter will surely arise. If they should emerge but do not after their appointed time, secret plots are being carried out. One should determine the direction corresponding to the star position where the planet is stationed, observing whether the planet's brightness and its position are abnormal. Then carefully examine the distinctions of the five colors—green, yellow, red, white, and black—and determine the specific calamity each color signifies.

石氏曰：“五星不失行，則年穀豐昌。”《黃帝占》曰：“有道之國，五星過之不失其行，則人君吉昌，萬民安寧。”又曰：“出中道，天下太平；出陰道，旱；出陰道，多雨水。”《動聲儀》曰：“五音和，則五星如度。陳卓曰：“五星出陰道，多陰謀。”

The Shi school says: If the five planets do not deviate from their regular paths, the year will have abundant and prosperous harvests. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: In a virtuous state, the five planets pass through their respective regions without departing from their normal courses, which indicates the sovereign will have good fortune and prosperity, and the people will be at peace. It also says: When the five planets move along the central path of the Yellow Path, the world will be in peace; when they move along the northern path of the Yellow Path, which is the yang path, there will be drought; when they move along the southern path of the Yellow Path, which is the yin path, there will be excessive rain. (The original text has both instances as "yin path," but the first one should be a mistake for "yang path.") The "Dongsheng Yi" says: When the five tones, Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu, are in harmony, the five planets will each follow their proper paths. Chen Zhuo says: When the five planets move along the yin path, there will be much scheming and intrigue.

石氏曰：“五星分天之中，積於東方，中國大利；積於西方，負海之國，用兵者利。”《春秋緯》曰：“五星早出為盈，盈者為客；晚出為縮，縮者為主人，禍發其沖。”《考靈耀》曰：“天失日月，遺其珠囊。”（珠五星也，遺囊者，盈縮失度也。）

The Shi school says: Divide the celestial sphere in half, and when the five planets gather in the east, it indicates great benefit for the central plains; when they gather in the west, it indicates benefit for the distant coastal regions, and the side that uses military force will gain advantage. The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When the five planets appear earlier than their usual positions, it is called "ying," and "ying" takes the position of the guest; when they appear later than their usual positions, it is called "suo," and "suo" takes the position of the host; calamity occurs in the direction opposite to it. The "Kao Lingyao" says: If the heavens lose the sun and moon, it is like losing the bag containing precious jewels. (Original book note: The jewels refer to the five planets, and losing the bag refers to the five planets being out of their proper positions.)

《黃帝占》曰：“五星不出兩河間，必有不道之臣；一曰必有道不通。”《春秋緯》曰：“君臣有謀，心憤未言，精象動於物，五星錯於官。”郗萌曰：“五星不行天門、天闕間，皆為有喪。

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the five planets do not pass between the southern and northern rivers, there will certainly be a minister who does not abide by the way of a subject. Another interpretation says this indicates a definite obstruction in the roads. The Spring Orbit says: The king and the ministers each have their own schemes, resentment and anger accumulate in their hearts but remain unspoken. This surge of spirit and energy moves all things, and the five planets then become disordered in their respective positions. Xi Meng says: If the five planets do not pass through the heavenly gate and heavenly terrace, it foretells a funeral. (The text of this section ends here; the last sentence is missing from the original, and the following text belongs to the next section.)

五星不道東西咸，皆為必有賊。五星行往天闕，不出其年，有兵。五星皆逆行，主且乘法臣且謀其主。”石氏曰：“五星行二十八舍裡七寸內者，及宿者，其國君死。五星舍二十八宿，王者誅，除其國。五星犯合宿中間星，其坐者在國中；犯南為男，犯北為女，東為少，西為老。五星逆行，去宿雖非七寸內而守之者，其國君被誅刑死，順而留下，疾病死。”

The five planets (the bright star, which is Jupiter, the red star, which is Mars, the filling star also called the stabilizing star, which is Saturn, the white star, which is Venus, and the morning star, which is Mercury) do not follow their usual paths, but instead sometimes deviate to the east and sometimes to the west. If all five planets behave this way, there will certainly be bandits emerging. If the five planets move toward the 'Celestial Gate'—a star official symbolizing the heavenly gate—there will be military conflict within the year. If all five planets move retrograde, that is, they no longer move from west to east as usual, but instead move westward, this is a sign that the ruler will overstep the law and ministers will plot against the ruler. The above is still a continuation of the previous divination. The Shi school says: if the five planets move within the twenty-eight mansions and approach within seven inches, or directly overlap a mansion star, the king of the region corresponding to that mansion will die. If the five planets stop within the twenty-eight mansions, the king will be executed and the country will be destroyed. If the five planets invade and congregate at the center of a particular mansion star, the person who will be punished will be in the capital city; if the deviation is to the south, it refers to a man; to the north, a woman; to the east, a young person; and to the west, an old person. If the five planets move retrograde and although they are not within seven inches of a mansion star, they remain stationed there without moving, the king of that region will be executed and killed. If they move normally but stop below a mansion star, the king will die of illness.

郗萌曰：“五星並出，皆逆行，不出其年，天下遣五將，期五十日。”巫咸曰：“五星受制而出，司無道之國，變色而逆行，犯度列宿及中官，留守二十日以上，皆臣殺；滿六十日以上，王者殺；則彗、-出所過之鄉，其下有亂兵。故世亂感，則天文變；下侵上，則五星逆。五星逆守列宿，若已去之還復，居之繞環成勾己，乍大乍小，乍明乍晦，是謂絕紀，其禍愈甚。”

Xi Meng said: The five planets appear at the same time and all move retrograde, and this will not take more than the same year; the whole country will send out five generals, and the appointed time will be within fifty days. Wu Xian said: The five planets are revealed under the mandate of heaven and are used to inspect the unrighteous state; they change their original colors and move retrograde, violating the degrees of the twenty-eight constellations and the stars in the Central Palace. The term 'stay' refers to remaining in one place for a long time without moving; if they stay for more than twenty days, it indicates the death of a minister; if they stay for more than sixty days, it indicates the death of the sovereign. At this time, a comet-like evil star appears (the original text is missing one character, only a symbol remains). Whenever they sweep across, there will be chaos below. Therefore, when the world becomes confused, the heavenly phenomena change accordingly; when the lower parts encroach upon the upper, the five planets appear to move retrograde. If the five planets move retrograde and stay in a certain constellation, and if they have already left but then return, lingering in that area forming a curved shape, sometimes large and sometimes small, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, this is called 'cutting off the record', meaning the heavenly order is broken, and the resulting calamity is especially severe.

《海中占》曰：“五星不當歷列宿，絕列星；有分國貴人有獄，抵列舍其國有喪；以五色占其吉凶；黃為喜，赤為兵，白為喪，蒼為憂，黑為水。”董仲舒曰：“五星失行度者，臣非其人，賢不肖並立，臣亂於下，則星錯於上，進賢，退不肖，以救亡。”

The Sea Divination says: The five planets should not pass through certain star mansions but instead go directly through them, abandoning the orderly sequence of the star mansions; in this case, the nobleman of the country corresponding to the affected mansion will be involved in legal troubles. If a planet stops directly in a particular mansion without passing through, the country will suffer calamity. Whether the outcome is auspicious or inauspicious should be judged by the five colors displayed by the five planets at that time: yellow signifies joy, red signifies military conflict, white signifies mourning, blue signifies worry, and black signifies flood. Dong Zhongshu said: The five planets deviate from their normal paths because the officials in power are not suitable people, and the virtuous and the unworthy are placed together and advance together; when the ministers cause chaos on earth, the stars err in the sky. The remedy is to promote the virtuous and dismiss the unworthy, using this method to save the country from peril.

《黃帝占》曰：“五星逆行變色，出入不時，則王者宜變俗更行，起毀宗廟，立無後，賑貧窮，恤孤寡，寬刑罰，賞有功，舉名士，禮賢者，順天道；四時發藏財物，虛府庫，薄賦斂，則日月五星，妖孽虹彗，不為禍害矣。”郗萌曰：“五星有逆行及變色，若非其常，則以聞於上；各以其事修其政。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the five planets moveretrograde, change color, and appear or disappear at times not in accordance with the usual, the ruler should change customs and reform laws and decrees. He should rebuild destroyed ancestral temples, establish heirs for families without descendants, provide relief to the poor, care for orphans and widows, lighten punishments, reward those who have merited, recommend virtuous scholars, and treat the virtuous with propriety. In all matters, he should follow the ways of Heaven. In each of the four seasons, he should distribute stored wealth, empty the treasuries, and reduce taxes. In this way, the abnormal phenomena of the sun, moon, and five planets, as well as omens such as comets, rainbows, and shooting stars, will not bring calamity. Xi Meng says: When the five planets appearretrograde or change color, if they do not conform to the usual, they should be reported to the sovereign. Then, each matter should be properly handled according to its appropriate affairs.

甘氏曰：“凡五星同色，天下偃兵，百姓安寧，歌舞以行，不見疾病，五穀大昌。”巫咸曰：“五星起怒，犯凌留守列舍，察其守犯，審其始留之日，觀其時氣有與五星相賊者，以決其事；視其色變，以知吉凶之情；又別其光芒所指，以知兵起所加之鄉；芒多而短者，謀而未成；芒少而長者，其謀已成；其氣專而上行，芒從一至四，是謂道極。

The Gan school says: Whenever the five planets appear of the same color, the world will cease from warfare, the people will be at peace, and they will sing and dance together; there will be no disease or plague, and the five grains will be abundant. Wu Xian says: When the five planets 'become angry,' it refers to the starlight becoming sharp and fierce, with its sharp edges exposed, thus offending and pressing upon a certain mansion. At this time, one should examine which mansion it is occupying or offending, determine the day when it began to stay there, and then check whether there is a mutual control between the star's Five Phases and the current climatic conditions. Based on this, one can determine the corresponding events. Observing the changes in the star's color can reveal the actual fortune or misfortune. Further, by discerning the direction of the star's light, one can know which direction the military action will be directed towards. If the star's sharp edges are numerous but short, it indicates that a conspiracy has begun but has not yet succeeded. If the sharp edges are few but long, it indicates that the conspiracy has already succeeded. If the star's energy is concentrated and rises straight up, with the sharp edges increasing from one to four, this is called 'extreme path,' which signifies a state of extreme change.

芒或指西，或指東，或指其南，或指其北；四芒己具，其下必有亡國之主，芒過四以上，未可救也。凡五星之起怒，芒角四達，其形未變，是謂誡兵；其星形變，而銳上，向下，大小狀如拔劍，是謂成形，不可救復；急堅甲勵兵，以待不祥。”《海中占》曰：“五星有三角者，兵息；有五角者，則兵行；以角多戰也。”

Somepointed rays point west, some east, some south, some north; when all four directions havepointed rays, the country beneath it will surely have a king who brings about the downfall of the state; if there are more than fourpointed rays, it is too late to save. Whenever the five planets become angry, theirpointed rays spread out in all directions but the shape of the planet remains unchanged, this is called 'warning of war', a heavenly warning to be on guard against military disaster; if the shape of the planet also changes, with the upper part sharp and the lower part hanging down, its size and shape resembling a sword drawn from its sheath, this is called 'taking form', which is irreversible, so one must quickly reinforce armor and sharpen weapons to prepare for the impending misfortune. The Sea of Divination says: when the five planets have threepointed rays, warfare will cease; when they have fivepointed rays, warfare will arise; the morepointed rays, the more intense the warfare.

甘氏曰：“五星反羽，其下之國，不可久處；反羽者，光芒上大、下小，狀如反羽也。”郗萌曰：“五星之常，行刑即乘芒，上銳下大，色如其常；及其逆行，而反芒上向，狀如反羽。”《黃帝占》曰：“無道之國，五星過之即斗，狀如故炭，爭流而去；熒惑，太白，還而不離；妖星數見，徘徊不去；如此者，兵之所攻，國家滅亡，又以有喪。”

The Gan school said: When the five planets appear in the form of "reverse feathers," the country beneath them cannot endure for long.the so-called reverse feathers refers to the light of the star being thick at the top and thin at the bottom, resembling an inverted feather. Xi Meng said: The normal state of the five planets is that when they display the image of punishment and execution, they are accompanied by a sharp and thickpointed rays, with the color remaining its original hue. But when they retrograde, thepointed rays turns upward, forming the shape of an inverted feather. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: In an unjust state, when the five planets pass through its territory, they will fight with each other. The star colors will be dark, like burnt charcoal, and they will rush forward rapidly. The Malefic of violence (Mars) and the White Star (Venus) will circle around each other without departing. Portentous stars will appear repeatedly, lingering without dispersing. Such signs indicate the place where military calamities will strike, the country is about to perish, and there will also be mourning.

《考靈耀》曰：“五政俱失五星色，明年穀不登。”石氏曰：“熒惑色黑，填星爭青，太白色赤，辰星色黃，歲星色白者，必敗；熒惑為水災，填星為土功、太白為兵災，辰星為大水。”甘氏曰：“五星日月爭光，臣有無道，與其主爭者。”巫咸曰：“吉凶憂患，各比色變言之；將有兵，金星變；將有水，水星變；明主聖王，候而司之，轉禍為福，使災不來。”

The "Kao Lingyao" says: When the affairs of the five directions are all improper, the five planets will all lose their original colors, and the harvest of grain will not be abundant the following year. The Shi school says: The planet Mars, which is originally red, turns black; the planet Saturn, which is originally yellow, turns green; the planet Venus, which is originally white, turns red; the planet Mercury, which is originally black, turns yellow; and the planet Jupiter, which is originally green, turns white. These are all defeated by the color that restrains them, and they will surely perish. A change in the color of Mars indicates water disaster; a change in the color of Saturn indicates the breaking of ground; a change in the color of Venus indicates military disaster; and a change in the color of Mercury indicates great flooding. The Gan school says: When the five planets compete with the sun and moon for brightness, it indicates that there are unrighteous ministers who are fighting against their sovereign. Wu Xian says: Whether good fortune, misfortune, or calamity occurs, they should all be explained according to the changes in the colors of the stars: if there is military action, the planet Venus will change color; if there is flooding, the planet Mercury will change color. A wise sovereign and a saintly king can observe these omens, transform misfortune into good fortune, and prevent calamity from occurring.

巫咸曰：“五星變色，進退、逆順、喜怒，皆與時氣相應。至其象也，審明金不可以怒火之鄉，木不可以怒金之鄉，水不可以怒土之鄉，火不可以怒水之鄉，土不可以怒木之鄉。逆順進退，左右前後，五星皆同法。”《天官書》曰：“五星色：白圓，為喪、旱；赤圓，則中不平，為兵；青圓，為憂，水；黑圓，為疾，多死；黃圓，則吉。五星色：赤角犯我城，黃角地之爭，白角哭泣之聲，青角有兵憂，黑角則水。”

Wu Xian said: The changing colors, forward and backward movement, retrograde and normal motion, and the anger or withdrawal of the five planets all correspond with the current climatic conditions. When interpreting these celestial phenomena, one must be clear: the planet of metal must not show anger in the territory governed by fire, the planet of wood must not show anger in the territory governed by metal, the planet of water must not show anger in the territory governed by earth, the planet of fire must not show anger in the territory governed by water, and the planet of earth must not show anger in the territory governed by wood—because these are all cases of the planets venting their power in areas that are controlling them. Whether the planets move in reverse or normal order, advance or retreat, left or right, front or back, they are all interpreted according to the same set of rules. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: the color of the five planets, if white and round, indicates mourning and drought; if red and round, indicates unrest within the country and military affairs; if green and round, indicates worries and floods; if black and round, indicates plague and many deaths; if yellow and round, it is auspicious. If the planets have apointed rays (芒角), then: redpointed rays indicates enemies attacking the city; yellowpointed rays indicates territorial disputes; whitepointed rays indicates mourning; greenpointed rays indicates military worries; blackpointed rays indicates floods.

巫咸曰：“二十八舍各有國分，水旱之災皆相應；故旱之歲，其國火星赤，水星黑。五星守二十八宿，各以其色占以其害為禍敗；歲星守木星，其色白必敗；熒惑守火星，其色黑必敗；填星守土星，其色青必敗；太白守金星，其色赤必敗；辰星守水星，其色黃必敗。”

Wu Xian said: The twenty-eight constellations each correspond to a particular territory, and water disasters and droughts correspond to them. Therefore, in years of drought, the constellation corresponding to the Malefic of violence will appear red, and the planet of water will appear black. When the five planets stop and guard the twenty-eight constellations, they should be judged according to their colors at that time, and the calamity is determined by the element that overcomes them. If the planet of wood (Jupiter) guards the constellation of wood, but appears white, white belongs to metal and metal overcomes wood, so there will be certain defeat. If the planet of fire (Mars) guards the constellation of fire, but appears black, black belongs to water and water overcomes fire, so there will be certain defeat. If the planet of earth (Saturn) guards the constellation of earth, but appears green, green belongs to wood and wood overcomes earth, so there will be certain defeat. If the planet of metal (Venus) guards the constellation of metal, but appears red, red belongs to fire and fire overcomes metal, so there will be certain defeat. If the planet of water (Mercury) guards the constellation of water, but appears yellow, yellow belongs to earth and earth overcomes water, so there will be certain defeat.

郗萌曰：“五星變色者，太史公以關於上，上乃以修其身，平政決獄，寬刑罰，薄賦斂，去關市之稅，廢關津之禁，以利宣天地之氣，則以次行。”《孝經右秘》曰：“五星冠珥，臣下遂。”

Xi Meng said: When the five planets change color, the astronomer in charge of celestial phenomena should report this event. The ruler should then use this as a basis to cultivate himself, govern with fairness, judge cases justly, lighten punishments, reduce taxes, and exempt duties at marketplaces and toll stations. He should also abolish restrictions at borders and ferry crossings. By doing these things, he will promote the smooth flow of the vital energies of heaven and earth, and the five planets will gradually return to their normal paths. The "Right Secret" section of the "Xiao Jing" says: When the five planets appear with "guan er" — light resembling ears on both sides of the stars and a luminous halo above them like a crown — this is an omen that ministers will achieve their aspirations and affairs will be successfully carried out.

甘氏曰：“五星犯列宿，若入其國，官有殃。”巫咸曰：“五星守木星，有木異；守火星，有火異；守土星，有土異；守金星，有金異，屠城；守水星，有水異。二十八宿中外官者，各有金木水火土氣，五星守之，禍敗皆不相賊害為吉凶，以官名其事。

The Gan school says: When the five planets invade the Twenty-Eight Mansions, if they enter the territory corresponding to a mansion, the officials in that area will suffer misfortune. Wu Xian says: When the five planets stop and dwell on stars belonging to the Wood element, there will be anomalies related to grass and trees; if they dwell on stars of the Fire element, there will be anomalies related to fire; if they dwell on stars of the Earth element, there will be anomalies related to earth; if they dwell on stars of the Metal element, there will be anomalies related to metal, and also the calamity of city destruction; if they dwell on stars of the Water element, there will be anomalies related to water. The Twenty-Eight Mansions, as well as the central and outer officials' stars, each carry the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. When the five planets stop and dwell on these stars, whether it brings misfortune or disaster depends on whether the two elements are in conflict. The outcome is also determined by the name of the star official.

歲星守木星，熒惑守火星，填星守土星，太白守金星，辰星守水星，是為五重守；並氣之象也；法曰並氣者，是謂重施過世，則民多疾疫，五穀不成，災害並生；一曰天下旱，萬物不成。歲星守火，熒惑守土，填星守金，太白守水，辰星守木，是謂五星守其子；陽不施之象。陽氣不足，故多水災，五穀不成。

The planet Jupiter belongs to wood and guards the star of wood, the planet Mars belongs to fire and guards the star of fire, the planet Saturn belongs to earth and guards the star of earth, the planet Venus belongs to metal and guards the star of metal, and the planet Mercury belongs to water and guards the star of water. This is called "fivefold guarding," which represents the phenomenon of the same kind of energy overlapping. The method of divination states: when the same kind of energy is combined, it means the same kind of energy is repeated and exceeds the normal measure, leading to many people contracting epidemics, crops failing, and various calamities occurring together. Another interpretation suggests a great drought over the whole country, with all things unable to mature. When Jupiter guards the star of fire, Mars guards the star of earth, Saturn guards the star of metal, Venus guards the star of water, and Mercury guards the star of wood, this is when each star guards the direction it is born from, called "five stars guarding their sons," which represents the phenomenon of yang energy being unable to transform. Since yang energy is insufficient, there are frequent floods and crops fail to mature.

歲星守土，熒惑守金，填星守水，太白守木，辰星守火，是謂守所勝，下之象也。法曰賦斂眾多，徭役繁數，下民屈竭，莫之能供，故下皆惡其上；則強凌弱，眾暴寡，故盜賊眾多，兵革並起；一曰人民相惡。”歲星守金，熒惑守水，填星守木，太白守火，辰星過土，是謂守所不勝，上之象也。法曰民臣隆盛，侵凌其上，君弱臣強，故奸臣賊子，謀殺其主。

The planet of Wood (Jupiter) is stationed over the planet of Earth, the planet of Fire (Mars) is stationed over the planet of Metal, the planet of Earth (Saturn) is stationed over the planet of Water, the planet of Metal (Venus) is stationed over the planet of Wood, and the planet of Water (Mercury) is stationed over the planet of Fire. This is when each planet is stationed over the planet it conquers, known as "guarding the conquered," which symbolizes the superior overpowering the inferior. The divination method states: taxes are levied excessively, labor services are frequent and unending, the people's resources are exhausted, and they can no longer support the demands. Therefore, the people below resent those above. Hence, the strong oppress the weak, and the many oppress the few, leading to the rise of bandits and the outbreak of warfare; another interpretation is that people hate each other. When the planet of Wood is stationed over the planet of Metal, the planet of Fire is stationed over the planet of Water, the planet of Earth is stationed over the planet of Wood, the planet of Metal is stationed over the planet of Fire, and the planet of Water passes over the planet of Earth, this is when each planet is stationed over the planet that conquers it, known as "guarding the unconquered," which symbolizes the inferior rising against the superior. The divination method states: the people and ministers are powerful, encroaching upon their sovereign. The sovereign is weak while the ministers are strong, so villains and traitors plot to kill their lord.

歲星守水，熒惑守木，填星守火，太白守土，辰星守金，是謂五星守其母，陰氣不成之象。法曰氣不足，故旱；多火災，五穀不成；一曰萬物不成。”

The planet of Wood (Jupiter) guards the star of Water, the planet of Fire (Mars) guards the star of Wood, the planet of Earth (Saturn) guards the star of Fire, the planet of Metal (Venus) guards the star of Earth, and the planet of Water (Mercury) guards the star of Metal. This is called "the five planets guarding their mothers," which represents an image of Yin energy failing to produce things. The divination method states: because Yin energy is insufficient, there is drought; frequent fires, and poor harvests of grain; another interpretation says that all things cannot mature.

《易坤靈圖》曰：“王者有至德之萌，則五星若連珠。”（鄭玄曰：“謂聚一舍，以德得天下之象也。”）郗萌曰：“五星俱見，兵布野，期不出三年。”《春秋緯》曰：“帝有過失，既已命絕於天，則五星聚攝提，反衡亂不禁。五星聚，天子窮。”《荊州占》曰：“五星並聚，篡弒成。”《含神霧》曰：“五緯合，王更紀。”

The *Yi Kun Ling Tu* says: When a ruler possesses an exceptionally high virtue, the five planets will appear in a line like a string of pearls. The original commentary cites Zheng Xuan, who explains that "a string of pearls" refers to the five planets gathering in the same celestial mansion, which is a sign of ruling the world through virtue. Xi Meng says: When the five planets appear together, armies will be spread across the fields, and the fulfillment of this omen will not take more than three years. The *Chun Qiu Wei* says: If the Son of Heaven has misconduct, the heavenly mandate has been cut off, and the five planets will gather near the star of the celestial pole, causing the heavenly order to become chaotic and uncontrollable. When the five planets gather, the Son of Heaven will reach a dead end. The *Jingzhou Zhan* says: When the five planets gather together, the act of usurping the throne and killing the sovereign will succeed. The *Han Shen Wu* says: When the five planets (anciently called "the five threads," i.e., the planet of years, the red star, the filling star, the white star, and the morning star) converge, the emperor will change the era and start a new calendar.

《海中占》曰：“五星若合，是謂易行，有德受慶，改立天子，乃奄有四方，子孫藩昌；無德受罰，離其國家，減其宗廟，百姓離去滿四方。五星皆大，其事亦大；五星皆小，其事亦小。”（周將代殷，五星聚於房；齊桓將霸，五星聚於箕；漢高祖入秦，五星聚東井，齊則永終。侯伯本無更紀之事，是五星之聚，有不易行者矣。）

The "Sea of Divination" says: If the five planets congregate in one place, this is called "easy movement," meaning the heavenly path has changed its course. Those with virtue thus receive blessings and are established as emperor, thereby ruling all directions, with their descendants flourishing; those without virtue suffer punishment, leaving their country, their ancestral temples being reduced, and the people scattering and wandering throughout the land. When all five planets appear large, the corresponding events are great; when they appear small, the corresponding events are small. The original commentary notes: When the Zhou dynasty was about to replace the Shang dynasty, the five planets gathered in the Room mansion; when Duke Huan of Qi was about to become hegemon, the five planets gathered in the Winnowing Basket mansion; when Emperor Gaozu of Han entered the pass to destroy the Qin dynasty, the five planets gathered in the Well mansion, and thus the destiny of the state of Qi came to an end. Originally, feudal lords and hegemon leaders did not have the matter of changing dynasties, indicating that the gathering of the five planets does not always correspond to "easy movement."

《洛書雒罪級》曰：“五星一合，不言聖起合有謨。”《考異郵》曰：“五星聚於一宿，天下兵起。”《荊州占》曰：“五星合於一舍，其國主應縮，有德者昌，無德者亡，受其凶殃。五星畢聚於一舍，填星在其中，天下興兵。”《詩緯》曰：“五緯聚房，為義者受福，行惡者亡。”（《帝王世紀》曰：文王在豐，九州諸候咸至，五星聚於房。）

The Luo Writing says: When the five planets congregate, although it does not explicitly mention the rise of a sage, it already contains heaven's plan. The Kao Yi You says: When the five planets gather in the same mansion, the world will have military action. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the five planets congregate in the same mansion, the destiny of the state corresponding to that mansion will decline and retreat; the virtuous will flourish, while the wicked will perish, suffering the calamity brought by this gathering. When all five planets gather in one mansion and the planet of earth (Saturn) is in the center, the world will have military conflict. The Shi Wei says: When the five planets gather in the mansion of Fang, the righteous will receive blessings, while the wicked will perish. The original commentary cites the "Imperial Dynasty Chronicle" which says: When King Wen of Zhou was in Feng City, all the feudal lords of the nine provinces came to pay homage, at that time the five planets gathered in the mansion of Fang.

《海中占》曰：“五星合亢，為五穀頻不成。”郗萌曰：“五星聚於虛，天下之君，必有盟者；二星，則二國君；五星，則五國君；皆相見。”《考靈曜》曰：“帝起受終，五緯合軫。”《河圖》曰：“歲星帥五緯聚房，青帝起。”石氏曰：“歲星所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以義致天下。”

The Sea in the Middle of the Sea divination text says: When the five planets congregate in the Neck mansion, it indicates that grain will not be harvested for several years. Xi Meng says: When the five planets gather in the Emptiness mansion, there will certainly be alliances among the kings of the world; if two planets gather, two kings will meet; if five planets gather, five kings will meet, and they will all meet each other. The Examination of the Luminous Stars says: When a king rises and accepts the mandate from the previous dynasty, the five planets gather in the Chariot mansion. The Yellow River Chart says: When the planet Jupiter leads the other four planets to gather in the Room mansion, it indicates the rise of the Eastern Emperor's era. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter is in a mansion, the other stars will follow and gather in the same mansion, and the country corresponding to that mansion can gain the world through benevolence and righteousness.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與火土金水五合同舍，相去三尺以外，七尺以內，相守十日以上，至四十日；天下兩主爭國，大帝易跡，近期三年，遠七年。”《運斗樞》曰：“歲星帥五精聚於東方七宿，蒼帝以仁良溫讓起，皆以所舍占國。”《春秋緯》曰：“五精入牛，從歲星聚；用兵遏亂，以義得天下。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of Jupiter (the planet of wood) joins with the stars of fire, earth, metal, and water, forming a gathering of the five stars, and they are within a distance of three to seven chi from each other, facing each other and remaining in opposition for more than ten days, up to forty days, then the world will see two kings contending for power, and the path of the great emperor will change. The near occurrence will be within three years, and the distant one within seven years. The *Yun Dou Shu* says: When the star of Jupiter leads the essence of the five stars to gather in the seven constellations of Dongfang Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji in the eastern sky, it signifies the rise of the Eastern Blue Emperor's era, brought about by benevolence, kindness, mildness, and humility. The specific country it affects is determined by the division of the constellations where the stars gather. The *Chunqiu Wei* says: When the essence of the five stars enters the Ox Constellation, following the star of Jupiter, it indicates the use of military force to suppress chaos and the attainment of the world through righteousness.

（班固《天文志》曰：漢高元年，有五星聚於東井，歷推之，從歲星也。此高皇帝受命之符，故客謂張耳曰：東井秦地，漢王入秦，五星從歲星聚，當以義取天下。秦王子嬰降於軹道，漢王以屬吏，曰寶器、婦女，任所取，閉宮封門，還軍將次於灞上，以候諸侯，與人民約法三章，人無不歸心者，可謂能行義矣。李奇注曰：歲星得其正度，其四星隨此常正行，故曰從也。孟康注曰：歲星先至，先至為主也。洪範《天文星辰變占》曰：客有齊人甘文卿者，善天文，後五年，高帝遂定天下。）

The original book's marginal notes cite Ban Gu's "Book of Han, Records of Astronomy" which says: In the first year of Emperor Gaozu of Han, five planets gathered in the Well mansion. Using the calendar to calculate, it was found that they followed the planet of Jupiter. This was a sign of the heavenly mandate bestowed upon the high emperor. Therefore, a guest of his said to Zhang Er: The Well mansion is the celestial region corresponding to the state of Qin. When the Han King entered the pass and destroyed Qin, the five planets gathered there following Jupiter, so he should have gained the empire by virtue. Prince Ziying of Qin surrendered at the roadside of Zhidian, and the Han King handed him over to officials for custody, declaring that treasures and women could be taken by all, while he himself ordered the closing of the palace gates, sealing the treasuries, and withdrawing his troops to Bashi, waiting for the other feudal lords. He also made a simple agreement of three laws with the people, and all were loyal to him. This can be said to be acting with righteousness. Li Qi noted: The planet of Jupiter moved in accordance with the normal course, and the other four stars followed it in order, so it was called "from." Meng Kang noted: The planet of Jupiter arrived first, and the first one was the main star. It also cites the "Hongan Fan Astronomical Stars and Constellations Divination" which says: At that time, a guest from Qi named Gan Wenqing was skilled in astronomy. Five years later, Emperor Gaozu indeed pacified the empire.

石氏曰：“熒惑所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以禮致天下。”《運斗樞》曰：“熒惑帥五精聚於南方七宿，赤帝以寬明多智略起。”黃帝曰：“填星與五星俱聚一舍，而填星亡焉，所舍國亡；填星在焉，大如狼星而黃，天下之兵雖合，其國不亡。”《運斗樞》曰：“填星帥五精聚於中央，黃帝以重厚賢聖起。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Mars (the Malefic of violence) is located in a particular star mansion, all other stars will follow and gather together in the same mansion. The country corresponding to that mansion can gain the Mandate of Heaven through ritual propriety. The "Yun Dou Shu" says: When the planet Mars leads the essence of the five planets to gather in the seven mansions of the Southern Dipper, the Southern Flame Emperor's era will rise through benevolence, wisdom, and clarity. The Yellow Emperor says: When the planet Saturn (the Fill star) gathers with other stars in one mansion, if Saturn then disappears, the country corresponding to that mansion will perish; if Saturn remains, appearing as large as the star Wolf and shining yellow, then even though armies from all over the world converge, that country will not perish. The "Yun Dou Shu" says: When the planet Saturn leads the essence of the five planets to gather in the central mansion, the Yellow Emperor's era will rise through sincerity, gravity, and virtue.

石氏曰：“填星所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以兵致天下；太白所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以重德致天下；太白所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以兵致天下。”《天官書》曰：“太白與五星相犯，大戰；出其南，南國敗；北其北，北國敗；行疾，武；不行，文。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth (Saturn) is in a certain mansion, and all other stars gather together in the same mansion, the country corresponding to that mansion can conquer the world by military strength; when the planet of metal (Jupiter) is in a certain mansion, and all other stars gather together in the same mansion, the country corresponding to that mansion can conquer the world by virtue. When the planet of metal (Jupiter) is in a certain mansion, and all other stars gather together in the same mansion, the country corresponding to that mansion can conquer the world by military strength. These two statements starting with the planet of metal (Jupiter) differ in meaning, and the original text repeats them, so they are both preserved. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When the planet of metal (Jupiter) and other stars conflict with each other, there will be a great battle; if the planet of metal (Jupiter) appears to the south of the opposing side, the southern country will be defeated; if it appears to the north of the opposing side, the northern country will be defeated; if it moves quickly, it indicates the use of military force; if it stops, it indicates the use of civil administration.

《運斗樞》曰：“太白帥五精聚於西方七宿，白帝以勇武誠信，多節義起。”《河圖》曰：“太白帥五緯聚參，白帝起。辰精帥五精聚於北方七宿，黑帝以清平、靜潔、通明起。”《春秋緯》曰：“五星從辰星，聚北方七宿，黑帝起，以宿占國。”《河圖》曰：“辰星帥五緯聚營室，黑帝起。”石氏曰：“辰星所在，五星皆從而聚於一舍，其下之國，可以法致天下。”

The *Yun Dou Shu* says: The planet Tai Bai (Venus) leads the essence of the five stars to gather in the seven constellations of the west, namely Qiu, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Can, signifying the rise of the White Emperor's era through bravery, integrity, and a strong sense of righteousness. The *He Tu* says: Tai Bai leads the other four stars to gather in the constellation Can, signifying the rise of the White Emperor's era. The planet Chen Xing (Saturn) leads the essence of the five stars to gather in the seven constellations of the north, namely Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi, signifying the rise of the Black Emperor's era through clarity, fairness, tranquility, purity, and insight. The *Chun Qiu Wei* says: the other stars follow Chen Xing to gather in the seven constellations of the north, signifying the rise of the Black Emperor's era; the country corresponding to this should be determined by the division of the constellations. The *He Tu* says: Chen Xing leads the other four stars to gather in the constellation Shi Su, signifying the rise of the Black Emperor's era. The Shi school says: when Chen Xing is in a constellation, the other stars all follow to gather in the same mansion, the country corresponding to that mansion can gain the world through legal systems.

《考異郵》曰：“四表戒，五星薄，天下分爭，甲兵作。”郗萌曰：“五星一相牴觸，軍半破；再相牴觸，軍大破。五精星相薄，天下大戰，相去二三尺，破軍殺將，流血滂滂，天下饑荒。”《春秋緯》曰：“五星錯斗，臣挾兵，上下相持。”《合誠圖》曰：“五星斗，天子去；一曰國昏亂，憂在公侯。”

The "Kao Yi You" says: When alarms arise at the four directions, the five planets approach each other closely, "thin" each other, the world will split into conflicts, and armor and weapons will be raised. Xi Meng says: When the five planets clash once, half the army will be lost; when they clash again, the army will suffer a great defeat. When the spirits of the five planets approach each other closely, there will be a great war in the world; if they are only two or three feet apart, the army will be destroyed, generals will be killed, blood will flow widely, and the world will face famine. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: When the five planets cross each other in conflict, it is an omen of ministers seizing military power and the upper and lower ranks being at a deadlock. The "He Cheng Tu" says: When the five planets clash, the Son of Heaven will have to leave his position and flee; another view is that the state affairs will be in chaos, and calamity will fall upon the marquises.

甘氏曰：“歲星、熒惑、填、太白四星與辰星斗，皆為戰；兵不在外；皆為在內。”郗萌曰：“五星斗，相貫牴觸，光耀相及，有兵大戰，覆軍殺將。”《荊州占》曰：“五星合斗，人走馬馳，九州鼎沸，棄其妻兒，五郡無主，夷狄為君；五星相與合斗，及列宿乘凌牴觸，磨靡及入貫，刺犯守勾巳環繞，所在之國，皆為兵喪，滅國之殃。”石氏曰：“五星主司人君諸侯大臣之過，五星合斗者，皆為謀反大臣當有誅者。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Mercury clash with the star of the hour, it indicates warfare; if the armies are not outside the borders, then the calamity will occur within the country. Xi Meng says: When the five planets clash, they penetrate and collide with each other, their light touching one another, which will result in a great battle with total annihilation of troops and the death of the commander. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the five planets congregate and clash, people flee and horses gallop, the nine provinces are like water boiling in a cauldron, people abandon their wives and children to flee, five commanderies lose their rulers, and barbarians become kings. When the five planets congregate and clash, or when they overpower and collide with the twenty-eight constellations, or when they rub against each other and penetrate through, or when they pierce and remain, or when they circle around in a curved path without moving away, all these celestial phenomena in the regions they affect will bring about military disasters, chaos, and the calamity of a nation's destruction. The Shi school says: The five planets are responsible for observing the faults of the sovereign, dukes, and ministers. When the five planets congregate and clash, it indicates that there will be a minister plotting rebellion who should be executed.

《漢天文志》曰：“四星若合，是為大湯。（晉灼曰，湯猶盪滌也。）其君兵喪並起，君子憂，小人流。”（按《宋書》曰：始興九年，歲填災惑、太白聚東井，後歷五年至晉義熙十三年，相國劉裕入關，擒姚泓於長安，而秦亡。）《荊州占》曰：“四星若合於一舍，其國當王有德者繁昌，保有宗廟，無德者喪。”

The Book of Han, Records of Astronomy, says: If four stars congregate, this is called 'Great Tang'. The commentary in the original text cites Jin Zhuo's explanation that 'Tang' means 'to wash away'. This portends that the ruler of the country will face military calamity and mourning at the same time, the virtuous officials in power will be distressed, and the common people will flee. The commentary in the original text says: According to the Book of Song, in the ninth year of Shixing, the planet Jupiter, the planet Venus, the planet Mars, and the planet Venus (the original text says 'zaihuo') gathered in the Well Mansion; after five years, in the thirteenth year of Yixi during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Chancellor Liu Yu led his troops into the pass and captured Yao Hong in Chang'an, leading to the fall of the Later Qin. The Jiangzhou Divination says: If four stars congregate in the same mansion, then the country corresponding to that mansion should produce a king: a virtuous one will bring prosperity and preserve the ancestral temple and state; an unvirtuous one will result in downfall.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉孝懷帝永嘉六年七月，熒惑、歲星、填星、太白聚牛女之間，徘徊進退，是後兩郡傾覆，而元帝中興、揚土是其應也。安帝義熙三年二月癸亥、熒惑、填星、太白、辰星聚於奎婁，從填星也。奎婁魯分，是時慕容超僭號於齊，侵掠徐兗，連歲寇掠，至於淮泗，姚興譙縱，僭號秦蜀，盧循及魏，南北交侵。五年，高祖北殄鮮卑，九年又聚東井，秦分，十三年，高宗定關中，縱修群凶之徒，皆已剪滅，於是天人歸望，建國。舊條元熙二年受終納禪，皆其徵也。漢平帝元始四年星聚柳、張，各五日，柳、張，三河分，後有王莽赤眉之亂，而光武興，復於洛。晉懷帝永嘉六年四星聚牛、女，後劉聰石勒之亂，而遠帝興復楊土。漢獻帝初平元年，四星聚心，聚箕尾心，豫州分，後有董卓、李霍暴亂，黃中赤眉之憂，而魏武迎帝都，許遂以兗豫定京建安，二十二年，四星又聚；二十五年，而魏文受禪，此為四星二聚而易行矣。檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武太元十九年十月癸酉，太白、填星、熒惑、辰星合於氐，二十一年九月庚申，帝崩。）

The original commentary says: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of the Later Han," in the sixth year of Emperor Hui of the Jin dynasty's Yongjia period, the planet Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus gathered between the Ox mansion and the Girl mansion, moving back and forth, advancing and retreating at times; afterwards, two commanderies were lost, and Emperor Sun of the Jin dynasty revived the dynasty and established the state in the area of Yangzhou, which was the fulfillment of this omen. In the second month of the second year of Yixi of Emperor An of the Jin dynasty, on the day of Guihai, the planet Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter gathered in the Legs mansion and the Bond mansion, following Saturn. The Legs and Bond mansions are the territories corresponding to the state of Lu. At that time, Murong Chao falsely claimed the imperial title in the state of Qi, invading and plundering the commanderies of Xu and Yan, and continuously raiding the borders, reaching as far as the Huai River and the Si River regions; Yao Xing and Qiao Zong separately falsely claimed the imperial title in the state of Qin and the state of Shu; Lu Xun and Northern Wei also invaded each other from north and south. In the fifth year of Yixi, the High Ancestor of the Song dynasty, Liu Yu, defeated the Xianbei people in the north; in the ninth year, the four stars again gathered in the Well mansion, which was the territory corresponding to the state of Qin; in the thirteenth year, the state of Guanzhong was pacified, and all the bandits causing chaos were eliminated, so the will of heaven and the people were united, allowing the establishment of the state. The old entries that mention the acceptance of the mandate in the second year of Yuanxi are all omens of these celestial phenomena. In the fourth year of Yuanshi of Emperor Ping of the Han dynasty, the stars gathered in the Willow mansion and the Extended Net mansion, each staying for five days; the Willow and Extended Net mansions are the territories corresponding to the three rivers. Afterwards, there was the usurpation by Wang Mang and the uprising of the Red Eyebrows, and later, Emperor Guangwu rose to power and restored the Han dynasty in Luoyang. In the sixth year of Yongjia of Emperor Hui of the Jin dynasty, the four stars gathered in the Ox and Girl mansions, and afterwards there was the chaos caused by Liu Cong and Shi Le, while Emperor Yuan of the Jin dynasty revived the Jin dynasty in the area of Yangzhou. In the first year of Chiping of Emperor Xian of the Han dynasty, the four stars gathered in the Heart mansion, and again in Ji and Wei, the Heart mansion, which was the territory corresponding to the state of Yu; afterwards, there was the chaos caused by Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, as well as the uprisings of the Yellow Turbans and the Red Eyebrows, and later, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian and established the capital at Xuchang, thus using the commanderies of Yan and Yu as the foundation to stabilize the capital and start the era of Jian'an. In the twenty-second year of Jian'an, the four stars gathered again; in the twenty-fifth year, Wei Wen帝 Cao Pi accepted the mandate and replaced the Han dynasty — this is an example of the four stars gathering twice and fulfilling the omen of "the change of the dynasty as described in the Book of Changes." It also cites Tan Daoluan's "Jinyang Spring" which says: In the nineteenth year of Taoyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin dynasty, on the day of Guiyou, the planet Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter gathered in the Root mansion; in the twenty-first year of Taoyuan, on the day of Gengshen, Emperor Xiaowu died.

《荊州占》曰：“四星合斗，閉其關梁，女子運倉，天下半亡。”《文耀鉤》曰：“歲星與三星斗，九州謀王。”郗萌曰：“歲星、熒惑，陽也；太白、辰星，陰也；陽主中邦，陰主外邦，陽與陰合，中外邦相連以兵；陽與陽合，兵謀在國；陰與陽合，兵謀在外邦。熒惑在未申間，太白亦出酉；其出也，必有令。四星俱出，令大；二星俱出，令小；不然者，必有賞賜之事。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When four stars converge and clash, all passageways and bridges should be closed, women are driven to transport grain to the granary, and the whole world will lose more than half its people. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When the year star clashes with the other three stars, there will be someone plotting to become king within the nine provinces. Xi Meng says: The year star and the Mars star belong to the yang category, while the bright star and the morning star belong to the yin category. Yang stars represent the Central Plains states, and yin stars represent foreign lands. When yang stars converge with yin stars, warfare will break out between the Central Plains and foreign lands; when yang stars converge with yang stars, military strategies will originate within the country; when yin stars converge with yang stars, military strategies will originate in foreign lands. When the Mars star reaches between the position of Wei and Shen, and the bright star appears from the position of You, this indicates that a decree will definitely be issued. When four stars appear together, the decree will be of great importance; when two stars appear together, the decree will be of lesser importance; if no decree is issued, there will certainly be an event of reward or grant.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與太白、熒惑、辰星同合，相去三尺以外，留守七日以上，至二十日，天下兵起，國主絕嗣。天下三主鼎足，俱用兵，必有滅國，親戚內，自相賊；九州謀殺作兵，社稷危亡，宗廟毀滅，期百八十日，殘戮九年，乃更始。其守七寸以內，芒角七日以上，至四十日，天下滅亡。人民殄盡，行將易紀，宮殿飛流，期一年，災十年。”（火起為飛，水湧為流。）石氏曰：“熒惑與歲星、填星、太白會成勾巳，光不相及，主以攻者不救亂，三王九僑，二十一名，臣爭為主，更相殘賊。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of years, the bright star, the red star, and the star of the hour all congregate together, and they are more than three chi apart, remaining stationary for more than seven days up to twenty days, the whole world will see military campaigns, and the sovereign will lose his descendants. There will be three kings standing in opposition, all launching military campaigns, inevitably leading to the fall of states, mutual destruction among relatives; within the nine provinces, frequent assassinations and warfare will occur, the state and ancestral temples will be in peril and destroyed. This will happen within a period of one hundred and eighty days, and the calamity will last for nine years before a new beginning occurs. If they remain within seven inches of each other and produce apointed rays (芒角 is a term for a bright spike or horn-like projection), lasting for more than seven days up to forty days, the whole world will be destroyed, the people will perish, and a change of dynasty will occur. Palaces may be set on fire or flooded by water. This will happen within a year, and the disaster will last for ten years. The original commentary says: A fire outbreak is called 'flying', and a water surge is called 'flowing'. The Shi school says: When the red star, the star of years, the star of the hour, and the bright star congregate, forming a curved shape, and their light does not reach each other, the side that initiates the attack will not be able to quell the chaos. The three kings, nine heroes, and twenty-one names will emerge, ministers will vie for the throne, and they will destroy each other.

《海中占》曰：“三星合其國，外有兵喪，人民數改立侯王。”（按班固《天文志》曰：孝文後六年四月乙巳，水、木、火三合於東井，是歲誅反者周殷長安市。其七年六月，文帝崩。孝景元年七月乙丑，金、木、水三合於張，其二年三月立皇子為王準陽、汝南、河間、臨江、長江、廣川也。）

The book "Sea Divination" says: When three stars converge in a certain region, there will be military calamities and funerals outside the country, and the people frequently change their kings. The original commentary says: According to Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records," in the sixth year of Emperor Wen's Houxuan period, on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, the stars Jupiter, Venus, and Mars converged in the Well Mansion; that year, in Chang'an market, Zhou Yin, who plotted rebellion, was executed. In the sixth month of the seventh year of Houxuan period, Emperor Wen died. In the first year of Emperor Jing's reign, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the stars Jupiter, Venus, and Mars converged in the Extended Net Mansion; in the second year of Emperor Jing's reign, in the third lunar month, the皇子 were enfeoffed as kings, and territories were divided in Huayang, Ruzhong, Hejian, Lingjiang, Changsha, and Guangchuan.

班固《天文志》曰：“三星若合，是謂驚位，是謂絕行。（宋均曰：有兵喪故曰驚位，改立故曰絕行。）外有兵與喪，立王。”（按成帝河平二年十月下旬，填星在東井、軒轅南端大星尺餘，歲星在其西北尺所，熒惑在其西北二尺所，皆從西方來；填星貫輿鬼，先到；歲星次，熒惑亦貫輿鬼。十一月上旬，歲星、熒惑西去，填星皆西北逆行，其年十一月丁巳夜，郎王歆大逆不道，牂牁太守立捕殺歆。三年九月甲戌，東郡莊平男子俠丹闢，兄弟五人，群黨為盜，攻燔宮寺，綺縣長吏，盜取印綬，自稱將軍。三月辛卯，左將軍千秋卒，右將軍史丹為左將軍。四年四月戊申，梁王賀薨。）

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: If three stars are in conjunction, this is called "Jingwei" (startling position), also called "Juehang" (cutting path). The commentary in the original text cites Song Jun, who says: Because there is military disaster and mourning, it is called "Jingwei"; because there is a change in the ruler, it is called "Juehang." This indicates military affairs and mourning outside the state, and the establishment of a new king. The commentary says: According to the events of the second year of He Ping in Emperor Cheng of Han, in the last ten days of the tenth lunar month, the planet Tianming was in the Well mansion, more than a foot south of the main star of the Xuanyan constellation; the planet Suiming was one foot to the northwest of Tianming, and the planet Honghuo was two feet to the northwest of Tianming, all moving from the west. Tianming passed through the Ghost mansion, arriving first, followed by Suiming, then Honghuo. In the first ten days of the eleventh lunar month, Suiming and Honghuo moved westward, and Tianming also moved westward and逆行. On the night of the fourth lunar month, the day Dingsi, a court official named Wang Xin committed treason, and the governor of Zhangge immediately arrested and killed Wang Xin. On the day Jiaxu of the ninth lunar month in the third year of He Ping, five brothers named Xie Dan and others from Zhongping County, Dongju, gathered bandits to commit robbery, attacked and burned government offices, harmed county officials (the character "qi" at the bottom of the original text is suspected to be a mistake), stole official seals and sashes, and claimed to be generals. On the day Xinmao of the third lunar month in the fourth year of He Ping, the Left General Qianqiu died, and the Right General Shi Dan was transferred to the position of Left General. On the day Wushen of the fourth lunar month in the fourth year of He Ping, the Prince of Liang, Liu He, died.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“考獻建安十八年秋，歲星、填星、熒惑俱入太微，逆行，皆守帝座百餘日，占曰：三星入太微，人主改政。二十五年正月，魏文帝受禪。”《荊州占》曰：“三星合於一舍，其國可復修德者強，無德者受殃，三星合斗，天下動。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑、填星、辰星近角合斗，女子為天下害，大臣殺主。”

In the Shuibu's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records," it is said that in the eighteenth year of the Jian'an era of Emperor Xian of Han, the planet Jupiter, the planet Saturn, and the planet Mars all entered the Taimei Enclosure, and were all moving in retrograde motion, remaining stationed near the star of the Imperial Seat for over a hundred days. The divination text says: When the three stars enter Taimei, the sovereign should change the system. In the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Wei Wen帝 Cao Pi accepted the mandate of heaven. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the three stars congregate in the same dwelling, the country of that region still has a chance to change: those who cultivate virtue will become strong, while those without virtue will suffer calamity; when the three stars clash, the world will be in turmoil. The "Hai Zhong Divination" says: When Mars, Saturn, and the planet Jupiter congregate and clash near the Horn Mansion, it indicates that a woman will become a danger to the world, and ministers will kill the sovereign.

郗萌曰：“歲星與熒惑、太白斗，殺大將；近環之，貫之，殺邊將；又歲與熒惑、填星相合，與參會一合，君子過也。有亂相為水，為旱、為飢、火土功。熒惑與歲星若與辰星舍尾，皆為用事者當之，天下開牢、大赦。太白與木星、填星合其國，謀兵起，不戰。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years (Jupiter) confronts the red star (Mars) and the white star (Saturn), it indicates that the general will be killed. If they are close and encircle or pierce through each other, it signifies that the border generals will be killed. Also, when the star of years (Jupiter) meets the red star (Mars) and the filling star (Saturn), and they gather together with the Three Stars mansion, it indicates that the virtuous officials in power have faults. There will be disorder in the country, and the prime minister will bear the blame, or it may indicate water disaster, or drought, or famine, or fire incidents and construction projects involving earth and wood. When the red star (Mars) and the star of years (Jupiter) or the filling star (Saturn) share the same mansion in the Tail mansion, it indicates that the person in power will bear the calamity, and the country will release prisoners and issue a general pardon. When the white star (Saturn) meets the star of years (Jupiter) and the filling star (Saturn) in the territory of a certain country, there will be plots for military action, but actual fighting will not occur.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與太白、填星同舍，相去三尺以外，國有女喪，有白衣會，用兵不戰；相去七寸以內，名曰交芒；將軍與皇后為奸，謀殺其君；相守七日以至四十日，必成刑，期百八十日，國主應以善令，則無咎。歲星與熒惑、填星同間，相去三尺以外，各留七日以上至二十日，天下兵起，五穀大貴，人民相食，國分土地；其相去七寸以內，名曰交芒；天下大叛，弒君父，妻去其夫，期百八十日。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Star of Years, the Bright Star, and the Filling Star are in the same place, and are more than three feet apart, it indicates that there will be the death of a woman in the country, with a mourning ceremony in white clothes, although there is military movement, there will be no actual battle; if they are within seven inches of each other, this is called "intersecting芒", meaning the芒 of the two stars meet, indicating that the general and the empress have private relations and plot to kill their sovereign; if the two stars remain together for seven to forty days, there will certainly be punishment, and the time of the disaster will be one hundred and eighty days; if the ruler can respond with good governance and righteous laws, there will be no calamity. When the Star of Years, the Fiery Star, and the Filling Star are together, and are more than three feet apart, each staying for more than seven days up to twenty days, the whole country will mobilize troops, grain prices will surge, people will eat each other, and the land will be divided; if they are within seven inches of each other, it is also called "intersecting芒", indicating a great rebellion across the country, killing the sovereign and father, wives abandoning their husbands, and the time of the disaster will be one hundred and eighty days.

太白與歲星、填星色赤為兵；黃為旱；蒼為春多死亡。歲星、熒惑、太白三星合於一舍，其國大亂，若相去一尺至三尺，守之七日以上至二十日，天下皆兵。填星與太白俱入熒惑中，天下且有大謀兵。木、金，火三星合斗，其分國絕嗣，三王鼎足而居，必有亡國，內親相賊，九州作亂，社稷滅亡，期百八十日，遠一年。太白與熒惑、辰星春斗，其歲旱；夏斗，不出三年，主易；秋斗，不留其年，兵起；冬斗，不出三年，有女喪。”

The planet Tai Bai (Venus) and the planets Sui Xing (Jupiter), Tian Xing (Saturn) come together; if their color is red, it indicates military affairs; if yellow, it signifies drought; if green, it indicates many deaths in spring. When the planets Sui Xing, Ying Huo (Mars), and Tai Bai meet in the same constellation, the country corresponding to that constellation will experience great chaos. If they are separated by one to three chi, and remain in conjunction for more than seven days up to twenty days, there will be warfare throughout the land. When Tian Xing and Tai Bai enter the constellation of Ying Huo, the whole country will have major plans for military action. When the planets Sui Xing (Jupiter), Jin Xing (Mars), and Ying Huo (Mars) meet and clash, the country corresponding to that constellation will lose its lineage. Three kings, Wang Ding, will stand in opposition, and a country will be destroyed, with close relatives turning against each other, chaos in the nine provinces, and the state will be ruined, with the time of occurrence being one hundred and eighty days, or as long as a year. When Tai Bai, Ying Huo, and Chen Xing meet in conflict in spring, there will be drought that year; in summer, the king will change within three years; in autumn, there will be military action within the same year; in winter, there will be the death of a woman within three years.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“填星與太白辰星合宿，為國亡地，戰不勝。火、金、水俱在斗，有戮將，若死相。熒惑、太白、辰星俱在東井，內外有兵。木、金、火三量合軫，為白衣會也。”

Simao Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: When the planet of filling (Jing Xing), the bright star (Tai Bai), and the morning star (Chen Xing) congregate in the same mansion, it indicates the country will lose territory and fail in warfare. When the malefic of violence (Huo Xing), the bright star (Tai Bai), and the water star (Shui Xing) are all in the Dipper mansion, it indicates a general will be killed or the prime minister will die. When the malefic of violence (Feng Huo), the bright star (Tai Bai), and the morning star (Chen Xing) are all in the Well mansion, it indicates military affairs will occur both within and outside the country. When the planet of wood (Mu Xing), the bright star (Tai Bai), and the malefic of violence (Huo Xing) congregate in the Chariot mansion, it indicates there will be a mourning ceremony with white clothes.

《天文志》曰：“二星合，有小兵，小人愁，人君憂。”《海中占》曰：“二星相近者，其殃大，相遠者，其殃小，無傷。”《荊州占》曰：“二星若合，其國有兵，改立侯王，有德者興，無德者亡。”

The "Astronomical Records" says: When two stars converge, it indicates there will be minor military conflicts, with the common people suffering and the ruler worrying. The "Divination in the Sea" says: When two stars are close together, the calamity is great; if they are far apart, the calamity is minor, or perhaps there is no harm at all. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If two stars converge, then the region corresponding to that star will experience military conflict, and there will be a change in the ruling prince: the virtuous will rise to power, while the wicked will be defeated.

郗萌曰：“歲星、熒惑，陽也；太白、辰星，陰也。陰主外邦，陽主中邦；陽與陰合，中外邦相連以兵；陽與陽合，兵謀在國；陰與陰合，兵謀在外邦。”甘氏曰：“歲星干熒惑，為地動；熒惑干木星，蟄蟲冬出動，雷旱行，禾不成。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯歲星，為戰。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：“晉大安三年正月熒惑犯歲星，七月衛將軍除賒率兵，奉帝伐成都，六軍敗績，賒擅兵逼乘輿。九月壬戌，又攻成都於鄴，鄴潰，成都由是衰亡；帝遷洛，張方又脅如長安也。）

Xi Meng said: The star of the year (Jupiter) and the malefic of violence (Mars) belong to the yang category, while the bright white star (Venus) and the water star (Saturn) belong to the yin category. The yin category governs foreign lands, and the yang category governs the central plains; when a yang star meets a yin star, there will be military conflict between the central plains and foreign lands; when two yang stars meet, military strategies will emerge within the country; when two yin stars meet, military strategies will emerge in foreign lands. The Gan school said: When the star of the year is in conflict with the malefic of violence, it indicates an earthquake; when the malefic of violence is in conflict with the star of the year, it indicates that insects that are dormant in winter will emerge and move about, thunder will echo in winter, drought will spread, and crops will not mature. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the malefic of violence invades the star of the year, there will be warfare. The original commentary notes: According to the "Song Book · Astronomical Records," in the third year of Tai'an of the Western Jin Dynasty, in the first lunar month, the malefic of violence invaded the star of the year; in the seventh lunar month, the general Wei Jiangjun Chu She led an army to obey the Son of Heaven and attack the Duke of Chengdu, and the six armies suffered a great defeat, with Chu She acting independently and forcing the Son of Heaven's chariot. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, they attacked the Duke of Chengdu again in the city of Yecheng, and Yecheng fell, leading to the decline of the Duke of Chengdu; the Emperor Hui moved to Luoyang, and Zhang Fang again forced him to move to Chang'an.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯歲星，冬雷鳴，蟄蟲行，人民驚恐；又曰：熒惑當出不出，謂之潛行；見而近歲星出其北，天下有急，出其南，有謀在中。”又曰“歲星與熒惑接芒於西方，諸侯君臣有憂，其明年春害農時；與歲星會於東方，日為之食，不出二年，宰相亂人主之計；不定、乍退，乍進；不出三年大兵起。歲星與熒惑同舍，相去三尺以內，相守七日以上至四十日，其國有反臣，五穀傷，百姓不安，期一年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars invades the planet Jupiter, it indicates thunder in winter, with insects that have been dormant emerging and moving about, causing people to be frightened. It also says: When Mars arrives at the time it should appear but does not, this is called "hidden movement"; when it appears and approaches Jupiter, if it emerges from the north of Jupiter, there will be sudden difficulties throughout the country; if it emerges from the south of Jupiter, there will be people within the country plotting against the ruler. It also says: When Jupiter and Mars meet at the western edge, the ministers and kings of the feudal states will have troubles, and in the following spring, agricultural activities will be disrupted; when they meet at the eastern edge, a solar eclipse will occur, and within two years, the prime minister will disrupt the ruler's plans; if the two stars move unpredictably, sometimes retreating and sometimes advancing, within three years, great military conflicts will arise. When Jupiter and Mars are in the same room, within three feet of each other, and remain stationary for more than seven days up to forty days, then in the region corresponding to their position, there will be a rebellious minister, crops will be damaged, and the people will be unsettled, and this will happen within a year.

《天官書》曰：“木火合，為旱，為飢；戰，北軍困。歲星與熒惑合柳，歲星色赤，兵起；黃、白，五穀傷；黑，為憂；青而角赤，有兵起，期三十日，遠期六十日。歲星與熒惑合相，守國君大憂，近期二年，遠期三年而發。歲星與熒惑合於宿之陽，母子同鄉，其國寧；合於宿之陰，有兵起。歲星與熒惑合相，守其國，凶消；十日以上，大人作亂，期三年。木與火合，大臣匿謀，有反者，若主亡地，其國水。”

The Tian Gao Shu says: When the wood star and the malefic of violence meet, there will be drought and famine; if they fight, the army facing north will be in trouble. When the year star and the荧惑 meet in the willow mansion, if the year star is red, there will be military action; if it is yellow or white, the five grains will be damaged; if it is black, there will be worries; if it is green with a red tip, there will be military affairs, which will occur within thirty days, or up to sixty days. When the year star and the荧惑 meet and stay together, the king will have great worries, which will occur within two years, or up to three years. When the year star and the荧惑 meet in the southern part of the mansion, it is like a mother and child living in the same village, and the region will be peaceful; if they meet in the northern part, there will be military affairs. When the year star and the荧惑 meet and stay together, if they stay in the region's mansion, the calamity can be resolved; if they stay for more than ten days, there will be rebellion by important people, which will occur within three years. When the wood star and the malefic of violence meet, ministers will have secret plots, someone will rebel, or the king will lose territory, and the country will suffer from floods.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“歲星與熒惑合於虛，為喪。”石氏曰：“熒惑與攝提再合宿，相不死，出走。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑與木星合，為內亂，大臣謀主。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與歲星合，大臣匿謀，行，疾兵從之，戰不勝。熒惑與歲星合、同相守其分，走期三年。熒惑與攝提再合，有走主，謂東行合、西行又合，不出二年。”

Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: When the planet Jupiter and Mars meet in the mansion of Xuxu, it presages death. The Shi school says: When Mars meets the star of the ascending year twice in the same mansion, the prime minister will not die but must flee. "The Sea Divination" says: When Mars and Jupiter meet, it indicates internal disorder and ministers plotting against the sovereign. "The Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars and Jupiter meet, ministers are hiding plots; once the plot is launched, sudden military action follows, and battles cannot be won. When Mars and Jupiter meet and both remain stationed in a particular region, the people of that region will flee, and this will occur within three years. When Mars meets the star of the ascending year twice, there will be a fleeing sovereign; the term "twice meeting" refers to Mars meeting the star once when moving east and again when moving west, and this will be verified within two years.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“熒惑犯歲星為奸；臣謀，大將戮。”石氏曰：“熒惑與歲星合，其國若水。熒惑與歲星聚於一舍，熒惑在歲星之上，名曰子母同光，其國以大強，留百日，其國且重德致天下；在下亦然。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑木星斗，有夷狄之害，有弒大將。”《天官書》曰：“歲星與火合斗者，大臣弒其君、子弒其父。”

Simao Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena" says: When the planet Mars invades the planet Jupiter, there will be matters of treachery; ministers will plot rebellion, and generals will be killed. The Shi school says: When Mars and Jupiter meet, the country corresponding to that region will suffer from water disasters. When Mars and Jupiter gather in the same place, with Mars above Jupiter, this is called "mother and child shining together," and the country corresponding to that region will become strong; if it stays for one hundred days, that country will gain the world through its profound virtue; if Mars is below Jupiter, the interpretation is the same. The "Sea Divination" says: When Mars and Jupiter fight, there will be harm from barbarians, and a general will be killed. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When Jupiter and Mars meet and fight, it indicates that a minister will kill his sovereign, and a son will kill his father.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與歲星斗，其名曰讒星，不出其年，強國有易相；又曰為內亂。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑與木斗，夷狄肆害。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑歲星合斗於夏，兵飢並起，其分相凶，不可舉兵，殃大將，一曰有病君。歲星食熒惑，不出三年而國亡。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑貫歲星，弒小將。”石氏曰：“熒惑與歲星相拂，天下有爭言。漢《天文志》曰：“熒惑與木斗，有病君，民飢歲惡。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守歲星，大赦。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars (Fenghuo) and the planet Jupiter (Suixing) clash, this celestial phenomenon is called "Chan Star," and disaster will occur within the same year; a strong country will replace its prime minister. Another interpretation suggests it indicates internal disorder. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Mars and Jupiter clash, the barbarians will act recklessly and cause harm. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars and Jupiter meet and clash in summer, military disaster and famine will arise together; the prime minister of the corresponding region will face misfortune, and military action should be avoided, with the general suffering calamity; another interpretation suggests the king will fall ill. When Jupiter devours Mars, the country will perish within three years. The *Hai Zhong Divination* says: When Mars pierces through Jupiter, it indicates the death of a subordinate general. The Shi school says: When Mars and Jupiter brush against each other, there will be disputes throughout the land. The *Han Shu · Tianwen Zhi* says: When Mars and Jupiter clash, the king will fall ill, the people will suffer from famine, and the harvest will be poor. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars stops at Jupiter, it indicates the issuance of a general pardon.

石氏曰：“地侯雌雄，所出之宿國，亡地；所入之宿國，得地。地侯為雌，歲星為雄。郗萌曰：“填星干木星，野有兵相攻。填星所在，歲星從之，伐者利。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星所在，填星從之，伐者不利；又曰歲星土星，皆出東方，夕入西方，百九十日皆正中者，兵發東方國勝，當入不入，反東行九十日正中者，當發兵主死，人民流亡。”

The Shi school says: "Di Hou" is another name for the planet of Earth (the planet of soil), which is distinguished as female, while the planet of years (Jiu Xing) is male. When the planet of Earth leaves a constellation, the country corresponding to that constellation will lose land; when it enters a constellation, the country corresponding to that constellation will gain land. Di Hou is female, and Jiu Xing is male. Xi Meng says: When the planet of Earth approaches the planet of years (Jiu Xing), there will be military conflicts in the fields. When the planet of Earth is in a certain position, the planet of years follows, and the side that launches an attack will be advantageous. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet of years is in a certain position, the planet of Earth follows, and the side that launches an attack will be disadvantageous. It also says: When both the planet of years and the planet of Earth rise from the east and set in the west, and remain in the middle of the sky for 190 days, the country in the east will win if it launches an attack. If they are supposed to set but do not set, instead moving east for 90 days and still remaining in the middle of the sky, then the general of the attacking side will die and the people will flee.

《文曜鉤》曰：“填星與木星合，則變謀更事，主且失勢。”石氏曰：“地侯與攝提所合之宿，大戰不勝亡地主死。”甘氏曰：“歲星土星合，則為內亂。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：“惡光熙元年九月填星犯歲星，是時司馬越專權，終以無禮晉簡文帝。咸安二年正月己酉，歲星犯填星在須女，七月帝疾甚，詔桓溫曰：少子可輔則輔之，不可輔君自取之。顏侍中王坦之毀手詔，改使為王導輔政，故事溫聞之，大怒將誅坦之等，內亂之應也。安帝義熙七年丁卯，歲星犯填星，在參邊，時朱齡石克蜀，蜀民人尋反，又討滅之。）

The Wenyao Gou states: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) meets the planet of the year (Year Star), there will be a need to change plans and alter affairs, and the ruler will lose power. The Shi school says: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) meets the planet of the captor (Captor Star), the region corresponding to that mansion will suffer a great battle which will not be victorious, losing territory, and the ruler will die. The Gan school says: When the Year Star meets the Earth Star, there will be internal disorder. The original commentary says: According to the Records of the Celestial Phenomena in the Book of the Sui, in the ninth month of the first year of Guangxi of Emperor Huizhao of the Jin Dynasty, the Fill Star invaded the Year Star. At that time, Sima Yue held exclusive power over the government, eventually showing disrespect to the sovereign. In the second year of Xian'an of Emperor Jianwen of the Jin Dynasty, on the first day of the first month, on the Jiyou day, the Year Star invaded the Fill Star, located in the mansion of the girl (Nuxu). In the seventh month, Emperor Jianwen was seriously ill, and he issued an edict to Huan Wen saying: if the younger son can be supported, support him; if not, you may take over. The attendant counselor Wang Tanzhi tore up this edict in front of everyone and changed it to order Wang Dao to take charge of government (there is doubt about the names in the original text). Huan Wen heard this and was greatly angry, planning to kill Wang Tanzhi and others, which was the realization of internal disorder. In the seventh year of Yixi of Emperor An of the Jin Dynasty, on the Dingmao day, the Year Star invaded the Fill Star, located near the mansion of the three stars (Censhu). At that time, Zhu Lingshi captured the Shu region, but the people of Shu soon rebelled, and the court again sent troops to suppress them.

郗萌曰：“歲星填星合於張者，則太陽晝；太陽晝者，天必有變，不傷為政者，則害於民。又曰井泉高則平原出雲，歲不調和，貴人多內亂，有大水。又曰天下易令，民流千里，魚鱉死於陸，道民憂盜賊。又曰歲星與土星合，不過十日離；十日不離，天禍且降，不義者乃合之，其禍甚久。”《天官書》曰：“歲星與木合，亂飢生，勿用戰，必敗。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of brightness and prestige meets the star of officialdom in the mansion of Extended Net, there will be an unusual phenomenon called "sun in the day." This means that during the day, there must be some change in the sky. If it does not harm the officials, it will harm the common people. He also said: The water in the well rises, clouds rise over the plains, the harvest is uneven, there is much internal strife among the noblemen, and there will be great floods. He also said: The whole world will change its laws and regulations, the people will flee for a thousand li, fish and turtles will die on the land, and the people on the road will fear bandits. He also said: When the star of brightness and prestige meets the star of earth, they usually separate within ten days; if they do not separate within ten days, the calamity from heaven will descend, and the wicked people will be in harmony with it, and the disaster will last a long time. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When the star of brightness and prestige meets the star of wood, the star of brightness and prestige is actually the star of wood, so there must be an error in the original text. Then chaos and famine will occur, and one should not use military force, for it will certainly result in defeat.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與填星同舍，相去三尺以內，相守二十日以上至百九十二日，其國更主，立王。天下大爭，大臣相殘，王者易統，天下存亡半其守；夕逆行而復相守，以所近之宿位當之，相守一年，期三年。歲星填星合，以合日占其國；色蒼為水，赤為兵，黃為旱，白為喪。歲星與填星合，其國熟，若主吏死。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Star of Years and the Star of Filling are in the same mansion, within three feet of each other, and they remain in mutual stay for more than twenty days up to one hundred and ninety-two days, the country corresponding to that mansion will change its ruler and establish a new king. There will be great strife throughout the world, ministers will kill each other, the legitimate ruler will be replaced, and the survival or destruction of the world will depend on the duration of their mutual stay. If theyretrograde in the evening and then re-meet, the country corresponding to the mansion they are near will bear the consequence. If their meeting lasts for a full year, the effect will be seen after three years. When the Star of Years and the Star of Filling meet, the day branch of the day they meet is used to determine which country it will affect. If the stars appear blue, it indicates water disaster; if red, it indicates military conflict; if yellow, it indicates drought; if white, it indicates mourning. When the Star of Years and the Star of Filling meet, the country corresponding to that mansion will have a good harvest, or the official in charge will die.

填星與歲星合，相犯為內亂，不可舉用兵，土在木下，利為主人，土為木上，利為客。六十日不下，其國凶，失地。填星與歲星合一舍，歲星在下，填星在上，名曰雌雄間，客軍大破主人勝，在下六十日，不下，必有空邦徙主；填星為雌，歲星為雄。填星為歲星合，為飢、為旱、為兵，填星與歲星合，有軍在外，戰不勝，失地。”巫咸曰：“填星與歲星斗，不出其年，王者亡地，將軍死之。”

The planet Tianxing meets with the planet Suixing and they mutually attack, indicating internal disorder, and military action should not be taken. The planet Tuoxing is below the planet Mujing, which benefits the side that holds a position; Tuoxing is above Mujing, which benefits the invading army. If after sixty days Tianxing does not descend, the region corresponding to that star will have misfortune and lose territory. When Tianxing and Suixing meet in the same dwelling, Suixing is below and Tianxing is above, this is called "Ci Xiong Jian," the invading army suffers a great defeat while the defending side wins. If Tianxing remains below for sixty days and still does not descend, there will be a country in a state of emptiness and the ruler will have to move. Tianxing is considered the female star, and Suixing the male star. When Tianxing and Suixing meet, it indicates famine, drought, and warfare; when they meet, if there are armies outside the country, they will not be victorious and will lose territory. Wu Xian said: When Tianxing and Suixing fight, it will not be beyond the current year, the king will lose territory, and generals will die in battle.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與填星斗，此謂離德，不出三月，必有亡國。歲星逢填星，曰斗；先作事者敗，兵起必受其殃。歲星填星數合斗，使客接道，冠蓋相望，其下國哭泣，期不出六十日。歲星填星斗，其色青為喪；赤為兵。白為旱；黑為水潦。填星與歲星合斗，有軍必戰，無軍起兵，土木交行，必有破傷。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Star of Years meets the Star of Filling, this is called "Separation of Virtue," and within three months, a state will surely perish. When the Star of Years meets the Star of Filling, it is called "Struggle"; the party that acts first will suffer defeat, and any military campaign will bring calamity. When the Star of Years and the Star of Filling repeatedly meet and struggle, envoys and guests will travel along the roads continuously, with officials and carriages constantly coming and going. In that region, there will be mourning and sorrow, and this will occur within sixty days. When the Star of Years and the Star of Filling struggle, if the stars appear red, it indicates warfare; if they appear blue, it indicates mourning; if they appear white, it indicates drought; if they appear black, it indicates floods. When the Star of Filling meets the Star of Years, if there are armies, battle will surely occur; even without armies, there will be military action. When earth and wood interact, there will surely be destruction and injury.

巫咸曰：“太白犯木星，為飢。期三年。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉孝武太元十年十二月己丑，太白犯歲星，是時河朔禾一連。兵在外，冬大飢之應。）《荊州占》曰：“太白犯歲星，為旱，為兵，若環繞與之並光，有兵戰，破軍，殺將。”石氏曰：“太白與歲星相犯而有滅者，諸侯相滅所宿之國受之。”甘氏曰：“歲星干金星，軍再死再生，殺大將。”《荊州占》曰：“太白入木星次中，君賊死。”

Wu Xian said: The bright star (Jupiter) invades the year star (Saturn), indicating famine, and the period is three years. The original book's marginal note says: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Song History," in the tenth year of Taowu of Emperor Xiaowu of Eastern Jin, on the Jichou day of the twelfth lunar month, the bright star invaded the year star; at that time, the millet in the Yellow River region was insufficient, and the army was stationed outside the country, which was the verification of a severe famine in winter. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star invades the year star, it indicates drought and war; if the bright star circles around the year star and shines together with it, there will be warfare, the expenditure star and vanguard star will kill generals. The Shi school says: When the bright star and the year star invade each other and one of them is obscured, it indicates that the feudal lords will devour each other, and the country corresponding to the zodiac sign where the invasion occurs will suffer. The Gan school says: When the year star invades the bright star, the army dies and revives repeatedly, and the general will be killed. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star enters the zodiac sign where the year star is located, it indicates that the monarch will be killed by bandits.

《海中占》曰：“太白出歲星北，客利；歲星出太白北，主人利。”《荊州占》曰：“太白環繞歲星，有亡主。”甘氏曰：“太白與歲星並，太白在南，歲星在北，名曰牝牡相承，五穀成熟；太白在北，歲星在南，年或有或無，歲不熟，飢。”（晉灼曰：歲星陽，太白陰，故曰牝牡；又曰太白在歲星南，以兵飢，在歲星北，以水飢，一曰有亡國。）

The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When Tai Bai appears north of the Shui Xing, distant troops are advantageous; when Shui Xing appears north of Tai Bai, the defending side is advantageous. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When Tai Bai surrounds Shui Xing, the sovereign will suffer defeat and perish. The Gan school says: When Tai Bai and Shui Xing are aligned, with Tai Bai to the south and Shui Xing to the north, this is called "Pine and Cow in succession," resulting in the maturity of five grains. When Tai Bai is to the north and Shui Xing to the south, the harvest is sometimes good and sometimes bad, crops are not ripe, and there is famine. The original commentary cites Jin Zhu's explanation: Shui Xing belongs to Yang, Tai Bai to Yin, hence called Pine and Cow. It also says that when Tai Bai is south of Shui Xing, famine occurs due to warfare; when Tai Bai is north of Shui Xing, famine occurs due to floods; another interpretation is the collapse of a state.

又曰：“歲星太白相去尺，若不能天下有兵，不出四旬中，戰。色青，則東方勝；赤，則南方勝；黃，即中央勝；白，則西方勝。黑，則北方勝。歲星所在，太白從之，伐者利，有功；太白所在，歲星從之，伐者不利，無功。歲星與太白相遇，有兵兵罷。太白與歲星過，木金也，命曰伐其野戰。入太白中，次中大將必死。太白歲星俱出東方，若併入西方，王者亡地。”

It is also said that when the star of years (Jupiter) and the bright star (Venus) are one chi apart, if the two stars cannot coexist, there will be military conflict within forty days. If the stars appear blue, the eastern region will win; if red, the southern region will win; if yellow, the central region will win; if white, the western region will win; if black, the northern region will win. When the star of years is in a certain position and the bright star follows it, military campaigns will be advantageous and victories will be achieved. However, if the bright star is in a certain position and the star of years follows it, military campaigns will be disadvantageous and no victories will be achieved. When the star of years meets the bright star, although there may be military conflict, the conflict will cease. When the bright star passes over the star of years, it is a conflict between wood and metal, called 'cutting', indicating a battle in the corresponding region. When the star of years enters the bright star, and reaches the star's position, the general will surely die. If both the star of years and the bright star appear together from the east or disappear together into the west, the ruler will lose his territory.

《洪範傳》曰：“金木舍於觜，為白衣之會。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星與太白合，為飢、為疾、為內兵。”《文耀鉤》曰：“太白與木合光，大戰不勝，兵雖起，不成。”《天宮書》曰：“不斗，合相毀，野有破城。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星太白合光，所合之野、謀兵，其相環也，乍居西，乍居東，有逐相，兵起不戰。又曰歲星犯太白，為訴死，外將軍慎之；無將軍不出四十日拜將軍，期九十日。歲星與太白同光，殺大將，相去一尺，天下治兵，不出四十日。”

The *Hongfan Zhuan* says: When the planet Venus and Jupiter are in the same mansion, namely the Turtle Beak mansion, there will be a mourning event involving someone wearing white clothing. The *Huangdi Zhan* says: When the planet Jupiter meets the planet Mars, there will be famine, plague, and internal warfare. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When the planet Mars and Jupiter shine together, great battles will not be successful, and although military actions are initiated, they will not succeed. The *Tianguan Shu* says: When the two stars do not fight but merely meet, they damage each other, indicating that cities in the open fields will be attacked and broken. The *Jingzhou Zhan* says: When Jupiter meets Mars with their light, the region corresponding to their meeting will have plans for military action; when the two stars encircle each other, moving from west to east, the prime minister will be expelled, and although military actions are initiated, they will not result in actual combat. It also says: When Jupiter invades Mars, there will be someone who dies due to litigation, and the general stationed outside should be cautious; if the country has no general, a general will be appointed within forty days, and the prediction will come true within ninety days. When Jupiter and Mars have the same color, the general will be killed; if they are one foot apart, the whole country will prepare for war, and within forty days, this will happen.

石氏曰：“太白與歲星合於一宿，西方凶；歲星出左有年，出右無年；合之日以知五穀之有無。”（陳卓曰：甲乙為麥，丙丁為黍，戌己為粟，庚辛為稻，壬癸為豆。）巫咸曰：“太白與木星合，有白衣之會，為水。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tai Bai and the star of the year (Sui Xing) meet in the same constellation, there will be misfortune in the west; if Sui Xing appears to the left of Tai Bai, the harvest will be good; if it appears to the right, the harvest will be poor; the abundance or scarcity of five grains can be known from the day branch on the day of their conjunction. The original commentary cites Chen Zhuo's statement: if their conjunction occurs on a Jia or Yi day, it indicates a good harvest of wheat; on a Bing or Ding day, it indicates a good harvest of millet; on a Wu or Ji day, it indicates a good harvest of millet; on a Geng or Xin day, it indicates a good harvest of rice; on a Ren or Gui day, it indicates a good harvest of beans. Wu Xian says: When Tai Bai and the star of wood (Sui Xing) meet, there will be a mourning event with people wearing white clothes, and also a flood disaster.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與太白合，為喪；歲星與太白同舍，相去三尺以內，七寸以外，金木不當同舍，七日以上，王者誅將軍，其歲星往犯太白，為誅死，國有將軍慎之，乘犯於外官之中，則外將軍慎之，乘犯於內官之中，內將軍慎之；其國無將軍而犯太白，不出四十日，拜將，期九十日。歲星與太合於西方，木在金位，命曰伐，其國凶，為白依之會；木在金北，年不熟。歲星與太白合，其分兵起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of years (Jupiter) meets the star of the general (Mars), it signifies calamity and death. If Jupiter and Mars are in the same dwelling, within three feet but outside seven inches, which is not proper since metal and wood should not be in the same dwelling, and this lasts for more than seven days, the king should execute the general. If Jupiter attacks Mars, there will be someone killed and the country's generals should be cautious. If the attack occurs among the outer officials' stars, the generals stationed outside should be cautious; if it occurs among the inner officials' stars, the generals in the court should be cautious. If the country has no generals and Jupiter attacks Mars, a general will be appointed within forty days, and the prediction will come true within ninety days. If Jupiter and Mars meet in the west, wood enters the position of metal, which is called 'cutting down,' indicating calamity in that region, with a mourning ceremony in plain clothes. If wood is north of metal, the harvest will be poor. When Jupiter and Mars meet, the region corresponding to that position should prepare for war.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：魏明帝太和四年十一月壬戌，太白犯歲星，五年三月，諸葛亮以大眾寇天水，遣大將軍司馬懿拒，退之。惡元帝大興元年八月乙未，太白又犯歲星，三年六月丙辰，太白與歲星合。永昌元年三月，王敦率江荊之眾來次京都，大軍拒戰敗績，於是殺護將軍周凱，尚書令刁歷縹騎將軍戴淵又鎮北將軍劉隗出奔，四月又殺湘州刺史譙王承鎮南將軍甘卓。《晉陽秋》曰：孝武寧康二年二月丙申，太白犯歲星，太元元年九月，元帥符堅屠諒州，擄刺史西平侯張天錫。冬十月，車騎桓伊遣軍泛舟淮泗，以救諒州，又發二州員吏，移積流民，患置淮南。太元五年辛卯，歲星與太白相犯於東井，十二月元帥符堅圍襄陽。）

The original commentary says: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the fourth year of Taihe during the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei, the planet Jupiter invaded the planet Saturn; in the third month of the fifth year of Taihe, Zhuge Liang led a large army to attack Tianshui, and Wei sent General Sima Yi to resist, forcing him back. In the first year of Daxing during the reign of Emperor Yuan of Jin, on the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, Jupiter again invaded Saturn; on the third day of the sixth lunar month in the third year of Daxing, Jupiter and Saturn met. In the first year of Yongchang, in the third lunar month, Wang Dun led his troops from Jiangzhou and Jingzhou to attack the capital, and the imperial army failed to resist, so they killed General Zhou Yi, Chancellor Diao Xie, and General Dai Yuan. General Liu Wei fled. In the fourth lunar month, they also killed the governor of Xiangzhou, Prince Zhao Wang Sima Cheng, and General Gan Zhuo. The "Jinyang Spring" records: In the second year of Ningkang during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, on the third day of the second lunar month, Jupiter invaded Saturn; in the first year of Taoyuan, in the ninth lunar month, the ruler of the Former Qin, Fu Jian, attacked and destroyed Liangzhou, capturing the governor of Liangzhou, Marquis Xiping Zhang Tianxi. That winter, on the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, General Huan Yi sent troops to sail along the Huai River and Si River to rescue Liangzhou, and also mobilized officials from two states, gathering and relocating refugees to Huainan. In the fifth year of Taoyuan, on the day of Xinmao, Jupiter and Saturn clashed in the Well mansion; in the twelfth lunar month, Fu Jian besieged Xiangyang.

《荊州占》曰：“太白居歲星南，南國敗；居歲星北，北國敗。歲星出，隨太白於西方，相遠，天下無兵。太白與歲星合，未至，太白從歲星疾，主人急憂，失城；歲星從太白疾，客急。太白與歲星合，其國有謀兵；一曰金木合於一舍，其分有蝗；太白與木星會相去五尺，戰；三尺，有破軍；二尺，拔國；光芒相及，大亂；其分民飢，兵起。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star (Jingwei) is located to the south of the year star (Suixing), the southern state will suffer defeat; when it is located to the north of the year star, the northern state will suffer defeat. When the year star appears and moves westward with the bright star, and the two stars are far apart, there will be no military conflicts in the world. When the bright star and the year star are about to meet but have not yet joined, if the bright star urgently follows the year star, the ruler's side will face urgent troubles and lose a city; if the year star urgently follows the bright star, the distant guest army will face difficulties. When the bright star and the year star meet, the corresponding region will have military plans. Another view says that when metal and wood meet in the same dwelling, the corresponding region will suffer from locust plagues. When the bright star and the year star meet, if they are five chi apart, there will be warfare; if three chi apart, the army will be defeated; if two chi apart, the city and state will be captured; when the light of the two stars touches each other, there will be great chaos, and the people in the corresponding region will suffer from famine and military conflicts will arise.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“歲星與太白斗，其野有破軍，國有內亂。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星與太白斗西方，八日兵起，不則八歲兵起，有流血其下。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白與歲星斗，強國易相。”石氏曰：“太白與歲星斗所在之國，有內亂。”《文耀鉤》曰：“太白與歲星斗，將軍殺；若軍在外，破軍、殺將；有夷狄害。”巫咸曰：“太白與歲星斗，名雄，無戈兵。太白與木星合斗，兵在外為亂。”

Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the star of the year (Jupiter) and the star of the bright planet (Mars) clash, the corresponding region will have armies defeated and internal disturbances in the country. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of the year and the star of the bright planet clash in the west, there will be military action within eight days; if not within eight days, then within eight years, and there will be bloodshed. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the star of the bright planet and the star of the year clash, the strong country will replace its prime minister. The Shi school says: When the star of the bright planet and the star of the year clash, the country corresponding to the region will have internal disturbances. The "Wenyao Gou" says: When the star of the bright planet and the star of the year clash, the general will be killed; if the army is outside the country, there will be a defeat of the army and killing of the general, and also harm from the barbarians. Wu Xian says: When the star of the bright planet and the star of the year clash, the star of the bright planet is called the strong star, and it indicates no military conflict. When the star of the bright planet and the star of the year meet and clash, if the army is outside the country, there will be rebellion.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與歲星斗，相亂，有滅諸侯，人民離其鄉；一曰民多死者。歲星逢太白，曰斗，有土功，歲旱，天下大飢；先舉兵不勝，必受其殃。太白與歲星合斗於東方，有兵於外，必有戰鬥。於西方，必有亡國，死王，白衣之會。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai confronts the planet Su Xing, they disturb each other, indicating that there will be the destruction of feudal lords and people leaving their homeland; another interpretation is that many people will die. When Su Xing meets Tai Bai, it is called "du," which signifies the commencement of construction projects, a dry year, and widespread famine; the side that initiates military action will not win and will certainly suffer calamity. If Tai Bai and Su Xing meet and confront in the east, there will be warfare outside the country, and fighting will certainly occur; if they meet and confront in the west, there will certainly be the fall of a state, the death of a king, and also mourning in white clothing.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“辰星犯歲星，為兵。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星與歲星合而犯之，為隕霜；若合而斗，其國亂。歲星與辰星合，相去七寸，則交芒相接，七日以上至二十日，天下民流水，泉湧出，期三年；一曰有女喪。”郗萌曰：“歲星干辰星，冬洩疾。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星掩辰星，客將死，期不出其年。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星與辰星合，則為變謀而更事，國多水，民飢。”

Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: When the water star (Mercury) invades the wood star (Jupiter), it indicates military affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the water star and the wood star meet and then invade each other, there will be frost; if they meet and fight, the country in the corresponding region will be in disorder. When the wood star and the water star meet, and the distance between them is seven inches, their bright edges touch each other, and this situation lasts more than seven days up to twenty days, leading to the migration of people throughout the country, springs erupting on the ground, and this will occur after three years; another interpretation is that there will be the death of a woman. Xi Meng says: When the wood star invades the water star, it indicates an outbreak of diarrhea in winter. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the wood star covers the water star, the commander of a distant army will die, and this will happen within the same year. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the wood star and the water star meet, there will be changes in plans and the replacement of affairs, and the country will suffer from much flooding and the people will face famine.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與辰星合舍，相去三尺，相守七日以上，其國君臣俱和，道德相生；期百八十日，有衣榮。歲星與辰星合，先起兵者凶，後起兵者吉。辰星與歲星合，其分有水，兵飢並起。”甘氏曰：“歲星與辰星合、斗，軍在外則有戰兵，兵不在外為內亂。”郗萌曰：“歲星辰星斗，滅之，殺大將；薄之、貫之，殺偏將。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星與免星斗，將軍死，期一年。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter and the planet Saturn meet in the same room, and are three feet apart, and remain in mutual observation for more than seven days, then the ruler and ministers of the corresponding region will be harmonious, and moral virtues will flourish together. The period of fulfillment is one hundred and eighty days, and there will be events of promotion and honor. When Jupiter and Saturn meet, the one that starts the military action will be inauspicious, while the one that follows will be auspicious. When Jupiter and Saturn meet, the corresponding region will suffer from water disasters, and military conflicts and famine will arise together. The Gan school says: When Jupiter and Saturn meet and fight, there will be warfare outside the territory; if the military forces are not outside, it will indicate internal turmoil. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter and Saturn fight, if one obscures the light of the other, the general will be killed; if they approach and penetrate each other, the deputy general will be killed. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter and the star of the rabbit (which is another name for Saturn) fight, the general will die, and the period of fulfillment is one year. In this book, whenever it refers to the "star of the rabbit," it is actually referring to Saturn (the water star).

巫咸曰：“熒惑犯填星，兵大起。（按《宋書天文志》曰：“晉穆帝昇平二年八月戊午，熒惑犯填星，三年十月，諸葛攸舟軍入河，敗績。”）《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與填星合而犯，大將軍為亂；若守之，女主凶，期三年。”司馬彪《天文志》曰：“熒惑犯填星，大人忌。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑干填星，大旱。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入填星中，將軍為亂。”《文耀鉤》曰：“主喜不失政，則熒惑與填星相扶。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence (Mars) invading the Earth Star (Saturn) indicates a large military campaign. The original commentary notes: According to the "Book of the Later Han · Records of Astronomy," in the second year of Shengping during the reign of Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty, in the eighth month on the fifth day of the Wuwu cycle, the Malefic of violence invaded the Earth Star; in the tenth month of the third year of Shengping, Zhuge You led a naval force into the Yellow River for battle and suffered a great defeat. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence and the Earth Star meet and invade it, it indicates rebellion by a great general; if it remains near the Earth Star, it indicates misfortune for a female ruler, with an expected period of three years. The "Continued Han Book · Records of Astronomy" by Sima Biao says: When the Malefic of violence invades the Earth Star, a person of high status will have something to be cautious about. The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When the Malefic of violence interferes with the Earth Star, it indicates a great drought. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence enters the domain of the Earth Star, it indicates rebellion by a general. The "Wenyao Gou" says: If the ruler loves good governance and does not lose the way of governance, the Malefic of violence and the Earth Star will support each other and move together.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑去填星而復歸環繞之，不出六年，中國亡主；又曰為獄事。”石氏曰：“熒惑與填星會，主走出。”巫咸曰：“熒惑與土合，是謂內亂。”班固《天文志》曰：“土與水合為壅沮，（晉灼曰：水性壅而溺土，故曰壅沮，一曰壅填也。）不可舉事用兵；又曰國亡地。”郗萌曰：“熒惑與填星合，其國爭者坐之；又曰熒惑與填星環繞之，不出三年，天子失位；又曰熒惑與填星合，女子坐之。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars separates from the planet Venus and then returns to circle around it, the Central Plains will lose their ruler within six years; another interpretation says it relates to criminal justice matters. The Shi school says: When Mars and Venus meet, the ruler will flee. Wu Xian says: When Mars and the Earth planet meet, this is called internal disorder. Ban Gu's *Book of Han · Astronomical Records* says: When the Earth planet and the Water planet meet, it is called "yongju." The original text's marginal note cites Jin Zhuo's explanation: Water is obstructive and can submerge Earth, hence it is called "yongju," another interpretation being "yongtian." At this time, it is not advisable to undertake military actions; it also indicates the loss of territory by the state. Xi Meng says: When Mars and Venus meet, those who contend for power in the corresponding region will be punished and implicated; it also says that when Mars and Venus encircle each other, the Son of Heaven will lose his position within three years; it also says that when Mars and Venus meet, a woman will be punished and implicated.

《文耀鉤》曰：“填星與火合，則大旱，陽行害；又曰火與土合，憂，主孽祥。”石氏曰：“填星與火合，大人惡之。”《海中占》曰：“填星與熒惑合，女子為天下害。”郗萌曰：“填星與熒惑合，為禍喪，其國不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”（按司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝順帝漢安二年六月乙丑，熒惑光芒犯填星。明年八月，孝順帝崩，孝沖即位。明年正月，又崩。）

The Wen Yao Gou states: When the planet of filling (Tian Cheng) and the malefic of violence (Huo Xing) conjoin, there will be a great drought, and excessive yang energy will cause harm. It also says that when fire and earth conjoin, there will be calamity and signs of demons. The Shi school says: When the planet of filling and the malefic of violence conjoin, the high-ranking officials will detest this celestial phenomenon. The Hai Zhong Zhan states: When the planet of filling and the wandering fire (Ying Huo) conjoin, a woman will become a threat to the world. Xi Meng says: When the planet of filling and the wandering fire conjoin, there will be chaos and loss of life. The country corresponding to the affected area should not take action, and military campaigns will certainly bring disaster. The original text's note says: According to Sima Biao's Continuation of the Han Book · Records of Astronomy, in the second year of Han An of Emperor Shun of the Han dynasty, in June on the day of Yichou, the light of the wandering fire invaded the planet of filling. The next year, in August, Emperor Shun died and Emperor Chong took the throne. A year later, in January, Emperor Chong also died.

《荊州占》曰：“填星與熒惑合，土在火上，他兵加之必有克；土在火下，各不動者，名曰子母同光，其國得地，猛強；若同上下，民有逆心，其分兵起，更王。”石氏曰：“地侯與熒惑所合宿，戰不勝，國飢。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：宋武大明五年正月，火土同在須女，占曰：女主惡之；三月孝穆皇后崩，此其應也。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) and the planet of violence (Mars) conjoin, and the planet of earth (Saturn) is above Mars, armies from another country will attack us, but we will certainly be victorious; if Saturn is below Mars, and the two stars remain stationary, this is called "mother and child shining together," and the country corresponding to that division will gain territory and become strong and powerful; if the positions above and below are the same and the stars are close together, the people will have rebellious hearts, and the country corresponding to that division will raise an army to replace the king. The Shi school says: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) and Mars conjoin in the mansion of the girl (Girl Mansion), the warfare in the corresponding division will not be successful, and there will be famine in the country. The original book's note says: According to the *Astronomical Records* in the *Book of Song*, in the first month of the fifth year of Emperor Xiaowu's reign of the Song dynasty, Mars and Saturn were together in the mansion of the girl; the divination text says that the female ruler detests this celestial phenomenon; in the third month, the empress dowager Xiaomu died, which was the fulfillment of this prophecy.

石氏曰：“熒惑從填星，聚於一舍，名曰大陽，其下國且有重德致天下，期在十年。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑與土斗，則子弟亂。”巫咸曰：“填星與熒惑斗，不出其年，有亡國。”郗萌曰：“熒惑與土合斗，兵起，近期十五日，中期三十日，遠期六十日。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Mars (Fenghuo) follows the planet Saturn (Tianxing) and they gather in the same mansion, this is called "Daying." The country corresponding to that division will gain the world through great virtue, and this will happen within ten years. The Wenyaogou says: When Mars and Saturn contend, it indicates rebellion by the younger generation. Wu Xian says: When Saturn and Mars contend, the country will perish within the same year. Xi Meng says: When Mars and Saturn meet and contend, it signifies military action. The near occurrence will be within fifteen days, the middle occurrence within thirty days, and the distant occurrence within sixty days.

《荊州占》曰：“填星與熒惑合斗，必有叛臣為亂，有兵起，期不出二年；又曰熒惑與填星斗，不出三年，有亡國。又曰熒惑與填星斗，王者亡地，將軍死之。又曰填星與熒惑合，相守，主以孽為憂，其下國失地，若有圍邑。又曰熒惑與填星相守，為憂喪。”石氏曰：“熒惑守填星，旱；一曰兵大起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of filling and the planet of flame meet and fight, there will certainly be a rebellious minister causing disorder and military actions will arise, and this will happen within two years; it also says that when the planet of flame and the planet of filling fight, a state will surely perish; it also says that when the planet of flame and the planet of filling fight, the ruler will lose territory and the general will die in battle; it also says that when the planet of filling and the planet of flame meet and remain stationary, the ruler will worry about庶出 sons, and a country in a particular region will lose territory, or a city will be besieged; it also says that when the planet of flame and the planet of filling remain stationary, there will be calamity and mourning. The Shi school says: When the planet of flame remains stationary at the planet of filling, there will be drought; another view says there will be a large-scale military campaign.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與太白相犯，大戰；太白在熒惑南，南國敗；在熒惑北，北國敗。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑從太白，軍憂；離之軍卻出太白之陰，有分軍出其陽，有偏將之戰當其行，太白逮之，破軍殺將。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑太白相犯，為兵喪，為逆謀。”甘氏曰：“熒惑干太白，草木傷華妨政。”石氏曰：“熒惑與太白會，為鑠。”《荊州占》曰：“太白熒惑合，去之一尺，曰鑠；其下之國，不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入太白，將軍戮。”《海中占》曰：“與熒惑合，金從火，有兵罷；火從金，兵大起。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: If the planet Mars (Flame Star) and the planet Venus (Metal Star) attack each other, there will be a great battle; if Venus is to the south of Mars, the southern state will suffer defeat; if Venus is to the north of Mars, the northern state will suffer defeat. The book Wen Yao Gou says: If Mars follows Venus, there will be worry in the army; if Mars separates from Venus, the army will retreat. If Mars appears on the north side of Venus, there will be a detached force; if Mars appears on the south side of Venus, there will be a battle involving a subordinate general. If Venus catches up with Mars, the general will be defeated and killed. The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: If Mars and Venus attack each other, there will be military calamity and chaos, and there will be plots of rebellion. The Gan school says: If Mars interferes with Venus, the flowers of plants will be damaged, and political affairs will be hindered. The Shi school says: If Mars and Venus meet, it is called 'Shuo', meaning that metal is melted by fire. The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: If Mars and Venus meet, and they are one chi apart, it is called 'Shuo'; the country corresponding to that region should not take action, and if military action is taken, it will certainly suffer misfortune. The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: If Mars enters the midst of Venus, the general will be killed. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: If Mars and Venus meet, if metal follows fire, there will be an end to military action; if fire follows metal, there will be a large-scale military campaign.

（按張璠《漢紀》曰：初王師敗於河陽，欲浮河東，下太史令王立曰：春太白犯填星於斗，過天津熒惑又逆行，守北河，不犯也。由是遂渡北河，將自幟關東出，立又謂宋開鄧艾曰：太白守天關，與熒惑會，金火交，金革之象也，漢祚終矣，晉魏必有興者。後立數言於帝曰，天命有去就，五行不常恆，代火者土也，承漢者魏也，能安天下者曹姓，惟委任曹氏而已。公聞之語立曰：知公忠於朝延，然天道深遠，幸勿多言。）

The original commentary says: According to Zhang Fan's "Han Chronicle," when the royal army suffered a defeat at Heyang and intended to cross the Yellow River to the east, the Astronomer Royal Wang Li said: This year, the bright star was in the Dipper mansion, encroaching upon the planet of filling, and then passed over the Tianjin star. The planet of fire also moved backwards and occupied the northern river. However, it did not actually come into conflict. Thus, they crossed the northern river and prepared to travel eastward through the Zhi Pass. Wang Li then told Song Kai and Deng Ai: The bright star is stationed at the Tian Guan star, meeting with the planet of fire. The metal and fire are in conjunction, which is an omen of warfare. The Han dynasty's destiny is about to end, and between the Jin and Wei dynasties, there must be a rising power. Later, Wang Li repeatedly told Emperor Xian: Heaven's mandate has both decline and renewal; the Five Phases are not constant. The one that replaces the fire phase is the earth phase. The one that succeeds the Han dynasty is the Wei dynasty. The one who can pacify the world is the Cao family. Just entrust the Cao family with the affairs. Upon hearing this, Cao Cao said: I know you are loyal to the court, but the way of heaven is profound, and I hope you will not speak much about it.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與熒惑遇，謂金入火，有兵兵罷，國安無禍。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑太白合，野有破軍，將死。”按班固《天文志》曰：“孝景后元年五月壬午，火金會合於輿鬼之東北，不至柳，出輿鬼北可五寸。丙戌地大動，鈴鈴然，民大疫死，棺貴至秋止。”司馬彪《天文志》曰：“孝殤延平元年正月丁酉，金火在婁，金火合，大人憂。是歲八月辛亥，孝殤帝崩。

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the star of Mars meets the star of Venus, it is called the metal entering fire. Although there may be military affairs, they will end without warfare, and the country will be stable without calamity. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the star of Mars meets the star of Venus, it indicates that armies in the open fields will be defeated and generals will die. According to Ban Gu's Han Shu, Tianwen Zhi, in the fifth month of the second year after the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, on the day of Renwu, the star of Mars and the star of Venus met in the northeast of the Ghost mansion, without reaching the Willow mansion, and appeared about five inches north of the Ghost mansion. On the day of Bingxu, there was a great earthquake, with a loud rumbling sound, and the people suffered a severe epidemic, many died, and coffin prices rose, and it only stopped in the autumn. According to Sima Biao's Xun Han Shu, Tianwen Zhi, in the first year of Yanching of Emperor Shangdi of Han, on the day of Dingyou, the star of Venus and the star of Mars were in the Bond mansion, and the meeting of the star of Venus and the star of Mars indicated that a person of high rank would have worries. In this year, on the day of Xinhai in the eighth month, Emperor Shangdi died.

《荊州占》曰：熒惑與太白合，主人兵不勝；又曰所合國，野有殃；二旬四五日，兵過其野；三旬四五日，兵宿其野；三月不去，其國亡。”又曰：“熒惑與太白合同舍，其分有兵戰，相離則軍離。”（按檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：“孝武寧康二年十一月癸酉，太白掩熒惑，在營室。時桓石虔破氐賊姚萇於江。）又曰：“熒惑秋與太白合，其國不可以舉兵，反受其殃。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars (Flame) and the planet Venus (Bright) meet, the ruler's side cannot win a battle; it also says that the country corresponding to the area where they meet will suffer calamity in the fields. If the two stars remain together for twenty-four to twenty-five days, there will be troops passing through that area; if they remain for thirty-four to thirty-five days, there will be troops stationed there; if they stay for three months without leaving, the country will be destroyed. It also says: When Mars and Venus meet in the same mansion, there will be warfare in that area; when the two stars separate, the army will also disperse. The original commentary says: According to Tan Daoluan's *Jingyang Spring*, in the second year of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's Ning reign, on the eleventh month, on the Guiyou day, Venus covered Mars, located in the Encampment mansion; at that time, Han Shiqian defeated the chieftain Yao Chang of the Di tribe on the river. It also says: If Mars and Venus meet in autumn, the country corresponding to that area should not send troops, otherwise it will suffer misfortune.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑太白俱入斗，不出其年，國亂有憂；又曰熒惑入東井，太白隨之，兵喪並起。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入東井，太白隨之，將若相死；一曰君死，又曰糴貴。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入東井，太白隨之，道上多死人。”陳卓曰：“熒惑入東井，太白隨之，百川皆溢。”韓楊曰：“熒惑太白接，皆赤而芒，三十日舍天津，關河不渡，諸侯不通，其君死之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars and the planet Venus enter the Dipper mansion together, there will be domestic turmoil and calamity within the year; it also says that if Mars enters the Well mansion and Venus follows, it indicates the outbreak of military disasters and funerals. Xi Meng says: If Mars enters the Well mansion and Venus follows, it signifies the death of a general or a chancellor; another interpretation says the king dies, and yet another says grain prices will rise. The Jingzhou Divination says: If Mars enters the Well mansion and Venus follows, it indicates many deaths on the roads. Chen Zhuo says: If Mars enters the Well mansion and Venus follows, it indicates flooding in all rivers. Han Yang says: If Mars and Venus are in conjunction, both stars appear red with bright rays, and remain in the Tianjin star for thirty days, it indicates that border crossings and river crossings will be blocked, and the princes will not communicate with each other; the ruler of that region will die.

石氏曰：“熒惑與太白相隨西行，熒惑舍天門西，太白舍天門中；一曰舍天津，人主無出國。”《荊州占》曰：“太白從熒惑聚於一舍，熒惑在上，名曰乘太白，其歲多兵不用，其國將以武致天下，逆行兵起。”石氏曰：“熒惑太白所守之宿在東方，女勝男。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑太白中上出，破軍殺將，客勝。”

The Shi school says: If the planet Mars and the planet Venus move westward together, Mars is located west of the star Tianmen, and Venus is located in the middle of Tianmen; another view says that they are located at Tianjin star, then the ruler should not go abroad for a long journey. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Venus follows Mars and they gather in the same dwelling, with Mars above, this is called "riding on Venus," in this year although there are many military affairs, they will not be used, and the country corresponding to this area will gain the world by force; if the two stars move retrograde, there will be military conflicts. The Shi school says: If the dwelling of Mars and Venus is in the east, it indicates that women will surpass men. The "Sea Divination" says: If Mars and Venus rise upward from the middle, it indicates the defeat of the general and the victory of the distant army.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入太白中，五十日，將死。又曰熒惑與太白相入，入而不出，其國亂，有憂。又曰熒惑出太白之左，小戰；出太白右，去之三尺，軍小敗。”《黃帝兵法》曰：“熒惑出太白之陰，若不有分軍，必有他急，分大軍也。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑所在，太白從之，伐不利，無功；太白所在，熒惑從之，伐者利，有功。”石氏曰：“熒惑往從太白，聚於一舍，太白為失明，熒惑赤色而光，環繞太白所守之國，大兵起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars enters the area of the planet Venus, for fifty days, the commander will die. It also says that when Mars and Venus invade each other and enter but do not leave, the country corresponding to that area will be in chaos and face troubles. It further states that if Mars appears to the left of Venus, it indicates small-scale warfare; if it appears to the right of Venus, at a distance of three feet, it indicates a minor defeat of the army. The *Yellow Emperor's Military Methods* says: If Mars appears to the north of Venus, unless there is a need to divide the troops, there must be an urgent matter, and then a large force should be dispatched to deal with it. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When Mars is in a certain position and Venus follows, an expedition will be unfavorable and there will be no military success; when Venus is in a certain position and Mars follows, an expedition will be favorable and there will be military achievements. The *Shi School* says: When Mars approaches and follows Venus, gathering in the same area, Venus loses its brightness, while Mars appears red and bright, surrounding the area corresponding to Venus, indicating a large-scale military campaign.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與熒惑遇，是謂金入火，有兵罷，無徭投，又曰太白在熒惑之上，所聚之國，且以義致天下；若在左右，名曰秋兵，其國必大敗。又曰熒惑在太白前後左右，成戰，客勝。又曰太白出熒惑之東，不出三月兵起；又曰太白居熒惑之後而相及，破軍殺將。又曰太白上居熒惑上，復下成熒惑下，有反者。”《宋武兵法》曰：“太白熒惑，一南一北，為死喪。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star and the red star meet, this is called the golden star entering the fire. Although there may be military affairs, they will end without warfare and no conscription or levies. It also says that if the bright star is above the red star, the country corresponding to that area will gain the world through righteousness; if the bright star is to the left or right of the red star, this is called "autumn army," and that country will certainly suffer a great defeat. It also says that if the red star is in front of, behind, or to the sides of the bright star, it indicates warfare, with the visiting army winning. It also says that if the bright star appears east of the red star, war will break out within three months. It also says that if the bright star was originally above the red star but later moves to be below it, there will be rebellion. The "Song Wu Military Code" says: If the bright star and the red star are positioned north and south respectively, it indicates death and mourning.

郗萌曰：“太白乘熒惑，軍敗；隨熒惑，軍憂。又曰熒惑太白合，而太白起角芒，而光居熒惑之上，其國且有用兵，三十日不去，天下三年兵起，六十日不去，下有空國，死主。”《荊州占》曰：“太白與熒惑相留，十日如去，有兵大戰；其不滿十日，有兵而不戰，期不出一年中。又曰熒惑環太白，大將死。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑方行，太白環之，破軍殺將。”石氏曰：“熒惑薄太白，亡偏將。”

Xi Meng said: Tai Bai approaching and covering Ying Huo indicates the defeat of the army; following Ying Huo, there will be worries within the military. Also, if Ying Huo and Tai Bai meet, and Tai Bai appears with a bright horn, shining above Ying Huo, the country corresponding to that area will be involved in military action; if thirty days pass without separation, there will be military action within three years; if sixty days pass without separation, there will be a country in decline and the death of the ruler. The Jingzhou Divination says: if Tai Bai and Ying Huo mutually block each other, and take ten days to separate, there will be a great battle; if they separate within ten days, although there may be military action, there will be no actual fighting, and the predicted time will not occur within a year. It also says that if Ying Huo circles Tai Bai, the general will die. The Shi school says: if Ying Huo approaches Tai Bai, there will be the loss of a subordinate general.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑從太白下，上抵太白，不主，軍急不戰；又曰熒惑正抵太白，不去，客將死。又曰熒惑摩太白下，破軍，主將死。又曰熒惑摩太白，有數萬人戰，軍敗，人主死。又曰太白貫熒惑，亡偏將。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑與太白相逢而斗，勝太白，破軍殺將，熒惑破，人主弱，名聞海內。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑與金斗，陰不制，又曰有戰兵，兵不在外，為在內。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars follows the planet Venus and moves upward to meet it, the ruler will be unable to act independently, and military affairs will be urgent but no battle will take place; it also says that if Mars directly confronts Venus without moving away, the leading general from a distant army will die; it also says that if Mars rubs against Venus from below, the army will be defeated and the general will die; it also says that if Mars rubs against Venus, there will be a battle involving tens of thousands of troops, the army will be defeated, and the ruler will die; it also says that if Venus pierces through Mars, the subordinate generals will be lost. The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When Mars and Venus meet and clash, if Mars defeats Venus, the army will be destroyed and generals will be killed; if Venus defeats Mars, the ruler will be weak, yet his name will be known throughout the land. The "Wenyao Gou" says: When Mars and the planet Venus clash, it indicates that the yin forces are not restrained; it also says that there will be warfare, and if the troops are not stationed abroad, then the conflict will occur within the country.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉患帝永寧二年十月，熒惑太白斗於虛危，十二月，熒惑就太白於營室，初齊王礒定京教，因留輔政，遂專傲無君，是月，成都河間長沙王討之，礒又交戰攻焚宮闕。礒兵敗，夷滅又殺其兄上將軍實以下二十餘人也。）

The original commentary says: According to the Records of the Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Officials, in the second year of Yongning during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, the planet Mars and the planet Venus were in the mansion of Emptiness and the mansion of Rooftop, fighting with each other. In December, the planet Mars was again near the mansion of Encampment, close to the planet Venus. At that time, Prince Sima Jiong had pacified the chaos in the capital and thus remained to assist in government, becoming arrogant and tyrannical, disregarding the emperor. In this month, Prince Chengdu, Prince Hejian and Prince Changsha jointly attacked him, and Sima Jiong fought against them, attacking and burning the palace gates. Sima Jiong was defeated and executed, and his elder brother, General of the Upper Army Sima Shi, and more than twenty others were also killed.

巫咸曰：“太白與熒惑斗，不出其年，兵起。又曰太白與熒惑春斗，歲旱，夏斗，不出其年，易相；科斗，不出其年兵起；冬斗，不出二年，有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與太白相過而斗，不勝，有憂。又曰太白與熒惑斗，大將戰死。又曰熒惑與太白斗，諸侯王有喪，若離國，若多口舌，有內疾，人民尚伐，好戰，殺大將，歲大飢。又曰熒惑與太白斗，不出三年，易相。又曰春太白與熒惑斗，亡君之戒也。夏斗，不出三年，名山破；冬斗，不出其年，有大喪；一曰女喪。”

Wu Xian said: If Tai Bai and Ying Huo clash, war will break out within the same year. He also said that if Tai Bai and Ying Huo clash in spring, there will be drought that year; if they clash in summer, the prime minister will be replaced within the same year; if they clash in autumn, war will break out within the same year; if they clash in winter, there will be mourning within two years. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Ying Huo and Tai Bai pass each other and clash, the side that cannot win will suffer misfortune. It also said that when Tai Bai and Ying Huo clash, the general will die in battle. It also said that when Ying Huo and Tai Bai clash, the dukes and kings will have mourning, or they will leave their fiefs, or there will be much verbal disputes, or there will be internal illness; the people will favor warfare and fighting, the general will be killed, and there will be great famine that year. It also said that when Ying Huo and Tai Bai clash, the prime minister will be replaced within three years. Another saying said that when Tai Bai and Ying Huo clash in spring, it is a warning of a fallen king; if they clash in summer, there will be collapse of great mountains within three years; if they clash in winter, there will be great mourning that year; another saying said it refers to the mourning of a woman.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守太白北，太子終若皇子終；守其南，劈人死若季子死；居東西，亦然，若相死，皆期三月。”《荊州占》曰：“太白與熒惑相守，其間容斧，血滿其野；其間容矛，有血流，久相守，血盈滿。”

Xi Meng said: If the planet Mars stops and stays to the north of the planet Venus, it indicates the death of the crown prince or a prince; if it stops and stays to the south of Venus, it indicates the death of a favored person or a young son (the original text may have mistakenly read '劈人' as '嬖人'). If Mars stays to the east or west, the interpretation is the same, or it may indicate the death of a prime minister, and the event should occur within three months. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Venus and Mars mutually stop and stay, and the space between the two stars can hold a斧头 (axe), it indicates blood spilling across the fields; if it can hold a spear, it indicates blood flowing; if they remain in mutual stoppage for a long time, blood will flow all over the ground.

劉向《洪範傳》曰：“火水合於斗，不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”（按《洪範天文星辰變占》曰：漢景帝初元年十一月，熒惑與辰星合於斗，後三年，吳王濞變，七國同舉兵反漢，太尉周亞夫敗之。）

Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: When the planet of violence (Mars) and the planet of metal (Mercury) conjoin in the Dipper mansion, it is not appropriate to undertake any enterprise, and if military action is taken, calamity will surely follow. The commentary in the original text says: According to the "Hong Fan Tian Wen Xing Chen Bian Zhan," in the first month of the first year of Emperor Jing of Han's Chuyuan era, the planet of violence (Mars) and the planet of metal (Mercury) conjoined in the Dipper mansion; three years later, Prince Liu Bi of Wu rebelled, and seven states rose up together to rebel against the Han dynasty, and General Zhou Yafu defeated them.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與辰星秋合，有兵；冬合，有喪。又曰熒惑與免星合東方，免星白而火，兵在外，削地為和；又曰熒惑與辰星合，大水交行，其國不可以先起兵；合於東方，臣謀其主；合於西方，不出九十日，其國宮中有事。又曰熒惑與辰星合於尾、箕，其國大臣凶；春復為兵，秋冬為喪，凶。”郗萌曰：“熒惑與辰星在尾、箕相近，天下將大赦。又曰熒惑與辰星處虛北，冬雷雨水流，忌甲子。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars and the planet Jupiter conjoin in autumn, there will be military affairs; when they conjoin in winter, there will be mourning events. It also says that when Mars and Jupiter conjoin in the east, Jupiter appears white and Mars is nearby, indicating that armies are stationed outside the country, and the country will need to cede territory for peace. It further states that when Mars and Jupiter conjoin, there will be great floods, and the country corresponding to that area should not initiate military action first. If they conjoin in the east, ministers will plot against their sovereign; if they conjoin in the west, within ninety days, there will be an incident in the palace of that country. It also says that when Mars and Jupiter conjoin in the Tail Mansion and the Winnowing Basket Mansion, the ministers of that area will suffer misfortune; in spring, it indicates military affairs, while in autumn and winter, it indicates mourning events, all of which are ominous. Xi Meng says: When Mars and Jupiter approach each other near the Tail Mansion and the Winnowing Basket Mansion, the whole country will soon issue a general pardon. It also says that when Mars and Jupiter are located north of the Emptiness Mansion, there will be thunder and rain in winter, with great flooding, and one should avoid the Jiazi day.

石氏曰：“熒惑與辰星合，為水，必飢，舉事用兵有內亂。又曰熒惑與辰星相去三尺，大人當之；一曰天下大赦。又曰免星與熒惑會，冬為刑；他時為淬。（晉灼曰火入水故曰淬也。）其下之國，不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”（《天官書》曰：為喪。）甘氏曰：“免星干火星，雨雹；上即妨太子嬖人，下即妨太尉司馬。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星與熒惑合而相守，水火亂行，國有兵喪；若不，有兵，疾疫流行。”（按班固《天文志》曰：孝景五年四月乙巳，水火合於參，其年四月，梁孝王死。）

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence and the Star of grain meet, it indicates floods and certain famine, and any military action will lead to internal disorder. It also says that when the Malefic of violence and the Star of grain are three feet apart, the high-ranking person will bear the calamity; another view is that the whole country will be pardoned. It also says that when the Star of grain meets the Malefic of violence, in winter it indicates punishment and execution, and in other seasons it indicates 'quiu'. The original commentary cites Jin Zhuo's saying: Fire entering water is called quiu. The country corresponding to that region should not take action, and military campaigns will certainly bring disaster. The original commentary also says: The Book of Celestial Officials thinks this indicates death. The Gan school says: When the Star of grain is afflicted by the Malefic of violence, it indicates hail; above, it harms the crown prince and the favored person; below, it harms the Grand Marshal and the Commander of the Army. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Star of grain and the Malefic of violence meet and stay together, it indicates chaos of water and fire, and there will be military conflict and death in the country; if not, there will also be military affairs and an outbreak of plague. The original commentary says: According to Ban Gu's Records of the Han Dynasty, in the fifth year of Emperor Jing of Han, on the fourth day of the fourth month, the Star of grain and the Malefic of violence met in the Three Stars mansion; that year in the fourth month, Prince Liang died.

《荊州占》曰：“免星與熒惑合，其國大旱，赤地千里；又為飢，將行舉事大敗，有覆軍殺將。”陳卓曰：“免星與熒惑合，其國主出走。又曰熒惑所在，辰星從之，伐者利，有功；辰星所在，熒惑從之，伐者不利。又曰熒惑與辰星相過，是謂不祥，不可用兵，命曰自伐。一曰野有兵，不戰；兵在外，亦罷。”《文耀鉤》曰：“辰星牴觸熒惑，展轉復離而合，河漂山，天雨蛤，國主哭於宮。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the star Chen Xing (Morning Star) and the planet Fenhuo (Red Star) meet, the country corresponding to that area will suffer a great drought, with vast tracts of land without rain; it also indicates famine, and generals who go out on military campaigns will suffer great defeat, possibly leading to the complete destruction of the army and the death of the general. Chen Zhuo says: When Chen Xing and Fenhuo meet, the ruler of the corresponding country will flee. He also says that if Fenhuo is at a certain position and Chen Xing follows it, it is favorable to launch an attack and achieve military success; but if Chen Xing is at a certain position and Fenhuo follows it, it is unfavorable to launch an attack. He also says that when Fenhuo and Chen Xing pass each other, this is considered an omen of misfortune, and it is not advisable to engage in warfare, called "self-attack," equivalent to attacking oneself. Another view is that there are troops in the open field but no battle occurs; if the army is stationed outside the country, they will cease hostilities. The book Wen Yao Gou says: When Chen Xing collides with Fenhuo, and they separate and then reunite, it indicates the river Huanghe will overflow, mountains will collapse, and clams and oysters will fall from the sky, and the ruler will weep bitterly in the palace.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑薄辰星，抵之、貫之，殺偏將。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑與水斗，則以暴敗。”班固《天文志》曰：“火與水合，為北軍角。”《荊州占》曰：“火與水合斗，女子為天下害。又曰熒惑與辰星斗，相毀敗也，則有外後，不即內亂其國，斗東方，臣伐王；斗西方，期九十日，強國；宮中有亂。又曰熒惑與辰星斗；辰星滅，將死；又曰熒惑與辰星合斗，其國內亂，有兵起，其分凶。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: If the Malefic of violence approaches the star of water and confronts it, pierces through it, it indicates that a subordinate general will be killed. The book Wenyao Gou says: If the Malefic of violence and the star of water contend, it indicates failure and destruction due to cruelty. Ban Gu's Han Shu, Tianwen Zhi says: When the Malefic of violence and the star of water meet, it is an omen of conflict between northern armies. Zhongjiao Zhan also says: When fire and water meet and contend, it indicates that a woman will become a great threat to the world. It also says that when the Malefic of violence and the star of water contend, they damage each other, which indicates that the queen mother or concubine of the outer family will interfere in politics; if not, it indicates internal turmoil in the country. If they contend in the east, it indicates that ministers will attack the king; if they contend in the west, it indicates turmoil in the palace of a powerful country within ninety days. It also says that when the Malefic of violence and the star of water contend, if the star of water is obscured, it indicates the death of a general. It also says that when the Malefic of violence and the star of water meet and contend, the country will experience internal turmoil, military actions will arise, and there will be calamity in that region.

石氏曰：“太白乾填星，敗殃五穀不熟，惟飢之亡。”《文耀鉤》曰：“填星與金合，則為白衣會。”《春秋緯》曰：“填星與金合，為水。”石氏曰：“地侯與太白合，所合之宿，國亡地。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與太白合，太白在填星南，名曰牝牡，年穀熟；在填星北，歲偏無飢。”又曰：“填星與太白合一舍，太白在上，填星在下，名曰並光，逆也，不出三年，有兵民流。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tai Bai (the planet of metal) approaches the planet Tian Xing (the planet of earth), it indicates destruction and disaster, with poor harvests of grain, leading to famine and death. The Wen Yao Gou says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, there will be mourning events with people wearing white clothes. The Chun Qiu Wei says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, there will be floods. The Shi school says: When the planet Di Hou (another name for Tian Xing) meets Tai Bai, the country corresponding to the constellation where they meet will lose its territory. The Jing Zhou Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet, if Tai Bai is to the south of Tian Xing, this is called "Pine and Male," and the harvest of grain will be good; if Tai Bai is to the north of Tian Xing, this year there will be some areas suffering from hunger. It also says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet in the same constellation, with Tai Bai above and Tian Xing below, this is called "parallel light," indicating chaos and disorder. Within three years, there will be warfare and the people will be displaced.

又曰：“填星與太白合，在金北，去之七寸，母子同光，義讓而年，年穀登，人主壽。”又曰：“填星太白合，相守，為兵飢，疾疫，不出三年，有流民。”石氏曰：“填星與太白，俱入營室中，天下且有謀兵。”郗萌曰：“填星與太白合斗，光芒相接，相為亂。”甘氏曰：“太白與填星合，為疾，為內兵。”

It is also said that when the planet Filling Star joins with the planet Tai Bai, and the Filling Star is north of the Tai Bai, with a distance of seven inches, this is called "mother and child shining together," indicating that people uphold righteousness, are humble and yielding, and have a good harvest, with abundant grain. The ruler will live a long life. It is also said that when the Filling Star and Tai Bai join and mutually guard each other, there will be military conflicts, famine, and widespread disease, and within three years, there will be wandering people. The Shi school says: when the Filling Star and Tai Bai enter the Encampment Mansion together, the whole country will have plots for military action. Xi Meng says: when the Filling Star and Tai Bai join and fight, their light touches each other, indicating mutual rebellion. The Gan school says: when Tai Bai and Filling Star join, there will be disease and internal military disturbances.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝光熙元年十二月癸未，太白犯填星，是後河間王為東海王越所殺，明年正月，東海王越殺諸葛玖等，五月汲桑馮嵩，殺東燕王，八月苟= 大破汲桑。穆帝永和十二年七月丁卯，太白犯填星，在柳七度，其年八月，桓溫破姚襄於伊水定周之地。）

The original commentary states: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the first year of Guangxi of Emperor Huai of Jin, on the Guiwei day of the twelfth lunar month, the bright star invaded the planet of filling; afterwards, the Prince of Hejian was killed by the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue. In the next year, the first lunar month, the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue, executed Dugejiu and others; in the fifth lunar month, Jisang and Fengsong killed the Prince of Dongyan; in the eighth lunar month, Gouxi defeated Jisang (the name here is damaged, only a symbol remains). In the twelfth year of Yonghe of Emperor Mu of Jin, on the Dingmao day of the seventh lunar month, the bright star invaded the planet of filling, located at the seventh degree of the Willow Mansion; in this same eighth lunar month, Huan Wen defeated Yao Xiang at the Yi River, pacifying the area of the former Zhou dynasty's capital.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與填星合，填星色蒼，為眷多死，亦為兵，黃為旱。”又曰：“太白在填星北一尺，女主不用事；在填星南一尺，女主死。”又曰：“太白環繞填星，將治兵，必增土。”焦延壽曰：“填星與太白俱出，國得地。”《荊州占》曰：“填星、太白相近，數十日間不相去，有奸太后者。”《文耀鉤》曰：“主任恣，則太白觸填星。”《荊州占》曰：“填星干太白，水草木死。”《文耀鉤》曰：“太白觸填星，發大兵，相殘賊。”巫咸曰：“太白與填星斗，期九十日，其君憂，王者亡地，若有兵與喪，更立王公。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與太白合斗，臣謀主，有兵起，其國失地。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the star Tai Bai meets the star Tian Xing, if Tian Xing appears green, it indicates many relatives will die, and there will be military conflicts; if Tian Xing appears yellow, it indicates a drought. It also says: When Tai Bai is one chi north of Tian Xing, it indicates the female ruler cannot hold power; when Tai Bai is one chi south of Tian Xing, it indicates the death of the female ruler. It also says: When Tai Bai circles around Tian Xing, it indicates the need to prepare for military defense and definitely to reinforce earthworks and fortifications. Jiao Yanshou says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai appear together, it indicates the country will gain territory. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai are very close, and remain together for dozens of days, it indicates someone is conspiring with the empress dowager. Wen Yao Gou says: When the king is capricious and indulgent, Tai Bai will offend Tian Xing. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing offends Tai Bai, it indicates the death of aquatic plants and trees. Wen Yao Gou says: When Tai Bai offends Tian Xing, it indicates a large-scale military campaign, with mutual destruction. Wu Xian says: When Tai Bai and Tian Xing fight, the period of the event is ninety days, the ruler of that region will have worries, the king will lose territory, or there will be military conflicts and funerals, and a new prince or minister will be established. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Tai Bai meet and fight, it indicates ministers plotting against the king, military conflicts will arise, and the country will lose territory.

《荊州占》曰：“填星干辰星，冬虹、雷行、夏寒、雨雹、隕霜。”甘氏曰：“水乾土，夏寒而雨雪，妨女主。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星犯填星，夏多寒霜，秋多淫雨，女主見放；一曰女主有憂。”石氏曰：“地侯與免星合於東方，免星色白而大，天下有兵於外，裂地相賂為和。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: The planet Tianming (Fill Star) conflicting with the planet Chenxing (Morning Star) indicates that there will be a rainbow in winter and thunder in winter, cold in summer, hail and frost falling. The Gan school says: Water conflicting with earth indicates cold in summer and snowfall, which harms the female ruler. The Zhongjiao Divination also says: The planet Chenxing conflicting with the planet Tianming indicates many cold frosts in summer and continuous rain in autumn, the female ruler being exiled; another interpretation is that the female ruler has worries. The Shi school says: The planet Tianming (Fill Star), representing the earth, and the planet Chenxing (Morning Star), representing the rabbit, meeting in the east, with the Chenxing appearing white and large in size, indicates military conflicts occurring outside the country, requiring the offering of land to seek peace.

《五行傳》曰：“漢文帝后七年十一月戊戌，填星、辰星合於危，齊分；占曰：為壅沮，若得水，為懷所當之，國不可舉事，用兵必受其殃，將有覆軍。後三年，齊王舉兵應吳楚，吳楚敗而自殺之應也。”《天官書》曰：“土與水合，為壅斗，有覆軍，其國不可舉事；出亡地，入得地。”（謂所出宿所入宿也。）又曰：“土與水合，則變謀而更事。”

The "Transmission of the Five Phases" states: In the seventh year of the later period of Emperor Wen of Han, in the eleventh month on the Wuxu day, the planet of filling and the planet of the morning star met at the mansion of the rooftop. This is the territory corresponding to the state of Qi. The divination text says: This is called "obstructing and blocking." If it coincides with water vapor, the area it indicates will be flooded. The country should not initiate any actions; if it goes to war, it will surely suffer calamity, and there will be a complete defeat. Three years later, the king of Qi raised an army to support Wu and Chu. Wu and Chu's armies were defeated, and the king of Qi committed suicide, which was the fulfillment of this prophecy. The "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When the planet of filling and the planet of water meet, it is called "obstructing and blocking," which indicates a complete defeat. If it occurs in the country, it will lose territory; if it enters the country, it will gain territory. The original commentary says: This refers to the mansion it leaves and the mansion it enters. It also says: When earth and water meet, there will be a change in plans and a change in the affairs to be carried out.

《文耀鉤》曰：“免星與填星合，內亂飢，勿用戰。”石氏曰：“浼星與填星合，為壅沮，所當之國，不可舉事，用兵必受其殃。”甘氏曰：“免星志填星合，有敗軍，死將。”《海中占》曰：“辰星與填星合，在虛中，秋水出。”（案檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武太元五年七月丙子，辰星犯填星，冬十月，丹陽、平陵、義興水災，六年六月，揚、荊州，江大水。）郗萌曰：“曰：“辰星與填星合，有陰謀者。”又曰：“辰星與填星合虛中，齊國地動。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the star of exemption (Chen star) and the filling star meet, it indicates internal disorder and famine, and one should not engage in warfare. The Shi school says: When the star of exemption (also written as the star of浼) and the filling star meet, it is called obstruction and stagnation, and the country that corresponds to this should not undertake any actions, and warfare will certainly bring calamity. The Gan school says: When the star of exemption and the filling star meet, it indicates defeat of the army and death of generals. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet, and their position is in the mansion of Emptiness, it indicates a great flood in autumn. The original book's note says: According to Tan Daoluan's Jin Yang Chou, in the fifth year of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's Taoyuan era, seventh month, on the Bingzi day, the Chen star invaded the filling star; in the winter of the same year, in the tenth month, there was flooding in Danyang, Pingling, and Yixing areas; in the sixth month of the next year, there was a great flood along the Yangtze River in Yangzhou and Jingzhou. Xi Meng says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet, it indicates someone plotting secretly. It also says: When the Chen star and the filling star meet in the mansion of Emptiness, it indicates an earthquake in the state of Qi.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星出而與填星會，主令不行。”石氏曰：“辰星填星會者，國有土功田役，非法奸臣所為，誅之吉。”郗萌曰：“填星所在，辰星從之，伐者不利。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星所在，填星從之，伐者利，有功。”又曰：“填星與辰星為雌雄，俱入之宿，其國得地；俱出之宿，其國失地。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星與浼星；斗東方，臣代君斗西方，期九十日，強國，宮中有亂事。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與辰星合斗，軍在外，必戰；無軍，為內亂。”又曰：“辰星與填星合斗，其國有兵，水土相從，關梁不通，其分亂。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the planet Chen Xing appears and meets the planet Tian Xing, the ruler's decrees will not be implemented. The Shi school says: When Chen Xing and Tian Xing meet, there will be earth and wood construction projects and agricultural labor, which are not in accordance with the law, caused by corrupt ministers. If these ministers are executed, it will be auspicious. Xi Meng says: When Tian Xing is in a certain position and Chen Xing follows it, it is unfavorable for military campaigns. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Chen Xing is in a certain position and Tian Xing follows it, it is favorable for military campaigns and can lead to military achievements. It also says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing are divided into male and female, and they enter the same constellation together, the country corresponding to that constellation will gain territory; if they leave the same constellation together, the country corresponding to that constellation will lose territory. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing fight in the east, it indicates that a minister will replace the ruler; when they fight in the west, it indicates a period of ninety days, and there will be disturbances in the palace of a powerful country. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing meet and fight, if there are armies outside the country, there will certainly be battles; if there are no armies, it indicates internal disorder. It also says: When Tian Xing and Chen Xing meet and fight, the country corresponding to the constellation where they meet will have military affairs, with water and earth following each other, and the pass and bridge will be blocked, leading to disorder in that country.

石氏曰：“太白乾辰星西方，有人；東方，大虛有殃，及匹夫。”甘氏曰：“辰星干太白，魚不為化。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東方，辰星出其下，謂在太白東方；太白出西方，辰星出其後，謂在太白西方；太白、辰星，以初出為先後。”又曰：“太白出東方，辰星亦出東方，太白先出，辰星後出，辰星上過太白而去，臣倍其主者，不出其年。”又曰：“太白、辰星，同日出於東方，東方有兵，同日出於西方，西方有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the star Tai Bai (the planet Venus) is in the west and interferes with Chen Xing (the planet Mercury), it indicates that someone will have troubles; if Tai Bai is in the east and interferes with Chen Xing, it indicates that there will be calamity in the area of the great emptiness, affecting common people. The Gan school says: When Chen Xing interferes with Tai Bai, it indicates that fish will be unable to reproduce. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Tai Bai appears in the east, and Chen Xing appears below it, it means Chen Xing is to the east of Tai Bai; when Tai Bai appears in the west, and Chen Xing appears behind it, it means Chen Xing is to the west of Tai Bai; Tai Bai and Chen Xing are distinguished by which appears first. It also says: When Tai Bai appears in the east and Chen Xing also appears in the east, if Tai Bai comes out first and Chen Xing comes out later, and Chen Xing passes over Tai Bai from above, it indicates that a minister will betray his sovereign, and this will not be verified in the same year. It also says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear on the same day in the east, there will be military affairs in the east; if they appear on the same day in the west, there will be military affairs in the west.

《天官書》曰：“辰星不出，太白為客，其出，太白為主人。”《荊州占》曰：“太白、辰星，更迭出入，以為主、客，太白出而辰星不出，太白為客，辰星出而太白不出，辰星為客；而金水俱不出，熒惑為客；無主人有兵，雖盛不合戰。”《黃帝兵法》曰：“太白與辰星俱出東方，西方國大敗；俱出西方，東方國大敗。若客、主人俱了，軍在東方，東方軍敗；在西方，西方軍敗；言其表面軍也，在表者，不善不獲，已軍堅守可也。”

The Tian Gao Shu says: If the planet Chén Xīng does not appear, then the planet Tai Bai will act as the distant guest; if Chén Xīng appears, then Tai Bai will act as the defending host. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: When Tai Bai and Chén Xīng alternate in their appearances, one can determine who is the host and who is the guest: if Tai Bai appears and Chén Xīng does not, then Tai Bai is the guest; if Chén Xīng appears and Tai Bai does not, then Chén Xīng is the guest; if neither the planet of metal nor the planet of water appear, then the planet of fire will be considered the guest. If there is only a guest and no host, even though there are armies, the strength of the army will not lead to battle. The Huang Di Bing Fa says: If Tai Bai and Chén Xīng both appear in the east, the western country will suffer a great defeat; if they both appear in the west, the eastern country will suffer a great defeat. If both the guest and the host are clearly defined, and the army is in the east, the eastern army will be defeated; if the army is in the west, the western army will be defeated—this refers to exposed armies. Those in exposed positions, if not skilled in warfare, will gain nothing, and their own army should remain in defense without engaging.

石氏曰：“辰星與太白俱出東方，皆赤而角、倍，海國大敗，中國大勝；其與太白俱出西方，皆赤而角，中國大敗，倍海國大勝。（倍海國，夷秋也。）一曰皆黑色，水國利。”《荊州占》曰：“太白、辰星俱郵東方，俱出西方，客主相見，有軍必戰，無軍起軍。”又曰：“太白出，辰星右走居太白前，主人小利，逐入之主大利；太白出，辰星左走居太白前，客小利，逐入之客大利；留有兵，兵罷。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Chen Xing and Tai Bai appear together in the east, both red with a halo, it indicates a great defeat for the countries by the sea, and a great victory for the Central Plains. If they appear together in the west, both red with a halo, it indicates a great defeat for the Central Plains and a great victory for the countries by the sea. The original commentary says: the countries by the sea refer to the夷狄. Another view is that if both stars appear black, the country associated with water will benefit. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear together in the east or together in the west, it indicates that the host and the guest meet, and if there are armies, there will certainly be a battle; even without armies, there will be military action. It also says: if Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing moves to the right ahead of Tai Bai, the defending side gains a small advantage, while the attacking side gains a great advantage. If Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing moves to the left ahead of Tai Bai, the distant guest gains a small advantage, while the attacking guest gains a great advantage. If both stars remain stationary, even if there are military matters, they will cease.

又曰：“太白出辰星北，客利；辰星出太白北，主大利；並出東方利，以西伐；並出西方利，以東伐。”又曰：“太白出，辰星居其後，二十日兵起；辰星居其前，十五日兵罷；居其右，去之三尺，有軍必戰，客將死；居其左，兵闕一人吏死。”又曰：“辰星居太白前，則兵罷；居後，則兵起；居陽，則利客，居陰，則利主人。”石氏曰：“辰星居太白前，旬三日，軍罷；出太白後，兵起。”

It is also said that when the star Tai Bai appears north of the star Chen Xing, a distant army will be advantageous; when Chen Xing appears north of Tai Bai, the defending general will have great advantage. If both stars appear together in the east, it is favorable for waging war to the west; if they appear together in the west, it is favorable for waging war to the east. It is also said that when Tai Bai appears and Chen Xing is behind it, an army should be mobilized within twenty days; if Chen Xing is ahead of Tai Bai, the army should disband within fifteen days; if Chen Xing is to the right of Tai Bai, with a distance of three feet, there will certainly be a battle, and the commander of the guest army will die; if Chen Xing is to the left of Tai Bai, the defending army will suffer losses, and one military officer will die. It is also said that when Chen Xing is ahead of Tai Bai, the army should disband; when Chen Xing is behind Tai Bai, the army should be mobilized; when Chen Xing is on the southern side (the yang side), it is favorable for the guest army; when Chen Xing is on the northern side (the yin side), it is favorable for the defending army. The Shi school says that when Chen Xing appears thirteen days before Tai Bai, the army will disband; when Chen Xing appears after Tai Bai, the army should be mobilized.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星遇，太白避之，主人畏客；又曰天下有兵。太白在東方，辰星居其前而不去，十五日，若二十日而入，陰兵滅；不，大戰；辰星去，兵罷。又曰天下有兵。辰星在西方，居太白之前，十五日若二十日而入，陽兵滅，客去。”又曰：“天下無兵，辰星太白俱出西方，辰星居太白之前，相近，間可含劍，（蘇林曰：含音函，函容也，其間可容一劍也。）在酉北，陰國有兵謀；在酉南，陽國有兵謀；其不相近，兵官有滅者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star Tai Bai meets the star Chen Xing, if Tai Bai yields to Chen Xing, it indicates that the ruler of the territory fears the distant guest; it also indicates that there will be military conflicts throughout the realm. If Tai Bai is in the east and Chen Xing is ahead of it without departing, and after fifteen or twenty days it disappears, it indicates that the forces of the Yin side are destroyed; if it does not disappear, there will be a great battle; if Chen Xing departs, then the war will cease. It also says that there will be military conflicts throughout the realm. If Chen Xing is in the west and is ahead of Tai Bai, and after fifteen or twenty days it disappears, it indicates that the forces of the Yang side are destroyed and the guest army retreats. It also says: When there is no military conflict in the realm, Chen Xing and Tai Bai appear together in the west, with Chen Xing ahead of Tai Bai, and the two stars are very close, with a gap that can fit a sword. The original commentary cites Su Lin saying: "Hán" is read as "Hán", meaning to contain, indicating that the space between the two stars can fit a sword. If the two stars are located to the north of the You position, the territory of the Yin side has military plans; if they are located to the south of the You position, the territory of the Yang side has military plans; if the two stars are not close, it indicates that there will be executions among the military officials.

郗萌曰：“太白辰星在酉北，北國之事也；在酉南，南國之事也；正在酉，則中國之事也；正在卯，則陽國之事也。”《荊州占》曰：“有軍，太白辰星俱出一方，同面異宿，客主人來會，敵軍雖近，勢未戰，宿乃逐，不同合，各自罷。”又曰：“有軍，太白出東方，辰星出西方；若太白出西方，辰星出東方，格野雖有兵，軍不戰。”石氏曰：“辰星出而與太白不相從，雖有軍，不戰。”

Xi Meng said: Tai Bai and Chen Xing in the north of You position indicate affairs of the northern country; in the south of You position, affairs of the southern country; directly at You position, affairs of the central country; directly at Mao position, affairs of the Yang Fang country. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when there is an army, Tai Bai and Chen Xing appear in the same direction, facing the same way but residing in different star mansions, indicating that both sides will come to meet; although the enemy is close, the battle has not yet begun; when the two stars follow each other in the mansions and no longer meet, both sides will cease hostilities. It also says: when there is an army, Tai Bai appears in the east while Chen Xing appears in the west, or Tai Bai appears in the west while Chen Xing appears in the east, then although there are troops on the battlefield, there will be no battle. The Shi school says: when Chen Xing appears but does not follow Tai Bai, even if there is an army, there will be no battle.

《海中占》曰：“辰星與太早合東方，天下兵大起，盛而不戰，裂地相賂為利。”甘氏曰：“辰星與太白合，為變謀，為兵憂。”（班固《天文志》曰：孝景元年正月癸酉，金水合於婺女，其三年，吳楚、膠西、膠東、藺川、濟南、趙七國反，軍敗散走。又《宋書天文志》曰：孝武大明三年四月，金水合於西方，時竟陵王謀反，遣羽林軍攻戰，其應也。）

The book "Sea Divination" says: When the water star and the bright star meet in the east, the whole country will start large-scale military campaigns. Although the military strength is strong, there will be no actual fighting, and both sides will exchange territories to seek benefits. The Gan school says: When the water star and the bright star meet, it indicates a change in plans and worries about military affairs. The original book's marginal notes cite Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records" which says: In the first month of the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, on the Guiyou day, the bright star and the water star met in the Girl mansion; by the third year of Emperor Jing, the seven states of Wu, Chu, Jiao Xi, Jiao Dong, Zi Chuan, Jiao Nian, and Zhao rebelled, and their armies failed and scattered. It also cites the "Book of Song · Astronomical Records" which says: In the fourth month of the third year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty, the bright star and the water star met in the west; at that time, Prince Jingling plotted a rebellion, and the court sent the Yu Lin army to attack, which was the fulfillment of this prediction.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星相去二尺若一尺，破軍殺將；其從前，大病；從旁，小病；與太白相薄，戰其先起兵，凶。”又曰：“辰星與太白不相近，三四尺於東方，辰星二十日不入，至三十日，東南國有兵，不戰；期至春、夏，有兵。”又曰：“辰星與太白不相近於西方，二十日至三十日，辰星不及，入西方，北國有兵。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star and the morning star are two feet or one foot apart, it indicates the vanguard star and the expenditure star will kill the general; if the morning star approaches the bright star from in front, it signifies a serious illness; if it approaches from the side, it indicates a minor illness; if they approach each other closely, then whoever initiates the military action will suffer misfortune. It also says: If the bright star and the morning star are three or four feet apart in the east but not close, and the morning star does not set for twenty days up to thirty days, it indicates military affairs in the southeast, but there will be no actual battle; the fulfillment of the prediction will occur in spring or summer, when the military conflict will arise. It also says: If the bright star and the morning star are far apart in the west but not close, and the morning star does not set for twenty days up to thirty days, it indicates military affairs in the north.

又曰：“辰星與太白相近，三尺四尺於西方，二十日至三十日，軍戰；辰星相遠，不戰。”郗萌曰：“辰星隨太白於西方，天下無兵兵起，期六月，天下有兵，客利；相去間可四尺，客兵愈相遠，不戰；兵軍未解，辰星退而罷。”郗萌曰：“太白與辰星合，邊有兵。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝殤元興元年，閏七月辛亥，水金二星合於一舍，其年遼東貊人反抄六縣發上谷漁陽右北平遼西馬桓討之。）

Another divination passage states: When the planet of water (Chen Xing) and the planet of metal (Tai Bai) are close to each other in the western sky, with a distance of three or four chi (one chi is approximately one degree), warfare will occur within twenty to thirty days. If the two stars are far apart, there will be no warfare. Xi Meng says: When the planet of water follows the planet of metal in the west, war will break out even in a time of peace, and this will happen within six months. If there is already warfare, the invading army will gain advantage. When the two stars are about four chi apart, the strength of the invading army increases. The farther apart the two stars are, the less likely warfare will occur. When the war is not yet over, if the planet of water retreats, the warfare will cease. Xi Meng also says: When the planet of metal and the planet of water are in conjunction, there will be warfare at the borders. (Note from the original text: According to司马彪's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records," in the first year of Yuan Xing of Emperor Shangdi of the Han dynasty, on the leap month of July, on the day of Xinhai, the planets of water and metal appeared in the same constellation. That year, the Mo people of Liao Dong rebelled, plundering six counties. The court mobilized troops from the four commanderies of Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi, known as the "Ma Huan" (which is actually the Huo Hu).)

石氏曰：“太白辰星聚於一舍，天下小旱，其下之國，必以重德致天下，守之三十日，不去，其草木皆傷，五穀滅亡。”陳卓曰：“太白與辰星舍箕，用事者坐之。”《洪範傳》曰：“金水合婺女，有變謀，為兵憂。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“太白辰星同守昴，不出百日，趙君為人所囚，大臣相戮。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tai Bai and the star Chen Xing gather in the same mansion, there will be a minor drought throughout the land; the country corresponding to this mansion will certainly be able to win the allegiance of the world through its great virtue. If these two stars remain in this mansion for thirty days without departing, then all grass and trees will be harmed, and the five grains will be completely ruined. Chen Zhuo says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing share the same mansion of Ji, the person in power will be punished for this. The "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: When the planet Jin Xing and the star Shui Xing meet in the mansion of Wu Nu (which is the same as Nu), there will be plots of turmoil, which is a worry of military disaster. The "Ershiba Xu Shan Jing Zhu" says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing both stay in the mansion of Mao, within a hundred days, the king of Zhao will be imprisoned, and the ministers will fight each other. This is because the territory corresponding to the mansion of Mao is Zhao, so the prophecy will be fulfilled in Zhao.

《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星合，太白為主人，辰星為客，則有兵戰，客勝；若辰星環繞太白，大戰，主人偏將死，抵太月，主人大將死。”又曰：“太白出，辰星從之，急，相去一尺，兵起大戰，光芒相及，若摩之其下有數萬人戰，客勝，主人軍敗。”又曰：“辰星隨太白於西方，環繞居抵，太白居酉北，則陰國起兵；居酉南，則陽國起兵；期六月，兵在外則戰，客利。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star Tai Bai and the star Chen Xing meet, Tai Bai represents the host side that is defending, and Chen Xing represents the guest army that is attacking, so there will be warfare, and the guest army will win. If Chen Xing circles around Tai Bai, there will be a great battle, and a subordinate general of the host side will die in battle. If Chen Xing confronts "Tai Yue" (which is likely a miswriting of "Tai Bai"), then the main general of the host side will die in battle. It also says: After the appearance of Tai Bai, if Chen Xing quickly follows and approaches closely, with a distance of one foot between them, there will be a great military campaign. If the light of the two stars touches each other, as if they are rubbing against each other, then there will be warfare involving tens of thousands of soldiers in the area corresponding to their positions, with the guest army winning and the host army retreating. It also says: If Chen Xing is in the west following Tai Bai, circling and approaching closely, and Tai Bai is located to the north of the position of You (the western direction), then the country of the Yin side will raise an army. If Tai Bai is located to the south of the position of You, then the country of the Yang side will raise an army. The predicted time is six months, and if the army is already stationed outside, there will be warfare, and the guest army will gain the advantage.

石氏曰：“辰星來，抵太白不去，將死，正旗所出，破軍，殺將，客勝。（《天官書》曰：不出，客亡地也。）視旗所指，以命破軍。”又曰：“辰星摩太白左，大戰，主人與吏死；摩太白右，萬人戰，主人勝。”《文耀鉤》曰：“辰星摩太白，入相傾。”（宗伯曰：摩，謂光相及也；傾，壞敗也。）巫咸曰：“太白與浼星斗，不出其年。國臣反。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the hour (Chen star) approaches the star of the bright warrior (Tai Bai) and remains close for a long time, the general will die. If the star's light resembles a flag, the side from which the flag's light originates will break the enemy's army and kill the enemy's general, and the guest army will win. (The original book's note citing the "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials" says: If the flag's light does not appear, the guest army will lose territory.) Observing the direction pointed by the flag's light determines which army will be defeated. It also says: When the Chen star rubs against the left side of the Tai Bai star, there will be a great battle, and the officials of the host side will die in battle; if it rubs against the right side of the Tai Bai star, there will be a battle involving tens of thousands, and the host side will win. The "Wen Yao Gou" says: When the Chen star rubs against the Tai Bai star, the chief minister who enters the court will be ruined and destroyed. (Original note: The "Zong Bo" says, "Mo" refers to the two stars' lights touching each other; "qing" means destruction and ruin.) Wu Xian says: When the Tai Bai star and the "Mai star" (i.e., the Chen star) fight, it will not be more than a year before the ministers of the country rebel.

《天官書》曰：“太白與辰星斗，必有大戰，客勝，主人與吏死。”《荊州占》曰：“太白與辰星合斗，有軍在外，大戰流血；兵在外，則有內亂。”《春秋緯》曰：“辰星圍太白，若與斗，大戰；過太白，間可容劍，小戰；出太白，右軍急；青角，兵憂；黑角，水流。”甘氏曰：“辰星與太白合斗，亢旱。”

The Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Celestial Officials says: When the star Tai Bai (Venus) and the star Chen Xing (Saturn) clash, there will certainly be a great battle, with the guest army winning and the officers of the host army dying in battle. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Tai Bai and Chen Xing meet and clash, if there are armies outside the country, there will be a great battle with bloodshed; at the same time, there will also be internal disturbances within the country. The Spring Orbit says: When Chen Xing circles around Tai Bai or clashes with it, there will be a great battle; if Chen Xing passes over Tai Bai, and the space between them is only as narrow as a single sword, there will be a small-scale battle; if Chen Xing emerges from outside Tai Bai, then the right wing of the army will be in danger. If the stars emit a green glow, it indicates military worries; if they emit a black glow, there will be great flooding. The Gan school says: When Chen Xing and Tai Bai meet and clash, there will be a severe drought.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星與太白相逢而斗，辰星不勝，燕、趙、代有憂。”又曰：“辰星與太白斗，其分有反臣，期不出三年。”又曰：“辰星與太白斗，太白分散，客軍勝；秦國有憂。若辰星分散，主人軍勝，燕、代有憂。”又曰：“太白環繞辰星，若與太白牴觸，一尺容劍，破軍殺將，主人勝。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Chén Xīng (Venus) meets and fights with Tàibái (Mars), Chén Xīng cannot win, and the regions of Yān, Zhào, and Dài will suffer calamity. It also says: When Chén Xīng and Tàibái fight, there will be a rebellious minister in the region corresponding to their positions, and the time of the event will not exceed three years. It further says: When Chén Xīng and Tàibái fight, if Tàibái's light disperses, the guest army will win, and the state of Qín will suffer calamity—since Tàibái's region corresponds to Qín. If Chén Xīng's light disperses, the host army will win, and the regions of Yān and Dài will suffer calamity. It also says: When Tàibái circles around Chén Xīng, or when the two stars clash, and they are one chi apart, with only a single sword fitting between them, this indicates the enemy army will be defeated and the enemy general will be killed, and the host army will win.

石氏曰：“免星入太白中，五日而出，反入而上出，破軍殺將，客勝；下出，客亡地三百里。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星入太白中復出，有君死。”又曰：“太白守辰星，其國君死。”又曰：“辰星從太白，相守，其間可含劍，有數萬人戰其下。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the constellation 'Mian' (another name for the star 'Chen') enters the light of the star 'Tai Bai', and five days later exits; if it enters again and exits from above, it indicates the enemy army will be defeated and their general killed, and the guest army will win; if it exits from below, the guest army will lose land of three hundred li. The 'Jingzhou Divination' says: When the star 'Chen' enters the light of 'Tai Bai' and then exits, there will be the death of a king. It also says: When 'Tai Bai' stays near 'Chen', the king of the corresponding region will die. It also says: When 'Chen' follows 'Tai Bai', and the two stars guard each other, with the space between them only able to fit a single sword, there will be a battle involving tens of thousands of soldiers in the corresponding region.

石氏曰：“歲星，他名曰攝提；一名重華；一名應星；一名經星。”《天官書》曰：“歲星一名紀星；又曰歲星；廟也。”《春秋緯》曰：“春精靈威仰神為歲星體，東方青龍之宿。”石氏曰：“歲星，木之精也，位在東方，青帝之子，歲行一次，十二年一周天，與太歲相應，故曰歲星。人主之象，主仁，主義，主德，主大司農，主次相，其國吳、齊，齊春日，甲乙其辰，寅卯所在之邦，有福。”

The Shi school says: The star of the year (which is Jupiter) is also called "She Ti", "Chong Hua", "Ying Xing", and "Jing Xing". The "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials" says: The star of the year is also called "Ji Xing", which is also called the star of the year. It is a star that represents the ancestral temples in the heavens. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: The vital energy of spring and the Eastern Emperor "Ling Wei Yang" deity transforms into the form of the star of the year, belonging to the seven stars of the Azure Dragon in the East. The Shi school says: The star of the year is condensed from the vital energy of wood, located in the East, and is the son of the God of the East. It travels through one "zhi" (one of the twelve divisions of the Yellow Path, such as Xing Ji and Xuan Xiao) each year, and completes a full circle around the sky in twelve years, corresponding one by one with the heavenly official known as the Great Year. Therefore, it is called the "star of the year". It symbolizes the sovereign, governing benevolence, righteousness, and virtue. In terms of officials, it corresponds to the Grand Minister of Agriculture and the deputy prime minister. The states it governs are Wu and Qi, the season it governs is spring, the day stems it corresponds to are Jia and Yi, and the earthly branches are Yin and Mao. The state where the star of the year is located will be prosperous.

石氏曰：“歲星主顏貌怒、喜，意所欲施行。”《合誠圖》曰：“歲星主含德。”《洪範五行傳》曰：“歲星者，於五常為仁、恩、德、孝、慈，於五事為貌、威、儀、舉、動，仁虧貌失，逆春令，則歲星為災。（案班固《天文志》曰：逆春令傷木氣，則罰見歲星。）雖主福德，見惡逆則怒，為殃更重。”

The Shi school says: The star of years governs a person's appearance and expression, whether they are angry or happy, and the matters they intend to carry out. The "Hecheng Tu" says: The star of years governs the hidden virtue. The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: Among the five constants, the star of years corresponds to benevolence, kindness, virtue, filial piety, and compassion; among the five affairs mentioned in the "Shangshu · Hongfan," it corresponds to appearance, authority, ceremony, demeanor, and movement. If benevolence and virtue are lacking, and appearance is improper, violating the proper policies of spring, the star of years will manifest calamities. (Original book note: According to Ban Gu's "Hanshu · Tianwen Zhi," violating the spring season harms the wood element, and the punishment is manifested through the star of years.) Although the star of years governs virtue and fortune, whenever it encounters evil and rebellious matters, it becomes angry, and the calamities it brings are even more severe.

《淮南子》曰：“東方木也，木入地而生也。其神太皞，（天神五帝，太皞主東方。）其佐勾芒，執規而治春，（規者，圓也）其神為歲星，其獸為青龍，其音角，其日甲乙。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星主春，農官也；其神上為歲星，主東維。”又曰：“主歲五穀。”又曰：“歲星主司天下諸侯人君之過。”《天鏡》曰：“歲星主春，蒼帝之子，為天佈德。”

The *Huainanzi: Astronomical Treatise* says: The East belongs to wood, and grass and trees take root in the soil before they sprout. The deity of the East is Taihao (the original note says: among the five deities of heaven, Taihao governs the East). Assisting him is the official of wood, Goumang, who holds a compass and governs spring (the original note says: compass means circle). In the sky, it corresponds to the planet Jupiter, the corresponding divine beast is the Azure Dragon, the corresponding five tones is the Jue tone, and the corresponding day stems are Jia and Yi. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: Jupiter governs spring, and is the heavenly agricultural official; its deity corresponds to Jupiter, governing the East dimension. It also says: it governs the harvest of the five grains in a year. It also says: Jupiter oversees the examination of the faults of the feudal lords and the sovereign. The *Tianjing* says: Jupiter governs spring, is the son of the苍帝 (Emperor of the Azure), and represents heaven in bestowing virtue and blessings.

石氏曰：“歲星所在之國，不可伐，可以伐人。”甘氏曰：“邦將有福，歲星留居之。”《淮南子》曰：“歲星之所居，五穀豐昌；其對為沖，歲乃有殃。”《荊州占》曰：“曰：“歲星所居之宿，其國樂，所去宿，其國飢；又曰所從野，有慶；所去，起兵。又曰：歲星居交順常，其國不可以加兵，可以伐無道之國，伐之必克。又曰歲星所留之舍，其國五穀成熟。”石氏曰：“歲星，君之象也。”《石氏占》曰：“歲星象主，色慾明潤。”

The Shi school says: The country corresponding to the position of the star of years (Sui Xing) cannot be attacked, but instead one can use its power to attack others. The Gan school says: When a state is about to receive blessings, the star of years will stay in its corresponding area. The Huainanzi says: Where the star of years resides, the five grains will be abundant; the opposite direction is called "Chong," and that direction will suffer calamity in that year. The Jingzhou Divination says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years resides will have peace and happiness; the country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years has left will suffer famine. It also says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years moves to will have joy, while the country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years leaves will have military action. It also says: When the star of years moves smoothly and conforms to the usual course, the country corresponding to its position cannot be attacked, but one can use its power to attack an unjust state, and the attack will surely succeed. It also says: The country corresponding to the star mansion where the star of years stays will have matured grains. The Shi school says: The star of years symbolizes the ruler. The Shi Divination says: Since the star of years symbolizes the ruler, its color should be bright and moist.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“歲星以上元甲子歲，十一甲子朔旦冬至夜半甲子時，與日月五星俱起於牛前五度，順二十八宿右行，十二歲而一周天。”（案曆法歲星一見，三百六十三日而伏，三十五日一千三百三十分日之一千一百六十二奇四十五復見如初，一終三百九十八日一千三百四十分日之一千一百六十二奇四十五，眾家之說皆云十二年而一周天，唯此微為疏矣。）

The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: In the first year of the Jiazi cycle, which is the eleventh Jiazi, when the winter solstice occurs at the beginning of the lunar month, at the midpoint of the night, the star of years (Su Xing) together with the sun, moon, and five planets starts from five degrees before the Ox mansion, and moves eastward (rightward) in the order of the twenty-eight mansions. It completes a full circle around the sky in twelve years. (Original book note: According to the calendar calculation, after the Su Xing appears once, it disappears after 363 days, and then reappears after 35 days and 1330/1162 of a day plus 45 small fractions. A complete synodic period is 398 days and 1340/1162 of a day plus 45 small fractions. All schools of thought say that it takes twelve years to complete a full circle around the sky, but when compared with this calculation, the twelve-year period is somewhat approximate.) The actual time for the Su Xing to complete a full circle around the sky is slightly shorter than twelve years. Over time, it will advance into the next star position ahead of schedule, which is what is referred to later as "chao chen" (overtaking a star). This is precisely why the integer statement of "twelve years for a full circle" is not precise enough.

《河圖洛書》曰：“歲星日行十二分度之一，十二歲而周天，出東方以晨，入西方以昏。”甘氏曰：“歲星凡十二歲而周，皆三百七十日而夕入於西方，三十日復晨出於東方，視其進退左右，以占其妖祥。”甘氏曰：“歲星所居處，安靜中度，吉。”《天官書》曰：“歲星出，東行十二度百日而止，反逆行八度，百日復東行。”

The Yellow River Chart and Luo Writing say: The star of years moves one twelfth of a degree each day, completing a full circle around the sky in twelve years; it rises in the east in the morning and sets in the west in the evening. The Gan school says: The star of years completes a full circle in twelve years, and each time it sets in the west in the evening, it will reappear in the east in the morning after thirty days; by observing its movement forward, backward, left, and right, one can predict auspiciousness and ominous signs. The Gan school also says: When the star of years is in a stable and regular position, it is a sign of good fortune. The Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Celestial Officials, says: After the star of years appears, it moves eastward for twelve degrees, stops after one hundred days, then retrogrades eight degrees, and after another hundred days, it resumes moving eastward—this forward and backward movement is the normal pattern of planetary stationary and retrograde motion.

巫咸曰：“歲星受制，則行柔惠；進群賢、封有功、出財貨、行賑貸、禁開闔、通障塞、無伐木。”《尚書緯》曰：“時五紀；氣在於春紀，可以觀農桑，禁斬伐，以安國家；如是，則歲星得度，五穀滋矣。政失於春，星不居其常。”《樂動聲儀》曰：“角度和調，則歲星常應太歲；月建以見，則發明至，為兵備。”（發明，金精烏也，金既克木，又兵象也。）

Wu Xian said: When the star of years is restrained and moves in harmony, the sovereign should implement gentle and benevolent policies: appoint many virtuous officials, grant fiefs to meritorious ministers, distribute wealth, provide relief and loans, prohibit arbitrary opening and closing of borders, clear blocked roads, and refrain from cutting down trees. The "Book of Documents - The Heavenly Mandate" says: The annual seasons are divided into five categories, and when the seasonal divisions are appropriate for the spring category, one should inspect agriculture and sericulture, prohibit cutting down trees, to stabilize the state; by doing so, the star of years will move in its regular course, and the five grains will flourish accordingly. If the policies of spring are improper, the star of years will not remain in its usual position. The "Book of Music - The Movement of Sounds" says: When the tone of Jue is harmonious and orderly, the star of years will often correspond with the sovereign star; if the month builder god appears, then "invention" occurs, and one should prepare in advance for military affairs. (Original book note: "Invention" refers to a bird formed from the essence of metal, which symbolizes both the power of metal to overcome wood and the image of military weapons.)

《荊州占》曰：“歲星居舍，進退如度，其國有福；王者吉，奸邪息。”又曰：“人君治急，歲星行疾；緩者，行遲；刻者，行陰道；寬者，行陽道；和者，行中道。行陽道者，旱；行陰道者，水；行中道者，陰陽調和。又曰：歲星行正，則王者心正；行邪；則人主心邪。行正者，行黃道也；行邪者，失黃道也。又曰：君行寬，則歲星行陽道，多旱，王者外其心，憂在邊臣，封寵無功之人。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of the year is in its proper place and moves forward and backward in accordance with the usual course, the country under its influence will be blessed, the king will be auspicious, and wicked deeds will be quelled. It also says: When the ruler governs with urgency, the star of the year moves quickly; when he governs with leniency, the star moves slowly; when he is harsh, the star travels along the northern path of the Yellow Path; when he is kind, it travels along the southern path; and when he is balanced, it travels along the central path. Traveling along the southern path brings drought, traveling along the northern path brings floods, and traveling along the central path signifies harmony between yin and yang. It also says: When the star of the year moves straight, it indicates the ruler's mind is upright; when it moves crookedly, it indicates the ruler's mind is not upright. By "moving straight" it means following the Yellow Path; by "moving crookedly" it means deviating from the Yellow Path. It also says: When the ruler's governance is overly lenient, the star of the year travels along the southern path, resulting in frequent droughts. At this time, the ruler's thoughts are outward, his worries fall upon the ministers of the border regions, and he will reward and favor those without merit.

甘氏曰：“凡歲星所在，不可伐，假令歲星在寅，則其歲不可東北征，利西南；西南無年有亂民，是為歲星之沖，常受其凶也。十二歲皆放此。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星歲行一次，居二十八宿，與太歲應，十二歲而周天。太陰居維辰，歲星居維宿二，太陰居仲辰，歲星居仲宿三。”

The Gan school says: wherever the year star is located, that region should not be attacked. Suppose the year star is in the寅 position, then in that year, it is not advisable to wage war in the Northeast, but favorable to attack in the Southwest. The Southwest will have poor harvests and people's troubles, because that is the 'conflict' position of the year star, which often brings misfortune. This applies for twelve years in succession. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: the year star travels through one "zhi" each year, successively residing in the twenty-eight constellations, corresponding to the cycle of the sovereign star. In twelve years, the year star completes a full circle around the sky. When the Wealth star (i.e., the sovereign star) is in the four cardinal directions (丑寅, 辰巳, 未申, 戌亥), the year star resides in the two constellations under the cardinal direction's jurisdiction. When the Wealth star is in the four intermediate directions (子午卯酉), the year star resides in the three constellations under the intermediate direction's jurisdiction.

《淮南子》曰：“太陰在四仲，則歲星守三宿；（太陰謂太歲也，四仲子午卯酉也，假令歲陰在卯，星守須女、虛、危，故曰三宿也。）太陰在四鉤，歲星行二宿；（四鉤，謂丑寅為一鉤，辰巳為一鉤，未申為一鉤，戍亥為一鉤。假令歲陰在寅，歲星在斗、牛，故曰二宿也。案惡灼曰：太陰在四孟、四季，則歲行二宿也。）二八十六，三四十二；故十二歲而行二十八宿，日行十二分度之一，歲行三十度十六分度之七，十二歲而周。”

The *Huainanzi·Tianwen Xun* says: When the Taiyin is in the four central positions, the star of the year stays for three constellations. (Original note: Taiyin refers to the master star; the four central positions refer to Zi, Wu, Mao, and You. If the star of the year is in Mao, it stays in Xun, Xu, and Wei, hence three constellations.) When the Taiyin is in the four hooks, the star of the year stays for two constellations. (Original note: The four hooks refer to Chou and Yin as one hook, Chen and Si as one hook, Wei and Shen as one hook, and Xu and Hai as one hook. If the star of the year is in Yin, it stays in Dou and Niu, hence two constellations. Also, according to "Evil Burn" — which is likely Jin Zhuo — it says: When Taiyin is in the four firsts and the four ends, the star of the year stays for two constellations.) Two multiplied by eight gives sixteen, three multiplied by four gives twelve, together making twenty-eight. Therefore, twelve years are sufficient for the star of the year to traverse all twenty-eight constellations. The star of the year moves one twelfth of a degree each day, and thirty and seven twelfths degrees each year, completing a full circle around the sky in twelve years.

《春秋緯》曰：“太陰在亥，歲星居角、亢；太陰在子，歲星居氐、房、心；太陰在丑，歲星居尾、箕；太陰在寅，歲星居斗、牽牛；太陰在卯，歲星居須女、虛、危，太陰在辰，歲星居營室、東壁；太陰在已，歲星居奎、婁；太陰在午，歲星居胃、昴、畢；太陰在未，歲星居觜、參、伐；太陰在申，歲星居東井、輿鬼；太陰在西，歲星居柳、九星、張；太陰在戍，歲星居翼、軫；運之常也。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings state: When the Wealth star and Mother star are in the亥 position, the Year Star is in the角 and 亢 positions; when they are in the子 position, the Year Star is in the氐, 房, and 心 positions; when they are in the丑 position, the Year Star is in the尾 and 箕 positions; when they are in the寅 position, the Year Star is in the斗 and 牵牛 positions; when they are in the卯 position, the Year Star is in the须女, 虚, and 危 positions; when they are in the巳 position (the original text says '已'), the Year Star is in the营室 and 东壁 positions—this should follow the order of the辰 position; when they are in the辰 position, the Year Star is in the营室 and 东壁 positions; when they are in the巳 position, the Year Star is in the奎 and 娄 positions; when they are in the午 position, the Year Star is in the胃, 昴, and 毕 positions; when they are in the未 position, the Year Star is in the觜, 参, and 伐 positions; when they are in the申 position, the Year Star is in the Well mansion and Ghost mansion positions; when they are in the酉 position (the original text says '西'), the Year Star is in the柳, 七星 (the original text says '九星'), and 张 positions; when they are in the戌 position, the Year Star is in the翼 and 轸 positions. This is the regular course of the Year Star's movement.

甘氏曰：“歲星處一國，是司歲十二名攝提格之歲。（案李巡曰：“言萬物承陽而起，故曰攝格，格起也。孫炎曰：陽攝，特提攜萬物，使上至。）攝提格在寅，歲星在丑，以正月與建、斗、牽牛、婺女，（案《天官書》與斗、牽牛。石氏曰：在斗、牛，太初曆曰：在營室、東壁，《淮南鴻烈解》曰：太陽在寅，見效中攝提格，其雄為星、舍斗、牽牛。許慎注曰：太陰在天為雄、歲星；在地為太陰。）晨出於東方為日；十二月（宋《準南鴻烈解》曰：以十二月與之晨出東方，東井、輿鬼為對。許慎注曰：東井、輿鬼在未，斗、牽牛，在丑，故為對也。）夕入於西方，其名曰監德；其狀蒼蒼，若有光；其國有德，乃熱泰稷；其國無德，甲兵惻惻；其失次；將有天應，見於輿鬼，（《天官書》曰：應見杓。）其歲早水，而晚旱。（案《淮南鴻烈解》曰：攝提格之歲，早水晚旱，稻疾蠶不登，菽麥昌，民食四升。）

The Gan school says: When the star of brightness and prestige is located in the territory of a particular state, it governs one of the twelve years' names, namely the year of "She Ti Ge." According to Li Xun, this refers to the emergence of all things through the reception of yang energy, hence the term "She Ti Ge," where "Ge" means rising. Sun Yan explains that yang energy gathers and supports all things, enabling them to grow upward. The year of "She Ti Ge" corresponds to the year of Yin. At this time, the star of brightness and prestige rises in the sign of Chou in the morning, and during the first lunar month, it is together with the Dipper mansion, the Ghost mansion, the Ox mansion, and the Girl mansion. According to the "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials," it is with the Dipper and the Ox; the Shi school says it is in the Dipper and the Ox; the "Tai Chu Calendar" says it is in Ying Shi and Dong Bi; the "Huainanzi: Interpretation of the Great Vastness" says that when the sun is in the year of Yin, the year is called "She Ti Ge," and the dominant star is the star of brightness and prestige, which resides in the Dipper and the Ox. Xu Shen notes that in heaven, the dominant star is the star of brightness and prestige, and on earth, it is the wealth star and mother star. The star of brightness and prestige rises in the morning from the east and sets in the west in the evening. The name of the star of brightness and prestige for this year is "Jian De," appearing dark blue and shining with its own light. If the state under its jurisdiction has virtue, millet and foxtail millet will mature; if it lacks virtue, there will be military conflicts and people will be anxious. If the star of brightness and prestige deviates from its proper position, moving earlier or later than it should, there will be heavenly signs appearing in the Ghost mansion. According to the "Celestial Officials Book," such signs appear where the handle of the Dipper points. This year first has floods, then droughts. According to the "Huainanzi: Interpretation of the Great Vastness," the year of "She Ti Ge" first has floods and then droughts, rice has diseases, silkworms have poor harvests, beans and wheat are abundant, and the people each receive four sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“單閼之歲，（案李巡曰：日在卯，言陽氣推萬物而起，故曰單閼，單盡也，閼止也，孫炎曰：本單作殫，釋曰：殫猶中也，閼雍之拘，於此盡申也。）攝提格在卯，歲星在子，與虛危，（《天官書》曰：與婺女、虛、危。《漢書天文志》曰：太初曆在奎，婁。）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍婺女、虛、危，以十二月輿之晨出東方，柳、七星張翼對也。）其狀甚大，有光，若有小赤星附於其側，是謂同盟。兩國或昌或亡，死者不在其鄉，其失次，見於張，其名曰降入，周王受其殃，國斯反服，甲兵惻惻，其歲大水。（《淮南子》曰：單閼之歲，歲和，菽惡，蠶昌，民食五升。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Dan'han, according to Li Xun's explanation, the sovereign star is in the position of卯, which refers to the movement of yang qi propelling all things into activity, hence it is called 'Dan'han'. 'Dan' means completion, and 'han' means stop. Sun Yan explains that 'Dan' was originally written as 'Tan', meaning 'Tan is the middle'. The qi that was previously restrained is now fully extended. The year's yin refers to the position of卯 (the original text says 'Sheshige is in卯', Sheshige is the name for the year of寅, but here it generally refers to the position of the year's yin). The star of years is in the position of子, and is located with Xu and Wei. According to the 'Tian Gao Book', it is with Wu Nu, Xu, and Wei; according to the 'Han Shu · Tian Wen Zhi', it is fixed in Gui and Lou according to the Tai Chu calendar. The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. According to the 'Huainanzi', the star of years resides in Wu Nu, Xu, and Wei, and in the twelfth month, it rises with the star of officialdom in the east, facing Li, Qixing, Zhang, and Yi. Its body is large and luminous; if a small red star is attached to it, it is called 'Tongmeng', and two countries will be one prosperous and one ruined, with the dead not in their native land. If the star of years goes out of its place, the omen appears in Zhang Su, and it is called 'Jiang Ru'. The king of Zhou will suffer calamity, the people will rebel and submit to others, armies will rise, people will be anxious, and there will be great floods in that year. According to the 'Huainanzi', in the year of Dan'han, the harvest is harmonious, beans are scarce, sericulture is prosperous, and each person's daily grain ration is five sheng.

甘氏曰：“執徐之歲，（案李巡曰：‘言蟄之物，皆敷舒而出，故曰執徐，執、蟄也，徐、舒也。’孫炎曰：‘勾者，畢達蟄伏之物，盡敷舒也。’）攝提在辰，歲星在亥，與營室、東壁，（《天官書》曰：以三月與營室東壁。《天文志》曰：太初曆在胃昂。）晨出、夕入，（《淮南子》：‘歲星合營室，東壁，以正月與之晨出東方，翼、軫為對。）其名為搏谷。（《天官書》曰：‘青章、甚韋也。’）其國有德，必數其狀；其失次、見於軫，（石氏曰失次杓。）其名曰青章、其國不利，治兵將有大喪，其歲早旱而晚水。”（《淮南子》曰：‘執徐之歲，早旱晚水，小飢，蠶開，麥熟，民食三升。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Zhixu, the annual star is in the position of Chen, and the star of officialdom is in Hai, sharing the same position with Yingshi and Dongbi. The star of officialdom rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The name of the star of officialdom for this year is "Bo Gu." The state corresponding to this star's domain, if it has virtue, will surely show signs of auspiciousness; if the star goes out of order, the effect will be seen in Chenshou. At this time, the star is called "Qing Zhang," and the state corresponding to its domain will be unfavorable, with great loss in military campaigns. This year will first experience drought and then flood. The Huainanzi says that in the year of Zhixu, there will first be drought and then flood, with some famine, sericulture begins, wheat ripens, and each person receives three sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“大荒落之歲，（李巡曰：‘言萬物皆熾茂，而大出，霍然落落，故曰荒落。’孫炎曰：‘物長大荒無落莫者也。’）攝提在巳，歲星在戍，與奎、婁、胃（《天官書》曰：以四月與奎、婁、胃。《漢天文志》曰：太初曆在伐也。）晨出夕伏，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍奎，婁，以二月之晨，出東方，角、亢為對也。）其名曰路嶂，（《天官書》謂之跰踵。）其狀熊，色有光，其國兵，其君增地，其失次，見於亢，其名曰清明；其下出賊、死主，是歲不可西北征，利東西；東南無軍，有亂民，將有兵作於其旁，執殺其主。”（《淮南子》曰：‘大荒落之歲，有小兵，蠶登，麥昌、菽疾，民食二升也。）

The Gan school says: In the year of Da Huang Luo. (Original note: Li Xun says that in this year, all things are flourishing and abundant, with branches and leaves sparse and falling, hence the term 'Huang Luo'; Sun Yan says that all things are growing large and flourishing, without signs of withering or decay.) The year's Yin refers to the position of Si, and the star of years is in Xu, sharing the position with Gui, Lou, and Wei. (Original note: The "Book of Celestial Officials" says that in the fourth month, the star of years is with Gui, Lou, and Wei; the "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says that according to the Tai Chu calendar, it is fixed at the star of Fa.) The star of years rises in the morning and hides in the evening. (Original note: The "Huainanzi" says that when the star of years is in Gui and Lou, it rises in the east in the morning of the second month, facing Jiao and Kang.) The name of the star of years in this year is "Lu Zhang." (Original note: The "Book of Celestial Officials" calls it "Peng Zhong.") It appears strong and powerful like a bear, with a luminous color; in the territory corresponding to its position, there will be military actions, but the ruler will be able to expand the territory. If the star of years deviates from its course, the effect will manifest in the mansion of Kang Su, at which time it is called "Qing Ming," and in the territory corresponding to its position, there will be bandits and the death of the ruler. In this year, it is not advisable to wage war in the northwest, but it is favorable to wage war in the east and west; although there is no military action in the southeast, there will be people causing disturbances, and there will be military troubles nearby, possibly even capturing the king of the country. (Original note: The "Huainanzi" says that in the year of Da Huang Luo, there are small-scale military actions, sericulture is bountiful, wheat is flourishing, beans have diseases, and the people each receive two sheng of grain per day.)

甘氏曰：“敦牂之歲，（太陰在午，歲名攙抑。郭璞曰：郭牂。《淮南子注》曰：‘則郎切。’升巡曰：‘言萬物皆茂狀，猗移其枝，故曰敦牂；敦茂也，牂狀也。’孫炎曰：萬物茂狀也。）攝提在午，歲星在酉，與畢、昴（《天官書》曰：‘以五月與胃、昴、畢。《天文志》曰：‘太初曆在井，輿鬼也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：“歲星舍胃、昴，以三月輿之晨出東方，氐、房心，為對。’）其名曰啟明；（《天官書》曰：‘開明，一曰天津。’石氏曰：‘名聲明。’）其狀熊熊，若有光，天下偃兵，唯利二立王，不利治兵，其失次見於房。（石氏曰：失次杓。）其名曰不祥，孽及殷王，禍及四鄉；其歲早旱、晚水。”（《淮南子》曰：‘攙搶之歲，歲大旱，蠶登稻疾，菽麥昌，禾為民食二升。’）

Gan Shi said: In the year of Dun Zhang. (Original note: The Tai Yin is in the position of Wu, and the name of the year is also called 'Chan Yi'. Guo Pu said it should be read as 'Guo Zhang', and the annotation in the 'Huainanzi' gives the pronunciation as 'Ze Lang Chie'. Li Xun said that this refers to the flourishing and vigorous growth of all things, with branches graceful and spreading, hence called 'Dun Zhang', 'Dun' meaning flourishing, and 'Zhang' meaning vigorous. Sun Yan said that it refers to the meaning of flourishing and vigorous growth.) The year's Yin refers to the position of Wu, and the Star of Years is in You, sharing the position with Bi and Mao. (Original note: The 'Tian Guan Shu' said that in May, the Star of Years is with Wei, Mao, and Bi; the 'Hanshu · Tianwen Zhi' said that according to the 'Tai Chu Li', it is located in the Well Mansion and the Ghost Mansion.) The Star of Years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. (Original note: The 'Huainanzi' said that the Star of Years resides in Wei and Mao, and after three months, it rises with the Tai Yin in the east, facing Di, Fang, and Xin.) The name of the Star of Years in this year is 'Qiming'. (Original note: The 'Tian Guan Shu' wrote it as 'Kaiming', also called 'Tianjin'; the Shi school said its name is 'Shengming'.) It shines brightly, as if it has its own light; the world rests from warfare, benefiting the establishment of a king but not the military campaigns. If the Star of Years goes out of order, the omen will appear in the Room Mansion. (Original note: The Shi school said that if the Star of Years goes out of order, it should be in the direction pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper.) At this time, it is called 'Bu Xiang', and the calamity spreads to the Yin King, disaster spreads throughout the land; in this year, there is first drought and then flood. (Original note: The 'Huainanzi' said that in the year of Changan, there was great drought, the silkworm raising was abundant, but rice had disease, beans and wheat were flourishing, and the people had two sheng of grain per day.)

甘氏曰：“協洽之歲，（李巡曰：‘在未言陰陽，欲合，萬物和合；故曰協洽，和也。’孫炎曰：物生和洽，含英秀也。）攝提在未，歲星在申，與觜觿、參伐，（《天官書》曰：‘以六月與觜、觿參。”天文志曰：‘在張七星。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：歲星舍觜觿、參，以四月與之晨出東方、尾、箕為對。）其名曰張列，（《天官書》曰：‘長列。’）其狀昭昭，若有光，其色若赤，無有他祥，唯利行兵，徵於四方，仇人不敢治，民其失次，見於箕；其名曰不疑，小民有子，持頭相期。”（《淮南子》曰：‘協洽之歲，有小兵，蠶登，稻昌，菽麥不為民食，三升。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of Xieqia (协洽), the year's ruler is in the position of Wei, and the star of officialdom is in Shen. The star of officialdom rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The star of officialdom is called "Zhanglie" (张列) in this year. It is bright and radiant, with a reddish color, and there are no other strange signs. It is favorable for military campaigns and conquering the four directions, and enemies dare not oppose. If the star of officialdom deviates from its course, the omen will appear in the mansion of the Winnowing Basket (箕宿), and at that time it is called "Buyi" (不疑). At this time, common people give birth to children, and father and son make vows to protect each other with their lives. The original commentary says: The Huainanzi mentions that in the year of Xieqia, there were minor military actions, a good harvest of silkworms, flourishing rice, poor harvest of beans and wheat, and each person's daily grain ration was three sheng.

甘氏曰：“涒灘之歲，（郭璞曰：涒音湯昆切，灘音湯干切，李巡曰：言萬物皆脩其精氣，故曰涒灘，孫炎曰：涒灘物吐秀，傾垂之貌也。）攝提在申，歲星在未，與東井、與輿，（《天官書》曰：‘以七月與東井，輿鬼；’《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在翼、軫也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍東井、輿鬼，以五月與之晨出東方，斗、牽牛為對。’）其名曰大晉，其狀昭昭，白色有光，有國其亡，亦不在其鄉，其失次見於牽牛，其名曰小章，不利治兵，其國有誅，必害其王；歲小水雨。”（《淮南子》曰：‘涒灘之歲，歲和小雨行，蠶登菽麥昌，民食三升。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of Tuntan, the year's governing star is in the position of Shen, and the star of officialdom is in Wei, sharing the same position as the East Well mansion and the Ghost mansion. The star of officialdom rises in the morning and sets in the evening. In this year, the star of officialdom is called "Da Jin," bright and white with light; some countries will perish, and the dead will not be in their native places. If the star of officialdom deviates from its course, the effect will be evident in the Cow mansion, at which time it is called "Xiao Zhang," which is unfavorable for military campaigns. In the region corresponding to this star, there will be executions, and the harm will reach the king. In this year, there will be small water and light rain. The Huainanzi says that in the year of Tuntan, the harvest is harmonious, there is timely light rain, the silkworms' breeding is abundant, the beans and wheat are flourishing, and each person gets three sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“作愕之歲，（《淮南子》曰：‘作愕或作噩。’孫炎曰：‘愕音咢。”李巡曰：‘在西，言萬物墜落，故曰作愕。作索也，愕茂也。’孫炎曰：‘作愕者，物落而枝起之貌。’）攝提在西，歲星在午，與柳、七星、張，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星在柳，七星張。’《天官書》曰：‘以八月，與柳、七星、張。”《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在亢。’）晨出夕入，（以六月與之晨出東方，須女、虛、危為對也。）其名為長王，其狀作有芒，有國其昌，書有四方，享獻之祥；其失次見於虛，（《天官書》曰：‘應見危。’石氏曰：‘失次杓。”）其名曰大章；有旱而昌，或為之殃，必有其鄉，其歲有火，有女喪、民疾。”（《淮南子》曰：‘作愕之歲，有大兵，民疾，蠶不登，菽麥無穗，民食五升也。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of "Zuo E" (original note: The Huainanzi says "Zuo E" or "Zuo E"; Sun Yan says "E" is read as "E". Li Xun says, when the Tai sui is in You, it refers to the withering of all things, so it is called "Zuo E", "Zuo" means to be desolate, and "E" means flourishing. Sun Yan says, "Zuo E" refers to the falling of fruits and the straightening of branches. ) The year's Yin refers to the position of You (original text says "West"), the Sheng star is in Wu, and is together with Liu, Qixing, and Zhang. (Original note: The Huainanzi says the Sheng star is in Liu, Qixing, and Zhang; The Tian Gao Shu says in August it is together with Liu, Qixing, and Zhang; The Han Shu·Tianwen Zhi says the Tai Chu Li determines it in the Kangle mansion.) The Sheng star rises in the morning and sets in the evening. (Original note: In June, it rises together with Tai Yin in the east, and is opposite Xun, Xu, and Wei.) In this year, the Sheng star is named "Chang Wang", and its shape has芒刺 (spines). Some countries become prosperous, and there is communication of documents from all directions, which is a good omen of tribute. If the Sheng star goes out of order, the verification appears in Xu mansion (original note: The Tian Gao Shu says the verification appears in Wei mansion; the Shi school says if it goes out of order, it should be where the handle of the Big Dipper points). At this time, it is named "Dazhang", although there is drought, it can still flourish, or it may suffer the opposite, and it must fall in its territory. In this year, there is fire, the death of a woman, and many people are sick. (Original note: The Huainanzi says, in the year of Zuo E, there is large-scale warfare, people are sick, sericulture fails, beans and wheat do not bear grain, and each person gets five sheng of grain per day.)

甘氏曰：“閹茂之歲，（李巡曰：‘言萬物皆蔽昌，故曰閹茂，閹，蔽也；茂，冒也。”孫炎曰：‘霜閹茂物，使俱落也。’）攝提在戍，歲星在巳，在翼、軫。（《天官書》曰：‘以九月與翼、軫、《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在氐、房、心也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍翼、軫、以九月與之晨出東方，營室、壁為對。’其名為天睢，其狀白色，大明，其色若青，國有大疾；其失次見於東壁，（石氏曰：‘失次杓。’）其國士卿相謫，民人各直刺，無有仇謫，鬼神書壁；其名曰天侈，其歲有小水，有女喪。”（《淮南子》曰：‘閹茂之歲，小熟有兵，蠶不登，麥不為，菽昌，民食七知。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of Yamen (阉茂), the year's hidden stem is in the position of Xu, and the star of years is in the position of Si, located in the constellations Yi and Zhen. The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The star of years in this year is called "Tian Sui," appearing white and very bright. If its color is more blue, there will be a great plague in the country. If the star of years goes out of order, the effect will be evident in the constellation of Dongbei (东壁). According to the Shi school, when the star of years goes out of order, it should be in the direction pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper. In the country corresponding to this constellation, officials and ministers will blame each other, common people will speak out directly and criticize, without any enmity they will develop quarrels, and even strange phenomena such as ghosts writing on walls will occur. At this time, the star of years is called "Tian Chi," and there will be a small flood disaster and the death of women. The Huainanzi says that in the year of Yamen, the harvest is slightly poor and there will be military affairs, sericulture will not be successful, wheat will not be harvested, beans will be abundant, and each person will receive seven sheng of grain per day. The original text says "seven zhi" which should be "seven sheng."

甘氏曰：“大淵獻之歲，’（李巡曰：‘言萬物落於亥，大小深藏屈近陽，故曰淵獻。淵藏也，獻近也。’孫炎曰：‘獻萬物於大深，謂蓋藏也。’）攝提在亥，歲星在辰，與軫、角、亢。（《天官書》曰：‘以十月與角亢。’《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在尾、箕。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍角、亢以十月與之晨出東方，奎、婁為對也。’）其名為大皇，（《天官書》曰：‘大章。’）其狀色玄青，天下不寧，有歸為政；星若耀而陰出，是謂正平，利起軍旅，其帥必武，有德將，四國海內盡服；其失次見於婁，其名屏營，天下盡驚。”（《淮南子》曰：‘大淵獻之歲，有大兵，大熟蠶、蕃、菽、麥，不蟊賊，民食三升。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of Dàyuanxiàn (Great Deep Offering). (Original commentary: Li Xun says that this refers to all things withering at the亥 position, retreating and hiding, bowing to the yang energy, hence called 'Deep Offering'; 'Deep' means concealment, and 'Offering' means nearness. Sun Yan says that this refers to offering all things into the deepest place, meaning storage. ) The year's yin refers to the亥 position, and the star of years is at the辰 position, sharing the same place with Zhen, Jiao, and Kangle. (Original commentary: The 'Book of Celestial Officials' says that in October, the star of years is with Jiao and Kangle; the 'Book of Han: Records of Astronomy' says that the 'Taichu Calendar' fixes it at Wei and Ji. ) The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. (Original commentary: The 'Huainanzi' says that the star of years resides at Jiao and Kangle, and in October, it rises with the star of officialdom in the east, facing Gui and Lou. ) The name of the star of years in this year is 'Dahuang'. (Original commentary: The 'Book of Celestial Officials' writes 'Dazhang'. ) Its color is deep blue, indicating unrest in the world, and there will be people who submit and take charge; if the star's light shines and appears from the yin position, this is called 'Zhengping', favorable for military campaigns, the commander will certainly be brave, and there will be virtuous generals, and all the countries around and within the realm will submit. If the star of years goes out of order, the omen will appear at Lou宿, at this time it is called 'Pingying', and the whole world will be alarmed. (Original commentary: The 'Huainanzi' says that in the year of Dàyuanxiàn, there will be large-scale military affairs, the sericulture will be abundant and prosperous, beans and wheat will be bountiful, no pests will appear, and each person will have three sheng of grain per day.)

甘氏曰：“困敦之歲，（郭璞曰：‘敦音頓。”李巡曰：‘太子言陽氣皆混，萬物芽孽，故曰困敦。’孫炎曰：‘困敦混沌也，萬物初萌，混沌於黃泉之下。’）攝提在子，歲星在卯、與氐、房（《天官書》曰：“以十一月與氐、房、心。”《漢天文志》，曰：‘太初曆有建星、牽牛。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍氐，房、心，以九月與之晨出東方、胃、昴、畢為對也。’）其名為天泉，其狀玄色，甚明；江池其昌，不利起兵，其失次見於昴，其名曰赤章，其國有喪，不在其王，在水而昌。”（《淮南子》曰：‘困敦之歲，大霧起，大水出，蠶登，稻疾，菽麥昌，民食三升也。’）

The Gan school says: In the year of Gudun, the year's ruler is in the position of Zi, the star of officialdom is in the position of Mao, and it is together with Di and Fang. The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The name of the star of years in this year is "Tianquan," which is dark in color but very bright. Rivers, lakes, ponds and marshes will flourish, but it is unfavorable for military campaigns. If the star of years goes out of order, the effect will be seen in the mansion of Maosu, at which time it is called "Chizhang." The country corresponding to this mansion will suffer from calamities, but not the ruler. All industries related to water will flourish. The "Huainanzi" says that in the year of Gudun, great fog arises, great floods occur, sericulture is bountiful, rice has disease, beans and wheat are flourishing, and each person gets three sheng of grain per day.

甘氏曰：“赤奮若之歲，（李巡曰：‘言陽氣奮迅，萬物而起，不若其性，故曰赤奮，若陽也，奮迅也，若順也。’孫炎曰：‘物萌，色赤，奮動，順其性，而氣始芽也。’）攝提在丑，歲星在寅，與心、尾、箕，（《天官書》曰：‘以十二月與尾，箕。’《漢天文志》曰：‘太初曆在婺女、虛、危，又曰：甘氏、太初曆所以不同者，以星盈縮，在前後所見也，其四星亦各如此者也。’）晨出夕入，（《淮南子》曰：‘歲星舍尾、箕，以十月與之晨出東方，觜觿、參為對。’）其名為天昊，黯然黑色、甚明侯王有慶，其失次見於參，其名洋；有國其虛，其歲早水。”（《淮南子》曰：‘赤奮若之歲，有小兵、早水，蠶不出，稻小疾，菽不為，麥昌，民食三升。”）

The Gan school says: In the year of Chì Fèn Ruò (Red Vigorous Beginning), the year's Yin is located at the position of Chǒu, and the star of years is at Yín, sharing the position with the heart, Wei, and Ji. The star of years rises in the morning and sets in the evening. The name of the star of years in this year is "Tian Hào," which has a dark color but is extremely bright. Kings and princes will have joyful events. If the star of years deviates from its course, the effect will be seen in the mansion of San Xing, and at this time the star of years is called "Yang," leading to some countries becoming empty. There will be water disasters in this year. The "Huainanzi" says that in the year of Chì Fèn Ruò, there will be minor military conflicts, early water disasters, silkworms not producing silk, rice having minor pests, beans not growing, wheat being abundant, and each person's daily grain ration being three sheng.

石氏曰：“歲星之相也，從立冬，冬至盡；其色精明，無芒角。”甘氏曰：“歲星之王也戶立春至春之盡，其色比左角大而蒼，有精光，而內實；仲春時有芒角。歲星之休也，從立夏至仲夏，無興明而赤黃。歲星之囚也，從仲夏至夏之盡，及四季王時，其包當青黑，止而不行。歲星之死也，從立秋．至秋之盡，其色黑而細小不明，此歲星之常也，天下大昌。

The Five Phases are divided into five stages of strength and decline: growth, prosperity, rest, captivity, and death. Wood is in the growth stage in winter (it is born and awaits prosperity), in spring it is prosperous, in summer it is in rest (its work is done and it retreats), in the middle of the fourth season it is in captivity, and in autumn it is in death (it is overcome by metal). The star of the year belongs to wood, so its color changes with the four seasons according to these stages. The Shi school says that when the star of the year is in the growth stage, it is from the beginning of winter to the end of winter solstice; at this time its color is pure and bright, withoutpointed rays. The Gan school says that when the star of the year is in the prosperous stage, it is from the beginning of spring to the end of spring; at this time its color is larger than the left star of the Horn mansion and is bluish-green, its brilliance is refined and its interior is full, and by mid-spring it will developpointed rays. When the star of the year is in the rest stage, it is from the beginning of summer to mid-summer; at this time it is no longer flourishing and bright, but turns to a reddish-yellow color. When the star of the year is in the captivity stage, it is from mid-summer to the end of summer, and also during the time when the earth phase is dominant in the fourth season; at this time its outer color should be dark blue-black, stagnant and not advancing. When the star of the year is in the death stage, it is from the beginning of autumn to the end of autumn; at this time its color turns black, it is small and not bright. The above describes the normal condition of the star of the year throughout the four seasons. When it conforms to these normal conditions, the world will be greatly flourishing.

當其相也而有王色，主弱臣強：有休色，相免，有囚色，相囚，有死色，相死。所留之舍，其國大強，行中度，天下和；其休，相有逆謀，不成。當其王而有相色，主弱臣強：有休色，人主有疾病之憂；有囚色，大赦；有死色，有大喪。其進舍也，有德令：其退舍也，有還令；其所守之舍，其下有逆德。

The planet Jupiter should be in the "Xiang" phase but appears in the "Wang" color, indicating the ruler is weak and the minister is strong; if it appears in the "Xiu" color, the prime minister will be dismissed; if it appears in the "Qiu" color, the prime minister will be imprisoned; if it appears in the "Si" color, the prime minister will die. The country corresponding to the star's dwelling will be very powerful; if Jupiter moves according to the regular course, the world will be in harmony; if it appears in the "Xiu" color, the prime minister will have rebellious intentions but will not succeed. Jupiter should be in the "Wang" phase but appears in the "Xiang" color, also indicating the ruler is weak and the minister is strong; if it appears in the "Xiu" color, the sovereign will have illness; if it appears in the "Qiu" color, there will be a great amnesty; if it appears in the "Si" color, there will be a great mourning. When Jupiter advances to a new mansion, there will be an edict of grace and virtue; when it retreats to a previous mansion, there will be an edict to revoke previous orders; the mansion it stays in will have rebellious actions beneath its corresponding territory.

當其休也而有王色，所居之舍，其國受兵；有相色，其國大臣誅傷；有囚色，草木傷；有死色，禾豆不入，稻芋半傷。當其囚也而有王色，政令不行，下反其上，主聽不聰；有相色，臣下專政，六月有霜；有休色，所謀不成：有死色，誅故貴公卿：所居之舍，其國有禍喪。當其死也而有王色，則秋榮華，有相色，枯木復生；有休色，有土功：有囚色，有大喪。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星王時，當有芒角：若無芒角者，王者無成，勢在臣下。”

The planet Jupiter should be in the "Rest" phase but appears with the color of "Dominance," indicating that the country it governs will suffer military calamity; if it appears with the color of "Minister," the country's ministers will be executed or injured; if it appears with the color of "Captivity," grass and trees will be damaged; if it appears with the color of "Death," grains and beans will not be harvested, and rice and taro will be severely damaged. If Jupiter should be in the "Captivity" phase but appears with the color of "Dominance," government policies will not be implemented, subordinates will rebel against superiors, and the ruler will be unable to hear clearly; if it appears with the color of "Minister," ministers will seize power, and frost will fall in June; if it appears with the color of "Rest," plans will not succeed; if it appears with the color of "Death," old and prominent officials will be executed. The country it governs will suffer disaster and loss. If Jupiter should be in the "Death" phase but appears with the color of "Dominance," grass and trees will bloom in autumn; if it appears with the color of "Minister," withered trees will sprout again; if it appears with the color of "Rest," there will be large-scale construction projects; if it appears with the color of "Captivity," there will be great mourning. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter is in the "Dominance" phase, it should show apointed rays (芒角 is a term for a芒角, which is a type of hair or feather-like structure on the planet). If there is nopointed rays, it indicates that the king will achieve nothing, and power will fall into the hands of ministers.

甘氏曰；“候歲星以春、甲、乙，此王氣當如其常色，變則失所也。”甘氏曰：“歲星如左角之狀，其色蒼，十二芒；蒼比伐左肩，赤比心，黃比（闕）大角，黑比奎大星。”巫咸曰：“歲星色青白如灰，主有憂；期五月，兵獄大起，青多為獄，白多為兵，青白等，兵獄並起。”《海中占》曰：“歲星色黃，得地。”《焦貢》曰：“歲星主歲，色黃澤，有年；赤而黑，無年。”《天官書》曰：“歲星色黃赤而沉，所居野大穰。”

The Gan school says: Observing the planet Jupiter should be done in spring on days of Jia or Yi. At this time, the wood energy is at its peak, and the color of the planet should match its usual color. If it changes, it indicates that the planet has lost its proper position. The Gan school also says: The shape and color of Jupiter resemble the left star of the Horn mansion, with a bluish-green color and twelve rays. When discussing the bluish color, it is compared to the left shoulder star of the Three Stars mansion; when discussing the red color, it is compared to the great star of the Heart mansion; when discussing the yellow color, it is compared to the great angle star (the missing character here is likely "大" for "great"); when discussing the black color, it is compared to the great star of the Legs mansion. This is a method of comparing the color of the planet with that of fixed stars. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter appears bluish-white like ash, it indicates calamity, and the period will be five months, with great military conflicts and legal cases. More bluish color indicates more legal cases, more white color indicates more military conflicts, and an equal amount of bluish and white color indicates both military conflicts and legal cases occurring together. The "Sea of Divination" says: When Jupiter is yellow, it indicates gaining land. The "Jiao Gong" says: Jupiter governs the harvest, and if it is yellow and moist, there will be a good harvest; if it is red with black, there will be no harvest. The "Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Celestial Officials" says: When Jupiter is yellow and red with dim light, the fields in the region it occupies will have a great harvest.

《荊州占》曰：“君有德，則歲星潤澤，光明；君無德，則歲星細小，不明。歲星黃赤潤澤，立竿見影，大熟；人主有喜。歲星始，正月受歲，色赤黃潤，所居之野，大穰；其色黃白，有爵祿之賞也；色正白，人主死，草野素服，諸侯皆戒，當有兵謀，不成；色白而圓，瘁而不光，期三十日，有喪。

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the sovereign is virtuous, the star of the year (Jupiter) is moist and bright; when the sovereign lacks virtue, the star of the year is small and dim. If the star of the year is yellowish-red and moist, and bright enough to cast a shadow when a pole is raised, it indicates a great harvest, and the sovereign will have joyful events. When the star of the year appears at the beginning of the year and during the first month, receiving the governance of the year, if it is red-yellow and moist, the fields in the region it represents will have a great harvest; if it is yellow-white, there will be rewards of titles and salaries; if it is pure white, the sovereign will die, and the people in the countryside will wear mourning clothes, the feudal lords will be on guard, and there will be military plans, but they will not succeed; if it is white and round, with dry and dull light, an event of mourning will occur within thirty days.

歲星色青白，是其常色，赤則主有憂；色黃，有喜；色白，為旱喪；色黑，多疾病，一曰有水災；歲星色青黑，期六十日，有喪。歲星色黃白，歲穰。歲星色青，圓，為憂；赤，圓，黑，圓，病，不出三十五日，大喪，改服。歲星在春，其色當蒼黃而潤澤，其變而白，秋有喪；變而赤者，夏有兵。歲星赤黃而動，期九十日，兵，若喪：色赤黑，侯王憂。歲星失色而黃，女后持政，期百八十日。失色而青黑，不出百八十日，有大喪。”

The planet Jupiter appears greenish-white, which is its normal color; if it turns red, there will be worries and troubles; if it is yellow, there will be joy and celebration; if it is white, there will be drought and mourning; if it is black, there will be many diseases, or according to some interpretations, floods; if Jupiter is green and black, there will be mourning within sixty days. If Jupiter is yellow and white, there will be a good harvest. If Jupiter is green and round in shape, there will be worries; if it is red and round or black and round, there will be illness, and within thirty-five days there will be great mourning and a change in clothing color. In spring, Jupiter's color should be bluish-yellow and moist; if it turns white, there will be mourning in autumn; if it turns red, there will be military conflicts in summer. If Jupiter is red and yellow but fluctuates, there will be military conflicts or mourning within ninety days; if it is red and black, the prince or king will have worries. If Jupiter loses its original color and turns yellow, the female ruler will take power, and this will happen within one hundred and eighty days; if it loses its original color and turns green and black, there will be great mourning within one hundred and eighty days.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星在東方之宿，色當青色；白而角，有怒；色赤，有兵：色黑，有喪：色黃白，歲大熟。歲星在北方之宿，色當黑白：白而角，有兵；色青，有憂；色白，有怒；色黃白，歲大熟。歲星在西方之宿，色當白，色赤而角，皆為有兵；青為憂，黑為喪，赤有怒，色黃白，歲大熟。歲星在南方之宿，，色當赤；色白而有角，兵：青有憂，若怒：色黑有喜，色黃白，歲大熟。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter travels to the seven stars of the eastern quadrant, its color should be blue; if it is white with sharp edges, there will be matters of anger; if it is red, there will be military affairs; if it is black, there will be mourning; if it is yellow and white, there will be a great harvest. When Jupiter travels to the seven stars of the northern quadrant, its color should be a mixture of white and black; if it is white with sharp edges, there will be military affairs; if it is blue, there will be worries; if it is white, there will be matters of anger; if it is yellow and white, there will be a great harvest. When Jupiter travels to the seven stars of the western quadrant, its color should be white; if it is red with sharp edges, there will be military affairs; if it is blue, there will be worries; if it is black, there will be mourning; if it is red, there will be anger; if it is yellow and white, there will be a great harvest. When Jupiter travels to the seven stars of the southern quadrant, its color should be red; if it is white with sharp edges, there will be military affairs; if it is blue, there will be worries or matters of anger; if it is black, there will be joy; if it is yellow and white, there will be a great harvest. This method uses the natural color corresponding to the direction of the seven stars that Jupiter travels to as the standard, and then observes any changes in color to determine fortune or misfortune.

《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星色赤，有角：所居之國昌，人主以武強戰，無芒角，不勝。色赤黃，以反德，豐穰；君臣和合。色青白而赤耀，其國有乖離之謀，大臣發計，主有憂懼。”《鉤命決》曰：“天子失和，則黃龍不見，歲星五角。”巫咸曰：“歲星赤黃角，國有喜。”《海中占》曰：“歲星色蒼黃，吉：赤芒澤，有子孫，喜，立王；黃得地；白，有兵；黑，有德令。”

The Wen Yao Gou states: The color of the star of years is red with a sharp edge; the country under its domain will flourish, and the king can conquer by force. If it lacks the sharp edge, he will not be able to conquer. If its color is red and yellow, it signifies returning to virtue, indicating a good harvest and harmony between the king and his ministers. If its color is blue and white with a bright red glow, there will be plots of disloyalty in the country under its domain, ministers will conspire, and the king will be anxious. The Gou Ming Jue states: When the Son of Heaven loses the middle and harmony, the yellow dragon will not appear, and the star of years will have five sharp edges. Wu Xian says: If the star of years is red and yellow with a sharp edge, there will be joy in the country. The Hai Zhong Zhan states: If the star of years is dark yellow, it is a good omen; if it is red with a bright and moist edge, it signifies the birth of sons and daughters, good news, and the enthronement of a king; if it is yellow, it signifies gaining land; if it is white, it signifies military affairs; if it is black, it signifies imperial edicts of benevolence.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星東行，前芒短者，欲留之象；不出七日，留。正見南方，芒指卯、酉、子、午者，此王者正也；指西維者，不正也。歲星西行，前芒短者，欲留；不出三日，留。歲星失色，白耀耀圓而揚赤芒，王者誅大臣，期九十日。歲星色青而角，有水功事。歲星色赤，角，則犯我城。歲星角，人主有怒。歲星一角，七寸，外射者；大使、大臣出，期九十日；三角，兵誅，期六十日。歲星三角、芒；傷近臣，誅內將相，期百八十日。歲星五角，王者自出將，兵期百八十日。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter moves eastward, if the stars ahead have their beams shortened, this is a sign that it will stop and remain in place, and it will not take more than seven days before it stops. When Jupiter is seen directly in the south, and its beam points toward the four cardinal directions—卯 (Mao), 酉 (You), 子 (Zi), and 午 (Wu)—this indicates that the king's decrees are just and upright. If the beam points toward the western 维 (Wei) positions, which are the southwest and northwest, then the king's decrees are not just. When Jupiter moves westward, if the stars ahead have their beams shortened, this is also a sign that it will stop and remain in place, and it will not take more than three days before it stops. If Jupiter loses its original color, appears white and bright, has a round shape, and emits a red beam, the king will execute high officials, and this will occur within ninety days. If Jupiter has a green color and a beam, there will be construction work related to water management. If Jupiter has a red color and a beam, there will be enemy troops attacking our city walls. If Jupiter develops a beam, the sovereign will have an outburst of anger. If Jupiter has only one beam, which is seven inches long and shoots straight outward, then there will be a major official or high minister traveling, and this will occur within ninety days. If Jupiter has three beams, there will be military conflict and executions, and this will occur within sixty days. If Jupiter has three beams in a triangular shape, it will harm close officials and result in the execution of ministers within the court, and this will occur within one hundred and eighty days. If Jupiter has five beams, the king will personally lead an army as a general, and military affairs will occur within one hundred and eighty days.

歲星留，不行而芒角有長者，是星欲行，候隨；芒角所指，如是從之；其芒南者，星入外宿，王者欲遣大使之邊國，期九十日；芒北入中宿者，是王者在外，欲還也；不出四十日；芒在東者，欲順行也，不出七日；行，是天子欲出，不過五十日，則王者出宮；其芒在西者，欲逆行也；不出七十日，逆行；不出四十日，王者誅大臣。

The planet is stationary but a bright ray becomes longer, indicating a sign that the star is about to move. When observing, follow the direction of the ray: if it points south, the star will enter the outer mansion, and the king should send envoys to the border states, with an expected time of ninety days; if the ray points north and the star enters the middle mansion, it means the king is outside and wishes to return, and he will come back within forty days; if the ray points east, the star will move forward, and it will move within seven days; once it moves, it indicates the emperor wants to travel, and the king will leave the palace within fifty days; if the ray points west, the star will move backward, and it will begin to move backward within seventy days, and the king will punish a minister within forty days.

歲星芒邪、角不正；則王者心不正，外邪以應外臣；內邪以應后夫人。歲星有芒、無角；則王者心平，天下安寧，期百八十日。歲星變色，人主有怒；若有芒，角黑，有水；青角，有兵；白角，死喪；若無芒角，有軍戰，不勝。歲星七角又芒者，王者與四方戰，期不出一年。歲星九角又芒者，殺賢人，誅邊將，期一年。”石氏曰：“歲星色白角，哭泣之聲。歲星木用事王東方、無芒角，是王者內弱，威不使臣也。五寸以內曰芒，五寸以上至九寸，曰角。”《天官書》曰：“歲星角，迎角而戰者，不勝。”

The bright light of the planet Jupiter is crooked and its horn is not straight, indicating that the ruler's mind is not upright. If the light is slanted outward, it indicates problems with officials in the outer court; if it is slanted inward, it indicates issues with the queen consort. If Jupiter has a bright light but no horn, it indicates the ruler's heart is peaceful and the world is at peace, and this will last for 180 days. If Jupiter changes color, the ruler will have an outburst of anger. If it has a bright light and a black horn, there will be floods; a green horn indicates warfare; a white horn indicates death and mourning; if there is neither a bright light nor a horn, there will be battles where the army cannot win. If Jupiter has seven horns and a bright light, the ruler will wage war with the four directions, and this will happen within a year. If Jupiter has nine horns and a bright light, it will result in the killing of virtuous people and the execution of border generals, and this will happen within a year. The Shi school says: if Jupiter is white and has horns, there will be weeping. When Jupiter is in the period of the wood element and rules the east but has neither a bright light nor a horn, it indicates the ruler's inner strength is weak and his authority cannot command the ministers. The difference between a bright light and a horn is in length: five inches or less is called a 'bright light', and five to nine inches is called a 'horn'. The Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Celestial Officials says: if Jupiter has a horn, the side that faces the horn in battle will not win.

《五行傳》曰：“歲星超舍而前，為盈；退舍而後，為縮；盈其國有兵；縮其國有憂。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星超舍而前，過其所當舍，而宿以上一舍、兩舍、三舍，謂之羸；侯王不寧，不乃天裂；不乃地動。歲星退舍，而後以一舍、二舍、三舍，謂之縮；侯王有戚，其所去，宿國有憂，三年；有兵，若山崩，地動。”《雒書雒罪極》曰：“歲星當居不居，未當去而去，不言，主酷暴。”《詩緯》曰：“歲星無光，進退無常，此仁道失類之應。”《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星所居久，其國有德厚，人主有福，不可加以兵。”

The "Five Elements Transmission" says: When the star of the year (Jiu Xing) passes over the dwelling it should be in and moves forward, it is called "Ying"; when it retreats to the dwelling behind, it is called "Suo." If it is Ying, then the country corresponding to its dwelling will have military affairs; if it is So, then the country corresponding to its dwelling will have worries and troubles. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of the year passes over its dwelling and moves forward, exceeding the dwelling it should be in by one, two, or three dwellings, this is called "Ying," which indicates that the prince and king will not have peace; it is either a sky splitting open or an earthquake. When the star of the year retreats from its dwelling and lags behind by one, two, or three dwellings, this is called "Suo," which indicates that the prince and king will have worries and sorrows; the dwelling it leaves behind will have three years of troubles, or military calamities, or mountain collapses and earthquakes. The "Lu Book Lu Crimes Extreme" says: When the star of the year should stay but does not stay, and should leave but does not leave, the divination does not clearly state the meaning, indicating that the government orders are severe and tyrannical. The "Po Wei" says: When the star of the year loses its luster and moves forward and backward without a regular pattern, this is a sign that the virtue of benevolence has been lost and that the corresponding energies are in dissonance. The "Wenyao Gou" says: When the star of the year stays in one dwelling for a long time, the country corresponding to its dwelling will have deep benevolent blessings, the ruler will have good fortune, and it is not appropriate to wage war against it.

石氏曰：“歲星主仁，仁失者，罰出變見於歲星，歲星盈縮，故曰罰出，此失政也；言歲星所以盈縮之宿，乃以仁失，逆春氣之所致也。以其宿，命其國，聖人觀歲星的盈縮之宿，以知仁失之國也。”

The Shi school says: The planet Jupiter governs benevolence and virtue. When benevolence and virtue are lacking, punishment manifests in the form of anomalies in the position of Jupiter. Jupiter may appear ahead and be full, or lag behind and be diminished, so it is called "penalty appears." This is an indication of failure in governance. The star mansion where Jupiter is full or diminished is precisely due to the lack of benevolence and virtue on earth and the violation of the spring energy. By referring to the star mansion where Jupiter is located, one can identify the corresponding territory. The sage observes the star mansion where Jupiter is full or diminished, and thus knows which country has lost benevolence and virtue.

石氏曰：“其國失義，失春政，則歲星羸縮，羸則其下之國有兵，不居；復縮，則其下之國有憂，其將死，國傾敗。又曰歲星當居不居，未當去而去，若居之；又南北東西翔之，搖動不留，名曰六排，皆陰驚其陽，臣下勝其主，人主有大憂，三公之禍，相以所之宿名其官，不舍者懦，強邦去之者，嬖妃；雄動搖者，勢不亡，期在衡。

The Shi school says: When a country loses virtue and fails to implement the proper policies of spring, the star of the year (the planet Jupiter) will fluctuate and lose its proper measure. If it moves forward (win), then the country corresponding to its position will have military conflicts, and the star will not stay in place. If it turns to retreat (shrink), then the country corresponding to its position will have troubles, its generals will die, and the state will fall. It also says: If the star of the year should stay in its place but does not, or should leave but does not, or although it stays in its place, it moves erratically, going south and north, east and west, without settling, this is called 'six dispositions' (six deviations). These are all cases of yin disturbing yang, ministers overpowering the sovereign, the sovereign facing great worries, and the three dukes suffering misfortune. As for which minister it refers to, it is determined by the official position corresponding to the star's position in the constellations. If the star does not settle, the person is timid. If the star leaves a strong country, it refers to the favored concubine. If the star moves vigorously, its power will not be destroyed, and the time of occurrence will be when the balance of the scales points to it.

（案《左傳》曰：‘魯襄公二十八年，梓慎曰：‘今茲宋鄭其飢乎。’杜預注曰：‘梓慎魯大夫也，’傳曰：‘歲在星紀，而淫於玄枵。’注曰：‘歲，歲星也。星紀在丑、斗牛之次，玄枵在於，虛危之次，明年當在玄枵，今已在玄枵，淫行失次也。’傳曰：‘蛇乘龍，’注曰：‘蛇，玄武之宿，虛危之星，龍，歲星木也，木為青龍，大次出虛危下，為蛇所乘也。’

According to the commentary in the original text: According to the Records of the Grand Historian, in the 28th year of Duke Xiang of Lu, Zi Shen said: This year, the State of Song and the State of Zheng may suffer from famine. Du Yu's commentary says that Zi Shen was a high official of Lu. The Records of the Grand Historian say, "The year is in the Star Command, and it has strayed into Xuanxiao." Du Yu's commentary says: "The year" refers to the star of the year; Star Command belongs to the Chou position, which is the constellation of Dou and Niu. Xuanxiao belongs to the Zi position, which is the constellation of Xu and Wei. The star of the year should arrive at Xuanxiao next year, but it has already entered Xuanxiao, which is moving out of order and losing its proper constellation. The Records of the Grand Historian says, "A snake is riding a dragon." Du Yu's commentary says: "Snake refers to the constellation of Xuanwu, which is the constellations of Xu and Wei; dragon refers to the star of the year, which belongs to wood, and wood is the Qinglong. The Qinglong should be in its own constellation, but now it appears beneath the constellations of Xu and Wei, so it is said to be ridden by the snake above."

傳曰：‘龍，宋鄭之星也。’注曰：‘歲星本位在東方，東方房心為宋，角亢為鄭，故以龍為宋鄭之星，’傳曰：‘宋鄭必飢，玄枵，虛中也。’注曰：‘玄枵三宿，虛星在其中也。’傳曰：‘玄枵，耗名也，土虛而民耗，不飢何為。鄭裨灶曰：今茲王及楚子皆將死，歲星棄其次，而旅於明年之次，以害鳥帑，周楚惡之。’

The small annotation continues: The "Zuo Zhuan" says, "Dragon, the star of Song and Zheng." Du's commentary explains that the year star is located in the east, and the two mansions Fang and Xin in the east are the territories of Song, while the two mansions Jiao and Kang are those of Zheng, so the Azure Dragon is regarded as the star of Song and Zheng. The "Zuo Zhuan" also says, "Song and Zheng will surely suffer famine, Xuxu, which is in the center of Xuxu." Du's commentary explains that Xuxu includes three mansions, and Xuxu is right in the middle. The "Zuo Zhuan" says: Xuxu is a name meaning exhaustion; the land is empty and the people are depleted, how could there be no famine? The minister Bizi of Zheng said: This year both the King of Zhou and the King of Chu will die, because the year star has left its proper mansion and stayed in the mansion of next year, thus disturbing the tail of the Southern Bird, and both Zhou and Chu will be affected because of this.

注曰：‘旅，客處也，歲星棄星紀之次，客在玄枵，歲星所在，其圖有福，失次於此，禍沖在南，南為朱鳥，鳥尾曰帑。鶉火鶉尾，周楚之分，故周王楚子受其咎。’經曰：‘十有二月，甲寅、天王崩，乙未、楚子昭卒，往年，宋鄭皆飢，則梓慎之占，各有其驗也。’）

The final note says: Du's commentary explains that "travel" means to reside as a guest; the star of years has left its proper sequence and is residing in Xuanxiao. Normally, the area where the star of years resides should bring good fortune, but now it has left its proper place, so misfortune falls upon the direction that opposes it, which is the south. The south is the bird Alauda, and the tail of the bird is called "tang". Chuniuhuo and Chuniwei are the territories of the Zhou and Chu states, so the king of Zhou and the prince of Chu suffered this calamity. The Spring and Autumn Annals records: in the twelfth month on the day Jiayin, the king of Zhou died; on the day Yiwei, the prince of Chu Zhao died. And the previous year, the states of Song and Zheng both suffered from famine. Clearly, Zizhen's prediction was fulfilled in each case.

又曰：“歲星去其舍，之他舍；所去失地，所之得地。歲星所居，而徙搖前後左右，人主不安。歲星不得其宿，其國必亡君。”又曰：“歲星修仁，順則喜，逆則怒。”甘氏曰：“歲星所處而不處，其國乃亡；既已處之，又東西去之，其國凶，不可舉事，用兵。歲星出入，不當其次，有天妖見其沖；所去國凶，所之國昌。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星當出不出，而去；其次凶。”《淮南子》曰：“歲星當居而不居，越而之他處，主死，國亡。”

It is also said that the star of years leaves its original dwelling and moves to another, causing the territory of the place it leaves to lose land, and the territory of the place it goes to to gain land. Although the star of years stays in one place, it moves around left and right, causing the ruler to be restless. If the star of years does not reach its proper dwelling, the country corresponding to that dwelling will certainly lose its ruler. It is also said that the star of years is responsible for promoting benevolence and virtue. If human affairs are harmonious, it is pleased; if human affairs are chaotic, it is angry. The Gan school says: if the star of years does not reside in its proper place, the country corresponding to that place will perish; if it has already settled there but then moves east and west unpredictably, the country corresponding to that place will be in danger, and great undertakings should not be carried out, nor should military actions be taken. If the star of years appears or disappears in a way that does not match its proper star division, there will be heavenly omens appearing in the direction opposite to it; the country that is left behind will be in misfortune, while the country it moves to will flourish. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if the star of years does not appear when it should, but instead departs, the star division it governs will be ominous. The "Huainanzi" says: if the star of years should stay but does not, and instead moves beyond its proper position to another place, it indicates the death of the ruler and the destruction of the country.

京氏曰：“樂不興，則歲失行。人君不行仁恩；破胎傷孕。春殺無辜，則星失度；不救，則弟殺兄，臣弒君。”班固曰：“政緩則歲不行，急則過分，逆則占。”郗萌曰：“歲星當移而不移，民有憂；諸侯四流，行不用其道，則凶。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星當居不居，其國失地；未當居而居，其國得地，期九十日。

The Jingshi School says: If rites and music are not practiced, the star of the year will lose its regular course. If the sovereign does not practice benevolence and kindness, destroys embryos and harms things that carry life, and executes the innocent in spring, the star will lose its normal path; if this is not corrected, there will be cases of younger brothers killing elder brothers and ministers killing their sovereigns. Ban Gu says: If government affairs are lenient, the star of the year will move slowly; if they are urgent, it will exceed its proper measure; if they are perverse, it should be used for divination. Xi Meng says: If the star of the year should move but does not, the people will suffer; if the feudal lords scatter and wander, and their course is not regular, it is an omen of misfortune. The Jingzhou Divination says: If the star of the year should stay but does not, the country under its domain will lose its territory; if it should stay but stays, the country under its domain will gain territory, and this will happen within ninety days.

歲星當居其國之宿，而終宿不居其野，亡。歲星未當居而居之，當去而不去，既已去復還居之，皆為有福。歲星行不至所當舍之宿，其國凶。”又曰：“不行其宿，其國必亡君。歲星行不至所當舍之宿，其國凶。”又曰：“不行其宿，其國必亡君。歲星居之安國，安居之；不安國不安。歲星一東一西，害侯王，人主不安；一南一北，害於泰稷，侯王憂；移而北，旱；移而南，大水。”又曰：“南北為貴賤，東西為妖祥。”

The planet Jupiter should remain in the constellation corresponding to a particular country, but if it refuses to stay there, that country will perish. If Jupiter is supposed to leave but does not, or if it has already left but returns, these situations are auspicious. If Jupiter does not reach the constellation it should occupy, the country under that constellation will suffer misfortune. It also says that if Jupiter does not reach its proper constellation, the country will certainly lose its ruler. (These two sentences are repeated in the original text.) If Jupiter remains in its place, the country will be stable; if it does not, the country will be unstable. If Jupiter moves east and west unpredictably, it will harm the king and cause unrest among the people. If it moves north and south unpredictably, it will harm the harvest of millet and cause worry for the king. If it moves north, it indicates drought; if it moves south, it indicates heavy flooding. It also says that movement north and south indicates changes in status between the noble and the common, while movement east and west indicates omens of good or bad fortune.

《鴻範傳》曰：“佃獵不當，飲食不享，出入不時，及有奸謀；則歲星逆行，變色。”《春秋緯》曰：“好害盛德，則歲星逆行。春政亂者，奪民時，獵野獸，則歲星逆行。”石氏曰：“歲星順行列宿者，天德喜也；所守犯中外官皆吉。有暴貴者，星逆行，不欲犯列宿中外官者，皆誅。歲星逆行，其國不可以興兵；星順，兵宜進；星逆，兵宜退。”《巫咸占》曰：“歲星亂行，五穀不實，草木秋英。”《天鏡》曰：“歲星逆行，不軌；為殃賊。”焦氏曰：“歲星逆三月，二月有害；乃行三舍以上，則為害。”郗萌曰：“歲星之行，當遲而疾，失一次以上至二次，則人主驚走，社稷危亡，天下兵起，民去其土，死者如兵陵。”

The "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: If hunting is not in accordance with the law, if food is not offered in proper ritual, if going in and out is not in season, and if one harbors evil schemes, the star of the year will move retrograde and change its color. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: If one delights in harming virtuous people, the star of the year will move retrograde; if the spring government is disorderly, if it encroaches on the people's farming time, if it hunts wild animals excessively, the star of the year will also move retrograde. The Shi school says: When the star of the year moves in order through the constellations, it is a sign of the heavens' virtue and joy; all the stars in the middle and outer courts that it occupies or passes will be auspicious, and there will be sudden rise to power. If the star moves retrograde, it is not appropriate to invade the constellations or the middle and outer courts; all those it passes will correspond to people who will be executed. When the star moves retrograde, it is not appropriate to wage war in the territory it governs; when it moves in order, it is appropriate to advance with the army; when it moves retrograde, it is appropriate to retreat. The "Wu Xian Zhan" says: When the star of the year moves in disorder, the five grains will not mature, and grass and trees will bloom in autumn. The "Tian Jing" says: When the star of the year moves retrograde, it is not following its path, which indicates the rise of demons and disturbances. The Jiao school says: When the star of the year moves retrograde in March, harm will already occur in February; if it moves retrograde beyond three mansions, it becomes a calamity. Xi Meng says: When the star of the year is supposed to move slowly but instead moves quickly, advancing more than once up to twice, the ruler will be alarmed and flee, the state will be in peril, the whole country will rise in rebellion, the people will leave their homeland, and the dead will pile up like hills after battle.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯守錯逆，其國殃咎；若守之滿六十日，災必應。歲星變色、亂行，主無福。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：“晉簡文咸安二年五月，歲星表色如太白，占曰：進退如度，奸邪息，變色亂行，主無福。歲星自於仲夏，當細小而明，此其失常也。又為臣強，七月帝疾甚，詔桓溫曰：少子可輔者，輔之，如不可輔，君自取之。賴侍中王坦之毀手詔，使如王尊輔政事，溫聞之大怒，將誅坦之等，是月帝崩。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Jupiter invades, stays, and moves erratically, the country corresponding to its position will suffer calamity and misfortune; if it stays for sixty days, the disaster will certainly occur. If Jupiter changes color and moves disorderly, the ruler will have no fortune. (Original commentary: According to the *Song Book · Astronomical Records*, in May of the second year of Jianwen Emperor's Xian'an reign, Jupiter appeared white like the star Tai Bai. The divination text says: If Jupiter advances and retreats in proper measure, then villains will be subdued; if it changes color and moves disorderly, the ruler will have no fortune. In midsummer, Jupiter should be small and bright, but at that time it deviated from the norm, indicating that the ministers would become powerful. In July, the emperor became seriously ill and issued an edict to Huan Wen, saying: If the young prince can be assisted, assist him; if not, you should take the throne yourself. Fortunately, the attendant counselor Wang Tanzhi destroyed this decree and changed it to follow the old precedent of having Wang Wen (probably a mistake for Wang Dao) assist in governance. Huan Wen heard this and became very angry, intending to kill Wang Tanzhi and others. In this same month, the emperor died.)

王者不行春令，興土功，作宮室，築城隍，治溝瀆，而奪民時；百姓怨嗟，則歲星盈當縮，順而逆；水旱不時，當出不出，變為妖慧，所見之邦，大兵起，國破主亡。王者行義，起宗廟，立無後，賑貧窮，存孤寡，省刑獄，賞有功，舉隱伏，禮賢良，發庫藏，罷徭役，寬賦斂，則星順度，無咎矣。

The king fails to implement the proper policies of spring, instead extensively engaging in construction projects, building palaces, fortifying cities and ditches, and excavating canals, thereby encroaching upon the people's farming time. The people complain and grumble. When the year star should be full, it becomes diminished; when it should move forward, it moves backward. Droughts and floods occur at inappropriate times, failing to appear when they should, transforming into ominous comets. Where such comets appear, great armies rise, and the state falls, the king perishes. If the king practices benevolence and righteousness, constructs ancestral temples, establishes heirs for childless families, provides relief to the poor, cares for orphans and the elderly, reduces legal punishments, rewards the meritorious, appoints retired scholars, honors the virtuous, opens the treasury for distribution, abolishes forced labor, and reduces taxes, then the year star will move in accordance with its proper course, and there will be no calamity.

人君宰相之治也，春不勸農民耕種，通溝渠，治城郭，而奪民時，百姓怨謗，則歲星盈縮，逆行變色；而天雨不時，有大旱與水；其無救，即天掊出，出則殃起，主農官及用事者憂。君行急，則歲星行陰道，行陰道，多水潦，王者內其心，恩在親威，功臣不錄。歲星行疾而遲，不及其次至二次，人主暗昏，國絕嗣，女后持政，大夫不服，民賊不禁。

When the sovereign and his ministers govern the state, if in spring they do not encourage farmers to till the land, dredge ditches, or repair city walls, but instead take away the farmers' time for farming, the people will become resentful and criticize. Then the planet Jupiter will lose its proper course, move逆行, and change its color. The weather will become disorderly, resulting in either great drought or great flood. If this is not corrected, the "heavenly punishment" will appear, and calamities will follow. Officials in charge of agriculture and those in power will all face troubles. If the sovereign governs with haste, the planet Jupiter will move along the yin path, leading to more flooding. At this time, the sovereign's mind is inward, his grace is limited to relatives, and meritorious ministers are not appointed. The planet Jupiter should move quickly but moves slowly, failing to reach its proper position, lagging behind by two positions. The sovereign is dull and unclear, the state will lose its heir, the queen mother will rule, the ministers will be不服, and the villains who harm the people will not be stopped.

歲星逆行，變色，其國逐功臣，殺太子，人主以妾為妻，內亂親戚。歲星逆行，不可以戰，色其所去國，五穀皆貴。君治逆，則歲星逆，逆行入陰道者，內事逆，逆行入陽道者，外事逆；君治逆不止，則星逆行不止。”《海中占》曰：“主好陰謀，侵凌諸侯，急兵革；則歲星逆行。”

The planet Jupiter moves retrograde and changes color, indicating that the country corresponding to its position will expel meritorious ministers and kill the crown prince. The king will take a concubine as a wife, and there will be internal strife among relatives. When Jupiter moves retrograde, it is not advisable to go to war. Observe the country that Jupiter leaves; the five grains will all rise in price. When the king governs in a perverse way, Jupiter moves retrograde. If Jupiter moves retrograde into the Yin path, internal affairs of the palace will be perverse; if it moves retrograde into the Yang path, external affairs of the court will be perverse. If the king continues to act in a perverse manner, the retrograde movement of the star will not cease. The "Sea Divination" says: if the sovereign delights in schemes, oppresses the feudal lords, and urgently uses military force, Jupiter will move retrograde.

甘氏曰：“歲星晝見，臣謀其主，國相有憂及死，有白衣事。”（《宋書天文志》曰：“晉惠帝永寧二年四月癸酉，歲星晝見。占曰：為臣強。初齊王冏定京都，因留輔政，遂專傲無君。十二月，成都、河間、長沙王乂討之，交戰及焚宮闕，國兵敗，夷滅之，殺其兄上軍將軍萛以下二十餘人。）《晉陽秋》曰：“孝武太元十一年六月甲午，歲星晝見，在胃。占曰：‘魯有兵，臣強。’十二月，慕容釗寇河東，崔遼使子寇、陳穎、朱序遣討之，釗走渡河。”

The Gan school says: When the star of years is visible during the day, it indicates that ministers and officials plot against the sovereign, the prime minister faces calamity or even death, and there will be an event known as the "white-cloth affair," which refers to mourning. (Original note: The "Book of the Song: Records of Astronomy" records that in the second year of Yongning during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, on the day of Guiyou in the fourth lunar month, the star of years was visible during the day. The divination text said: This is a sign of powerful ministers. At that time, Prince Sima Jing of Qi pacified the capital and remained in court to assist in governance, thus becoming arrogant and disrespectful to the sovereign. In the twelfth lunar month, Prince Chengdu, Prince Hejian, and Prince Changsha Sima Yi raised an army to attack him, and they fought against him, burning the palace gates. The army of Prince Sima Jing was defeated, his entire family was exterminated, and his elder brother, General of the Upper Army Sima Cao, and more than twenty others were all killed.) The "Jinyang Autumn" says: In the eleventh year of Taowen during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, on the day of Jiawu in the sixth lunar month, the star of years was visible during the day, located in the mansion of the stomach. The divination text said: There will be military affairs in Lu, and ministers will be powerful. In the twelfth lunar month of that year, Murong Zhao invaded Hedong, and Cui Liao sent his son along with Chen Ying and Zhu Xue to attack him (this sentence in the original text has errors and omissions), Murong Zhao retreated, crossed the Yellow River and went away.

《龍魚河圖》曰：“夫歲星主德慶，其神下為大乙之神。”巫咸曰：“歲星下為壯男，止於田野。”《漢武故事》曰：“西王母遣使謂上曰：“求仙而先殺戮，吾與帝絕矣；又致三桃，食此可得極壽；使至之日，東方朔死。上疑之，問；使者曰：‘朔是木帝精，為歲星下游人中，以觀天下，非陛下臣也。’上厚葬之。一本云：朔死，乘雲飛去，仰望大霧，望之不知所在。朔在漢朝，天上無歲星。”

The Longyu Hetu says: The planet Jupiter governs virtue and blessings, and when its star deity descends to the human world, it becomes the deity Taiyi. Wu Xian says: When the planet Jupiter descends to the human world, it takes the form of a strong man and stays in the fields. The Hanwu Gushi says: The Queen Mother of the West sent an envoy to Emperor Wu of Han, saying: You seek immortality and wisdom but have first committed killings; from now on, I will no longer communicate with you. The envoy also brought three divine peaches, saying that eating them would grant one a long life. On the day the envoy arrived, Dongfang Shuo died. Emperor Wu was puzzled and asked for the reason. The envoy said: Dongfang Shuo was originally the spirit of the wood deity, and was the planet Jupiter descending to wander among humans to observe the world. He was not your subject. Emperor Wu then gave him a proper burial. Another version says: After Dongfang Shuo died, he rode a cloud and flew away. People looked up and saw a great mist, and then could not see where he was. During the years Dongfang Shuo was in the Han dynasty, the planet Jupiter was not visible in the sky.

《二十八宿山經注》曰：“歲星為四慧，出於奎、婁，則邦豐熟，和平。”《考靈耀》曰：“政失於春，負星滿偃，不居春常。”石氏曰：“歲星德也，人主之象；其角反動，乍小乍大，若色數變，人主有怒。”又《天官書》曰：“人主有憂。”巫咸曰：“歲星大其常，且賦斂不常，民飢。歲星小，民且多疾，牛馬疫死。”《天官書》曰：“歲星大，即為嘉。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星始出大，而日愈小者，所居之國耗。歲星始出小，而日愈大者，所居之國利。歲星行宿，大而明，內實，天下安寧；小而內虛，其國不安，主有憂。”

The "Commentary on the Twenty-Eight Mansions and Mountains" says that the planet Jupiter transforms into four comet-like rays, appearing in the mansion of Kuí and Lóu, which signifies that the state will have abundant harvests of the five grains and peace throughout the land. The "Kǎo Líng Yào" states that if the spring policies are improper, Jupiter will become restless, retreating and not staying in its usual position for spring. The Shi school says that Jupiter represents virtue and is the symbol of the sovereign; if its rays are abnormally trembling, fluctuating in size, or frequently changing color, the sovereign will have matters of anger. The "Records of the Grand Historian: Celestial Officials" says this indicates the sovereign has worries. Wu Xian says that if Jupiter appears larger than usual, it signifies that taxation and levies have no fixed rules, leading to people's hunger and hardship; if Jupiter appears smaller than usual, it signifies that the people suffer from many diseases, and cattle and horses die from plague. The "Celestial Officials" says that when Jupiter appears large, it is a good omen. The "Jingzhou Divination" says that if Jupiter first appears large and then becomes smaller each day, the country corresponding to its position will suffer losses; if Jupiter first appears small and then becomes larger each day, the country corresponding to its position will gain benefits. When Jupiter passes through the mansions, if its form is large and bright with a solid interior, the world will be at peace; if its form is small and the interior is hollow, the country corresponding to its position will be unstable, and the sovereign will have worries.

甘氏曰：“歲星流，主死，失地。”巫咸曰：“歲星沉浮，國亡，有土功爭；又曰有憂，沉，數日不見，國亡；乍見乍不見，國憂喪。”《天官書》曰：“歲星出，如浮而沉，其國有土功；如沉而浮，其野亡；浮者見之，沉者伏之。”《荊州占》曰：歲星變色，逆行，相凌而斗；舍合留；舍環守；其國無道。”

The Gan school says: When the star of years moves unpredictably, it indicates the death of the sovereign and the loss of territory by the state. Wu Xian says: When the star of years suddenly sinks and rises, it signifies the downfall of the state and disputes over construction projects; another interpretation suggests there will be calamity. If it sinks and remains unseen for several days, the state will perish; if it appears and disappears alternately, the state will face misfortune and deaths. The Records of the Grand Historian, in its section on celestial officials, states: When the star of years appears, seeming to rise and then sink, the state in its corresponding region will have construction activities; seeming to sink and then rise, the state in its corresponding region will perish—here, 'rising' refers to its appearance, and 'sinking' refers to its concealment. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the star of years changes color or moves retrograde, and conflicts with other stars, or when it stays together with other stars or circles around them within the same mansion, it indicates that the state in its corresponding region is ruled by an unjust and corrupt government.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星生氣而為青穰者，明日大寒小雨；見此者，賁魚鹽貴，不出三旬。”《孝經內記》曰：“歲星生氣為青穰者，明日大寒小雨；見此者魚鹽大貴，不出三旬，皆可再倍；貴不過二十日止，所見之國，傷苗少實。天下有一歲十飢見者，不出其年，富民從其故鄉，王者不安，大臣坐事，不出二年，天下無布，練貴縑絮四倍，萬民大寒。”郗萌曰：“歲星出，穰長三尺；三日雨，若不雨，大霧。”甘氏曰：“歲星自暈，有喪。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the star of years produces clouds and forms a green 'Rang Qi' (a vapor resembling that of a heap of grain), there will be a severe cold the next day along with light rain; seeing this celestial phenomenon, the prices of fish and salt will rise, and within thirty days it will come true. The Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety says: When the star of years produces life qi and forms green Rang Qi, there will be severe cold and light rain the next day; seeing this celestial phenomenon, the prices of fish and salt will rise greatly, and within thirty days, the prices will double; this price increase will stop within twenty days. In the country corresponding to the area indicated by this phenomenon, the crops will be damaged and the harvest will be small. If the whole world experiences ten such signs of famine within a single year, within that year, the wealthy will leave their hometowns, the king will not be at peace, and ministers will be punished for their duties; within two years, there will be no cloth available, silk will rise in price, and the prices of fine silk and down will reach four times their original level, causing the common people to suffer from severe cold. Xi Meng says: When the star of years appears, the Rang Qi will be three feet long, and rain will fall within three days; if it does not rain, there will be heavy fog. The Gan school says: When the star of years produces its own halo, it indicates there will be mourning.

石氏曰：“歲星犯左角，天下之道皆不通；犯右角，天下王使絕滅。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯角，天下有兵，將相有憂；犯右角，右將憂。”石氏曰：“歲星入角，天下有兵；其行疾，六十日；行遲，百二十日，遠百八十日。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星出中道，天下太平；出陽道，旱；出陰道，多雨。”陳卓曰：“歲星出陰道，多陰謀。”甘氏曰：“歲星逆行入角，人主出入不時，若有急事，千里之行；一曰女子多死。”《孝經右秘》曰：“歲星在角，天下大病。”

The Horn mansion is the first among the Seven Stars of the Eastern Blue Dragon. The two stars, Left Angle and Right Angle, resemble the heavenly gate. Its territory corresponds to the region of Zheng. The Shi school says: if the planet Jupiter invades the Left Angle, the roads throughout the world will be unpassable; if it invades the Right Angle, the envoys of the kings will be cut off. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if Jupiter invades the Horn mansion, there will be warfare in the world, and ministers and generals will have worries; if it invades the Right Angle, the right general will have worries. The Shi school also says: if Jupiter enters the Horn mansion, there will be warfare in the world; if Jupiter moves quickly, the event will occur within sixty days; if it moves slowly, within one hundred and twenty days, and if it moves further, within one hundred and eighty days. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: if Jupiter travels along the central path, the world will be peaceful; if it travels along the yang path (south of the Yellow Path), there will be drought; if it travels along the yin path (north of the Yellow Path), there will be much rain. Chen Zhuo says: if Jupiter travels along the yin path, there will be many secret plots. The Gan school says: if Jupiter retrogrades and enters the Horn mansion, the sovereign will have no fixed time for going out or returning, or there will be urgent matters requiring a journey of a thousand li; another interpretation says it indicates many female deaths. The "Xiaojing Youmi" says: if Jupiter stops in the Horn mansion, there will be a great plague in the world.

石氏曰：“歲星乘左角，法官誅；乘右角，大將軍死。”郗萌曰：“歲星乘左角，為旱；乘右角，為水，為兵。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星乘右角，為后族家，若將相有坐法死者。”郗萌曰：“歲星居角，歲大熟。”又占曰：“歲星守角，為中兵；留兩角間，關梁不通，軍有興國，延邊城，境不通。”石氏曰：“歲星出入，留舍角，角為天田，歲星來入守之，其國五穀大熟，絲綿為平民大樂；守之百日不下，國有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter enters and stays in the Left Angle, officials in charge of law and punishment will be executed; when it enters and stays in the Right Angle, the general-in-chief will die. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters and stays in the Left Angle, it indicates drought; when it enters and stays in the Right Angle, it indicates flood and warfare. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter enters and stays in the Right Angle, it indicates that there will be events concerning the imperial family of the empress, or generals and ministers who die due to breaking the law. Xi Meng also says: When Jupiter stays in the Angle mansion, there will be a great harvest in that year. Another divination says: When Jupiter stays in the Angle, there will be military action within the capital; if it remains between the Left and Right Angles, then the passes and bridges will be blocked, the army will rise within the country, spreading to the border cities, and the communication at the borders will be cut off. The Shi school says: When Jupiter enters and stays in the Angle mansion, the star "Tian Tian" which is near the Angle mansion, which governs agriculture, will be affected. When Jupiter enters and stays in the Angle mansion, the country under its domain will have a great harvest of grain, the price of silk will be stable, and the people will be greatly at ease; if Jupiter stays for a hundred days without leaving, then there will be military conflicts in that country.

又占曰：“歲星守角中，五穀成熟，歲平安樂；守之百日，兵起。”又占曰：“歲星守右角十六日，君命眾子。”又占曰：“歲星守左角七日，朝去國有憂；去一尺七寸，天下同心。”甘氏曰：“歲星守角，王者大赦，忠臣用。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守左右角，其色黃白，小旱；民小厲。其逆行，即旱；其還，立雨；糴如故。又占曰：歲星犯左右角，逆行為旱，五穀不收。又占曰：歲星守角，一南一北，宜黍與稷。”

Another divination says: When the star of years stays between the two horns, the five grains will mature and the year will be peaceful and joyful; if it stays for a hundred days, there will be military actions. Another says: When the star of years stays at the right horn for sixteen days, the king will appoint titles and positions to the princes. Another says: When the star of years stays at the left horn for seven days and departs in the morning, the country will have worries; if it departs by one foot and seven inches, the whole world will be united. The Gan school says: When the star of years stays at the horns, the king will pardon the people and appoint loyal ministers. The "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years stays at the left or right horns, if the star color is yellow or white, it indicates a small drought and the people will have mild epidemics; if it moves backward, drought will follow immediately; if it returns, rain will come quickly, and the grain price remains the same. Another divination says: When the star of years invades the left or right horns, moving backward indicates drought and the five grains will not be harvested. Another says: When the star of years stays at the horns, if it sometimes moves south and sometimes north, it is favorable for planting millet and millet.

郗萌曰：“歲星守左右角，赦。一曰過十餘日，有赦不盡。又占曰：歲星守角處，其北五穀不收。又占曰：“歲星守角，政事急，有千里之行。又占曰：歲星守角為兵，傷大臣。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守右角，有大德令，期八十日。又占曰：歲星守右角處，其北五穀半收；守左角處，其南及守天田，有大水，五穀不成，大飢，人相食。”石氏曰：“歲星犯乘守左角，七日以上，天下大赦；守右角，賢士用，期七十日。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆乘陵左右角，其為日蝕，國有憂。又占曰：歲星犯天庭，臣為亂。又占曰：歲星守犯陵右角，為禍咎。又占曰：歲星舍，若食角，女子多死。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter staying near the Left and Right Horn mansions indicates a pardon; another interpretation says that after more than ten days, there will be a pardon but it will not be complete. Another divination says: If Jupiter stays near the Horn mansion and is to its north, there will be no harvest of grain. Another says: If Jupiter stays near the Horn mansion, government affairs will be urgent and there will be a journey of a thousand miles. Another says: If Jupiter stays near the Horn mansion, it indicates military affairs and will harm senior officials. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Jupiter stays near the Right Horn mansion, there will be a great decree of benevolence, expected to occur within eighty days. Another divination says: If Jupiter stays near the Right Horn mansion and is to its north, grain will be harvested only half; if it stays near the Left Horn mansion and is to its south, or if it stays near the Tian Tian star, there will be great floods, no harvest of grain, great famine, and people will eat people. The Shi school said: If Jupiter invades, overpowers, or stays near the Left Horn mansion for more than seven days, the whole country will be pardoned; if it stays near the Right Horn mansion, virtuous officials will be appointed, expected to occur within seventy days.

石氏曰：“歲星犯亢，天子之座則敗於君。又曰：歲星數入亢，其國疾疫。”巫咸曰：“歲星入亢歲有旱，絲綿貴；若守之三十日以上，有兵起，其年飢，人相食。”郗萌曰：“歲星入亢，行疾，國君受弔；有大飛蟲，驚動人心，期在百五十日。其行遲，至難期二百五十日中。又占曰：歲星逆行亢，其君不親政事，朝延多非其人。”石氏曰：“歲星經亢朝鄭，國有兵。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之亢，其年大熟，絲絮大貴。”

The constellation Kangle is the second of the Seven Northern Constellations of the Azure Dragon, governing the court of the Son of Heaven, and its corresponding territory is in the state of Zheng. The Shi school says: if the planet Jupiter enters Kangle, Kangle symbolizes the throne of the Son of Heaven, and the ruler will suffer damage. It also says: if Jupiter repeatedly enters Kangle, the territory corresponding to it will suffer from plague.

The Spring and Autumn Map says: if Jupiter reaches Kangle, there will be a great harvest in that year, and the price of silk will greatly increase.

郗萌曰：“歲星入亢，或東或西，去亢一尺若三尺，地大動，期戊己食時。”陳卓曰：“歲星乘亢右星，穀物滅左星，天下有奇令。又占曰：歲星舍亢，為歲小有水。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星舍亢，南地動。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍亢六十日，不下十月，有兵進來，守之，兵不用；國有名者死，退而守之，有客上來者，期十月。又占曰：歲星有留延中，為天下憂。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the mansion of the neck, whether it moves east or west, and departs from the mansion of the neck by one or three feet, there will be a great earthquake, and the time of the event will be during the time of the meal (early morning) on the days of Wu and Ji.

《海中占》曰：“歲星守亢，為地動。又占曰：歲星守亢，王者有德令，禾稼熟。又曰封侯有小話，國君受弔，飛蟲六畜，生非其類，為妖；有小賊，民多流亡，期百五十日，若一年。又曰居亢，歲旱。”郗萌曰：“歲星守亢，天子大令，國用忠臣，其守七日以上至四十日，國徵大賢，王者更政號，期百五十日；一曰大赦，使行九州。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯天府，邊臣為亂。”郗萌曰：“歲星守亢左星，為瞧旱不生；一曰多蟲蝗；守右星，五穀以水傷敗；一曰大兵，百二十日。”又曰：“歲星守亢十日而去，國大豐，穰庫倉餘。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星逆行，守亢，為中兵。”甘氏曰：“歲星犯守亢，逆行，失兵明色，王不用事。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the year star stays in the Neck mansion, there will be an earthquake.

石氏曰：“歲星犯氐，國無儲。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯氐左星，左中郎將誅死；犯右星，右中郎將誅死，皆期三年。”郗萌曰：“歲星入氐，不出其年，有赦。又占曰：歲星逆行氐，其君治宮室過制度。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星之氐，其歲熟，賤人有病。”郗萌曰：“歲星乘氐之右星，天下有大水，大兵；乘氏之左星，天子有自將兵於野。”《海中占》曰：“歲星居氐，五穀以旱傷。”郗萌曰：“歲星處氐西，歲多飢傷；北，有小賊，貴人多徙，牛多死，其肉殺人，南，觀多死，民多寒熱疾。”

The Root mansion is the third of the Seven Dragon Mansions, symbolizing the inner palace of the Son of Heaven, and its corresponding region is the state of Song. The Shi school says: if the planet Jupiter invades the Root mansion, the country will have no reserves. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if the planet Jupiter invades the left star of the Root mansion, the Left Middle General will be executed; if it invades the right star, the Right Middle General will be executed, and the fulfillment of these omens is within three years.

石氏曰：“歲星出入留舍氐者，天庫之星也；其國有急令，其歲則太平；還而守之，其國以兵致天下。又占曰：“歲星守氐，孽妾有喜者；或與月合在氐，而暈不出，四十日有千令。又占曰：歲星守氐，王者立后，期八十日。”甘氏曰：“歲星守氐，君有喜，若拜後，不出九十日；又曰皇后喜。”巫咸曰：“歲星守氐，國大飢，人民流亡。又占曰：歲星守氐，為民多疾病。”郗萌曰：“歲星守氐南，其年地動。又占曰：歲星守氐，逆行；其君不居其宮。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter enters, stays or leaves the mansion of Di, which is also the star of the celestial storehouse, the country under its domain will have urgent imperial edicts, and that year will be peaceful.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星守氐，諸侯人君有來入宮者，其行疾，期六十日；其行遲，百二十二日。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：宋後廢帝元徽三年十月丙戍，歲星入氐，五年七月，廢帝隕、安成王入纂皇統，後三年，齊受禪。）又占曰：“歲星守氐，為后夫人憂；謂東行反還，去兩星二尺，期一百二十日；去兩星一尺，期六十日；與兩星齊，期二十日；以赦解之。”陳卓曰：“歲星守氐，五穀蟲蝗，萬物不成。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守犯氐，成鉤已環繞之，其國飢，人君失時，政令不行。”。

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Di, there will be a prince or a king coming to the palace. If Jupiter moves quickly, the period is sixty days; if it moves slowly, the period is one hundred twenty-two days. (Original note: According to the "Astronomical Records" of the "Song History," in the third year of Yuanhui of the Later废帝 of the Song dynasty, on the day of Bingxu in the tenth lunar month, Jupiter entered the mansion of Di; in the seventh lunar month of the fifth year of Yuanhui, the Later废帝 was murdered, and the Prince Ancheng succeeded to the throne; after three years, the Xiao Qi dynasty accepted the mandate of heaven.) Another divination says: When Jupiter is stationed at Di, it indicates that there will be sorrow for the empress or the concubine. This refers to when Jupiter moves east and then turns back, being two chi away from the two stars of Di, the period is one hundred twenty days; one chi away, the period is sixty days; and when it aligns with the two stars, the period is twenty days; a general amnesty can resolve this. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Di, grain and rice will be infested by insects and locusts, and all things will not mature. The "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter is stationed and invades the mansion of Di, its path is curved like a hook and encircles it, causing famine in the territory corresponding to this mansion, the ruler loses the proper time for farming, and the government's policies cannot be implemented.

石氏曰：“歲星犯房，太子之身，居其所避之，九十日。”郗萌曰：“歲星入房三道，為天子有子。又占曰：歲星入房，十日成鉤已者，為天子惡之，以赦解之；又曰為后夫人喪，過房東行，復還反也。又占曰：歲星入房，更令；期百二十日。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入房，五穀豐，治太平，民無疾殃，有德令，期四月。”

The four stars of Fang Xu are also called Tian Su, which is the Bright Hall where the Son of Heaven governs and issues decrees. Between these four stars there are three paths: south, center, and north, and their territory corresponds to the state of Song. The Shi school says: if the planet Jupiter enters Fang Xu, it should affect the prince himself; if Jupiter is in its position, the prince should retreat, and the period should be ninety days. Xi Meng says: if Jupiter enters the three paths of Fang Xu, it indicates the Son of Heaven will have a son. Another divination says: if Jupiter enters Fang Xu and within ten days its path is curved like a hook, it is an ominous sign disliked by the Son of Heaven, which can be dispelled by a great amnesty; another interpretation suggests it indicates the death of a concubine or queen, referring to Jupiter moving east past Fang Xu and then returning. Another says: if Jupiter enters Fang Xu, it indicates a change in government policies, and the period should be one hundred and twenty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if Jupiter enters Fang Xu, there will be a bountiful harvest of grain, political peace, and the people will be free from illness and misfortune, with edicts of benevolence, and the period should be four months.

The next year in January, the Grand General Deng Ai and the Minister of Works Zhong Hui were both executed; the court specially pardoned the people of Shu, and in the autumn of the second year of Xianxi, another great amnesty was carried out.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star stays in the Room Mansion, the king's mind is peaceful, and the people can report the truth. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the year star stays in the Room Mansion, there will be a rebellious minister, nobles will have mourning, and the whole country will change its ruler.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星行房南，若犯守之，為大旱；行房北，犯守之，為大水。”《東官候》曰：“歲星守房，去復還，色不明，成鉤已，國有喪，白衣之會。”郗萌曰：“歲星中犯乘守房右驂，若右服，其大人，死所中，將相誅。”（案司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝明永平十六年正月丁丑，歲星犯房右驂，北第一星不見，辛巳乃見，房右驂為貴臣，歲星犯之，見誅。是後司徒邵穆與阜陵王延交通逆謀，自殺。）

The Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter travels through the southern part of the Fangsu constellation and further invades or stays there, it indicates a great drought; when it travels through the northern part of the Fangsu constellation and further invades or stays there, it indicates a great flood. The Dongguan Hou says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Fangsu constellation, and then leaves and returns, if the star's light is dim and its path is curved like a hook, it indicates that the state will have mourning events and gatherings for mourning. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter invades, dominates, or stays in the right骖 star or the right服 star of the Fangsu constellation (the four stars of Fangsu are like the horses pulling a carriage, with the inner two stars being the服 and the outer two stars being the骖), the person indicated by the star that is invaded will die, and the ministers will be executed. (Original book note: According to Sima Biao's Records of the Han Dynasty's Astronomical Annals, in the 16th year of Emperor Ming of Han's Yongping era, on the Dingchou day of the first lunar month, the planet Jupiter invaded the right骖 star of the Fangsu constellation, and the first star to the north disappeared, and reappeared on the Xinsi day. The right骖 of the Fangsu constellation symbolizes a high official, so when the planet Jupiter invades it, the high official will be executed. Later, the Minister of Works Shao Mu and Prince Fulu Liu Yan conspired secretly and plotted rebellion, and were later executed for their crimes.)

Xi Meng said: When the star of years moves retrograde, stays, invades, guards, overpowers, or humiliates the left and right骖stars of the Room Mansion, the monarch will die and ministers will plot secretly. If it moves retrograde and overpowers the middle path, the emperor will lose his position and die. If it moves forward and overpowers the middle path, the world will become peaceful. Another divination says: When the star of years does not follow the central path of the Room Mansion, it indicates the monarch does not reside in the Bright Hall. Another interpretation says it shows disrespect to the Bright Hall. Han Yang said: When the star of years invades the Room Mansion and the two small stars near it, the king will have worries. Xi Meng said: When the star of years invades and overpowers the two small stars, ministers will have faults; if the emperor does not respectfully serve heaven, he will cause the temple fires to break out. The king should not go out of the palace or descend the steps, because someone is plotting to hide in the temple. The Sea Divination says: When the star of years guards the two small stars, there will be three years of famine. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the star of years guards the two small stars and then moves away three inches, the king will lose power, the palace gates will not open, and the close ministers will cause chaos.

郗萌曰：“歲星守尾，為用事者當之，天下牢開，大赦。”巫咸曰：“歲星守尾，旱。”郗萌曰：“歲星守尾，成鉤已，夫人女君死亡。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守尾，王者賜後宮，立太子。”甘氏曰：“歲星入尾而守之，人主以嬪為後，政在臣下，期四十日。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯守尾，為女主，夫人、妃后惡之。”又占曰：“歲星留逆犯守乘陵尾，皇后有珠玉簪珥惑天子者，誣讒大起；后相貴臣誅，宮人出走，兵起宮門。”

Another divination says: When the planet Jupiter stops, moves backward, invades, stays, overpowers, or oppresses the Tail mansion, it indicates that the empress will deceive the emperor with jewels and ornaments, and false accusations will arise. Afterwards, ministers and high officials will be executed, palace attendants will flee, and military conflict will occur within the palace gates.

《春秋緯》曰：“歲星犯箕中，天下大亂，兵大起。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯箕，女主宮人有憂。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯箕，為天下大赦。”石氏曰：“歲星入箕，天下大成，其中有一星，民莫處其室養者，星在箕南，旱；在北，有水；箕踵者，歲熟。”巫咸曰：“歲星入箕中，伺其出日而數之，皆如期二十日，兵發，伺始入處數之，率一日，期十日，軍罷。”

Wu Xian says: if the planet Jupiter enters the middle of Ji Xu, it will stay there for twenty days, during which time warfare will break out; if calculated from the day it first enters, it will take about ten days for the army to disband.

郗萌曰：“歲星入箕，糴價三倍。”又占曰：“歲星入箕，中行病，宮中有口舌相讒事，期五十日，若百二十日。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入箕，盜大起，多鬥死者，歲不熟。”石氏曰：“歲星出箕，谷大貴，天下大旱，飢死過半。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行，入箕中，其君淫佚。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之箕，年多風。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍箕，箕者，燕之星也，歲星守之，其國以武致天下；六十日不下，其燕且有為致天下也。又曰：歲星居箕，多旱。”

石氏曰：“歲星犯南斗，為赦。”《北官候》曰：“歲星逆行，犯南斗，其君賞賜非其人。”《海中占》曰：“歲星入南斗中，死者甚眾。”郗萌曰：“歲星入志南斗，天下受爵祿，近期六十日，遠期百二十日。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入南斗中，水不可當。”陳卓曰：“歲星入南斗魁中，有殃。一曰歲旱，一曰斗為宰相，歲星入斗二十日以上，卿相有憂，太后惡之。又曰：逆行入斗中，必有亡國死王。”

The six stars of the Southern Dipper are the first among the seven stars of the Black Tortoise in the north, governing titles and honors, and also overseeing ministers. Their corresponding region is Wu and Yue. The Shi school says: if the planet Jupiter invades the Southern Dipper, it signifies amnesty. The Northern Officials' Divination says: if the planet Jupiter moves retrograde and invades the Southern Dipper, the ruler will reward those who should not be rewarded. The Sea Divination says: if the planet Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper, many people will die. Xi Meng says: if the planet Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper, people in the world will receive titles and salaries. The nearby occurrence will happen within sixty days, while the distant one will take one hundred and twenty days. The Jingzhou Divination says: if the planet Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper, the water will be so great it cannot be resisted. Chen Zhuo says: if the planet Jupiter enters the head of the Southern Dipper, there will be calamity; one interpretation says it signifies drought in that year; another says that the Southern Dipper symbolizes ministers, and if the planet Jupiter enters the Dipper for more than twenty days, officials and ministers will have worries, and the empress dowager will dislike this celestial phenomenon. It also says: if the planet Jupiter moves retrograde and enters the Dipper, there will certainly be the downfall of a country and the death of the king.

《北官候》曰：“歲入南斗，必有受祿增爵者。”石氏曰：“歲星經南斗，吳國稻梁大熟。”《春秋緯》曰：“歲星入南斗，五穀絲麻價平。”《海中占》曰：“歲星居南斗，五穀以旱傷。”郗萌曰：“歲星居南斗，河戍間道不通。又曰：歲星處南斗北，不利兒子；處斗西，歲多飢傷，民多死；處斗南，多病寒熱。

The Northern Officials' Manual says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper, there will certainly be someone who receives a salary increase and promotion in rank. The Shi school says: When Jupiter passes through the Southern Dipper, the rice and millet in the Wu region will have a great harvest. The Spring Orbit says: When Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper, the prices of five grains and silk and hemp will remain stable. The Sea Divination says: When Jupiter resides in the Southern Dipper, the five grains will suffer damage due to drought.

又曰：歲星處南斗北，歲早水、晚旱。”《北官候》曰：“歲星處南斗西，虎狼入國；一曰民多死；處南斗南，多亡狗。”郗萌曰：“歲星年南斗，旗不用，眾有天下。”《荊州占》曰：“曰：“歲星入南斗二十日以上，至二百四十日，主者用德，忠臣升位。”

It is also said that when the star of years stops north of the Southern Dipper, there will be much water in the early part of the year and drought in the later part. The Northern Officials' Manual says that when the star of years stops west of the Southern Dipper, tigers and wolves will enter the country; another account says there will be many deaths among the people. When it stops south of the Southern Dipper, there will be many lost dogs. Xi Meng says: when the star of years is at the Southern Dipper (the word 'year' is a distorted form of 'at'), there is no need to move the military flag, and the side that wins the people's support will possess the world. The Jingzhou Divination says: when the star of years enters the Southern Dipper for more than twenty days up to two hundred and forty days, the rulers will practice virtue and promote loyal ministers. The six stars of the Southern Dipper in the celestial officials' system govern titles, longevity, and positions of ministers and assistants; their corresponding region is Wu and Yue, so the divination for this constellation mostly concerns the appointment of officials and the conditions of the year, such as floods and droughts.

郗萌曰：“歲星舍南斗，處其北，牛多死，其肉殺人；處其東，馬多死。又曰：歲星出入留舍南斗，六十日不下，天下大流亡；退而守之，其國有兵，客大破。”《考異郵》曰：“歲星守南斗，君臣乖倍。”石氏曰：“歲星守南斗魁，失道者死。又曰：歲星守南斗，天下大飢，人相食。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守財斗，君臣俱明，天下更年，五禮更興。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of the year enters the mansion of the Dipper and is located to the north of the Dipper mansion, there will be a large number of deaths among cattle, and beef can even poison people; if it is located to the east of the Dipper mansion, there will be a large number of deaths among horses. He also said: When the star of the year appears, stays, and enters the mansion of the South Dipper, and does not leave for sixty days, there will be a large number of people fleeing throughout the country; if it retreats and stays at the South Dipper, the country corresponding to that area will have warfare, and the invading army will suffer a great defeat. The "Kao Yi You" said: When the star of the year stays at the South Dipper, there will be discord between the sovereign and ministers. The Shi school said: When the star of the year stays at the handle of the Dipper, which is the part in front of the South Dipper forming the shape of the Dipper, those who deviate from the right path will die. It also said: When the star of the year stays at the South Dipper, there will be a great famine throughout the country, leading to people eating people. The "Jingzhou Zhan" said: When the star of the year stays at the South Dipper (the original text says "cai dou," where "cai" is a corrupted form of "nan"), the sovereign and ministers will both be clear and upright, the country will change its era and calendar, and the five types of rituals - auspicious, ominous, military, guest, and ceremonial - will be revived.

《感精符》曰：“歲星逆行入南斗，守魁中，大臣國相逆，天下叛離，不同心，君臣不和；順行而守南斗，既去而復還，居之不久，易其色，常光明，天下同心，君臣和義。”《北官候》曰：“歲星逆行，守南斗，其國且有兵；一曰有軍來者；一曰客軍大敗。”郗萌曰：“歲星舍木，退而守南斗，其國且有兵，客軍大敗。”（牽牛為木星也。）巫咸曰：“歲星入南斗者，留守斗所守之國，當誅。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星犯南斗而守之，大臣逆謀，其國有兵，年大飢，人相食，歲大惡。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯南斗，百日兵用，大臣死。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯守南斗，有赦。”

The "Gan Jing Fu" says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde into the Southern Dipper and stays within the Dipper's main body, the ministers and the state chancellor will have rebellious intentions, the whole country will be in rebellion, people's hearts will not be united, and the relationship between the sovereign and ministers will be broken. If Jupiter moves forward and stays in the Southern Dipper, then after leaving it, it turns back, stays for a short time, and its color changes but remains bright, this is a sign that the whole country is united, the sovereign and ministers are harmonious and abide by righteousness. The "Bei Gao Hou" says: When Jupiter moves retrograde and stays in the Southern Dipper, the country will have warfare; another interpretation says there will be an army coming; another says that the invading army will suffer a great defeat. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters the mansion of the star associated with wood and moves retrograde to stay in the Southern Dipper, the country will have warfare and the invading army will suffer a great defeat. The original book's marginal note says: The constellation of the Ox is the position associated with the planet Jupiter. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter enters the Southern Dipper and stays there, the country ruled by the Dipper mansion will be punished. The "Chun Qiu Tu" says: When Jupiter invades the Southern Dipper and stays there, the ministers will plot rebellion, the country will have warfare, there will be a great famine that year, people will eat people, and the year will be extremely bad. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter invades the Southern Dipper, within one hundred days, there will be military action and the ministers will die. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter invades and stays in the Southern Dipper, there will be an amnesty.

郗萌曰：“歲星入牽牛，為天下牛車有行。”又曰：“歲星入牽牛，諸侯有失期者。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入牽牛，歲多水，虎狼害人，民人凍死，臣謀其主，民飢；貴人多死，小兒多死。”石氏曰：“歲星行牽牛，越貢獻金銀。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行牽牛，其君不愛親戚。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之牽牛、筋、皮，革大貴。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星之牽牛，歲水，民飢，有自賣者。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the constellation Niuzhu, all the carriages across the land will be in motion. He also said: When the star of years enters the constellation Niuzhu, there will be some princes who miss the court assembly. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years enters the constellation Niuzhu, there will be much flooding, tigers and wolves will injure people, the people will die of cold, ministers will plot against the king, the people will suffer from hunger; the wealthy will die in large numbers, and many children will die. The Shi school said: When the star of years passes through the constellation Niuzhu, the people in the region will send gold and silver as tribute to the court. Xi Meng said: When the star of years moves backward into the constellation Niuzhu, the ruler does not care for his relatives. The "Chunqiu Tu" says: When the star of years reaches the constellation Niuzhu, the prices of leather, hides, and other goods will rise sharply. The "Yuli" says: When the star of years reaches the constellation Niuzhu, there will be flooding, the people will suffer from famine, and some people will sell themselves to survive. The constellation Niuzhu corresponds to the star of officialdom, and it governs checkpoints, bridges, sacrifices, and cattle and horses. Its territory corresponds to Wu and Yue, so the divination texts often mention carriages, leather, floods and droughts, and checkpoints.

郗萌曰：“歲星乘牽牛，為天下有大水。”郗萌曰：“歲星乘牽牛，為人相棄於道。”又占曰：“歲星居牽牛，多旱；一曰居牽牛南三尺，旱。”《海中占》曰：“歲星舍牽牛，殺虎、狼入國，一曰守牛西，虎狼多入邑中者。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years enters and dominates the Ox mansion, and the whole country will experience a great flood. Xi Meng also said: The star of years enters and dominates the Ox mansion, and there will be a tragic situation where relatives abandon each other on the roads. Another divination says: When the star of years stays in the Ox mansion, there will be much drought; another says when it is located three feet south of the Ox mansion, there will also be drought. The "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years enters the Ox mansion, the cold and killing atmosphere follows tigers and wolves into the country; another says when it stays on the western side of the Ox mansion, tigers and wolves will enter the cities in large numbers. "Multiplying" means to dominate from above, "staying" means to rest in its position, and "residing" means to enter the mansion. The three have different degrees of importance, so their fulfillments vary accordingly.

郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍牽牛，三十日不下，天下大臣且有死者，致天斧鉞之中；九十日不下，大將出，客兵來，期不出三年。”《孝經章句》曰：“歲星守天關，在其北，民流死；在西，民以風災死，若虎狼入國；在其南，狗多狂、亡；在其東，不利嬰兒。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years appears in the constellation Niutou, disappears, stays, and enters its dwelling for thirty days without leaving, there will be death among the ministers of the country, falling under punishment and execution; if it remains for ninety days without leaving, there will be military campaigns by generals, and foreign troops will invade, and this will come to pass within three years. The "Commentary on the Chapter of Filial Piety" says: When the star of years stays at Tian Guan — Niutou is also called Tian Guan, which signifies a pass or bridge — if it is located to the north of it, there will be deaths among the people due to migration; if it is located to the west, the people will die from wind disasters, or tigers and wolves will enter the country; if it is located to the south, there will be many mad dogs and many lost dogs; if it is located to the east, it will be harmful to infants.

石氏曰：“歲星守牽牛，三十日至九十日，天下和平，道德明，四夷朝中國。”又曰：“歲星守牽牛，農人死於野，陰陽不和。”巫咸曰：“歲星守牽牛，馬、五穀多傷。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守牽牛，臣謀君，糴貴，三月乃復。”郗萌曰：“歲量守牽牛，為穀貴。”又曰：“歲星守牽牛東，春牛大癘；一曰居南，夏牛大癘。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years stays in the Ox mansion, if it remains for thirty to ninety days, the world will be peaceful, morality will flourish, and the four directions' barbarians will come to pay homage to the Middle Kingdom. It also says: When the star of years stays in the Ox mansion, farmers will die in the fields, and the yin and yang energies will be out of balance. Wu Xian says: When the star of years stays in the Ox mansion, horses and the five grains will suffer great damage. The book "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years stays in the Ox mansion, ministers will plot against the sovereign, the price of grain will rise, and it will take three months to recover. Xi Meng says: When the star of years (the original text says "years measure," which is a corrupted form of "star") stays in the Ox mansion, the price of grain will be high. It also says: When the star of years is located to the east of the Ox mansion, there will be a great epidemic among cattle in spring; another view says: when it is located to the south, there will be a great epidemic among cattle in summer.

陳卓曰：“歲星守牽牛南，五穀以水傷；守牛東，萬物不成，饑民流亡，六畜若牛多死病，大臣有謀事；守牛北，民寒凍死；守牛西，地氣發洩，歲多水。”《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星犯守牽牛，大臣謀其主，大人有戮死者，火犯眾火宮，火大起，道路不通。”甘氏曰：“歲星犯牽牛，留守之，為破軍殺將。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯牽牛，貴人多喪，諸侯失明。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years stays in the southern side of the Ox mansion, the five grains are flooded by water; when it stays in the eastern side, all things fail to grow, hungry people flee, and livestock, especially oxen, die in large numbers, while ministers plot against the sovereign; when it stays in the northern side, the common people suffer from cold and die; when it stays in the western side, the earth's energy escapes outward, and there will be much water in that year. The Wen Yao Gou said: When the star of years invades and stays in the constellation of the Ox, ministers plot against the sovereign, and the powerful are liable to be killed; if the Malefic of violence also invades the palace of many fires, there will be a great fire, and roads will be blocked. The Gan school said: When the star of years invades the Ox constellation and stays there, it indicates the army is defeated and generals are beheaded. Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years invades the Ox constellation, there are many funerals among the nobles, and the princes lose their discernment.

甘氏曰：“歲星入須女，有進美女者，大人有慶；若有女喜，立后，拜太子，期三十日；若九十日，宮人有受賜者。”《北官候》曰：“歲星入須女，諸侯有賀天子以美女，期三十日，若九十日。”石氏曰：“歲星須女，越貢獻金銀。”郗萌曰：“歲星居須女，宮中有水災，一日五穀有水傷。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星居須女，歲多水。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星留須女二十日，布帛大貴，期四十日。”巫咸曰：“歲星宿須女而逆行，其君不務農桑令。”

The Gan school says: When the year star enters the mansion of the Girl (Nu Xu), there will be a presentation of beautiful women, and the noble have joy; or there will be joy in the female aspect, such as the appointment of a queen and the designation of a crown prince, which should occur within thirty days; if it reaches ninety days, then there will be rewards given to the palace attendants. The Northern Officials' Divination says: When the year star enters the mansion of the Girl, the princes present beautiful women to the Son of Heaven as a tribute, which should occur within thirty days or ninety days. The Shi school says: When the year star reaches the mansion of the Girl, the distant regions present gold and silver as tribute. Xi Meng says: When the year star remains in the mansion of the Girl, there will be water disasters in the palace, or another interpretation is that the five grains are flooded by water. The Xuanming Divination (Xuanming Divination) says: When the year star remains in the mansion of the Girl, there will be more water in the year. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the year star stays in the mansion of the Girl for twenty days, the price of silk and cloth will surge, which should occur within forty days. Wu Xian says: When the year star enters the mansion of the Girl and then moves retrograde, the ruler will not be willing to earnestly promote policies encouraging agriculture and sericulture. The mansion of the Girl (Nu Xu) is also called the Girl's Mansion, which governs the cutting and making of silk and cloth, marriage and marriage alliances, and the production of textiles, so the divination verses concerning this mansion mostly discuss the empress, female artisans, and the price of silk and cloth.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星出入留舍須女，而守犯至三十日不下，小有有慶；五十日不下，更立侯王；六十日不下，兵起於野，冬入在春也。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍須女，不出二年，天下用兵。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守須女，糴石三百，民有自賣者。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星守須女，絲麻大貴。”石氏曰：“歲星守須女，國邑飢；一曰有喪，一曰大水，且主有女喪。”

If it enters during winter, the fulfillment will occur in the following spring. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter appears, disappears, stays, enters and resides in the constellation Niuniu, there will be warfare throughout the country within two years. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When Jupiter resides in Niuniu, the price of grain rises to three hundred coins per stone, and people sell themselves to survive. The Spring and Autumn Map says: When Jupiter resides in Niuniu, the prices of silk and hemp surge. The Shi school says: When Jupiter resides in Niuniu, the capital and cities suffer from famine; another interpretation is that there will be mourning, another says there will be great floods, and the king will suffer the death of a female relative.

郗萌曰：“歲星舍須女東，不利兒子；舍其南，多亡狗，狗多嗥；舍其西，虎狼入邑，民多風雷死；舍其北，多寒凍死；一曰多鼠。”巫咸曰：“歲星守須女，三日以上至二十日，去之一尺（《荊州占》曰：“去之三尺。”）以外，王者欲發財寶；若發女工伎，不出七十日。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the mansion of the girl to the east, it is unfavorable for children; if it enters to the south, there will be many lost dogs, and dogs often howl at night; if it enters to the west, tigers and wolves will rush into towns and villages, and many people will be killed by wind and thunder; if it enters to the north, there will be many deaths from cold. Another account says that there will be a plague of rats. Wu Xian said: When the star of years stays near the mansion of the girl for more than three days up to twenty days, and is more than a chi away from the mansion of the girl (the original note cites the "Jingzhou Divination" as saying "more than three chi away"), the emperor will soon open the treasury to use its treasures; or he will mobilize people skilled in textile work, and this prediction will be fulfilled within seventy days.

Wu Xian said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, and all things will not grow mature. He also said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, many widows will die; another view is that there will be joy for the noble. The book "Hai Zhong Zhan" said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, there will be matters concerning marriage and silk and cloth. Xi Meng said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, the position of the empress consort will have troubles; another view is that the concubine will take the place of the main wife. It also said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, the grain will not mature. The book "Xuan Ming Zhan" said: The year star stays in Xun Nv, there will be a great famine in the country.

甘氏曰：“歲星入虛，天下大虛。”巫咸曰：“歲星入虛中，伺其出日而數之，二十日皆為兵發，伺始入處之率，一曰期十日，軍罷。”郗萌曰：“歲星入虛，為天下大亂，政急，大人憂，有德令。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入虛，百二十日以上，有功臣封立侯國，邑其犯乘，守其東西南北，宰相有重誅者，必有德令。”

The Gan school says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Emptiness, the world will be empty and lacking. Wu Xian says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Emptiness, starting from the day it leaves, there will be military actions for twenty days; another view, based on its original position of entry, suggests that the period should be ten days, after which the army will disband. Xi Meng says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Emptiness, the world will be in great disorder, with harsh decrees, and the honored will have worries, followed by the issuance of benevolent edicts. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the star of years stays in the mansion of Emptiness for more than one hundred and twenty days, meritorious officials will be granted titles of marquis, given fiefs, and rewarded with land grants; if it invades, dominates, or stays in any of the east, west, south, or north of the mansion of Emptiness, ministers will suffer severe punishments and be executed, and then a decree of virtue will certainly be issued. The mansion of Emptiness, in the realm of the Star of Officialdom, governs ancestral temples, mourning, and wastefulness, and its corresponding region is Qi. Therefore, the divination related to this mansion often speaks of mourning, ancestral temples, and famine.

郗萌曰：“歲星逆行虛，其君簡祭祀。”石氏曰：“歲星經虛，齊國多美女。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之虛，五穀大熟。”郗萌曰：“歲星居虛，歲多水，五穀以水傷。又曰：歲星出入舍虛，一歲乃下，更元年。”《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星出入留舍虛，十日不下天下苦。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years is in the mansion of Emptiness moving backwards, and the ruler neglected the worship. The Shi school said: The star of years passes through the mansion of Emptiness, and Qi land produces many beautiful women -- the territory corresponding to the mansion of Emptiness is Qi. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" says: When the star of years reaches the mansion of Emptiness, the five grains are abundantly harvested. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Emptiness, there is much water that year, and the five grains are ruined by water. It also says: When the star of years appears, stays, and disappears in the mansion of Emptiness, and takes a whole year to leave, it is necessary to change the year and the era name. The "Five Stars Divination of Qi Bo" says: When the star of years appears, stays, and disappears in the mansion of Emptiness, and does not leave within ten days, the whole world suffers.

《孝經章句》曰：“歲星守虛，在東，民多暴死；守其北，不占；在其西，其歲少雨；在其南，王者宮中有憂；宰相之家坐，棄市。”石氏曰：“歲星守虛，七日以上，盡三十日，王者起宗廟，修陵，家有白衣之會，不出九十日。”甘氏曰：“歲星失色守虛，天子改服，不出六十日。”

The "Commentary on the Classic of Filial Piety" states: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Emptiness and is偏 in the eastern side, there will be many sudden deaths among the people; when it is stationed at the northern side, there is no need for interpretation; when it is偏 in the western side, there will be a year of scarce rain; when it is偏 in the southern side, there will be calamity in the imperial palace, the minister's family will be punished, and the person will be executed and their body discarded in the market. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Emptiness, if it stays for more than seven days up to thirty days, the emperor should construct ancestral temples and repair tombs, there will be gatherings of mourning in families, and the prediction will be fulfilled within ninety days. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter loses its normal brightness and is stationed at the mansion of Emptiness, the emperor should change his mourning clothes, and the prediction will be fulfilled within sixty days.

郗萌曰：“歲星守虛，天下兵大起。又曰：歲星守虛，君將離散，其卒多死亡。”又曰：“歲星守虛，食貴，民自賣。”又曰：“歲星守虛，三月以上，有裂土受爵者。”巫咸曰：“歲星入虛，留守之二十日不下，有立諸侯；六十日不下，國有死亡；百日不下，改年號，大臣戮死，期二年。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Emptiness, and throughout the land, great military campaigns will be launched. He also said: The planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Emptiness, the sovereign and generals will be divided in heart and mind, and a large number of soldiers will die. He also said: The planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Emptiness, grain will be expensive, and common people will sell themselves to survive. He also said: If the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Emptiness for more than three months, there will be people who will be granted land and titles. Wu Xian said: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Emptiness, if it stays for twenty days without leaving, there will be the appointment of feudal lords; if it stays for sixty days without leaving, there will be death and mourning within the state; if it stays for one hundred days without leaving, the era name will be changed, ministers will be killed, and this will occur within two years. The phrase 'split land and receive a title' refers to dividing counties and prefectures to reward meritorious officials. The mansion of Emptiness originally governs loss and mourning, so the longer the planet Jupiter stays, the more the outcome shifts from granting titles to death and changing the era name. The longer the days, the greater the calamity.

《海中占》曰：“歲星犯虛而守之，王者以凶改服，有白衣之會，不出六十日，天下飢；又民流千里，君臣離散。”（《宋書天文志》曰：惡惠帝永寧元年七月，歲星守虛、危，二年十二月，成都河間長沙王乂討齊王冏，交戰攻焚宮闕，冏兵敗夷滅，乂殺其兄上將軍蹇以下二十餘人，大安二年，成都改長沙，於是公私飢困，百姓力屈。）

The book "Sea Divination" states: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays in the mansion of Emptiness, the emperor will change his mourning clothes due to an ominous event, and there will be gatherings of people in mourning, which will not exceed sixty days, leading to famine across the land; there will also be situations where common people flee for hundreds of miles and the relationship between sovereign and ministers is disrupted. The original commentary cites the "Book of the Southern Dynasties · Astronomical Records" which says: In the first year of Yongning of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, July, Jupiter remained in the mansions of Emptiness and Danger; in the second year, December, the Prince of Chengdu and Prince of Hejian, along with Prince Sima Yi of Changsha, attacked Prince Sima Jiong of Qi, and during the battle, they burned the palaces, leading to Sima Jiong's defeat and his entire family being exterminated, while Sima Yi killed his elder brother, General of Upper Commandery Sima Jian, and more than twenty others; in the second year of Taian, the Prince of Chengdu turned to attack Prince Sima Yi of Changsha, thus causing both public and private sectors to fall into hardship, with common people exhausted of strength and resources.

郗萌曰：“歲星入危，政在臣下，期在四十日中。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入危，三月以上，有受爵土者。又曰：歲星入危，天下大亂，若賊臣起。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之危，民不寧處。”石氏曰：“歲星舍色南，雨血膏王室。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍危，六十日不下，國君死之。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter entering the constellation Wēi Sù indicates that the power of government will fall into the hands of ministers, and this should occur within forty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the constellation Wēi Sù for more than three months, someone will be granted a title and territory. It also says: When the planet Jupiter enters the constellation Wēi Sù, there will be great disorder in the country, or there will be rebellious ministers causing chaos. The "Chunqiu Tu" says: When the planet Jupiter reaches the constellation Wēi Sù, the people cannot live in peace. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter enters the constellation Wēi Sù on its southern side (the original text "se" is a mistake for "Wēi"), blood rain falls from the sky, staining the royal family. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter appears, stays, or enters the constellation Wēi Sù, and does not leave within sixty days, the king will die because of it. The constellation Wēi Sù in the Tian Guan (Star of officialdom) governs houses, palaces, and construction projects, as well as tombs and mourning. Its territory corresponds to the state of Qi, so the divination texts concerning this constellation often discuss earthworks and funerals.

石氏曰：“歲星守危，三月；若二十日，諸侯兵起。”甘氏曰：“歲星守危，立諸侯，天子更宮室，民多土功，若有哭泣事。”又曰：“歲星守危，民不寧。”巫咸曰：“歲星守危，徭役煩，賦斂眾，下屈竭，莫能俱不，惡其上，強凌弱，兵起。”又曰：“歲星守危，為多盜賊，人民相惡。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Rooftop Mansion for three months, or even only twenty days, the princes will all raise armies. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Rooftop Mansion, there will be the appointment of princes, the Son of Heaven will rebuild palaces, and the people will extensively engage in construction projects, or there will be mourning events. It also says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Rooftop Mansion, the people will not find peace. Wu Xian says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Rooftop Mansion, the labor service will be burdensome, the taxes will be numerous, the people's strength will be exhausted, and they will be unable to cope with anything, thus resentment will arise towards those in power, the strong will oppress the weak, and warfare will follow. It also says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Rooftop Mansion, there will be many bandits, and the people will hate each other.

《海中占》曰：“歲星守危，國有兵憂；一曰兵並起。”郗萌曰：“歲星守危，多雨，為來歲損。”又曰：“歲星守危，為大人蓋屋事。”郗萌曰：“歲星守危，處其東，民多飢死。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星守危，七日以上，去之四尺外，財王者治宗廟，高宮闕，不出四十日。”

The "Sea Divination" says: When the year star is in the position of the Rooftop Mansion, there will be military troubles in the country; another interpretation says that armies will rise up simultaneously in various places. Xi Meng says: When the year star is in the position of the Rooftop Mansion, excessive rain will damage the harvest of the following year. He also says: When the year star is in the position of the Rooftop Mansion, it signifies the Nobleman building houses. Xi Meng says: When the year star is in the position of the Rooftop Mansion and is biased to its east side, many common people will die of starvation. The "Jade Calendar" says: When the year star stays in the position of the Rooftop Mansion for more than seven days and is more than four feet away from it, the Emperor will immediately repair the ancestral temples and raise the palace buildings (here "cai" is used as "cai", meaning immediately), and the effect will be seen within forty days.

郗萌曰：“歲星守危，其君簡祭祀。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星入危，守之百日不下，穀貴。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星入危，守之三十日不下，諸侯兵起；六十日不下，其國亡；百日不下，穀貴，客軍將死。”郗萌曰：“歲星守墳墓，為人主有哭泣之聲。”

Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the mansion star, the ruler is negligent and brief in his worship. The "Xuan Ming Zhuan" says: When the year star enters the mansion star, if it stays for one hundred days without leaving, grain prices will be high. The "Xuan Ming Zhuan" also says: When the year star enters the mansion star, if it stays for thirty days without leaving, the feudal lords will raise armies; if it stays for sixty days without leaving, the country will perish; if it stays for one hundred days without leaving, grain prices will be high, and the general of the invading army will die. Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the tomb star—the mansion star has four tomb stars beneath it—the ruler's family will hear weeping sounds.

石氏曰：“歲星犯營室；犯陽、為陽有急；犯陰、為陰有急。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯營室，有土功之事。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入營室，過而去，人主有慶賜之事，天下當有受爵祿者。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行營室，其君用兵不時；一曰其君不還。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之營室，田宅大賤。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades Encampment Mansion, if it reaches the yang star, there will be urgent difficulties in the yang direction; if it reaches the yin star, there will be urgent difficulties in the yin direction. Xi Meng says: When the star of years invades Encampment Mansion, there will be matters concerning earth and wood construction. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the star of years enters Encampment Mansion, passes through and then departs, the ruler will have rewards and grants, and there will be someone in the world who receives titles and salaries. Xi Meng also says: When the star of years movesretrograde in Encampment Mansion, the ruler will use military force inappropriately; another interpretation says the ruler will go out and not return. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the star of years reaches Encampment Mansion, the prices of fields and houses will drop greatly. Encampment Mansion is also called Encampment Mansion, which governs palaces, military provisions, and earth and wood construction. Its corresponding region is the state of Wei, so the divination statements for this mansion mostly concern palaces, earthworks, and fields and houses.

郗萌曰：“歲星處營室東壁，半赦；其去陽之陰，天下喜，牢中虛。”又曰：“歲星處營室東壁北，入月不移，有兵七十日罷。”又曰：“歲星處營室東，食貴；處南，春食賤；處西南，馬牛賤。”《海中占》曰：“歲星宿營室東，民多徙去；處其北，民有憂。”《北官候》曰：“歲星舍營室，不順正道，其君吏不選者。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years stops between Ying Shi and Dong Bi, there will be partial pardons; if it leaves the Yang position and moves to the Yin position, the whole country will be joyful and the prisons will be empty. He also said: When the star of years stops on the northern side of Ying Shi and Dong Bi and does not move for a month, there will be warfare, and after seventy days the war will cease. He also said: When the star of years stops on the eastern side of Ying Shi, grain prices will rise; when it stops on the southern side, grain prices will be cheap in spring; when it stops on the southwest side, horses and cattle will be cheap. The "Sea Divination" said: When the star of years enters the mansion of Ying Shi on its eastern side, many people will migrate; when it stops on the northern side, the people will have worries. The "Northern Officials' Observation" said: When the star of years enters the mansion of Ying Shi without following the normal path, the ruler will appoint officials without careful selection.

郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍營室，八十日不下，其地半動；九十日不下，有急令；一曰大將出。”《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星出入留舍營室，主危。又曰：歲星守之，其國有急令。”《春秋緯》曰：“歲星守營室，天下皆以飢為憂。”《春秋緯》曰：“歲星守營室，其國有急令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the mansion of Camp, and does not leave for eighty days, half the area will experience earthquakes; if it does not leave for ninety days, urgent government orders will be issued; another view is that a general will go to war. The "Zi Bo Wu Xing Zhuan" says: When the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the mansion of Camp, the ruler will face danger. It also says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the country will issue urgent orders. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the whole world will worry about famine. The "Chun Qiu Wei" also says: When the star of years stays in the mansion of Camp, the country will issue urgent orders.

《孝經內記》曰：“歲星守營室，在其東，有喜事，期四十日應；在其北，民憂，期三十日；在其西，期四月、五月，糴貴，及黍貴十倍，有銅弊之事；在其南，不占。”石氏曰：“歲星守營室，人君施，不加親戚；宮中有火災，人君不安。”巫咸曰：“歲星守營室，為民多病疾。”

The Xiaojing Neji says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, if it is偏 in the eastern side, there will be joyful events, which will occur within forty days; if it is偏 in the northern side, the common people will have worries and troubles, which will occur within thirty days; if it is偏 in the western side, it will correspond to the fourth and fifth months, with a rise in grain prices, and the price of millet will increase tenfold, and there will also be disorder in the copper coinage system; if it is偏 in the southern side, there is no prediction. The Shi school says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the ruler may have generosity, but it does not extend to his own relatives; a fire will occur in the palace, causing the ruler to be anxious and restless. Wu Xian says: When the star of years stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the common people will suffer from many diseases. Although it is the same character "守" (to stay), different predictions are made based on the direction it is偏 in, resulting in four different interpretations: joy, sorrow, prosperity, and no prediction. This is the system of the Xiaojing Neji school, which determines auspiciousness and misfortune based on the four directions.

《海中占》曰：“歲星守營室，三日以上，王者去正殿，居省室，布恩德，赦有罪，則無咎。”郗萌曰：“歲星守營室，為土功事，糴貴。”又曰：“歲星守營室南，有遷王；一曰立后。”又曰：“歲星守營室，為大人忌，以赦令解之。又曰：歲星守營室，為宮中女有夭死者。”又曰：“歲星守營室中，為后夫人憂。”

The book "Sea Divination" says: If the planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Weiqi for more than three days, the emperor should leave the main hall and retreat to a side chamber for self-reflection, widely distribute kindness and mercy, and pardon criminals, thus avoiding calamity. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, it presages earth and wood construction projects and rising grain prices. It also says: If Jupiter is in the southern part of Weiqi, there will be a king who moves the capital; another interpretation is the appointment of a queen. It also says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, the powerful and noble will be wary, and an amnesty should be issued to resolve it. It also says: When Jupiter stays in Weiqi, there will be the death of a woman in the palace. It also says: When Jupiter is in the center of Weiqi, the empress and concubines will face worries. "Shengshi" refers to a side hall outside the main hall; retreating there, distributing virtue and pardoning criminals, is an old practice for the emperor to humble himself in response to heavenly omens.

《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守營室，其年國有得地。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“歲星近守營室，三日以上，王者避正殿，入省室；二十日以上至七十日，王者自整三軍，御賊；天下兵車行。”石氏曰：“歲星犯守營室，君有德者得地歸，與民爵。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯守營室，宮中有夭死，大人皆有土功之事。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯守營室，為女有宗廟事，以赦解之。”

The book Xuanming Zhuan says: When the star of years stays in Yingshi, the country will gain territory. The book Dili Xiyu says: When the star of years approaches and stays in Yingshi for more than three days, the emperor should avoid the main hall and retreat to a side chamber; if it stays for more than twenty days up to seventy days, the emperor should personally organize the military to resist bandits, and the whole country's army will be mobilized. The Shi school says: When the star of years invades and stays in Yingshi, a virtuous ruler will gain territory and have people submit, and will bestow titles upon the people. Xi Meng says: When the star of years invades Yingshi, someone in the palace will die prematurely, and the powerful will all start construction projects. The Jingzhou Zhuan says: When the star of years invades Yingshi, there will be temple worship matters on the side of women, and an amnesty will be used to resolve the situation. This entry is similar to the previous one from Hai Zhong Zhuan "avoiding the main hall and staying in the provincial hall," indicating that avoiding the hall, spreading virtue, and issuing an amnesty are common methods of appeasement when Yingshi changes.

《北官候》曰：“歲星入東壁三月，天下男子有慶賀，君受爵祿。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行東壁，其君決獄不以時，赦令不明。”石氏曰：“歲星居東壁，五穀以水傷。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星舍東壁，人心不寧。”郗萌曰：“歲星舍東壁北，民憂，期二十五日。”

The Northern Officials' Manual says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion for three months, there will be joyous events for men throughout the land, and the ruler will receive titles and honors. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter moves backward in the Wall Mansion, the ruler will judge cases out of season and issue pardons without understanding. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the Wall Mansion, the five grains will be flooded. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion, people's minds will not be at ease. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters the Wall Mansion on its northern side, the people will suffer misfortunes, and this will occur within twenty-five days. The Wall Mansion is the same as the mansion of the Wall, which governs literary works and records, and together with the Room Mansion, it symbolizes palace walls and buildings. Therefore, the divination texts often involve scholars, pardons, and construction.

又曰：“歲星出入留舍東壁，五十日不下，大人當之；九十日不下，土功大起；百日不下，國空有徙王。”又曰：“歲星出入留舍東壁，人民流亡，不歸其鄉；三十日不下，五穀貴。”甘氏曰：“歲星守東壁，王者有堯舜之治，四海同心。”

It is also said that when the star of years appears, stays, and enters the dwelling of Dongbi for fifty days without leaving, calamity will fall upon the powerful and noble; if it stays for ninety days, there will be a great flourishing of earth and wood construction; if it stays for a hundred days, the state treasury will be empty and there will be a king who moves the capital. It is also said that when the star of years appears, stays, and enters the dwelling of Dongbi, the people will flee and be unable to return to their homes; if it stays for thirty days, grain will be expensive. The Gan school says that when the star of years stays in Dongbi, the emperor will have the achievements of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, and the whole world will be united in loyalty.

郗萌曰：“歲星守東壁，人君施不加親戚，宮中有火災，人君不安。”又曰：“歲星守東壁，諸侯相謀。”又曰：“歲星守東壁，為大人衛守。”又曰：“歲星守東壁，為天下兵起；一曰秋兵起。”又曰：“歲星守東壁，為有土功事。”又曰：“歲星守東壁，為歲多晚水。”

Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the sovereign shows favor not reaching his own relatives, and there is a fire in the palace, causing the sovereign to be restless. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the princes plot against each other. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, the sovereign adds guards and soldiers for the powerful. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be military actions across the country; another interpretation says the military actions occur in autumn. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be construction projects. Also said: The year star stays at the Wall Mansion, there will be much rain in the latter part of the year. The Wall Mansion governs palaces and walls, as well as books and documents, so the phenomena of fire, construction, and garrisoning all fall under its name.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星守東壁，去之九寸，守四十日至百四十日，王者好文章，天下舉用文士，不出百八十日。”陳卓曰：“歲星守東壁，天下大赦。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守東壁，天下大興，有聖主朝延，君臣天下同心。”《河圖》曰：“歲星逆行守東壁，若成勾已，其君教令不明，人心不寧，木能害土故也。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, and the distance is nine inches, it will remain there for forty to one hundred and forty days. Emperors will favor literature, and the whole country will recommend and employ scholars, and this will be verified within one hundred and eighty days. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, the whole country will be pardoned. The *Xuanming Divination* says: When Jupiter is stationed at Dongbei, the whole country will experience great prosperity, there will be a sage emperor on the throne, and the sovereign, ministers, and people will all be in harmony. The *He Tu* says: When Jupiter retrogrades and is stationed at Dongbei, if its path forms a hook shape and stops, the emperor's decrees will be unclear, and people's hearts will be restless — this is because wood overcomes earth. The term 'cheng gou yi' refers to when Jupiter's retrograde path bends like a hook and remains stationary, which ancient people regarded as an ominous sign.

郗萌曰：“歲星入奎，其年五穀以蟲為害。居其南，春糴賤，牛馬繒帛皆賤；居其西，糴貴，凡物皆貴。民不安。”《海中占》曰：“歲星潤澤，出奎，有善令，變色入奎，有偽令來者；若出奎，有偽令，出使者。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“歲星之奎，有喜慶之事，若有赦令。”石氏曰：“歲星居奎，五穀以水傷；處奎中，有土功之事。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Legs mansion, the five grains will be damaged by insects. If it resides to the south of the Legs mansion, the price of rice in spring will be cheap, and cattle, horses, and silk will also be cheap; if it resides to the west, the price of rice will be expensive, and all kinds of goods will rise in price, causing the people to be restless. The "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years emerges from the Legs mansion with a bright and beautiful color, there will be good government orders; if it enters the Legs mansion with a changed color, there will be false imperial orders coming; if it emerges from the Legs mansion with a changed color, there will also be false orders, and envoys will be sent. The "Imperial View of Joy" says: When the star of years reaches the Legs mansion, there will be joyful events or imperial pardons will be issued. The Shi school says: When the star of years stays in the Legs mansion, the five grains will be ruined by water; if it stops in the middle of the Legs mansion, there will be construction projects involving wood and earth. The Legs mansion governs canals and waterways, and also military stores and warfare. Its corresponding region is the state of Lu.

郗萌曰：“歲星處奎中，有白衣之會。”《海中占》曰：“歲星處奎中，小赦。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“歲星舍奎南，牛馬繒布帛賤；舍其北，八月兵起，七十二日罷，或至三歲乃罷。”《海中占》曰：“歲星舍奎處其南，春食賤；處其東，糴乍賤乍貴，民移徙，不安；處其西，四月、五月食貴；處其北，民憂。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stops in the Legs mansion, there will be gatherings with people in mourning clothes. The book "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter stops in the Legs mansion, there will be small-scale pardons. The book "Imperial Viewing and Enjoyment" says: When Jupiter enters the mansion and stops to the south of the Legs mansion, cattle, horses, silk, and cloth will be cheap; if it stops to the north, there will be military campaigns in August, and the military will cease after seventy-two days, or it may last up to three years. The book "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter enters the Legs mansion and stops to the south, grain prices will be low in spring; if it stops to the east, rice prices will fluctuate and people will be unsettled; if it stops to the west, grain prices will rise in April and May; if it stops to the north, the people will have worries.

《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星出入留舍奎，有小旱晚多水雨，居左右者不占，其中者，外客軍且來矣。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守奎北，夷來降。”《洛書》曰：“歲石氏曰：“歲星守奎，大飢。”甘氏曰：“歲星守奎，其國道興，王者至仁行，忠臣並進，天下三年而平。”

The Qi Bo Five Stars Divination states: When the planet Jupiter appears, disappears, stays, or enters the Legs mansion, there will first be a minor drought, but later there will be much rain. If Jupiter is located to the left or right of the Legs mansion, no prediction is made; but if it is located in the center, foreign troops will come. The Yellow Emperor's Divination states: When Jupiter is stationed to the north of the Legs mansion, the barbarians will come to submit. The Luo Writing says: Age—here the original text is missing. The Luo Writing entry only has the character 'Age' and then proceeds to the Shi school's statement. The Shi school says: When Jupiter is stationed in the Legs mansion, there will be a great famine. The Gan school says: When Jupiter is stationed in the Legs mansion, the state will flourish, the emperor will practice supreme benevolence, loyal ministers will all be appointed, and the world will become peaceful within three years.

《海中占》曰：“歲星守奎，執法吏多死。”《海中占》曰“歲星守奎，逆行，旱，五穀耗；其順行，色潤澤，即星守天庫，多獄貴人。”又曰：“歲星守天庫，以飢起兵，若有客軍。”又曰：“歲星守奎，為有溝瀆事；一曰有水事。”

The book "Sea Divination" says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion, officials who enforce laws will suffer many deaths. "Sea Divination" also says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion and moves retrograde, there will be drought and poor harvests; if it moves forward, the star's color is moist and bright, which is equivalent to the star being in the Heavenly Storehouse, and many noblemen will be imprisoned. It also says: When the year star is in the Heavenly Storehouse star, there will be rebellion due to famine, or an invading army from outside. It also says: When the year star is in the Legs mansion, there will be projects of digging canals and building dikes; another saying refers to water disasters.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星守奎，王者憂之；一曰大人當之。”又曰：“歲星逆行守奎，女子多死。”《河圖》曰：“歲星入奎中而守之，國有匿謀，有兵起，人主有憂；若大臣當之。”甘氏曰：“歲星逆行入奎而守之，其君好攻戰，兵甲不息，人民流亡，不安其居。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter resides in the mansion of Legs, the emperor will be troubled; another view is that the calamity will fall upon the powerful officials. It also says: When Jupiter moves retrograde and resides in the mansion of Legs, there will be many deaths among women. The *Yellow River Chart* states: When Jupiter enters and resides in the mansion of Legs, there will be secret plots within the country, wars will arise, and the sovereign will face troubles; or the calamity will fall upon the ministers. The Gan school says: When Jupiter moves retrograde and enters and resides in the mansion of Legs, the sovereign will have a fondness for warfare, military campaigns will never cease, and the people will flee, unable to settle. The mansion of Legs is at the head of the White Tiger in the west, originally governing military stores and weapons. When Jupiter moves retrograde and resides there, therefore, all schools of interpretation conclude that there will be secret plots in the country and continuous warfare.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入婁，國有聚人，若有喪，期一年。”《海中占》曰：“歲星入居婁中，小赦。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之婁，牛馬大賤。”郗萌曰：“歲星居婁，五穀以水傷，歲多水。”《海中占》曰：“歲星處婁南，春食賤，牛馬繒帛賤；處其北，八月兵起，七十二日罷，遠期三年。”郗萌曰：“歲星處婁北，有奪地之君；處東，金器貴。”《海中占》曰：“歲星舍婁、胃，去婁、舍奎，有赦。”

《河圖聖治符》曰：“歲星守婁，天下赦。”石氏曰：“歲星守婁，三十日不下，天下平；九十日不下，國有兵，穀貴。”甘氏曰：“歲星守婁，王者承天得度，天下安平。”巫咸曰：“歲星守婁，王者承天位，天下安寧，有慶賀，有兵罷。”司馬彪曰：“歲星守婁，為兵為匿謀。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守婁中，又暈之，大赦；期九十日。”

The River Chart Sacred Governance Symbol says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the whole country will have a general amnesty. The Shi school says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion for thirty days without leaving, the country will be peaceful; if it stays for ninety days without leaving, there will be warfare within the country and the price of grain will rise. The Gan school says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the emperor will receive the mandate of heaven in accordance with the law, and the whole country will be peaceful and stable. Wu Xian says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, the emperor will inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven, the whole country will be peaceful, there will be joy and celebration, and warfare will cease. Sima Biao says: When the year star stays at the Bond mansion, it presages military affairs and secret plots. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the year star stays within the Bond mansion and is surrounded by a halo, the whole country will have a general amnesty, and this will occur within ninety days. The Bond mansion originally governs gatherings, so the same word 'stay' can be interpreted either as the emperor receiving the mandate of heaven and the country being peaceful, or as there being warfare within the country and the price of grain rising, depending on the number of days the star remains and the color of the star.

巫咸曰：“歲星守婁，民多疾疫。”郗萌曰：歲星守婁，有土功之事；一曰大熱。”又曰：“歲星守婁，歲多獄貴人。”又曰：“歲星守婁，有死君，歲大飢。”又曰：“歲星守婁，有白衣之會。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守婁東，有徙民；守其北，有兵；守其西，不占；守其陰，牢空，天下有慶賀。”

Wu Xian said: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, and many people will suffer from epidemic diseases. Xi Meng said: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood; another view says that the weather will be extremely hot. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, many noblemen will be imprisoned that year. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, the king will die and there will be a great famine that year. It also says: The year star stays at the Bond mansion, there will be gatherings wearing mourning clothes. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star stays at the eastern side of the Bond mansion, there will be migrations of the people; when it stays at the northern side, there will be warfare; when it stays at the western side, no divination is made; when it stays at the shady side, the prisons will be empty and the world will have good news to celebrate. "Staying at its shade" refers to the year star staying at the dark side of the Bond mansion, which is listed together with staying at the east, north, and west, following the old practice of dividing by the four directions.

又曰：“歲星守婁，有德令，牛馬多死，苑囿空虛。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守婁，去之五尺以外，守之十五日以上，至三十日，王者出祀四海、山川、百神，不出九十日。”《西官候》曰：“歲星守婁南，春糴賤，牛馬又賤，皆在歲月中；守其東，一貴一賤；守其中，有白衣之會，又有小赦。”

It is also said that when the star of years stays in the mansion of Lou, the imperial court will issue edicts bestowing grace, but many cattle and horses will die, making the royal parks and enclosures empty. The "Xuanming Divination" states that when the star of years stays in the mansion of Lou at a distance of more than five feet and remains for more than fifteen days up to thirty days, the emperor should travel to worship the four seas, mountains and rivers, and all spirits. This should be verified within ninety days. The "Xiguan Hou" says that when the star of years stays to the south of the mansion of Lou, there will be cheap rice and cattle and horses in spring, and these should all occur within the same year; when it stays to the east, prices of goods will fluctuate; when it stays in the center, there will be gatherings in mourning clothes and small-scale pardons. The mansion of Lou originally governs royal parks and sacrificial animals, so the "Xuanming Divination" associates it with worshipping the four seas and mountains and rivers, while the "Xiguan Hou" associates it with cattle, horses and grain prices, each explaining according to the affairs governed by the mansion itself.

《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守婁，六畜大貴，其國尤甚。”《海中占》曰：“歲星逆行守婁；甚其君牢吏，獄斷不以時，人多怨訟，若有赦令。”《感精符》曰：“歲星入婁，犯守之，有白衣眾聚；三十日不下，其國有兵；九十日不下，必有大喪，期三年。”

The Xuanming Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Lou, the prices of livestock will surge greatly, and the country corresponding to the Lou mansion will be particularly affected. The Hai Zhong Divination says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde and stays in the mansion of Lou, the ruler's officials in charge of the prison will be overly harsh, and cases will not be decided on time, causing people to have much resentment and lawsuits, and later there may be an amnesty. The Gan Jing Fu says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Lou and invades and stays there, there will be a large number of people in mourning gathering together; if it does not leave within thirty days, the country will have warfare; if it does not leave within ninety days, there will certainly be a great mourning, and it will correspond to a period of three years.

郗萌曰：“歲星犯胃，為天下谷不實；以食為憂。”石氏曰：“歲星經胃、昴、畢，趙水澇，魚行人道。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之胃，其年早霜。又曰：歲星處胃北，八月兵起，七十二日罷，遠三年。”郗萌曰：“歲星處胃中，有白衣之會；處其南，男子疾，一曰牛馬賤；處其東，民移徙不定，若食貴。又曰：歲星舍胃，是謂去陽之陰；有喜，牢空。”

《荊州占》曰：“歲星宿之逆行胃，其君不愛五穀。”《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星入留守胃，國家即妄動土功，事不祥，小人且亡絲綿布帛，有急令。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍胃，兵起，不用；一曰大人有憂；一曰十月小旱。”《巫咸占》曰：“歲星守胃，為兵災，萬物不成。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of the Stomach and moves backward there, the ruler will not cherish the five grains.

The *Wuxian Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of the Stomach, it indicates military calamity and the failure of all things to grow.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守胃，國以無義失幣；有水旱事。”甘氏曰：“歲星守胃，王者順天德，中畿國昌。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守胃，歲大熱；一曰五穀大熟。”郗萌曰：“歲星守胃，趙兵伐中國。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守胃，三尺以外，守入二十日，王者開倉廩，大賦天下，轉運不出百八十日。”

The Jingzhou Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Stomach mansion, if it is three feet away, after waiting twenty days, the emperor should open the granary and distribute grain extensively to the whole country, and the transportation of grain will not take more than one hundred and eighty days. The Stomach is the granary of Heaven, so all these interpretations, whether predicting good or bad fortune, focus on storage, relief, and grain prices.

《甄曜度》曰：“歲星入胃，犯守之國，有更令，大人有憂；若有禍殃，必有土功。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯守胃，鄰國有暴兵伐中國者。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯胃國，有變更之令，期四月；又曰天下獄空。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯守胃，天下無人。”

Xi Meng also says: When the star of years enters the middle of Hairy Head mansion, there will be a small-scale pardon. The book Xi Guan Hou says: When the star of years enters the mansion of Hairy Head mansion, the price of gold and silver treasures will rise. The book Chūnqiū Tú says: When the star of years reaches the mansion of Hairy Head mansion, the price of coffins will surge. Xi Meng says: When the star of years passes over Hairy Head mansion, if it comes out from the north, there will be worries in the region of the Yin side; if it goes out to the outside, the king will die. The mansion of Hairy Head mansion is also called Maotou and Tianyu, which presages Hu troops and legal cases and mourning events, and its corresponding region is the state of Zhao.

郗萌曰：“歲星居昴、畢間，赤色，大旱；一曰其國有大殃。”又曰：“歲星處昴南，男子病，歲旱早，水晚；處昴北，多暴雨；處昴東，徙民。”又曰：“歲星留之逆行昴，其君殺不辜。”《荊州占》曰：“歲量舍昴處南，有土功，民多口舌。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years stops between the mansion of Hairy Head and the mansion of Net, showing a red color, indicating great drought across the land; another view says that the country will suffer a great calamity. It also says: If the star of years stops to the south of the mansion of Hairy Head, men will fall ill, with drought in the early part of the year and much rain in the later part; if it stops to the north, there will be much heavy rain; if it stops to the east, the people will migrate.

郗萌曰：“歲星入留舍昴，五十日不下，必有死君，期三歲；若有死將，期四月。”又曰：“歲星出入留舍昴，其年早霜。”《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星出入留舍昴，胡人以出，其國無兵，禾豆耗，布帛貴。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守昴東，糴大貴，三月復；守北，其國有德令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head for fifty days without leaving, there must be the death of a king, and this will happen within three years; if it is the death of a general, it will happen within four months. It also says: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head, there will be early frost that year. The "Five Stars Divination of Qi Bo" says: When the star of years enters, stays, and resides in the mansion of Hairy Head, the Hu people will take action, but that country will not have warfare, and there will be a poor harvest of millet and beans, with high prices for silk and cloth. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the star of years stays to the east of the mansion of Hairy Head, the price of rice will rise greatly, and it will recover after three months; when it stays to the north, that country will have a decree of benevolence.

《孝經章句》曰：“歲星守昴在其南，糴一貴一賤，其月土功，有死君，變其政；在其東，金器刀劍貴；在其北，有別離之國，奪地之君，若死；在其西，不占。”甘氏曰：“歲星守昴，王者有德令。昴者，天之囚室，歲星近之，下獄之臣皆有解者，不出四十日。”

The "Commentary on the Classic of Filial Piety" says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Hairy Head and is偏 in the southern direction, the price of rice will suddenly become expensive and then cheap again; during that month, there will be construction activities, and the king will die, leading to changes in the government. If it is偏 in the eastern direction, the price of metal vessels and swords will rise. If it is偏 in the northern direction, there will be separated states, a ruler who seizes land, or someone's death. If it is偏 in the western direction, there will be no prediction. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the mansion of Hairy Head, the emperor will issue an edict of benevolence. The mansion of Hairy Head is the prison of heaven; when the planet Jupiter approaches it, all officials in prison will be released, and this will be verified within forty days.

巫咸曰：“歲星守昴，大飢；為萬物不成。又曰：歲星守昴，大旱；多火災，若有兵。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守昴，天倉實。”郗萌曰：“歲星守昴，夷狄勝中國。又曰：歲星守昴北，多暴雨。”又曰：“歲星守昴東，行至天天高復反，至五車邊，兵發；一曰為赦令。”石氏曰：“歲星入，若守天獄，天下獄虛。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, there will be a great famine and all things will not grow properly. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, there will be a severe drought, many fires, or warfare. The book "Sea Divination" said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, the Heavenly Granary star, which governs the granary, will be full. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, the barbarians will defeat the Central Plains. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed to the north of the Hairy Head mansion, there will be much heavy rain. He also said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed to the east of the Hairy Head mansion, it will move to the Heavenly High star and then turn back, proceeding to the vicinity of the Five Carriage star, indicating military action; another interpretation says it indicates a pardon. The Shi school said: When the planet Jupiter enters or is stationed at the Heavenly Prison star, the prisons across the land will be empty. The Heavenly Prison is another name for the Hairy Head mansion, and the Heavenly High and Five Carriage stars are also near the Hairy Head and Big Dipper constellations, so Xi Meng used the movement of the planet Jupiter in this area to infer military actions and pardons.

《河圖》曰：“歲星犯守昴，大臣有坐法死者，津關吏憂，人民飢多，食草實。”郗萌曰：“歲星中犯乘守昴，為兵，北征於狄；一曰近臣為亂；一曰白衣之會。”甘氏曰：“歲星守昴，王者失禮，陷於刑；大赦除咎。”郗萌曰：“歲星中犯乘守昴，天下有福；一曰近臣為亂。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the mansion of Hairy Head, the emperor will have improper conduct, fall into punishment, and must rely on a general pardon to remove the calamity. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter invades, dominates, and stays in the mansion of Hairy Head from the center, the world will have blessings; another interpretation is that there will be rebellion among close ministers.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星犯畢，出其北，為陰國有憂；出其南，為陽國有憂。”《聖洽符》曰：“歲星入畢口，將相憂，大人當之；期不出百八十日。”石氏曰：“歲星入畢中，邊有兵。”巫咸曰：“歲星入畢中，各伺其出日而數之，期二十日為兵發。伺始入處之率，一日期十日，為軍罷。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Net mansion from its northern side, there will be calamity in the Yin region; when it enters from the southern side, there will be calamity in the Yang region. The Sacred Harmony Symbol says: When Jupiter enters the mouth of the Net mansion, ministers will be anxious and worried, and the calamity will affect the powerful, with the occurrence within 180 days. The Shi school says: When Jupiter enters the middle of the Net mansion, there will be warfare at the borders. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter enters the middle of the Net mansion, starting from the day it exits, the occurrence of military action will be within twenty days; if calculated according to its original position of entry, another account says the occurrence will be within ten days, and the army will disband. The Net mansion governs border troops and hunting, as well as rain and water, and its corresponding region is in the states of Wei and Zhao.

郗萌曰：“歲星入畢，為其國易主。”又曰：“歲星入畢中，邊有憂兵。”《西官候》曰：“歲星入畢中，八十日若有百四十日，人君謀兵，大起。”石氏曰：“歲星出畢陽，則旱；出華陰，則水；為政令不行。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行畢，其君畋獵不時，若徙倚不明，其君不敬祠。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之畢，有德令。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, the country will change its ruler. He also said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, there will be military troubles on the borders. The Western Officials' Manual says: When the star of years enters the Net mansion, within eighty days or one hundred forty days, the ruler will plan for military action and launch a large-scale campaign. The Shi school said: When the star of years exits the Net mansion from its southern side, there will be drought; when it exits from the area north of the Huashan mountain, there will be flooding, and the government's decrees will not be effectively implemented. Xi Meng said: When the star of years moves retrograde in the Net mansion, the ruler will hunt out of season, or hesitate and lack clarity, and also be disrespectful towards worship. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the star of years reaches the Net mansion, there will be a decree of benevolence.

郗萌曰：“歲星居畢、昴間，色赤，大旱，國有大殃在王；一曰在民。”又曰：“歲星處畢北，其歲有赦令；有別離之國，奪地之君；一曰歲星處畢南，有土功，男子多疾；早旱，晚水；處畢東，多暴雨，金器刀劍貴。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years stops between Bi Xu and Mao Xu, its color is red, there will be a great drought, the country will suffer a great calamity, which should be on the king; another view says it should be on the common people. It also says: if the star of years stops on the northern side of Bi Xu, there will be an amnesty, there will be separated states and a ruler who takes land; another view says if the star of years stops on the southern side of Bi Xu, there will be construction projects, many men will be sick, drought in the early period and much rain in the later period; if it stops on the eastern side of Bi Xu, there will be much heavy rain, metal vessels and swords will be expensive.

又曰：“歲星出入留舍畢二十日，其國有以武致天下；絲絮布帛大貴，雨百斤千。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星出入留舍畢，三十日不下，人民流亡，不反故鄉。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星守畢，王者出遊獵；不出四十日，兵車行。”石氏曰：“歲星守畢中，國大赦，王賜夷狄，若有德令；一曰糴大貴。”

It is also said that when the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the Net mansion for twenty days, the country will gain the empire by force; the price of silk and cloth will surge, selling a hundred catties for a thousand coins. The "Jingzhou Divination" says that when the star of years appears, disappears, stays, and enters the Net mansion for thirty days without leaving, the people will flee and be unable to return to their homeland. The "Chunqiu Tu" says that when the star of years stays in the Net mansion, the emperor will go out for hunting; within no more than forty days, chariots will be deployed for warfare. The Shi school says that when the star of years stays in the middle of the Net mansion, the country will issue a general amnesty, the emperor will bestow gifts upon the barbarians, or issue an edict of benevolence; another view is that the price of rice will rise sharply.

巫咸曰：“歲星守畢，為大旱，多水災。”郗萌曰：“歲星守畢，萬物不成，國以飢亡。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星入畢，留守之三十日不下，人君有謀，大兵起，有攻戰，客軍敗，人民流亡，不反其鄉，期一年。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯守畢，年穀小豐。”《西官候》曰：“歲星犯守畢，軍亂國，有赦令，王者有賜夷狄，若有謀兵，期八十日，若二百四十日。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯畢、附耳，兵起，若將相有喪，憂也；若不，即免退。”

Wu Xian said: When the star of years stays in the Net mansion, there will be a great drought and also much flooding. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in the Net mansion, all things do not grow, and the country will perish due to famine. The Jade Calendar said: When the star of years enters the Net mansion and stays there for thirty days without leaving, the ruler will have plans, launch a large military campaign, and there will be warfare, the guest army will be defeated, and the people will flee and not return to their homeland, which will happen within a year. Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion, the grain will have a slight harvest. The Western Officials' Forecast said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion, the army will cause chaos within the country, followed by an amnesty, the emperor will reward the barbarians, or plan for military action, which will occur within eighty days or two hundred and forty days. Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years invades the Net mansion and the Ear Star, warfare will arise, or ministers and generals will die, causing people to be anxious and fearful; if not, then officials will be dismissed and retire. The Ear Star is one star beneath the Net mansion, which indicates listening to and discerning slanderous words, and it also shares the same governance over border troops as the Net mansion, so Chen Zhuo combined the two for divination.

石氏曰：“歲星犯觜觽，萬物不成。”石氏曰：“歲星犯觜觽，其國兵起，天下動移。”郗萌曰：“歲星入觜觽中，伺其出日而數之，期二十日，兵發；伺始入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”郗萌曰：“歲星入觜觽，五穀更貴更賤，歲一旱一水，天氣不和調；一曰有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades the constellation Zizui, all things will not grow properly. The Shi school also says: When the star of years invades the constellation Zizui, the country will experience warfare, and the world will be in turmoil and migration. Xi Meng says: When the star of years enters the constellation Zizui, starting from the day it exits, the military actions should occur within twenty days. Another calculation based on its initial position suggests the military actions should occur within ten days, and the army will disband. Xi Meng also says: When the star of years enters the constellation Zizui, the prices of grain will fluctuate, and the year will have both drought and flood, with the weather out of harmony. Another interpretation suggests there will be warfare. The constellation Zizui is the head of the White Tiger, governing the gathering and storing of resources and military reconnaissance. Its corresponding region is the territory of Wei.

郗萌曰：“歲星入觜觽，多盜賊。”又曰：“歲星逆行觜觽，其國君誅罰不當。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星之觜觽，兵器大貴。”《洪範傳》曰：“歲星舍觜觽，為白衣之會。”郗萌曰：“歲星入留觜觽，六十日不下，禾豆半傷，九十日不下，侯王見功。”又曰：“歲星出入留舍觜觽，二百日不下，客軍大敗，主人大勝；一曰山林空。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter enters the constellation Zizui, and there will be many bandits. He also said: When Jupiter is in Zizui and moves backward, the king will carry out punishments in an inappropriate manner. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" says: When Jupiter reaches Zizui, the price of weapons will rise sharply. The "Hóng Fàn Zhuan" says: When Jupiter enters the constellation Zizui, there will be gatherings where people wear mourning clothes. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter enters and stays in Zizui for sixty days without leaving, half of the grain and beans will be damaged; if it stays for ninety days without leaving, the princes and kings will display their achievements. He also said: When Jupiter appears, stays, enters, and resides in Zizui, and does not leave for two hundred days, the guest army will suffer a great defeat, while the main army will achieve a great victory; another account says that the mountains and forests will be completely emptied. "Entering and staying" refers to entering and then remaining still, which is different from "entering, leaving, staying, and residing," which involves repeated appearances and disappearances. Therefore, the number of days recorded and the degree of effect mentioned in the two accounts differ.

石氏曰：“歲星守觜觽，三日以上，王者大將軍出兵在道。”石氏曰：“歲星守觜觽，國有反者，民疫，天下大飢。又曰：歲星守觜觽西方，客動侵地，欲為君主，崇禮以制義，則國安。”又曰：“歲星守觜觽，君臣和同。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守觜觽，妖怪起，丁壯多暴死。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守觜觽，大臣且亡。”（魏時木守觜觽，後諸葛公亡。）

The Shi school says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui for more than three days, the emperor's great general has already led troops on the way. The Shi school also says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, there are rebels in the country, the people suffer from epidemic diseases, and the whole country faces great famine. It also says: If the star of years stays in the western part of the constellation Zizui, the invading army will move to seize land and wants to establish itself as a king; at this time, if the country can respect rituals and govern with righteousness, the country will be stable. It also says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, the sovereign and ministers will be in harmony and work together. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, strange and abnormal events occur frequently, and many young men die suddenly. The "Xuanming Divination" says: If the star of years stays in the constellation Zizui, the ministers will die. The original book's marginal note says: During the state of Wei, the star of years stayed in the constellation Zizui, and later Zhuge Gong died. The marginal note's reference to "Zhuge Gong" refers to Zhuge Liang, the chancellor of the state of Shu Han, which was in opposition to the state of Wei.

《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星守觜觽，六十日，五穀傷；九十日兵起。”石氏曰：“歲星犯守觜觽，不出一旬，民病瘧。”《海中占》曰：“歲星犯守觜觽，不出一旬，必有偵候之事；農夫不耕，天子皇后俱崩，期甲辰日。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星犯守觜觽三十日，五穀傷，其國大飢，民多餓，天下大疫，農夫不耕，婦女不績。”

The Qi Bo Wu Xing Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter stays at the constellation Zui Zhu for sixty days, the five grains will be damaged; when it reaches ninety days, there will be warfare. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu, within ten days, the common people will suffer from malaria. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu, within ten days, there will certainly be military intelligence about reconnaissance and scouting; farmers will be unable to till the fields, the emperor and empress will both die, and this will occur on the day of Jiachen. The Yu Li says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Zui Zhu for thirty days, the five grains will be damaged, the country will suffer a great famine, many people will be hungry, there will be a great plague throughout the land, farmers will not till the fields, and women will not spin thread. The three schools record different numbers of days, from sixty to ten to thirty, but the three events of grain damage, people suffering from plague, and military intelligence are interrelated in terms of their severity, and can be cross-referenced with each other.

石氏曰：“歲星犯參，水旱不時。”《聖洽符》曰：“歲星入參，天子更佈政，宰相不安，期六月。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行參，其君誅罰不當。”又曰：“歲星逆行，若留上衡中，為兵革起。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星處參東，若處伐東，多走民，多暴雨；處參西，若處伐西，多流民，從東方來，處參北，若伐北，衡水。”

The Shi school says: The planet Jupiter invades the Three Stars mansion, causing drought and flood to occur out of season. The "Divination of the Perfect Harmony of the Sage" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion, the Son of Heaven will issue new decrees, and the prime minister's position becomes unstable, with an expected period of six months. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde in the Three Stars mansion, the ruler will carry out punishments in an inappropriate manner. It also says: When the planet Jupiter moves retrograde or remains in the upper balance, warfare will arise. The "Divination of the Yellow Emperor" says: When the planet Jupiter stops in the eastern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the eastern side of the star Faval, there will be many fleeing people and frequent heavy rains; when it stops in the western side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the western side of the star Faval, there will be many wandering people coming from the east; when it stops in the northern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the northern side of the star Faval, there will be flooding. The Three Stars mansion is the body of the White Tiger, governing execution and warfare, and its corresponding region is the land of Wei.

郗萌曰：“歲星處參南，若處伐南，為易君；一曰大人多寒熱之疾；處參北，國有易相；處參東，若伐東，晚稼不成；處參西，若伐西，產子者多死；一曰老人多死。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星處參，所近者，是王者欲封為遠國君也，期一年。”郗萌曰：“歲星宿參，若宿伐者，為有反臣中兵也。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years stops in the southern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the southern side of the star of Felling, it indicates a change of ruler; another interpretation says that the powerful officials will suffer from fevers and chills. When it stops in the northern side of the Three Stars mansion, the country will change its prime minister; when it stops in the eastern side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the eastern side of the star of Felling, late-maturing crops will not be harvested. When it stops in the western side of the Three Stars mansion, or in the western side of the star of Felling, many mothers and infants will die; another interpretation says that many old people will die. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years stops in the Three Stars mansion, the person it is close to is the one the emperor intends to appoint as a distant king, and the time will be one year. Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the Three Stars mansion or the star of Felling, there will be a traitor hidden in the army.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入參，七日以上至七十日，王者欲出之他國，不出百八十日。”石氏曰：“歲星守參，國有反者，五穀更貴。”又曰：“歲星守參，天下農夫不耕。”又曰：“歲星守參，有赤星出參中，邊有兵。”甘氏曰：“歲星守參，其歲大疫，五者恐疫，木入金，其君危。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Sanxing and stays there for more than seven days up to seventy days, the emperor intends to travel to another country, and will definitely set out within one hundred and eighty days. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, there are people within the country who plot rebellion, and the price of grain becomes more expensive. It also says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, farmers across the land refuse to till the fields. It also says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, if a red star appears within the mansion of Sanxing, there will be warfare on the borders. The Gan school says: When Jupiter stays in the mansion of Sanxing, there will be a great plague that year, and people from all five directions fear contracting the disease. If the Jupiter, which belongs to the Wood element, enters the mansion of a Metal element, the ruler will be in danger.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星守參，多雨歲惡。”巫咸曰：“歲星守參，萬物不成，民大飢。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守參，多盜賊，高田貴，下田賤，其年樹木多爛。”郗萌曰：“歲星守參，晚稼不成。”《春秋圖》曰：“歲星入參，犯守之，其國以兵致天下；退而守之，士卒有驚，若離散，五穀貴；一曰水火為敗。”郗萌曰：“歲星入參、守伐，天下有兵驚，不足傷民，天下受兵事。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, there will be much rain and a poor year. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, all things do not grow properly, and the people suffer from great famine. The book "Hai Zhong Divination" says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, there will be many thieves, the price of land in high places becomes expensive, while the price of land in low places becomes cheap, and that year many trees will rot. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in the Three Stars mansion, the late-maturing crops will not be harvested. The book "Chunqiu Tu" says: When Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion and invades and stays there, the country will gain the world by military strength; if it retreats and stays there, the soldiers will be disturbed or even scatter, and the price of grain will be high; another interpretation says that the country will suffer defeat caused by water and fire. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters the Three Stars mansion and stays in the star of chopping, there will be military disturbances throughout the world, but it will not harm the people, yet the whole world will have to bear the burden of military service.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入東井，軍在外，歲星進，兵退；歲星退，兵進。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯東井，一南一北，侯王憂；又曰害於黍稷。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星犯東井，留二十日以上，易正朔。”又曰：“天下有土功，川瀆之事，期十月，若十一月。”又曰：“居其東，五穀不成；居其南，國君病，諸侯多死；居其西者，及兒子多死；居其北，有改令。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Well Mansion, the army is fighting outside. If Jupiter moves forward, our army retreats; if Jupiter retreats, our army advances. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter invades the Well Mansion, it moves suddenly south and north, and the king and duke will have worries; it also causes harm to millet and rice. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When Jupiter invades the Well Mansion and stays for more than twenty days, the calendar and system of months should be corrected. It also says: If there are earth and wood construction projects and river and canal works in the country, they should occur around the tenth or eleventh month. It also says: If Jupiter is located to the east of the Well Mansion, the five grains will not grow; if it is located to the south, the king will be sick and many princes will die; if it is located to the west, many children will die; if it is located to the north, the government orders will be changed. The Well Mansion is also called the Well Constellation, which governs water affairs and laws and punishments, and its corresponding region is the state of Qin.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星出入留舍東井，三十日，天下一國有水者。”陳卓曰：“歲星在東井，兵起，近期一年，遠五年。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星中犯東井，人君有戮者。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯守東井，王者法令急，多獄事，其年大水，民飢，天下改令。”郗萌曰：“歲星中犯乘東井，其國內外有兵起。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter appears, disappears, stays, or enters the dwelling of the Well mansion for thirty days, a country will suffer from flooding. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter is in the Well mansion, warfare will arise; the nearer the occurrence, the sooner the fulfillment within a year, the farther, within five years. The Huangdi Zhan says: When Jupiter directly invades the Well mansion, the ruler will kill people. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter invades and stays in the Well mansion, the emperor's laws will be harsh, lawsuits will be numerous, there will be a great flood in that year, the people will suffer from famine, and the empire will change its policies. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter directly invades and overshadows the Well mansion, warfare will arise both inside and outside the country. "Zhong fan" refers to the planet passing directly over, which is more severe than "fan," which means a marginal approach. Therefore, the fulfillment directly points to the ruler killing people.

（案孝武帝政和二年四月乙卯，歲星在東井，占曰：‘兵起，近期一年，遠五年。’到三年正月，匈奴入五原、酒泉，殺兩都尉。三月遣將軍廣利七萬人出五原，御史大夫高成將兵三萬人出河西，重合保馬通將四萬騎出酒泉，與虜賊，多斬首，廣利敗匈奴，積三年。又案魏甘露三年三月庚子，歲星順行，犯東井距星，占曰：‘兵起’。到景元元年己丑，太后令曰：‘昔日立東海王子齔，悖逆不道，自陷大禍，以民禮葬之。’京師嚴兵，積二年三月。）

The original book's marginal notes state that in the second year of Emperor Wu of Han's Zhenghe reign (the text originally says "Zhenghe"), in the fourth month of the year Yimao, the planet Jupiter was located in the constellation East Well. The divination text said, "War will arise, with immediate effects within a year and distant effects within five years." By the first month of the third year, the Xiongnu invaded Wuyuan and Jiushuiquan, killing two generals. In the third month, the court sent General Li Guangli with an army of seventy thousand to leave from Wuyuan, General Shangqiu Cheng with three thousand troops to leave from Hexi, and Rehe Hou Ma Tong with four ten-thousand cavalry to leave from Jiushuiquan, to fight the enemy, killing many of their soldiers. Li Guangli also defeated the Xiongnu, and the entire campaign lasted three years. Further examination shows that in the third month of the third year of Emperor Wei's Ganlu reign, the planet Jupiter moved in its normal course and invaded the star near the East Well constellation, and the divination text said, "War will arise." By the first year of Jingyuan, in the year Jichou, the empress dowager ordered, "The son of the Marquess of Donghai who was previously established is still young and has acted rebelliously and improperly, bringing upon himself great misfortune; he shall be buried according to the rites of a common person." The capital city was then placed on alert, and the entire period lasted two years and three months.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星去東井七寸，七日以上至一百五十日，則王者用法，大臣修度，天下和平。”石氏曰：“歲星守東井，河溢。”甘氏曰：“歲星守東井，法令急，多獄事，其年大赦。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守東井，歲大飢，人民疾病。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守東井南，男子多寒熱病。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter is seven inches away from the East Well, if it takes seven days to one hundred and fifty days, then the emperor governs according to law, ministers abide by regulations, and the world is at peace. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays at the East Well, the Yellow River will overflow. The Gan school says: When Jupiter stays at the East Well, laws and punishments are severe, and there will be many lawsuits and trials; there will be a great amnesty that year. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Jupiter stays at the East Well, there will be a great famine and people will fall ill. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* also says: When Jupiter is at the southern side of the East Well, many men will suffer from cold and fever. Although all these divinations refer to Jupiter staying at the East Well, the Shi school interprets it as river flooding, the Gan school interprets it as harsh laws leading eventually to a great amnesty, and the *Yellow Emperor's Divination* interprets it as famine and disease. This shows that the Well mansion oversees both water affairs and legal matters.

郗萌曰：“歲星守東井，大人多病，若有喪；守其北，多暴雨。又曰：歲星守東井，若將相死；一曰君死；又曰糴貴。”石氏曰：“歲星守東井，旱。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守東井，道上多死人。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守東井，水。”郗萌曰：“歲星守東井，百物五穀不成；久守之，金錢易。”陳卓曰：“歲星守東井，百川皆溢。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stays in the East Well, indicating many high officials will be sick or there will be funerals; if it stays in the northern part of the East Well, there will be heavy rains. He also said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well may mean the death of ministers or the death of the sovereign; another view is that grain prices will rise. The Shi school said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well indicates drought. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well indicates many deaths on the roads. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well indicates water disasters. Xi Meng also said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well means that all things and grains will not grow; if it stays there for a long time, wealth will flow away. Chen Zhuo said: The planet Jupiter staying in the East Well means that all rivers will overflow. Different schools have various interpretations here, some predicting drought, some predicting floods, some predicting high grain prices or the death of noblemen. This is because the East Well mansion combines the meanings of water and law, so diviners must combine the color of the planet, the number of days, and the direction it is staying to make an accurate prediction.

郗萌曰：“歲星入，若守東井，有士功事。又曰：歲星入犯乘守東井，留三日以上，其歲諸侯當之。”《感精符》曰：“五精入東井，從歲星聚，殺白而發黃，神奉絕，用兵卒亂，以義得天下。”石氏曰：“歲星逆行東井，有兵；一曰歲星守東井，有兵。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters or stays in the Well Mansion, there will be matters concerning earth and wood construction. He also said: When the star of years enters, invades, dominates, and stays in the Well Mansion, and remains for more than three days, the calamity of this year will be borne by the feudal princes. The "Gan Jing Fu" says: The spirits of the five stars all enter the Well Mansion, following the star of years to gather, the white and severe qi retreats and yellow qi emerges, the worship of deities is cut off, armies are used but soldiers become disordered, ultimately gaining the world through righteousness. The Shi school said: When the star of yearsretrograde in the Well Mansion, there will be warfare; another view says when the star of years stays in the Well Mansion, there will be warfare.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：“晉永興二年九月，歲星守東井，占曰：有兵，井又秦分也。是年荀睎破公師蕃，張方破范陽王虓，關西諸將攻河間，王顒顒奔走，東海王迎殺之。”）郗萌曰：“歲星逆行東井，其君出入不時。”陳卓曰：“歲星逆行東井，山川壅寒。”又曰：“歲星中犯乘守東井若鉞，人君有戮死者。”又曰：“歲星環繞鉞，諸侯誅；一曰赦。”

The original book's marginal notes cite the "Book of the Later Han, Records of Astronomy" which says: In the second year of Yongxing during the Jin dynasty, in the ninth month, the planet Jupiter was stationed in the Well mansion. The divination text said that there would be warfare. The Well mansion is also the celestial region corresponding to the state of Qin. In this year, Xun Xi defeated Gong Shi Fan, Zhang Fang defeated Prince Fanyang Wang Sima Xiao, and the generals in the western pass attacked Prince Hejian Wang. Prince Sima Yong fled, and Prince Donghai Wang brought him back, but killed him on the way. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter is in the Well mansion and moves retrograde, the ruler has no fixed time for going out or coming back. Chen Zhuo said: When the planet Jupiter is in the Well mansion and moves retrograde, mountains and rivers are blocked. He also said: When the planet Jupiter approaches, invades, and stays in the Well mansion or the钺 star, the ruler will kill people. Another saying is that there will be an amnesty. The钺 star is attached before the Well mansion, indicating a death sentence, so when the planet Jupiter circles around it, it indicates that the princes will be executed.

（案魏武帝甘露二年八月壬年，歲星犯鉞，其年九月庚寅，歲星逆行井鉞，到三年，徵東將軍諸葛誕誅，積六月應。）《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入鉞，大臣誅，一曰歲星入鉞，賢相死。”郗萌曰：“歲星干鉞者，為斧鉞用。”又曰：“歲星中犯乘守鉞，其國內亂，兵起。”

The original book's marginal notes state that in the second year of Wei's Ganlu period, in August on a day with the stem-branch Jinni (the text has an error in the stem-branch), the planet Jupiter invaded the star Yue; in the same year, in September on the day of Gengyin, Jupiter was in the Well mansion and the Yue star, moving retrograde; by the third year, the general of the Eastern Expedition, Zhuge Dan, was executed, and this lasted six months before the prediction came true. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: when Jupiter enters the Yue star, a minister will be executed; another version says when Jupiter enters the Yue star, a virtuous prime minister will die. Xi Meng says: when Jupiter violates the Yue star, the ruler will actively use the斧钺 (axe and halberd) punishment. It also says: when Jupiter invades, dominates, and stays in the Yue star from the center, the country will experience internal disorder and warfare will arise.

郗萌曰：“歲星入輿鬼，相誅。”巫咸曰：“歲星入輿鬼，為十日以上，金錢大散於諸侯；期六十日，若十月。”石氏曰：“木入輿鬼，大臣誅；一曰亂臣在內。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter enters the Ghost Mansion, and the prime minister is executed. Wu Xian said: If Jupiter enters the Ghost Mansion for more than ten days, a large amount of money is distributed to the feudal princes, the fulfillment period is sixty days or ten months. The Shi school said: When Jupiter enters the Ghost Mansion, the ministers are executed; another view is that the traitorous ministers are within the court. The Ghost Mansion is also called Ghost Mansion, which governs rituals for ghosts and spirits and matters of death and mourning. The accumulated corpse qi within this mansion is also called the celestial corpse. Its territory corresponds to the state of Qin, so the divination texts for this mansion often discuss executions, great mourning, and the distribution of money.

（案漢孝武帝后元二年十月戊午，歲星在輿鬼中，占曰：大臣有誅者；一曰有金錢之賜令，近期一年，遠五年。到昭帝始元二年二月，賜諸侯王，列侯進宗宣，金錢各有差。七月賜天下民牛酒，到四年六月，復賜丞相以下至郎吏，錢帛各有差。延尉李種有罪，棄市。在期內如占說。又案漢宣帝元康二年六月，歲星入輿鬼，到四年三月乃出，占曰：歲星入輿鬼，滿數十日，金錢帛之施諸侯；一曰大臣誅；一曰歲樂糴石三四十錢，一曰有大喪，近期一年，遠五年。其月詔賜天下將吏二千石，諸宗室高年錢帛，男子爵女子牛酒，是比年豐穀石五錢，大司馬衛將軍張安世薨，到神爵蓋寬饒有罪自殺。又案魏甘露四年四月甲申，木犯輿鬼東南星，東南星主兵，占曰：木入輿鬼，大臣有誅者，金錢之令，到景元元年五月，尚書王經伏誅，到六月，當逆鄉公即位，賜天下民爵，積一年二月也。）

The original book's annotations and verification state: In the second year of Houyuan of Emperor Wu of Han, in the tenth month, the star of Jupiter was in the Ghost Mansion, and the divination text said that there would be ministers being executed; another interpretation said there would be an imperial decree granting money. The nearer prediction came true within one year, and the farther within five years. In the second year of Shiyuan of Emperor Zhao, in the second month, the emperor granted money to the marquises and the marquises of the state and the marquises of the county, with different amounts. In the seventh month, the emperor granted beef and wine to all the people. In the sixth month of the fourth year, he again granted money and silk to officials from the chancellor down to the attendants, with different amounts. The official Li Zhong of the Court of Justice committed a crime and was executed and his body was displayed in the market. All these events fell within the predicted time, matching the divination text. Further verification shows that in the second year of Yuankang of Emperor Xuandi, in June, the star of Jupiter entered the Ghost Mansion, and it did not leave until March of the fourth year. The divination text said that when the star of Jupiter stays in the Ghost Mansion for dozens of days, money and silk should be given to the princes; another interpretation said that ministers would be executed; another said that the harvest would be good and the price of rice would be low, one stone of rice costing only thirty to forty coins; another said there would be a great mourning, with the nearer prediction coming true within one year and the farther within five years. In the same month, an imperial decree was issued granting money and silk to officials of the rank of two thousand stones and the elderly in the royal family. Men were granted titles of nobility, and women were given cattle and wine. After that, there were consecutive years of good harvests, with the price of rice at one stone being only five coins. The general-in-chief Wei General Zhang Anshi died. In the Shenshuo period, Gai Kuanaiao committed a crime and committed suicide. Further verification shows that in the fourth year of Ganlu of the Wei dynasty, in April, the star of Jupiter invaded the southeast star of the Ghost Mansion, and the southeast star governs military affairs. The divination text said that when the star of Jupiter enters the Ghost Mansion, ministers would be executed, and there would be an imperial decree granting money. In the fifth month of Jingyuan of the first year, the official Wang Jing of the Secretariat was executed. In the sixth month, the Prince Changdao Xianggong ascended the throne, and the emperor granted titles of nobility to all the people. The entire period lasted one year and two months.

石氏曰：“木犯守鬼、積尸，邦有兵；犯南星，王有疾，崩，若戮死者；近布帛發佈帛，近金錢發金錢，近馬發馬，近兵發兵；七寸以內為近。其守之三日以上，所發明審也。”又曰：“歲星逆行，出鬼陽，男坐之；陰，女坐之；出鬼左，貴女坐之；右，為貴人坐之；抵其中央，君坐之。”

The Shi school says: When the Jupiter star invades and stays at the Ghost Mansion and the Accumulated Corpse Cloud, there will be warfare in the country; if it invades the southern star of the Ghost Mansion, the king will fall ill, die, or be killed. If it approaches the star governing silk and cloth, it will issue silk and cloth; if it approaches the star governing money, it will issue money; if it approaches the star governing horses, it will issue horses; if it approaches the star governing weapons, it will issue weapons. If the distance is within seven inches, it is considered close. If it stays for more than three days, the things issued will be particularly clear and definite. It also says: When the Jupiter star moves retrograde, if it comes out from the yang position of the Ghost Mansion, a man will be guilty; if it comes out from the yin position, a woman will be guilty; if it comes out from the left side of the Ghost Mansion, a noblewoman will be guilty; if it comes out from the right side, a nobleman will be guilty; if it directly reaches the center of the Ghost Mansion, the monarch will be guilty.

郗萌曰：“歲星去五諸侯，入輿鬼，諸侯世子有疾死者；期六十日。去天高，入輿鬼，不出百二十日，大人惡之。”石氏曰：“歲星出入留舍輿鬼，五十日不下，有大喪；六十日不下，國相不明；百日不下，民半死。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years departs from the five feudal lords' stars and enters the Ghost Mansion, the嫡 son of the feudal lords will die of illness, and this will happen within sixty days. If it departs from the Tian Gao star and enters the Ghost Mansion, there will be anxiety and aversion among the powerful within a hundred and twenty days. The Shi school said: If the star of years appears, stays, or resides in the Ghost Mansion for fifty days without departing, there will be a great mourning; if it remains for sixty days without departing, the prime minister will be confused and unclear; if it remains for a hundred days without departing, half the people will die.

郗萌曰：“歲星舍輿鬼東北，麻豆成，稻不成；舍東南，豆麥熟，有渴死人；舍西南，萬民多喪；舍西北，黍稷成，麥不成，早蠶不熟，晚蠶熟；舍中，歲樂，石三四錢。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星處輿鬼南，有易君；處其北，國易相；處其西，殺老人；一曰殺妊子者。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the mansion of ghosts in the northeast, millet and beans grow well, but rice cannot be harvested; when it enters the southeast, beans and wheat mature, but there will be people dying of thirst; when it enters the southwest, many people will die; when it enters the northwest, millet and sorghum grow well, but wheat cannot be harvested, early silkworms do not spin cocoons, but late silkworms do; when it enters the center, the harvest is abundant and people are happy, and the price of rice is only three or four coins per stone. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the star of years stops in the south of the mansion of ghosts, the ruler will be replaced; when it stops in the north, the prime minister will be replaced; when it stops in the west, the elderly will be killed; another account says that pregnant women will be killed.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯輿鬼，人君必有所戮。”巫咸曰：“歲量守輿鬼，天子賜諸侯金錢。”郗萌曰：“歲星守輿鬼，五穀多傷，民以飢死者無數；又曰多狂病死者。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守輿鬼，角動，有殺主者；色黑，誅死不成。”石氏曰：“歲星犯天尸，國有兵，王者病疾；一曰人君有戮死者。”《海中占》曰：“木守鬼，出其北，旱；出其南，雨、水，五穀熟。”

The Gan school says: When the Jupiter star invades the Ghost mansion, the sovereign must surely kill someone. The Wu Xian school says: When the Jupiter star stays at the Ghost mansion, the Son of Heaven will reward the feudal lords with money. The Xi Meng says: When the Jupiter star stays at the Ghost mansion, the five grains suffer great damage, and countless common people die of starvation; also, many people die from madness. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the Jupiter star stays at the Ghost mansion, if the star's light trembles, someone will assassinate the sovereign; if the star's color turns black, that assassination will not succeed. The Shi school says: When the Jupiter star invades the Tian Shi star, there will be warfare within the country, and the sovereign will fall ill; another interpretation says the sovereign will kill someone. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: When the Jupiter star stays at the Ghost mansion, if it comes from the north, there will be drought; if it comes from the south, there will be much rain, and the five grains will mature. The Tian Shi is the central part of the Ghost mansion, known as the Accumulated Corpse Qi, which presages death and mourning. One must combine the observation of whether the star's light trembles and whether its color turns black to determine whether the assassination will succeed or not.

郗萌曰：“歲星逆行輿鬼，其君不聰明，用財奢浮過度，治衰。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星逆行輿鬼，其君不聰於事。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入輿鬼，財寶出。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入輿鬼，亂臣在內，有屠城。”郗萌曰：“歲星乘質，斧鉞用。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星乘質，君貴人憂，金玉用，人民多疾；從南入，為男；從北入，為女；從西入，為老人；從東入，為丁壯；若棺木倍價。”

Xi Meng said: The year star is in the ghost mansion and moving in reverse, the ruler is not discerning, his expenditures are extravagant and without restraint, and his governance is declining. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star is in the ghost mansion and moving in reverse, the ruler is not sufficiently discerning. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the year star enters the ghost mansion, the treasury and treasures will be dispersed. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the year star enters the ghost mansion, there will be disloyal ministers within the court, and there will be a tragic event of city destruction. Xi Meng said: When the year star overshadows the quality star, that is, the accumulated corpse qi in the ghost mansion, the ruler will actively use the斧钺 (axe and halberd) punishment. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star overshadows the quality star, the ruler and the nobleman will have worries, gold and jade vessels will be used, and the people will be sickly; if it enters from the south, it will affect men; if it enters from the north, it will affect women; if it enters from the west, it will affect the elderly; if it enters from the east, it will affect the young; the price of coffins will double.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“歲星入輿鬼，為死喪。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星干犯守輿鬼者，皆為天下有大喪；陽為後，左為天子；右為貴臣，又隨所守主物；王者發之，不出七十日。”石氏曰：“歲星守輿鬼，為大人有祭祀事。”郗萌曰：“歲星守輿鬼，大人以命終。又曰：歲星守輿鬼西南，皆為秦漢有反臣，以赦解之。”

Simabiao's "Astronomical Records" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Ghost Mansion, it indicates death and mourning. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter approaches and stays in the Ghost Mansion, it signifies great mourning throughout the realm; the position in the Yang direction belongs to the empress, the position on the left belongs to the emperor, and the position on the right belongs to the high minister. It also depends on the star that the planet Jupiter is guarding, as each star governs its own affairs. The emperor should distribute resources accordingly, and this will happen within seventy days. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that the powerful officials will have sacrificial ceremonies. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Ghost Mansion, the powerful officials will die of old age. It also says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the southwest of the Ghost Mansion, it indicates that there will be traitors in the old territories of Qin and Han, and an amnesty decree should be issued to resolve the situation. The positions it occupies are assigned to the empress, the emperor, and the high minister, which is a common practice in the Shi school's system of assigning directions to different rulers.

郗萌曰：“歲星入天庫，以飢起兵；一曰五穀收入。”石氏曰：“歲星入柳，諸侯有慶賀，天下安寧，五穀豐熟，不出其年，民人歌舞而行。”又曰：“歲星處柳東，晚稚不成；處其南，有易君；處其西，殺老人；一曰殺妊子；一曰民族，處其北，貴人徙；一曰國易相。”又曰：“歲星處柳南，地必動；處其西，民疾，歲大水；一曰大人坐。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years enters the celestial storehouse star, it is due to famine that armies rise; another view is that the five grains are collected into granaries. The Shi school said: When the star of years enters the willow mansion, the princes have joyous events to celebrate, the world is at peace, the five grains are abundant, and within this year, the people will travel singing and dancing. They also said: When the star of years stops at the eastern side of the willow mansion, late-maturing crops cannot be harvested; when it stops at the southern side, the ruler will be replaced; when it stops at the western side, the elderly will be killed; another view is that pregnant women will be killed, and another is that the clan will be harmed; when it stops at the northern side, the nobleman will move, another view is that the state will replace its prime minister. They also said: When the star of years stops at the southern side of the willow mansion, an earthquake will certainly occur; when it stops at the western side, the people will fall ill, and this year there will be a great flood; another view is that the powerful will be punished. The willow mansion is the beak of the Vermilion Bird, governing grasses and woods and food and drink, and its corresponding region is the Zhou territory.

甘氏曰：“歲星守柳，貴臣得地，有德令，不出九十日。”石氏曰：“歲星守柳，人飢。”巫咸曰：“歲星守柳，多水災，萬物五穀不成。”郗萌曰：“歲星守柳，多獄；不然，獄空。又曰：守天相，政事急，民有千里之行。”陳卓曰：“歲星逆行柳陰，女主坐之；逆行柳中，其君坐之；若逆行柳陽，男坐之；若逆行柳左右，坐貴親。”

The Gan school says: When the year star stays in the Willow Mansion, a high official will be granted territory, and an edict of benevolence will be issued, not exceeding ninety days. The Shi school says: When the year star stays in the Willow Mansion, people will suffer from hunger. Wu Xian says: When the year star stays in the Willow Mansion, there will be much flooding, and all things and the five grains will not grow. Xi Meng says: When the year star stays in the Willow Mansion, there will be many lawsuits; otherwise, the prison will be empty. It also says: When the year star stays in the Seal star and star of livelihood, government affairs will be harsh, and the people will have to travel a thousand miles. Chen Zhuo says: When the year star moves retrograde in the阴位 (yin position) of the Willow Mansion, the female ruler will be guilty; when it moves retrograde in the正中 (central position) of the Willow Mansion, the ruler will be guilty; if it moves retrograde in the阳位 (yang position) of the Willow Mansion, a man will be guilty; if it moves retrograde on the left or right sides of the Willow Mansion, the noble relatives will be guilty.

郗萌曰：“歲星與柳合，同光，其國將大強。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星與熒惑合柳，歲星色赤，兵起，黃、白，五穀傷；黑為憂；青而角赤，兵起；近期三十日，遠六十日。”郗萌曰：“歲星守柳，有反臣中兵也。”《海中占》曰：“歲星居柳，歲和熟。”又曰：“歲星出入留舍柳，九十日不下，將軍出。”又曰：“歲星行柳，其君不敬祭祀。”

Xi Meng said: The star of years and the willow mansion meet, with the same color, the country will be very prosperous. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years and the red star meet in the willow mansion, if the star of years appears red, war will arise; if it appears yellow or white, the five grains will be damaged; if it appears black, there will be worries; if it appears green but the star has a red glow, war will arise; if it is close, the event will occur within thirty days; if it is far, within sixty days. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in the willow mansion, there is a traitorous minister hidden in the army. The "Sea Divination" says: When the star of years resides in the willow mansion, the harvest will be harmonious and abundant. It also says: When the star of years appears, stays, or enters the willow mansion, and does not leave within ninety days, the general will go to war. It also says: When the star of years passes through the willow mansion, the ruler will be disrespectful towards worship.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入七星，五穀多傷，天下盜賊起。期一年。”陳卓曰：“歲星出入留舍七星，其國有以義致天下。”郗萌曰：“歲星居七星，歲和同。又曰：歲星處七星，民疾；處其西，歲水。”陳卓曰：“歲星犯七星，天子憂兵，功臣受封。”甘氏曰：“歲星守七星，皇天以%王者，其邦獲五福，九十年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Seven Stars, the five grains suffer great damage, and bandits rise all over the country, which will come to pass within a year. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter appears, disappears, stays, or enters the Seven Stars, the country will gain the Mandate of Heaven through righteousness. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter resides in the Seven Stars, the harvest is harmonious. He also says: When Jupiter stops in the Seven Stars, the people fall ill; when it stops to the west of the Seven Stars, there will be flooding that year. Chen Zhuo says: When Jupiter invades the Seven Stars, the emperor will worry about military affairs, and meritorious ministers will be granted titles. Gan Shi says: When Jupiter guards the Seven Stars, heaven bestows blessings upon the emperor—here the original text is missing, and the original book only leaves a symbol—the country receives the five blessings and enjoys a reign of ninety years. The Seven Stars are the Star Mansions, which are the neck of the Vermilion Bird, governing garments and embroidered patterns as well as urgent matters, and their territory corresponds to the Zhou region.

陳卓曰：“歲星與七星同光者，以粟當錢。”巫咸曰：“歲星守七星，旱，多火災，萬物五穀不成，有兵飢。”《海中占》曰：“木犯七星，使者滿道，子弒父，臣弒主。”《荊州占》曰：“曰：“歲星犯七星，王者敬天，宗廟有禮，天下和平。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行七星，其君衣服不法。”

Chen Zhuo said: The planet Jupiter and the seven stars have the same color, and millet can be used in place of money. Wu Xian said: When Jupiter stays near the seven stars, there will be drought, frequent fires, and nothing will grow, both people and grain will be ruined, and there will be wars and famine. The "Sea Divination" said: When Jupiter invades the seven stars, envoys will travel back and forth filling the roads, sons will kill their fathers, and ministers will kill their kings. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Jupiter invades the seven stars, the emperor will honor heaven, the ancestral temples will be properly worshipped, and the world will be peaceful. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter moves backward among the seven stars, the ruler's clothing will not conform to the proper regulations. "Using millet instead of money" means that in the market people directly exchange millet for money, showing that money is scarce while grain is abundant.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星逆行七星，處其南，地伏動；處其西，大人坐之；處其北，貴人徙。”《黃帝占》曰：“木犯七星，逆臣為亂。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行七星，地動。”《黃帝占》曰：“木守七星，為反臣也；一曰夏物不成。”石氏曰：“木守七星，有兵。”郗萌曰：“歲星守七星，反臣中兵也。”甘氏曰：“歲星入七星，有君置太子者。”郗萌曰：“歲星留守七星，天下大憂，憂中央。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter isretrograde in the Seven Stars, if it stops to the south, there will be subtle ground tremors; if it stops to the west, the nobles will be punished; if it stops to the north, the nobleman will migrate. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Jupiter invades the Seven Stars, there will be rebellious ministers causing disorder. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter is逆行 in the Seven Stars, an earthquake occurs. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Jupiter stays in the Seven Stars, there will be rebellious ministers; another interpretation says that summer crops will not grow. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the Seven Stars, there will be warfare. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in the Seven Stars, there will be rebellious ministers hidden within the army. The Gan school says: When Jupiter enters the Seven Stars, the sovereign will appoint a crown prince. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in the Seven Stars, the whole country will be greatly troubled, and the concern will be in the central court. In this passage, the *Yellow Emperor's Divination*, the Shi school, and Xi Meng all associate celestial changes with rebellious ministers, because the Seven Stars belong to the neck of the Vermilion Bird. If the neck is controlled, the head and tail cannot be coordinated, which corresponds to the image of rebellion.

石氏曰：“歲星入張，天子有慶賀之事，天下大樂，谷大豐。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入張，不出一年，天子有慶賀之事，天下大樂。”巫咸曰：“歲星入張星，多火災，萬物五穀不成。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留張舍，三十日不下，有兵；六十日不下，更立侯王。”石氏曰：“歲星守張，民人病疫；一曰其歲民多心腹疾。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Zhang, the Son of Heaven will have joyful events, and the whole world will be greatly happy, with abundant harvests of grain. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Zhang, within a year, the Son of Heaven will have joyful events, and the whole world will be greatly happy. Wu Xian says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mansion of Zhang, there will be many fires, and all things and the five grains will not grow. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter appears, stays, and enters the mansion of Zhang, and does not leave for thirty days, there will be warfare; if it does not leave for sixty days, another prince or king will be established. The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter guards the mansion of Zhang, the common people will suffer from epidemic diseases; another view is that the common people will suffer from diseases of the heart and abdomen. The mansion of Zhang is the crop of the Vermilion Bird, governing the Star of livelihood and feasting, as well as treasures and utensils, and its territory corresponds to the Zhou region.

郗萌曰：“歲星民張，歲和熟。”甘氏曰：“歲星守張，其國大豐，守之一年；七年昇平，君臣同心。”又曰：“歲星處張南，地必動，若六畜貴；處張西，其歲水。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守張，四十日至百二十日，陰陽和，群臣忠良，王者吉。”郗萌曰：“歲星守張，政事急，民有千里之行；一曰貴人死。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years resides in Zhang Xu (the original text has a possible error with the character 'min'), the harvest is harmonious and abundant. The Gan school said: When the star of years stays in Zhang Xu, the country will have a great harvest; if it remains for a whole year, there will be seven years of peace, with the king and ministers united in heart. It also said: When the star of years stops on the southern side of Zhang Xu, an earthquake will certainly occur, or the price of livestock will become expensive; when it stops on the western side of Zhang Xu, there will be flooding in that year. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the star of years stays in Zhang Xu, from forty days to one hundred and twenty days, yin and yang are in harmony, the ministers are loyal and virtuous, and the emperor is auspicious. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in Zhang Xu, the government affairs are harsh and urgent, and the people will have to travel a thousand miles; another view is that a nobleman will die.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星逆行張，其君衣服不法。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行張，其君用樂淫佚。”又曰：“歲星守張，有反臣中兵也。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星與墳星合於張，歲不和，貴人多內喪；一曰大水，六年。”郗萌曰：“歲星與墳星合於張，天下有變，不傷為政者，則害於民；一曰民憂盜賊，若功臣受封。”又曰：“後且大旱。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星與墳合守張，天下易令，民流千里。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter is in the mansion of Zhang and moves retrograde, the ruler's attire is not in accordance with propriety. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter is in the mansion of Zhang and moves retrograde, the ruler indulges in music and revelry, and is extravagant in pleasures. It also says: When Jupiter is stationed in the mansion of Zhang, there is a traitorous minister hidden within the army. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Jupiter and the star of tombs meet in the mansion of Zhang, the harvest is poor, and noblemen suffer losses within their households; another interpretation is that there will be a great flood, causing trouble for six years. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter and the star of tombs meet in the mansion of Zhang, there will be disturbances throughout the country; if it does not affect the officials, it will harm the common people; another interpretation is that the people will be troubled by bandits, or meritorious ministers will be granted titles. It also says: There will be a great drought afterwards. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Jupiter and the star of tombs meet and are stationed in the mansion of Zhang, the country will change its policies, and the people will flee for a thousand li. The star of tombs often conflicts with the mansion of Zhang, and the divination texts always mention losses within households, great floods, and mass migrations, indicating that this star is primarily associated with funeral matters.

石氏曰：“歲星入翼，五穀風傷。期一年。”郗萌曰：“歲星出入留舍翼，六十日不下，地亡六十里。”石氏曰：“歲星出入留舍翼，且有急事徵召。”郗萌曰：“歲星居翼，歲和熟。”石氏曰：“歲星守翼，有兵若大水；一曰川枯不通。”甘氏曰：“歲星守翼，聖臣代主。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守民辦，王道大興，王者得天心，將相忠良，不出九十日，文術大用。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years enters the Wings mansion, the five grains are damaged by wind, and this will occur within a year. Xi Meng says: When the star of years appears, stays, and enters the Wings mansion, it does not leave for sixty days, and the territory will lose sixty li. The Shi school says: When the star of years appears, stays, and enters the Wings mansion, there will be urgent military summons. Xi Meng says: When the star of years resides in the Wings mansion, the harvest will be harmonious and abundant. The Shi school says: When the star of years guards the Wings mansion, there will be warfare or great floods; another interpretation says that the rivers will dry up and become impassable. The Gan school says: When the star of years guards the Wings mansion, a virtuous minister will replace the ruler. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years guards the Wings mansion (the original text says 'guards the people's affairs,' with some characters missing or corrupted), the way of the king will greatly flourish, the emperor will gain the mandate of heaven, the ministers and generals will be loyal and virtuous, and within ninety days, the arts of governance will be greatly valued. The Wings mansion is the wing of the Vermilion Bird, governing music officials, performers, and foreign guests, and its corresponding region is Jingchu.

郗萌曰：“歲星守翼南，六畜貴。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守翼，處其東，魚監瓦器貴；處其南，車貴；處其西，不占；處其北，五穀不成。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行翼，其君用樂淫泆，若失火。”甘氏曰：“歲星入翼，有海客。”郗萌曰：“歲星入翼，四海有急，國憂。”石氏曰：“歲星守翼，萬物不成。”石氏曰：“歲星守翼，人民流亡。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stays in the southern side of the Wings mansion, and the prices of livestock become high. The "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter stays in the Wings mansion and is located on its eastern side, the prices of fish, salt, and pottery vessels become high; when it is on the southern side, the prices of vehicles become high; when it is on the western side, no divination is made; when it is on the northern side, the five grains will not grow. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter enters the Wings mansion and moves retrograde, the ruler indulges in music and indulgence, or there will be a fire. The Gan school said: When Jupiter enters the Wings mansion, there will be a guest coming from across the sea. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter enters the Wings mansion, there will be urgent difficulties throughout the four seas, and the country will face calamities. The Shi school said: When Jupiter stays in the Wings mansion, all things will not grow. The Shi school also said: When Jupiter stays in the Wings mansion, the people will flee and lose their homes.

郗萌曰：“歲星入軫，天下多喪。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入軫，邦有將死。期六年。”陳卓曰：“歲星入軫兵，大起。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星在軫，王者憂疾，不出九十日。”巫咸曰：“歲星入軫中，伺其出而數之，期二十日為兵發；伺始入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”郗萌曰：“歲星舍軫，七日不移，赦。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter enters the Chariot mansion, and there will be many funerals throughout the country. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Chariot mansion, there will be the death of a great general, and this will occur within six years. Chen Zhuo said: When the planet Jupiter enters the Chariot mansion, there will be great military conflicts. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter is in the Chariot mansion, the emperor will be troubled by illness, and this will happen within ninety days. Wu Xian said: When the planet Jupiter enters the Chariot mansion, calculate the time from when it leaves, and the military conflict will occur within twenty days; alternatively, according to its original position of entry, another calculation suggests the military conflict will occur within ten days, and the army will disband. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter enters the Chariot mansion and remains there for seven days without moving, there will be an amnesty. The Chariot mansion governs chariots and wind, and also governs death and mourning. Its corresponding region is Jingchu.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星處軫東，耀貴；處軫西，有女喪，有水。”《海中占》曰：“歲星犯守軫，天子養孤老、不平，大臣背叛，師旅起，車騎盡發。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星干犯過軫，大臣戮死。”甘氏曰：“歲星守胃，國主疾，王者修宗廟，赦三百里內，則災消。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stops in the eastern side of the Chariot mansion, there will be brilliance and prominence; when it stops in the western side, there will be the death of a woman and water disasters. The Divination of the Sea says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays in the Chariot mansion, the emperor's policy of supporting the elderly will be uneven, ministers will rebel, military campaigns will start, and all chariots and cavalry will be mobilized. The Divination of Jingzhou says: When the planet Jupiter transgresses and passes through the Chariot mansion, ministers will be killed. The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter stays in the Chariot mansion (the original text mistakenly says 'stays in the stomach mansion'), the king will be ill, the emperor will renovate the ancestral temples, and will pardon criminals within a radius of three hundred li from the capital, and the calamity will be resolved.

巫咸曰：“歲星守軫，民多疾病。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守軫，主庫者有罪。”郗萌曰：“歲星守軫，有土功事，若旱；萬物不成，民飢。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守軫南，六畜皆貴。”郗萌曰：“歲星守軫背，五穀不成。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星逆行軫，失火。”郗萌曰：“歲星逆行軫，其君持喪服，不謹；若貴親生之。”又曰：“木守軫，川楫不通也。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Jupiter stays in the Chariot mansion, and the people will suffer many diseases. The "Sea Divination" says: When Jupiter stays in the Chariot mansion, those in charge of the treasury will be guilty of a crime. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter stays in the Chariot mansion, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood, or there will be drought; all things will not grow properly, and the people will suffer from famine. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When Jupiter is stationed to the south of the Chariot mansion, the prices of livestock will rise. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter is stationed behind the Chariot mansion, the five grains will not grow properly. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter moves backward in the Chariot mansion, there will be fires. Xi Meng said: When Jupiter moves backward in the Chariot mansion, the ruler will wear mourning clothes but be disrespectful; or a noble relative will have a mistake. It also says: When Jupiter stays in the Chariot mansion, the rivers and canals will be blocked, and the boats will not be able to sail. There is a star called Changsha near the Chariot mansion, and two stars called Zuo Xia and You Xia, which are both related to carriages. Therefore, the conditions of carriages, roads, and boats are all attributed to this mansion.

《海中占》曰：“歲星犯攝提，臣謀其君，若主出走，有兵起。期一年。”

The Sea Divination says: When the star of years invades the position of the Captor, ministers will plot against their sovereign, or the sovereign will flee, and wars will arise, with the event occurring within a year. The Captor consists of six stars, arranged on either side of the Big Horn, governing the establishment of seasons and the correction of the calendar, and being the place where the Son of Heaven issues commands. Therefore, when the star of years invades it, it indicates mutual plotting between sovereign and ministers.

《海中占》曰：“歲星守大角，臣謀主者，有兵起，人主憂，王者戒慎左右，期不出百八十日，遠一年。”

The Sea Divination says: When the year star guards the Big Horn, there will be ministers plotting against the sovereign, and wars will arise, causing the sovereign to worry. The sovereign should be especially cautious and vigilant towards those around him, and the time for this to happen will not exceed one hundred and eighty days, or perhaps as long as a year. The Big Horn is the throne of the heavenly sovereign, located between the two groups of the Taiyi stars, and symbolizes the court of the sovereign. Therefore, when the year star guards it, there will be suspicion and distrust among the people above and below.

巫咸曰：“歲星守梗河，國有謀兵，四夷兵起，來侵中國，邊境有憂。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Jupiter is stationed at Geng He, indicating military planning within the country. The four surrounding barbarian tribes will raise armies to invade the Central Plains, causing worries at the borders. The three stars of Geng He are located north of Da Jiao, representing the armies of the Hu people. They also symbolize weapons such as the spear and halberd of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, this star specifically corresponds to military alarms at the borders.

《聖洽符》曰：“歲星犯招搖，邊兵大起，敵人為寇；若守之，敵人敗，敵人死：期不出二年。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入招搖，兵起，馬多死。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the year star invades Zhao Yao, there will be large-scale military campaigns on the borders, and enemies will come to plunder. If the year star remains in its position, the enemy will instead suffer defeat, and the enemy commander will die, and this prediction will come true within two years. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: When the year star enters Zhao Yao, warfare will arise, and many horses will die. The star Zhao Yao is located to the north of Genghe, and it indicates the movements of the Hu people's armies and the four surrounding barbarian tribes.

《聖洽符》曰：“歲星守犯玄戈，邊兵大起，突厥為寇；若守之，突厥敗，若其主死，期不出三年。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the star of the year stays and invades Xuan Ge, there will be large-scale military campaigns on the borders, and the Turkic people will come to plunder; if the star of the year stays there, the Turkic people will instead suffer defeat, or their ruler will die, and this will happen within three years. The star Xuan Ge is located to the north of Zhayaohao, and it also indicates military affairs in the north. This passage directly mentions the Turkic people, showing that it is a divination text added by Tang people according to the border situations of their time.

巫咸曰：“歲星犯天槍，邊夷兵起，機槍大用，防戍有憂；若誅邊臣，期不出年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Jupiter invades the Heavenly Spear, and the border regions will see the rise of barbarian armies, with a large use of weapons such as crossbows and long spears. Soldiers defending the borders will face troubles. Alternatively, the court may execute border generals, and this will happen within a year. The Three Stars of the Heavenly Spear are located at the northern end of the handle of the Big Dipper, representing heavenly weapons.

巫咸曰：“歲星守天棓，邊夷兵起，機槍大用，防戌有憂；若誅邊臣，期不出年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Jupiter is stationed at Tianbang, indicating that the border regions will see the rise of barbarian tribes who will mobilize large numbers of weapons such as crossbows and long spears, causing anxiety among the soldiers defending the borders; or the court may execute border generals, and this event will occur within a year. The five stars of Tianbang are located north of Nuocuang, and they are also the vanguard weapons of the Son of Heaven. The divination text for this is the same as the previous one about Tianqiang, showing that these two groups of stars both govern matters related to border troops.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯女床，凶。”甘氏曰：“歲星守女床，兵起，宮中若妃后暴誅者，期百八十日，遠一年。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: When the planet Jupiter invades the Female Bed, it indicates calamity. The Gan school says: When Jupiter resides at the Female Bed, military conflicts will arise, and there may be sudden executions of concubines or empresses within the palace. The predicted time is one hundred and eighty days, or as long as a year. The three stars of the Female Bed are located to the northeast of the Record Star, governing the positions of palace concubines. Therefore, the divination of this star specifically relates to changes within the imperial harem.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守七公，為民飢，君不安。”石氏曰：“歲星犯守七公，輔臣有謀，議臣相疑，若有誅者，主人有憂。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter stays at the Seven Officials, the people suffer from hunger and the ruler cannot rest in peace. The Shi school says: When Jupiter invades and stays at the Seven Officials, the chief ministers who assist the ruler harbor schemes, and the advisors are suspicious of each other, or someone may be executed, causing the ruler to worry. The Seven Officials, which are seven stars located east of Zhao Yao, symbolize the three ministers of the Son of Heaven. They are in charge of deliberating on matters of gain and loss. Therefore, when Jupiter affects them, the consequences manifest among the ministers who assist the ruler.

巫咸曰：“歲星犯守貫索，天下亂，兵大起，有獄事，貴人有死者。”石氏曰：“歲星入天平中犯乘守者，以獄為亂，多不平。”

Wu Xian said: The year star invades and occupies the Heavenly Prison, there will be great chaos throughout the world, large-scale military campaigns, and cases of litigation. Among the noblemen, there will be deaths. The Shi school said: The year star enters the Balance and invades, dominates, and occupies it, causing calamity and disorder due to litigation. Judgments will be often unjust. The Heavenly Prison consists of nine stars, also called the Linked Rope and Heavenly Prison, which indicate the arrest and detention of criminals; the Balance is a symbol of measuring right and wrong. Therefore, these two divination statements both pertain to criminal justice.

《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星犯守天紀，倖臣執權，有兵起，王者有憂。”

The Wenyao Gou says: When the star of years invades and occupies Tianji, favored ministers seize power, leading to warfare and causing the emperor to worry. The nine stars of Tianji are located east of Guansuo, governing the establishment of order for all things and distinguishing right from wrong. If these stars change, it indicates disorder in the system and the power shifting into the hands of favored individuals.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守織女，天下有女憂，有兵起，不出其年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the Weaving Lady, there will be troubles related to women throughout the land, and wars will arise. This will come to pass within the year. The term 'Heavenly Weaver' referred to in the title is the Weaving Lady. The three stars of the Weaving Lady are located at the eastern end of the Heavenly Record, symbolizing a heavenly woman. They preside over fruits, silk, and treasures, so when they are disturbed, the effects are mostly related to women's affairs.

郗萌曰：“歲星入天市中，五官有憂；一日赦。”巫咸日：“歲星入天市，諸侯有戮者，將相凶，期百八十日，若一年。”郗萌曰：“歲星入天市，諸侯有戮者；一日弊易。”《海中占》曰：“歲星入天市，五官有憂，若市驚；一日易市。”石氏曰：“歲星守天市，諸侯相謀，若國有兵憂。”郗萌曰：“歲星守天市，五穀大貴。”

Xi Meng said: The year star entering the Heavenly Market indicates that the officials of the five ministries will have worries; another interpretation is that there will be an amnesty. Wu Xian said: The year star entering the Heavenly Market indicates that among the feudal princes there will be those who are killed, ministers will face misfortune, and this will occur within a period of one hundred and eighty days or one year. Xi Meng said: The year star entering the Heavenly Market indicates that among the feudal princes there will be those who are killed; another interpretation is that currency will depreciate and market transactions will change. The "Sea Divination" says: The year star entering the Heavenly Market indicates that the officials of the five ministries will have worries, or that the market will be in disorder; another interpretation is that the market will be changed. The Shi school said: The year star staying in the Heavenly Market indicates that the feudal princes will plot against each other, or that there will be military troubles within a country. Xi Meng said: The year star staying in the Heavenly Market indicates that the prices of grain and miscellaneous goods will rise sharply. The Heavenly Market enclosure consists of twenty-two stars, which govern the standards of measurement and the affairs of gathering and trading, so the divination texts often mention market transactions and the feudal princes.

石氏曰：“歲星犯帝座．，為臣謀主，有逆亂事。”《玄冥》曰：“歲星犯帝座，為臣謀主，天下亂，兵大起，不出年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter invades the position of the Emperor's Seat, it indicates that ministers will plot against the sovereign, and there will be rebellion and disorder. The "Xuanming" says: When the planet Jupiter invades the position of the Emperor's Seat, ministers plot against the sovereign, the whole country will be in great chaos, and a large-scale military campaign will be launched. This will come to pass within a year. The star of the Emperor's Seat is located at the center of the Tianshi Enclosure, representing the throne of the sovereign. Therefore, whenever the five planets invade this position, the divination texts directly refer to the relationship between sovereign and ministers.

《海中占》曰：“歲星犯守候星，陰陽不和，五穀傷，人大飢，有兵起。”

The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the planet of years invades and occupies the waiting star, yin and yang energies become unbalanced, crops are damaged, people suffer from great famine, and wars will arise. The waiting star is one, located in the northeast of the imperial seat, which oversees the regulation of yin and yang and observes the climate. Therefore, when it is attacked, the first signs will be the disorder of cold and heat seasons and poor harvests.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯宦者，左右輔臣誅，若戮死，期不出年。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Jupiter invades the position of the eunuchs, the ministers who assist the ruler will be executed or killed, and this will occur within a year. The four stars of the eunuchs are located in the southwest of the throne, representing officials who serve close to the ruler. Therefore, the fulfillment of this prediction will be seen among the near attendants.

石氏日：“歲星犯守宗正，左右群臣多死，若更政令，人主有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the year invades and stays at the position of the Grand Master of the Clan, many ministers close to the king will die, or there will be changes in the government orders, causing the king to worry. The two stars of the Grand Master are located to the southeast of the throne, symbolizing the officials of the royal family, who are in charge of the affairs of the imperial clan.

石氏日產歲星犯守宗人，親族貴人有憂，若有死者；一日人主親宗有離絕者。”

The Shi school says: When the star of the year invades and stays at the position of the clan, there will be worries or deaths among the imperial relatives or high-ranking officials; another interpretation is that there is a branch of the royal family that has become estranged or separated. The four stars of the clan are located east of the chief of the clan, governing the recording of kinship relations, proximity and distance, and the order of generations. The character '产' in the original text 'Shi school's daily' is a corruption of the character '曰', which is used to introduce a statement.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯守宗星，宗室之臣，有分離者。”

The Gan school says: When the star of years invades and stays at the position of the ancestral star, among the ministers of the royal family, there will be separation and division. The two stars of the ancestral star are located east of the waiting star, which governs matters concerning the ancestral temple sacrifices, and is of the same category as the officials in charge of the royal family, such as the Minister of the Imperial Clan and the Master of the Imperial Clan. Therefore, the three divination verses all revolve around the gathering and dispersing of the royal family.

石氏曰：“歲星犯守東西咸，為有臣不從令、有陰謀。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter invades and stays at Dong Xian and Xi Xian, it indicates that ministers and subjects will not obey the orders, and will secretly plot. Dong Xian and Xi Xian each consist of four stars, located north and south of the Room Mansion, symbolizing the gates for preventing licentiousness. Therefore, when these stars change, it often indicates secret communications within and outside the court, and secret plots among the ministers.

巫咸曰：“歲星犯守天江，下有水；若入之，大水齊城郭，人民飢亡，左其鄉。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Jupiter invades and stays in Tianjiang, causing water disasters on earth; if it enters Tianjiang, great floods will rise to the level of city walls, people will die from famine and have to leave their hometowns. The original text says "left its hometown" where "left" is a miswriting of a character meaning "to go away," meaning to leave. Tianjiang consists of four stars located north of the Tail mansion, which govern the Wealth star and Mother star, as well as water. Therefore, this star specifically corresponds to water disasters.

陳卓曰：“歲星入建星，臣相譖。”石氏曰：“歲星入建星，諸侯有謀入關者，期六十日，若百五十日。”《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星守建星，關梁不通，天下大飢，人相食，期二年。”石氏曰：“歲星守建星，糴貴，人相食。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守建星，旱，死者甚眾，民大耗。”郗萌曰：“歲星守建星，天下多暴貴；一曰牛貴。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the star of years enters the star of Jian, ministers will slander and falsely accuse each other. The Shi school said: When the star of years enters the star of Jian, there will be a plot among the feudal lords to enter the pass, the time of occurrence is either sixty days or one hundred and fifty days. The Wen Yao Gou said: When the star of years stays at the star of Jian, the passes and bridges will be blocked, the whole country will suffer a great famine, leading to people eating people, the time of occurrence is two years. The Shi school said: When the star of years stays at the star of Jian, the price of grain will rise, people will eat people. The Hai Zhong Zhan said: When the star of years stays at the star of Jian, there will be a drought, a great number of people will die, and the people's strength will be greatly exhausted. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays at the star of Jian, the prices of goods throughout the country will rise sharply; another view is that the price of cattle will rise. The six stars of Jian are located to the north of the southern dipper, which is the imperial pass, governing the passage and entry and exit of the country, so the divination texts often mention the passes and the price of grain.

郗萌曰：“歲星守建星，天下之人，有相食者以百數；一歲不發；三年乃發，三年不發，六年乃發；六年不發，九年乃發；郡國有坐之。”又占曰：“歲星守建星，為臣謀其主。”又占曰：“歲星守建星，地氣洩，貴人多死。”又占曰：“歲星守建星，歲水，民飢，有自賣者。”

Xi Meng said: When the star of years is stationed at the star of establishment, there will be hundreds of people dying of starvation throughout the land; if it does not occur within a year, it will happen within three years; if it does not occur within three years, it will happen within six years; if it does not occur within six years, it will finally happen within nine years, and there will always be people in the commanderies and states who will be punished for this. Another divination says: When the star of years is stationed at the star of establishment, the ministers will plot against their sovereign. Another divination says: When the star of years is stationed at the star of establishment, the earth's energy will leak out, and many noblemen will die. Another divination says: When the star of years is stationed at the star of establishment, there will be flooding in that year, the people will suffer from famine, and some people will sell themselves to survive.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯天弁，若守之，則囚徒兵起；一日不穀不成，糴大貴，人民飢。”

The Gan school says: When the star of the year invades or stays at Tian Bian, prisoners in jail will rebel and rise up; another interpretation says that crops will not grow, rice prices will surge, and people will suffer from hunger. Tian Bian has nine stars located north of Jian Star, representing officials who govern market transactions. Therefore, when it is disturbed, it relates to grain prices and harvests.

《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星犯河鼓大將，若左右將有誅者，若守之，將有罪；以五色占之。”石氏曰：“歲星入守河鼓，諸侯之將出，大兵起，旗鼓用，人主憂，期一年。”

The *Qi Bei Wu Xing Zhan* says: When the planet Jupiter invades the central star of He Gu, or the left and right stars of He Gu, there will be executions; if Jupiter stays in place, the generals will be punished; the specific outcome should be determined by the five colors of Jupiter—green, red, yellow, white, and black. The Shi school says: When Jupiter enters and stays in He Gu, the generals of the feudal lords will mobilize, launch a large-scale military campaign, with banners and drums sounding together, and the ruler will be anxious, with the event occurring within a year. The three stars of He Gu are located north of Niou, and they preside over military drums and military campaigns.

石氏曰：“歲星犯離珠，宮中有事，若有亂宮者；若宮中人有罪黜者。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of years invades the star Li Zhu, there will be incidents within the palace, or someone will disrupt the palace regulations; or someone within the palace will be punished and demoted. The star Li Zhu, among the five stars, is located to the north of Xunü, symbolizing the pearls and jade worn by the palace concubines. Therefore, this star specifically relates to affairs within the palace.

《聖洽符》曰：“歲星守犯匏瓜，天下有憂，若有遊兵，各果責；一曰魚鹽貴，價十倍，不出其年。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the star of years stays and invades Paojia, there will be calamities throughout the land, or there may be wandering soldiers everywhere, and punishments will be imposed in all regions; another interpretation says that the prices of fish and salt will become ten times their usual rate, and this will come to pass within the year. Paojia, consisting of five stars, is located to the north of Li Zhu, and it governs the fruits and vegetables used in the imperial palace, hence the divination text relates to the price fluctuations of fish, salt, and other produce.

《海中占》曰：“歲星犯天津關，道絕不通，有兵起；若關吏有憂。”郗萌曰：“歲星守天津者，皆革也。”

The Sea Divination says: When the year star invades Tianjin, the customs and border posts will be cut off and communication will be interrupted, leading to warfare; or the officials in charge of the border posts will suffer misfortune. Xi Meng says: When the year star resides at Tianjin, it generally indicates a change. Tianjin consists of nine stars spanning the Milky Way, symbolizing a bridge for crossing water, hence its change will manifest in the blockage or unblockage of roads and border posts.

甘氏曰：“歲星守螣蛇，天子前驅凶；若奸臣有誅，前驅為害。”

The Gan school says: When the star of the year is stationed at the Vermilion Snake, the vanguard of the emperor will encounter misfortune; or a wicked minister will be executed, but the one who leads ahead will become the source of calamity. The Vermilion Snake consists of twenty-two stars located to the north of the Encampment Room, symbolizing water creatures and indicating matters related to water and supernatural phenomena.

石氏曰：“歲星守王良，為有兵。”《齊伯五星占》曰：“歲星犯守王良，天下有兵，諸侯放強臣謀主，期不出年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at Wangliang, there will be warfare. The "Five Stars Divination of Qi Bo" states: When Jupiter invades and stays at Wangliang, there will be warfare throughout the land, the feudal lords will act recklessly and unlawfully, and powerful ministers will plot against the sovereign. The fulfillment of this omen will not be more than a year. Wangliang, the star of the five planets, is located to the north of the mansion of Kui. Wangliang was originally a skilled charioteer from ancient times, and this star governs the sovereign's chariots and cavalry. Therefore, when it is violated, the omen is most likely related to military chariots and warfare.

石氏曰：“歲星犯閣道絕漢者，為九州異政，各主其王，天下有兵，期二年。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades the Gedorao and cuts across the Milky Way, it indicates that the government orders of the nine provinces will each be carried out independently, with each region revering its own king, and there will be warfare across the land, corresponding to a period of two years. The six stars of Gedorao are near Wangliang, representing the elevated path for the Son of Heaven's carriage to enter and exit the Purple Palace. If this path is violated, it signifies obstruction in communication between above and below, and multiple sources of authority.

石氏曰：“歲星守附路，大僕乃罪，若有誅；一曰馬多死，道無乘馬者。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of the year stays near the star of the auxiliary road, the Grand Stables official will be punished, perhaps even executed; another interpretation is that many horses will die, and there will be no riders on the road. The star of the auxiliary road is located beside the path of the elevated corridor, serving as its secondary path, and is related to matters concerning carriages and horses, so the omen will manifest upon the Grand Stables official who oversees vehicles and horses.

郗萌曰：“歲星入天將軍者，吉。”石氏曰：“歲星守犯天將軍，為大將死，若誅。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter entering the Heavenly General indicates good fortune. The Shi school said: When Jupiter stays in and invades the Heavenly General, it signifies the death of the general or his execution. The eleven stars of the Heavenly General are located to the north of the Bond mansion, and the central bright star is the general, while the others are the deputy generals and soldiers. Therefore, this celestial phenomenon indicates a change in the military camp, directly corresponding to the commander.

石氏曰：“歲星入大陵，國有大喪，大臣有誅，若戮死：人民死者大半，皆不出其年。”《荊州占》曰；“歲星乘大陵，天下盡喪，死人如嶽。”

The Shi school says: When the year star enters Daling, there will be great mourning in the country, ministers will be executed, or people will be killed; half the people will die, and these events will be fulfilled within the year. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the year star approaches Daling, there will be mourning everywhere in the world, and the dead will pile up like mountains. Daling's eight stars are located to the north of the Stomach mansion, symbolizing tombs and accumulated corpses. Among them, there is another star called Accumulated Corpse, so this place specifically indicates death and mourning.

郗萌曰：“歲星守天船，皆革也。”《聖洽符》曰：“歲星入守天船，兵大起，舟船用，有亡國，期不出年。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter stays in the constellation Tian Chuan, indicating a general change. The "Sheng Qia Fu" says: When Jupiter enters and stays in Tian Chuan, there will be a large military campaign, ships will be used, and there will be the fall of a state, and this will happen within a year. The constellation Tian Chuan consists of nine stars, located north of Da Ling and in the middle of the Milky Way, governing matters related to crossing water and ships. Therefore, any change will manifest in naval warfare and grain transport.

石氏曰：“歲星乘捲舌，天下多喪。”又占曰：“歲星入守捲舌，有佞臣謀其君，以口舌為害，人主有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the year star invades and occupies the position of the rolling tongue, there will be many cases of loss throughout the country. Another divination statement says: When the year star enters and stays in the position of the rolling tongue, there are cunning ministers plotting against their sovereign, causing calamity through words, making the sovereign anxious. The six stars of the rolling tongue are located north of the mansion of Hairy Head, which governs verbal disputes and slander. Therefore, the divination statement specifically relates to cunning small people.

石氏曰：“歲星犯五車，大早，若有喪；一曰犯庫星，兵起北方，若西方，犯倉星，穀貴，若有水。”《海中占》曰：“歲星入五車，兵大起，車騎行，五穀不成，天下民飢：若軍絕糧。”郗萌曰：“歲星入五車，向其傍，糴石三百；當其門，糴石五百；入其中，糴千錢。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter invades the Five Carriages, there will be a great drought, or there will be mourning events; another view says that if it invades the granary star among the Five Carriages, there will be military movements in the north, or in the west; if it invades the granary star, grain prices will rise, or there will be floods. The "Sea of Divination" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Five Carriages, there will be a large-scale military campaign, chariots and cavalry will be mobilized, the five grains will not mature, and the people throughout the land will suffer from famine; or there will be a disruption of military supplies. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Five Carriages and approaches it closely, the price of rice will reach three hundred coins per stone; when it is right at its gate, the price will reach five hundred coins per stone; when it enters the center, the price will reach one thousand coins per stone. The five stars of the Five Carriages are located in the Net mansion to the northeast, indicating the emperor's chariots. Among them, the granary and storehouse stars indicate grain and military supplies.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入五車庫，天下兵起：一曰若有水。”《孝經右秘》曰：“歲星入五車，王義絕，亂帝家。”石氏曰：“歲星中犯乘五車，若入天庫，以飢起兵。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入五車中，犯乘守天庫星，水飢兵起。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the year star enters the warehouse star among the Five Carriages, there will be military campaigns throughout the land; another interpretation says there will be water disasters. The Xiao Jing You Mi says: When the year star enters the Five Carriages, the emperor will lose righteousness and disrupt the royal court. The Shi school says: When the year star invades and occupies the Five Carriages from the center, or enters the heavenly warehouse star, there will be military actions due to famine. Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the year star enters the Five Carriages and invades, occupies, and holds the heavenly warehouse star, floods, famine, and warfare will all occur together.

石氏曰：“歲星守天闋，臣謀主，若大臣有不道者；有兵起，期二年。”郗萌曰：“星守天闋，為貴人多死。”《海中占》曰：“歲星守犯天闋，道絕，天下相疑，有闋梁之令。”

The Shi school said: When the star of years stays in the celestial gate, ministers will plot against the sovereign, or there will be ministers who act against righteousness; warfare will arise, and the time will be two years. Xi Meng said: When the star of years stays in the celestial gate, many noblemen will die. The "Sea Divination" said: When the star of years stays and invades the celestial gate, roads will be cut off, and the whole world will be suspicious of each other; there will be edicts to close the passes and borders. The celestial gate is the celestial gate, located between the Net mansion and the Well mansion, and it is the gateway through which the sun, moon, and five stars pass. It governs the opening and closing of the passes and borders.

（案《宋書，天文志》曰：晉康帝建元元年，歲星犯天闋，安西將軍庾翼與兄水書曰：歲星犯天闋，占雲；闋梁當混塞，比來江東無他，故江道亦不艱，而石唐頻年閉關，夫關閉不通信使，此復是天公憒憒，無皂白之徵。）石氏曰：“歲星守天闋，歲水，民飢，有自賣者。”郗萌曰：“歲星行不從天闋，不出其年，有兵。”

The original book's marginal notes cite the "Book of Song, Annals of Astronomy" which says: In the first year of Jianyuan of Emperor Kang of the Jin dynasty, the planet Jupiter invaded the celestial gate. General Yu Yi wrote a letter to his elder brother Yu Bing (the original text says "elder brother Shui," where "Shui" is a corrupted form of "Bing") saying: When Jupiter invades the celestial gate, the divination text says that roads and passes should be blocked; recently, there have been no other disturbances in the Eastern Jiang region, so the Yangtze River waterway is not dangerous. Instead, the Shi dynasty in the north (the original text says "Shi Tang," with a corrupted character) has been closing its borders for several years. The borders are completely sealed, and even messengers cannot pass through. This is considered heaven's confusion, as the omen cannot distinguish between good and bad. The Shi dynasty said: When Jupiter stays at the celestial gate, there will be flooding in that year, leading to famine, with people selling themselves to survive. Xi Meng said: Jupiter's movement does not follow the usual path of the celestial gate; within this year, there will be warfare.

石氏曰：“歲星行南河戍中，為四方兵起，百姓疾病。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星乘南河戍，若出南河南，為中。”石氏曰；“歲星守南河，蠻夷兵起，邊戍有憂；若有旱災，人民飢。”郗萌曰：“歲星守天高，天下赦。歲星逆行天高，其君齋戒不謹。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Jupiter passes through the middle of the southern river and the constellation Wu, it indicates military actions in all directions and illness among the people. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Jupiter invades or occupies the southern river and the constellation Wu, or emerges from the south of the southern river, the verification will fall in the Central Plains. The Shi school says: When Jupiter stays in the southern river, the barbarians will raise armies, and the border soldiers will suffer misfortunes; or there will be drought and the people will suffer from hunger. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter stays in the star Tian Gao, the whole country will be pardoned; when Jupiter moves retrograde in the star Tian Gao, the ruler will not be sufficiently respectful in his fasting. The southern river and the northern river each have three stars, arranged north and south of the eastern well mansion, serving as the heavenly gate, governing defense of the borders.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星若留止守南河戍，為百姓疾病；一曰為旱。歲星行南河戍中，若留止南河戍，皆為喪。歲星出北河，若乘北河戍，為女喪。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星乘北河戍，若出北河戍北，外國王死。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: If the star of years stays at the southern river戍, it indicates that the people will fall ill; another interpretation says it indicates drought. If the star of years passes through the middle of the southern river戍 or stays there, it indicates mourning. If the star of years comes out from the northern river or overshadows the northern river戍, it indicates the death of a woman. The Huangdi Zhan also says: If the star of years overshadows the northern river戍 or comes out from the northern side of the northern river戍, the king of a foreign state will die. The southern and northern rivers are located to the south and north respectively, enclosing the eastern well mansion. Therefore, although it is the same star of years, depending on the direction it enters or exits, the outcome is different, and it is associated with the people, women, and the king of a foreign state.

《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守北河，朔方兵動：若守之三十日不下，北兵敗：若北主死，天下大水，人民飢，期不出二年。”巫咸曰；“歲星守北河，大臣有憂，若邊臣有罪，若有戮死者。”郗萌曰：“歲星經南河之南，刑法復暴，誅伐不當：經北戍之北，以女子、金錢、貪色、奢侈、失治道；近期三年，中期六年，遠期九年，而災至。”

The book Xuanming Zhan says: When the planet Jupiter stays over the Northern River, there will be military movements in the northern region. If it remains for thirty days without departing, the northern army will suffer defeat; or the ruler of the north will die, and there will be great floods, famine among the people, and these calamities will occur within two years. Wu Xian says: When the planet Jupiter stays over the Northern River, there will be worries among the ministers, or the border generals will be guilty of crimes, or there will be executions. Xi Meng says: When the planet Jupiter passes through south of the Southern River, the punishments will become more severe, and there will be unjust killings and wars. When it passes through north of the Northern River, the state will lose its way of governance due to lust, money, greed, and extravagance. The calamities will arrive within three years, or six years, or nine years.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星出北河戍間，若留守北，若居南戍間，若守兩間，為天下有難，起道不通。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守兩河間，天下乖離，道路不通。”郗萌曰：“歲星有不行入天闋間，為喪。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Jupiter emerges from between the northern river and the戌, or stays and guards the northern side, or resides between the southern戌, or guards the middle between the northern and southern rivers, it indicates that the world will face difficulties and roads will be blocked and unpassable. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Jupiter stays between the northern and southern rivers, the world will experience discord and dispersion, and roads will be cut off. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter does not follow its usual path but enters the heavenly gate area, it presages mourning and loss.

石氏曰：“歲星犯五諸侯，若守之，兵大將，將七出，諸侯有憂，若有死者，”巫咸日：“歲星入五諸侯，伺其出日而數之，若二十日，兵發；伺始入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years invades the five feudal princes, or stays there, there will be military campaigns and appointments of generals; generals will repeatedly go to war. The feudal princes will have troubles, or someone will die. Wu Xian says: When the star of years enters the five feudal princes, starting from the day it leaves, if it takes twenty days, military actions will occur; another calculation, based on its original position of entry, suggests the time will be ten days, and the army will disband. The five feudal princes, represented by the five stars, are located north of the Well mansion, symbolizing the enfeoffment and ranking of the feudal princes.

《玄冥占》曰：“歲星守北諸侯，臣有謀主者；若議臣不忠，若有罪黜．，期一年。”石氏日：“歲星中犯乘守五諸侯，兵死，期三年。”郗萌曰：“歲星中犯乘守五諸侯，為所中乘守者誅，若有殃，期三年，兵發。”

The Xuanming Divination says: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at the northern feudal star, there will be ministers plotting against the sovereign; or there will be unfaithful ministers in deliberation; or there will be officials who have committed offenses and are demoted. The fulfillment of this omen is within one year. The Shi school says: When Jupiter moves directly to attack, overpowers, and occupies the five feudal stars, it indicates that someone will die in military affairs. The fulfillment of this omen is within three years. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter moves directly to attack, overpowers, and occupies the five feudal stars, the one who is attacked, overpowered, or occupied will be executed or suffer calamity. The fulfillment of this omen is within three years, with military action occurring.

巫咸曰：“歲星犯守積水，其國有水災，物不成，魚鹽貴：一曰以水為敗，糴大貴，人民飢，期二年。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet of years invades and stays in the accumulation of water, the country will suffer from floods, crops will not grow, and the prices of fish and salt will rise; another view is that the failure is caused by water, leading to a surge in rice prices and people starving, and this will happen within two years. The accumulation of water star is located in the northwest of the northern river, which is in charge of storing water for brewing and sacrifices, so when it is violated, it specifically indicates water disasters and the fluctuation in prices of fish and salt.

甘氏曰：“歲星守積薪，天下大旱，五穀不登，人民飢亡。”

The Gan school says: When the star of the year is stationed at the accumulation of firewood, there will be a great drought across the land, leading to poor harvests of grain and the death of people from famine. The accumulation of firewood star is located east of the accumulation of water, which governs the firewood used for cooking in the kitchen, and together with the accumulation of water, it forms a contrast of water and fire. Therefore, when this star is disturbed, the effect should be on drought.

郗萌曰：“歲星犯水位，大水：一曰出其南，大旱。”石氏曰：“歲星犯守水位，天下以水為害，津關不通；一曰大水入城郭，傷人民，皆不出其年。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter invading the water position indicates a great flood; another view is that it emerging from the southern side of the water position indicates a great drought. The Shi school said: When Jupiter invades and stays in the water position, the whole country will suffer from water disasters, and ferry crossings and checkpoints will be blocked; another view is that great floods will flood the city walls and harm the people, and these will all be fulfilled within the same year. The four stars of the water position are located east of the Well mansion, indicating matters concerning water balance and rivers, canals, and ditches.

郗萌曰：“歲星出東陵，有青龍出左右，若宮中者。”石氏曰：“歲星在軒轅中，有以女子請人君者。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星行軒轅中，犯女主，女主失勢，（失勢者，憂喪也。）列大夫有放逐者，五官有不治者，色悴為憂，為疾，其所中犯乘守者，誅：若有罪。歲星中犯女主者，皆為女主當之，其守犯女主，女主有憂。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter emerges from the eastern encampment, with the aura of the Azure Dragon appearing on its left and right, or within the palace. The Shi school said: When Jupiter is located in the middle of Xuanyan, there will be people who use women to request favors from the sovereign. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Jupiter passes through Xuanyan, it invades the star of the female ruler, causing the female ruler to lose power (note: losing power refers to suffering misfortune and calamity); among the ministers, some will be exiled, and among the five officials, some will be incompetent; a pale and withered star color indicates misfortune and illness; whoever is directly invaded, overpowered, or occupied by Jupiter will be executed or punished. If Jupiter invades the female ruler's star from the center, the female ruler will bear the consequences; if Jupiter occupies and invades the female ruler's star, the female ruler will suffer misfortune. The seventeen stars of Xuanyan lie north of the seven stars, forming the body of the Yellow Dragon, governing the position of the empress.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：宋元嘉十四年七月辛卯，歲星入軒轅，其後皇后袁氏崩。）《荊州占》曰：“歲星守軒轅，女后有以子諍者。”巫咸曰：“歲星行犯守軒轅，女主失政，若失勢：一日大臣當之，若有黜者，期二年。”

The original book's marginal notes cite the "Book of Song, Annals of Astronomy" which says: In the fourteenth year of Yuanjia during the Song dynasty, in the seventh month on the Xinmao day, the planet Jupiter entered the region of Xuanyan, and afterwards the queen dowager Yuan died. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter guards Xuanyan, the queen will quarrel with others over matters concerning her son. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter passes through, invades, and stays in Xuanyan, the female ruler will lose her power to govern, or lose her influence; another interpretation suggests the calamity will fall upon a minister, or someone will be demoted; the predicted time is two years.

《玉曆》曰：“歲星犯守軒轅，女主有憂，其君失政，威令不行，後宮不安，期一年。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：考桓延熹七年八月庚申。歲星犯軒轅大星，八年二月癸亥，皇后鄧氏坐執左道，廢，遷於祠宮，死。）

The Yulu says: The star of years invades and stays at Xuanyuan, and a female ruler will have troubles. The ruler loses control of government, his commands cannot be carried out, the palace becomes unstable, and this will happen within a year. The original book's marginal note cites Sima Biao's "Astronomical Records": In the seventh year of Huan Di's Yanzhi period, August Gengshen, the star of years invaded the great star of Xuanyuan; in the second month of the eighth year, Guihai, the queen dowager Deng was accused of practicing witchcraft and sorcery, was disgraced, exiled to a temple palace, and later died.

石氏曰：“歲星入軒轅中，犯乘守之，有逆賊，有火災。歲星犯乘守軒轅太民星，大飢，大流，太后宗有誅者，若有罪；中犯乘守少民星，小飢，小流，皇后宗有誅者，若有罪。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星中犯乘守軒轅左右角，皆為大臣當之。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years enters the middle of Xuanyuan and invades, overpowers, and stays there, there will be rebels and fires. If the star of years invades, overpowers, and stays on the Tai Min star of Xuanyuan, it indicates a great famine and a large number of people fleeing, with the太后's family being punished or guilty. If it invades, overpowers, and stays on the Xiao Min star of Xuanyuan, it indicates a small famine and a small number of people fleeing, with the queen's family being punished or guilty. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the star of years invades, overpowers, and stays on the left and right angles of Xuanyuan, the disaster will be borne by the ministers.

石氏曰：“歲星入少微，君當求賢佐：不求賢佐，則失威奪勢矣。歲星犯守少微，名士有憂，王者任用小人，忠臣被害，有死者。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入犯乘守少微，宰相易。歲星入中犯乘守少微，女主憂。”石氏曰；“歲星入中犯乘守少微，五官亂，宰相有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the star of years enters the region of Xiao Wei, the sovereign should seek virtuous ministers; if he does not seek virtuous ministers, his authority will be undermined and his power will be taken away. When the star of years invades and occupies Xiao Wei, renowned scholars will suffer misfortune, the sovereign will employ villains, loyal ministers will be persecuted, and some may even be killed. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the star of years enters, invades, overpowers, and occupies Xiao Wei, the prime minister will be replaced; when the star of years deeply enters and invades, overpowers, and occupies Xiao Wei, there will be worries for the female sovereign. The Shi school says: When the star of years deeply enters and invades, overpowers, and occupies Xiao Wei, the five officials will be in disorder, and the prime minister will suffer misfortune. The four stars of Xiao Wei are located to the west of Tai Wei, representing the positions of hermits and advisors, so they specifically indicate the appointment or dismissal of virtuous talents.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“歲星行犯太微左右執法，為大臣有憂。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯左右執法，執法者誅，若有罪。”

The "Imperial Inspection and Enjoyment" states: When the planet Jupiter passes through and invades the Left and Right Judges stars in the Taiwei Enclosure, it indicates that ministers will suffer calamities. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter invades the Left and Right Judges, those who hold the position of judges will be executed or punished. The Taiwei Enclosure is the southern palace court of the Son of Heaven, with the Left and Right Judges located on either side of the End Gate. In the human world, they correspond to the Chief Justice and the Grand Censor.

（班固《天文志》曰：袁帝元壽元年十一月，歲星入太微，逆行干右執法，二年十月戊寅，高安侯董賢免大司馬位，歸第自殺。司馬彪《天文志》曰：“考桓延熹九年十月癸酉，歲星犯左執法，十一月戊午，歲星入犯左執法，其九年十一月，荊州刺史李隗等皆棄市，至永康元十二月，太傅陳蕃，大將軍寶武等皆枉死也。）

The original book's marginal notes cite Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records" which says: In the tenth lunar month of the first year of Emperor Hui of the Han dynasty (the text originally reads "Yuan Emperor," which is a mistaken character for "Hui Emperor"), the planet Jupiter entered the Taimei region and moved retrogradely, offending the Right Judicial Officer. In the tenth lunar month of the second year, on the fifth day of the fifth month (Wuyin), the Marquess of Gao'an, Dong Xian, was dismissed from his position as Grand Commandant and returned to his residence where he committed suicide. It also cites Sima Biao's "Astronomical Records" which says: In the ninth year of Yanshi during Emperor Huan's reign, in the tenth lunar month on the tenth day of the tenth month (Guiyou), the planet Jupiter offended the Left Judicial Officer; in the eleventh lunar month on the fifth day of the fifth month (Wuwu), the planet Jupiter entered the Taimei region and again offended the Left Judicial Officer. At this time in the eleventh lunar month, officials such as Li Wei, the Inspector of Jingzhou, were all executed and their bodies were displayed in the marketplace. By the twelfth lunar month of Yongkang Year One, officials such as the Grand Minister Chen Fan and General-in-Chief Dou Wu all died unjustly.

《荊州占》曰；“歲星道從太微西蕃北南方星間入，致南蕃東方星間南出道中，西蕃直坐入者，非道也。歲星以壬子日慎入太微天廷中，天子所使也：不以壬子日入，非天子使。”郗萌曰：“歲星當太微門，為受制；當左執法，為受事左執法；當右執法，受事右執法；守太微門，三日以下為受制；三日以上為兵，為賊，為亂，為飢。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet Jupiter is the wood star, and when it enters and exits the "Taiwei Enclosure," it follows either the proper path or an improper one. If it enters from between the westernmost stars of the Taiwei Enclosure,偏向 the north, and the southern stars, then exits from between the eastern stars of the southernmost part, moving southward, this is following the proper path. However, if it enters directly from the westernmost stars facing the position of the Imperial Seat, then it is not following the proper path. When the Jupiter star slowly enters the Taiwei celestial court on a "Renzi" day, it symbolizes that it is acting on the emperor's command. If it does not enter on a "Renzi" day, then it is not sent by the emperor. Xi Meng says: When the Jupiter star is directly facing the southern gate of the Taiwei Enclosure, it indicates receiving the emperor's decree. If it is directly facing the "Zuofazhang" star, it indicates receiving affairs from the left judicial official. If it is directly facing the "Youfazhang" star, it indicates receiving affairs from the right judicial official. If it stays and guards the Taiwei gate, and remains for three days or less, it still indicates receiving a decree. If it stays for more than three days, it indicates military actions, bandits, disturbances, and famine.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星出東掖門為相，受命東南，出德事也；出西掖門為將，受命西南，出刑事也；期以春夏。”《齊伯占》曰：“歲星入太微，執道而出，王者有福，諸侯有受賜爵封者。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入天廷，色白潤澤，為期百八十日，有谷：歲星東行入太微廷中，出東門，天下有急兵；若守，將相御史大臣有死者：若入端門守廷，大禍至：入南門出東門，國大旱：若入南門逆行出西門，有大水；逆入東門出西門，大國破亡：若順入西蕃而留不去，楚國凶殃。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter exits from the "Eastern Side Gate" of the Taiwei Enclosure, it indicates an event concerning the chancellor, and the mandate will be received in the Southeast direction, dealing with matters of bestowing kindness and virtue; when it exits from the "Western Side Gate," it indicates an event concerning the general, and the mandate will be received in the Southwest direction, dealing with matters of punishment, execution, and military campaigns; the verification period occurs in the spring and summer seasons. The *Qibozhuan* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Taiwei Enclosure and proceeds along the proper path to exit, the sovereign will have good fortune, and among the feudal lords, someone will be granted titles and territories. The *Huangdi Divination* says: When the planet Jupiter enters the celestial court, that is, the Taiwei Enclosure, and the star appears white and moist, it will take 180 days, and there will be a good harvest. If the planet Jupiter proceeds eastward into the Taiwei Court and exits from the Eastern Gate, there will be urgent military affairs throughout the land; if it remains stationed at the waiting post without moving, there will be deaths among the chancellors and officials of the imperial court. If it enters through the "End Gate" and stays within the court, great calamity will come; if it enters through the Southern Gate and exits through the Eastern Gate, there will be a great drought in the country; if it enters through the Southern Gate and exits westward through the Western Gate, there will be a great flood; if it proceeds westward into the Western Border and remains stationed there without moving, the region of Chu will suffer misfortune.

《合誠圖》曰：“歲星入華闕門者，為臣殺之、候之。”石氏曰：“歲星入太微中華東西門，若左右掖門，而南出端門者，必有反臣。歲星入太微西門出東門，為人君不安，欲求賢佐：有入中華西門出中華東門，為臣出令：有入太陰西門出太陰東門，為天下大亂，有喪，若大水。”

The "Hecheng Tu" says: When the star of years enters the "Huakuemen" gate of the Taimei Enclosure, it indicates that there will be a minister committing regicide, and one must be vigilant. The Shi school says: When the star of years enters the "Zhonghua Dongmen" or "Zhonghua Ximen" gates, or the Left Yemen or Right Yemen gates of the Taimei Enclosure, and then exits southward through the Duamen gate, there will certainly be a rebellious minister. If the star of years enters through the Taimei Ximen and exits through the Dongmen, it signifies that the sovereign is troubled in mind and is seeking virtuous ministers to assist him. If it enters through the Zhonghua Ximen and exits through the Zhonghua Dongmen, it indicates that government orders are issued by ministers. If it enters through the Taiyin Ximen and exits through the Taiyin Dongmen, there will be great chaos throughout the country, with loss of life or a major flood disaster.

郗萌曰：“歲星入太微西門，犯天廷，出端門，皆為大臣伐主；入西門而初出右掖門，皆為大臣假主之威而不從主命。歲星入西華門出端門，為臣詐稱詔。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入太陰西門若端門出東門；貴者奪威勢。歲星與五星俱會太微宮中，成勾己而光不相及者，三王九侯亡：一曰名臣爭為主，更相殘賊。歲月入太微天廷出端門，臣不臣。歲星入太微宮，為天下大驚：一曰有兵。歲星入天廷，國不安其宮。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter enters through the western gate of Taiwei, invades the heavenly court, and then exits through the end gate, which indicates ministers attacking the sovereign. If Jupiter enters through the western gate and exits first through the right wing gate, it indicates ministers using the sovereign's authority and not obeying the sovereign's orders. If Jupiter enters through the 'Xihua Gate' and exits through the end gate, it indicates ministers forging imperial edicts. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Jupiter enters through the 'western gate of Taiyin' or the end gate and exits through the eastern gate, the power and authority of the powerful will be taken away. If Jupiter and other stars gather in the Taiwei palace, and their path is curved into the shape of 'gou ji' without their lights connecting, the three kings and nine ministers will perish. Another interpretation is that renowned ministers will vie for the throne and kill each other. If Jupiter enters the heavenly court and exits through the end gate, ministers will not follow the proper conduct of ministers (the original text mistakenly writes 'yue' instead of 'Jupiter'). If Jupiter enters the Taiwei palace, the whole country will be greatly shocked; another interpretation is that there will be military affairs. If Jupiter enters the heavenly court, the country cannot remain secure in its palace.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“歲星入太微，人主改政。”巫咸曰：“歲星逆行入太微天廷中，為大臣有誅；若諸侯戮死，期二年。”石氏曰：“歲星逆行太微之中，及出入左右掖門，為有逆謀，天子有命，將征伐之事：一曰大赦可以解其患。歲星逆行入太陽東門，若入中華門，入主改政，非次，天下不安。”

Simao Biao's "Astronomical Records" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the Taimei Enclosure, the sovereign should change his policies. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter retrogrades and enters the Taimei celestial court, it indicates that ministers will be executed; or that princes will be put to death, within a period of two years. The Shi school says: When Jupiter retrogrades within the Taimei Enclosure, and enters or exits through the Left and Right Wings gates, there will be plots of rebellion, and the Son of Heaven will issue an order to launch military campaigns; another interpretation is that a great amnesty can resolve this calamity. When Jupiter retrogrades and enters through the "Sun's Eastern Gate" or the "Zhonghua Gate," the sovereign will change his policies, and these changes will not follow the usual order, leading to unrest in the world (this sentence originally had "rulers" mistakenly written as "entering the court").

郗萌日：“歲星逆行入左掖門，為臣劫其主；有入東華門，至黃帝座，出西門，為臣欲謀主；不成。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星逆行入太微，強臣凌主，諸侯兵起。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星主東方，南逆行入太微東南隅星之北，為南方，入二星之北，為東方。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Jupiter movesretrograde from the left gate, indicating that ministers will seize the ruler. If it enters through the 'Eastern Gate' and proceeds all the way to the 'Yellow Emperor's Seat', then exits through the western gate, it indicates that ministers intend to plot against the ruler, but the plot will not succeed. The Jade Calendar says: When Jupiter movesretrograde into the Taimei Enclosure, powerful ministers will oppress the ruler, and the feudal lords will raise armies. The Jingzhou Divination says: Jupiter normally governs the East. If it moves southwardretrograde and enters the southern corner of the Taimei Enclosure, the omen will be in the South; if it enters the northern side of those two stars, the omen will be in the East.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星留於太微，守三十日以上，為必有兵革，天下大赦。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入太微從右，二十日以上，人主大不安，有大憂。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：魏貴初五年，歲星入太微，逆行積百四十幾日乃出，至—匕年五月，文帝崩，明帝即位，大赦天下。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Jupiter lingers in the Taiwei Enclosure for more than thirty days, there will certainly be warfare, followed by a great amnesty throughout the land. The Jingzhou Divination says: If the planet Jupiter enters the Taiwei Enclosure from the right and stays for more than twenty days, the ruler will be extremely anxious and there will be great troubles. The following is a note from the original text, citing the "Song History · Astronomical Records": In the fifth year of Wei Huangchu (the original text mistakenly writes "Guichu" instead of "Huangchu"), the planet Jupiter entered the Taiwei Enclosure and moved retrograde for over one hundred forty days before exiting; in May of the seventh year of Wei Huangchu (the original text here has a character error, written as "—匕 year"), Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, died, and Emperor Ming of Wei, Cao Rui, ascended the throne, and a great amnesty was declared throughout the land.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入太微，從右入七日以上，為人主憂。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：考桓延熹九年正月壬辰，歲星入太微中，五十八日出端門，永康元年十二月丁丑，桓帝崩。）歲星道南蕃入留止南門，為大臣有憂。歲星留太微廷中，為天下大憂；中央留十日以上，皆為天下有亡徒為兵者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the star of years enters the Taimei Enclosure from the right side and stays for more than seven days, the sovereign will have worries. The following is a commentary from the original text, citing Wang Maibiao's *Astronomical Annals*: In the ninth year of Huan Di's Yanyi period (the original text mistakenly writes 'Kao Huan' instead of 'Xiao Huan'), in the first lunar month on the day of Renchen, the star of years entered the Taimei Enclosure, and after fifty-eight days it exited from the end gate. By the twelfth lunar month on the day of Dingchou in Yongkang Year One, Huan Di died. When the star of years enters through the southern藩 and stays at the southern gate, it indicates that ministers will have worries. If the star of years remains in the Taimei Court, it signifies great worries for the whole country. If it stays in the central part of the Taimei Enclosure for more than ten days, it indicates that there will be gatherings of outlaws leading to military disturbances.

陳卓曰：“歲星入太微，犯左，左執法將相執法者有憂，若死亡；近期一年，遠五年。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入太微天廷，所中犯乘守者，殺；若有罪，各以守官名之。歲星食太微東西蕃，四輔臣有誅者，若君臣失禮。”

Chen Zhuo said: The star of years enters the Taimei Enclosure, and if it confronts the left side, the generals and officials under the jurisdiction of "Left Law Officer" will suffer misfortune, even death; this will be fulfilled within a year or within five years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star of years enters the Taimei celestial court, any star that is directly confronted, confronted, overpowers, or stays in place by the star of years, the person governed by that star will be killed; or be guilty of a crime, and the specific person to be punished will be determined according to the official title corresponding to the star that is guarded. If the star of years erodes the eastern and western borders of the Taimei Enclosure, there will be executions among the "Four Assistants," or there will be a lack of propriety between the sovereign and ministers.

石氏曰：“歲星犯黃帝座，改正易王，天下亂，存亡半。”又占曰：“歲星逆來犯黃帝座，王者惡之，禍成矣，期三年。”郗萌曰：“歲星干犯黃帝座，非其主立，天下不安。”《荊州占》曰；“歲星入黃帝座，其色白者，為有赦。”又占曰：“歲星逆行入太微天廷中，為諸侯將有戮上者。至黃帝座而成，不至黃帝座而還，有謀不成，以其入日占國。”又占曰：“歲星中黃帝座，為大人易，天下大亂。”又占曰：“歲星觸黃帝座，主賊，”《黃帝占》曰：“守黃帝座，大人憂。”

The "Yellow Emperor's Seat" is the largest star at the center of the Taimei Enclosure, symbolizing the emperor himself. The Shi school says: when the planet Jupiter approaches and confronts the Yellow Emperor's Seat, it indicates a change in the calendar system and a change of ruler, leading to great chaos, with half of the people surviving and half perishing. Another divination says: when Jupiter moves retrograde and confronts the Yellow Emperor's Seat, the ruler most fears this celestial phenomenon, as calamity has already been set in motion, and the time limit is three years. Xi Meng says: when Jupiter confronts the Yellow Emperor's Seat, there will be an improper person being established as ruler, causing unrest throughout the land. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: when Jupiter enters the Yellow Emperor's Seat and the star appears white, it indicates that a general pardon will be issued. Another divination says: when Jupiter moves retrograde and enters the Taimei celestial court, it signifies that among the feudal lords there will be someone who kills the sovereign; if it continues all the way to the Yellow Emperor's Seat, the matter will be accomplished; if it does not reach the Yellow Emperor's Seat and turns back, the plot will fail. According to the day it enters the Taimei Enclosure, the corresponding region can be determined to identify which state it concerns. Another divination says: when Jupiter is directly in the Yellow Emperor's Seat, it indicates the replacement of the great person, that is, the ruler, leading to great chaos. Another divination says: when Jupiter touches the Yellow Emperor's Seat, it indicates the occurrence of bandits. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: when Jupiter guards the Yellow Emperor's Seat, the great person will face troubles.

石氏曰：“歲星犯守四帝，臣謀主：去之一尺，事不成。”《玉曆》曰：“歲星入太微，犯四帝，闢憂君也。”甘氏曰：“歲星中犯乘守四帝座，天下亡。”

The "Four Imperial Seats" are four stars surrounding the Yellow Emperor's seat in the Taiwei Enclosure, symbolizing the imperial seats of the east, south, west, and north. The Shi school says that if the planet Jupiter approaches or stays near the Four Imperial Seats, it indicates that ministers may plot against the sovereign; if Jupiter is more than a foot away from the Four Imperial Seats, the matter will not succeed. The "Jade Calendar" says that when Jupiter enters the Taiwei Enclosure and approaches the Four Imperial Seats, the sovereign should be anxious. The Gan school says that if Jupiter is directly in the middle, approaches, invades, or stays near the Four Imperial Seats, the country will be on the verge of collapse.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯守屏星，君臣失禮，下而謀上：一曰大臣有戮死者。”石氏曰：“歲星中犯乘守屏星，為君臣失禮，而輔臣有誅者，若免罷去。”

"The 'Screen Star' symbolizes obstruction and concealment, and is positioned in front of the Emperor's seat in the Taimei垣 (Court of the Supreme Palace). It is like a screen in front of the throne. The Gan school says that when the planet Jupiter approaches or stays near the Screen Star, it indicates disorder in the relationship between the sovereign and ministers, with those in lower positions plotting against those in higher positions; another interpretation suggests that a high-ranking minister may be executed. The Shi school says that when the planet Jupiter is directly in the middle, approaches, overpowers, or stays near the Screen Star, it indicates disorder between the sovereign and ministers, with a chief minister being executed or dismissed from office."

甘氏曰；“歲星犯守郎位，輔臣有謀，左右宿衛者為亂，王者宜備之。”

"The 'Liang Wei' refers to a group of stars within the Taimei Yuan that symbolize officials known as Liang officials. Liang officials are attendants who serve near the Son of Heaven, providing advice and being available for tasks. The Gan school states: if the planet Jupiter is in opposition to or occupies the Liang Wei, it indicates that the chief ministers in the court may be plotting secretly, and the guards serving near the monarch might rebel. The king should be prepared in advance."

巫咸曰：“歲星犯守郎將，命曰陵；陵則將有誅，若將憂；一曰大臣為亂，誠慎左右。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯乘守郎將，具有以符節為奸者。”又占曰：“歲星中犯乘守郎，將必有不還之使，”

"The position of Langjiang is a military post responsible for leading the Lang officials in guarding the court, and its corresponding star is located beside the Lang position. Wu Xian said: if the planet Jupiter is in opposition to or occupies the position of Langjiang, this celestial phenomenon is called 'ling'; once it becomes 'ling', generals will be executed, or the generals will face calamities; another interpretation suggests that ministers will rebel, and the ruler must be cautious and vigilant about the attendants around him. The 'Jingzhou Divination' states: if the planet Jupiter is in opposition to, attacks, or occupies the position of Langjiang, it indicates that someone will use a token to act improperly and commit wrongdoing. Another divination says: if the planet Jupiter is directly in the middle, in opposition to, attacks, or occupies the position of Langjiang, there will certainly be envoys sent abroad who will not return alive."

甘氏曰：“歲星犯守常陳，守衛有謀，兵起宮中，天子自出行，誅：期百八十日，遠一年。”

The constellation Cháng Chén is located north of the Taimei Yuan, consisting of seven stars, symbolizing the bodyguards of the Son of Heaven arrayed in formation to guard and clear the way. The Gan school says: if the planet Jupiter confronts or resides in Cháng Chén, it indicates that those in charge of the palace guards may have conspiracies, and military disorder will arise within the palace. The Son of Heaven must personally take action to punish the offenders. The duration is 180 days, or up to a year.

《玉曆》曰：“歲星入犯上臺司命，近臣有罪，若有誅：一曰近臣有逃走者，以五色占：色黃，當日無故：青黑，憂死喪，期一年。”郗萌曰：“歲星犯守上臺，改年易紀，太尉死，不則天子惡之；中臺，司徒病；下臺，司空。期百日，若七十日，丙子日。”《文曜鉤》曰：“歲星犯守中臺，司中奸臣有謀，若誅者，中公當之。”巫咸曰：“歲星犯守下臺，司祿近臣有罪，若出走，黑死者。

The "Three Palaces" consist of six stars, arranged in pairs, divided into Upper Palace, Middle Palace, and Lower Palace, symbolizing the positions of the Three Grand Ministers. The "Yulì" states: if the planet Jupiter approaches or stays near the Upper Palace, the Upper Palace is also called "Director of Destiny," indicating that a close minister will be punished or executed; another interpretation suggests that there may be a fleeing minister, and the fate can be judged by the five colors of the star: if the star appears yellow, there will be no incident that day; if it appears dark blue, there will be sorrow related to death, with the period lasting one year. Xi Meng says: if Jupiter approaches or stays near the Upper Palace, it signifies a change of era, the death of the Grand Marshal, or the emperor's dislike of the matter; if it approaches the Middle Palace, the Minister of Works will fall ill; if it approaches the Lower Palace, the Minister of Public Works will be affected. The duration is either one hundred days or seventy days, and it should occur on the day of Bingzi. The "Wenyao Gou" states: if Jupiter approaches or stays near the Middle Palace, the Middle Palace is also called "Director of the Middle," indicating that there will be plots by wicked ministers or executions, and the person in the position of the Middle Minister will bear the consequences. Wu Xian says: if Jupiter approaches or stays near the Lower Palace, the Lower Palace is also called "Director of Officials' Wages," indicating that a close minister will be punished, or will flee, or there will be an accidental death (the character "black" in the original text is suspected to be a mistake, and the quoted text also omits the closing quotation mark).

石氏曰：“歲星犯相星，輔臣凶。”

"The Xiang Star" is located south of the Big Dipper's Kuai Star, symbolizing the prime minister who assists the emperor. The Shi school says: when the Year Star confronts the Xiang Star, it indicates that the chief minister in charge of administration will suffer misfortune.

甘氏曰：“歲星犯守太陽守，大臣戮死：若有誅，謀不出年。”

"The Star of Brightness and Prestige" is a single star located below the Big Dipper's handle and to the west of the ministering star. It symbolizes high-ranking military officials and generals who hold command. The Gan school says: if the year star confronts or stays near the Star of Brightness and Prestige, it indicates that a high-ranking official will be executed or someone will be put to death. This conspiracy will come to light within a year.

《海中占》曰：“歲星犯守天牢，王者以獄為弊，貴人多係者。”

"The Heavenly Prison" consists of six stars located beneath the Qiu Star of the Big Dipper, symbolizing a prison for noblemen. The "Sea Divination" states: When the year star confronts or resides in the Heavenly Prison, it indicates that the king will suffer harm due to legal matters, and many noblemen will be imprisoned.

石氏曰：“歲星入文昌，天下兵起，其君不安，若有走主。”

The Star of Examinations and Documents consists of six stars positioned before the Big Dipper's Handle. It symbolizes the six departments of the Son of Heaven and presides over cultural governance and imperial edicts concerning appointments. The Shi school states that when the planet Jupiter enters the Star of Examinations and Documents, military conflicts will arise throughout the land, causing unrest among the rulers of that region, and even leading to the flight or exile of a sovereign.

《聖洽符》曰：“歲星入北斗口中，天下大亂，改政易王，國有大喪，期三年。”巫咸曰：“歲星入北斗，若守之，貴臣受殃。”郗萌曰：“歲星入守北斗，貴人有繫。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守北斗，天子惡之。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守北斗，不出一年，其歲大水；一曰大赦。”

The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are the chariot of the Heavenly Emperor, moving in the center and governing the four directions, overseeing commands, ranks, and life and death. The "Sheng Qie Fu" says: When the planet Jupiter enters the mouth of the Big Dipper formed by the魁 star, the world will experience great chaos, changes in government and rulers, and a major national mourning, lasting three years. Wu Xian says: When Jupiter enters the Big Dipper or stays there, prominent ministers will suffer misfortune. Xi Meng says: When Jupiter enters and stays in the Big Dipper, it indicates that noblemen will be imprisoned. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" says: When Jupiter stays in the Big Dipper, the emperor will be wary of this celestial phenomenon. The "Jingzhou Zhuan" also says: When Jupiter stays in the Big Dipper, within a year, there will be a great flood; another account says there will be a major amnesty.

《海中占》曰：“歲星入長垣，天子以兵自衛，強臣凌主；一曰叛臣被誅，若戮死；期不出百八十日。”《玄冥占》曰：“歲星入紫微宮，奸臣有謀，兵起宮中，天下亂，人主憂，期二年。”巫咸曰：“歲星守紫微宮，民莫處其室宅，流移去其鄉。”

"The Purple Micro Palace" refers to the Purple Micro Enclosure, which is the palace where the heavenly emperor resides. The two walls on either side enclose it like a city, so it is also called the Long Enclosure.

《黃帝占》曰：“歲星入天廟，若守皆為廟事；一曰為凶，憂。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星入天廟，有廟殘之事，吏不去，死。”

"The Heavenly Temple" consists of fourteen stars located south of the Zhang Xu mansion, representing the ancestral temple of the Son of Heaven. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states that when the planet Jupiter enters the Heavenly Temple or stays there, it signifies matters concerning the ancestral temple and worship; another interpretation suggests it indicates misfortune and worry. The "Jingzhou Divination" says that when Jupiter enters the Heavenly Temple, it foretells the destruction and damage of the ancestral temple, and if the officials in charge of the temple do not resign, they will die.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星守入土司空，有土徭之事。”

"The 'Earth Official' (土司空) governs earth and wood construction. Wu Xian classified it as an external official. The 'Jingzhou Divination' states: When the planet Jupiter is in the 'Earth Official' sign and enters it, there will be matters concerning conscription for earth and wood construction projects."

《荊州占》曰：“歲星犯守乘鍵閉星，大臣有誤天子尊事天者，天子不宜出宮下殿，有匿兵於宗廟中者。”《荊州占》曰：“歲星守健閉，王者出國，不出七十日。”

The star "Key and Lock" is located in the northeast of the Room Mansion. Key refers to the door latch, and Lock refers to the key, symbolizing the control of gates and doors. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If the planet Jupiter confronts, guards, or invades the Key and Lock star, it indicates that ministers have made mistakes in the rituals of the emperor worshiping heaven and deities. The emperor should not leave the palace or descend from the throne, as there are weapons hidden in the ancestral temple. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: If Jupiter guards the Key and Lock star (the original text mistakenly writes "Jian" instead of "Key"), it indicates the king will travel away from the capital, and this will come to pass within seventy days.

郗萌曰：“歲星守天淵，海水出，江河決溢，若海魚出。”

"The Ten Stars of Tianyuan are located to the southeast of the Bie star, representing deep irrigation ditches and pools. Xi Meng said: When the planet Jupiter is stationed at Tianyuan, it indicates that seawater will surge, rivers will overflow and flood, or sea fish will swim into inland areas."

《荊州占》曰：“歲星入天廄中，十日以上，馬有食變。”《黃帝占》曰：“歲星守天廄，為災之事，人主以馬為憂，不則馬死。”

"The Heavenly Stables" consist of ten stars located north of the Encampment Mansion, representing the stables where the Son of Heaven keeps his carriages and horses. The "Jingzhou Divination" states that when the planet Jupiter enters the Heavenly Stables and stays for more than ten days, there will be disturbances in the supply of fodder for the horses. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says that when Jupiter guards the Heavenly Stables, it indicates calamities and unusual events; the ruler will worry about the horses, or else the horses will die.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑一曰赤星。”《廣雅釋天篇》曰：“熒惑一日罰星，或曰執法。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑居東，為懸息；西方，為天理；南方，為熒惑；其行無常，司無道之國。”吳龔《天官書》曰：“熒惑，火之精，其位在南方，赤帝之子，方伯之象也。為天候，主歲成敗，司察妖孽，東西南北，無有常，出則有兵，入則兵散，周旋止息，乃為死喪。”

"Yinghuo" refers to the planet Mars. Among the five luminaries, it appears red like fire and moves erratically, causing confusion, hence its name. It presages warfare, loss of life, and chaos. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says that Yinghuo is also called "Chixing" (Red Star). The "Guangya · Xishitian" says that it is also called "Faxing" (Punishment Star), and some call it "Fazhang" (Law Enforcer). The "Jingzhou Divination" states that when Yinghuo is in the east, it is called "Xuanshi"; when in the west, it is called "Tianli"; and when in the south, it is called "Yinghuo." It moves without a fixed path, specifically observing unrighteous states. Wu Gong's "Tian Guan Shu" says that Yinghuo is formed from the essence of fire, located in the south, and is the son of the Red Emperor, symbolizing the feudal lords. It serves as heaven's scout, overseeing the abundance or scarcity of harvests, and monitoring strange omens and calamities. It roams freely in all directions; when it appears, there will be warfare, and when it disappears, warfare ceases. If it circles and remains stationary, there will be calamities involving death and loss.

《詩緯含神霧》曰：“熒惑司實。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑主候守。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑主禮成，天意；禮失，則妾為妻，支為嗣，精感類應，則熒惑逆見，變怪。”石氏曰：“熒惑主憂，主南維，主於火日，主丙丁，主禮，禮失者，罰出熒惑之逆行是也，此失夏政也。以其所守之舍，命其國。”

The Shijing Wei · Han Shen Wu says: The planet Mars governs whether names and realities correspond. The Ch'unqiu Wei says: The planet Mars governs surveillance and watchfulness. The Ch'unqiu Wei also says: The planet Mars governs the establishment of rites and rituals. When rites and rituals conform to heavenly will, they are peaceful; but when rites and rituals are destroyed, there will be such transgressions as taking a concubine as a wife or a collateral branch as the legitimate heir. The vital energies respond and like things attract each other, so the planet Mars appears to moveretrograde, displaying various strange phenomena. The Shi school says: The planet Mars governs calamity, governs the southern celestial meridian, governs days of the fire element, governs the heavenly stems Jia and Yi, and governs rites. When rites are destroyed, heavenly punishment manifests as the planet Mars movingretrograde, which is a sign of improper governance in the summer season. One should determine which country is affected by observing the star mansion corresponding to the planet Mars' position.

石氏曰：“熒惑者，天子之禮也，東西南北無有常，五月而出。”石氏曰：“熒惑主大鴻臚，主死喪。”巫咸曰：“熒惑者，太白之雄也，五星之伯也，其色赤，勝太白。”巫咸曰：“熒惑主憂患，過、惡、禍、福，所由坐也。”

The Shi school says: The planet Mars represents the rites of the Son of Heaven, moving east, west, south, and north without fixed course, hiding for five months before appearing again. The Shi school also says: Mars governs the Grand Master of Ceremonies, who oversees diplomatic affairs and matters of death and mourning. Wu Xian says: Mars is the male partner of the white star, the leader among the five planets, its color is red, and its power surpasses that of the white star. Wu Xian also says: Mars presides over calamity, and all human errors, crimes, disasters, and blessings are determined by it.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“熒惑於五常為禮，辨上下之節於五事，為視明察善惡之事也；禮虧視失逆夏令，則熒惑為旱災、為飢、為疾、為亂、為死喪、為賊、為妖言大怪也。”班固《天文志》曰：“逆夏令，傷火氣，罰見熒惑。”

The *Hóngfàn Wǔxíng Zhuàn* says that the planet Mars (Fenghuo) corresponds to "ritual propriety" (li) among the five constants (wuchang), used to distinguish between superiors and inferiors and regulate conduct. In the five aspects of appearance, speech, gaze, hearing, and thought, it corresponds to "gaze," governing the clarity of vision and the discernment of good and evil. When the system of ritual propriety is undermined, vision is impaired, and the summer season is violated, Mars will manifest as drought, famine, disease, disorder, death and mourning, banditry, and strange omens. Ban Gu's *Tianwen Zhi* states that violating the summer season harms the fire element, and heaven's punishment is thus revealed through Mars.

《淮南天文間詁鴻烈》曰：“南方火也，其帝祝融、其佐朱明，執衡而治夏；衡平地其神為熒惑，其獸為朱雀，其音徵，其日丙丁。又曰：“出入無常，辨其變，其色時見、時匿。”班固《天文志》曰：“熒惑天子理也。故曰：雖有明天子，必視熒惑所在。”郗萌曰：“熒惑為司馬。”

The "Astronomy" section of the "Huainanzi Honglie" says: The south belongs to fire, its heavenly emperor is Zhurong, its assistant is Zhu Ming, who holds the balance and governs summer; the balance represents fairness and justice, its deity is Yinghuo, its animal is the Vermilion Bird, its sound is the fifth tone, Zheng, and its day is Bing and Ding. It also says: Yinghuo appears and disappears without a fixed pattern, so we must carefully observe its changes; its color sometimes appears and sometimes disappears. Ban Gu's "Astronomy Chronicle" says: Yinghuo represents the governance of the Son of Heaven; thus, even if there is a sage on the throne, one must observe the position of Yinghuo. Xi Meng says: Yinghuo governs the military affairs of the Minister of War.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑火之精，其神上為熒惑，其國荊楚。又曰：“主吳越以南。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑，天一候者，司萬物之變。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑上承天一，下主司天下人臣之過，司驕、司奢、司禍、司賊、司飢、司荒、司死、司喪、司正、司直、司兵、司亂、司惑，災殃無不主之。”《荊州占》曰：“王者禮義，熒惑不留其國；凶殃，熒惑罰之。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The planet Mars is the spirit of fire, and when its spirit ascends to heaven, it becomes the planet Mars, corresponding to the region of Jingchu. It also says: It governs the area south of Wu and Yue. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Mars is the scout of the celestial one, in charge of the transformation of all things. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Mars receives its mandate from the celestial one above, and below it oversees the examination of the faults of the ministers of the state, managing arrogance, extravagance, calamity, bandits, hunger, famine, death, mourning, uprightness, integrity, warfare, disorder, and confusion; all calamities are under its jurisdiction. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the king practices propriety and righteousness, Mars will not remain in his territory; when the state suffers misfortune, Mars will come to punish it.

韓楊曰：“熒惑之為言；熒惑以像讒賊，進退無常，不可為極。”韓楊曰：“熒惑，火行之星，其理也，主諸侯。”韓楊曰：“熒惑為天一候，犯、逆、留，隱其雷鳴，臣子主社稷、傾五精、並聚弒成刑、出西反，明主不，熒受命興起，天下平，變色失行，所留者亡，所抵有兵。韓楊曰：“熒惑修禮，順則喜，逆則怒。”

Han Yang said: The term "Yinghuo" refers to a star that is luminous and confusing, symbolizing a cunning villain who spreads slander and causes harm. It is unpredictable and cannot be relied upon as a standard. Han Yang also said: Yinghuo is a star belonging to the fire element among the Five Phases. It governs governance and the feudal lords. Han Yang also said: Yinghuo serves as the scout of the heavenly deity Tianyi. If it appears to conflict, moveretrograde, or remain for a long time, and if thunder is silent, it indicates that ministers may seize control of the state, disrupt the regular order of the five stars, gather in groups to commit regicide, and cause calamity and punishment. When Yinghuo appears from the west and movesretrograde, a wise ruler will find it difficult to remain secure (the original text has some missing or corrupted words, making the meaning incomplete). When Yinghuo is mandated to rise, the world is at peace; but when it changes color or behaves improperly, the region it stays in will suffer ruin, and the region it confronts will experience warfare. Han Yang also said: Yinghuo governs the refinement of rituals. If rituals are orderly, Yinghuo is pleased; if rituals are disorderly, Yinghuo is angered.

石氏曰：“熒惑躁急、促疾，主南方，從巳至未，南方夏氣所治位也；盛陽在上，微陰在下，尊卑承養物禮也；言失夏政，封錫逆天，則熒惑有變。”韓楊曰：“熒惑入列宿，其國有殃。”韓楊曰：“熒惑所止，為其國君死。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑法使行無常。”

The Shi school says: The planet Mars is impetuous and quick in its movement, governing the south, and its position ranges from Si to Wei, which are the areas under the jurisdiction of the southern summer climate. At this time, the vigorous yang is above and the slight yin is below, which corresponds to the order of hierarchy and the nurturing of all things. This means that if the policies of summer are improper and the granting of rewards and punishments go against the way of heaven, the planet Mars will show anomalies. Han Yang says: When the planet Mars enters a particular star mansion, the country corresponding to that mansion will suffer calamity. Han Yang also says: Where the planet Mars stops moving, the king of that country will die. The Sea of Divination says: The planet Mars follows the duties of an envoy, moving without a fixed course.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“熒惑以上元甲子歲，十一月甲子朔旦，冬至夜半甲子時，與五星俱起於牛前五度，順行二十八宿右旋二歲一周天也。”（案《曆法》：熒惑一終七百七十九日一千三百四十分日之一千二百二十奇六十二歲強一周天）

The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: When the planet Mars is in the first year of the Jiazi cycle, on the first day of the eleventh month, at the early morning of the first day, exactly at the moment of the winter solstice, at the Jiazi hour, Mars appears together with the other four stars at a position five degrees before the Ox mansion. It then proceeds sequentially through the twenty-eight mansions, rotating to the right, completing a full circuit around the sky in about two years. The following is a note from the original text, based on astronomical calculations: The complete conjunction cycle of Mars is 779 days and 1,340 parts of 1,220 days. It takes about two years to complete a full circuit around the sky (the original text here has an error in the number of years).

《樂動聲儀》曰：“徵音和調，則熒惑日行四十二分度之一，伏五月得其度，不反明從海，則動應致焦明，至則有雨，備以樂和之。”

The "Yue Dong Sheng Yi" says: The Sheng tone of the five tones belongs to fire. When the Sheng tone is in harmony, the planet Mars moves one forty-second of a degree each day, remains hidden for five months, and then returns to its normal position. If it does not follow the normal course and return to brightness, and if it is moved by external influences, it will bring about the auspicious omen of "Jiao Ming," a water bird. When this bird appears, rain will follow. Music should be used to harmonize and respond to all these phenomena. (The original text has a missing or corrupted phrase in the sentence "Bù fǎn míng cóng hǎi.")

《春秋文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑東行急、一日行一度半，其行東西南北疾，兵各聚其下，主以煩穢，若自恣招禍，謀用戰，順之勝，逆之敗。”石氏曰：“熒惑行率變百五十六日，而行八十三度。”（舊《四分》及《景初》象家準法皆同。）

The Spring and Autumn Wen Yao Gou states: When the planet Mars moves eastward quickly, it travels one and a half degrees per day. If it moves swiftly in any direction—east, west, south, or north—then the armies will gather beneath the regions corresponding to its position, causing the ruler to be troubled and tainted. If the ruler indulges in excess and invites calamity, and if he plans military campaigns, then victory will be achieved by following the direction indicated by Mars, and defeat will result from going against it. The Shi school says: The usual rate of Mars' movement is one hundred and fifty-six days for each change of position, during which it passes through eighty-three degrees. The original commentary notes: The old Si Fen Li and Jing Chū Li calendars all follow the same principles in their calculations.

甘氏曰：“熒惑之東行也。急則一日一夜行七寸半，其益此則行疾，疾則兵聚於東方；熒惑之西行疾，則兵聚於西方；其南、其北，為有死喪；其南，丈夫之喪；其北，女子之喪。”甘氏曰：“熒惑法東方，修緯及常，十六舍而止；逆行西，運動以成章，舍一舍半。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars moves eastward, if it travels seven and a half chi in a day and night, exceeding this amount is called rapid movement; rapid movement indicates a gathering of troops in the east. When Mars moves westward quickly, troops gather in the west; if it deviates south or north, it signifies deaths—deviating south indicates the death of a man, deviating north indicates the death of a woman. The Gan school also says: Mars follows the way of the east, moving along the regular meridians and latitudes, and stops after passing sixteen star stations; when it moves westwardretrograde, it moves and stops in a regulated manner, retreating one station to one and a half stations each time.

巫咸曰：“熒惑休入常不得過五月而出，遠八月而出，受制則舉賢良，賞有功，主封侯，出財貨，行賑貸。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑日行一尺以上，期五月至十五月而廢；五寸以上，期十五月至二十五月而廢；三寸以上，期二十五月至三十月而廢；一寸以上，期三十月至五十月廢；諸廢期月或皆為日。”

Wu Xian said: If the planet Mars is hidden and enters beneath the sun, according to the usual pattern, it should reappear within five months at the earliest, and no later than eight months. If it moves according to its appointed course, then on earth there should be the recommendation of virtuous men, the rewarding of meritorious officials, the granting of titles of marquis by the sovereign, the distribution of wealth, and the implementation of relief and loans. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If Mars moves one chi per day, its decline should occur between five and fifteen months; if it moves five cun per day, its decline should occur between fifteen and twenty-five months; if it moves three cun per day, its decline should occur between twenty-five and thirty months; if it moves one cun per day, its decline should occur between thirty and fifty months. The number of months mentioned in the above statements can sometimes also be calculated in days.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑順行而其國有道。”又曰：“熒惑出東方，行順，即其國吉。”《尚書緯》曰：“氣在初夏，其紀熒惑，是謂發氣之陽，可以毀消金銅，與氣同光，使民備火，皆清室堂，是謂敬天之明，必勿行武，與季夏相輔、初是夏之時、衣赤、與季夏同期；如是則熒惑順利、甘雨時矣。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars moves in its normal course, that country is a country of virtue. It also says: When Mars appears in the east and moves in its normal course, that country will be auspicious. The *Shangshu Wei* says: When the seasonal climate reaches the beginning of summer, the dominant celestial influence is Mars. This is called promoting the yang energy, and its power is sufficient to melt bronze and copper. People should align themselves with this fiery energy, teaching the people to guard against fires and to clean their houses and halls thoroughly. This is called honoring the heavenly virtue. At this time, one must not engage in warfare and should harmonize with the month of late summer; in the early summer season, people should wear red clothes, aligning with the same seasonal rhythm as late summer. If this is done, Mars will move smoothly, and sweet rain will fall on time.

甘氏曰：“熒惑之相也，從立春至春之盡，其色則當精明，無角芒。”《甘氏占》曰：“熒惑之王也，從立夏以至夏之盡，其色如赤，則當比心大星而精明；仲夏之時，有芒角。”甘氏曰：“熒惑之休也，從仲夏以至夏之盡，及四季王時，其色則當無精明，黑、黃。”甘氏曰：“熒惑之囚也，從立秋以至秋之盡，其色則當青、白，止不行。”甘氏曰：“熒惑之死也，從立冬以至冬之盡，其色則當細小、黃、黑，而不明，此熒惑色之常也；其色和，經天下，和平。”

The planet Mars, according to the Five Phases, is associated with different states of strength, namely, Sovereign, Minister, Rest, Captivity, and Death. The Gan school says that when Mars is in the Minister position, it is from the Beginning of Spring to the end of spring, at which time its color should be pure and bright, without anypointed rays. The Gan School's Divination says that when Mars is in the Sovereign position, it is from the Beginning of Summer to the end of summer, at which time its color is red, as bright as the great star of the Heart Mansion; by midsummer, it should havepointed rays. The Gan school says that when Mars is in the Rest position, it is from midsummer to the end of summer, and during the time when the Earthly Branches of the four seasons are strong, at which time its color should be dim, tending towards black or yellow. The Gan school says that when Mars is in the Captivity position, it is from the Beginning of Autumn to the end of autumn, at which time its color should be green or white, and it should stop moving. The Gan school says that when Mars is in the Death position, it is from the Beginning of Winter to the end of winter, at which time its color should be small, yellow or black, and not bright. These are the normal colors of Mars. When Mars moves through the sky with harmonious colors, the world is peaceful.

甘氏曰：“當其相也，而有王色，所居之國受殃；有休色，讒臣誅國，相免；有囚色，國有捕囚，及於將相；有死色，大臣誅傷；其留守也，其國兵起；其進舍也，有蟲蝗，五穀傷；其退守也，赤地千里。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars is in the position of 'Xiang' (favorable), but shows the color of 'Wang' (sovereign), the country it affects will suffer calamity; if it shows the color of 'Xiu' (rest), it indicates that a treacherous minister will be executed and the prime minister will be dismissed; if it shows the color of 'Qiu' (captivity), there will be arrests and imprisonments within the country, even involving generals and ministers; if it shows the color of 'Si' (death), high officials will be executed or harmed. If Mars remains in this position, the country will engage in military action; if it moves forward to the next star cluster, there will be locust plagues and damage to the five grains; if it retreats backward, there will be vast areas of scorched land.

甘氏曰：“當其王也，而有相色，蔽主聰；有休色，政令不行；有囚色，讒臣用事，王路不通，有死色，則有大喪；其留守也，不可舉事、用兵；其進舍也，其國不祥；其退舍也，有旱殃。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars is in the position of 'king', but shows the color of 'minister', it indicates that someone is misleading the ruler's hearing; if it shows the color of 'rest', then government orders cannot be carried out; if it shows the color of 'captivity', then slanderous ministers will be in power, blocking the path to the royal court; if it shows the color of 'death', there will be a great mourning. At this time, if it remains stationary, great undertakings should not be initiated, and military actions should not be taken; if it moves forward to the next star cluster, the country will be unlucky; if it retreats to the previous star cluster, there will be drought.

甘氏曰：“當有休色，而有王色；所居之舍，其國受禍；有相色，國亂，百官不從；有囚色，有小兵；有死色，盜賊橫行，訛言，廟堂有火災，所居之舍，其國受殃；其進舍也，災傷；其退舍也，利舌危。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars appears in the color of the 'Rest' position but instead shows the color of the 'Ruler' position, the country corresponding to the star house it occupies will suffer calamity. If it appears in the color of the 'Minister' position, there will be domestic unrest and officials will not obey orders. If it appears in the color of the 'Captivity' position, there will be minor military conflicts. If it appears in the color of the 'Death' position, bandits will run rampant, false rumors will spread, fires will occur in the ancestral temples and court, and the country corresponding to the star house it occupies will suffer misfortune. If it moves forward to the next star house, it indicates disaster and injury. If it retreats back to the previous star house, it signifies disputes and dangers arising from words.

甘氏曰：“當其囚也，而有王色，大臣逃亡；有相色，臣下毀傷；有休色，使者冠蓋相望；有死色，白衣成行，丁男從，獨有老公，所守之舍，道路不通；其進舍也，兵殃；其退舍也，談言訩訩。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars is in the 'imprisoned' position, but shows the color of the 'sovereign', it indicates the escape of high officials; if it shows the color of the 'minister', it means officials are slandered and harmed; if it shows the color of 'rest', there will be continuous envoys, with carriages and caps and robes coming and going in succession; if it shows the color of 'death', there will be processions of white-clothed mourners, conscripts are summoned for military service, leaving only old men at home, and the roads in the area corresponding to the star it guards will be blocked. At this time, if it moves forward to the next star position, there will be military calamity; if it retreats to the previous star position, there will be much gossip and unrest.

甘氏曰：“當其死色而有王也，宗廟不享；有相色，大臣攝行；有休色，是謂不詳，宗廟失火，邊有侵地；有囚色，丁壯多死，以兵所留；舍其國，君遂亡；開其府庫，出其甲兵，四十餘日破亡；其進舍也，數多微風；其退舍也，流水蕩蕩。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars appears in the color of the 'death' position but instead shows the color of the 'sovereign' position, it indicates the discontinuation of ancestral temple sacrifices; if it shows the color of the 'minister' position, it signifies that ministers will take over the royal authority; if it shows the color of the 'rest' position, this is considered an omen of ill fortune, leading to fires in the ancestral temples and territorial losses on the borders; if it shows the color of the 'captivity' position, there will be a large number of deaths among young men, due to military campaigns being held up outside the country. When Mars stops at a particular star mansion, the ruler of the corresponding state will eventually perish; once the state opens its treasury and deploys its military forces, it will be ruined within more than forty days. If Mars moves forward to the next star mansion, it indicates frequent light winds; if it retreats to the previous mansion, there will be widespread flooding and overflowing waters.

甘氏曰：“候熒惑以夏，丙丁，此王氣，當如其常色，變則失所也。”郗萌曰：“熒惑色變，一見一伏，求之所，不可得，奎之目，辰之心，參之右肩，龍之左角，畢之右股，此五星也，類此色，即熒惑也。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色以畢右星為正；一曰比心中央星。”《推度災》曰：“熒惑黑圓，為水喪。”《春秋緯》曰：“主亂虛而侵殺，則熒惑光益大。”

The Gan school says: Observing the planet Mars (fluorescent planet) should be done in summer, on days of Bing and Ding. At this time, it is in its flourishing phase, and its color should be normal. If it changes, it indicates that it has lost its position. Xi Meng says: Mars often changes its color, appearing and disappearing suddenly. When trying to find it, it is hard to locate. In such cases, one can use several fixed stars for comparison: the star of the eye of the Kuixiu mansion, the central bright star of the Xinxu mansion (Heart mansion), the right shoulder star of the Canshu mansion, the left horn star of the Blue Dragon, and the right thigh star of the Bishu mansion. The colors of these five stars can serve as a standard. The color similar to them, red, is the true color of Mars. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The color of Mars should be compared with the star on the right side of the Bishu mansion. Another view says it should be compared with the central bright star of the Xinxu mansion. The "Pushing and Measuring Calamity" says: Mars appears black and round, indicating water disasters and funerals. The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When the ruler is corrupt and the inner state is empty, and there is infringement and warfare, the light of Mars becomes more intense.

甘氏曰：“熒惑色赤黃也、發疾；黑青、發難；黃若赤，一歲內發白色，期二年；青色、期三年；黑色、期四年至五年；以星行尺寸深淺，為廣大小期應。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑一赤一黃，王公有禍，士女降；候星若無光，先起兵者必敗。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars appears red and yellow, its effects occur quickly; when it appears black and dark blue, its effects take longer to manifest. If it appears yellow or red, the effect will occur within a year; if it appears white, the effect will occur in two years; if it appears blue, the effect will occur in three years; if it appears black, the effect will occur in four to five years. The size and speed of the effect should be determined by the distance and degree of the planet's movement and the depth of its color. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars suddenly appears red and yellow, it indicates that a prince or noble will suffer misfortune, and scholars and women will be humiliated and forced to wear mourning clothes. When observing the planet, if the starlight appears dim and lacks a bright edge, the side that initiates the military action will surely suffer defeat.

巫咸曰：“熒惑如炬火，亡人怒，君子洙洙，小人搶搶，不有亂臣，則有大喪；亡期其使，吏欺其主；使之不殺，哀孤恤寡，則止。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑色赤，國有憂；厚白、則國有憂；薄蒼，即天下多喪，其國尤甚。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Mars shines like a torch, indicating that those who are away from home harbor anger, and the virtuous are anxious and unsettled, while the petty people are in great haste and panic; either there will be a traitor or a great mourning; the downfall will manifest in the person sent by it, and officials deceive the sovereign. To prevent this omen from resulting in slaughter, one must show compassion to orphans and comfort widows, and the calamity will cease. The "Sea Divination" says: When Mars is red and bright, there will be sorrow in the country; when it is white and thick, there will also be sorrow in the country; when it is blue and thin, there will be many deaths throughout the land, and the country it affects will be especially severe.

郗萌曰：“熒惑之常色赤而黃，有喪期六十日。”又曰：“熒惑色赤光而澤也，期不出二年，兵喪並起。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出色黃，所居宿有土功事。”

Xi Meng said: The usual color of the planet Mars is reddish-yellow; if it deviates from this, there will be mourning events, expected within sixty days. He also said: When Mars appears with a red color and a moist glow, military conflicts and mourning events will occur within two years. Xi Meng also said: When Mars appears with a yellow color, there will be construction activities in the region corresponding to the star mansion it occupies.

郗萌曰：“熒惑夏三月出南方，色赤而逆行，乃有害萌，火光之妖且見；觀之有德，而降之以福；觀之逆德，而降之以禍；幾降禍，流水湯湯，乃為之祠於祝融及南海之神。

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars appears in the southern direction during the three summer months, appearing red and moving retrograde, thus the calamity begins to arise, and an evil omen of fire-like phenomena will appear. Heaven observes the ruler: those who conform to virtue will be granted blessings; those who violate virtue will be subjected to calamity. When the calamity is about to descend and great waters rush violently, one should then perform worship to the fire deity Zhu Rong and the god of the Southern Sea to avert the disaster.

春見，為之修德，賞有功，論有勞，遷有善，任有能；夏見，為之寬政令，薄賦斂，賜爵祿，行賞罰，視以佐陽德；大暑乃至，時雨乃行，百姓乃豐，五穀乃登，甘雨和風乃至，草木以明零落，民不夭疾，帝乃延壽，是謂德。秋見，為之修吉初，逐有罪，誅有過；冬見，為之開閉，大赦。此四者，所以應天之明神也。”

When the planet Mars appears in spring, one should clarify virtue and governance, reward those who have merited, evaluate those who have labored, promote the virtuous, and appoint the talented; in summer, one should relax regulations, reduce taxes, grant titles and salaries, and ensure clear rewards and punishments, using these measures to support Yang Virtue. If these are done, the heat of the Dog Days will arrive on time, timely rain will fall in accordance with the seasons, the people will be prosperous, the five grains will mature, gentle rain and favorable winds will follow, and grass and trees will wither and flourish in accordance with the seasons. The people will not suffer from early death or epidemics, and the sovereign will thus prolong his life. This is called having virtue. When Mars appears in autumn, one should promote good governance, expel the guilty, and punish the guilty; in winter, one should regulate the opening and closing of gates and issue great pardons. These four measures are all used to respond to the heavenly deities.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出，色赤怒，逆行為兵，成鉤以戰，凶有圍軍。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色大而盛，先起者亡，後起者晶。”《荊州占》曰：“勞惑色赤，為大兵，旱，秋有火災。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色變為黃，有德。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑秋出，色黃，兵而和。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色黃白，不出，其年喪起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars appears red like anger and moves retrograde, there will be military conflicts; if its path twists into a hook shape, there will be warfare, and the dangerous situation is when the army is surrounded. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars is bright red and strong, the side that initiates the war will suffer defeat, while the side that follows will prosper. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars turns yellow, there will be great military conflicts and drought, and in autumn there will be fires. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars appears yellow in autumn, although there may be military conflicts, they will eventually be resolved. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars appears yellow and white, there will be death within the same year.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色黑圜，為疾、為喪。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色白，為飢、為兵。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑春色赤，百姓有憂；冬色白，大臣多辱。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑白圜而光，其野病旱。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色變正白者，冬有喪；色變而赤者，秋有兵。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑失色，有兵從之，人主憂。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars appears black and round, it indicates plague and death. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars appears white, it indicates famine and warfare. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars is red in spring, the people suffer misfortune; when it is white in winter, ministers suffer humiliation. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars is white, round, and luminous, the region corresponding to it will experience disease and drought. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars turns completely white, there will be death in winter; when it turns bright red, there will be warfare in autumn. The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars loses its original color, warfare will follow, and the ruler will be anxious.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑黃而不明，即變其色，時不昌，春不生，夏不榮，秋不實，冬不藏；四時皆變其色，不出其年，君主有以女樂亡者。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑如炬火，有亂臣亡，期使吏欺其主，少勝長，下勝上，婦勝姑，子勝父，君令不行。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars appears yellow but is not bright, and then changes color, the climatic energies of the four seasons will not be harmonious—spring will not see growth, summer will not see flourishing of plants, autumn will not see fruiting, and winter will not see storage; if the planet changes color in all four seasons, the country will be ruined by the king's indulgence in music and women within the same year. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: If Mars shines brightly like a torch, it indicates the presence of rebellious ministers and the downfall of the state, and the time of occurrence will be when envoys and officials deceive the king; the young will surpass the old, the subordinate will surpass the superior, the daughter-in-law will surpass the mother-in-law, the son will surpass the father, and the king's commands will not be carried out.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色青圓，為水，為憂，為飢；一曰色青者多雨。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色蒼黑，蒼多黑少有喪，蒼少黑多有水，蒼黑喪水並起，皆期六十日，或三年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出而色正黑，所守國有水殃，期六十日。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet Mars appears red and round, indicating water disasters, worries and famine; another view says that if it appears dark blue, it indicates heavy rain. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars appears with a bluish-black color, if the bluish tone is more prominent and the black is less, there will be mourning events; if the black is more prominent and the bluish is less, there will be water disasters; if the bluish and black are balanced, both mourning events and water disasters will occur, and the predicted time is either sixty days or three years. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Mars appears with a pure black color, the country it is over will suffer from water disasters, and the predicted time is sixty days.

《詩緯》曰：“賢者退，小人進而讒言侈，陰賊行而天下昏，熒惑數出，干主位，赤而芒為火兵，黑而圓為水喪，止舍為其邦，疾則事急，留則殃重。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑主怒，則角擾動及繞圜之，若芒前後左右，主令無常，各以其類，亂虛而侵，殺則光為火。”

The Shijing Wei says: When virtuous people are excluded and retreat, while petty men rise up and slander prevails, sinister and cruel deeds become rampant and the world becomes chaotic, the planet Mars appears repeatedly, encroaching upon the king's star position. Its color is red with a芒, indicating fire disasters and military calamities; its color is black and round, indicating water disasters and funerals; wherever it stops, the corresponding state in that region will suffer; if it moves quickly, it indicates urgency; if it remains stationary, it indicates severe calamity. The Chunqiu Wei says: Mars represents anger, and when it is angry, it produces芒 and disturbs, moving in a circular path; if the芒 is present in front, behind, left, and right, it indicates the king's orders are inconsistent, and each category corresponds to the direction of the芒; when the state is corrupt and weak, and external enemies invade, once warfare occurs, its light becomes as fierce as fire.

甘氏曰：“熒惑色赤而芒角，其怒也；昭昭然明大，則軍戰，其國亦戰。”甘氏曰：“熒惑芒，名正旗；旗所指，破軍殺將，正旗而伐之，大勝。”郗萌曰：“熒惑環繞宿，其長戮，其同光死，其光若外附不同光，主出走。赤芒，南方國利之；白芒，西方國利之；黑芒，北方國利之；青芒，東方國利之；黃芒，中國利之。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars appears red with a bright and sharp芒, it indicates its anger; if it is bright, large, and shining, it signifies warfare, and the country corresponding to it will also be at war. The Gan school also says: The芒 of Mars is called 'Zhengqi', and the direction indicated by Zhengqi signifies the defeat of armies and the death of generals; if one attacks in the direction of Zhengqi, one will achieve a great victory. Xi Meng says: When Mars revolves around a certain star mansion, the official of that region will be executed; if the color of Mars matches the color of the star in that mansion, the person will die; if the light of Mars is floating outside and differs in color from the star, it indicates that the person will flee. If the芒 is red, it is favorable for the southern country; if white, favorable for the western country; if black, favorable for the northern country; if green, favorable for the eastern country; if yellow, favorable for the central country.

又占曰：“熒惑色正黑、多芒，所居之野有妖惑者。”司馬遷《天官書》曰：“熒惑白色，有哭泣之聲。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色正白，無芒，所居多有女喪；色正白而多芒，所居宿有男喪。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑始出，蒼，多芒，所居宿其國有妖而飢。”又占曰：“熒惑始出，色赤而芒，軍在外大戰，無軍起。”又占曰：“熒惑出色，黃多芒，所居宿，其國有憂主，期百二十日。”

Another divination passage states: When the planet Mars appears red with a dark black color and numerouspointed rays, there will be people spreading false words and causing confusion in the area it influences. Sima Qian's "Book of Celestial Officials" says: When Mars appears white, there will be mourning and crying. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars appears white without芒角, there will be many female deaths in the area it influences; when it appears white with numerous芒角, there will be many male deaths in the area it influences. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When Mars first appears with a bluish color and numerouspointed rays, the country corresponding to the star mansion it occupies will experience strange occurrences and famine. Another divination passage says: When Mars appears red withpointed rays, it indicates a major battle involving the army; if there is no army already, it will lead to the formation of an army. Another divination passage says: When Mars appears yellow with numerouspointed rays, the country corresponding to the star mansion it occupies will face troubles that trouble the ruler, and this should be expected within 120 days.

又占曰：“熒惑生芒，為主憂。”又占曰：“角則兵起。”又占曰：“熒惑成鉤已繞環，有芒角，如鋒刃，人主無出宮下殿，有伏兵。”又占曰：“熒惑角，則主怒。”又占曰：“熒惑出而有角，行疾用武，行遲用文。”又占曰：“熒惑色青而角，來年之春，草木五穀肅；一曰色青而角，有兵憂。”

Another divination says: When the planet Mars shines brightly, the sovereign will have worries. Another divination says: When Mars has horns, there will be military actions. Another divination says: When Mars moves in a curved path, forming a hook shape and encircling, with horns and sharp edges like a knife, the sovereign must not go out of the palace or descend from the throne, for there are hidden troops. Another divination says: When Mars has horns, the sovereign will be angry. Another divination says: When Mars appears with horns, if it moves quickly, there should be military action; if it moves slowly, there should be cultural development. Another divination says: When Mars is green and has horns, the grass and grain of the coming spring will wither and not grow; another interpretation says that green Mars with horns indicates worry about military affairs.

韓楊曰：“熒惑出列宿之南，為孽；出列宿之北，復入，為盈；逆，為縮；如是者，其下必有伏尸腐肉。”甘氏曰：“熒惑，政緩則不出，急則不入，違道則占。”《尚書緯》曰：“政失於夏，則熒惑逆行。”《什圖徵》曰：“聖王正律曆；不正，則熒惑出入無常，占為大凶。”

Han Yang said: When the planet Mars appears south of the constellations, it indicates calamities and monsters; when it appears north of the constellations and then returns, it is called "ying"; when it moves retrograde, it is called "suo". When these phenomena occur, the place it appears over will surely have corpses lying everywhere and rotting flesh scattered about. Gan Shi said: The response of Mars is such that if the government's decrees are slow, Mars should appear but does not; if the decrees are urgent, Mars should retreat but does not. Any deviation from the norm should be used for divination. The "Book of Documents: Wei" says: If the summer decrees are improper, Mars will move retrograde. The "Shi Tu Zheng" says: A wise king should correct the pitch and calendar; if the pitch and calendar are not correct, Mars will appear and disappear unpredictably, indicating a great misfortune.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑主有謀氣，事未施行，則見怡其妖祥，反道二舍以上，居之三月，有淫佚；五月，受夷狄之兵，王以讒言致非；祥七月半，亡地；九月大半，亡地；因與宿俱入、俱出，國絕祀。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑留其宿陰，四旬，太子死；三旬，重臣消。”《鉤命決》曰：“天子失義不德，則白虎不出，熒惑逆行。”

The Spring Annals Commentary states: The planet Mars indicates the qi of plots and schemes between people. Before the plans are carried out, strange omens appear. If Mars moves against the natural course and exceeds two star mansions, and stays for three months, it signifies there will be licentiousness; if it stays for five months, the country will suffer from military attacks by barbarians, and the king will cause mistakes by believing in slander; if it stays for seven and a half months, the country will lose its territory; if it stays for nine and a half months, it also signifies the loss of territory; if Mars disappears and appears together with the star mansion it is in, the state's ancestral worship will be cut off. The Literary Bright Hook states: If Mars lingers north of its dwelling star mansion for forty days, the crown prince will die; for thirty days, the chief ministers will perish. The Hook of Destiny states: When the emperor loses righteousness and virtue, the auspicious omen of the White Tiger does not appear, and Mars will moveretrograde.

石氏曰：“其國失禮，失夏政，則熒惑逆行。熒惑所留久也，三年而發，亡五百里；其中也，三百里；其殺也，四百里。居其陰，萬家邑，拔；千家邑，驅掠。居其陽，成家邑，驅掠；千家邑，拔。遠去而復還居之，甚憂，隘其從陰之陽，亡地三百里；（《荊州占》二百里。）從陽之陰，亡地二百里；（《荊州占》百里三百里。）從前之後，亡地二百里；從後之前，凶地三百里留。

The Shi school says: When a country's rites are in disarray and its summer policies are improper, the planet Mars will retrograde. If Mars remains in a constellation for a long time, after three years it will cause calamity, resulting in the loss of land measuring five hundred li. If it merely occupies the central position of the constellation, the loss will be three hundred li. If it forms an image of warfare, the loss will be four hundred li. If Mars is located to the north of the constellation, a city with ten thousand households will be captured, and a city with a thousand households will be plundered. If Mars is located to the south of the constellation, a large city will be plundered, and a city with a thousand households will be captured. If Mars departs far away and then returns to stay in the constellation, the calamity will be extreme and the situation will be desperate. If Mars moves from the north to the south, the loss of land will be three hundred li (note from the original text: The "Jingzhou Divination" says two hundred li). If it moves from the south to the north, the loss of land will be two hundred li (note from the original text: The "Jingzhou Divination" says one hundred li or three hundred li). If it moves from the front to the back, the loss of land will be two hundred li. If it moves from the back to the front, the danger will extend to areas within three hundred li where Mars is lingering.

其前六日不從，主首子死；留其陰旬二日，嬖人死；留其前一月，季子死；（《荊州占》太子死。）留其後二月，（《荊州占》二日。）不從，王后死，（《荊州占》季子死。）留其後，二旬，相死；留其陰五月，（《荊州占》一日。）上卿死，（《荊州占》王后死。）其前二旬，（《荊州占》一日。）太子死。”

It stops six days before the designated star without following, indicating the death of the ruler's eldest son; if it remains staying to the north of that mansion twelve days, it signifies the death of the favored attendant; if it stays for a month before the designated star, it indicates the death of the youngest son (note: the original text notes that the "Jingzhou Divination" says "prince"); if it remains two months after the designated star without following, it indicates the death of the queen consort (note: the original text notes that the "Jingzhou Divination" says "youngest son"); if it stays twenty days after the designated star, it indicates the death of the state chancellor; if it remains five months north of the designated star (note: the original text notes that the "Jingzhou Divination" says "one day"), it indicates the death of the top minister (note: the original text notes that the "Jingzhou Divination" says "queen consort"); if it stays twenty days before the designated star (note: the original text notes that the "Jingzhou Divination" says "one day"), it indicates the death of the crown prince.

巫咸曰：“熒惑出東方若西方，留遲者，天崇也；強國之王死之。”又曰：“留一月以上，為憂、為喪、為飢、為兵。熒惑之行東西南北，名曰失行，主用事者必且失其位，使之不然，殺不孝者以當失行，如此則止。

Wu Xian said: If the planet Mars appears in the east or the west and remains stationary without moving forward, this is heaven's warning of great importance; the king of a powerful state will die because of it. He also said: If it remains stationary for more than a month, it indicates calamity, death, famine, and war. If Mars moves erratically, sometimes east, sometimes west, sometimes south, sometimes north, this is called 'losing its path'; the person in power will certainly lose his position. To prevent this, one must execute the unfilial to counteract the loss of path, and only then will the calamity cease.

熒惑東行疾，名曰狡；狡者止，相且死。西行疾，名曰猶；猶者起，且有死將。南行疾，名曰讒；（《荊州占》曰：變其常，南行客三舍，名曰讒。）讒且有男喪。北行疾，名曰賊；賊且有女喪。熒惑靜居，不行，名曰營；且有殃。熒惑南去列宿間，客三舍，期百二十日；倍之，君不治，政在臣下使之然，不然，遷；不治復冤，冤止奸詐，如此則止。”

The planet Mars moves east quickly, called "jiao"; once the jiao phenomenon stops, the prime minister will die. If Mars moves west quickly, called "you"; when the you phenomenon appears, there will be the death of a general. If Mars moves south quickly, called "chan" (as noted in the commentary from the Jiangzhou Divination: changing the usual course and moving south across three star regions is called chan); when the chan phenomenon appears, there will be the death of a man. If Mars moves north quickly, called "ze"; when the ze phenomenon appears, there will be the death of a woman. If Mars remains stationary, called "ying"; when the ying phenomenon appears, there will be calamity. If Mars moves south away from its position, crossing into the constellations and passing over three star regions, the predicted time is 120 days; if it doubles that distance, it indicates the king neglects governance and power shifts to ministers, otherwise there will be migration. If governance is neglected, grievances will reappear; only by resolving grievances and stopping deceit can calamities be stopped.

京房《妖占》曰：“君多虛飾，則熒惑失道。”郗萌曰：“主行重賦斂，奪民時，大宮室，高臺榭事；則熒惑逆行，霜露肅殺五穀，民多病溫疫，擾軫。熒惑從北往南，是謂持水入於火，不出三年，國有大喪亂，兵起南方；熒惑妄行，一東、一西、一南、一北，主有吉凶；赤為兵，白為喪，黃為喜，青為憂，黑為水。”

Jing Fang's "Yao Zhan" says: If the ruler is full of empty words and superficiality, the planet Mars will lose its normal course. Xi Meng says: If the ruler imposes heavy taxes and levies forcefully, taking away the people's farming time, and extensively builds palaces and constructs high pavilions, then Mars will moveretrograde, causing frost and cold to destroy the crops, and the people will suffer from many diseases. The people's hearts will be disturbed and sorrowful. When Mars moves from the north to the south, this is called "holding water into fire." Within three years, there will be great mourning and chaos in the country, and military conflicts will arise from the south. When Mars moves erratically, sometimes east and west, sometimes south and north, there will be both good and bad events in the human world. When it is red, it signifies war; when white, it signifies mourning; when yellow, it signifies joy; when green, it signifies worry; and when black, it signifies flood disasters.

《元命包》曰：“妾為妻，支為嗣，精感類應，則熒惑逆行變怪。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行變色，人主簡宗廟，去禱祠，廢祭祀，逆天時，變妾為妻。熒惑逆行變色，為棄法律，殺太子，逐功臣。熒惑出而逆行變色，以內淫亂，犯親戚。熒惑而逆留守宿者，所主貨物皆貴。熒惑以庚辛日留，天下有大喪，有兵。”班固《天文志》曰：“熒惑所守，為亂、賊、喪、兵，守之久，其國絕嗣。”

The Yuan Ming Bao says: taking a concubine as a wife and a collateral branch as the legitimate heir, the vital energy and qi respond, like similar things corresponding to each other. The planet Mars (荧惑) movesretrograde and shows strange phenomena. Xi Meng says: when the planet Mars movesretrograde and changes color, it indicates the ruler is negligent toward the ancestral temple, abandoning worship and stopping sacrifices, violating the heavenly timing, and promoting a concubine to the position of wife. When the planet Mars movesretrograde and changes color, it signifies the abandonment of laws, the killing of the crown prince, and the expulsion of meritorious ministers. When the planet Mars appears and movesretrograde and changes color, it indicates disorder within the palace, and infringement upon relatives. When the planet Mars movesretrograde and remains in a certain star mansion, the goods governed by that star mansion will all rise in price. When the planet Mars stays in the days of Geng or Xin, there will be great mourning and military affairs. Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records" says: wherever the planet Mars stays, there will be turmoil, bandits, loss of life, and military calamities. If it stays for a long time, the country will lose its descendants.

《荊州占》曰：“王者不順禮遺德，不求賢舉隱，驕慢自恣，不順五常，耽於女色，妻妾為政，邪臣在位，殺戮無辜，陵弱暴強，星則為之逆行；出不以時，變為妖彗，蚩尤之旗，格澤之氣，起兵大戰，主死將亡，伏尸流血；王者行禮，起宗廟，禮山川，存孤恤寡，薄賦輕徭，星順度；可以除咎。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the king does not follow propriety, discards virtue, does not seek out the virtuous, does not promote the reclusive scholars, is arrogant and indulgent, acts without restraint, does not follow the five constants, is addicted to women, allows his concubines to interfere in government affairs, and allows wicked ministers to hold high positions, killing the innocent, bullying the weak, and being tyrannical and violent, then the planet Mars will retrograde for this reason. It will appear and disappear out of season, and strange phenomena such as "Chizhou's banner" and "Geze" will appear. Then wars will break out, the king will die, generals will perish, and there will be a great number of corpses and bloodshed. Conversely, if the king practices propriety, builds ancestral temples, and offers sacrifices to mountains and rivers according to ritual, cares for orphans, shows compassion to widows, and reduces taxes and labor service, then Mars will move in an orderly manner, and this will be sufficient to eliminate calamities.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑變色、失行，所留者亡，所抵者兵。熒惑逆行變色，人君宰相之治，推擇不以德賢，聖隱蔽，而不肖者進；遠忠臣而近讒諛；一曰人君宰相之治，驕恣不從五行，妻不政，賢者伏匿，讒臣亂治，逐功臣，誅不辜，即熒惑逆行變色。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars changes color and deviates from its path, the region it stays over will suffer ruin, and the region it confronts will face military conflict. If Mars moves retrograde and changes color, it is because the sovereign and prime minister govern without selecting officials based on virtue and ability, causing the sages and virtuous to be hidden and obscured while the unvirtuous are promoted. They also distance themselves from loyal ministers and draw near to flatterers and sycophants. Another interpretation suggests that the sovereign and prime minister govern with arrogance and indulgence, not following the order of the Five Phases. The queen consort interferes improperly in politics, virtuous people remain hidden, corrupt ministers disrupt governance, capable ministers are expelled, and the innocent are executed. Thus, Mars moves retrograde and changes color.

熒惑變其常，東行客三舍，名曰縮星，縮星出，有死相。熒惑交其常，東行客三舍，名曰馳星，馳星出，有死將。（韓楊曰：東行疾，名曰馳星，有死將。）熒惑變其常，南行客三舍，名曰賊星，賊星出賊，將起；又為旱。熒惑逆行，色赤而怒，有兵。

The planet Mars deviates from its usual path and moves eastward across three star stations, which is called "Shuo Star"; when Shuo Star appears, there will be the death of a state minister. The planet Mars deviates from its usual path and moves eastward across three star stations, which is called "Chi Star"; when Chi Star appears, there will be the death of a general (note from the original text: Han Yang said that moving eastward quickly is called Chi Star, indicating the death of a general in battle). The planet Mars deviates from its usual path and moves southward across three star stations, which is called "Zei Star"; when Zei Star appears, bandits will rise up, and it also indicates a drought. When Mars moves retrograde, appearing red like anger, it indicates military conflict.

熒惑逆行，環繞屈曲，成鉤已，至三舍；名山崩、大川竭，若守之三日不下，其分國凶，有大喪。熒惑逆行至五舍，大臣謀反諸侯王也。熒惑逆行，必有破軍死將，國君若寄生；又曰夷將為王，敢誅者昌，不敢誅者亡；當此之時，趣立九候，置三王，取與必當，無逆天殃。

The planet Mars moves retrograde, winding around in a curved path forming the shape of a hook, and retreats straight for three star regions; this indicates the collapse of famous mountains and the drying up of great rivers. If it remains there for three days without leaving, the country corresponding to that region will suffer calamity and great loss. When Mars retrogrades and retreats through five star regions, it signifies that ministers and dukes will conspire against the king. When Mars retrogrades, there will certainly be the defeat of armies and the death of generals, and the king will barely survive. Another interpretation suggests that a person from the northern frontier will become king, and the side that dares to attack will flourish, while the side that dares not attack will perish. At this time, one must quickly appoint nine feudal lords and establish three kings, ensuring that rewards and punishments are properly administered, so as not to defy heavenly will and invite disaster.

熒惑當出不出，天下有兵，民流亡；當入不入，所在其國有殃。熒惑往來疾者，期不過九十日；遲者，不過三年；熒惑留二十日乃占；熒惑不動，兵不戰，有誅將。熒惑逆行二舍半，有火災；一曰有女喪；一曰為大水。熒惑、太白，東西南北行之，而復居其處，天下為四國謀者，其行也，同時馳。

If the planet Mars (荧惑) should appear but does not, there will be military conflicts and people will flee; if it should disappear but does not, the country corresponding to its position will suffer calamity. If Mars moves quickly, the predicted event will occur within ninety days; if it moves slowly, within three years. Mars can only be used for divination after it has remained stationary for twenty days. If Mars stops moving, even if two armies do not fight, there will be generals executed. If Mars retrogrades through two constellations and a half, there will be a fire; another interpretation says there will be the death of a woman; yet another says there will be a great flood. If Mars and the planet Venus (太白) move together in the directions of east, west, south, and north, and then return to their original positions, it indicates that there will be people who plan strategies for the four directions. When they move, they both move quickly.

熒惑出東方，其行順；則其國不凶，其逆行一舍，其國有兵，戰破，亡地，其色悴小，其國君有憂。熒惑行失度，而妄出宿間，天下作兵；熒惑東，則兵東；西，則兵西；南，則兵南；北則兵北。熒惑東西害侯王、一南一北為死喪。熒惑失行西北，是謂水，利於火，有兵兵罷，天下大旱；存孤老，廩鰥寡，天下並並附，則熒惑順度。熒惑春夏而失道南行，疾；為旱、為兵，在陽國；秋冬而失道北行，疾；為火入水，必有破軍殺將。”

The planet Mars appears in the east and moves smoothly, and the country will not suffer misfortune; if it retrogrades by one star mansion, the country will have military conflict, suffer defeat, and lose territory; if its color is pale and small, the king will have worries. If Mars moves irregularly, wandering unpredictably among the star mansions, there will be war throughout the land; if Mars deviates to the east, warfare will occur in the east; if it deviates to the west, warfare will occur in the west; if it deviates to the south, warfare will occur in the south; if it deviates to the north, warfare will occur in the north. If Mars fluctuates between east and west, it will harm the princes and kings; if it fluctuates between south and north, it will lead to death and mourning. If Mars strays to the northwest, this is called water, and it will be beneficial to the fire element; even if there is war, it will end, but there will be a great drought; at this time, if the ruler cares for orphans and the elderly, and provides relief to the widowed and the single, the people will flock to him, and Mars will return to its proper course. If Mars goes astray in spring or summer and moves southward quickly, it indicates drought and warfare, which will affect the southern yang country; if it goes astray in autumn or winter and moves northward quickly, this is called fire entering water, and there will certainly be the defeat of armies and the death of generals.

甘氏曰：“熒惑出入、進、退以戰；背之大勝，迎之大敗。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑順宿南行疾，有男喪。”又曰：“讒人將起。因宿北行疾，有女喪，賊將起。

The Gan school says: When the planet Mars appears and disappears, advances and retreats, if you attack in the direction opposite to it, you will achieve a great victory; if you attack in the direction it faces, you will suffer a great defeat. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars moves southward along the star mansions quickly, it indicates the death of a male. It also says: it signifies that a person who spreads slander will gain power. When Mars moves northward along the star mansions quickly, it indicates the death of a female and the rise of bandits.

熒惑正乘列舍，守之十日以上，其分內亂；二十日以上，相走；六十日主死；九十日殃及子孫。熒惑止留，三日以上，國則憂，相不死出走；十日以上，主大憂；一月至三月，三月至六月，殃及子孫。去之丈、傷五穀；去之七尺，傷人民；去之四五尺，傷吏；去之二三尺，傷卿相；去之一尺；傷主。

If the planet Mars is directly over a certain star mansion and remains there for more than ten days, disorder will arise within the corresponding region. If it stays for more than twenty days, the prime minister will flee. If it remains for sixty days, the sovereign will die. If it stays for ninety days, calamity will extend to the sovereign's descendants. If Mars stops and remains for more than three days, there will be troubles in the country, and the prime minister will either die or flee. If it stays for more than ten days, the sovereign will face great worries. If it stays for one to three months, or three to six months, calamity will extend to the sovereign's descendants. If Mars is at a distance of one zhang from the star it is guarding, it will harm the grain crops. If it is seven chi away, it will harm the common people. If it is four or five chi away, it will harm the officials. If it is two or three chi away, it will harm the ministers and prime ministers. If it is only one chi away, it will harm the sovereign himself.

熒惑出西方若東方，甚疾，至宿留二十日以上，及為留即去之；若復反其所留之宿，其君當之。”（《海中占》曰：國君死。）之所宿者，天子惡之；四孟之月，侯王受之；四仲之月，大臣受之；四季之月，小臣受之。

If the planet Mars appears in the west or east and moves very quickly, arriving at a certain star mansion and staying there for more than twenty days, then once it forms a lingering appearance, it departs. If it later returns to the same star mansion where it lingered before, the ruler of the corresponding region will suffer this calamity. According to the commentary from "Sea of Divination," the king will die. The region corresponding to where Mars stops will be ominous for the Son of Heaven. If it occurs in the first month, fourth month, seventh month, or tenth month, the Duke or Marquis will bear the calamity. If it occurs in the second, fifth, eighth, or eleventh month, the ministers will bear it. If it occurs in the third, sixth, ninth, or twelfth month, the lesser officials will bear it.

熒惑順行，留守宿二十日以上，與逆行不滿十日等；順行留守三十日以上，與逆行留守宿十五日等；順行留守宿四十日，與逆行留守宿二十日等，順行留守百日，與逆行五十日等；熒惑所守，其國宰相死。

If the planet Mars moves in its normal direction and remains in a position for more than twenty days, its effect is equivalent to Mars moving in the opposite direction and remaining for less than ten days. If Mars moves normally and stays for more than thirty days, its effect is equivalent to Mars moving in the opposite direction and staying for fifteen days. If Mars stays for forty days, it is equivalent to Mars staying for twenty days in the opposite direction. If Mars stays for one hundred days, it is equivalent to Mars staying for fifty days in the opposite direction. In summary, the region of the sky that Mars is stationed over will experience the death of the country's prime minister.

熒惑與宿星舍守之，其國大人死，守之久五年而發者，亡地五百里；期二年而發者，亡地二百里；期一年而發者，亡地百里。熒惑所守之分，其國凶；守之速，殃小；守之久，殃大；去而復還守之，或前、或後、或左、或右，殃殊重，不可救；國破，主死，流血城市。

If the planet Mars (荧惑) resides in the same mansion (星宿) as another star and remains there guarding it, the great person of that country will die. If it guards for a long time, the disaster will occur five years later, causing the loss of land for five hundred li. If it occurs within two years, the loss will be two hundred li. If it occurs within one year, the loss will be one hundred li. When Mars guards the mansion corresponding to a country's territory, that country will suffer misfortune. If the guarding is brief, the calamity will be minor; if it is prolonged, the calamity will be severe. If Mars leaves and then returns to guard again, either before or after, on the left or the right, the calamity will be especially grave and cannot be averted. The country will collapse, the ruler will die, and blood will flow through the city and streets.

熒惑逆行守星者，為飢；（即其年早飢也。）復還順行，黃色而至，糴為反賤。”韓楊曰：“熒惑東西南北疾，謀用戰，順之勝，逆之敗。”《漢天文志》曰：“熒惑順宿東行疾，則兵聚於東方；西行疾，則兵聚於西方。”

If the planet Mars movesretrograde and stays near a certain star, it indicates famine (original note: famine occurs early in the year). If it then turns back to normal motion and appears yellow, grain prices will decrease. Han Yang said: when Mars moves quickly in the directions of east, west, south, or north, if you plan military campaigns in the direction it is moving, you will win; if you go against its direction, you will lose. The Book of Han, Records of Astronomy says: when Mars moves eastward along the star mansions quickly, armies gather in the east; when it moves westward quickly, armies gather in the west.

韓楊曰：“熒惑乍東乍西，受者國大憂；居之久者，三歲；中、二歲；近、一歲，殃至。熒惑逆而西行，則不殺；為王敢誅者昌；不敢誅者亡。當此之時，趣立九侯，置三王，取與必當，無逆天殃。熒惑出於北方，不出其年，起兵；熒惑還北方，其兵不還，有憂。熒惑春出南方，有喪；不然，當小旱飢。熒惑春出於南方，群君不憂。

Han Yang said: If the planet Mars moves erratically from east to west, the country that experiences this celestial phenomenon will face great calamity. If Mars stays for a long time, disaster will arrive within three years; if it stays for a medium period, disaster will arrive within two years; if it stays for a short time, disaster will arrive within one year. If Mars moves westward in reverse, there will be no warfare. The country that dares to wage war as a ruler will flourish, while the country that does not dare to wage war will perish. At this time, it is essential to quickly enfeoff nine princes and establish three kings, and to bestow or take away power appropriately, so as not to defy the will of heaven and invite disaster. If Mars appears in the north, the country will have to go to war within the same year. If Mars returns to the north, the army on campaign will not return, and the ruler will face worries. If Mars appears in the south during spring, there will be mourning; otherwise, there will be minor drought and famine. However, if Mars appears in the south during spring, the princes will not need to worry.

熒惑凡行二十八宿，已去復還反，其國君死之；熒惑正乘其國之宿，星留三日，以戰，大將死；留五日，君破亡地；留十日，其君死，國無兵。而熒惑正乘其宿，星留十日，內亂起，絕宿；星從南之北，從北之南，其國貧；一曰所居久者，其野有兵。”

The planet Mars travels through the Twenty-Eight Mansions. If it departs and then returns, the ruler of the corresponding region will die. If Mars is directly positioned over a mansion belonging to a country and remains there for three days, there will be the death of a general in battle; if it remains for five days, the ruler will lose territory; if it remains for ten days, the ruler will die and the country will have no soldiers left. If Mars is directly positioned over a mansion and remains there for ten days, internal disorder will arise and the ancestral temple will be destroyed. If Mars moves from south to north and then from north to south through the mansions, the country will become impoverished; another interpretation is that if Mars stays for a long time, there will be military conflict in that region.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑所居久者，其野有兵；入其星三日，其野有憂；過三日，其憂大。”韓楊曰：“熒惑常行，其留不行從宿居，入宿又守之，其國當舉兵戰鬥，殺將亂事，家室破殘，父子相扶於流亡；又曰熒惑行絕道，正乘宿，留二十日以上至五十日，破軍殺將。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars stays in a certain region for a long time, there will be military conflicts in that region. If Mars enters a certain star and stays there for three days, there will be worries in that region. If it stays more than three days, the worries will be greater. Han Yang says: When Mars normally moves along its path, if it suddenly stops and stays in a certain star, entering it and remaining there without moving, the country will soon engage in warfare, kill its generals, and experience great disorder in its government. Families will be destroyed, and father and son will have to support each other in fleeing. It also says: When Mars moves across the sky and blocks the usual path, directly pressing on a certain star, and stays there for more than twenty days up to fifty days, it indicates that the army will be defeated and the generals will be killed.

熒惑之行無常，東行守宿十日為留，其環所久宿者，殃其國，宰相死。熒惑東行四十日，行三舍以上，謹守其反日；不行日；數之百八十日，女孽出。”班固《天文志》曰：“熒惑逆行一舍、二舍；為不祥。”韓楊曰：“熒惑西行，行三舍以上，謹守其反日，數之百八十日，兵起，不然天妖出。”韓楊曰：“熒惑逆行而留，其國逆凶；順行而留，其國順凶。”石氏曰：“熒惑逆行，還復故道，名曰燒跡，其災重。”

The planet Mars does not follow a fixed path; when it moves eastward and stays for ten days in a particular star mansion, it is called 'stagnation'. If Mars circles around and remains in a particular star mansion for a long time, calamity will befall that country and the prime minister will die. If Mars moves eastward for forty days and passes over three star mansions, one must carefully record the day it turns back and the day it stops moving. Counting from that day, if it reaches one hundred and eighty days, there will be a female demon causing chaos. Ban Gu's 'Astronomical Records' states: if Mars moves westward and passes over one or two star mansions, it indicates ill omens. Han Yang says: if Mars moves westward and passes over three star mansions, one must carefully record the day it turns back. Counting from that day, if it reaches one hundred and eighty days, military conflicts will arise; otherwise, there will be strange celestial phenomena. Han Yang also says: if Mars moves westward and then stagnates, the country's misfortune comes from rebellion; if it moves eastward and then stagnates, the country's misfortune comes from following old ways. The Shi school says: if Mars moves westward and then returns to its original path, this is called 'burning the trail', and the disaster it brings is especially severe.

甘氏曰：“熒惑書見，臣謀主。”韓楊曰：“熒惑出西方而逆行，是為反明，天下更王，國憂，受者亡；其南若北，為死喪；南為丈夫，北為女子。”《洛書》曰：“熒惑反明，邦命更王。熒惑反明，相掠所滅。熒惑反明，不言紀更。”《尚書緯》曰：“熒惑反明，白帝亡。”

"Zhoujian" means visible during the day, and "Fanming" refers to the planet appearing in the west instead of the east at dawn. The Gan school says: if the planet appears during the day (the original text mistakenly says "shu"), it indicates ministers plotting against the sovereign. Han Yang says: when the planet appears in the west and moves retrograde, this is called "Fanming," indicating a change of sovereign, national calamity, and the defeat of the country that bears this omen; if it deviates south or north, it signifies death and mourning—deviation to the south indicates death of a male, deviation to the north indicates death of a female. The Luo Writing says: when the planet appears in reverse, the country will change its sovereign. When the planet appears in reverse, there will be mutual plundering leading to destruction. When the planet appears in reverse, the era will change without announcement. The "Shangshu Wei" says: when the planet appears in reverse, the Western White Emperor lineage will perish.

《春秋緯》曰：“赤帝之世，有過則熒惑出，冠守、見萌以淫亂，失時則反明；有此類，則亡引也。”《文耀鉤》曰：“熒惑反明，主以悖更殘物之過亡，天下更紀，易其主。”（《元命包》曰：“殷紂無道，熒惑反明。”宋均注曰：反出西方也。）《天官書》曰：“熒惑反明，主命惡之。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑反明，怒氣結。”

The Spring Annals Commentary says: In the era when the Red Emperor was in charge, if the ruler made mistakes, the planet Mars would appear, surpassing the crown and guarding the position, revealing signs due to licentiousness; if it lost the proper sequence, it would appear as a bright star. Such celestial phenomena would provide an excuse for the downfall. The Literary Brightness Hook says: When Mars appears as a bright star, it indicates the ruler's failure to govern properly, causing harm to all things, leading to his downfall and a change in the era and ruler. The original commentary notes: The Yuan Ming Bao says "King Zhou of Yin was unjust, and Mars appeared as a bright star," and Song Jun explains that appearing as a bright star means it appears reversed in the west. The Star Official Book says: When Mars appears as a bright star, it is most ominous for the ruler's fate. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Mars appears as a bright star, it is caused by accumulated anger and resentment.

韓楊曰：“熒惑所止舍而數之七舍，而數為日七月，而入於西方；伏行五舍，為日五日，而得出於東方，其反出西方，是謂反明；天下更政，所宿其國伐。熒惑入西方，反出為反明；天下更王。熒惑有三反明，三吐舌；以威咎殺太子，以妾為妻。”京氏曰：“禮經不用，熒惑反明。”

Han Yang said: Starting from the star chamber where the planet Mars stops, count seven star chambers, which corresponds to seven months, and it will disappear into the west; if it hides and moves through five star chambers, which corresponds to five days, it will reappear in the east. If it appears from the west instead, this is called reverse brightness, indicating a change of government, and the country where it stays will be attacked. If Mars disappears into the west and then comes out from the west again, this is also reverse brightness, indicating a change of ruler. There are three forms of reverse brightness and three forms of tongue-like appearance, which indicate the monarch will punish the crown prince with severe punishment and promote a concubine to the position of wife. Jing Shi said: When the rites are abandoned, Mars will show reverse brightness.

《龍魚河圖》曰：“夫熒惑主司非，其精下為風伯之神。”巫咸曰：“熒惑下為童男，止於都市。”（《搜神紀》曰：“吳地草創之，信不堅固，邊屯守將質其兩女子，名曰保質。童子少年以類相與嬉遊者，日有十數。鳳皇三年三月、有一異兒、長四尺餘，年可六七歲，衣青，未從群嬉，諸兒莫之哀也；皆問‘爾誰家兒，今日忽來？’答曰：‘見爾群嬉樂，故來耳。’詳而視之，眼有光芒，焰焰若火，諸兒畏之，重問其故，兒乃答曰：‘爾惡我乎，我乃熒惑星也，將有一言告爾，天下歸司馬氏。’

The Longyu He Tu says: The planet Mars governs observation and discernment of right and wrong; its vital energy descending to earth becomes the deity of the wind. Wu Xian says: When Mars descends to the human world, it takes the form of a male child, and stays in the city. The following is a note from the original text, citing the Shoushen Ji: When the state of Sun Wu was established, people's faith and righteousness were not yet firm, and the garrison commanders in the border areas had to send two daughters as hostages, called "bao zhi." They would play with the children and youths who accompanied them, and every day there were dozens of them. In the third year of the Phoenix era of the last emperor of Wu, there was a strange child, over four feet tall, looking about six or seven years old, wearing blue clothes, who did not join the group of children playing, and the other children did not care for him. They asked him: "Who are you, why have you come suddenly today?" He replied: "I saw you playing and enjoying yourselves, so I came." Upon careful observation, his eyes shone with a bright light, like fire. The children were afraid of him, and repeatedly asked the reason. The child then said: "Do you dislike me? I am the planet Mars. I have a message to tell you: the world will belong to the Sima family."

諸兒大驚，或走告大人，馳往觀之：兒曰：‘爾舍去乎。’竦身而躍，即已化矣。仰而視之，若引匹練以登天，大人來有備及見馬，飄飄漸高；有頃而沒。時吳政峻急，莫敢害也。後五年而蜀亡，六年而晉興，至是而吳滅於司馬氏矣。”一書云：“熒惑卒不見，下地為人、衣韋衣、若白衣，乃使民多妖言。”）

The children were greatly surprised, and someone ran to tell the adults, who hurriedly came to watch. The child said, "Please step back." He then leaped up, and immediately transformed and disappeared. Looking up, it seemed as if he was dragging a white ribbon straight up into the blue sky. When the adults arrived, they still had time to see him floating upward, higher and higher, and in a short while he vanished. At that time, the state of Wu had strict and urgent laws, so no one dared to harm him. Later, five years after the fall of Shu Han, the Jin dynasty rose to power. Eventually, Wu was indeed destroyed by the Sima clan. The original book's marginal notes also cite another source, which says that the planet Mars suddenly disappeared, meaning it had descended to the earth and took human form, wearing leather clothing or white clothes, thus causing the people to spread false rumors.

京房《對災異》曰：“熒惑作變，為華州人君之禍也。弟於東，骨肉慾，暮近北，邊國謀入；於西，則兵大起，蠻貊戰；入斗，則大臣叛；住東西，萬民病，不救之，則致日食，既下謀上；其救也，設七政、爭正圖書；修經術，改惡為善；則安矣。”《運斗樞》曰：“人君政亂，朝多讒臣，則熒惑吐舌。”

Jing Fang's "Discourse on Catastrophes and Anomalies" says: When the planet Mars changes its position, it indicates calamity for the rulers of the various states of the Huaxia. If it appears low in the east, it signifies that the ruler's relatives have improper desires; if it approaches the north in the evening, it indicates that the border states intend to invade; if it appears in the west, there will be great military conflicts and barbarian attacks; if it enters the Big Dipper, there will be rebellion among the ministers; if it stops between the east and the west, the common people will fall ill. If no measures are taken to remedy this, it will lead to an eclipse of the sun, which indicates that those below are plotting against those above. The remedy is to properly observe the sun, moon, and five planets, to correct the official records and scriptures, to study the classics, and to change evil ways into good ones, thus achieving peace. The "Yun Dou Shu" says: When the ruler's governance is confused and there are many slanderous ministers in court, Mars will appear with a tongue.

京氏曰：“人君無禮法，輕薄房室，外行慢易遇下，不理賦斂，奪民時；則熒惑失度，吐舌為度，逆度作怪，以誡人君；不救則大旱，中火燔宮殿；其救也，追功、祿爵，位賢德，養幼孤，廩鰥寡；則熒惑還度，天心得矣。”韓楊曰：“熒惑吐舌，狀如星也；其舌上，則主憂，下則民愁。”《運斗樞》曰：“陽越度，陰失符，則熒惑生足。”（宋均曰：陽、君也、陰、臣也。）石氏曰：“熒惑生足，故主殃；新主易。”

The Jing school says: If the sovereign does not abide by propriety and law, treats the inner family affairs carelessly, is arrogant and neglectful towards his ministers, does not regulate taxation and levies, encroaches upon the peasants' farming time, then the planet Mars will move out of its proper course, appearing in the form of a tongue, violating the norm and producing strange phenomena, to warn the sovereign. If no corrective measures are taken, there will be a great drought, and there will also be fires that destroy palaces. The method of correction is: to recall meritorious officials, bestow salaries and titles, appoint virtuous people to positions, care for orphans and infants, and provide relief to widowers and widows; in this way, the planet Mars will return to its normal course, thus aligning with the will of Heaven. Han Yang says: When the planet Mars has a tongue, the shape of the tongue-like vapor resembles star rays; if the tongue points upward, it indicates the sovereign will have worries; if it points downward, it indicates the people will suffer hardship. The Yundoushu says: When Yang exceeds the limits, and Yin loses its sign, the planet Mars will produce a 'foot'. The original commentary cites Song Jun as saying: Yang refers to the sovereign, and Yin refers to the ministers. The Shi school says: When the planet Mars produces a foot, it signifies calamity, and a new sovereign will be established.

巫咸曰：“熒惑大而赤，東西南北行，非常也；一曰有謀，兵起。熒惑失其常，吏且棄其法，諸侯亂其政。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑始出大，而日愈小者，其國不利；始出小，而日愈大者，其國利。熒惑赤角，卒多不出，秋兵起。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Mars is very large and red, moving erratically in all directions, which is not normal; another interpretation suggests there is a conspiracy and military actions will arise. When Mars deviates from its normal course, officials will abandon laws and regulations, and the feudal lords will disrupt state affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When Mars first appears large and then becomes smaller day by day, the country will suffer misfortune; when Mars first appears small and then grows larger day by day, the country will be favorable. If Mars develops red horns, the soldiers will mostly remain inactive, and military actions will arise in the autumn.

又曰：“熒惑赤大，昭然而芒，其野有兵。熒惑大而赤角，有兵，兵出有功，戰客利；背之者大勝；逆之者大敗。勞惑色赤，大而角，軍大驚。”巫咸曰：“熒惑小名曰進賊；萬物相暴，從為賊；不有死王，必有滅國；使之不然，哀老弱，憐孤寡。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出東方，反行以西，有小星，擊之即去；所宿之國受兵。”

It is also said that the planet Mars appears red and large, shining brightly with a luminous glow. The region it corresponds to is prone to military conflicts. When Mars is large and has a red horn, it indicates military action, which can lead to military success, and the defending army will have the advantage. If the battle is fought against the direction Mars is facing, there will be a great victory; if fought towards the direction Mars is facing, there will be a great defeat. When Mars is red, large, and has a horn, it causes great disturbance within the army. Wu Xian said: When Mars becomes smaller, this is called 'the enemy advances'; all things mutually oppress and destroy each other, and subsequently there will be bandits and rebels. Either a king will die, or a country will be destroyed. To prevent this, one must show compassion to the elderly and the weak, and care for the orphans and the destitute. Xi Meng said: When Mars appears in the east and then moves westward, with small stars beside it, and if it is struck once and then departs, the country where it resides will suffer from military disaster.

《荊州占》曰：“兩敵相當，熒惑當其日而大，以其大之日利；當其日而小，以其小之日不利。上旬為陽國，中旬為中國，下旬為陰國。星大赤，則兵出有功；小赤，則無功；皆以其日占國。熒惑貫小星，殺小將。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When two armies are facing each other, if the planet Mars appears large on a certain day, it is advantageous to fight on that day; if it appears small on a day, it is not advantageous to fight on that day. In the first half of the month, the battle should be in the country of the yang position; in the middle of the month, in the central country; and in the last half of the month, in the country of the yin position. If the star is large and red, going to war will result in success; if it is small and red, going to war will result in no success. The specific country where the battle should take place should be determined according to the stem and branch of that day. If the planet Mars passes by a small star beside it, it indicates the death of a subordinate general.

熒惑之陰，有小星，去四寸以內，諸侯陰謀。熒惑之陽，有小星，去四寸以內、諸侯有小兵。熒惑之傍，有小星兩，其一在南，一在北，皆四寸以內、諸侯從。熒惑之傍，有小星兩，其一在東，一在西，皆四寸以內，諸侯橫。熒惑小而赤角，兵出無功。”

The star Mars has a small star to its north within four inches; this indicates that the feudal lords are secretly plotting. Mars has a small star to its south within four inches; this indicates that the feudal lords have minor military conflicts. Mars has two small stars beside it, one to the north and one to the south, both within four inches; this indicates that the feudal lords are forming alliances. Mars has two small stars beside it, one to the east and one to the west, both within four inches; this indicates that the feudal lords are making a horizontal alliance. If Mars is small and has a red horn, it indicates that military campaigns will not achieve success.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑躍而沉浮，主用心悼憤。熒惑守列舍，浮跳不安；人主心邪，無剛政。”韓楊曰：“熒惑有宿星斗，不出三年，臣背其主，熒惑變色，逆行相凌而斗會舍還，其國無道。若與宿同光，國君出走。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars (Fenghuo) jumps and flickers, rising and falling suddenly, it indicates the ruler is suffering from inner sorrow and resentment. If Mars remains in a particular star mansion, moving about restlessly and unable to settle, it suggests the ruler is untrustworthy, and his decrees cannot be firm and decisive. Han Yang says: When Mars contends with the star of its current mansion, the country will suffer a rebellion by ministers against the ruler within three years. If Mars changes color, moves retrograde, and contends with another star, meeting in one mansion and then turning back, that country is one ruled by an unjust sovereign. If Mars shares the same color as the star of its current mansion, it indicates the ruler will flee.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑生氣，如為赤穰者，明日大暑，至夕時而大雨。熒惑出穰氣，長一丈，有百日旱。”《孝經內記》曰：“熒惑黑赤，氣為赤穰者，不出五月，有賊；三十日，有兵；五十日，旱，魚鹽貴，二倍自止。”

"The 'Rang qi' is a miscellaneous vapor that appears fluffy and piled up like straw stalks. The 'Yellow Emperor's Divination' states: when the planet Mars emits a vapor, it appears as a red pile of straw, and on the next day it becomes extremely hot, and by evening there is heavy rain. If Mars emits a 'Rang qi' that extends for a length of ten feet, it indicates a drought lasting one hundred days. The 'Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety' says: when Mars has a dark red color, the vapor it produces forms a red pile of straw, and within five months there will be bandits; within thirty days there will be military affairs; within fifty days there will be a drought, with the prices of fish and salt rising to double their usual levels, and the price increase will stop on its own."

甘氏曰：“兩軍相當，而雲掩熒惑，必有覆軍，若將死；其出入進退以戰，背之大勝，迎之大敗。”郗萌曰：“兩軍相當，雲厚掩熒惑，必有逐軍。”巫咸曰：“熒惑白暈，大臣背其主；其角也，兵；氣赤色也，國有憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出彗東南維，其下受亡地，不出三年。”

The Gan school says: When two armies face each other, if the red star (Manghuo) is obscured by clouds, there will certainly be the loss of troops or the death of a general; when fighting during the movement of the red star, if you attack from the direction opposite to it, you will achieve a great victory, but if you attack from the direction it faces, you will suffer a great defeat. Xi Meng says: When two armies face each other, if the red star is completely hidden by thick clouds, there will certainly be the pursuit and expulsion of troops. Wu Xian says: If there is a white halo around the red star, it indicates that a minister will betray his sovereign; if there is a horn-like projection on the halo, it indicates military affairs; if the cloud is red in color, it indicates internal troubles in the country. Xi Meng says: If the red star emits a comet-like cloud in the southeast sky region, the area under its influence will lose territory, and this will come to pass within three years.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯左角，都尉死之。”《陳卓占》曰：“熒惑犯角，赦期一月。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯左右角，大人憂；一曰有兵，大臣為亂。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入左角，有大赦；入右角，兵大起。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑出角，中道，天下太平；出陽道，旱；陰道，多雨。”陳卓曰：“熒惑出角陰道，多陰道。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出入天門間，宮門移。”又占曰：“熒惑逆行角，失火。”

The two stars of Jiao Xu are the horn of the Azure Dragon and also the gate in the sky. The left horn governs legal affairs and punishment, while the right horn governs generals commanding troops. The area between the two horns is called "Heaven's Gate." The "Jingzhou Divination" states that if the planet Mars approaches the left horn, the commander of the garrison will die. The "Chen Zhuo Divination" says that if Mars approaches the horn mansion, there will be a proclamation of amnesty, and this will occur within a month. The Shi school says that if Mars approaches both the left and right horns, there will be worries for high officials; another account says there will be military affairs and rebellion by high ministers. The Gan school says that if Mars enters the left horn, there will be a great amnesty; if it enters the right horn, there will be large-scale military conflicts. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states that if Mars exits from the central part of the horn mansion, called Heaven's Gate, the whole country will be peaceful; if it exits from the southern yang path, there will be drought; if it exits from the northern yin path, there will be much rain. Chen Zhuo says that if Mars exits from the northern yin path of the horn mansion, there will be excessive damp and rainy weather. Xi Meng says that if Mars enters and exits between Heaven's Gate, there will be a relocation of palace gates. Another divination says that if Mars moves retrograde in the horn mansion, there will be a fire.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行角中，成勾已，若環繞之，人主憂，有兵喪，若關梁不通，期六月。”郗萌曰：“熒惑起角，刺如鋒刃，經角間；三十日而三留之，人主無下殿出宮，廓廟間有伏陣兵。”又曰：“熒惑赤色、光芒，居天門中，三十日，天下有大徵發，男年十五至耄老，三年乃止；或曰三月。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars is in the Horn mansion and moves retrograde, winding into a hook shape, or circling around the Horn mansion, the sovereign will have worries, there will be military affairs and funerals, or there will be blockades at passes and bridges, and this will occur within six months. Xi Meng says: Mars appears with a sharppointed rays, like a knife edge, moving between the two horns; it stays there three times within thirty days, and the sovereign must not go down from the palace or leave the court, because there are hidden troops arranged in formation in the halls. It also says: When Mars appears red and luminous, and stops in the Heavenly Gate, there will be large-scale conscription throughout the country within thirty days, conscripting men from fifteen years old up to the elderly, and this will last for three years; some say it lasts for three months.

郗萌曰：“熒惑起芒角，赤色而光，守天門中，二十日飢；一曰小旱。又曰：熒惑過兩角，多雨。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑成鉤已，環繞角，有芒如鋒刃，天子失位。”郗萌曰：“熒惑乘左角，為旱；乘右角，為兵，為水。”又曰：“乘陵左右角者，為日蝕，國有大變。”石氏曰：“熒惑乘右角，后族家若將相有坐法死者。”又占曰：“熒惑與角合，韓相出走。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars appears with a bright horn, red in color and shining, staying in the middle of the Heavenly Gate, which indicates a famine within twenty days; another interpretation says it signifies a minor drought. He also said: When Mars crosses over the two horns, it indicates much rain. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars forms a hook shape and moves around the Horn mansion, its horns are sharp like a knife, indicating the emperor losing his position. Xi Meng said: When Mars attacks the left horn, it indicates drought; when it attacks the right horn, it indicates military affairs and water disasters. He also said: When Mars attacks and suppresses both left and right horns, it indicates an eclipse of the sun and major disturbances in the country. The Shi school said: When Mars attacks the right horn, it indicates that someone from the imperial family or among the ministers will die due to breaking the law. Another divination says: When Mars combines with the Horn mansion, it indicates the chancellor of the State of Han will flee.

《河圖》曰：“熒惑居角陽，其國有喜；居陰，有憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑居角亢間及太微宮，臣有請兵於天子者；若去復還，居角亢之間，天子聽之，兵且起。”又占曰：“熒惑大反行，留角，國受殃及加兵。”又曰：“色黑為疾、為死，青為水、為飢。”又占曰：“熒惑反行，留角三十日，萬家邑拔，千家邑虜；既居之，南北去之，其邑不可用兵；進為兵，退為喪。”

The Yellow River Chart says: If the planet Mars is located to the south of the Horn mansion, the country will experience joy; if it is located to the north, there will be calamity. Xi Meng says: If Mars is located between the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion and also within the Taiwei palace, it indicates that ministers will request the emperor to dispatch troops. If Mars departs and then returns again, still located between the Horn and Neck mansions, the emperor will agree, and military actions will arise. Another divination says: If Mars greatly retrogrades and remains stationed in the Horn mansion, the country will suffer disaster and be attacked by military force. It also says: If Mars is black in color, it signifies disease and death; if it is green in color, it signifies flooding and famine. Another divination says: If Mars retrogrades and remains stationed in the Horn mansion for thirty days, a city of ten thousand households will be captured, and a city of a thousand households will be plundered. Once it has stayed there, if it moves either south or north and departs, those cities should not be attacked. If Mars moves forward, it indicates military action; if it retreats, it indicates mourning.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑行廷中，不止；有大獄。”巫咸曰：“熒惑舍天門，人主絕祀。”郗萌曰：“熒惑舍天門中，大赦；又曰：入天門，出復反之，天下大亂；守，反者，事大。”《春秋文曜鉤》曰：“奪民時，熒惑守左角。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守左角，有喪；色白，為兵，黃為土功；赤為旱；青、憂，黑死。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守左角，臣謀其主。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars moves continuously within the Heavenly Court, it indicates major legal disputes. Wu Xian says: When Mars stops at the Heavenly Gate, it signifies the extinction of the ruler's ancestral sacrifices. Xi Meng says: When Mars stops within the Heavenly Gate, it indicates the issuance of a great amnesty; also, if Mars enters the Heavenly Gate, exits, and then returns, there will be great chaos; if it remains and then returns again, the situation will be even worse. The *Chunqiu Wenyaogou* says: When the ruler encroaches upon the peasants' farming time, Mars will stay at the Left Angle.

《二十八宿山經注》曰：“熒惑守角亢，其色赤，不出三年，則韓國王死。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守角，西為父母，後為妻，前為子，東為身；如此者，臣弒君；近一年，中二年，運五年。”石氏曰：“熒惑守犯凌左角，為禍咎。”

The "Commentary on the Twenty-Eight Mansions and Mountains" says: When the planet Mars stays near the mansion of Horn and the mansion of Neck, and appears red, the king of the state of Han will die within three years — for Horn and Neck are the celestial regions corresponding to Han. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When Mars stays near the mansion of Horn, according to directional correspondence: the west corresponds to parents, the back corresponds to wife, the front corresponds to sons and daughters, and the east corresponds to oneself; when this celestial phenomenon occurs, it indicates that a minister will kill the king; the near occurrence lasts one year, the medium occurrence lasts two years, and the distant occurrence lasts five years (the original text mistakenly writes 'distant' as 'movement'). The Shi school says: When Mars stays near, collides with, or harasses the left horn, there will be calamity and misfortune.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入亢，有芒角，犯凌之，當有白衣之會，糴大貴。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入亢，天子廷有兵，有水。”《東官候》曰：“熒惑入右亢，謂北星也天下有白衣之期，五穀不熟。”石氏曰：“熒惑數入亢，其國疾病疫。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入亢，成鉤已，環繞之，有亡國，必有臣謀主。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：魏喜平三年十月癸未，熒惑犯亢南星，正元三年二月，李豐等謀亂，誅。）

The four stars of Kangle are located east of the Horn mansion, representing the inner court of the Son of Heaven, also known as the shrine of mourning, governing plague and punishment. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: if the planet Mars enters Kangle, accompanied by a bright halo and attacking it, there will be mourning gatherings and a sharp rise in grain prices. Xi Meng says: if Mars enters Kangle, there will be rebellion within the Son of Heaven's court and floods.

The Shi school says: if Mars repeatedly enters Kangle, the country will suffer from widespread disease and plague. Xi Meng also says: if Mars enters Kangle and forms a hook-like shape around it, there will be the downfall of the state and certain ministers plotting against the ruler. The following is a note from the original text, citing the "Book of Song · Astronomical Records": in the third year of Wei's Jiaping (the original text mistakenly writes "Ji" as "Xi"), on the Guiwei day of the tenth lunar month, Mars attacked the southern star of Kangle; later, in the second year of Zhengyuan, Li Feng and others plotted rebellion and were executed.

石氏曰：“熒惑十二月入龍宿，成鉤已，若環繞之，天子朱廷。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行亢，主成咸，非其人。”陳卓曰：“熒惑乘亢右星，為大兵，為水，為穀貴。”郗萌曰：“熒惑乘滅亢左星，為大人憂；乘右星，為天下奇令。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑與亢合、主命凶。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑居亢陽，其國有喜；居陰、有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Mars enters the mansion of the Azure Dragon in the twelfth lunar month, it coils into a hook shape or circles around it, indicating that the court of the emperor will be stained with blood. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars moves backward in the mansion of Kangle, it indicates that things accomplished will fall into the hands of those who are not entitled.

The "Chunqiu Wei" says: When Mars combines with Kangle, it indicates that the ruler's fate will be ominous. The "Yellow River Chart" says: When Mars is located to the south of Kangle, the country will have good fortune; when it is located to the north, there will be misfortune.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑留亢，天子惡之。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留廷中，為天下大憂，或曰為焦旱，物不生，多蟲蝗起。”又占曰：“熒惑舍亢，為歲有小水。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑以八月守亢，兩將相當，在東南，期一歲。”（石氏曰：期歲中。）又曰：“平地出水，橋樑不通，河內將相憂。”

It also says: It indicates great water rising from flat land, bridges breaking and becoming impassable, and officials in the river region facing worries.

甘氏曰：“熒惑守亢，天下大樂，民得封爵，期不出年。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守亢東，天下州占；守西，木果不實。”又占曰：“熒惑守亢，五穀不熟，民死之。”又曰：“守疏廟，有土事；又守天門，有憂。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守亢，小臣為亂，臣疾疫。”又曰：“兵大起，天下旱，萬物不成。”

Another divination says: When Mars stays in the Neck mansion, it indicates that the five grains will not mature, and people will die because of it.

It also says: There will be great military actions, the whole country will suffer from drought, and all things will not mature.

《海中占》曰：“熒惑守亢，天下有白衣之會，天子易政，道路不通。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑地亢，成鉤已而環繞之，三十日，天子自將兵，國易主。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守亢，環繞之成鉤已，天子惡之，期六月若十月。”又占曰：“熒惑守亢，大將有喜，守亢左左，將軍有喜。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the planet Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that there will be mourning gatherings throughout the country, the Son of Heaven will change his policies, and roads will be blocked. The Sea of Divination also says: When Mars reaches the mansion of the Neck (the original text mistakenly writes 'earth' instead of 'reach'), it coils into the shape of a hook and surrounds it. Within thirty days, the Son of Heaven will personally lead troops, and the country will replace its ruler. Xi Meng says: When Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck and coils around it in the shape of a hook, the Son of Heaven will be wary of this celestial phenomenon, and the predicted time will be six or ten months. Another divination says: When Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that a general will have good fortune; when Mars stays in the left side of the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that the general will have good fortune (the original text repeats the word 'left').

又占曰：“熒惑守亢，五穀以水傷敗。”又占曰：“熒惑守亢，為天下大旱，多火災；逆行為失火。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守亢，西為父母，後為妻，前為子，東為身；如此者，臣弒主，近一年，中二年，遠五年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守亢，貴人病亡；一曰留十日，後忌。”又占曰：“熒惑守亢，天子有祠廟之事；又曰天下病頭。”

Another divination text says: When the planet Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that grain will be flooded and damaged. Another divination text says: When the planet Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it signifies a great drought across the land and frequent fires; if it moves backward, it indicates loss of fire. The Yellow Emperor's divination says: When the planet Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it corresponds to different directions: west indicates parents, back indicates wife, front indicates children, and east indicates oneself; when this celestial phenomenon occurs, it foretells that ministers will kill the sovereign, with the event happening within one year, medium term two years, and distant term five years.

Another divination text says: When the planet Mars stays in the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that the sovereign will have rituals in the ancestral temple; another interpretation says it indicates that many people in the land will suffer from head diseases.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑色黑守亢旬日，水萬里不測；二旬，有沒王；三旬，澤海；又曰赦。”《東官候》曰：“熒惑守亢，國糴貴，芒角犯凌，有白衣之眾暴聚，麻麥載倍價。”又占曰：“熒惑守亢，大人憂之，若水船急，若民憂，非一國也，政危；守之三十日，民多疾。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence appears black and remains stationed in the mansion of "Kang" for ten days, there will be a great flood, extending for ten thousand li, with depth and shallowness indeterminate; if it stays for twenty days, the sovereign will die; if it stays for thirty days, the land will sink and become lakes, marshes, and seas. Another account says there will be an amnesty. "Kang" is the second mansion of the Seven Northern Stars of the Azure Dragon in the East, governing court rituals and epidemics, so when the Malefic of violence is stationed there, it often indicates floods, droughts, and epidemics. The *Dongguan Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence guards the mansion of "Kang," the grain prices in the country will rise sharply; if the star's rays are sharp and it invades and harasses the mansion of "Kang," there will be sudden gatherings of people in mourning clothes, and the prices of hemp and wheat will double. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards "Kang," the high-ranking officials will be anxious, their urgency like a boat in danger on the water; or the common people will suffer, and more than one vassal state will be affected, leading to a perilous political situation; if it stays for thirty days, there will be many diseases among the people.

又占曰：“熒惑入守亢，天子有所治宗廟之事，赦解之。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑逆行，守亢，為中兵。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守亢，逆行不順，失其明色，大政不用。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守亢，天下病斗。”《東官候》曰：“熒惑犯守亢，二十日而去，五穀不登，大人憂，亂臣在朝，忠臣不進。”

Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence enters and stays at the Neck mansion, the sovereign will have matters concerning the renovation of ancestral temples, and a proclamation of amnesty can be used to resolve it. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence moves逆行 and stays at the Neck mansion, it indicates the outbreak of military conflict in the central plains. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the Neck mansion, its movement is disorderly and against the norm, and it also loses its proper bright light, indicating that the state's major policies cannot be implemented. Xi Meng also says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the Neck mansion, the people suffer from the calamity of mutual strife and killing. The Eastern Officials' Observation says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the Neck mansion, after twenty days it departs, and the five grains cannot mature, the person in high position has worries, rebels are in power, and loyal and upright ministers are not appointed.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯氐左星，左中郎將誅死；右星，右中郎將誅死；皆期三年。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入天子宮，天子失其宮。郗萌曰：“熒惑守亢，還入氐中，三十日，大人當之，其遠氐者，將大病；在氐南行，國有小喪；在其陽者，男；在其陽者，女。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the Malefic of violence invades the left star of the Root mansion, the Left Middle Commander-in-Chief in charge of palace guards will be executed and die; if it invades the right star, the Right Middle Commander-in-Chief will be executed and die; the time when these prophecies come true is within three years. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the mansion of the Son of Heaven's palace—the Root mansion is originally the place where the Son of Heaven resides, his harem dwells, and he rests—the Son of Heaven will lose his palace. Xi Meng says: If the Malefic of violence first stays at the Neck mansion, then turns back and enters the Root mansion, remaining there for thirty days, calamity or misfortune will befall the person in high position; if the Malefic of violence is far from the Root mansion, the generals and officers will suffer serious illness; if it moves south of the Root mansion, there will be minor deaths in the country; if it appears in the southern part (the yang position) of the Root mansion, it will affect men. The original text still reads 'in its yang position' and associates it with women, which should be a mistake, and it should be 'in its yin position,' meaning that if it appears in the yin position (the northern part), it will affect women.

甘氏曰：“熒惑入氐，留守二十日，不下，當有賊臣有內；下，有反者。（案班固《天文志》曰：孝宣地節元年正月辛酉，熒惑入氐，其四年將軍霍禹、范明友及奉車霍山諸昆弟嬪婚為侍中，諸曹九卿郡守皆謀反伏誅，其應也。）三十日不下，其國兵起，人主當之，氐為天子之宮，罰星入之，不祥之徵，所守之國，其君死之。”

The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Root mansion and stays there for twenty days without descending, there will be a treacherous minister secretly hidden within the palace; if it then descends, there will be people who rise up in rebellion. According to the notes in the original text: According to Ban Gu's Records of the Grand Historian: Heavenly Phenomena, in the first month of the first year of Dijie of Emperor Xuandi of the Han dynasty, on the Xinyou day, the Malefic of violence entered the Root mansion; by the fourth year of Dijie, General Huo Yu, Fan Mingyou, and Fu Che Duwei Huo Shan, along with other brothers of the Huo family, who had married into the imperial family, held positions as attendants, and together with various officials, governors, and ministers, conspired against the emperor and were executed, which was the fulfillment of that heavenly phenomenon. If the Malefic of violence remains for thirty days without descending, then military conflicts will arise in the region corresponding to the Root mansion, and the calamity will fall upon the sovereign. The Root mansion is the palace of the Son of Heaven, and the Malefic of violence is the star of punishment. When the star of punishment enters the palace of the Son of Heaven, it is an ominous sign. Any country that the star of punishment stays in will have its ruler die as a result.

石氏曰：“熒惑入氐，留二十日，有一國君繫飢死，若毒死者。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入天門，至氐前時退，人主無出廓廟間，無出國，無之遠宮，其間有伏陣之兵。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入氐宿，留之二十日，在發卒戰；近期三十日，中期六十日，遠期百日。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Root mansion, and stays for twenty days, there will be a king imprisoned and dying of starvation, or killed by poison. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the 'Heavenly Gate' (the passage between the two stars of the Horn mansion), and before reaching the Root mansion it retreats, the monarch should not leave the inner court, should not depart from the capital, and should not go to distant palaces, because there are soldiers stationed in ambush along the way. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Root mansion and stays there for twenty days, there will be conscription of soldiers for warfare; within thirty days it will be fulfilled, in the middle case within sixty days, and in the distant case within a hundred days.

又占曰：“熒惑以戊辰歲，鉤已入氐，犯西南東北星，光合者，到巳己歲，大將軍誅，大赦天下。”又占曰：“熒惑出東方，若西方，留氐者，天子軍也；去復還居之，天子坐之。”巫咸曰：“熒惑逆行氐，失火；一曰守氐，多火災。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行氐，地動。”

Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence is in the year Wuchen, it enters the Root mansion with a 'hooking Ji' movement (first moving in a smooth direction then reversing, moving back and forth like a hook), and invades the Southwest and Northeast stars of the Root mansion. The light of the star coincides with it. Then in the year Jisi, the Grand General will be executed, followed by a general amnesty. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence appears in the East or West and stays in the Root mansion, the Son of Heaven will personally lead the army; if it departs and then returns to occupy the Root mansion, the Son of Heaven will be implicated in wrongdoing. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde in the Root mansion, there will be a fire; another view says when the Malefic of violence guards the Root mansion, fires will occur frequently. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde in the Root mansion, there will be an earthquake.

郗萌曰：“熒惑乘氐之左星，天子自將兵於野，一曰天下有大水、大兵。”又占曰：“熒惑出入留舍氐，五十日不下，天下大疾；一曰二十日不下，五月有病。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出入留舍氐十日，其君當之。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守氐，成鉤己者，大人憂。”（甘氏曰：赦，期六日。）

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence is passing over the left star of the Root mansion, the Son of Heaven will personally lead his troops to campaign in the outskirts; another interpretation says there will be great floods and great military calamities. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Root mansion for fifty days without descending, there will be a great plague throughout the land; another interpretation says if it does not move for twenty days, there will be many illnesses in May. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Root mansion for ten days, the calamity will fall upon the ruler of that region. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Root mansion and forms a curved shape like a hook, the superior person in power will have worries. (Original note: According to the Gan school, there will be an amnesty, expected to occur within six days.)

石氏曰：“熒惑守氐，大人憂，若強國當之；若主有繫者，餓而死；若近臣憂，非一國也，政不安；一曰天下有兵，一曰大國憂。”《春秋緯文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑與氐星合，失地一百里。”石氏曰：“熒惑守氏，去一旬復還，有大兵起，二月有亡地。”又占曰：“熒惑逆行守氐，大臣謀反，其事成。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Root mansion, the high-ranking official will have worries, or a powerful state will suffer the calamity; or the monarch has someone imprisoned, who will die of starvation in prison; or the close attendants will have worries, and the trouble will affect more than one state, causing political instability; another interpretation is that there will be military campaigns throughout the land, and another is that a great state will have worries. The "Spring Annals Brocade · Wen Yao Gou" says: When the Malefic of violence combines with the Root mansion and other stars, it indicates the loss of land for a hundred li. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Root mansion (the original text says '氏', which is a phonetic error for '氐'), after ten days it returns, there will be a great military uprising, and within two months there will be loss of territory. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and stays at the Root mansion, the ministers will plot rebellion, and the plot will succeed.

甘氏曰：“熒惑守氐，大臣相譖，主大戰。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守氐，君有疾，有兵起，所守國其君惡之。”（案《案書天文志》曰：武帝永初二年六月乙酉，熒惑犯氐，景平元年廬陵王義真廢，王領豫州也。）《海中占》曰：“熒惑守氐，國亂，有反臣，近臣有憂；有兵，期六月，不出六十日，赦，不遍天下；歲春旱，晚水；不出其年，人相食。”

The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Root mansion, there will be mutual slander and attacks among ministers, indicating a great war. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Root mansion, the sovereign will fall ill, military affairs will arise, and the ruler of the territory corresponding to that mansion will most fear this celestial phenomenon. (Original commentary: According to the 'Astronomical Records' in the 'Song Book'—'Case Book' is likely a mistake for 'Song Book'—it records that in the second year of Yongchun during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Song, on the Yiyou day of the sixth month, the Malefic of violence invaded the Root mansion; by the first year of Jingping, Prince Liu Yizhen of Luling was deposed, and at that time he was serving as the governor of the Yu Prefecture.) The 'Sea Divination' says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Root mansion, there will be internal turmoil, a traitor will appear, and the attendants will suffer misfortune; there will be military affairs, expected to last six months; within no more than sixty days there will be an amnesty, but the amnesty will not cover the whole country; that year there will be a drought in spring, and after autumn there will be much rain; before the end of that year, there will be a terrible situation of people eating people.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑出氐，復還守之，強國之君惡之。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守氐，地震動；又曰有土功事；又曰守二十日，相死，親近戮死者；西北之夷來。又曰：守氐色黑，國家有小喪。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守氐，天子惡之。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：武帝永初二年六月乙酉，熒惑犯氐，三年五月，宮車晏駕。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence leaves the Root mansion and then returns to guard it, it is most ominous for the ruler of a powerful state. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Root mansion, it indicates an earthquake; also, there will be construction projects; also, if it guards for twenty days, the chancellor will die, the close associates of the ruler will be killed, and the夷狄 from the Northwest will invade. Also, if the star appears dark while guarding the Root mansion, the country will suffer minor losses. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Root mansion, it is most ominous for the Son of Heaven. (Original note: According to the Records of the Song Dynasty's Astronomical Annals, on June 12th of the second year of Yongchun in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, the Malefic of violence invaded the Root mansion; by May of the third year of Yongchun, Emperor Wu died. 'The imperial chariot returned late' is a euphemism used by ministers to refer to the death of the ruler.)

郗萌曰：“熒惑守氐，西為父母，後為妻，前為子，東為身；如此者，臣弒君；近期一年，中二年，遠五年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守氐，成鉤已者，強國之君死之；王者憂，貴人有飢死囚繫者；謂東行反之，還去兩星二尺，期百二十日；去兩星齊，期二十日，以赦解之。

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays at the Root mansion, if it is located west of the Root mansion, it indicates the parents; if it is located behind the Root mansion, it indicates the wife; if it is located before the Root mansion, it indicates the sons and daughters; if it is located east of the Root mansion, it indicates the self; the appearance of such an astronomical phenomenon indicates that a minister will kill the sovereign; the effect will be verified within a year, medium term within two years, and distant term within five years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Root mansion and forms the shape of "gou ji", the king of a powerful state will die because of it; the sovereign will have worries, and among the prominent people, some will be imprisoned and starve to death; this refers to the Malefic of violence originally moving eastward but then turning back, when it retreats, it is about two chi away from the Root mansion, the period of effect is 120 days; if it retreats to align with the two stars, the period of effect is 20 days, and a great amnesty can be used to resolve it.

又占曰：熒惑守氐，去復反、守之，其色黃白，與兩星齊，期十日；去兩星尺，期六十日，有赦。又占曰：熒惑色赤若黃，以九月守氐，六十日有奪地死王；期一年。”

Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Root mansion and then returns to stay there again, if the star's color is yellow-white and the two stars are aligned, the predicted time is ten days; if the distance between the two stars is one foot, the predicted time is sixty days, and there will be an amnesty. Another divination passage says: If the Malefic of violence appears red or yellow and stays at the Root mansion in September, there will be events of seizing land and the death of the king within sixty days; the overall predicted time is one year.

《洛書》曰：“熒惑犯房，亡君之夷。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑犯房宿，將軍為亂，王者惡之。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守犯凌房，國君憂；色青，憂喪；赤、憂兵，積尸成山；黑、右將相誅；白、芒角，大哭。”

The Luo Writing says: The Malefic of violence invades the 'Room Mansion,' indicating the downfall of the sovereign and the destruction of the territory. The four stars of the Room Mansion are the Bright Hall of the Son of Heaven, and also symbolize the position of the chariot and the ministers, so when the Malefic of violence invades them, it is most ominous. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence invades the Room Mansion, the general rebels, and this is most feared by the sovereign. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards, invades, or attacks the Room Mansion, the sovereign faces worries; if the star appears red, the worry is about military affairs, with corpses piling up like mountains; if it appears black, the ministers on the right side are executed; if it appears white with sharp edges, the whole country mourns.

（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝和永元五年九月，火犯房北第一星，為相，六年正月，司徒丁鴻薨。《宋書天文志》曰：魏明帝太和五年五月，熒惑犯房，占曰：房四星，股肱將相位也，五月星犯守之，將相有憂。七月，車騎將軍張郃追諸葛亮，為亮所言，十二月，太尉華歆死。晉成帝咸康八年六月熒惑犯房上第二星，占曰：次相憂。建元二年，車騎將軍江州刺史庚冰薨，是時驃騎將軍何充居內，冰為次相也。）

The original commentary states: Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena" records that in the ninth month of the fifth year of Emperor He of Han's Yongyuan era, the planet Mars invaded the first star to the north of the constellation Fangsu, which governs the position of the prime minister; by the first month of the sixth year of Yongyuan, the Minister of Works Ding Hong died. The "Book of Song: Records of Celestial Phenomena" records that in the fifth month of the Tahe era of Emperor Ming of Wei, the planet Mars invaded the constellation Fangsu, and the divination text says: the four stars of Fangsu represent the positions of ministers and generals; when Mars invades and stays in this constellation in the fifth month, ministers and generals will have worries; in the seventh month of that year, General Zhang He pursued Zhuge Liang and was killed by him (the original text says 'was spoken against by Liang,' the character 'speak' is likely a mistake). In the twelfth month, the Grand Commandant Hua Xun died. In the eighth year of Emperor Cheng of Jin's Xiankang era, in the sixth month, the planet Mars invaded the second star above the constellation Fangsu, and the divination text says: the secondary minister will have worries; by the second year of Jiayuan, General Yu Bing, who held the position of General of the Carriage and Governor of Jiangzhou, died, and at that time General He Chong was in charge of the government, and Yu Bing was in the position of the secondary minister.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入房，天子之宮，大臣有反者，天子之宮，大臣有反者，天子憂，期六月。”又曰：“有白衣之會。”又占曰：“熒惑入房，天下有喪。”又占曰：“熒惑入房三道，為天子有子。”石氏曰：“熒惑入房，馬貴；出房，馬賤。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出房北，主也；出其南，諸臣也；處之，憂甚；行，除憂，無故。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence enters the Room Mansion, the Room Mansion is the palace of the Son of Heaven, among the ministers there are those who plot rebellion, the Son of Heaven is anxious and fearful, the event will occur within six months. (The phrase "the palace of the Son of Heaven, among the ministers there are those who plot rebellion" is a duplicate in the original text, a result of transmission errors.) It also says: there will be a gathering for a mourning ceremony in plain clothes. Another divination says: the Malefic of violence enters the Room Mansion, the whole country will have mourning. Another divination says: the Malefic of violence enters the three passages of the Room Mansion (the southern passage, the central path, and the northern passage between the four stars of the Room Mansion), the Son of Heaven will have a son. The Shi school said: when the Malefic of violence enters the Room Mansion, horse prices will rise; when it leaves the Room Mansion, horse prices will fall. Xi Meng said: when the Malefic of violence comes out from the northern side of the Room Mansion, the event will concern the ruler; when it comes out from the southern side, the event will concern the ministers; if it stays without moving, the calamity will be severe; if it continues forward, the calamity will be removed, and everything will be safe and sound.

《海中占》曰：“熒惑行房南，旱；若守之，為喪；行房北，為水；若守之，為兵。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行房，失火；若地動。”《春秋演孔圖》曰：“堯恆視熒惑所在，在房；則改法蠲令。”（宋均曰：房為天子明堂，政教有門，故改法蠲令也。）

The Sea of the Sea divination text says: When the Malefic of violence passes through the southern part of the Room mansion, it indicates drought; if it stays at the southern side, it indicates funerals; when it passes through the northern part of the Room mansion, it indicates flood disasters; if it stays at the northern side, it indicates military affairs. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence movesretrograde through the Room mansion, it indicates fire outbreaks or earthquakes. The Spring and Autumn Evolution of Kong Tu says: Emperor Yao often observed the position of the Malefic of violence; whenever it reached the Room mansion, he would change the laws and regulations and exempt burdensome policies. (Original book note: Song Jun said that the Room mansion is the Bright Hall of the Son of Heaven, where edicts and education enter and exit through the gate, so when the Malefic of violence approaches the Room mansion, the laws and regulations should be changed and burdensome policies should be exempted.)

又占曰：“熒惑磨心環房，不留正舍，往來彷徉，人主無下殿，遠宮闕，有伏兵。”《洛書》曰：“熒惑鉤已房，主命凶。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑逆行房，成鉤已，大人憂，臣弒其君，凶；（郗萌曰：期不出六十日也。）下有反者，大兵起。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑與房合，車馳人走。”（宋均曰：熒惑與房合，為諸侯所逐也。）

Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence approaches the Heart mansion and moves along it, and circles around the Room mansion, refusing to rest in its proper place, coming and going uncertainly, the ruler should not descend from the hall and should stay away from the palace gate and tower, because there are hidden soldiers on the road. The Luo Writing says: When the Malefic of violence forms the shape of 'hook and self' in the Room mansion, the ruler's life is in danger. The Jade Calendar says: When the Malefic of violence moves backward in the Room mansion to form the shape of 'hook and self', the person in high position will have worries, and ministers will kill their ruler, which is a great calamity; (Original note: Xi Meng said, the time of occurrence will not be beyond sixty days.) There are rebels below, and great armies will rise. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence combines with the Room mansion, chariots and horses will rush, and people will scatter. (Original note: Song Jun said, when the Malefic of violence combines with the Room mansion, it is the omen of the Son of Heaven being driven away by the feudal lords.)

郗萌曰：“熒惑與太白合房，哭泣者多，堂空。”甘氏曰：“熒惑貫房中央，天下無兵；出房南，為男憂；出其北，女憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入房，留二十日，主出走；留十五日，主戰；近期三十日，遠三月。”石氏曰：“熒惑出中道，留也，天下有夷；期三月、四月；天下大赦。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出入房中道，良馬用，天下兵滿野，將相為盜，大臣有憂。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence and the planet Venus meet in the Room Mansion, there will be many people weeping, and the Bright Hall will be empty. Gan school said: The Malefic of violence passes through the center of the Room Mansion, there will be no military affairs in the world; if it comes out from the southern side of the Room Mansion, there will be worries about men; if it comes out from the northern side, there will be worries about women. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence enters the Room Mansion and stays for twenty days, the ruler will flee; if it stays for fifteen days, there will be warfare; if it is near, the effect will be within thirty days; if it is far, the effect will be within three months. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence comes out from the middle of the Room Mansion and stays there, there will be a country being destroyed; the time of the event will be three to four months; afterwards, the whole world will be pardoned.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守房，十日不去，山崩。”又占曰：“熒惑守房，大臣為亂，王圍於野，天下作兵，五年而止。”石氏曰：“熒惑守房，天下更政。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守房，有兵與喪；居之三月，其邦有殃；五月、受兵；十月、其野亡。”又占曰：“熒惑守房，貴人疾。又占曰：“熒惑守房三日、五日，天子車駕有驚。”

The "Spring Annals Weave · Explanation of Titles" says: The Room mansion and the Heart mansion belong to the position of Eastern Wood; when the Malefic of violence guards them, it signifies burning and usurpation; as both are yang elements that destroy each other, the son will replace the father as the ruler.

石氏曰：“熒惑守房，火近於木，子火滅其母，十日不去，國有喪；（郗萌曰有崩主。）十五日不去，兵大起；二十日不去，臣弒君，子殺父，（郗萌曰臣叛其君，子去其父也。）民去邦邑，陰陽相剋，天下大動；期不出一年。”

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守房，期一年，大臣盜國寶，大兵起於後宗，其芒角犯凌留三十日以上，大臣凶；一曰秦燕趙大凶。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“房心星宿暗黑，熒惑守之，二百日止，則音聲，萬民相聲，大水、魚、鹽、五穀貴，百姓愁若。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of Violence is stationed at the Room Mansion, the event will occur within a year, with ministers stealing the state's treasures and great military forces arising from among the royal family's clans. If itspointed rays is sharp and it invades and presses upon the Room Mansion, staying for more than thirty days, ministers will suffer misfortune. Another view states that there will be great calamity in the states of Qin, Yan, and Zhao. The *Annotations on the Twenty-Eight Mansions and Mountains* says: When the light of the Room Mansion and the Heart Mansion becomes dark and black, and the Malefic of Violence is stationed there, remaining for two hundred days, there will be loud noises, the people will call out to one another, great floods will cause disaster, fish, salt, and the five grains will become expensive, and the common people will suffer hardship.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯中，乘守房左驂左服，為君死，所中將誅；有中犯乘守房右驂右服，為夫人死，所中相誅。”又占曰：“熒惑留逆犯守乘凌房左右驂，主崩，臣有陰謀；逆往乘凌中道，天子失位而亡；順行乘凌中道，天下和平。”韓楊曰：“熒惑犯房、鉤鈐，王者憂。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence is directly in the middle, conflicting, overpowering, and guarding the left骖 and left服 of the Room Mansion. This indicates the death of the sovereign, and the general who is conflicted will be executed.

Another divination says: If the Malefic of violence stays, retrogrades, invades, guards, and overpowers the left and right骖 stars of the Room Mansion, the sovereign will die, and ministers will have conspiracies. If it retrogrades and comes to overpower the central path, the emperor will lose his position and die. If it proceeds normally and overpowers the central path, the world will be in peace. Han Yang said: If the Malefic of violence invades the Room Mansion and the Hook and Bell stars, the sovereign will have worries.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉穆帝昇平三年三月乙酉，熒惑逆行，犯鉤鈐，五年穆帝廟。禮道驚《晉陽秋》曰：孝武大元十九年十一月甲申，熒惑犯鉤鈐，二十一年九月庚申，帝崩。《宋書天文志》曰：宋武大明二年十一月庚戍，熒惑犯房及鉤鈐，壬子又犯鉤鈐，占曰：有兵。其年索虜寇歷下，遣羽林軍討破之。）

According to the annotations in the original text: The "Book of the Sui Dynasty, Records of Astronomy" states that in the third month of the third year of Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty's Shengping era, on the Yiyou day, the planet Mars moved retrograde and invaded the Hook and Bell stars. By the fifth year of the same era, when Emperor Mu died, a temple was established for him (the original text "five years Emperor Mu's temple" is missing the character "died"). The "Jinyang Spring" by Tan Daoluan (the original text "Li Daojing" is a miswriting for "Tan Daoluan") records that on the Jiashen day of the eleventh month in the nineteenth year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty's Taoyuan era, the planet Mars invaded the Hook and Bell stars. On the Gengshen day of the ninth month in the twentieth year of Taoyuan, Emperor Xiaowu died. The "Book of the Sui Dynasty, Records of Astronomy" also records that on the Gengxu day of the eleventh month in the second year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty's Daming era, the planet Mars invaded the Room Mansion and Hook and Bell stars. On the Renzi day, it invaded the Hook and Bell stars again. The divination text says: there will be military affairs. That year, the Northern Wei (called the "Suo Lu" by the Southern Dynasties) invaded Lixia, and the court sent the Feather Forest Army to attack and defeated them.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯乘鉤鈐，大臣有誤天子，不尊事天者，致火災於宗廟；王者不宜出宮、下殿；有謀匿於宗廟中者。”石氏曰：“熒惑逆行至鉤鈐，天子侍臣俱亡。《春秋緯》曰：“出行不節，則熒惑守房、鉤鈐。劉向《洪範》曰：“鉤鈐，天子御也，熒惑守之，不大僕則奉車；不黜，則死。”（《洪範》曰：漢宣帝本始元年，熒惑守房，其後六年，奉東都尉霍山舉家謀反，誅滅。）郗萌曰：“熒惑過鉤鈐，大赦；若有德令。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence invades and occupies the Hook and Key stars (two small stars near the Room Mansion, like the lock and key of a door, which preside over the key to the emperor's chariot), this indicates ministers causing the emperor to err, failing to show reverence to heaven, leading to fire in the ancestral temple; the sovereign should not go out of the palace or descend from the throne; someone is hiding a conspiracy within the ancestral temple. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence moves backward to the Hook and Key stars, all the attendants of the emperor will die. The Spring and Autumn Writings say: If the sovereign's travels are not in accordance with propriety, the Malefic of violence will stay at the Room Mansion and Hook and Key stars. Liu Xiang's Transmission of the Five Phases of the Hong Fan says: The Hook and Key stars preside over the emperor's chariot affairs; when the Malefic of violence stays at them, either the Master of the Imperial Carriage or the Attendant of the Imperial Carriage will be involved; if these people are not dismissed, they will die. (Original note: The Hong Fan says, in the first year of Ben Shi of Emperor Xuandi of the Han dynasty, the Malefic of violence stayed at the Room Mansion; six years later, the Attendant of the Imperial Carriage Ho Shan's family plotted rebellion and was executed.) Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence passes over the Hook and Key stars, it signifies a great amnesty or an edict of benevolent governance.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑犯心，戰不勝國，大將鬥死；一曰主亡。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯心，天子王者絕嗣；犯太子，太子不得代；犯庶子，庶子不利。”又占曰：“熒惑犯心，必有飢餓死者。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯心，有謀臣；不即有死王。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入心前後星，相戮中野。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入心，大臣有反者，天子憂之，期六月。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The Malefic of violence invades the Heart mansion, and the warring side cannot win; the general fights and dies; another interpretation says the sovereign dies. The Heart mansion consists of three stars; the central star is the position of the heavenly king, the preceding star is the crown prince, and the following star is the庶son. The Malefic of violence is the star that governs war, mourning, disorder, and plague, so "Flame Star stays in the Heart mansion" has always been regarded as the most ominous celestial phenomenon, and the following interpretations mostly relate to the survival of the sovereign. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: The Malefic of violence invades the Heart mansion, and the emperor or king will lose his descendants; if it invades the preceding crown prince star, the crown prince cannot succeed to the throne; if it invades the following庶son star, the庶son will be disadvantageous. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence invades the Heart mansion, and certainly someone will die of starvation. Xi Meng says: The Malefic of violence invades the Heart mansion, and there will be a minister plotting rebellion; otherwise, the sovereign will die. The Literary Hooks of the Stars says: When the Malefic of violence enters between the two stars of the Heart mansion, close relatives will kill each other in the outskirts. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Heart mansion, there will be a rebel among the ministers, and the sovereign will be anxious, and this will occur within six months.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑經心，清明烈照，天下內奉，王帝必延年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入角，道逆行，進退，欲留氐亢，因復少進，繞心與房，不留止舍，往來紡徉，可三十日。”又曰：“因以東西有憂；南北有喪。”《春秋演孔圖》曰：“熒惑在心，則縞素麻衣。”（宋均曰：熒惑在心，海內之殃，海內亡主，故素縞麻衣。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence passes through the Heart mansion, its light is clear and bright, shining strongly, and all under heaven will come to pay homage and support the sovereign, and the emperor will certainly prolong his life and gain longevity—this is a rare auspicious omen in this text. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Horn mansion, it moves retrograde along the Yellow Path, advancing and retreating suddenly, as if intending to stay in the Root mansion and Neck mansion, then slightly advances again, circling around the Heart mansion and Room mansion, unwilling to rest calmly in its proper place, wandering back and forth for about thirty days. It also says: this will bring calamity to the east and west, and mourning in the north and south. The Spring and Autumn Annals: Commentary on the Image of Kong says: When the Malefic of violence stops in the Heart mansion, the whole world will wear white mourning clothes. (Original book note: Song Jun said, when the Malefic of violence is in the Heart mansion, it brings calamity to all four seas, and the realm will lose its sovereign, hence people will wear plain white hemp robes.)

郗萌曰：“熒惑廻心，若去之，復還反之，二日，大赦。”石氏曰：“熒惑乘心，其國相死。”又占曰：“熒惑犯蝕乘心右星，太子有憂，若不立；一曰不死即去。”《洛書》曰：“熒惑居心陽，其國有喜；居陰，有憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入心，留二十日，主病；三十日，疾困群臣，亦然。”陳卓曰：“熒惑留心，近臣為亂。”

Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence circles around the Heart mansion, or departs and then returns, there will be a great amnesty within two days. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence invades the Heart mansion, the minister of the region corresponding to that mansion will die. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence invades, covers, or invades the right star of the Heart mansion, the crown prince will have worries, or may not be established as the heir; another interpretation says even if he does not die, he will be dismissed and leave. The Luo Writing says: When the Malefic of violence is in the southern position of the Heart mansion, the country will have joy; when it is in the northern position, there will be worries. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence enters the Heart mansion and stays for twenty days, the sovereign will be ill; if it stays for thirty days, the sovereign's illness will be severe, and the ministers will also be in the same situation. Chen Zhuo said: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Heart mansion, the attendants will rebel.

石氏曰：“熒惑舍心，貴人振旅，天下大兵；若色玄不明，喪。”司馬彪《天文志》曰：“金火俱在心，為大朝。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑宿心，色青、有喪；然赤、有兵；宿心東，為齊越；西、為秦鄭；（甘氏曰：泰觀為中。）南、荊宋；北、衛趙；（甘氏曰：燕趙。）中為魏魯。”

The Shi school says: When the Mars star stops at the Heart mansion, it indicates that a prominent person should mobilize troops for military campaigns, and there will be great warfare throughout the land; if the star's color is dark and unclear, it presages mourning. Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" says: When the planet Venus and the Mars star are both in the Heart mansion, it indicates a major court assembly. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the Mars star is stationed at the Heart mansion, if its color is blue, it presages mourning; if its color is bright red like burning, it presages warfare; if it is stationed east of the Heart mansion, the event will occur in Qi and Yue; if it is stationed west of the Heart mansion, the event will occur in Qin and Zheng; (original note: Gan school says, the area of Qin should be considered as central.) if it is stationed south of the Heart mansion, the event will occur in Jing and Song; if it is stationed north of the Heart mansion, the event will occur in Wei and Lu; (original note: Gan school says, it is Yan and Zhao.) if it is stationed in the center, the event will occur in Wei and Lu.

《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑與心合，主死；不死出走；又曰易帝。”郗萌曰：“熒惑起角芒，如劍刃，經兩角間，進退不留止，磨心以行，有伏陣兵。”甘氏曰：“熒惑貫心，天下民飢。”郗萌曰：“熒惑與心斗，天下暴喪，期三年。”《洛書》曰：“熒惑守心，成鉤己，不言王命；凶。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑守心，海內哭。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence joins with the Heart mansion, the sovereign will die; if not dead, he must flee; it also says that a new emperor will come to take his place. Xi Meng says: The Malefic of violence produces a sharppointed rays, like a sword blade, passing between the two stars of the Horn mansion, advancing and retreating without stopping, lingering near the Heart mansion, indicating hidden troops in array. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence passes through the Heart mansion, the people throughout the land will suffer from famine. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence contends with the Heart mansion (when the two stars approach closely and their lights intersect, it is called 'contention'), there will be sudden deaths throughout the land, and this will occur within three years. The Luo Writing says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion and forms the shape of 'gou ji', the royal decree cannot be carried out, which is a great calamity. The Spring Annals Wei says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, there will be wailing throughout the four seas.

（案班固《天文志》曰：漢高帝十二年春，熒惑守心，四月宮車晏駕。韋昭曰：凡初崩為晏駕者，臣子之心，猶謂宮車當駕而出也。《宋書天文志》曰：晉武帝太康八年三月，熒惑守心，永熙元年四月乙酉，武帝薨。光熙元年九月丁末，熒惑守心，十一月，惠帝崩。）

According to the notes in the original text: According to Ban Gu's Records of the Grand Historian: Heavenly Officials, in the twelfth year of Emperor Gao of Han, in spring, the planet Mars was stationed at the Heart Star; by April, Emperor Gao died. Wei Zhao explained that whenever a ruler has just died and is referred to as "Yan Jia" (a euphemism for death), it is due to the feelings of the ministers, who still regarded the imperial chariot as delayed in departing, rather than directly stating that the ruler had died. The Book of the Later Han: Records of the Heavenly Officials records that in the third month of the eighth year of Tai Kang of Emperor Wu of Jin, the planet Mars was stationed at the Heart Star; by the fourth month of Yong Xi Year One, Emperor Wu died. In the ninth month of Guang Xi Year One of Emperor Hui of Jin, the planet Mars was stationed at the Heart Star; by November, Emperor Hui died.

石氏曰：“熒惑守心，大人易政，主動其宮。”（案《史記》曰：宋景公時，熒惑守心，子韋曰：禍當君，雖然可移於宰相。公曰：相、吾之股肱，所與治國家。曰：可移於民。公曰：民死，寡人將誰為君。子韋曰：可移於歲飢。公曰：歲飢，民困，民誰以我為君。子韋曰：天居高而聽卑，君有至德之言，天必三賞。君熒惑果徙三舍，行七星，星當一年，君壽延二十一年。）

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Heart star, the great official in high position should change his decrees, and the sovereign will move from his palace. (Original commentary: According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the Song Duke Jinggong was on the throne when the Malefic of violence was stationed at the Heart star. The star official Ziwei said: The calamity should be upon the sovereign, but it can be transferred to the prime minister. Jinggong said: The prime minister is my vital organ, a man who governs the state with me. Ziwei said: It can be transferred to the common people. Jinggong said: If the common people die, to whom shall I be the sovereign? Ziwei said: It can be transferred to the harvest, causing famine. Jinggong said: If there is famine and the people are in hardship, who shall acknowledge me as the sovereign? Ziwei said: Although heaven is high, it can hear the voices below. The sovereign has spoken these three most virtuous words, heaven will surely bestow upon you three times. The Malefic of violence indeed moved three camps, one camp being seven stars, one star corresponding to one year, and Jinggong thus lived twenty-one more years.)

《海中占》曰：“火守心，色赤，有兵，臣謀其主；黑、主死；白，謀臣有賜爵者；青，大人有憂。”石氏曰：“熒惑守心，天子走，失位；入心，必見血；其國庫兵出，天下士半死，五月大旱，二十日不下，天子有令，有憂；布大貴。”《雒書雒罪級》曰：“熒惑守心，有必有逆臣起。”石氏曰：“熒惑守心時，王將軍為亂。”

The Sea in the Middle text says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, if the star appears red and bright, there will be military conflicts, and ministers will plot against their sovereign; if the star appears dark black, the sovereign will die; if the star appears white, among the ministers who plot, some will be granted titles; if the star appears green, the superior person in power will have worries. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, the Son of Heaven will flee and lose his position; when the Malefic of violence deeply enters the Heart mansion, bloodshed will certainly occur; in that country, all the weapons in the military storehouse will be used out, half of the soldiers will die, there will be a great drought in May, the Malefic of violence will not descend for twenty days, the Son of Heaven will issue an edict, which will contain words of anxiety; the price of silk and cloth will rise greatly. The Luo Book of Crimes and Grades says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, there will certainly be a rebellion by a minister. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, the royal general will rebel.

甘氏曰：“熒惑守心，大臣為變，謀其主，諸侯皆起。”又占曰：“熒惑守心，成鉤已及環繞之，天子失其宮，期六月。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守心，萬物不成，土功興；一曰歲水。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守心，天下大吟，居之三月，有殃；五月，受兵；十月，其野亡。”石氏曰：“熒惑守心，成鉤已，期三月，大臣反；攻戰不將軍死。”

The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Heart mansion, ministers will incite rebellion and plot against their sovereign, and the feudal princes will rise up in arms. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Heart mansion and forms the shape of 'hooked hand', or circles around the Heart mansion, the Son of Heaven will lose his palace, and this will occur within six months. The Wu Xian school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Heart mansion, all things will not mature, and construction projects will be initiated; another interpretation says that there will be much rain that year. The "Sea in the Middle" divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Heart mansion, the people throughout the land will suffer and groan; if it stays at the Heart mansion for three months, there will be calamity; for five months, there will be military disaster; for ten months, the region corresponding to that mansion will be destroyed. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Heart mansion and forms the shape of 'hooked hand', it will occur within three months, and ministers will rebel; once warfare ensues, generals will inevitably die (the character 'not' is possibly a later addition).

《海中占》曰：“熒惑守心，南為水，北為旱。”又占曰：“熒惑守心，民流亡。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守心，南有小男喪；守北，有小女喪。”又曰：“以十月守心北，不出其歲，國有大喪；以十月守心，期六十日，有辱主；一曰皆起兵。”又占曰：“熒惑守心，為侵陽；守心上下星，名倖臣；驂乘者有事。”

The Sea of the Sea divination text says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, if it is in the southern position, it indicates water disaster; if it is in the northern position, it indicates drought. Another divination text says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, the common people will be displaced and flee. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion in the southern position, there will be the death of young boys; when it guards the Heart mansion in the northern position, there will be the death of young girls. It also says: If in the tenth month the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion in the northern position, disaster will occur within the same year, and there will be great mourning in the country; if in the tenth month the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, within sixty days, there will be disgrace to the sovereign; another interpretation says that both the northern and southern positions indicate military action. Another divination text says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, it is an omen of violating the yang position; when the Malefic of violence guards the two stars above and below the Heart mansion, it indicates the favored minister; the person accompanying the sovereign in the carriage will have an accident.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守心，大人惡之。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守心，有反者，從太子起；一曰九卿為害。”又曰：“大國兵四起，天子軍破。”又曰：“二十日，相死。”又曰：“守心，留十日，后死。”又曰：“守心三十日，有女喪。”郗萌曰；“熒惑守心房間，三十日地動。”又占曰：“熒惑守心，有反者，從宗家。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Heart mansion, it is most ominous for the high-ranking official in a superior position. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Heart mansion, there will be rebels, and the rebellion will originate from the太子's house, because the star preceding the Heart mansion is the position of the太子, hence this interpretation; another interpretation says that the Nine Ministers will be harmed. It also says: A great state will have armies rising from all four directions, and the emperor's army will be defeated. It also says: If the Malefic of violence remains in the Heart mansion for twenty days, the chancellor will die. It also says: If the Malefic of violence stays in the Heart mansion for ten days, the empress will die. It also says: If the Malefic of violence remains in the Heart mansion for thirty days, there will be the death of a woman. Xi Meng also says: When the Malefic of violence is between the Heart mansion and the Room mansion, there will be an earthquake within thirty days. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Heart mansion, there will be rebels, and the rebellion will originate from the royal family.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉元康九年六月，熒惑守心，八月入羽林，後二年，趙王廢惠帝，為太上皇，俄而三王起兵，討趙王倫，倫悉起中軍，兵相拒，累月也。）《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守心，色黑，有兵必敗。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守心，期三十日，彗星出王都，西南指。”《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑守心，為飢。”（案袁宏《漢紀》曰：安帝永初元年五月戊寅，熒惑逆行，守心，三年三月，京都飢，人相食。）

According to the original commentary: The "Book of the Later Han, Records of Astronomy" states that in the sixth month of the ninth year of Yuankang during the reign of Emperor Xian of Jin, the planet Mars occupied the Heart Star, and in the eighth month it entered the Yu Lin camp. In the following two years, Prince Sima Lun of the House of Zhao deposed Emperor Xian, and elevated him to the position of Taishang Huang. Soon afterwards, Princes Zi Qi, Chengdu and Hejian raised armies to attack Sima Lun. Sima Lun mobilized his entire army to resist, and the two sides faced each other for several months. The "Jingming Divination" says: When Mars occupies the Heart Star, the star appears dark, and if there is military action, it will surely result in defeat. Chen Zhuo says: When Mars occupies the Heart Star, the period of occurrence is thirty days, and a comet will appear in the sky over the capital, with its tail pointing to the southwest. The "Xuanming Divination" says: When Mars occupies the Heart Star, it indicates famine. (Original commentary: According to Yuan Hong's "Later Han Chronicle," on the fifth day of the first month in the first year of Yongchu during the reign of Emperor An of Han, Mars retrograded and occupied the Heart Star; by the third month of the third year of Yongchu, the capital experienced a famine, and people ate people.)

《春秋緯說題辭》曰：“熒惑守心，主死，天下大潰。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑逆行而西，守心二十日，大臣為亂。”（袁宏《漢紀》曰：安帝永初元年五月戊寅，熒惑逆行，守心，司空周章謀，誅鄧騭兄弟，廢太后，及上立平原王為帝，事發覺，自殺。）

The Spring Annals Commentary: "When the Malefic of violence guards the Heart mansion, the sovereign will die, and the whole world will follow with collapse like a broken tile." The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: "The Malefic of violence should normally move eastward, but now it moves westward, and stays for twenty days at the Heart mansion, indicating disorder among ministers." (Original book note: Yuan Hong's Later Han Chronicle records that in the first year of Yongchou of Emperor Huan of Han, on the fifth month's戊寅 day, the Malefic of violence moved westward and guarded the Heart mansion; under the same celestial phenomenon, the Minister of Works Zhou Zhang plotted to kill the eunuchs Deng Zhi and his brothers, and to depose the regent Dowager Deng and Emperor Huan, replacing him with Prince Pingyuan as emperor. The plot was uncovered, and Zhou Zhang committed suicide. This is a clear example of "disorder among ministers.")

石氏曰：“熒惑逆行守心，哭泣涔涔，主命惡之，國有大喪與兵，（案司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝靈中平三年四月，熒惑逆行守心，後三年，而靈帝崩。）國易政。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行守心，旱，失火。”陳卓曰：“熒惑逆而行心，地震。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑逆行守心，環繞成鉤己，皆為大人忌，期六月，以赦解之。”石氏曰：“熒惑逆行守心中央大星，有白衣之會。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and guards the Heart mansion, there will be continuous weeping and flowing tears. This omen is most dangerous for the sovereign's life. The country will experience great mourning and military conflicts. According to the notes in the original text: According to Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena," in the fourth month of the third year of the Zhongping era of Emperor Ling of Han, the Malefic of violence moved retrograde and guarded the Heart mansion; afterwards, in the next three years, Emperor Ling died. The country therefore changed its policies. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and guards the Heart mansion, it indicates drought and fire disasters. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde across the Heart mansion, it indicates an earthquake. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and guards the Heart mansion, moving in a spiral forming the shape of 'gou ji', these are omens most feared by those in high positions. The predicted time is six months, and this can be mitigated by issuing an amnesty. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and stays near the central star of the Heart mansion, there will be gatherings of people wearing plain clothes for mourning.

巫咸曰：“熒惑犯乘守心明堂，大臣當之；在陽為燕，在陰為胡，一曰有火異。”郗萌曰：“熒惑中犯乘守心明常，為萬民備火，近期一年，中期三年，遠期九年；一曰旱。”又占曰：“熒惑中犯乘守庶子，女主勢行。”又占曰：“熒惑中犯乘守蝕心右星，為庶子有憂，若死。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence invades, dominates, and guards the Heart mansion Bright Hall (the central bright star of the Heart mansion is called the Bright Hall, which symbolizes the position of the heavenly king). Disaster and blame will fall upon the ministers; if it occurs in the yang position, it will affect Yan territory; if in the yin position, it will affect Hu territory; another interpretation suggests an unusual fire. Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence directly invades, dominates, and guards the Heart mansion Bright Hall (the original text says 'ming chang', meaning 'Bright Hall'), all people should be on alert for fire disasters. The effect will be evident within one year, moderate within three years, and distant within nine years; another interpretation suggests a drought. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence directly invades, dominates, and guards the Shuzi star (the star of the son of a concubine) (a star representing a son of a concubine, a son of a concubine), the power of the female ruler will prevail in the court. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence directly invades, dominates, and guards and obscures the right star of the Heart mansion, the son of a concubine will have worries, even leading to death.

又占曰：“熒惑中犯乘守太子星，天心明堂星，有大喪。”又曰：“中國有小憂；一曰宋憂。”又曰：“中犯乘守太子星，天天大赦。”又占曰：“熒惑中犯乘守心明堂，成鉤已，為大人憂，近期十月，遠期三年，以赦令解之。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑留逆犯守乘凌心星，王者宮中亂，臣下有謀易立天子者，權在宗家得勢大臣。”

Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence is directly in the center, conflicting, overpowering, and guarding the Prince Star, as well as the Bright Hall Star of the Heart Mansion, there will be a great calamity. It also says: The central state will have minor troubles; another interpretation suggests it should be in the State of Song. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence is directly in the center, conflicting, overpowering, and guarding the Prince Star, there will be a great amnesty (the original text has a repetition of 'day'). Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence is directly in the center, conflicting, overpowering, and guarding the Heart Mansion and Bright Hall stars, forming the shape of 'gou ji', the person in high position will have worries. The trouble will be fulfilled within ten months, or three years if it is further away. An amnesty can be used to resolve it. The "Sea Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence stays, moves backward, invades, guards, and overpowers the Heart Mansion and other stars, there will be turmoil in the king's palace. Ministers will plot to replace the Son of Heaven. The great power will fall into the hands of the royal family and powerful ministers.

《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入尾三月，客兵聚。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入尾，宮中有讒諛之臣。”又占曰：“熒惑入尾箕，九州當之；甲乙日入，東方有咎，丙丁日入，南方有咎；戊已日入，中央有咎；庚辛日入，西方有咎；壬癸日入，北方有咎。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Tail mansion, foreign troops gather outside. The Tail mansion has nine stars, which correspond to the residence of the imperial concubines, and also belong to the region of the燕 (Yan) state, so when the Malefic of violence invades the Tail mansion, it mostly relates to affairs concerning the palace and the concubines. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Tail mansion, there will be ministers in the palace who spread slander and flattery. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Tail and Winnowing Basket mansions, all the nine provinces will suffer its consequences; if it enters on a Jia or Yi day, there will be calamity in the East; if on Bing or Ding day, calamity in the South; if on Wu or Ji day, calamity in the Center; if on Geng or Xin day, calamity in the West; if on Ren or Gui day, calamity in the North—this is how the ten heavenly stems are matched with the five directions to determine where the effects will manifest.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入尾，縑帛貴，將相人民，離其城郭。”《東官侯》曰：“熒惑入尾，後宮不憂，後惡之；一曰倖臣亂宮。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行尾者，失火；一曰大水。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行尾，其君淫溢。”郗萌曰：“熒惑在尾，與辰星相近，天下牢開，大赦。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑繞尾踟躕，則以妾為妻。”

The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Tail mansion, the price of fine silk and brocade will rise, and ministers and common people will all leave their cities. The book Dongguan Hou says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Tail mansion, the imperial harem will not be at peace, and the empress is most afraid of this omen; another interpretation says that favored court ministers will disrupt the palace. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde in the Tail mansion, there will be a fire; another interpretation says it signifies a great flood. The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence is retrograde in the Tail mansion, the king will indulge in excess and debauchery. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence is in the Tail mansion and close to the planet of water, the prisons will release prisoners and there will be a great amnesty. The book Wenyaogou says: When the Malefic of violence circles around the Tail mansion without moving forward, it signifies that a concubine will be elevated to the position of empress, and the order between the principal wife and concubines will be reversed.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入尾犯乘之，天有有戰兵。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑居尾陽，其國有喜；居陰，有憂。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑留尾箕，臣下淫亂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑舍司空三日，馬多死；一曰牛多死；一曰芻大貴。”齊伯曰：“熒惑出入留舍尾，其國且無人，兵雖起，不用；吉。其國繕城郭。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The Malefic of violence enters the Tail mansion and invades and overpowers it, and there will be warfare and military calamity throughout the land. The *Yellow River Chart* says: When the Malefic of violence is in the yang position of the Tail mansion, the country will have joy; when it is in the yin position, there will be misfortune. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Tail mansion and the Winnowing Basket mansion, ministers will be licentious. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence remains in the Star of the Minister of Works for three days, many horses will die; another account says many cattle will die; yet another says that fodder will be expensive. Qi Bo says: When the Malefic of violence enters, exits, stays, or remains in the Tail mansion, the country will have a sparse population, and although military actions may arise, they will not be used; this is actually a favorable omen. The country will repair its city walls for self-defense.

石氏曰：“熒惑守尾，歲多妖祥。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守尾，皇后恐。”又曰：“人民為變國、易政，兵始動。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守尾，天下大飢，人相食；一曰留十日，後忌。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守尾，下凌上，君弱臣強，奸臣賊子謀弒其主，人民多死喪。”又曰：“後宮干政。”又曰：“以十月守尾中央，六十日天下發兵，車騎行，守端三十日，發士卒。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Tail mansion, there will be many strange and ominous phenomena in that year. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Tail mansion, the queen will be afraid and uneasy. It also says: The people will rise up in rebellion, the state will change its policies, and military actions will begin. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Tail mansion, the whole country will suffer a great famine, leading to people eating people. Another interpretation says that if it stays for ten days, the queen will be in danger. Wu Xian also says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Tail mansion, this indicates a lower position overpowering a higher one, the ruler is weak while the ministers are strong, and wicked ministers and villains plot to kill their sovereign. It also says: The palace women interfere in state affairs — the Tail mansion is the position of the concubines and queens, so calamities will repeatedly occur within the palace. It also says: If the Malefic of violence stays at the central part of the Tail mansion in the tenth month, there will be military movements within sixty days, with chariots and soldiers moving; if it stays at the end of the Tail mansion for thirty days, soldiers will be conscripted.

又占曰：“熒惑守尾，人君為憂，大臣作亂者，反逆從大將家起，期二十日。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守尾，天下稱兵。”又占曰：“熒惑守尾，二十日，宮中匿謀，嬪妾有讒後者；一曰滿二日，光明相及，為女主。”

Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Tail mansion, the sovereign will be troubled, and there will be ministers who conspire against the state; rebellion will start from the households of high generals, and the calamity will occur within twenty days. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Tail mansion, the whole country will raise armies to attack each other. Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Tail mansion for twenty days, there is a hidden plot in the palace, and among the concubines and attendants there are those who slander and harm the empress; another view is that if the Malefic of violence stays for only two days and its light connects with that of the Tail mansion, the calamity will fall upon the female ruler.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守九江，赤地千里，人民浪亡，穀貴三倍，藥草再倍，布貴。臣有毒弒其君，大臣反守尾，宮中匿謀，後妾相妒，三公九卿奸，大將有反。”《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑守尾，後宮有相害者，期百二十日。”又曰：“熒惑守尾，舟船相望。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守尾、箕，九卿當之，期二十日。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence guards the nine rivers stars (the four stars beneath the Tail mansion, which preside over waterways and boats), there will be a thousand miles of scorched land where not even a blade of grass grows, and the people will scatter everywhere. Grain prices will rise threefold, medicinal herbs will double in price, and silk and cloth will also be expensive. Ministers will use poison to kill their sovereign, senior officials will take up positions in the Tail mansion, plots will be hidden within the palace, and the concubines and palace women will be jealous of each other. The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers will be dominated by wicked ministers, and generals will rebel. The *Xuanming Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Tail mansion, there will be people in the palace who harm each other, and this will occur within 120 days. It also says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Tail mansion, ships will come and go continuously. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Tail mansion and the Winnowing Basket mansion, calamity will fall upon the Nine Ministers, and this will occur within 20 days.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑逆行守尾，久者有兵起，車騎聚於道，大臣宮人為亂。國易政。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守尾，為女主夫人妃后惡之。”又占曰：“熒惑留逆犯守乘凌尾，皇后有以珠玉簪珥惑天子者，誣讒大起，后相貴臣誅，宮人出走，兵起宮門。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Writings say: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and stays at the Tail mansion, there will be military actions, with troops and cavalry gathering on the roads, ministers and palace attendants conspiring together, and the state changing its policies. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the Tail mansion, it is most ominous for the female sovereign, the queen, the concubines, and the empress. Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence stays, moves retrograde, invades, stays at, or overpowers the Tail mansion, there will be a woman in the imperial harem who uses jewels and ornaments to seduce the emperor, leading to widespread slander and false accusations. The empress, the prime minister, and prominent officials will be executed, palace attendants will flee, and weapons will be drawn within the palace gates.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑犯箕，女主、宮人有憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑惑犯箕，天下國相擊，男不得耕，女不得織，牛馬大死。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑入箕，主失位。”又曰：“天下大亂，兵起。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉永康元年八月，熒惑入箕，明年趙王纂位，改元年，尋為大兵所滅。）

The Spring and Autumn Writings state: The Malefic of violence invades the Winnowing Basket mansion, causing worry for the female ruler and the palace attendants. The Winnowing Basket mansion consists of four stars shaped like a winnowing basket, which represents the palace of the concubines, and also governs speech and the winds from all directions. Therefore, when the Malefic of violence invades the Winnowing Basket mansion, it often results in slander and disputes concerning speech, as well as abnormal weather and storms. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence invades the Winnowing Basket mansion (the original text has the word 'fluorescent' repeated), all the states attack each other, men cannot till the fields, women cannot weave cloth, and large numbers of cattle and horses die. The Spring and Autumn Writings also state: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion, the ruler loses his position. It also says: The whole country experiences great chaos and military conflicts arise. (Original commentary: According to the Records of the Song Dynasty's Astronomical Records, in the eighth month of the first year of Yongkang of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, the Malefic of violence entered the Winnowing Basket mansion; the next year, Prince Sima Lun usurped the throne and changed the era name, but was soon overthrown by the armies that rose against him.)

石氏曰：“熒惑入箕，箕中一星，民莫處其室；養者，星在箕南；旱在箕北；有年在箕踵者，歲熟。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入箕中，伺其出日而數之；期二十日，兵發；伺始入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入箕，盜大起，多鬥死者，歲不熟。”又占曰：“熒惑入箕，后族有口舌事，期六月；入箕中，倉粟出。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion, if it is considered merely as one star within the mansion, the people will be unable to dwell in their own houses. The one that presides over the gathering and rest is when the Malefic of violence is in the southern part of the Winnowing Basket mansion. The one that presides over drought is when it is in the northern part. The one that presides over a bountiful harvest is when it is in the 'Ji Zhong' (the bottom opposite the mouth of the Winnowing Basket mansion), at which time the five grains will mature. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion, one should pay attention to the day it leaves and count the number of days. The appointed time is twenty days, when military actions are launched. Then, according to the initial position it entered, one should calculate, with each day of its entry equating to ten days of the appointed time, at which time the army will disperse. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion, bandits will rise in great numbers, there will be many cases of fighting and death. The harvest will be poor. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion, the families of the maternal relatives will have disputes and quarrels, the appointed time is six months. If it enters deeply into the Winnowing Basket mansion, the granaries will have to release their stored grain.

石氏曰：“熒惑出箕，谷大貴，天下大旱，飢死。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出天梁，守箕，大赦。”又占曰：“熒惑逆行箕，失火，諸侯相謀。”《春秋圖》曰：“熒惑之箕，有小赦。”郗萌曰：“熒惑舍箕，用事者坐之。”又占曰：“熒惑舍司空，三十日，牛車大出，馬牛大死，芻大貴；又曰留守箕，後宮干政，若有憂；又曰臣下淫亂。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence moves out of the Winnowing Basket mansion, grain prices rise sharply, there is a great drought throughout the land, and some people die of starvation. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence comes out from the Shelter star and longevity star and stays at the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates a great amnesty. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence moves backward in the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates fires, and the princes plot against each other. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" says: When the Malefic of violence reaches the Winnowing Basket mansion, there will be a small-scale amnesty. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Winnowing Basket mansion, the person in power will be punished for this. Another divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the司空 star for thirty days, large numbers of ox carts are moved out, many horses and cattle die, and the price of fodder rises sharply; it also says that if it stays and guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the imperial harem will interfere in government affairs, or there will be calamities; it also mentions that ministers will be corrupt and licentious.

又占曰：“熒惑出入留舍箕，天下有兵事，君臣屬騎相速，吏民相攻，其國失地二百里；又曰禾豆不成。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守箕左，歲惡，天下勞。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕，燕王有疾；一曰內變。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑守箕，主恐；又曰人民飢糟糠；又曰其國更市。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕，天下分離，臣子謀，咎在人主自恣。”

Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence is in the Winnowing Basket mansion, entering, staying, or resting there, there will be warfare in the world. The sovereign and ministers will each lead their cavalry and attract each other, leading to mutual attacks. Officials and common people will fight each other, and the country will lose land for two hundred li. It also says that grain and beans will not mature. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the left side of the Winnowing Basket mansion, the harvest will be poor and the people will suffer hardship. Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the prince of Yan will fall ill; another interpretation says there will be a change within the palace. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the sovereign will be afraid; it also says the people will be so hungry that they can only eat moldy rice and bran; it also says the country will have to change its marketplaces. Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the world will break apart, ministers will plot rebellion, and the root of the disaster lies in the sovereign's reckless behavior.

《孝經緯》曰：“熒惑守箕，多土功事，小旱；雨澤霜露不時，歲為中。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑十月守箕，天下大赦；守箕前，其國惡；守後，糴貴三倍。”石氏曰：“熒惑守箕主惡。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守箕，大旱。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑以十月守箕，名曰火入水，萬民飢死，穀價五倍，天下大赦。”

The Xiao Jing Wei says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, there will be many earthworks and construction projects, with slight drought; rain, frost, dew and mist all occur out of season, and the harvest will be of medium quality. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence is in October and guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the whole country will be pardoned; those who guard the front part of the Winnowing Basket mansion will have calamity in their country; those who guard the back part will have grain prices rising threefold. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, the sovereign will have misfortune. The Hai Zhong Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, it indicates a great drought. The Hai Zhong Divination also says: When the Malefic of violence is in October and guards the Winnowing Basket mansion, this is called 'Fire entering Water' —— October is the Month Builder of Hai, which belongs to Water, while the planet of fire, the Malefic of violence, invades it, resulting in conflict between water and fire —— the common people will starve and die, grain prices will rise fivefold, and the whole country will be pardoned afterwards.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守箕，貴臣亂其國，主有淫事；一曰攻急。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕，貴人多病死；一曰主恐；又曰地動；守三月，彗星出。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕，歲水。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕、若留止箕口中，兵起，有兵罷。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守箕，有大淫事，九卿當之，若狐狢有憂。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays in Ji, indicating a powerful minister who disturbs his country, and the ruler has licentious affairs; another interpretation says there will be urgent warfare. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence stays in Ji, indicating many high officials will suffer illness and death; another interpretation says the ruler will be fearful; it also says there will be an earthquake; after waiting for three months, a comet will appear. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence stays in Ji, indicating there will be much rain in the current year. Another divination says: The Malefic of violence stays in Ji, either remaining in the mouth of Ji or initiating military affairs, followed by a cessation of warfare. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The Malefic of violence stays in Ji, indicating great licentious affairs, and calamity will fall upon the Nine Ministers; another interpretation says that tribes wearing northern fur clothing (a reference to northern border tribes) will have worries.

《黃帝占》曰：熒惑守箕中守之，天下兵起，吏民相攻，士卒半死，人民流亡，不居其鄉，其國失地。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守箕，去復還守之，貴臣有誅亂主者。國有土功之急，貴人多死，大水萬里，澤為海，橋樑不通。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入箕中，若守箕，宮中口舌之事；倉穀出，三月、六月。”又占曰：“熒惑守箕，去復還守之，天下飢，期不出三年中。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入箕守之，若犯乘箕，牛馬多疾，北夷來降。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the Winnowing Basket mansion and stays within it, warfare will break out across the land, officials and common people will attack each other, half of the soldiers will die, the people will flee and be unable to live in their homeland, and the country will lose its territory. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion and later returns to stay there, there will be a virtuous minister who will kill the rebellious ruler. Within the country, there will be urgent construction projects, many high-ranking people will die, great floods will spread for ten thousand miles, swamps will become the sea, and bridges will be impassable. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Winnowing Basket mansion or stays within it, there will be disputes within the palace; grain stored in granaries should be distributed, and this should happen in the third and sixth months.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯南斗，為赦；又曰破軍殺將。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯南斗，且有反臣，道路不通，丞相有事。”（案司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝順永和二年八月庚子，熒惑犯南斗，明年五月，吳郡太守羊珍等起兵反，殺吏民，燒宮室，太守王衡拒殺珍等，又江賊蔡伯流等數百人，攻廬陵、九江、燒滅城郭，殺都尉。）

The Shi school says that the Malefic of violence invading the Southern Dipper portends an amnesty; it also indicates that the army will be defeated and generals will be executed. The six stars of the Southern Dipper are the celestial temple, which governs titles, honors, and longevity, and corresponds to the region of Wu-Yue. Therefore, the fulfillment of the following statements often involves the areas of Wu-Yue and the positions of chancellors and generals. The "Sea Divination" says that when the Malefic of violence invades the Southern Dipper, there will be rebellious ministers, blocked roads, and troubles for the chancellor. (Original book note: According to Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena," in the second year of Yonghe during Emperor Shun's reign, on the Gengzi day of the eighth month, the Malefic of violence invaded the Southern Dipper. In the following year, in the fifth month, rebels named Yang Zhen and others in Wu Commandery rose up in rebellion, killing officials and civilians, burning government offices and palaces. The governor Wang Heng resisted and executed Yang Zhen and others. There were also hundreds of bandits named Cai Boyou and others on the Yangtze River who attacked Luling and Jiujiang, burning towns and killing the military commanders.)

《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑入南斗口，將相有謀反者。”石氏曰：“熒惑入南斗，三月，吳王死；二月，王后死；一月，相死。不死出走；又曰大國之臣，外內謀大亂。”

The Shengqie Fu says: When the Malefic of violence enters the mouth of the Southern Dipper, there will be someone among the ministers who plots rebellion. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Southern Dipper and lasts for three months, the king of Wu will die; if it lasts for two months, the queen mother will die; if it lasts for one month, the prime minister will die. These people will not die but will flee; it also says that the great ministers of the state will collude inside and outside, plotting great chaos.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：吳王赤鳥十三年五月，熒惑北至，逆行入南斗，犯魁第二星而東，大元二年月權薨，是時王陵謀立楚王彪。晉太安二年正月，熒惑入南斗，七月右衛將軍陳纁率眾奉帝伐成都王，大軍敗績，兵逼乘輿。九月王又攻成都王於鄴，鄴兵潰，成都由是衰亡，帝還洛，張方又脅如長安，時天下盜賊群起，張昌尤甚。）

According to the annotations in the original text: According to the Records of the Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Officials, in the thirteenth year of Wu Emperor's Chugǔ period, the Malefic of violence moved northward, retrograde into the Southern Dipper, conflicting with the second star of the Dipper's handle, then moved eastward; in the second year of Taíyuán, Sun Quan died, at that time Wang Ling of the state of Wei was secretly plotting to replace the crown prince with Prince Cao Biao of the state of Chu. In the second year of Taí'ān during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, the Malefic of violence entered the Southern Dipper; in July, General Chen Zhen of the Right Guards led his troops to escort Emperor Hui against the Prince of Chengdu, Sima Ying, but the army suffered a defeat, and the troops advanced directly towards the imperial carriage. In September, the Malefic of violence attacked the Prince of Chengdu again in the city of Yè, where the enemy forces scattered, and the Prince of Chengdu thus declined; Emperor Hui returned to Luoyang, but Zhang Fang forced him westward to Chang'an. At that time, bandits rose up all over the country, among whom Zhang Chang was the most rampant.

甘氏曰：“熒惑入南斗中，國大亂，兵大起。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝順嘉平元年十月，熒惑入南斗中，其十一月，會稽賊詐昭聚眾，自稱大將軍，昭父坐為越王，攻破郡縣也。）熒惑入南斗口中，大臣反被誅者，若將相出走。”

The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Southern Dipper, the country will experience great chaos and large-scale military uprisings. (Original book note: According to司马彪's "Continued Book of Han · Astronomical Records," in the first year of Jiaping of Emperor Shun of Han, in the tenth month, the Malefic of violence entered the Southern Dipper; in the same month of November, bandits from Kuaiji, named Xu Zhao, gathered a crowd to rebel, claiming the title of Grand General, and also honored his father as the King of Yue, attacking and breaking through prefectures and counties.) When the Malefic of violence enters the mouth of the Dipper, ministers will rebel and be executed, or chancellors and ministers will flee.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入南斗，國飢；熒惑入南斗口中，立太子；期不出百二十日。熒惑入南斗，天下受爵祿，期六十日；若九十日熒惑逆行，三芒，入鬥口中，必有亡國，死主。”《玉曆》曰：“逆行，角，入鬥口中，必有大喪。”郗萌曰：“熒惑行南斗，有土功事。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑逆行南斗，怒動大明，天下大驚。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence entering the Southern Dipper indicates famine in the country; if the Malefic of violence enters the mouth of the Southern Dipper, it signifies the appointment of a crown prince, and the event will occur within no more than 120 days. When the Malefic of violence enters the Southern Dipper, all people in the country will receive grants of titles and salaries, and the event will occur within 60 days; if after 90 days the Malefic of violence is still retrograding and produces three sharp rays and enters the mouth of the Southern Dipper, there will certainly be a national calamity and the death of the king. The Jade Calendar says: When the Malefic of violence retrogrades and produces rays, and enters the mouth of the Southern Dipper, there will certainly be a great mourning. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence passes through the Southern Dipper, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood. The Sea of Divination says: When the Malefic of violence retrogrades in the Southern Dipper, its light is fierce and exceptionally bright, causing great alarm throughout the country.

郗萌曰：“熒惑過南斗，出斗上，行疾，天子憂，出斗下，行疾，臣有憂。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑入南斗，先潦、後大旱。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留南斗，無功者賞。”甘氏曰：“熒惑舍南斗之西，木果不實。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑舍南斗，環繞成鉤已，大尉、上卿、宰相死。”郗萌曰：“熒惑舍南斗之東，天下大戰，一曰守三十日，若君憂。”

Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence passes through the Southern Dipper, if it emerges from above the Dipper and moves swiftly, the sovereign will have worries; if it emerges from below the Dipper and moves swiftly, the ministers will have worries. The "Spring Annals Weave" says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Southern Dipper, there will first be floods, then a great drought follows. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Southern Dipper, those without merit will be rewarded instead - the Southern Dipper originally governs rank and salary, so the calamity will be on improper rewards. The Gan school said: When the Malefic of violence stays in the western part of the Southern Dipper, trees will not bear fruit. The "Sea of Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Southern Dipper, if it circles around and forms the shape of "gou ji", the Grand Minister, the Chief Minister, and the Chancellor will die. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence stays in the eastern part of the Southern Dipper, there will be a great war in the country; another view says if it stays for thirty days, the ruler will have worries.

《玉曆》曰：“熒惑出、入、留、舍斗魁之中，五日不下，天下有兵將；軍國易政，改元；不出一年，有兵事。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守南斗百日，五穀出，婦女轉漕，若有諸侯客來見天子者。熒惑守南斗，糴貴；又曰七日以上，太子疾；十二日以上，庶子當之；又曰去復還守之，吳越有憂，期不出三年。”

The Zulü states: When the Malefic of violence appears, disappears, stays, or resides in the handle of the Big Dipper, and refuses to descend for five days, there will be generals with armies in the world; the military and state will change their decrees and alter the era name; within a year, there will be military conflicts. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Southern Dipper for one hundred days, the grain stored in the granary will be distributed, with even women participating in transporting grain, or there will be visits from feudal lords and their guests to the Son of Heaven. When the Malefic of violence guards the Southern Dipper, grain prices will rise sharply; it also says that if it stays for more than seven days, the crown prince will fall ill; if it stays for more than twelve days, misfortune will fall upon the younger sons; it also says that if the Malefic of violence leaves and then returns to guard the Southern Dipper, there will be troubles in the regions of Wu and Yue, and this will occur within three years.

《河圖》曰：“熒惑守南斗，宰相坐之，有兵罷。熒惑逆行，守南斗，山崩；又曰兵車合，國君為帥。”石氏曰：“熒惑守南斗，百二日，大赦。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入南斗，若留守，所守之國當誅。”《五行傳》曰：“熒惑與斗，晨出東方，因留守斗，其國絕嗣。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Southern Dipper, the prime minister will be punished for this, and later there will be an event of ceasing military campaigns. When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and guards the Southern Dipper, it indicates mountain collapses; it also says that the meeting of military forces and chariots will occur, and the king will personally take command. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Southern Dipper for 102 days, it signifies a great amnesty. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Southern Dipper or stays there, the country corresponding to that region will be punished. The Five Phases Transmission says: When the Malefic of violence and the Southern Dipper are together, and it appears in the east in the morning and then stays at the Southern Dipper, that country will lose its descendants.

（《漢書》景帝元年七月丙戍、熒惑在斗，晨出東方，留守斗。後三年，吳王濞率七國舉反、漢太尉周亞夫敗之，滅國之應。）熒惑守南斗，為亂、為賊、為喪、為兵，守之久，其國絕嗣。”（漢武帝元鼎中，熒惑守南斗，是時南越王趙嬰齊、將入朝漢，其相呂嘉不願內屬，乃殺其王及王太后，舉兵反漢，遣六將軍將兵誅之，遂滅其國，置交州為七郡也。）

The original commentary notes: The "Book of Han" records that in the first year of Emperor Jing of Han, seventh month, on the day of Bingxu, the Malefic of violence appeared in the southern dipper, visible in the east in the morning, and remained stationed before the southern dipper; afterwards, for three years, Prince Liu Bi of Wu led seven states in rebellion, and General Zhou Yafu of Han defeated him, which was the fulfillment of the prophecy of "the destruction of a state." The main text then says: When the Malefic of violence guards the southern dipper, it signifies chaos, bandits, loss of life, and war. If it remains stationed for a long time, the state will lose its descendants. (Original commentary notes: During the Yu Ding period of Emperor Wu of Han, the Malefic of violence guarded the southern dipper; at that time, King Zhao Yingqi of Nan Yue was about to pay homage to the Han court, but his chancellor Li Jia did not wish to submit to the central government, so he killed King Zhao Yingqi and the queen mother, and raised an army against Han. The Han court sent six generals to attack, eventually destroying Nan Yue, establishing the Jiao State, and dividing it into seven commanderies.)

《海中占》曰：“熒惑守南斗、旱、多火災。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守南斗，留二十日，大人憂；守三十日，有德令。”郗萌曰：“熒惑以十月守南斗三十日，民介冑不出，一百日，其國有亡兵。熒惑守南斗，有內變，期一年。熒惑守南斗，地動；嬰兒多疾死，關梁不通；留二十日以上出復；大人憂，期五月。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守南斗，五穀不成，期百二十日；又曰熒惑守南斗，且有廢臣，天下大亂，道路不通；一曰上官吏死。”

The Sea of the Sea Divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper, it indicates drought and many fires. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper for twenty days, the high-ranking officials will have worries; if it stays for thirty days, there will be an imperial decree promoting virtuous governance. Xi Meng also says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper for thirty days in the tenth lunar month, the people will have to wear armor and helmets and dare not go out; if it stays for a hundred days, the country will suffer from military losses and casualties. When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper, there will be internal changes in the palace, and the event will occur within a year. When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper, there will be an earthquake; many infants will fall ill and die, and the passes and bridges will be blocked; if it stays for more than twenty days and then leaves and returns, the high-ranking officials will have worries, and the event will occur within five months. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper, the five grains will not mature, and the event will occur within one hundred twenty days; he also says that when the Malefic of violence stays at the Southern Dipper, there will be a minister who will be dismissed, great chaos throughout the land, and roads will be blocked; another view is that the superior officials will die.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯牽牛，其國之君，必有外其大臣。”陳卓曰：“熒惑犯牽牛，臣謀主。”石氏曰：“熒惑入牽牛中四月，越主死。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入牽牛，糴大貴。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“熒惑入留牽牛，三日不出，越王為強兵所逐。”陳卓曰：“熒惑入牽牛三月，若四月，齊王死；一曰晉王當之。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence invading "Chou" (the Ox) indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will certainly distance and reject his ministers. The six stars of Chou govern border passes, rivers, ferries, and sacrificial offerings, and it belongs to the region corresponding to Wu and Yue, so the following statements frequently relate to the King of Yue, cattle and horses, and sacrificial animals. Chen Zhuo said: The Malefic of violence invading Chou indicates that ministers plot against the king. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence enters Chou and stays for four months, the king of Yue will die. Wu Xian said: When the Malefic of violence enters Chou, grain prices will rise sharply. The "Commentary on the Twenty-Eight Constellations and Mountains" said: When the Malefic of violence enters and stays in Chou for three days without leaving, the King of Yue will be expelled by a powerful army. Chen Zhuo said: When the Malefic of violence enters Chou for three or four months, the King of Qi will die; another view says the misfortune falls on the King of Jin.

郗萌曰：“熒惑乘牽牛，為天下有大水起，穀貴，人相棄於道。”《挺輔占》曰：“牽牛為令天下者，熒惑居陽，則喜；居陰，則憂。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑出入留舍牽牛，春旱、秋水；一曰關梁不通。”齊伯曰：“熒惑出入留舍牽牛，三十日不下，薪蒿有急，牛且大貴；進行十度以上，至三十度；不出百六十日，客兵來。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence is in the constellation of the Ox, indicating that great floods will arise, grain prices will rise sharply, and people will abandon each other on the roads. The text "Ting Fu Zhan" says: The Ox constellation relates to the issuing of commands throughout the world. If the Malefic of violence is in its yang position, there will be joy; if in its yin position, there will be sorrow. The text "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: If the Malefic of violence is in the Ox constellation, moving in and out, stopping, or staying, there will be drought in spring and much rain in autumn; another interpretation says that the pass and bridge will be blocked. Qi Bo said: If the Malefic of violence is in the Ox constellation, moving in and out, stopping, or staying, and does not descend for thirty days, there will be a shortage of firewood and grass, and the price of cattle will rise sharply; if it moves forward more than ten degrees up to thirty degrees, then within one hundred and sixty days, foreign troops will come.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守牽牛，民為亂，貴人多死。”石氏曰：“熒惑守牽牛，民餓，有自賣者。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守牽牛，為多火災；又曰牛大疫，多有死者，災非一國，牛貴十倍（石氏曰三倍），道無行牛；一曰當有稅牛之役。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守牽牛，為旱。熒惑守牽牛，有急行；又曰歲多雨露。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Ox, the common people will rise up in rebellion, and many of the powerful will die. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Ox, the common people will suffer from hunger, leading to many selling themselves into slavery. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Ox, there will be many fires; also, cattle will suffer a great epidemic, with many dying, and the disaster will not be limited to one country. The price of cattle will rise tenfold (the original commentary notes that the Shi school says it will rise threefold), and there will be no cattle seen on the roads. Another interpretation says there will be a levy on cattle and the conscription of cattle for labor. The Sea Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Ox, it indicates drought. It also says that when the Malefic of violence guards the Ox, there will be urgent military movements; it also says that there will be abundant rain and dew that year.

郗萌曰：“熒惑十月守牽牛，不十日，兵大起。熒惑守牽牛，若有殺畜產事。熒惑守牽牛，有犧牲之事；有反逆者從中起，有走軍死將；期一年。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉成親咸康元年六月乙亥火犯牽牛中央星，建元二年，征西將軍庚亮薨。）

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays at the constellation Niou in the tenth month, and within ten days, great military forces will rise. When the Malefic of violence guards the constellation Niou, there may be slaughtering of livestock and loss of property. The Malefic of violence guarding the constellation Niou indicates there will be sacrifices for worship; there will also be rebels starting from within, fleeing armies, and generals dying in battle. The fulfillment of this prediction will occur within a year. (Original book note: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," on June Yihai of the first year of the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Jin dynasty, the Malefic of violence approached the central star of the constellation Niou; by the second year of the Jianyuan era, the general of the Western Expedition, Yu Liang, died.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入守牽牛三十日以上，人相食。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑守牽牛二十日以上，有反逆者，牛車用；期四十日，若七十日。”《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑入守牽牛，歲大水，津河不通，五穀大傷，其歲不中。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入牽牛中，出守牽牛之南，有大赦，期二十日。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: If the Malefic of violence enters and stays in the constellation of the Ox for more than thirty days, there will be a terrible situation of people eating people. The *Beiguan Divination* says: If the Malefic of violence stays in the Ox for more than twenty days, there will be rebels who rise up, and many ox-drawn carts will be conscripted for military transport; the predicted time is either forty or seventy days. The *Shengqia Symbol* says: If the Malefic of violence enters and stays in the Ox, there will be a great flood in that year, with river crossings and waterways blocked and impassable, causing severe damage to the five grains, and the harvest of the year will be completely ruined—since the Ox is the master of bridges, ferry crossings, and waterways, the disaster will fall upon the rivers and transportation. Xi Meng says: If the Malefic of violence first enters the Ox and then stays in the southern part of the Ox, there will be a great amnesty, with the predicted time being twenty days.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑以春二月、三月留牽牛相守者，芻蒿貴，至八月止。”又占曰：“熒惑犯守牛大星，臣謀主，諸侯將兵，大人憂之，其國亂，人民飢。”甘氏曰：“熒惑犯牽牛，留守之，有破軍殺將。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯守牽牛，諸侯多疾。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation Niutou during the second and third months of spring and does not move away, the price of fodder and dry grass becomes expensive, and this situation continues until the eighth month. Another divination passage says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the large star of Niutou, ministers will plot against the sovereign, the feudal lords will hold excessive military power, and the person in high position will be troubled, leading to disorder in the country and famine among the people. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at Niutou, there will be the defeat of armies and the death of generals. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at Niutou, the feudal lords will suffer many diseases.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑犯須女，若守之三十日不下，女主有病者，若府藏中有甲兵；十日不下，主后有死者，期百八十日。”石氏曰：“熒惑入須女中，旬，主后死。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入須女，留二十日，為天子受女之慶；近期三十日，遠期四月。熒惑入須女，糴貴，石三百，人有自賣，不出縣邑，有死者。熒惑入守，妃貴人女子多死者。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: When the Malefic of Violence enters "Needle Woman," if it does not descend within thirty days, the female ruler will fall ill, or there will be hidden weapons and armor in the treasury; if it does not descend within ten days, there will be death among the sovereign and the empress, and the prediction will come true in one hundred and eighty days. The four stars of Needle Woman are also called Girl Mansion, which govern matters of silk and hemp, marriage, and female occupations. Therefore, the omens usually relate to the empress, concubines, and women, as well as silk and hemp. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of Violence enters Needle Woman for ten days, the empress will die. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of Violence enters Needle Woman and stays for twenty days, it signifies a joyful event of the sovereign marrying a woman as a concubine; if it is near, the prediction will come true within thirty days, if it is far, within four months. When the Malefic of Violence enters and stays in Needle Woman, grain prices will soar, reaching three hundred coins per stone, and some people will sell themselves into slavery, dying on the way without leaving their county or town. When the Malefic of Violence enters and stays in Needle Woman, many concubines, noblemen, and women will die.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入須女，有帛貴，天子內美女；不然甲兵起。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出須女中，主也；出段女兩傍，諸臣也；留為憂。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑之須女，不求女。”郗萌曰：“熒惑在須女，逆行至牛，復還女，倏去倏還，為千里無稼牆。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑居須女陽，有吉；居陰，有憂。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence enters the constellation of Mustard, silk and cloth will become expensive, and the emperor will take a beautiful woman into the palace; otherwise, there will be military uprisings. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence comes out from the center of Mustard, it concerns the sovereign; when it comes out from both sides of Mustard (the original text mistakenly says "Duan" instead of "Xu"), it concerns the ministers; if it stays without moving, it indicates calamity. The *Chunqiu Wei* says: When the Malefic of violence reaches the constellation of Mustard, it is not suitable to seek a wife. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence is in the constellation of Mustard, and it goesretrograde to the constellation of Ox, then turns back to Mustard, coming and going unpredictably, it indicates that there will be no crops for a thousand li. ("Jiaqiang" is actually "Jiasai"). The *Yellow River Chart* says: When the Malefic of violence is in the yang position of Mustard, it is auspicious; when it is in the yin position, it indicates worry.

郗萌曰：“熒惑舍須女，蠶不得。熒惑出入留舍須女，五十日不下，天下有民大恐，其國開庫、出兵，加於吳越城。”熒惑留須女，有反逆者，徒女者諸夫人家起。”齊伯曰：“熒惑出入留須女，十日不下，刀劍大貴。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑以十二月守須女之西南，奸人入邑。守其北百日，有諸侯稼女絕國者。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stops in the constellation Su Nu, and sericulture will not have a good harvest. When the Malefic of violence enters, leaves, stays, or resides in Su Nu, it remains for fifty days without descending, causing great panic among the people of the country. That country will open its military stores and send troops to attack the cities of Wu and Yue. When the Malefic of violence stays in Su Nu, there will be rebels, and chaos will start from the households of the various concubines (the term "tu nu" should be "tu nu", meaning the frequent change of favorites in the harem). Qi Bo said: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, or resides in Su Nu, it does not descend for ten days, and the price of swords and spears rises sharply. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the southwest of Su Nu in the twelfth month, wicked people will secretly enter the cities. If it stays in the northern direction for a hundred days, there will be a country that will be destroyed due to the marriage of its princesses ("jia nu" refers to "marriage of daughters").

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守須女，皇后疾，宮中有火災。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑守須女，人主以媵為後，以妾為妻，若有獻女者。”氏氏曰：“熒惑守須女，王者發佈帛；守二十日、絲綿布帛大貴。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守須女，大人不安，五穀不登，民多病疾。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守須女，國飢、糴貴，民有自賣者。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守須女，邦有女子喪，主後也；又曰宮女有憂，牛角大貴。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, the queen will fall ill and there will be a fire in the palace. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, the ruler will appoint a concubine as queen and elevate a妾 to the position of wife, or someone will present a woman. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, the sovereign should distribute silk, cotton, cloth and silk goods for relief; if it stays for twenty days, the prices of silk, cotton, cloth and silk will rise sharply. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, the person in high position will not rest in peace, the five grains will not be abundant, and the people will be sick. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, the country will suffer from famine and the price of grain will soar, and the people will sell themselves into slavery. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Female Ox, there will be mourning for a woman in the country, and it will be the queen; also, palace women will have worries, and the price of ox horns will rise sharply.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守須女，後、夫人有憂，大人不安。熒惑守須女，女子為天下政；一曰女子為亂，法令更行；疾、無憂；國有稼女娶婦事，臣下衣服奢侈；守三十日，其君憂。熒惑守須女北，國大水，人民處木上。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守須女，色青，有女喪，宮女有憂；黑，女多死；黃白，吉。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence occupies the position of Xunü, indicating that the queen and the lady in waiting will have worries, and those in high positions will not find peace. The Malefic of violence occupying Xunü suggests that women will take charge of state affairs; another interpretation is that women will cause disturbances, leading to changes in laws. If the movement of the star is swift and passes quickly, there will be no worries. In the country, there will be marriages and weddings, and the clothing and attire of officials will become more luxurious. If the Malefic of violence remains for thirty days, the king will have worries. When the Malefic of violence is stationed to the north of Xunü, there will be a great flood in the country, and the people will have to take refuge in trees. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the Malefic of violence occupies Xunü, if the star appears blue, there will be the death of a woman and worries among the palace attendants; if it appears black, many women will die; if it appears yellowish-white, it is auspicious.

《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯守須女，多妖祥，大臣當之。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守犯乘須女二十日，大人婦女有反逆者，從女起，若有女喪；其年糴三倍，人民多死。”陳卓曰：“熒惑留逆犯守乘凌須女，天子及大臣有變，必有奇令。”

The Sea of Waves Divination says: The Malefic of violence invades and guards the Mansion of the Nurturer, indicating many signs of strange phenomena, and calamity will befall the ministers. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards, invades, or dominates the Mansion of the Nurturer for twenty days, there will be rebels among the Nobleman and women, disorder originating from women, or the death of a woman; in that year, grain prices will triple, and many people will die. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence stays, retrogrades, invades, guards, or dominates the Mansion of the Nurturer, the Emperor and ministers will suffer mishaps, and an extraordinary decree will certainly be issued.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入虛東；一曰居其左右，君恐失火。”《荊州占》曰：“君有大事。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入虛，咎中毀傷。”石氏曰：“熒惑入虛中三月，齊王死；入旬、相死；不死出走。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入虛中，伺其出日而數之，期三十日，為兵發，伺始入處之變，一曰期十日，軍罷。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The Malefic of violence enters the Emptiness mansion's east; another account says it resides on either side of the Emptiness mansion, and the sovereign should fear a fire. The two stars of the Emptiness mansion preside over temple worship and mourning, and also correspond to the region of Qi, so the following events mostly occur in Qi and matters related to death and mourning. The Jiangzhong Divination says: The sovereign will have major affairs. The Wenyao Gou says: The Malefic of violence entering the Emptiness mansion brings calamity through destruction and ruin. The Shi school says: If the Malefic of violence enters the center of the Emptiness mansion and remains for three months, the King of Qi will die; if it remains for ten days, the chancellor will die; if not, he will flee. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters the center of the Emptiness mansion, one should pay attention to the day it exits and count the days, with the fulfillment occurring thirty days later, when military actions will be launched; also observe the changes at the initial entry point, another account says the fulfillment occurs ten days later, when the army will disband.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入虛，逐功臣，一曰牛車貴。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入虛，天下有變，諸侯有死者，有罷軍破將，天下更政令，期一年。”陳卓曰：“熒惑在虛東，東藩旱；在虛南，楚地旱；在虛西，廬江旱；在虛北，遼東、遼西旱。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入虛成鉤已；天下大亂，政急，大人憂，以戰不勝；一曰有德令。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence entering the Emptiness mansion indicates the removal of meritorious ministers; another interpretation is that the price of ox carts is high. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Emptiness mansion, there will be disturbances throughout the land, some princes will die, some armies will be disbanded and generals defeated, and the government will change its decrees, which will come to pass within a year. Chen Zhuo said: When the Malefic of violence is in the eastern part of the Emptiness mansion, the eastern vassal states will suffer from drought; in the southern part, the Chu region will suffer from drought; in the western part, the area around Lujiang will suffer from drought; and in the northern part, the regions of Liao Dong and Liao Xi will suffer from drought. Xi Meng also said: When the Malefic of violence enters the Emptiness mansion and forms the shape of "gou ji", there will be great chaos throughout the land, the government will impose harsh decrees, those in high positions will have worries, and once battle is joined, they will not be able to win; another interpretation is that there will be an edict promoting virtue and benevolence.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑留虛，有以喪徭。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留虛，群臣不尊敬祭祀，女主不謹。熒惑留虛三十日，其君臣憂。熒惑舍天，天府，天下喜，賜諸侯王。”又曰：“舍天府門中央，天下赦。”齊伯曰：“熒惑出入留舍虛之間，憂在齊，其國治城郭，兵來期不出十年中，敗。”

The Spring Annals says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Emptiness mansion, there will be mourning and the mobilization of labor. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Emptiness mansion, the ministers cannot respectfully perform worship, and the female ruler does not act with caution. If the Malefic of violence stays in the Emptiness mansion for thirty days, the sovereign and ministers in that region will all have worries. It also says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Treasury star and Command star (the original text says 'abandons Heaven, Treasury star and Command star', with the word 'Heaven' repeated), there will be joy and celebration throughout the land, and the court will reward the feudal princes. It also says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the central part of the Treasury star's gate, the whole country will be pardoned. Qi Bo says: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, or remains in the area of the Emptiness mansion, calamity will fall upon the state of Qi, and that country will need to repair its city walls; if enemy forces attack, they will not come within ten years, and ultimately will be defeated.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守虛，赤地千里，人相食。熒惑守虛，大臣為亂，百姓多疾。”《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑守虛，百二十日以上，諸侯增土地，將有慶賜爵封者。”《春秋圖》曰：“熒惑守虛，五穀大貴，吏民死解。”石氏曰：“熒惑守虛，將軍及兵發起，天下更令。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Emptiness mansion, within a thousand li there will be barren land with not even a blade of grass, leading to people eating people. It also says that when the Malefic of violence guards the Emptiness mansion, ministers will rebel, and the common people will suffer many diseases. The Shengqia Fu says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Emptiness mansion for more than one hundred and twenty days, the princes will expand their territories, and there will be people who receive rewards, promotions, and titles of nobility in the court — this is a rare auspicious statement among the various prophecies concerning the Emptiness mansion. The Chunqiu Tu says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Emptiness mansion, the prices of the five grains will rise sharply, and officials and common people will die, suffer injuries, and be separated. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Emptiness mansion, generals and armies will all be mobilized, and the whole country will change its laws.

（《晏子春秋》曰：熒惑守虛，期年不去，公問晏子曰：孰當之？晏子曰：齊當之，公不悅曰：天下大國十二，齊何以獨當之？晏子曰：廬齊分野，且天下之殃，固於富強，為善不用，出政不行，賢人使遠，讒人反昌、百姓疾怨，是以列舍無次，熒惑逆行。公曰可去乎？對曰：出冤聚之獄，使反田張；散百官之財，施之民矣；巖孤寡而敬老人，若能是者，惡可去，何獨孽乎，公曰：善。行之三日，而熒惑遷。）

The original commentary notes: The "Anzi Spring and Autumn" records that the Malefic of violence remained over the Emptiness mansion for an entire year. King Jing of Qi asked Anzi, saying: Who should bear this calamity? Anzi replied: It should be borne by the state of Qi. King Jing was displeased, saying: There are twelve great states in the world, why should it be Qi that bears the calamity? Anzi replied: The Emptiness mansion is originally the celestial region corresponding to Qi; moreover, calamities in the world naturally first fall upon the wealthy and powerful states. When good advice is not heeded, decrees are not implemented, virtuous men are distant and dismissed, and slanderous ministers gain power and prosperity, the people become resentful and distressed, so the celestial stars lose their order, and the Malefic of violence movesretrograde. King Jing said: Can it be made to leave? Anzi replied: Release the prisoners detained in wrongful cases, let them return to their fields; distribute the wealth accumulated by officials, give it to the people; care for the orphans and the elderly, and show respect to the aged. If these things can be done, not only will the Malefic of violence depart, but what calamity cannot be dispelled? King Jing said: Good. He did these things for three days, and the Malefic of violence indeed moved away from its position. This story corresponds with the previous account of King Song Jing of Chu issuing three good words and the Malefic of violence moving away, both being typical ancient examples of using moral cultivation to avert calamities.

郗萌曰：熒惑守虛、危，有土功事；九十日，天下亂，歲大飢。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守危，以人民為變，天下大水。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守危，以民流多死；一曰女子多死。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑守危，以水火入，多疾疫，若有土功，修治陵廟，期不出年。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays over the Emptiness mansion and the Rooftop mansion, indicating there will be construction work; after ninety days, the whole country will be in turmoil and there will be a great famine that year. The Gan school said: When the Malefic of violence stays over the Rooftop mansion, the people will therefore start up revolts, and the whole country will suffer a great flood. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence stays over the Rooftop mansion, the people will be homeless and many will die; another view is that many women will die. The Jade Calendar said: When the Malefic of violence stays over the Rooftop mansion, water and fire disasters will both invade, causing many epidemics; or there will be construction work, requiring the repair of tombs and ancestral temples, and the fulfillment of the prophecy will not be beyond that year—under the Rooftop mansion there are four stars representing tombs, so the divination always relates to the construction of tombs and ancestral temples.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入虛而犯守之，天子自將兵，流血滿野，必有死國，死王，期三年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守虛，有土功之事；一曰合於虛，土功當舉。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守虛，天下有變更令者；百姓多疾，歲旱，不熟，赤地千里，穀糴踴貴，菽粟三倍。”（《荊州占》曰：十倍。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Emptiness mansion and attacks it, the Son of Heaven will personally lead his troops to campaign, with blood flowing everywhere. There will certainly be a country that perishes and a king who dies. This will occur within three years. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence attacks the Emptiness mansion, there will be construction projects. Another view is that it combines with the Emptiness mansion, indicating that construction work will be carried out. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence attacks the Emptiness mansion, there will be people who change laws and regulations. The people will suffer from many diseases, the harvest will be dry and barren, the five grains will not mature, there will be a thousand miles of scorched land, the price of grain will soar, and beans and millet will rise three times. (Original note: The Jiangzhou Divination says ten times.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯危，天下大亂。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入危，大赦天下。”石氏曰：“熒惑入危，賊臣起。熒惑入危中三月，齊王死；不死出走。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入危中，天下有變更之令；又曰入天府，天子臨府事。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入危，越會亡。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The Malefic of violence invades the "Wei" mansion, and chaos will prevail throughout the land. The Wei mansion, consisting of three stars, governs house construction and burial matters. It also belongs to the territory of Qi, so the following text repeatedly mentions earthworks, roofing houses, and weeping. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Wei mansion, there will be a general amnesty. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Wei mansion, wicked ministers will rise up. If the Malefic of violence remains in the Wei mansion for three months, the King of Qi will die; if he does not die, he must flee. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Wei mansion, there will be imperial edicts announcing changes and reforms; he also says that when the Malefic of violence enters the Treasury star, the emperor will personally attend to the treasury affairs. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Wei mansion, the cities of Yue will be destroyed.

郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行危，其君簡祭祀。熒惑入危，留之；以過復還，留之；大人當之。熒惑留危，群臣不敬宗祀。熒惑舍天府，天子賜諸候王；舍門中，天下赦。熒惑出入舍危，其國繕城郭，而起兵。”巫咸曰：“熒惑出入留舍危，國中大亂，吏民相攻。熒惑守危，大國有憂，人民為變國易政，不出其年；天下大疾，死者不葬。熒惑守危，國為政者。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence is moving retrograde in the Rooftop mansion star. The ruler is neglectful in worship. The Malefic of violence enters the Rooftop mansion and stays there; after passing through it, it turns back and stays again; calamity falls upon the high-ranking officials. When the Malefic of violence stays in the Rooftop mansion, the ministers cannot respectfully serve the ancestral temples and perform sacrifices. When the Malefic of violence stays in the Treasury star and Command star, the Son of Heaven will bestow favors upon the feudal princes; when it stays in the middle of the gate, the whole country will be pardoned. When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Rooftop mansion, the country will repair its walls and raise an army. Wu Xian said: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Rooftop mansion, great disorder will occur in the country, officials and common people will attack each other. When the Malefic of violence guards the Rooftop mansion, great states will have worries, the people will rise in rebellion, the country will change its policies, and these events will occur within the same year; a great plague will spread throughout the land, and the dead will not be buried. When the Malefic of violence guards the Rooftop mansion, calamity will fall upon those who hold power in the state.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守危，大臣為亂。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑守危，民多疾疫，歲旱不熟，天下大飢，兵起。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守危，春旱，秋多水災。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守危，大人變常。熒惑守危，賓客有事，死。熒惑守危，宮地震裂。熒惑守危，為大人蓋屋事。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, and the great minister rebels. The Wen Yao Gou says: The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, the people suffer from many epidemic diseases, the harvest is dry and the crops are not ripe, the whole country faces great famine, and military conflicts follow. The Hai Zhong Divination says: The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, there is drought in spring and floods in autumn, and within a year water and drought alternate. Xi Meng says: The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, the superior person acts against the usual order. The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, guests will be punished for some matter and die. The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, the foundation of the palace cracks. The Malefic of violence stays at Rooftop mansion, it indicates the superior person is building houses and palaces. Rooftop mansion is the master of palace construction, so it often relates to earth and wood.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守危，南方有兵；諸侯有死者，庫室有繕者。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守危，宮多火災。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑守危，有土功，飢兵起。諸候相謀。”石氏曰：“熒惑守危，守之三十日不下，有立宮廟哭泣之事；六十日不下，國易政。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the position of danger, there will be military affairs in the south; among the feudal princes, some will die, and the armories and palaces should be repaired. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the position of danger, there will be many fires in the palace. The *Northern Officials' Observation* says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the position of danger, there will be construction projects, famine, and military conflicts arising together, with the feudal princes conspiring against each other. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the position of danger, if it remains for thirty days without descending, there will be the building of palaces and ancestral temples and mourning ceremonies; if it remains for sixty days without descending, the country will change its policies and alter its political situation.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入危，乘守二十日，若九十日；東方兵起，國有死者，歲旱不熟，糴十倍，民食草木，嫁妻賣子，牛羊倍價。熒惑乘危，天下大亂。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑入危，留守三十日，若九十日；天下易政，咎以入日占。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Malefic of Violence enters the Rooftop Mansion, it stays and dominates for twenty days or ninety days; if the eastern region mobilizes troops, there will be deaths within the country, the harvest will be dry and unripe, grain prices will rise tenfold, people will subsist on grass and trees, sell their wives and children, and the price of cattle and sheep will double. When the Malefic of Violence dominates the Rooftop Mansion, chaos will prevail throughout the land. The *Beiguan Wait* says: When the Malefic of Violence enters the Rooftop Mansion, it stays and remains for thirty days or ninety days; the state will change its policies, and specific calamities should be predicted according to the stem and branch of the day it enters.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入危，諸侯王謀，大兵起，天下易變；若有土功；守上星，為人民死；守中星、諸侯死；守下星，大臣死；期百八十日。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守墳墓，為人主有哭泣聲。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Rooftop mansion, the feudal princes plot rebellion, great military forces arise, and the world undergoes change; or there will be construction projects; if the star above the Rooftop mansion is guarded, it indicates the death of common people; if the middle star is guarded, the feudal princes will die; if the star below is guarded, the ministers will die; the period of fulfillment is one hundred and eighty days. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence guards the tomb stars (the four stars south of the Rooftop mansion), it indicates that there will be mourning sounds coming from the royal household.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯營室者，犯陽，為陽有急犯陰，為陰有急。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯營室，以賤人為役。熒惑入營室中，入三月，衛君死；入五月，相死；不死出走。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯乘營室，諸侯相攻，大戰，糴倍。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入營室，大臣匿謀。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入營室，臣伐主，一曰有兵，兵罷。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence invades "Yingshi", and if it violates its yang position, there will be urgent difficulties in the yang aspect; if it violates its yin position, there will be urgent difficulties in the yin aspect. Yingshi consists of two stars, also known as Dingxing, which is the palace and guest house of the Son of Heaven, governing earth and wood construction affairs, belonging to the territory of Wei. Therefore, the following text repeatedly refers to the king of Wei, palaces, and earth works. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence invades Yingshi, it will employ poor and lowly people to perform labor. If the Malefic of violence enters Yingshi, and remains for three months, the king of Wei will die; if it remains for five months, the prime minister will die; if they do not die, they will have to flee. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When the Malefic of violence invades and occupies Yingshi, the feudal lords will attack each other, there will be great battles, and grain prices will double. The Gan school said: When the Malefic of violence enters Yingshi, ministers will plot secretly. Wu Xian said: When the Malefic of violence enters Yingshi, ministers will attack the sovereign; another interpretation is that there will be military affairs, followed by the cessation of military actions.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入營室壁中，有惡謀。熒惑入營室中，賊臣起，非盜乃客，期六十日。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入營室，齊國有兵，諸侯若民多死，歲不收，期十月。”《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑入營室，齊國有兵，諸侯若民多死，歲不收，期十月。”《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑逆行營室，成鉤己，天子失宮殿，大臣為亂，兵大起。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence enters the Camp Room and East Wall area, indicating a plot of evil intent. When the Malefic of violence enters the Camp Room, there will be a rebellion by wicked ministers; it is either an internal thief or foreign invaders, and the period of fulfillment is sixty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the Malefic of violence enters the Camp Room, Qi will have military affairs, and many nobles or common people will die, with no harvest in the harvest season, and the period of fulfillment is ten months. The "Shengqia Fu" also states: When the Malefic of violence enters the Camp Room, Qi will have military affairs, and many nobles or common people will die, with no harvest in the harvest season, and the period of fulfillment is ten months. (This entry is identical to the previous one from "Jingzhou Divination" and is a duplicate in the original text.) The "Shengqia Fu" also states: When the Malefic of violence movesretrograde in the Camp Room and forms the shape of "gou ji", the Son of Heaven loses his palace, ministers rebel, and great military forces arise.

石氏曰：“熒惑逆行營室，環繞之，三十日有破國；六十日不下，有崩王，吳太子死；期一年，中二年，遠三年。”石氏曰：“熒惑逆行，以犯營室，臣謀兵起。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑居營室，兩軍相據當相和；不相合，有殃罰。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑經營室中，諸候兵相謀。”

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence movesretrograde in the constellation Yingshi and circles around, there will be a country being attacked and broken within thirty days; if it does not descend within sixty days, there will be the death of a king, and the crown prince of Wu will die. Those close in time will come to pass within a year, those in the middle within two years, and those distant within three years. The Shi school also says: When the Malefic of violenceretrograde and invades Yingshi, ministers will plot against the sovereign, and military conflicts will arise. The Yellow River Chart says: When the Malefic of violence resides in Yingshi, two armies facing each other will have to make peace; if they cannot make peace, they will suffer calamity and punishment. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence passes through the middle of Yingshi, the feudal lords will hold armies and plot against each other.

《洛書》曰：“熒惑入營室，留守之，大人有憂，臣有陰欲殺主者；後宮有大變，期不出年。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入營室中，天子宮也；留二十日已上，天子惡之。”郗萌曰：“天子失位也。期不出十月中，其經之大臣伐主。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑入營室，留二十日，天子死，守其南，赤色怒，赤而環之成鉤己，乃有咎，不然，無咎，必察喜怒，以決吉凶。”

The Luo Writing says: The Malefic of violence enters and stays in the constellation Weishì, indicating that the superior ruler will have worries, and ministers will secretly desire to kill the sovereign; there will be great disturbances in the inner court, and the fulfillment of this omen will not occur within the same year. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the constellation Weishì, Weishì is the palace of the sovereign; if it stays for more than twenty days, the sovereign most fears this omen. Xi Meng says: This is an omen of the sovereign losing his position, and the fulfillment will not be beyond ten months; if it merely passes through without staying, then it will be the ministers who attack the sovereign. The Sea Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters Weishì and stays for twenty days, the sovereign will die; if the star remains in the southern part of Weishì and appears red and angry, with a red halo forming the shape of 'gou ji', then there will indeed be calamity; if not, there will be no disaster. One must carefully observe the harmonious or angry appearance of the star in order to determine fortune or misfortune.

《元命包》曰：“熒惑守營室，群妃斗。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑守營室，專於妻妃。”石氏曰：“熒惑守營室，天子為軍，自守王者，有水災，糴貴。”又曰：“守三月，王者崩，及立王。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守營室，客燒主人；將軍凶，不有誅，必有逆兵；主將去之，有禍；又曰人民為變；守之三十日以上，天子死。”

The Yuanmingbao says: The Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, and many concubines contend for the favor of the sovereign, fighting against each other. The Wenyaogou says: The Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, and the sovereign favors one concubine exclusively. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the Son of Heaven must整顿 military forces and personally take charge; the ruler will suffer from flooding and high grain prices. It also says: If it stays for three months, the ruler will die, and then a new sovereign will be established. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, the guest army will burn the residence of the host; the general will meet with misfortune, not necessarily being executed, but certainly encountering rebellion; if the commander abandons his troops, he will also face calamity; it also says the common people will rise up in revolt; if it stays for more than thirty days, the Son of Heaven will die.

巫咸曰：“熒惑守營室，旱，五穀不成，多火災。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守營室，人民疾疫，多死亡。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守營室，人君攻宮室，為土功事；又曰以正月守營室，三月；若五月，有大旱之災，天下大飢。”石氏曰：“熒惑入，若守天宮四十日，諸候轉粟千里，各虛。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, indicating drought, with the five grains unable to mature, and many fires occurring. The "Sea of Divination" said: The Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, causing the common people to suffer from plague, with many deaths. Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays in the constellation of the Encampment, indicating that the sovereign will greatly construct palaces and buildings, engaging in large-scale construction projects; also, if it stays in the constellation of the Encampment during the first lunar month, by the third or fifth lunar month there will be a great drought, leading to widespread famine throughout the land. The Shi school said: If the Malefic of violence enters or stays in the constellation of the Heavenly Palace (which is the Encampment, the sovereign's summer palace and guest houses) for forty days, the princes will have to transport grain over a thousand li to provide relief, and the granaries in all regions will thus be emptied.

《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入守犯營室，以內淫近色，及天殃，皆不以命終，王者惡之。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守營室中，皆有土功事。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守離宮正東，為父，守正西，為母；守正北，為妻，守正南，為子；守舍星，為身；其焰赫赫，其國離易；期三年、遠五年，兵起。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence enters, guards, or invades the Camp Room, it is because of licentiousness within the palace and closeness to women, which brings calamity from heaven; these people will not die naturally, and it is most dangerous for a ruler. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence invades and guards the Camp Room, it indicates earth and wood construction matters. The Huangdi Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence guards the eastern direction of the Li Palace (the six stars beside the Camp Room), it refers to the father; guarding the western direction refers to the mother; guarding the northern direction refers to the wife; guarding the southern direction refers to the son; guarding the native star of the Camp Room refers to oneself; if its flame is fierce and oppressive, the country will scatter and change; the time of occurrence is three years, or five years at the furthest, and military actions will arise.

《春秋圖》曰：“熒惑入東壁，百九十日，且服勞。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入東壁，大臣為謀，人主自將兵，賊臣內起，天子以兵自守。”石氏曰：“熒惑入東壁中三月，衛君死；入五月，相死；不死出走。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入東壁，有匿謀。”

The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the Malefic of violence enters the eastern wall, it will take 190 days before the people are to be conscripted for labor. The two stars of the eastern wall govern literature and records, and are the heavenly repository of the world, sharing the same territory as the room of encampment, both belonging to the region of Wei. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence enters the eastern wall, ministers plot rebellion, the sovereign personally leads the army, and treacherous ministers rise up from within, forcing the Son of Heaven to rely on his military forces for self-defense. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the middle of the eastern wall for three months, the king of Wei will die; if it stays for five months, the prime minister will die; if not, he will flee. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the eastern wall, there will be hidden plots.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入東壁，九州當之。甲乙日入東方，有咎，丙丁日入南，有咎；戊已日入中央，有咎；庚辛日入西方，有咎，壬癸日入並方，有咎。熒惑入東壁，民疾。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入東壁，大臣有謀殺者。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑入東壁，天下以食為憂。”《海中占》曰：“赤星入營室、東壁，大臣凌主。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑入東壁，兩軍相據，當相和；不相和，有殃罰。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence enters the eastern wall, and the whole country's nine regions will suffer its consequences. If it enters on a Jia or Yi day, there will be calamity in the east; if it enters on a Bing or Ding day, there will be calamity in the south; if it enters on a Wu or Ji day, there will be calamity in the center; if it enters on a Geng or Xin day, there will be calamity in the west; if it enters on a Ren or Gui day, there will be calamity in the north.

The "Yellow River Chart" says: When the Malefic of violence enters the eastern wall, if two armies are facing each other, they should make peace; if they cannot make peace, they will suffer calamity and punishment.

郗萌曰：“熒惑出入留舍東壁，三十日不下，五穀貴，民流亡，不居其鄉；六十日不下，兵至其國。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守東壁，言政事者誅，術士不相隱藏，內外相譖以相勝，正三軍，亦大起兵。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入東壁，歲不熟，萬物不成。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守室壁，宮失火，一曰旱，五穀不成；一曰兵民多死。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays in the East Wall, entering and exiting, lingering and resting there, for thirty days without descending, causing grain prices to rise and people to flee, unable to live in their homeland; if it remains for sixty days without descending, military calamity will reach that country. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the East Wall, those who speak out on state affairs will be executed, magicians will no longer keep secrets from each other, officials inside and outside the court will slander one another to gain advantage, and the military will be thoroughly reorganized, with a major campaign launched. Wu Xian said: When the Malefic of violence enters the East Wall, the harvest will be poor and all things will not mature. The Sea Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Camp Room and the East Wall, there will be a fire in the palace; another interpretation says it indicates drought and failure of crops; yet another says many soldiers and common people will die.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守東壁，為天下兵起，一曰伏兵起；又曰大人衛守，又為多水，若歲晚水，或西方有憂。熒惑守東壁三十日，其君憂；二十日，大赦。熒惑守東壁，為有土功事。熒惑守東壁，其光潤澤，大吉，熒惑守東壁三十日不下，三年兵起。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence guards the East Wall, indicating that the whole country will have military actions; another interpretation suggests there will be hidden troops starting a rebellion; it also advises those in high positions to strengthen their guards and be on alert; it also indicates much water, or that there will be water disasters after autumn begins, or there will be worries in the western direction. If the Malefic of violence guards the East Wall for thirty days, the king will have worries; if it guards for twenty days, there will be a great amnesty. The Malefic of violence guarding the East Wall indicates there will be construction projects involving earth and wood. If the Malefic of violence guards the East Wall and its light is warm and moist, it is a great blessing. If the Malefic of violence guards the East Wall for thirty days without descending, military conflicts will arise within three years.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守東壁，人主自將兵，糴石至千；又曰文章者傷。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守東壁，諸侯相謀。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守東壁，王者大災。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑守東壁，守其南，主后死；過其西，天子死；守其北，諸侯死；守其東，大人自將兵。熒惑守東壁，臣下不明。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the East Wall, the sovereign will personally lead the army, and the price of grain will rise to one thousand coins per stone; it also says that those in charge of documents and writings will suffer damage — the East Wall is the repository of the world's writings, so this refers to literary affairs. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the East Wall, the feudal lords will plot against each other. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the East Wall, the ruler will suffer a great calamity. The book Bei Gao Hou says: When the Malefic of violence occupies the East Wall, if it waits to the south, the sovereign and queen will die; if it passes to the west, the emperor will die; if it waits to the north, the feudal lords will die; if it waits to the east, the person in high position will personally lead the army. When the Malefic of violence occupies the East Wall, the ministers will be confused and unclear.

巫咸曰：“熒惑入東壁，留守之，有土功。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留守東壁，臣下弄法；二十日以上，賊臣起，期十月。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行，守乘壁，女王自恐；一曰民多疾。”齊伯曰：“熒惑逆行，守東壁，成鉤己，有大兵加於衛，其國無以待之；若三月不下，衛王死，不則出走。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence enters the East Wall and stays there, indicating there will be construction projects. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence stays in the East Wall, ministers will manipulate legal texts and distort laws; if it stays for more than twenty days, wicked ministers will rise up, and this will happen within ten months. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and stays in the East Wall, the Queen will feel fear within her heart; another interpretation says that many people will fall ill. Qi Bo said: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and stays in the East Wall, forming the shape of "gou ji", there will be a large military force attacking the State of Wei, and that state will be unable to resist; if it does not descend within three months, the King of Wei will die, or else he will have to flee.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入奎中，民多疾。又曰：“亂臣弒其主。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入奎，主偏阿誅，不決。”石氏曰：“熒惑入奎中，三月，魯主死及國相死；不死出走。”《北官候》曰：“熒惑入奎，成勾巳及環繞之，天子災宮殿，期六月。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: The Malefic of violence enters the Legs mansion, and the people suffer many diseases. It also says: Disloyal ministers kill their sovereigns. The Legs mansion consists of sixteen stars shaped like the bottom of a shoe, representing the heavenly military storehouse, governing weapons, armor, canals, and waterways, and corresponding to the region of Lu. Therefore, the following statements often relate to Lu, military affairs, and water matters. The Wenyaogou says: The Malefic of violence entering the Legs mansion indicates the sovereign showing partiality and favoritism, hesitating in matters of punishment and reward. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Legs mansion for three months, the king of Lu and his countrymen will surely die; if they do not die, they will flee. The Beiguan Hou says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Legs mansion, forming the shape of 'gou ji' and circling around, the imperial palace will suffer a fire, and this will occur within six months.

The Sea of Divination says: If the Malefic of violence has a bright and moist color and comes out from the Legs mansion, there will be joyful imperial edicts; if it changes color and enters the Legs mansion, there will be false orders; if it comes from the Legs mansion, it also indicates false orders and the dispatching of envoys.

郗萌曰：“熒惑留奎，臣不專權；一曰霸者爭言。”《孝經章句》曰：“熒惑舍奎，有兵起，其民有自賣於縣邑者，歲為下。”齊伯曰：“熒惑出入留舍奎，天下且爭言者，不且有伏士出者，其國兵至，加於魯之城，其國無以得之。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays in the Legs mansion, indicating that ministers cannot hold exclusive power; another interpretation suggests that ambitious feudal lords will compete to offer advice. The "Commentary on the Chapter on Filial Piety" states: When the Malefic of violence stops in the Legs mansion, there will be military affairs arising, and the people in that area will have those selling themselves into slavery within the county towns, with a poor harvest. Qi Bo said: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, or stops in the Legs mansion, the world will have people competing to give advice, otherwise hidden assassins will emerge; the country will face military calamity, and the army will attack the city of Lu, and the country will be unable to cope.

The Western Palace Observations say: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Legs mansion for more than twenty days, ministers plot rebellion; there will be military affairs in the country, or a king who dies suddenly, and military calamity will fall upon the territory of Lu, occurring within a year. When the Malefic of violence stays in the Legs mansion, the country's prominent officials will rebel as demons, there will be a great villain in the country, and the conspiracy will be among the attendants. The effect will be verified within three months if it is near, or within nine months if it is distant.

It also says: When the Malefic of violence is in the second month and stays in the Legs mansion, there will be many thieves, and the governors of the commanderies with a rank of two thousand stones will have replacements and frequent conscription and labor.

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Bond mansion and stays there for three months, the king of Lu will die; if it stays for ten days, the prime minister will die or have to flee. The three stars of the Bond mansion govern the herds and sacrifices, and also govern gatherings of people, and it is still the territory of Lu, so the following text repeatedly mentions gatherings of people, stored weapons, and cattle and horses. When the Malefic of violence enters the Bond mansion and stays there, there will be people gathering in groups to start a rebellion, great armies will arise, chariots, horses, and soldiers will be mobilized, and there will certainly be a king who dies and a prime minister who flees.

The Western Palace Observations say: When the Malefic of violence sprouts apointed rays and enters the Bond mansion, the country will suffer a fire that burns granaries. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violenceretrograde into the Bond mansion and forms the shape of 'hook己', there will be a disaster of granaries and storehouses being burned; if itretrograde to the Legs mansion, great military forces will arise, ministers will plot rebellion, and the general will accomplish the matter, and this will happen within the same year.

Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Bond mansion, the star appears red and bright, and the Hu people will have misfortune. The Qi Bei Five Stars Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, and remains in the Bond mansion, the country will certainly lose a famous person.

石氏曰：“熒惑守婁，即庫兵動，民多死。熒惑守婁，為有白衣之會。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守婁，有大臣不當其位，損常制亂政者；又日有水殃民，多疾。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守婁中，民病，民病，大水，金銀貴。熒惑守婁，旱，為多火災，五穀貴。”

郗萌曰：“熒惑守婁，有兵，北夷侵邊，道不通；又曰關梁不通，霸者爭立；又曰大赦天下；又曰北主死；又曰牛多死，牛大貴。熒惑以二月守婁百日，多山盜；一曰女多乳死。熒惑守婁之南，大赦。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence stays at Bond mansion, indicating military affairs, with northern barbarians disturbing the borders and roads blocked; also, it says that the passes and bridges are blocked, and the hegemonic lords are competing to establish themselves; also, it indicates a great amnesty; also, the ruler of the north will die; also, there will be a large number of cattle dying, and the price of cattle will rise. The Malefic of violence stays at Bond mansion for a hundred days in the second month, with many bandits in the mountains; another interpretation says that many women will die from childbirth. When the Malefic of violence stays at the southern side of Bond mansion, it indicates a great amnesty.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守婁，歲大飢，若收財物。”陳卓曰：“熒惑守婁，二十日以上，宮中大臣死，期八十日。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑守奎、婁，有名人死，民多疾。”《百二十占》曰：“熒惑守婁，車騎發，有死軍；一日貴人當獄事。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑入若守婁，天子受賀，期三十日，遠八月。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入守婁，其國坐之，一曰守三十日，其君憂。”

Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters and stays at the Bond mansion, that country will be punished for it; another interpretation is that if it stays for thirty days, the king will have worries.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯胃，為天下谷無實，以食為憂。熒惑犯胃，為國有暴兵伐中國者。”石氏曰：“熒惑入胃，主死；入三旬，王后死。”甘氏後：“熒惑入胃，二十日，天下有兵亂，倉粟出。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入天府，法令更。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入胃，國有匿謀，其事不行。熒惑以三月入胃，進退犯凌百日以上，天下倉廩不實，國有大兵，流血千里。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence invades the Stomach mansion, indicating that all grain in the world will be empty husks without substance, and people will worry about having food to eat. The three stars of the Stomach mansion are the granaries in the sky, governing the storage of grain, belonging to the region of Zhao. Therefore, the following events mostly relate to granary storage and grain prices in Zhao. The Malefic of violence invading the Stomach mansion indicates that there will be a powerful army attacking the Central States. The Shi school said: When the Malefic of violence enters the Stomach mansion, the monarch will die; if it remains for thirty days, the queen consort will die.

《二十八宿山經》曰：“熒惑黃黑繞環胃、昴、畢，憂多疾死。”《春秋圖》曰：“熒惑之胃，賤人當有封者。”石氏曰：“熒惑舍於胃，天下大飢，有轉粟之令。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守胃，糴大貴。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑守胃，其年旱，饑民多疫疾，倉粟不出。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑守胃，其國貴人戮死，賤人當貴；一曰大人有入牢獄者。”

The "Classic of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and Mountains" says: When the Malefic of violence appears yellow and black and circles around the Stomach mansion, Hairy Head mansion, and Net mansion, people become anxious and fearful, and many die of illness. The "Spring and Autumn Diagram" says: When the Malefic of violence reaches the Stomach mansion, there will be someone from humble origins who receives a reward. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence stops at the Stomach mansion, the whole country experiences a great famine, and the court issues orders to transport grain. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Stomach mansion, grain prices rise sharply.

The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Stomach mansion, that year will be drought and famine, with many people suffering from illness; if the ruler implements benevolent governance, it will instead be very auspicious. (Original note: The Gan school says, if the ruler implements benevolent governance, the Malefic of violence will retreat.) The Stomach mansion belongs to the Western metal, while the Malefic of violence belongs to the Southern fire, which is a case of fire overcoming metal; if the ruler can use benevolence and virtue to guide the principles of punishment and righteousness, there will be no calamity in the world. When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Stomach mansion, the granaries of the whole country will suffer fire. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Stomach mansion, there will be calamity from water. The book "Sea of the Middle" says: When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Stomach mansion for thirty days, the ruler will have worries.

The Western Palace Observations say: When the Malefic of violence guards the Stomach mansion, if the stars within the Stomach mansion appear numerous and dense, then grain will accumulate; if they appear sparse, then grain will be lost. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters and guards the Stomach mansion, it does not leave for thirty days, and the situation in Zhao becomes critical, half the people die, great armies rise, the invading forces are defeated, and the defending forces win. This prediction will come true within a year. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters or guards the Stomach mansion, and it appears from the east, the people become restless. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters or guards the Stomach mansion, cattle suffer from illness. When the Malefic of violence enters or guards the Stomach mansion along with the Heavenly Granary stars, there will be drought within forty days. Chen Zhuo says: When the Malefic of violence enters, invades, or guards the Stomach mansion, among the prominent people, some will die; or the sons of the prominent people will be imprisoned. The Sacred Concordance Symbol says: When the Malefic of violence retrogrades and guards the Stomach mansion, there will be urgent military affairs across the land, people will suffer from famine, the grain stored in granaries will be used up, there will be worries of excessive taxation, or there will be fires.

巫咸曰：“熒惑犯昴，若入之，中國有邊警；匈奴大出，四夷兵起，國有憂。”（案《晉書天文志》曰：晉成帝咸和六年十一月，熒惑守胃、昴，八年七月，石勒死，石虎自立，多所殘滅，是時雖勒、虎僭號，而其強帝占昴，不關太微，紫微宮。）

Wu Xian said: If the Malefic of violence invades or enters the mansion of Hairy Head, there will be alarms at the borders of the Central Plains; the Xiongnu will launch a major campaign, and the surrounding barbarian tribes will raise armies, causing troubles within the country. The seven stars of Hairy Head are also called Mao Tou, which is the star associated with the Hu people, governing punishments and border troops, and corresponds to the region of Zhao. Therefore, when Hairy Head is affected, it often indicates military conflicts with the Hu people and legal matters. (Original note: According to the Records of the Jin Dynasty's Astronomical Annals, in November of the sixth year of Xian He during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Jin, the Malefic of violence remained in the mansion of Stomach and Hairy Head; by July of the eighth year of Xian He, Shi Le died and Shi Hu proclaimed himself emperor, committing many killings and destruction. At that time, although Shi Le and Shi Hu claimed the imperial title, their power was only reflected in the divination about Hairy Head, not related to the Taiwei Enclosure or the Purple Micro Palace.)

《文曜鉤》曰：“充法律，熒惑入昴，天子有急令。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入昴，天下大安，無兵，有兵亦罷；四月、五月大赦，近期十五日，遠期三十日，赦；又曰不可為害；一日貴人多戮死。”巫咸曰：“熒惑入昴、畢中，一入一出，即有大兵，可立而待。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行入昴，成勾巳，天下大赦，期八十日。”

Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence enters the mansions of Hairy Head mansion and Net mansion, entering one and leaving the other, there will immediately be great military action, and one can expect it while standing. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence retrogrades into the mansion of Hairy Head mansion and forms the shape of 'hook己', the whole world will have a great pardon, which will occur within eighty days.

《洛書》曰：“熒惑入昴，二十日不下，國有大眾，甲兵大起，將軍有出者；（巫咸曰：期六十日，遠六月。）歲大，人飢。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑入昴，留二十日以上，牛馬多疾。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留昴，典吏多為奸者。”甘氏曰：“熒惑舍昴，天下多大賊。”郗萌曰：“熒惑舍昴，天下多賦斂。”

The Luo Writing says: The Malefic of violence enters the Hairy Head mansion, stays for twenty days without descending, the country will gather a large army, and there will be a great mobilization of military forces, with generals leading troops to campaign; (Original note: Wu Xian says, the period should be sixty days, and in distant cases, six months.) Although the harvest is considered abundant, the people still suffer from hunger. The Sea Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Hairy Head mansion and stays for more than twenty days, cattle and horses often fall ill. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence stays in the Hairy Head mansion, officials in charge of criminal justice have many who commit crimes and violate laws.

Xi Meng also says: When the Malefic of violence stops in the Hairy Head mansion, the country will have heavy taxation and levies.

巫咸曰：“熒惑出入留昴，赤色而光，因犯以行，邊地多警，不出三月，軍起，在其西北八百里。”《齊伯占》曰：“熒惑出入留舍犯昴，多有立屋室，且有兵。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑以春三月守昴，夏旱；夏守，秋旱；秋守，冬旱；冬守、春旱。熒惑守天獄，赦。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence enters and exits the Hairy Head mansion, stays there, and moves forward while invading, with a red and luminous appearance. There will be many alarms in the region, and within three months, there will be military movements at a place eight hundred li to the Northwest of the Hairy Head mansion's territory. The "Zhi Bo Zhan" said: When the Malefic of violence enters, stays, stops, and invades the Hairy Head mansion, there will be much construction of houses, and there will be military affairs.

The Malefic of violence staying at the heavenly prison star (the Hairy Head mansion is the heavenly prison because it governs criminal justice), indicates the issuance of pardons.

《河圖》曰：“君苛政擾，民苦其誅，愁氣布，則熒惑守昴，六月大怪。”《孝經章句》曰：“熒惑守昴，天下多獄，其政煩，雨澤不時，歲為中。”巫咸曰：“火犯守昴，四夷兵起。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守昴，無罪者誅。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When a ruler issues harsh and burdensome decrees that trouble the people, and the common folk suffer from excessive demands and are distressed, a gloomy atmosphere spreads, then the Malefic of violence will stay at the Hairy Head mansion, and a great strange phenomenon will appear in June. The Chapter of the Book of Filial Piety says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Hairy Head mansion, the country will have many cases and lawsuits, the government will issue complicated orders, the rain will be out of season, and the harvest will be of medium quality. Wu Xian says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays at the Hairy Head mansion, the four directions of the barbarians will raise armies. The Gan school says: When the Malefic of violence stays at the Hairy Head mansion, the innocent will be wrongly executed.

（案《石虎列傳》曰：十一年冬，熒惑守昴五十餘日，不移，太史令趙攬奏：昴、趙分也，熒惑舍留分，其王惡之，宜以朝寵貴大臣姓王者當之，虎於是假以他罪誅中書王浚，欲以消咎，於是議者進以宋景三吐仁君之言，熒惑退舍，夫修短分定，命不可延，而殺人求福，不亦悖乎。）

According to the notes in the original text: The "Shi Hu Lie Zhuan" records that in the winter of the tenth year of Jian Wu, the planet Mars remained stationed at the mansion of Hairy Head for more than fifty days without moving. The Grand Astronomer Zhao Lan submitted a report stating that the mansion of Hairy Head is the celestial region corresponding to the State of Zhao, and the planet Mars lingering within its own celestial region indicates that the king should be most wary of this omen. Therefore, he should have a prominent minister of the royal court who bears the surname Wang take on this calamity. Shi Hu then used some other charge to execute Zhong Shu Wang Jun, intending to eliminate this misfortune. At that time, people debated the old story of Song Jing Gong who spoke three times of a benevolent ruler, and as a result, the planet Mars retreated. They used this to advise against such actions. One should know that the length of life is determined by fate, and life is not something that can be forcibly prolonged. Relying on killing people to seek blessings is surely absurd.

巫咸曰：“熒惑守昴，天下多火災，萬物不成，人民疾，多死。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守昴，邊境不寧。熒惑守昴，憂在大人。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守昴，大人為亂，天下謀主，大將出反，國政不安；一曰多獄事，大將有囚者；又曰地裂山崩；又曰守一二日，相死；火以夏三月守昂，至秋糴貴。熒惑守昴，男子有急；一曰女子有急。熒惑守昴，當有津河發事。熒惑以二月守昴百日，其國有流民。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, and there will be many fires throughout the land, all things cannot mature, the people fall ill, and many die. The book "Sea Divination" says: The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, and the borders will not be at peace. It also says: The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, and calamity falls upon those in high positions. Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, those in high positions rebel, the people throughout the land plot against the ruler, great generals lead troops to rebel, the state affairs cannot be stable; another view says there will be many legal cases, and among the great generals some will be imprisoned; another view says there will be earth cracks and mountains collapsing; another view says that after waiting one or two days, the chancellor will die; when the Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull in the third month of summer, by autumn the grain price will rise sharply. The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, men will face urgent difficulties; another view says women will face urgent difficulties. The Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull, there will be incidents related to river crossings and waterways. When the Malefic of violence guards the constellation of the Bull for a hundred days in the second month, that country will have a large number of wandering people.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守昴東，齊越負兵；守其南，荊宋負兵；守其西，秦鄭負兵；守其北，燕趙負兵。熒惑守昴星，色大而黃，馬牛貴。”《西官候》曰：“熒惑守昴，兔多死，春三月旱，牛馬皆死。熒惑守昴，大將有外出者，若憂，旱；野有流血，大將死，士卒病。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: When the Malefic of violence is stationed east of the Hairy Head mansion, the states of Qi and Yue will suffer from military calamities; when it is stationed south of the Hairy Head mansion, the states of Jing and Song will suffer from military calamities; when it is stationed west of the Hairy Head mansion, the states of Qin and Zheng will suffer from military calamities; when it is stationed north of the Hairy Head mansion, the states of Yan and Zhao will suffer from military calamities.

When the Malefic of violence is stationed at the Hairy Head mansion, there will be a general who is away on campaign, or there will be worries and drought; blood will flow throughout the fields, a general will die in battle, and soldiers will fall ill.

《百二十占》曰：“熒惑守昴，且有急令，諸侯謀，道不通，陽為中國，陰為四夷，若陰圖有憂。”石氏曰：“熒惑若以三月守昴，皆百二十日，其國有白衣之聚。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守昴，以去後反守之，有臣為天子破匈奴者，期三年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑若守昴北，主突厥王死。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉成帝咸和八年七月，火入昴，是月石勒死。）

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" states: If the Malefic of violence (Mars) stays and guards the Hairy Head mansion, the court will issue an urgent decree, the feudal lords will secretly plot, and the roads will be blocked. The south of the Hairy Head mansion is yang, which corresponds to the Central States, while the north is yin, which corresponds to the four directions of the barbarians. If the Malefic of violence moves along the yin path, that region will suffer calamity. The Shi school says: If the Malefic of violence stays at the Hairy Head mansion during the third month for a full one hundred and twenty days, the country corresponding to that region will experience mourning gatherings. Wu Xian says: If the Malefic of violence guards the Hairy Head mansion, first leaving and then returning to guard it, there will be a minister who will break the Xiongnu for the Son of Heaven, and the fulfillment of this omen will be in three years. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If the Malefic of violence stays at the north of the Hairy Head mansion, the king of the Turkic people will die. The original book's marginal note cites the "Song Shu · Astronomical Records" which says: In the seventh month of the eighth year of Emperor Cheng of Jin's Xianhe era, the Malefic of violence entered the Hairy Head mansion, and in that same month, Shi Le of the Later Zhao died.

《春秋圖》曰：“熒惑經昴畢之間，而守之三十日不出，即馬踴其足，群凶相續，婦兒哀哭，無所止屬，民食不足，人相食。”《西官候》曰：“熒惑犯守昴中，民疾病；一日赦獄，訟疑出囚。”郗萌曰：“熒惑中犯乘守昴，兵北征匈奴；又曰為天下有禍；一曰逆臣為亂。”

The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the Malefic of violence passes through the Hairy Head mansion and the Net mansion, and stays for thirty days without departing, there will be turmoil in the military, horses and feet in disorder, various calamities following one after another, women and children crying in sorrow, people wandering without a home, insufficient food for the people, and even cases of cannibalism. The Western Officials' Observation says: When the Malefic of violence invades and stays in the Hairy Head mansion, the people will suffer many diseases; another account says that prisoners in jail should be pardoned and those with doubtful cases should be released. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence approaches the Hairy Head mansion directly, surpasses it, and stays there, the army will be about to march north to attack the Huns; another account says that there will be calamity throughout the land; yet another says that a rebellious minister will rise up and cause disorder.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑犯畢右角，大戰；犯畢左角，小戰。熒惑犯畢出其北，為陰國有憂；出其南，陽國有憂。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯畢，國有畋獵之事。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入畢中，國君有衛守。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入畢而出之，有赦令；一曰有德令，爵祿之事，期一百八十日。”

Bi Sux is one of the seven white tiger mansions in the western direction, corresponding to the region of Zhao in Ji Zhou, and oversees military affairs at the borders and the emperor's hunting activities. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states: if the planet Mars (Feng Huo) invades the right angle of Bi Sux, there will be a major battle; if it invades the left angle, there will be a smaller conflict. If Mars enters Bi Sux from its northern side, there will be troubles in the Yin region; if it enters from the southern side, there will be troubles in the Yang region. The "Sea Divination" says: if Mars invades Bi Sux, the country will have hunting activities. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: if Mars enters the middle of Bi Sux, the monarch will add guards around him. The "Wenyao Gou" says: if Mars enters Bi Sux and then exits from the middle, an amnesty will be issued; another interpretation says that edicts of benevolence will be issued, and matters concerning granting titles and salaries will be handled, with the fulfillment of the prophecy taking one hundred and eighty days.

巫咸曰：“熒惑入畢，將相憂；一曰國相亂。熒惑入畢中，各伺其出日而數之，二日期二十日，為兵發；伺如入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入畢中，有女主喪。熒惑入畢中，有大赦令，期十五日，若三十日將若相憂，若其國有白衣之聚，期不出一年。熒惑入畢，為憂兵，其國易主。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑入畢，將相有咎。”

Wu Xian said: The Malefic of violence entering the Net mansion indicates that generals and ministers will have troubles; another view is that the country's affairs of assisting in government will be disordered. When the Malefic of violence enters the Net mansion, one should wait for the day it exits to calculate the timing: if it stays for two days, the expected time is twenty days, when military actions will be taken; if it stays for one day, the expected time is ten days, when the army will disband. Xi Meng said: When the Malefic of violence enters the Net mansion, there will be mourning for a female ruler. When the Malefic of violence enters the Net mansion, there will be a proclamation of general amnesty, expected in fifteen days; if it is thirty days, then generals or ministers will have troubles, or the country corresponding to that region will have mourning gatherings, but the prediction will not be verified within a year. The Malefic of violence entering the Net mansion indicates military worries, and the country will change its ruler. The Jade Calendar says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Net mansion, generals and ministers will suffer calamities.

郗萌曰：“熒惑出畢中央，主也；出旁，臣也；其行徐，憂；其行疾，無故。”石氏曰：“熒惑出畢陽、則旱；出陰，則水；為政令不行。”《五行傳》曰：“熒惑行畢至昴，為死喪。”（案漢文帝七年，熒惑東行，行畢陽，還畢東北、西而逆行至昴南，而東行。後四年，趙王與七國謀反，北連匈奴，誅死之應。）

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence emerges from the center of the Net mansion, indicating calamity upon the sovereign; if it emerges from the side of the Net mansion, it indicates calamity upon the ministers; if it moves slowly, there will be worries and troubles; if it moves swiftly, there will be no incidents. The Shi school said: If the Malefic of violence exits from the southern yang path of the Net mansion, there will be drought; if it exits from the northern yin path of the Net mansion, there will be floods, and government orders will be difficult to implement. The "Transmission of the Five Phases" said: When the Malefic of violence moves from the Net mansion to the Hairy Head mansion, it indicates death and mourning. The original text's marginal note says: In the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Han, the Malefic of violence moved eastward, passing through the southern side of the Net mansion, then returned to the northeast of the Net mansion, and then moved westwardretrograde to the southern side of the Hairy Head mansion, and then turned eastward again. Four years later, the Prince of Zhao conspired with the seven states of Wu and Chu to rebel, and connected with the Xiongnu in the north, and was eventually executed and killed, which was the verification of this celestial phenomenon.

《河圖》曰：“熒惑在畢，畢天空也，不可為人客，為人客者殃罰。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑在畢，有德令。”郗萌曰：“熒惑與畢合，並光，主必亡。熒惑留畢昴間，天下道路塞，關梁不通。熒惑入畢中，留二十日以上，兵起，期四十日，若三月。”《西官候》曰：“熒惑留畢，臣獵不當。”甘氏曰：“熒惑舍畢，其國多枉刑。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The Malefic of violence is in the Net mansion, which is an empty position in the heavens; at this time, it is not appropriate for a guest army to attack others, and the side of the guest army will suffer punishment. The Spring Annals' Brocade says: The Malefic of violence is in the Net mansion, there will be a decree of benevolence. Xi Meng says: The Malefic of violence combines with the Net mansion, their lights are together, the ruler will certainly perish. When the Malefic of violence stays between the Net mansion and the Hairy Head mansion, the roads throughout the world will be blocked, and the passes, bridges, and roads will be unpassable. When the Malefic of violence enters the Net mansion and stays for more than twenty days, military actions will arise, and the fulfillment period is forty days or three months.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑犯東井，小有兵。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：安帝義熙九年二月丙午，熒惑填星皆犯東井，十三年三月，索頭大眾緣河為寇，高祖討之。奔退，其別帥跋嵩交戰，大破之，嵩殲馬，復攻關中，八月擒宏也。）

East Well is also known as the Well Mansion, which is the first among the seven mansions of the Vermilion Bird in the south. Its territory corresponds to the state of Qin in the region of Yongzhou, and it governs water sources, laws, and the court of the Son of Heaven. The book "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states that if the Malefic of Violence (Mars) invades East Well, there will be minor military conflicts. The original commentary refers to the "Book of the Celestial Officials · Records of Astronomy" which says: In the second month of the ninth year of Emperor Yan of the Jin Dynasty, on the day of Bingwu, Mars and the planet of Earth (Fill Star) together invaded East Well; by the third month of the thirteenth year of the same era, the forces of the Xiongnu entered the area along the Yellow River, and Emperor Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty dispatched troops to attack them. The enemy retreated, and their subordinate commander Baosong came into battle and suffered a great defeat, losing many war horses. Later, they attacked the area of Guanzhong, and in August they captured Yao Hong.

陳卓曰：“熒惑犯東井，群臣有以家事坐罪者。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：魏高貴鄉公正元二年十二月戊午。熒惑犯東井北轅西頭第一星，甘露元年。諸葛誕族滅。宋孝武大明二年三月辛未，熒惑入東井，其年四月，海陵王休茂為雍州刺史，五年，休茂反誅。）

Chen Zhuo said: The Malefic of violence invades the Well mansion, and among the ministers there will be those who will be punished due to private family matters. The original commentary notes according to the "Song Shu · Astronomical Records" say: In the second year of Zhengyuan during the reign of the Wei High Emperor Gaoxiang, in December the fifth day of the fifth month, the Malefic of violence invaded the first star at the western end of the northern row of stars in the Well mansion; by the time of the Ganlu period, Zhuge Dan raised an army in Shouchun and failed, his entire family was executed.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑以春入東井、有赦。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑東井，失道行陽，天下大旱，有火災，若內亂，期不出三。”石氏曰：“熒惑入東井，兵起，若旱，其國亂，有兵兵止，無兵兵起，大臣當之。（案《宋書天文志曰》晉成帝咸康元年八月戊戍，熒惑入東井，是年夏，發眾列戍，加王，遵司馬，以備胡賊也。）熒惑入東井，必先軍起役有令。熒惑角氣，行疾，入東井，十日相死；三十日主終，後命惡之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the Malefic of violence enters the Well mansion in spring, there will be an amnesty. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Malefic of violence reaches the Well mansion, it deviates from its usual path and moves along the southern yang path, resulting in great drought, fires, or internal rebellion, and the prediction will not be fulfilled within three years. The Shi school says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Well mansion, military actions will arise or there will be drought, and the country corresponding to that region will experience turmoil. If there was originally military action, it will cease; if there was no military action, it will begin, and the ministers will bear the calamity. The original commentary, citing the Song Dynasty's Book of Celestial Phenomena, states: In the first year of Xiankang of Emperor Cheng of Jin, in August of the Wuxu year, the Malefic of violence entered the Well mansion. That summer, the government conscripted people to build camps and garrisons, granted titles, and followed the duties of the司马 to guard against the Hu invaders.

石氏曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，貴相戮。熒惑守輿鬼，大人有祭祀之事。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，有兵兵罷，多水災，萬物五穀不成。熒惑守輿鬼，人君貴人憂，鈇鉞用。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，去復還居之，大國君不吉。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，出其南，水；其北、旱。”（巫咸曰：守北水，守南旱。）

The original book's marginal note cites Wu Xian saying: When it is stationed to the north, it indicates water; when it is stationed to the south, it indicates drought, which is exactly opposite to the previous statement.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，執法吏有過罪者；一曰主死，民多疾喪，棺木麻布貴；一曰牛馬貴。熒惑守輿鬼東北，男子兵相殺；守東南，萬民多死；守西北，以赦令解之。熒惑守輿鬼，在南，有男喪：在北，有女喪。熒惑守輿鬼，有土功事，若有德令。熒惑守輿鬼北七十日，好病；守南七十日，男子疾；熒惑經歷輿鬼中，東行還守西北角，有逐王來降；其後匈奴大敗北地。”（班固《天文志》曰：熒惑守輿鬼，為火變有喪，漢孝武六年，熒惑守輿鬼，其歲高園有火災，賓太后崩。）

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence resides in the Ghost mansion, indicating that officials who have committed crimes will be punished; another interpretation suggests the death of the sovereign, with many people suffering from illness and death, and the price of coffins and hemp cloth being high; yet another interpretation suggests that the price of oxen and horses will be high. When the Malefic of violence resides in the Northeast of the Ghost mansion, there will be mutual killing among men with weapons; when it resides in the Southeast, many people will die; when it resides in the Northwest, an amnesty decree can be used to alleviate the situation.

The original commentary cites Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records" which says: When the Malefic of violence resides in the Ghost mansion, it presages fires and mourning; in the sixth year of Emperor Wu of Han's Jianyuan era, the Malefic of violence resided in the Ghost mansion, and that year a fire broke out in the Gao Yuan, and the Dowager Empress (Dou太后) died.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守輿鬼東北星，棺木貴；守東南星，五穀貴；守西南星，金錢貴，守西北星，鐵器、魚鹽皆百倍。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，秦有疾病，金玉貴。”石氏曰：“熒惑守輿鬼，必大赦，期六十日；入鬼巳去，復還守之，大赦。熒惑出西方，若東方，出入輿鬼，守成勾巳，尊者失宗廟，期六十日，若百八十日。”

This occurs within sixty days or one hundred and eighty days.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑逆行，守輿鬼，成輿鬼，成勾巳，王者惡之，兵起，財帛金錢散，將軍有戰死者；若有火災，期不出年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入輿鬼，去復還守之，期不出三年中。熒惑入若守輿鬼，為多憂，財空出，亂，臣在內，若大臣謀，有干鉞乘質者，君人憂，金玉用，民多疾，從南入，為男；北人，為女；西入，為老；東入，為丁壯。”

The Spring Annals Commentary states: When the Malefic of violence moves retrograde and guards the Ghost mansion, it travels back and forth between the Ghost mansion and draws a curved shape. The king regards this as an ominous sign, military actions arise, wealth and money are lost, and there will be generals who die in battle; or there will be fires, but the prediction does not match the year. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence enters the Ghost mansion and then leaves and returns to guard it, the prediction will not exceed three years.

The "Sea Divination" says: When Mars both stays at and confronts the Heavenly Gate, it indicates that roads will be cut off; people will suspect each other, and the court will issue orders to block passes and bridges.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑行南河戍中，若留止守南河戍為旱。”石氏曰：“熒惑行南河戍中，若留止者，為四方兵起，百姓疾病。”郗萌曰：“熒惑行南河戍中，若留止守南河戍，皆為兵。”又占曰：“熒惑經南河戍之南，行法峻暴，誅罰不當；經北河戍之北，以女子金錢、貪色、奢侈、失治道；近期三年，中期六年，遠期九年而災至。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence, 'Flame Demon,' enters the three stars of the southern river garrison, or remains stationed in the southern river garrison, it indicates great drought across the land.

The southern river and northern river each consist of three stars, enclosing the Well mansion on both the north and south sides. The ancients called them 'southern garrison' and 'northern garrison,' which are the gateways in the heavens, as well as the boundary between China and the Hu lands.

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars stays between the two stars of the Southern River and the戍 star, indicating great misfortune for the ruler of a great state, and that his son will succeed him.

Xi Meng said: If the planet Mars appears to the north of the northern river and exits from there, or if it stays near the northern river or circles around it in a ring, it indicates that there will be a general who does not report to the court but independently launches an attack against the king of the barbarians and succeeds.

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars remains for a long time at the Tianque Gate, which is the gateway between the northern and southern rivers, through which the sun and moon and five stars pass. This indicates that the ruler has cut off the worship in the ancestral temple. To determine which country it refers to, one should calculate based on the stem and branch of the day when Mars enters the Tianque Gate. Xi Meng said: When Mars remains for thirty days within the Tianque Gate, it indicates a great mourning. Another divination says: When Mars stays at the gate of the sun and moon's entrance and exit, it indicates internal disorder in the country. To determine which country it refers to, one should calculate based on the stem and branch of that day. Another divination says: When Mars enters the Tian Gao Star, there will first be military action, followed by the issuance of an amnesty.

巫咸曰：“熒惑入五諸侯，伺其出日而數之，皆二十日，兵發；伺始入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”《文曜鉤》曰：“主軟弱，憒愚，則熒惑守五諸侯。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守五諸侯，諸侯有奪地、斬死者。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯五諸侯，諸侯有奪地、斬死者。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Mars enters the five feudal lords stars, one should wait for the day it leaves and count from that day, with a limit of twenty days. At that time, military actions will be launched. Then, according to the initial position where Mars entered, each day it stays corresponds to ten days, and on that day, the army will disperse. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the ruler is weak and foolish, Mars will stay at the five feudal lords stars. Xi Meng said: When Mars stays at the five feudal lords stars, it indicates that among the feudal lords, some will lose their territories and others will be beheaded. Shi Shen said: When Mars confronts the five feudal lords stars, it indicates that among the feudal lords, some will lose their territories and others will be beheaded.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯五諸侯，若守之，兵大起，將士出，諸侯有憂，若有兵死者，期三年。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉太興三年十二月巳亥，熒惑居五諸侯南，踟躕留止三十日。永昌元年三月，王敦攻京師，六軍敗績於是殺周頭刁協戴淵等。）《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯五侯，其國有兵，車騎出行；若貴臣有殃，若有死者。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑逆行，犯守五諸侯，秦國不以興兵，先起亡，後起昌。”郗萌曰：“熒惑中犯乘守五諸侯，為所中犯乘守者誅，若有殃期，三年兵發。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Flame) conflicting with the Five Ministers portends great military movements, soldiers going to war, the ministers of the feudal states suffering misfortune, or someone dying by weapon. This should occur within three years. (The original book's note, citing the "Astronomical Records" of the "Book of Song," says: In the twelfth month of the third year of Taixing of Emperor Yuan of Eastern Jin, the planet Mars stopped south of the Five Ministers and lingered for thirty days. By the third year of Yongchang, Wang Dun raised an army to attack the capital Jiankang, and the imperial army suffered a great defeat, so Zhou Yi, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others were killed.) The "Sea Divination" says: When the planet Mars conflicts with the Five Ministers, it indicates that the state involved will have military movements, with chariots and cavalry mobilized; or high officials and ministers will suffer misfortune, or someone will die. The "Jade Calendar" says: When the planet Mars moves retrograde and conflicts with or stays at the Five Ministers, the state of Qin should not be the first to take military action; the one who takes action first will suffer defeat, while the one who acts later will prosper. Xi Meng said: When the planet Mars directly conflicts with, conflicts with, overpowers, or stays at the Five Ministers, the feudal state that is thus attacked or occupied will suffer punishment or misfortune, and military action will be launched within three years.

巫咸曰：“熒惑入積水，大臣誅。熒惑守積水，有大名水出，出入定有水兵。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守積水，兵起，國有水災。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入積水，若守之，大小兵起。”巫咸曰：“犯守積水，水物不成，魚鹽貴。一曰以水為敗，糴大貴；民飢，期二年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Mars entering the star "Accumulated Water" (a single star located north of the Well mansion, which governs the accumulation of spring water and the provision of wine and liquor for worship, symbolizing the storage of water resources) indicates the execution of a high-ranking official. When Mars guards the Accumulated Water star, there will be a famous large river overflowing, and during the movement of Mars entering and exiting, there will certainly be floods and military conflicts. Gan De, a celestial observer from the State of Qi during the Warring States period, said: When Mars guards the Accumulated Water star, there will be military conflicts, and water disasters will occur within the country. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Mars enters or guards the Accumulated Water star, there will be military conflicts of various sizes. Wu Xian also said: When Mars confronts and guards the Accumulated Water star, the things produced in the water will not mature, and the prices of fish and salt will rise. Another interpretation is that due to water causing disasters, rice prices will soar, leading to hunger among the people, and this will occur within two years.

巫咸曰：“熒惑守積薪，大旱，江河易道，若火事。”石氏曰：“熒惑守積薪，大旱，為火事；庖官以火為憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守積薪，多火災，若火事，旱，兵起。”甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守積薪，天下大旱，五穀不登，民飢亡。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) staying at the star 'Ji Xin' (a single star located east of the Accumulated Water, which signifies the storage of firewood and charcoal for cooking and kitchen use) indicates a great drought, the changing course of rivers and canals, or the occurrence of fires. Shi Shen said: When Mars stays at Ji Xin, it indicates a great drought, and the kitchen officials should worry about fires. Xi Meng said: When Mars stays at Ji Xin, it indicates frequent fires or fire-related events, along with drought and military conflicts. Gan De said: When Mars confronts and stays at Ji Xin, it indicates a great drought across the land, poor harvests of grain, and the suffering of the people with hunger and migration.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守水位，下田不治。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守水位，天下以水為害，津關不通；一曰大水入城郭傷人民，皆不出二年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars (Flame Guest) stays at the 'Water Position' star (the four stars of the Water Position are located northeast of the Well Mansion, symbolizing the official in charge of water conservancy and irrigation; the heading of this section is written as 'Fire Position,' which is likely a homonym error for 'Water Position'), it indicates that low-lying fields cannot be cultivated. Shi Shen says: When Mars confronts and stays at the Water Position, it portends floods causing disasters throughout the country, with ferry crossings and border posts blocked; another interpretation is that great floods flood the city walls and harm the people. Both interpretations will occur within two years.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯軒轅、女御，天子僕死。熒惑犯軒轅，所中以官名名之，皆成刑。”（《黃帝占》曰：“成刑者憂喪。”）《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑入軒轅，主以后妃黨之過亡；一曰用事女當惑之；又曰：曰有白衣兵，期在百三十日。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入軒轅，中其端門中而東，大臣出令。”《雒書》曰：“熒惑犯若勾巳軒轅，妃后內亂。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑展轉軒轅中，遠後愛媵。”《春秋緯》曰：“專於妻妃，則熒惑展轉軒轅中。”

The *Jingzhou Zhuan* says: When Mars (Fenghuo) confronts the Xuan Yuan Star and the Nü Yu Star (Xuan Yuan consists of seventeen stars located north of the Seven Stars, shaped like a soaring dragon, representing the divine spirit of the Yellow Emperor and the image of the empresses; Nü Yu is the star in charge of the concubines), it indicates the death of the emperor's attendants. When Mars confronts Xuan Yuan, the star that is confronted is identified by the official title corresponding to that star, and the outcome will be related to punishment or execution. (A note from the original text citing the *Huangdi Zhuan* says: The term 'cheng xing' refers to calamity or mourning events.) The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Mars enters Xuan Yuan, it indicates the ruler's death due to the faults of his concubines and their relatives; another interpretation suggests that a powerful woman in power will be affected by this; it also mentions there will be mourning soldiers wearing white clothes, and the occurrence is expected within one hundred and thirty days. The *Jingzhou Zhuan* says: When Mars enters Xuan Yuan, and directly confronts its main gate then moves eastward, it indicates a minister acting independently and issuing orders without authority. The *Luoshu* says: When Mars confronts Xuan Yuan, or when it winds and coils within Xuan Yuan forming the shape of 'gou si', it indicates the empresses causing disturbances within the palace. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Mars moves back and forth within the Xuan Yuan stars, it indicates the ruler distancing himself from the empress and favoring the concubines. The *Chunqiu Wei* says: When the ruler favors a particular concubine, Mars will move back and forth within the Xuan Yuan stars.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑行軒轅中，犯女主；女主失勢，（失勢者，憂喪也。）列大夫有放逐者；五官有不法者；色悴，為憂，為疾，其所中犯乘守者誅，若有罪。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑中女御，為女主當之。”石氏曰：“熒惑在軒轅中，有女子謀人君者。”郗萌曰：“熒惑留軒轅，率留一日為十日久以率推之，其在軒轅四方，中央各為其方。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars moves into the star轩辕, and confronts the main star of the female ruler, it indicates the female ruler will lose power (the original note explains that 'losing power' means there will be calamity and loss). Among the officials in court, some will be exiled; among the five ministers, some will break the law. If the color of the stars appears dull and dark, it indicates sorrow and illness. Those whose stars are directly confronted, confronted, overpowered, or guarded by Mars will be executed or punished. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: If Mars directly confronts the star 女御, the female ruler will bear this misfortune. Shi Shen says: If Mars is in the star 轩辕, it indicates there will be a woman plotting against the king. Xi Meng says: If Mars remains stationary in 轩辕, it generally lasts for one day equivalent to ten days, and the time of occurrence can be calculated according to this ratio. Depending on the direction in which Mars is located—east, west, south, north, or center—the corresponding direction will be affected.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守軒轅，期五月，兵起。”《元命包》曰：“熒惑守軒轅，貴妾爭。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑守貴房側，主亂於色。”石氏曰：“熒惑守軒轅，宮中有放者，期百二十日內赦。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑守軒轅，十五日以上，大兵起，宮人不安，天下亂，國易政，期三年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Mars stays at Xuanyuan, it indicates military actions will arise within five months. The Spring and Mandate of Heaven says: When Mars stays at Xuanyuan, it signifies rival concubines receiving the ruler's favor and fighting each other. The Spring Orbit says: When Mars is stationed at the side of the noble inner chamber, it indicates the ruler's mind is disturbed by lust. Shi Shen says: When Mars stays at Xuanyuan, it indicates someone in the palace will be exiled, and an amnesty will be issued within 120 days. The Sea Divination says: When Mars remains at Xuanyuan for more than fifteen days, it indicates a large-scale military conflict, anxiety among palace officials, chaos throughout the land, and changes in state policies, which will occur within three years.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守軒轅，女主惡之。（《宋天文志》曰：前廢帝永光元年九月丁西，熒惑入軒轅在女主大星北、明年昭太后崩也。）熒惑守軒轅，天下有慶賀事。赦類也。”（《晉陽秋》曰：“孝武寧康元年七月乙未，火犯軒轅，大星，二年正月癸未，大赦天下。）

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence staying at Xuanyuan is most ominous for the female ruler. (The original book's note cites the "Astronomical Records" of the "Book of Song" which says: In the first year of Yongguang of the former废帝 of the Southern Song Dynasty, in September of the year Dingyou, the Malefic of violence entered Xuanyuan, located north of the great star of the female ruler; in the following year, the Empress Dowager Zhao died.) The Malefic of violence staying at Xuanyuan also indicates that there is something worth celebrating in the world, belonging to the category of pardons and forgiveness. (The original book's note cites Sun Sheng's "Jinyang Spring" which says: In the first year of Ningkang of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in July of the year Yiwei, the Malefic of violence clashed with the great star of Xuanyuan; by January of the second year Ningkang, the court pardoned all the people.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守犯軒轅，地動，又曰御女有誅者。”石氏曰：“熒惑守軒轅，守衛有誅者。”《河圖》曰：“熒惑入軒轅中，復還守，應以善事則已。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑逆行，守軒轅大星，環繞之若成勾巳，天下大亂，后妃當誅，宮破主亡，易其王，期百八十日，遠一年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars is stationed at the position of the Emperor Star and conflicts with it, it indicates an earthquake; it also says that palace concubines will be executed. Shi Shen says: When Mars is stationed at the Emperor Star, it indicates that palace attendants will be executed. The *Yellow River Chart* says: When Mars enters the position of the Emperor Star and remains there, returning repeatedly, if the ruler responds with good governance and proper actions, the calamity will be resolved. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Mars moves retrograde and is stationed at the Emperor Star, circling around it in a ring shape or twisting into a 'gou si' form, it indicates great chaos throughout the country, the empresses should be executed, the palace will be destroyed, the ruler will perish, and a new ruler will take the throne, with a period of one hundred and eighty days, or even up to a year.

巫咸曰：“熒惑行，犯守軒轅，女主失政，若失勢；一曰大臣當之，若有黜者；期二年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯乘，守軒轅，主命惡之。”石氏曰：“熒惑入軒轅中乘守之，有逆賊，若水災。熒惑中犯乘守軒轅太民星，大飢，大流，皇太后族有誅者，若有罪；中犯乘守少民星，小飢、小流，皇后之族有誅者，若有罪。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Mars (Feng Huo) moves and confronts or guards the star Xuan Yuan, it indicates that the female ruler will lose her authority or power; another interpretation suggests that a minister will bear this ominous fate, or someone will be dismissed. The period of this omen is two years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars confronts, dominates, and guards the star Xuan Yuan, it indicates that the ruler's life is threatened by this celestial omen. Shi Shen said: When the planet Mars enters the star Xuan Yuan and dominates it, it indicates the occurrence of a rebellious minister or a flood disaster. When the planet Mars directly confronts, confronts, dominates, or guards the star Tai Min, it indicates a great famine, large-scale migration of the people, and members of the empress dowager's family being executed, or someone being punished. When the planet Mars directly confronts, confronts, dominates, or guards the star Xiao Min, it indicates a minor famine, small-scale migration of the people, and members of the empress's family being executed, or someone being punished.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯少微，賢士有讓善者。”石氏曰：“熒惑入少微，君當求賢佐，不求賢佐，則失威嚴，奪勢矣。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守少微，名士有憂，五者任用小人，忠臣被害，有死者。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入犯乘守少微，宰相易。熒惑中犯乘守少微，女主憂。”石氏曰：“熒惑入中犯乘守少微，五官亂，宰相有憂。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting with the star Xiaowei (four stars in the Southwest part of the Taimei垣, representing recluses, hermits, and virtuous men in seclusion) indicates that among the virtuous men there are those who refuse to compete for merit and are willing to let others take precedence. Shi Shen said: If Mars enters Xiaowei, the ruler should seek out capable ministers; if he does not seek virtuous ministers, he will lose his authority and his power will be taken away. Shi Shen said: If Mars conflicts with and stays at Xiaowei, it indicates that renowned scholars will suffer misfortune, the ruler will appoint petty men, loyal ministers will be falsely accused, and even people may die (the original text's 'five things' should be a mistake for 'main thing'). The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If Mars enters, conflicts with, dominates, or stays at Xiaowei, the prime minister will change. If Mars directly conflicts with, conflicts with, dominates, or stays at Xiaowei, it indicates that the female ruler will have worries. Shi Shen said: If Mars enters and directly conflicts with, conflicts with, dominates, or stays at Xiaowei, it indicates that the officials under the five ministries will be in disorder, and the prime minister will have worries.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯太微，天下不安。”（《宋書天文志》曰：明帝泰始二年四月壬午，熒惑入太微。犯右執法，其年四方反叛，內兵大出，六師親戎，昭太后後崩，撫軍將軍殷孝祖為南賊所殺。尚書右僕射蔡興宗以熒惑犯右執法自解，不許，後失淮北四州地。彭城、兗州併為虜所沒。）

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars (Fenghuo) conflicting with the Taiwei constellation indicates that the whole country will not be at peace. The Taiwei constellation is the court where the Son of Heaven governs the state. Within the constellation, the Left Law Officer symbolizes the Chancellor of Justice, and the Right Law Officer symbolizes the Grand Minister of the Imperial Counsel. Therefore, whenever Mars enters and conflicts with the Taiwei constellation, the divination often points to the officials holding these positions. (The original book's note cites the "Astronomical Records" from the "Book of Song" which states: In the second year of Taishi during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Southern Song Dynasty, in the fourth month on the day of Renwu, Mars entered the Taiwei constellation and conflicted with the Right Law Officer star. In that year, rebellions broke out in all four directions of the state, the capital's army was mobilized on a large scale, and the Son of Heaven personally led the six armies. Soon after, the Empress Dowager Zhao died, and the General of the Pacification Army Yin Xiaozu was killed by rebels in the south. The Right Minister of the Secretariat Cai Xingzong requested to resign and avoid misfortune on the grounds that Mars had conflicted with the Right Law Officer, but the court did not permit it. Later, they indeed lost four states in the northern region of Huai River, and the cities of Pengcheng and Yanzhou were captured by the northern enemy forces.)

《帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑行犯太微左右執法，大臣有憂。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉成帝咸康四年五年戊戌，熒惑犯右執法，五年七月庚申，丞相王導薨。武帝永初三年九月癸卯，熒惑經太微犯右執法，已未犯左執法。元嘉三年徐羨之及傳亮謝晦悉誅，十六年九月熒惑犯右執法，明年大將軍義康出，徒豫章。誅其黨。《晉陽秋》曰：太元十二年五月丙午，熒惑出端門，犯左執法。十三年正月丙午，左將軍謝玄薨戊辰，冠軍將軍桓石虎薨。）

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: When the planet Mars passes through and confronts the two stars of the Left and Right Judicial Officers in the Taiwei constellation, it indicates that senior ministers will face calamities. The Left Judicial Officer corresponds to the position of the Court Censor, and the Right Judicial Officer corresponds to the position of the Imperial Censor, so the examples cited below are mostly related to high-ranking officials such as the Chancellor and the Attendant. (The original book's marginal note cites the "Book of the Later Han · Astronomical Records" which states: In the fourth and fifth years of Xiankang of Emperor Cheng of Eastern Jin, on the Wuxu day, Mars confronted the Right Judicial Officer; in the seventh month of the fifth year of Xiankang, the Chancellor Wang Dao died. In the third year of Yongchu of Emperor Wu of the Southern Song, on the癸卯 day, Mars passed through Taiwei and confronted the Right Judicial Officer; on the己未 day, it also confronted the Left Judicial Officer; in the third year of Yuanjia, Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, and Xie Hui were all executed. In the sixteenth year of Yuanjia, in September, Mars confronted the Right Judicial Officer, and the next year the Grand General Liu Yikan was demoted and sent to Yuzhang, and his followers were also executed. It also cites the "Jinyang Autumn" which states: In the twelfth year of Taoyuan of Eastern Jin, in May on the Bingwu day, Mars emerged from the end gate and confronted the Left Judicial Officer; in the first month of the thirteenth year of Taoyuan, General Shexian Xie Xuan died, and on the戊辰 day, General Huang Shiqian died.)

巫咸曰：“熒惑犯太微門右，大將死，門左，小將死。”（《晉陽秋》曰：孝武寧康元年九月癸巳，火入太微、掩西蕃上將，二年正月巳酉，北中郎將徐兗二州刺史刁彝薨，《宋書天文志》曰：晉成帝咸康六年三月甲寅，熒惑順行，犯上將星，四月丁丑，又犯右執法，是時何充為執法。有遣，命避其咎。明年求為中書令，建元二年。庚水死、皆大將執政之應也。是歲正月、征西將軍庚亮薨。穆帝昇平四年八月丙辰，熒惑犯太微西上將星、五年正月北中部郎將郗曇薨。宋前廢帝永興元年熒惑入太微，犯西上將星，其年太宰江夏王義恭尚書令，柳元景僕、射顏師伯等並誅，太尉沈慶之薨，廬陵王敬先、南平王敬猷，南康侯敬淵並賜死。司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝桓延熹八年五月壬午，熒惑入太微，犯右執法，九年九月辛亥，熒惑入太微西門，積五十八日九年十一月，太原守劉瓚荊州刺史李隗等皆棄市。永康元年十二月，太傅陳蕃、大將軍竇武、尚書令尹勳，黃門令山水等皆枉死。）

Wu Xian said: When the Malefic of violence (Mars) approaches the right side of the Taimei Gate, it indicates the death of a major general; when it approaches the left side, it indicates the death of a minor general. The Taimei Enclosure has two parts, eastern and western, each arranged from south to north with the positions of the chief general, the secondary general, the secondary minister, and the chief minister. The ranks of the generals on the left and right have inherent distinctions in hierarchy, hence the divination text distinguishes between major and minor generals. (The original book's marginal notes cite the "Jinyang Spring" saying: In the ninth month of the first year of Emperor Xiaowu of Eastern Jin's Ningkang era, on the癸巳 day, the Malefic of violence entered the Taimei and obscured the star of the chief general in the western enclosure; in the first month of the second year of Ningkang, the northern middle commander and governor of Xu and Yan states, Diaoyi, died. It also cites the "Song Book · Astronomical Records" saying: In the third month of the sixth year of Emperor Chengdi of Eastern Jin's Xiankang era, on the甲寅 day, the Malefic of violence moved in a regular direction and approached the star of the chief general; on the丁丑 day in the fourth month, it approached the right judicial officer. At that time, He Chong held the position of judicial officer. Some advised him to be transferred to an outer post to avoid this calamity, and the next year he requested to be appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat. In the second year of Jiayuan, Yu Bing died. These are examples of the signs corresponding to major generals and high-ranking officials. In this year's first month, the general of the Western Expedition, Yu Liang, died. In the fourth year of Emperor Mudi's Shengping era, on the丙辰 day in August, the Malefic of violence approached the star of the chief general in the western Taimei; in the first month of the fifth year of Shengping, the northern middle commander Xi Tan died. In the first year of Emperor Xiaowudi of the Southern Song Dynasty's Yongguang era, the Malefic of violence entered the Taimei and approached the star of the chief general in the western enclosure. In that year, the Grand Tutor Jiangxia Prince Liu Yigong, the Minister of the Secretariat Liu Yuanjing, the Chief Secretary Yan Shibo, and others were all executed, and the Grand General Shen Qingzhi died. Prince Luling Liu Jingxian, Prince Nanping Liu Jingyou, and Prince Nanke Liu Jingyuan were all given the death penalty. It also cites Sima Biao's "Continued Han Book · Astronomical Records" saying: In the eighth year of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty's Yanyi era, on the壬午 day in May, the Malefic of violence entered the Taimei and approached the right judicial officer; in the ninth year of Yanyi, on the辛亥 day in September, the Malefic of violence entered the western gate of the Taimei, and the total duration was fifty-eight days. In the eleventh month of the ninth year, the governor of Taiyuan Liu Wei and the governor of Jingzhou Li Hao were both executed and beheaded. In the first year of Yongkang, in December, the Grand Tutor Chen Fan, the Grand General Dou Wu, the Minister of the Secretariat Yin Xun, and the Director of the Yellow Gate Mountain Bing were all wrongfully executed.)

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯左右執法，左右執法者，誅若有罪。”陳卓曰：“熒惑犯太微東南陬星，天下大飢，近期一年，遠期五年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑道，從太微西蕃北南方星間入，到南蕃東方星間出道；中西蕃直出入者，非道也。”甘氏曰：“熒惑常以十月、十一月入太微天庭受制，而出行列宿，司天道之國，罰無道之君，失禮之臣，若犯左相，左相誅；犯右相，右相誅，守宮三旬，必有赦，期六十日。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting with the Left and Right Judicial Officials indicates that those who hold the positions of Left and Right Judicial Officials will be executed or punished. Chen Zhuo, a Jin dynasty astronomer, said: When Mars conflicts with the southeast corner of the Taimei constellation, it signifies a great famine across the country. The effect may occur within one year, or it may take five years. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: The normal path of Mars is to enter from between the southern star of the western part of the Taimei constellation and exit between the eastern star of the southern part of the Taimei constellation. If it enters and exits directly from the center of the western part of the Taimei constellation, then it is not following its normal path. Gan De said: Mars usually enters the Taimei court in the tenth and eleventh months to receive the mandate of the Son of Heaven, then proceeds to tour the twenty-eight constellations, inspecting the virtuous states, and punishing the tyrannical kings and disrespectful ministers. If it conflicts with the Left Minister star, the Left Minister will be executed; if it conflicts with the Right Minister star, the Right Minister will be executed. If Mars remains in the Taimei palace for thirty days, there will certainly be an amnesty, and the effect will occur within sixty days.

《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑常以十月丙子入太微宮七日，受制而出，行列宿，司無道之國，七日以上成災，如占。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑以戊子日順入太微庭中，受使於天子，不為咎，非其日，災殃如占。”郗萌曰：“熒惑當太微門，為受制；當左執法，為受事左執法；當右執法，為受事右執法；守太微門三日以下為受制；三日以上為兵、為賊、為亂、飢。”

The Xuanming Divination says: The planet Mars usually enters the Taimei Palace on the Bingzi day of the tenth lunar month, stays for seven days, receives the mandate of the Son of Heaven, and then departs to tour the twenty-eight constellations, inspecting countries that are unjust and tyrannical; if it stays more than seven days, calamity will arise, and the prophecy will be fulfilled accordingly. The Wenyaogou says: The planet Mars enters the Taimei court smoothly on the Wuzi day, which is in accordance with the Son of Heaven's command, and does not bring misfortune; if it enters on any other day, calamity will be fulfilled according to the prophecy. Xi Meng says: When the planet Mars is directly opposite the Taimei gate, it receives the heavenly mandate; when it is directly opposite the Left Law Officer, it receives its duties from the Left Law Officer; when it is directly opposite the Right Law Officer, it receives its duties from the Right Law Officer; if it guards the Taimei gate within three days, it still signifies receiving the mandate; if it stays beyond three days, it indicates military affairs, bandits, turmoil, and famine.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出東掖門，為相受命東南出，德事也，出西掖門，為將受命西南出，刑事也，期以春夏。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入天庭，色白潤澤，為期百八十日，有赦。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑入太微，而出端門者，臣不臣。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：“孝桓就壽元年八月已己，熒惑入守太微二十一日，出端門，為亂臣。是時梁氏專政。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars exits from the eastern gate, it signifies that the chancellor receives a mandate to travel to the southeast, which relates to acts of virtue; when it exits from the western gate, it signifies that the general receives a mandate to travel to the southwest, which relates to the use of punishment; the predicted time occurs in spring and summer. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Mars enters the celestial court (i.e., the Taimei Enclosure), if the star appears white and moist with a bright glow, the predicted time is one hundred and eighty days, and there will be an amnesty. The *Emperor's Enjoyment* says: When Mars enters the Taimei Enclosure and exits through the main gate, the ruler's ministers will not abide by their proper conduct. (The original book's note cites Wang Biao's *Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records* which states: In the first year of Jianshou during Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han, in August of the Jisi day, Mars entered the Taimei Enclosure and remained for twenty-one days, then exited through the main gate, indicating the presence of a rebellious minister; at that time, the eunuch family Liang was monopolizing the government.)

《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑入太微庭中央，帝族相攻伐，天子憂；若守端門，臣謀弒君；若留止門外，大臣戮死。熒惑入太微庭中，天倉閉，婦女不得食，天下饑荒。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入天庭，在屏南出門，扉左，左將死；出門扉左，右將死；直出無為。”《合誠圖》曰：“熒惑入華闕門，臣殺之候也。熒惑入庭中，臣多逆，不軌。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝靈光和五年四月，熒惑在太微中守屏，占曰：熒惑入太微，為亂臣，是時中常侍趙忠、張讓、郭勝，孫璋等並奸亂也。）

The Shengqia Fu says: When the planet Mars enters the central court of Taiwei, it indicates that the imperial family and its clans will fight among themselves, and the emperor will be anxious and fearful; if it stays at the end gate, it indicates that ministers will plot to kill the sovereign; if it remains outside the gate without entering, it indicates that high ministers will be killed. When Mars enters the central court of Taiwei, it indicates that the Heavenly Granary is sealed, women cannot obtain food, and the whole country will suffer from famine. Xi Meng says: When Mars enters the heavenly court and exits through the gate south of the screen star, if it leans to the left side of the gate, it indicates that the left general will die; if it exits leaning against the left side of the gate, it indicates that the right general will die; if it exits straight through, there will be no corresponding event. The Hecheng Tu says: When Mars enters the central gate of Zhonghua, it is a sign of ministers killing the sovereign. When Mars enters the court, it indicates that many ministers will rebel and act against the law. (A note from the original text cites Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han · Astronomical Records": In the fourth month of the fourth year of Guanghe during the Eastern Han Lingdi Emperor's reign, Mars was in Taiwei, waiting at the screen star. The divination text said that Mars entering Taiwei indicates the presence of a rebellious minister; at that time, the middle attendants Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, and others were conspiring to seize power and cause chaos.)

石氏曰：“熒惑入太微中華東西門，若左右掖門，而南出端門者，為必有反臣。熒惑入太微西門，出東門，臣謀其主，人君不安，欲求賢佐，有入中華西門，出中華東門，為臣出令；有入太陰西門，出太陰東門，為天下大亂；有喪，若水大。熒惑若入中華西門，天子憂之；若出中華東門，天下大亂，兵大起，期不出二年。”

Shi Shen said: If the planet Mars enters from the eastern gate or western gate of Taiwei, or from the left or right gates, and exits to the south through the end gate, there will certainly be a rebellious minister. If Mars enters from the western gate of Taiwei and exits through the eastern gate, it indicates that ministers plot against the king, the king cannot rest in his seat, and urgently seeks capable ministers for assistance. If Mars enters from the western gate of Zhonghua and exits through the eastern gate, it signifies that ministers act independently and issue orders on their own. If Mars enters from the western gate of Taiyin and exits through the eastern gate of Taiyin, it indicates great chaos throughout the land, calamity, or a major flood. If Mars enters from the western gate of Zhonghua, the emperor will be troubled. If it exits through the eastern gate of Zhonghua, it signifies great chaos and large-scale warfare, with the event occurring within two years.

甘氏曰：“熒惑出太微天庭中，有立王；若徙王。”郗萌曰：“熒惑出天庭中，當道而為勾巳天庭，天下更紀。”（《宋天文志》曰：“晉安帝義熙十四年十月癸已熒惑入太微，犯西蕃上將，仍順行至左掖門。留二十日，乃逆行，元熙元年三月五日，出西蕃上將西三尺許。又陡還入太微時填星在太微，繞填星成勾巳。其年四月二十七日丙戍。從端門出，占曰：熒惑填星勾巳天庭，天下更紀。二年六月，晉帝遜位。高祖入宮也。）

Gan De said: The planet Mars (Fenghuo) emerging from the Taimei celestial court mainly indicates the establishment of a new king or the relocation of an existing king. Xi Meng said: When the planet Mars emerges from the celestial court, it is moving along the correct path but winding within the celestial court in the shape of "gou si", indicating a change of dynasty and the reestablishment of a new era. (The original book's note cites the "Astronomical Records" of the "Book of Song": In the fourteenth year of Emperor An of Eastern Jin's Yixi era, on the tenth month, on the day of Guisi, the planet Mars entered the Taimei, and attacked the western wall's Upper General Star. Then it moved forward to the Left Gate, staying for twenty days before turning back. In the first year of Yuanxi, on the fifth day of the third month, it exited to the west of the Upper General Star on the western wall, about three feet away, then suddenly turned back and reentered the Taimei. At that time, the planet Saturn ("Tianxing") was in the center of Taimei, and the planet Mars wound around the planet Saturn in the shape of "gou si". On the 27th day of the fourth month of that year, on the day of Bingxu, the planet Mars emerged from the end gate. The divination text said: When the planet Mars and the planet Saturn form the shape of "gou si" within the celestial court, the world will undergo a change of dynasty and a new era will be established. By June of the second year of Yuanxi, Emperor Gong of Jin abdicated the throne, and Liu Yu, the founder of the Song dynasty, entered the palace.)

郗萌曰：“熒惑入太微西門，犯天庭、出端門，為臣伐主，入西門，而折出右掖門，為大臣假主之威，而不從主命。熒惑入西華門，出端門，為臣詐稱詔。熒惑入太微端門，出東門，為貴者奪威勢。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑出門微南門，執法用大事；出械掖門，大臣誅。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝安延光二年八月巳亥，熒惑出太微端門，是時大將軍耿寶中常侍江京等譖太子乳母王男，廚監邴吉等，殺之，徙其父母妻子日南也，九月丁酉，廢太子為濟陰王。）

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars enters from the western gate of Taimei and attacks Tian Ting, then exits through the end gate, indicating that a minister will attack the king. If Mars enters from the western gate and exits through the right yeying gate, it signifies that a high official will use the king's authority without obeying the king's orders. If Mars enters from the Xihua gate and exits through the end gate, it indicates that a minister will forge an imperial edict. If Mars enters from the Taimei end gate and exits through the eastern gate, it signifies that the powerful ministers will seize the king's authority. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Mars exits from the southern gate of Taimei, it indicates that officials in charge of law will handle major cases; if it exits from the yeying gate, it signifies that a high official will be executed. (The original book's note cites Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records" which states: In the second year of Yan Guang during Emperor An of the Eastern Han, in August, on the Jihai day, Mars exited from the end gate of Taimei. At that time, General of the Guards耿宝 and the Middle Attendant江京 falsely accused the wet nurse of the crown prince王男 and the kitchen supervisor邴吉, and had them executed, and also exiled their parents and spouses to Jinnan. In September on the Dingyou day, the crown prince was deposed and made the Prince of Jiyin.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入太微宮，為天下驚，一曰有兵。熒惑入天庭，國不安其宮。熒惑入太微庭中，主命無期。熒惑入天庭，君子惡之，又曰大臣死。熒惑入太微，色白無芒，天下大亂，一曰天下大飢。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars enters the Palace of Taiwei, it indicates great disturbances and unrest throughout the realm; another interpretation suggests there will be military conflicts. When Mars enters the Court of Tianing, it signifies that the sovereign cannot reside peacefully in the palace. When Mars enters the court of Taiwei, it indicates that the lifespan of the ruler is uncertain. When Mars enters the Court of Tianing, the current virtuous officials most fear this celestial phenomenon, and it is also said to indicate the death of a minister. When Mars enters Taiwei, if the star appears white without a sharp edge, it foretells great chaos across the land; another interpretation suggests widespread famine.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑東行入太微庭，出東門，天下有爭兵，（《宋書天文志》曰：安帝義熙十年五月癸卯，熒惑順行入太微，十一月林邑寇交州刺史杜慧度距戰於九真，大敗之。）若守將相丞御史大臣有死者；若入端門，守天庭，大禍至，入南門，出東門，國大旱；若入南逆行，出西南門，有大水，逆行入東門，出西門，大國破亡，若順入西蕃，而留不去，楚國凶殃。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars moves eastward into the court of Taiwei, then exits through the eastern gate, it indicates there will be warfare in the country. (The original book's note cites the "Book of the Song · Astronomical Records" which says: In the tenth year of Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, fifth month, on the day of Guimao, Mars moved eastward into Taiwei; in the eleventh month, the Liyichu state invaded, and the governor of Jiao State, Du Hui Du, met them at Jiuzhen and defeated them greatly.) If Mars waits at the General Star, the Minister Star, the Deputy Minister Star, or the Censor Star, it indicates death among the ministers; if it enters through the end gate and stays in the heavenly court, great calamity will come; if it enters from the southern gate and exits through the eastern gate, there will be a great drought in the country; if it enters from the south and moves westward, exiting through the southwest gate, there will be a great flood; if it moves westward, enters through the eastern gate, and exits through the western gate, it indicates the downfall of a great state; if it moves eastward into the western wall and stays there, it indicates misfortune for the state of Chu.

巫咸曰：“熒惑逆行入太微天庭中，為大臣有誅，若諸侯戮死，期二年。”石氏曰：“熒惑逆行太微之中，及出左右掖門者，有逆謀，天子有命將征伐之事，一曰大赦可以解其患。”郗萌曰：“熒惑逆行，入左掖門，為臣劫其主。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉安帝元興三年正月戊戍，熒惑逆行犯太微西垣，占曰：天子戰于野，上相死，是年二月丙辰，殺桓玄等，桓循劫帝如江陵。）

Wu Xian said: The planet Mars moves retrograde into the Taimei celestial court, indicating that a high minister will be executed or a feudal lord will be killed, and this will occur within two years. Shi Shen said: The planet Mars moves retrograde within Taimei and exits from the left and right gates, indicating that someone is plotting rebellion, and the Son of Heaven will appoint generals to go to war; another interpretation suggests that a great amnesty can resolve this calamity. Xi Meng said: The planet Mars moves retrograde into the left gate, indicating that a minister will seize control of the ruler. (The original book's note cites the "Song Shu · Astronomical Records" which says: In the first month of the Wuxu year of Emperor An of Eastern Jin's Yuanxing third year, the planet Mars moved retrograde and conflicted with the western section of Taimei. The divination text indicates that the Son of Heaven will fight in the wild and the chief minister will die. In the second month of the same year, the Huan Xuan group was killed; later, Huan Zhen seized control of Emperor An and moved him to Jiangling.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑逆行入太微天庭中，為諸侯將有殺上者；至黃座而成，不至黃座而還，有謀不成，以其日入占國。熒惑逆行天庭中不止，有大獄。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入太微宮中，至屏而留，有兵在中。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入天庭中，留十日以上，赦。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars moves retrograde into the court of Taiwei, it indicates that among the feudal lords and their generals, someone will attempt to kill the sovereign. If it stops at the seat of the Yellow Emperor, the plot will succeed; if it does not reach the Yellow Emperor's seat and turns back, the plot will fail. To determine which state it will affect, one should refer to the heavenly stem and earthly branch of the day it enters. If Mars continues to move retrograde within the court of Taiwei, it signifies major legal disputes. Xi Meng says: If Mars enters the palace of Taiwei and stops at the star Ping, there will be a military mutiny within the palace. Xi Meng also says: If Mars enters the court of Taiwei and stays for more than ten days, there will be an amnesty.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑道南蕃，入留止南門，為大臣有憂。（司馬彪《天文志》曰：光武中元，二年八月丁巳，火犯太微西南角星，相去二寸，太微西南星，為將相、後太尉趙熹，李訴等免官。）熒惑入太微，若從右入，七日以上，為人主有憂。（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝桓永康元年正月庚寅，熒惑逆行入太微東門，留百日，出端門，其年十二月丁丑。桓帝崩。《宋書天文志》曰：晉簡文咸安元年十二月辛卯，熒惑逆行入大太微二年三月不退。是時帝憂桓玄之逼，常懷憂慘，十二月帝崩也。）熒惑入天庭中二十日以上，延尉坐之，期六月。熒惑留太微庭中，為天下大憂；中央留十日以上，為天下有亡徒為兵者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars enters the southern enclosure and stops at the southern gate, it indicates that high officials will suffer calamity. (The original commentary cites Wang Biao's *Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records* which says: In the second year of Zhongyuan of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the eighth month on the day Dingsi, Mars approached and collided with the southwest corner of Taimei, at a distance of two inches; the star in the southwest of Taimei symbolizes ministers and generals. Later, officials such as Taishi Zhao Xi and Li Xin were all dismissed from office.) If Mars enters Taimei from the right and stays for more than seven days, it indicates the sovereign will suffer calamity. (The original commentary cites Wang Biao's *Continued Book of Han: Astronomical Records* which says: In the first year of Yongkang of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in January on the day Gengyin, Mars retrograded and entered the eastern gate of Taimei, staying for a hundred days before exiting through the end gate; in December of that year, Emperor Huan died. It also cites the *Book of Song: Astronomical Records* which says: In the first year of Xian'an of Emperor Jianwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in December on the day Xinmao, Mars retrograded and entered Taimei, and did not retreat until March of the second year; at that time, Emperor Jianwen was troubled by the pressure of the Huán clan, often feeling anxious, and died in December.) If Mars stays in the court of Tianting for more than twenty days, the chief justice will be punished and implicated, with the event occurring within six months. If Mars remains in the court of Taimei, it indicates great calamity for the whole country; if it stays in the center for more than ten days, it indicates that people will gather to form armies due to fleeing.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守太微垣門外之左，延尉有事；守門外之右，丞相御史有事。熒惑守端門中二十日，臣謀反，主出走，期不出百二十日。”（《宋書天文志》曰：“晉海西公太和六年，閏月，熒惑守端門十一月，桓玄廢帝。）甘氏曰：“熒惑守角亢，反守太微，臣有謀兵天子者。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑守太微，王者惡之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Mars stays on the left side outside the Taiwei Enclosure, it indicates that the Minister of Justice will have troubles; when it stays on the right side outside the Taiwei Enclosure, it indicates that the Chancellor and Imperial Censor will have troubles. If Mars stays within the End Gate for twenty days, it foretells that ministers will plot rebellion and the sovereign will flee, and the event will occur within a period of no more than one hundred twenty days. (The original book's note cites the "Astronomical Records" from the "Book of Song" saying: In the sixth year of Tahe during the reign of the Eastern Jin dynasty's Haixi Emperor, there was a leap month when Mars stayed at the End Gate; by November, the Han clan deposed the emperor.) Gan De says: When Mars first stays at the Horn Mansion and Neck Mansion, then turns back to stay at Taiwei, it indicates that there are plots among ministers to raise troops against the Son of Heaven. The "Spring Annals Brocade" says: When Mars stays at Taiwei, it is deeply feared by the sovereign.

郗萌曰：“熒惑守太微，諸侯及三公謀其上，鈇鑕用，必有斬臣；又曰女主不吉。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉元康三年四月，熒惑守太微六十日後，賈后陷殺太子，而趙王廢后，又殺之，斬張華，裴顯遂纂位，廢帝為大上皇，天下從此構亂連禍也。）《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑入太微，無所犯守，順度而行，出左右掖門，所之野，天子謀之。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Mars stays in the Taiwei constellation, it indicates that the feudal princes and the Three Dukes are plotting against the sovereign, and the instruments of execution will be used, and certainly a high official will be beheaded. He also said this is inauspicious for a female sovereign. (The original book's note cites the "Book of the Celestial Officials" from the "History of the Southern Dynasties" which says: In the fourth month of the third year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Mars stayed in the Taiwei constellation for sixty days; later, Jia Hou plotted to kill the crown prince, and Wang Sun of the House of Sima deposed Jia Hou and had her killed, then beheaded Zhang Hua and Pei Wei, and subsequently seized the throne, deposed Emperor Hui of Jin as the retired emperor, and thus chaos spread throughout the land.) The "Xuanming Divination" says: When Mars enters the Taiwei constellation, it neither attacks nor stays, but moves in its usual course, exiting from the left and right gates. Then the region it moves toward is the one where the Son of Heaven is planning to act.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑干太微，留守三日以上，為必有兵革，天下赦。”《合誠圖》曰：“熒惑入太微，陵犯留止，後三年，必有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入太微天庭，所犯乘守者，若有罪，各以守官名之。熒惑食太微東西蕃，四輔輔臣有誅者。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars confronts the Taiwei constellation and stays there for more than three days, there will certainly be warfare, followed by a royal decree of amnesty. The Diagram of Harmony and Truth says: If Mars enters the Taiwei constellation, bullying and confronting it while staying there, there will certainly be mourning within three years. The Jingzhou Divination says: If Mars enters the Taiwei court, any star that is confronted, overpowered, or guarded by Mars will correspond to a person who will be punished, and each star will be matched with the official title it represents. If Mars obscures the stars of the eastern and western walls of Taiwei, it indicates that the ministers assisting the four assistants will be executed.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯黃帝座，改政易王，天下亂，存亡半。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入中華門，犯帝座，天下亂，賊臣害主，破宮；期九十日。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯黃帝座，大臣戮死。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑入太陰西門，犯黃帝座，天子宮破國滅絕嗣，不出二年。”甘氏曰：“熒惑中黃帝座，臣殺其主。”《雒罪級》曰：“熒惑入黃帝座，不吉；強臣弒主。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入黃帝座，大人戮死，朝廷有哭。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting with the Yellow Emperor's seat (a single star located at the center of the Taimei Enclosure, symbolizing the emperor himself) indicates a change in government policies, a replacement of the ruler, great chaos throughout the country, with half of the people surviving and half perishing. Gan De said: When the planet Mars enters from the Central Gate and conflicts with the Yellow Emperor's seat, it indicates great chaos, ministers plotting against the ruler, the palace being attacked, and the event will occur within ninety days. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the planet Mars conflicts with the Yellow Emperor's seat, it indicates the death of high-ranking ministers. The Jade Calendar says: When the planet Mars enters from the western gate of Taiyin and conflicts with the Yellow Emperor's seat, it indicates the destruction of the emperor's palace, the collapse of the state, and the extinction of the royal lineage, which will happen within two years. Gan De said: When the planet Mars directly conflicts with the Yellow Emperor's seat, it indicates that a powerful minister will kill the ruler. Gan De also said: When the planet Mars enters the Yellow Emperor's seat, it is an ominous sign, indicating the death of a person of high status and mourning sounds in the court.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入天庭直出，期十日，入蕃期二十日，去出尺，期十日，用赦。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入帝座，其色白者，為有赦。熒惑入天庭，至黃帝座，有赦。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑近黃帝座北，諸侯徙，天子辱；若中黃帝座，為大人傷。”甘氏曰：“熒惑近黃帝座，大臣謀，為亂不成。熒惑觸黃帝座，主亡。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守黃帝座，為大人憂。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Mars enters the heavenly court and exits directly, the period is ten days; when it enters the enclosure, the period is twenty days; when it leaves and moves about one foot away, the period is ten days, and at that time, an amnesty should be carried out. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Mars enters the throne of the Emperor, and the star appears white, it indicates there will be an amnesty. When Mars enters the heavenly court and moves toward the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates there will be an amnesty. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When Mars approaches the north side of the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates that the feudal lords will migrate and the Son of Heaven will be disgraced; if Mars directly faces the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates that a person of high rank will be harmed. Gan De said: When Mars approaches the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates that the ministers have plots in their hearts, but the rebellion will not succeed. When Mars touches the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates that the ruler will perish. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: When Mars guards the throne of the Yellow Emperor, it indicates that a person of high rank will have worries.

《玉曆》曰：“熒惑入太微，犯四帝，臣有謀，若被誅。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守四帝，臣謀主，去之一尺，事不成。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯乘守四帝坐，闢憂。”（闢君也。）甘氏曰：“熒惑中犯乘守四帝坐，天下亡。”

The Zhi Li states: If the planet Mars enters the Taimei region and confronts the seats of the Four Emperors (the Yellow Emperor's seat is surrounded by the seats of the Blue Emperor, the Red Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Black Emperor, collectively known as the Four Emperors), it indicates that ministers may have plots, or someone may be executed. Shi Shen says: If Mars confronts and stays at the seats of the Four Emperors, it signifies that ministers may plot against the ruler; if it is more than a foot away, the matter will not succeed. Shi Shen also says: If Mars confronts, dominates, or stays at the seats of the Four Emperors, it indicates the ruler will have worries. (Original book note: "Bi" refers to the ruler.) Gan De says: If Mars directly confronts, confronts, dominates, or stays at the seats of the Four Emperors, it indicates the collapse of the world.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入太微宮中，至屏而留，為有兵在中。”（《宋書天文志》曰：宋明帝泰始二年正月甲午，熒惑逆行，在屏而南，其年四方及叛，內兵大出，六卿親戎。）甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守屏星，君臣失禮，下謀上，一曰大臣有戮死者。”石氏曰：“熒惑中犯乘守屏星，為君臣失禮，而輔臣有誅者，若免罷去。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars enters the Taimei Palace, travels to the Ping Star and then stops, indicating there will be a military disturbance within the palace. (The original book's note cites the "Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi" which says: In the second year of Taishi during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Southern Song Dynasty, in the first month on the day of Jiawu, the planet Mars moved retrograde and was located south of the Ping Star; during this year, there were rebellions in all four directions, and the capital's military forces were mobilized, with the six ministers personally leading troops.) Gan De said: The planet Mars confronts and guards the Ping Star (the Ping Star is within the Taimei Enclosure, serving as a barrier to block the Imperial Seat, symbolizing the ritual distance between the sovereign and ministers), indicating that the sovereign and ministers have lost proper decorum, and the lower ranks plot against the higher ranks; another interpretation is that there will be a minister who is killed. Shi Shen said: The planet Mars directly confronts, confronts, overshadows, and guards the Ping Star, indicating that the sovereign and ministers have lost decorum, and the ministers in charge of assisting the sovereign will be executed or dismissed.

甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守郎位，輔臣有誅，左右宿衛者為亂，王者宜備之。”

Gan De said: If the planet Mars (Flame) confronts and occupies the position of the attendant stars (the fifteen stars of the attendant officials located in the Northeast of the Great Enclosure, symbolizing the attendants of the sovereign), it indicates that a minister assisting in governance will be executed, and those serving as guards on the sovereign's side will rebel. The sovereign should be prepared in advance.

巫咸曰：“熒惑守郎將，曰凌，凌則將有誅，若將有憂；一曰大臣為亂，戒慎左右。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯乘守郎將，且有以符節為奸者。熒惑中犯乘守郎將，必有不還之使。”

Wu Xian said: When Mars is in conjunction with the General Star (the General Star is one star located north of the position of the Officer, symbolizing the Tiger贲 Middle General who commands the officers), it is called "ling" (to encroach). If Mars encroaches, it indicates that the general will be executed or suffer misfortune; another interpretation suggests that ministers will rebel, and the sovereign should be cautious about the attendants around him. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When Mars confronts, encroaches upon, or occupies the position of the General Star, there will be someone using a seal to commit wicked deeds. If Mars directly confronts, encroaches upon, or occupies the position of the General Star, there will certainly be envoys who go out but do not return.

甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守常陳，守衛有謀，兵起宮中，天子自出行，誅，期百八十日，遠一年。”

Gan De said: When the planet Mars (Feng Huo) confronts and guards the star Chang Chen (the seven stars of Chang Chen, located north of the Imperial Seat, forming the appearance of the imperial guard and ceremonial equipment, symbolizing military defense and protection), it indicates that those in charge of guarding will have conspiracies in their hearts, and there will be a military revolt within the palace. The Son of Heaven will personally intervene to deal with the situation and carry out executions. This event will occur within a period of one hundred and eighty days, or possibly up to a year.

《玉曆》曰：“熒惑入犯上臺司命，近臣有罪，若有誅，一曰近臣有逃去者，以五色占：黃白、無故；青黑，憂死喪；期一年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守上臺，宮中禁門燔，太尉病，天子惡之，犯守中臺，司徒、公族、皇后忌；犯守下臺，司空為庶人；皆期百七十二日。”《文曜鉤》曰：“熒惑犯守中臺，司中奸臣有謀，若有誅者，中公當之。”巫咸曰：“熒惑犯守下臺，司祿近臣有罪，若出走；色黑者死。”

The "Jade Calendar" says: When the planet Mars enters and confronts the two stars of the Director of Destiny (the Star of Ranks, which consists of six stars divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks; the upper rank is called the Director of Destiny, the middle rank is called the Director of the Middle, and the lower rank is called the Director of Wages, corresponding to the positions of the Three Grand Ministers), it indicates that a close minister will be punished or executed; another interpretation is that there will be a minister who flees; further, according to the five colors of Mars: if it appears yellow or white, there will be no incident; if it appears green or black, it indicates sorrow and death; the occurrence is expected within a year. Xi Meng says: When Mars confronts and stays at the upper rank, it indicates that the palace's forbidden gates will catch fire, the Grand Minister of State will fall ill, and the emperor will be wary of this omen; when Mars confronts and stays at the middle rank, the Minister of Works, the royal family, and the empress will be subject to taboos; when Mars confronts and stays at the lower rank, the Minister of Public Works will be demoted to commoner; these occurrences are expected within 172 days. The "Wenyao Gou" says: When Mars confronts and stays at the middle rank, it indicates that there will be a traitor plotting at the position of the Director of the Middle, or someone will be executed, and the officials corresponding to the middle rank will bear the consequences. Wu Xian says: When Mars confronts and stays at the lower rank, it indicates that a close minister at the position of the Director of Wages will be punished or flee; if the color of Mars turns black, the person will die.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守三臺三十日，天下大亂，兵起宮中，大臣戮死；若守三臺間，尤甚急，期百八十日。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守三臺三日以上，三公有戮死者。熒惑守三能之中央百二十日，三公皆謀，害國。熒惑入天柱，天下有慶賀之事。熒惑居天柱，兵起，三年乃止。熒惑留繫天柱，地大動，兵大起。”《春秋緯》曰：“天下奮擊，臣子相譖，三公專恣；則熒惑流而觸能。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Mars stays at the Star of Ranks for thirty days, it indicates great chaos throughout the country, military rebellion in the palace, and the death of high ministers; if Mars stays between the different levels of the Star of Ranks, the situation becomes especially urgent, and the predicted time is one hundred and eighty days. Xi Meng says: If Mars stays at the Star of Ranks for more than three days, it indicates that one of the Three Dukes will be killed. If Mars stays at the center of the Star of Ranks for one hundred and twenty days (the Star of Ranks is also called San Neng), it indicates that the Three Dukes will conspire together, endangering the state. If Mars enters the Po Jun star, it indicates that there will be something worth celebrating in the world. If Mars remains at the Po Jun star, it indicates that military affairs will arise and take one hundred and eighty days to subside. If Mars lingers and is entangled near the Po Jun star, it indicates great earthquakes and large-scale military conflicts. The Spring Annals' Divination says: When there is mutual attack among the people, and ministers falsely accuse each other, and the Three Dukes abuse their power, Mars will move to offend the Star of Ranks.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯相星，輔臣凶。熒惑守相星三十日，大臣為亂，天下兵起，人主有憂。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting with the star Xiang (Xiang Yi Xing, located south of the Big Dipper, symbolizing the prime minister who assists the emperor) indicates that a minister in charge of state affairs will face misfortune. If Mars remains at the position of Xiang star for thirty days, it signifies that high-ranking officials will cause chaos, military conflicts will arise throughout the country, and the ruler will face troubles.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯守太陽守，執御臣憂，內將軍有死者，期九十日。”甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守太陽守，大臣戮死，若有誅，期不出年。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting and guarding the Star of Brightness and Prestige (Tai Yang) indicates that the ministers and generals who are in charge of the court's security will face worries. There will be death among the palace generals, and this will occur within ninety days. Gan De said: When Mars conflicts and guards the Star of Brightness and Prestige, it signifies that a minister will be killed or someone will be executed. This outcome will occur within the same year.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天獄，貴人多枉死者。”石氏曰：“熒惑入天牢，若守之二十日。名人有繫者；一曰若有赦，期不出百八十日。《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯守天牢，王者以獄為蔽，一曰貴臣多下獄，若有叛臣篡獄殺君，不出二年。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars enters the Heavenly Prison (which is the Heavenly Prison, six stars located beneath the handle of the Big Dipper, symbolizing a prison for noblemen), it indicates that many people of high status will die unjustly. Shi Shen says: When Mars enters the Heavenly Prison, or stays there for twenty days, it signifies that a person of reputation will be arrested and imprisoned; another interpretation suggests there will be an amnesty, but this will not occur within 180 days. The book "Haizhong Divination" says: When Mars confronts and stays in the Heavenly Prison, it indicates that the sovereign will be troubled by legal matters; another interpretation suggests that many high-ranking officials will be imprisoned, or there will be a traitorous minister who seizes the prison and kills the sovereign, this will happen within two years.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入文昌宮，庭中有兵，天下有耗，土空民飢。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑入文昌庭，守二十日以上，必有兵，君不康。”石氏曰：“熒惑入文昌，天下大亂，王者憂，亡期一年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守文昌，天下大亂，不出其年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入司命，近臣有抵罪者。熒惑三十日舍司祿，民大疾，舍司命，小童疾。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Mars enters the Star of Examinations and Documents (which consists of six stars located before the北斗's handle, governing the offices of chief general, second general, noble minister, Director of Destiny, Director of Justice, and Director of Wages), it indicates military conflicts within the court, widespread loss throughout the land, barren fields, and famine among the people. The Spring Orbit says: When Mars enters the court of the Star of Examinations and Documents and stays for more than twenty days, there will certainly be military conflict, and the ruler will not find peace. Shi Shen says: When Mars enters the Star of Examinations and Documents, it signifies great chaos across the land, the sovereign will have worries, and the time of downfall is one year. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Mars stays at the Star of Examinations and Documents, it indicates great chaos, which will occur within the same year. Xi Meng says: When Mars enters the Director of Destiny star, it indicates that there will be officials close to the ruler who will be punished. If Mars stays at the Director of Wages star for thirty days, it indicates a great plague among the people; if it stays at the Director of Destiny star, it indicates illness among children.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入北斗魁，天下多獄，廷尉坐之。熒惑入守北斗，貴人有繫者。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守北斗，天下大亂，諸侯皆起兵，王者有憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守北斗，有移徙民，宮宅賤。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑守衡星，有女喪，若貴女有殃；有兵兵罷，無兵兵起。”《雄圖三光占》曰：“熒惑入北斗魁中而守之十日，天下大亂，易其王，天子死，五都亡，期二年，遠三年。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars entering the northern part of the Big Dipper (the first four stars of the Big Dipper are called the 'Kui', and the last three are called the 'Shao'; the Kui is where heavenly justice and the nobleman's prison are located) indicates that there will be many lawsuits throughout the country, and the Minister of Justice will be punished and implicated. When Mars enters and stays in the Big Dipper, it indicates that prominent people will be arrested. Gan De said: When Mars stays in the Big Dipper, it indicates great chaos throughout the country, and the feudal lords will all rise up in rebellion, causing the ruler to have worries. Xi Meng said: When Mars stays in the Big Dipper, it indicates that the people will migrate and move around, and the prices of houses and residences will fall. The Jade Calendar says: When Mars stays at the fifth star of the Big Dipper called Yu Heng, it indicates there will be the death of a woman, or a prominent woman will suffer misfortune; existing military conflicts will cease, and those without military conflicts will start. The "Xiong Tu San Guang Zhan" says: When Mars enters the Kui of the Big Dipper and stays there for ten days, it indicates great chaos throughout the country, a change of ruler, the death of the emperor, and the destruction of the five directions' cities. This will occur within two years, and if it is distant, then within three years.

《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑入北斗杓頭，為政令猶豫。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑抵北斗杓頭星，女主政令猶豫，若女主用事，期一年。”齊伯曰：“熒惑舍北斗西，人相食；舍其東，五穀無實；舍其南，果無實，舍其北而之東，天下大兵戰。”郗萌曰：“熒惑繫輔星，有死相，若夷之。”巫咸曰：“熒惑與北斗斗，有徙王、移都邑，宮室破壞，人民去其鄉，不出年。”

The Spring Annals says: When the planet Mars enters the tip of the handle of the Big Dipper, it indicates the imperial court's decrees are hesitant and indecisive. The Sea Divination says: When Mars confronts the star at the head of the Big Dipper's handle, it signifies that a female ruler will issue orders hesitantly and inconsistently, or that a female will hold power and govern, and this will occur within a year. Qi Bo says: When Mars resides in the west of the Big Dipper, it indicates a great famine where people eat each other; when it resides in the east, it indicates that the five grains will not mature; when it resides in the south, it indicates that fruits will not bear; when it resides in the north and then moves eastward, it indicates that there will be a great war across the land. Xi Meng says: When Mars entangles the auxiliary star (which is beside the balance of the Big Dipper and symbolizes the chancellor), it indicates the death of the chancellor or his execution. Wu Xian says: When Mars contends with the Big Dipper, it indicates the transfer of the king, the relocation of the capital, the destruction of palaces, and the departure of the people from their homeland, all occurring within the same year.

石氏曰：“熒惑入紫微宮中，大臣有謀，兵宮中，天下大亂，人民傍徨，背棄其鄉，逃走四方，期不出二年，遠三年。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入紫微宮，天下邑裂，大夫多死者，一為天下有亡國，天下無人，一曰帝有亂臣；一曰天下大亂；又曰從陰入有死王。”

Shi Shen said: If the planet Mars enters the Purple Micro Palace, which is the dwelling place of the heavenly emperor and symbolizes the imperial palace on earth, it indicates that ministers have treacherous intentions, there will be military rebellion within the palace, chaos throughout the land, the people will be confused and helpless, abandoning their hometowns and fleeing in all directions. This event will occur within two years at the latest, or up to three years if it is delayed. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: If Mars enters the Purple Micro Palace, it signifies that cities and towns across the land will break apart, many officials will die; another interpretation suggests there will be the calamity of a country's destruction, with the population within the territory completely cut off; another suggests there will be a traitor close to the emperor; another suggests great chaos throughout the land; and another says that if Mars enters from the side of the yin position, it indicates the death of the king.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“熒惑守紫微宮中，天下諸侯伐其主，主以驕暴失帝位。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守紫微宮，民莫處其家宅，流移去其鄉。”《荊州占》曰：“內亂。”（《宋書天文志》曰：“晉孝懷永嘉三年正月庚子，熒惑犯紫微，占曰：當有野死之王，又為火燒宮。是時太吏令高堂沖奏；乘輿宜遷幸，不然必無洛陽。後帝崩於平陽。）

The "Imperial Inspection and Enjoyment" says: When the planet Mars is stationed in the Purple Micro Palace, it indicates that the feudal lords will rebel against their sovereigns, and the sovereign will lose his throne due to arrogance and cruelty. Wu Xian says: When Mars is stationed in the Purple Micro Palace, it indicates that the common people cannot live in peace in their own homes, but instead will scatter and migrate, leaving their homeland. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: It indicates internal turmoil within the palace. (The original book's note cites the "Song History · Astronomical Records" which says: In the third year of Yongjia during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, in the first month on the day of Gengzi, Mars approached the Purple Micro Palace. The divination text predicted that there would be a king who would die in the wilderness, and also a fire that would destroy the palace buildings. At that time, the Grand Astronomer Gao Tangchong submitted a report, saying that the imperial carriage should be moved to another place, otherwise Luoyang would certainly be lost. Later, Emperor Hui of the Western Jin indeed died in Pingyang.)

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入紫宮，犯北極中央大星，為不道，臣殺其君，子害其父，賊臣破國，天下大亂，期不出九十日。”《春秋緯》曰：“熒惑犯北極左星，支為嗣。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯北極中央大星，帝有亂臣，應以善事巳。”巫咸曰：“火入北極，天下亂，兵大起，聚於一國；若出之疾，兵還罷。”《荊州占》曰：“火入天樞，國家有變，一為天下之兵聚一國。”《雄圖三光占》曰：“火入北極，天子憂；若犯抵之，天子死，後宮亂，不出三年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The Malefic of violence enters the Purple Palace, and confronts the central star of the Northern Dipper (which is Tian Shu, representing the throne of the heavenly emperor and the image of the sovereign), indicating there will be rebellious and lawless acts, ministers killing their sovereigns, sons harming their fathers, treacherous ministers overturning the state, and great chaos throughout the land, with the occurrence of these events not exceeding ninety days. The Spring纬 says: The Malefic of violence confronting the left star of the Northern Dipper indicates a collateral branch succeeding to the throne. Xi Meng says: The Malefic of violence confronting the central star of the Northern Dipper indicates there are rebellious ministers close to the emperor; as long as good governance is implemented, the calamity will cease. Wu Xian says: The Malefic of violence entering the Northern Dipper indicates great chaos throughout the land and large-scale military conflicts gathering in one country; if it quickly withdraws, the military conflicts will immediately disperse. The Jingzhou Divination says: The Malefic of violence entering Tian Shu indicates a change of state affairs in the country; another interpretation is that all the armies of the world will gather in one country. The Xiong Tu San Guang Divination says: The Malefic of violence entering the Northern Dipper indicates the emperor will have worries; if it confronts and opposes the Northern Dipper, it indicates the death of the emperor, great disorder in the harem, and this will occur within three years.

《黃帝占》曰：“火出天樞，兵盛於四野。”《荊州占》曰：“火舍天樞下三月，芒赤色怒，地大動，民大恐，兵起不已，三年乃止。”甘氏曰：“火犯北極，若守之，大臣謀主，若耀刺北極，為殺太子，期百二十日。”《荊州占》曰：“火守天樞，大人憂；一曰天子女多死。”郗萌曰：“火犯太子星，太子憂死，犯庶子星，庶子憂死；一曰中犯北極星，主有大憂；一為有大喪；一為有反相。”《荊州占》曰：“火守鉤陳，人主憂。”黃帝曰：“火犯鉤陳，後宮亂，兵起宮中，倖臣謀主，王者有憂。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence emerges from the Heavenly Pivot, it indicates that military power will prevail throughout the land. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence resides beneath the Heavenly Pivot for three months, its red and fierce light will cause great earthquakes, widespread panic among the people, and continuous warfare that lasts for three years before ceasing. Gan De says: When the Malefic of violence confronts the Northern Pole Star or remains near it; if its light directly pierces the Northern Pole Star, it indicates the death of the crown prince, and this will occur within 120 days. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Heavenly Pivot, it indicates that a person of high status will have worries; another interpretation says that many of the emperor's daughters will die. Xi Meng says: When the Malefic of violence confronts the crown prince star, it indicates the crown prince will be anxious and die; when it confronts the younger son star, it indicates the younger son will be anxious and die; another interpretation says that if it directly confronts the Northern Pole Star, the ruler will have great worries; another says there will be a great mourning; another says there will be signs of rebellion. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence guards the Hook Chen, it indicates the ruler will have worries. The Yellow Emperor says: When the Malefic of violence confronts the Hook Chen (Hook Chen consists of six stars located in the Purple Micro Palace, representing the imperial harem and palace guards), it indicates great disorder in the harem, a military mutiny within the palace, and favored ministers plotting against the ruler, causing the sovereign to face troubles.

石氏曰：“火犯天一，倖臣有謀，有兵起，人主憂。”齊伯曰：“火守天一，臣弒其主。餘殃為水災。”

Shi Shen said: The Malefic of violence confronts Tian Yi star (Tian Yi star is located to the right outside the gate of the Emperor star palace, it is the deity of the heavenly emperor, governing warfare and knowing the fortune and misfortune of people), indicating a favored minister harboring schemes, military conflicts arising, and the sovereign being anxious and fearful. Qi Bo said: When the Malefic of violence guards Tian Yi star, it signifies a minister killing the sovereign, and the remaining calamity will be water disaster.

石氏曰：“火犯守太一，倖臣有謀，有兵起，人主憂。”

Shi Shen said: The Malefic of violence confronts and guards the Taiyi star. The Taiyi star is located south of the Tianyi star, and is also the divine spirit of the heavenly emperor, in charge of the sixteen spirits, knowing matters concerning wind, rain, water, drought, and military affairs. This indicates that a favored minister harbors schemes, and military actions will arise, causing the sovereign to feel anxious and fearful.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑犯天庫，兵車出庫，所指兵往也。”石氏曰：“熒惑入天庫，有兵；火守庫，兵起，亂十年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入天庫，騎官兵起，期三年中，一曰天下有驚，若歲旱。”又占曰：“熒惑赤色，角三芒，三十日舍天庫，國有急，五諸侯悉發甲兵。”《玄冥》曰：“熒惑守庫樓，兵車大出，守之一月，兵亂十年乃罷。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑逆行守天庫，兵起，未罷；若順行，乃罷。以其遠近、東西南北，其日占之。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars (Flame) approaches the Heavenly Repository (the ten stars of the Horn Mansion located south of the Horn Mansion, symbolizing military chariots and the arsenal), it indicates that military chariots will be dispatched from the treasury. The direction in which the light of Mars points will indicate the direction in which the military forces will move. Shi Shen says: If Mars enters the Heavenly Repository, there will be military affairs; if Mars guards the Repository, military disturbances will arise and last for ten years. Xi Meng says: If Mars enters the Heavenly Repository, there will be military uprisings from the cavalry officials, and this will occur within three years; another interpretation is that the whole country will be in shock, or there will be drought in the same year. Another divination says: If Mars appears red, with three rays, and stays in the Heavenly Repository for thirty days, it indicates that the country will have urgent military affairs, and the five regional princes will all mobilize their armies. The玄冥 (Darkness) says: If Mars guards the Repository, there will be a large-scale military deployment; if it remains for a month, the military disturbances will last for ten years before ceasing. The Sea Divination says: If Mars retrogrades and guards the Heavenly Repository, there will be military disturbances that cannot be stopped; if it changes to a forward movement, the military disturbances will cease; further, according to the distance from the Repository and the direction in which it is located (east, west, south, or north), combined with the day's stem, the situation can be predicted.

郗萌曰：“熒惑，天候也，主發兵，常舍於南門；其出，色赤白而大，東西南北非其常，謀國兵起，其入則兵入，其所行而留止，兵隨而攻之。”又占曰：“熒惑居處無常，入時不得，求之南門中。”石氏曰：“熒惑若守南門，兵車大起。”又占曰：“熒惑入守南門，天下戰其北也。”又占曰：“熒惑犯南門，邊夷兵起，若道路不通。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars is the scout of heaven, in charge of military affairs. It often stays near the Southern Gate, which is located south of the Kulu star cluster and is considered the outer gate of heaven. When Mars appears with a red and white color and a large, coarse appearance, and its position in the east, west, south, or north deviates from the norm, it indicates that there will be plots against the state and military actions. When Mars retreats, the military forces also retreat inward. Wherever Mars stops, the military will attack there. Another divination says: If Mars has no fixed position and cannot be found at the appointed time, one should look for it near the Southern Gate stars. Shi Shen said: If Mars stays at the Southern Gate, it indicates a large-scale military movement. Another divination says: If Mars enters and stays at the Southern Gate, it indicates warfare in the northern part of the country. Another divination says: If Mars approaches the Southern Gate, it indicates that the people of the border regions will rise up in rebellion or that roads will be blocked and impassable.

石氏曰：“熒惑守平星，兵起，且以亂亡。”又占曰：“熒惑犯平星，凶。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守平星，執政臣憂，若有罪誅者，期一年。”又占曰：“熒惑守平星，有獄出疑囚。”

Shi Shen said: When the planet Mars is in conjunction with the star Ping, which is located north of Kulu and symbolizes officials responsible for fair legal judgments, it indicates the rise of military affairs and the country's downfall due to turmoil. Another divination text says: When Mars conflicts with the star Ping, it signifies misfortune. Gan De said: When Mars is in conjunction with the star Ping, it indicates that high-ranking officials will face worries or that someone will be punished and executed, with the event occurring within a year. Another divination text says: When Mars is in conjunction with the star Ping, it indicates that prisoners with questionable evidence will be released from prison.

石氏曰：“熒惑入騎官，若守之，兵大起，車騎用，將軍出，若騎士憂。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守騎官，不出二十日，赦天下。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守騎官，有兵馬多發，若多死。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars entering the constellation Qi Gan (which consists of twenty-seven stars located south of the Root Mansion, symbolizing the emperor's personal soldiers and cavalry), or remaining in Qi Gan, indicates major military movements, with the use of chariots, horses, and cavalry, and generals going to war, or cavalry facing worries. Xi Meng said: If Mars remains in Qi Gan, a great amnesty will occur within twenty days. Gan De said: If Mars remains in Qi Gan, it signifies a large conscription of troops or a significant number of military casualties.

石氏曰：“熒惑入積卒，若守之，兵大起，士卒大行，若多死，期二年。”《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑犯守積卒，主失位，天下亂，兵大起，期百二十日。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守積卒，主失位，天下凶。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars entering the cluster of the accumulated soldiers (the twelve stars of accumulated soldiers are located south of the Room Mansion, symbolizing the gathering of soldiers), or guarding the accumulated soldiers, indicates a great outbreak of military affairs, a large mobilization of troops, or a great number of casualties, with an expected period of two years. The "Xuan Ming Zhuan" said: When the planet Mars conflicts and guards the accumulated soldiers, it indicates the ruler losing his position, great chaos in the world, and a great outbreak of military affairs, with an expected period of one hundred and twenty days. Shi Shen said: When the planet Mars conflicts and guards the accumulated soldiers, it indicates the ruler losing his position and the world suffering misfortune.

甘氏曰：“熒惑守龜星，天下大水；去之疾，則旱，萬物不成，人民飢。”石氏曰：“熒惑守龜星，兵起，兵在外，再守龜，兵罷。”又占曰：“熒惑守龜星，有白衣聚，以入日占何國。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑犯守龜星，天下有水旱之災；守陽則旱，守陰則水。”

Gan De said: When the planet Mars is in conjunction with the Turtle Star, which is located south of the Tail Mansion and as a water object, it presages great floods throughout the land; if it departs quickly, it will instead indicate drought, with all things failing to mature and people suffering from hunger. Shi Shen said: When Mars is in conjunction with the Turtle Star, it presages the outbreak of military conflicts; if the army is already deployed abroad and Mars again comes to join the Turtle Star, the military conflicts will cease. Another divination text says: When Mars is in conjunction with the Turtle Star, it indicates a gathering of people wearing mourning clothes; according to the stem and branch of the day when it enters the mansion, one can determine which state it will affect. The "Sea Divination" says: When Mars confronts and joins the Turtle Star, it presages water and drought disasters throughout the land; if it is in the yang aspect of the Turtle Star, it will be drought; if it is in the yin aspect, it will be flood.

石氏曰：“熒惑犯守傳說，王者簡守廟，廢五祀，後宮凶；一曰有絕嗣君，期不出二年。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicting and offending the star Fuyue (a single star located after the Tail mansion, symbolizing the virtuous minister Fu Yue of the Yin High King who ascended to heaven after death, governing worship and descendants), indicates that the ruler neglects the worship of ancestors, abandons the maintenance of the inner door, well, stove, and other five regular sacrifices, and the palace suffers misfortune. Another interpretation suggests that a ruler whose lineage is cut off should experience this within two years.

石氏曰：“熒惑守魚星，在其陽旱，在其陰水。”巫咸曰：“熒惑守魚星，火暴出，天下旱，五穀不成，人民大飢，期不出年。”甘氏曰：“熒惑犯守魚星之陽，為大旱，魚行人道；之陰，為大水，魚鹽貴。”

Wu Xian said: When Mars stays at the Fish Star, it indicates sudden fires, great drought across the land, poor harvest of grain, and severe famine, with the predicted outcome not occurring in the same year. Gan De said: When Mars confronts and stays at the yang side of the Fish Star, it indicates a great drought, with rivers drying up so much that fish can walk on the roads; if it stays at the yin side, it indicates a great flood, with fish and salt becoming very expensive.

《玉曆》曰：“熒惑守杵星，國有急兵，有賦米之事；若有軍糧之急。”《海中占》曰：“熒惑入杵星，若守之，天下有急發米之事，不出其年。”

The Yulu says: When the planet Mars is in conjunction with the杵 star (the three stars of the Winnowing Basket mansion to the north, paired with the臼 star, which governs the grinding of rice for sustenance), it indicates that there will be urgent military affairs within the country, requiring the collection of rice and grain from the people, or that the military grain supply is in critical need.

The玄冥 Divination says: If Mars enters and stays at the star of the tortoise, the ruler will have to change the water channels or suffer a great drought, with rivers drying up so much that fish can walk on the roads.

石氏曰：“熒惑守九坎，天下旱，名水不流，五穀不成，人民大飢；一曰之陽，大旱；之陰，有水。”甘氏曰：“熒惑守九坎，其國大旱，若大火之變，期百八十日。”石氏曰：“熒惑犯守九坎，凶。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) staying in the Nine Pits (Jiu Kan), which are nine stars located south of the Ox mansion (Niu Xu), where the Nine Pits govern ditches and water storage, as well as irrigation matters, indicates great drought across the land, with famous rivers drying up, crops failing, and the people suffering severe famine; another view is that if it is on the sunny side of the Nine Pits, it indicates great drought; if it is on the shady side, it indicates flooding.

The mortar is already broken, indicating a disruption of cooking and a lack of security in households. This portends that common people cannot reside in their own homes, and they will be distressed to the point of losing their cooking utensils. Alternatively, they may be forced to wander and leave their homeland. Another divination passage says: When Mars stays at the broken mortar, it signifies famine and loss of life.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入羽林之宮二十日，天子當之。”郗萌曰：“熒惑經過羽林中，天子為軍自守。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑舍羽林之宮，兵大起。”《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑守羽林，大赦。”石氏曰：“熒惑守羽林，馬有行，期三十日。”又占曰：“熒惑芒角赤色，守天軍三十日，大國有急，諸侯悉發兵甲；一曰興兵者亡。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars enters the palace of the Feather Forest for twenty days (the Feather Forest consists of forty-five stars located south of the constellation Yingshi, symbolizing the emperor's personal military force, also known as the heavenly army), the emperor himself must bear this ominous omen. Xi Meng says: When Mars passes through the Feather Forest, it indicates that the emperor will need to rely on his military forces for self-defense.

又占曰：“熒惑守羽林，兵起，期六十日；火經羽林，臣欲弒主。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉孝武太元元年九月，熒惑犯哭泣星。入羽林，占曰：中軍兵起，三年六月，熒惑又守羽林。占曰：禁兵起，四年六月，兗州刺史謝安，謝玄擊氏賊，大破之，餘皆走，十四年十二月，熒惑入羽林，十五年，翟遼據司兗，眾軍屢討弗克，鮮卑又跨略並冀。安帝義熙四年十月戍子，熒惑入羽林，五年高祖討鮮卑，是後南北軍旅運轉不息。宋文帝元嘉十三年十二月戊子，熒惑入羽林，後三年，廢大將軍彭城王義康及其黨與犯，所收掩皆羽林兵出也。）

Another divination passage states: When the planet Mars stays in the Yulin region, it indicates the outbreak of military actions, and the event will occur within sixty days; when Mars passes through Yulin, it signifies that a minister or a subject may attempt to assassinate the sovereign. (The original book's marginal notes cite the "Celestial Officials Annals" from the "Book of Song": In the first year of Taoyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of Eastern Jin, in September, Mars approached the star of mourning, then entered Yulin, and the divination passage predicted that the central army would rise in rebellion; in June of the third year of Taoyuan, Mars again stayed in Yulin, and the divination passage indicated that the palace guards would rise in rebellion. In June of the fourth year of Taoyuan, the governor of Yanzhou, Xie Xuan, obeyed the command of Xie An to attack the enemy forces of the Di people, defeating them in a great defeat, and the remnants scattered. In December of the fourteenth year of Taoyuan, Mars entered Yulin; in the fifteenth year, Zhai Liao occupied the states of Sizhou and Yanzhou, and the imperial armies repeatedly launched campaigns but failed to achieve victory, while the Xianbei people invaded the states of Bingzhou and Jizhou across the border.

《聖洽符》曰：“熒惑入羽林守之二十日以上，臣欲弒主，大人當之，期九十日。”（案《荊州占》曰：“漢二年熒惑入羽林，起角三芒守之三十日，國有負兵，秦以之亡也入。）《海中占》曰：“熒惑入守羽林，入有兵起；若逆行變色成勾已，天下大兵，關梁不通，急不出其年。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入守羽林，有叛臣中兵也。”

The Shengqia Fu says: If the planet Mars enters the Yu Lin and stays there for more than twenty days, the minister will want to kill the king, and the blame will fall on a person of high rank. The predicted time is ninety days. (The original book's note cites the Jingzhou Divination: In the second year of Han, Mars entered Yu Lin, its bright edge spread out in three directions and stayed for thirty days, indicating there would be rebellious troops within the country, and the Qin dynasty perished because of this.) The Hai Zhong Zhuan says: If Mars enters and stays in Yu Lin, there will be military affairs arising immediately; if it moves retrograde, changes color, or twists into the shape of 'gou si', there will be great warfare throughout the country, with roads and bridges blocked, and urgent matters will not be resolved within the same year. Xi Meng says: If Mars enters and stays in Yu Lin, there will be a traitorous minister controlling the imperial guards.

《元命苞》曰：“熒惑守羽林，若壘城，謀在司馬將軍為亂。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天軍，凶。”又占曰：“熒惑入天軍，兵敗不可用，國更殘也。”郗萌曰：“熒惑犯守天陣，為兵起，有破軍死將。”甘氏曰：“熒惑入壘壁陣，在司馬，內將軍為亂，宮中兵起。”郗萌曰：“熒惑入壘城，有兵起。”

The Spring and Autumn Original Mandate苞 says: When the planet Mars stays in the Yulin or in the city of Labei, it indicates that plots will emerge from the Minister of War and the general, who will rebel. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Mars enters the heavenly army, it signifies calamity. Another divination says: When Mars enters the heavenly army, it indicates the army will suffer defeat, become useless, and the country will become more ruined. Xi Meng says: When Mars confronts and stays in the heavenly formation, it indicates the outbreak of military affairs, with the destruction of armies and the death of generals. Gan De says: When Mars enters the Labei formation (the twelve stars of Labei are located north of Yulin, symbolizing military camps and fortifications), it indicates rebellion by the Minister of War and generals within the palace, with military disturbances occurring within the palace. Xi Meng says: When Mars enters the Labei city, it indicates the outbreak of military affairs.

石氏曰：“熒惑守北落師門，為兵大起；舍軍門，兵起。”《玄冥占》曰：“熒惑入守北落師門、兵大起，將軍出境，士卒大行。”石氏曰：“熒惑與北落師門相貫，牴觸光芒相及，有兵大戰；破軍殺將，伏尸流血，不可當也；期百八十日，若一年。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) staying at Beilu Shimen (a single star located to the south of Yu Lin, representing the northern gate of the military camp, serving as the outer gate of the capital city) indicates great military action; when it resides at the military gate star, it also signifies the outbreak of war. The Xuanming Zhuan said: When the planet Mars enters and stays at Beilu Shimen, it indicates great military action, generals going out to fight, and a large number of soldiers mobilizing. Shi Shen said: When the planet Mars and Beilu Shimen intersect with each other, clashing and shining together, it indicates a great battle; the army will be defeated, generals will be killed, with corpses scattered everywhere and blood flowing like a river, the situation being unstoppable; the duration is expected to be one hundred and eighty days or one year.

The Sea of Divination says: When Mars is stationed at the Earth Official star, which is located south of the Legs mansion, it indicates that a country will have military conflict due to disputes over land, or there will be large-scale construction projects, and the whole country will suffer from a severe drought.

At this time, the dominant side will overcome the opposing side, and the opposing side's plans will not succeed, and the event will occur within twenty days. Shi Shen says: When Mars enters and exits the Heavenly Granary, it indicates that grain from all over the world will gather in one state. Xi Meng says: When Mars approaches the Heavenly Granary, it indicates a great drought across the land, with grain being transported from place to place, and the event will occur within the same year; another view suggests it will occur within three years; another view suggests that many granaries will be ruined, leading to famine across the land.

Shi Shen says: When Mars confronts and stays in the celestial street, as well as wanders and moves around there, it indicates that the ruler is weak and the ministers are arrogant, roads are blocked, and the whole country cannot be passed through.

郗萌曰：“熒惑舍狗星三十日，旱。又曰狗群嗅，天下人盡驚。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars stays in the Dog Star for thirty days (the two Dog Stars are in front of the handle of the Dipper, governing defense and barking at thieves), indicating drought in heaven. He also said that dogs on earth will run around sniffing in groups, causing fear among all people.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守狗國，外夷為變。”

The Jingzhou Divination states: When the planet Mars is stationed in the Dog Country (the Dog Country consists of four stars located to the southeast of the Jian Star, symbolizing the northeastern barbarian tribes such as the Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Wozu), it indicates disturbances among the outer tribes and夷人.

《晉陽秋》曰：“孝武太元年九月癸亥，熒惑犯哭星，二年八月，徵西大將軍桓豁薨，十月尚書令王彪之薨。”

The "Jinyang Spring and Autumn" states: In the first year of Taoyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of Eastern Jin, in the ninth month, on the Guihai day, the planet Mars approached and clashed with the crying star (the two crying stars are located to the south of the Emptiness mansion, and are accompanied by the weeping star, indicating matters of mourning and crying); in the eighth month of the second year of Taoyuan, General of the Western Expedition Huaban died, and in the tenth month, the Minister of the Secretariat Wang Biaozhi died.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守八魁，兵大起。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the planet Mars is stationed among the Eight Kui stars (the Eight Kui and Nine Stars are located in the northwest of Beiluemen, symbolizing the setting of a snare to catch animals and thieves), it indicates that large-scale military actions will occur.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑犯鈇鑕五月以上，臣有謀者。”石氏曰：“熒惑入鈇鑕，若其星動搖，鈇鑕用。”郗萌曰：“熒惑乘守鈇鑕，為鈇鑕用，將有憂。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars (Flame) confronts the star of the guizi for more than five months (the guizi is a combination of a axe and a chopping block, symbolizing decapitation; in astrology it signifies execution), the ruler will have a minister who plots against him. Shi Shen says: If Mars enters the guizi stars and those stars flicker, it indicates that the guizi will be used. Xi Meng says: If Mars dominates and stays near the guizi, it mainly signifies the use of beheading, and generals will be in trouble.

郗萌曰：“熒入天庚中，大旱，粟貴，發用。”

Xi Meng said: The Malefic of violence enters the Heavenly Granary among the Heavenly Stems (Heavenly庾 refers to the Heavenly Granary, three stars located south of the Heavenly Granary, governing the accumulation of grain in granaries), indicating a great drought, grain becoming expensive, and the government needing to open the granary to distribute stored grain.

《黃帝占》曰：“黃惑入芻藁中，主敗寶出，亂臣在內。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars enters the cluster of stars called Chugao (which are six stars located west of Tianyuan, representing the accumulation of fodder for cattle and horses), it indicates that the sovereign will decline, the treasury's treasures will flow out, and disloyal ministers will be within the court.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守九州殊口，九州兵起。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Mars stays at the position of the six stars in the northeast of the Wolf Star, which are called "Nine States with Different Mouths," it indicates that military actions will arise in the nine states. This is because these six stars are located northeast of the Wolf Star, and they are responsible for conveying the languages of the four directions and distinguishing the dialects of the nine states.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守天節，持節臣有奸謀，若使臣死。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars stays at the celestial standard (the celestial standard consists of eight stars located beneath the Net mansion, symbolizing the credentials held by envoys), it indicates that a minister holding credentials is harboring deceitful intentions, or that an envoy will die.

石氏曰：“熒惑守九游，日食星墜，天下大亂；若入九游，兵起。”

Shi Shen said: The planet Mars remains at Jiuyou (the nine stars in the southwest of Yu Jing, which are the nine streamers on the banner of the Son of Heaven, symbolizing military standards), indicating an eclipse of the sun and falling stars, and great chaos in the world; if it enters Jiuyou, it signifies the outbreak of military conflicts.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入軍井三日以上，其歲大水。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars enters the military well and remains for more than three days (the military well consists of four stars located south of the Jade Well, representing a well for military water supply), it indicates that there will be a great flood in that year.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入水府，有謀臣；一曰逆行水府，天下大水。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守水府，天下洪水。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars enters the water palace (the four stars of the water palace are located east of the Three Stars mansion, symbolizing officials in charge of dikes and canals), it indicates there will be a minister with ulterior motives; another interpretation is that when Mars movesretrograde in the water palace, it signifies a great flood across the country. Xi Meng says: When Mars stays in the water palace, it foretells a flood across the country.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天狗，兵謀，北夷大飢，來歸。鄰國多土功；若守之，為兵謀。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars enters the Heavenly Dog (the Heavenly Dog constellation is located north of the Wolf Star, governing the protection of property and prevention of theft), it indicates military schemes, with the northern barbarians suffering from famine and coming to submit, and neighboring states engaging in many construction projects. If Mars remains in the Heavenly Dog, it also indicates military schemes.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入天廟，若守，為廟有事；一曰為凶，憂。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天廟，有廟殘之事；吏不去，則死。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the planet Mars enters the Heavenly Temple (the Heavenly Temple consists of fourteen stars located south of the Extended Net mansion, symbolizing the ancestral temple of the Son of Heaven), or stays at the Heavenly Temple, it indicates that there will be incidents in the ancestral temple; another interpretation says it signifies calamity and worry. The Jingzhou Divination says: If Mars enters the Heavenly Temple, it indicates that there will be damage and destruction to the ancestral temple; the officials in charge of the temple will die if they do not resign promptly.

郗萌曰：“熒惑入長垣，敵人入中國；出長垣，則出。”《玉曆》曰：“熒惑入長垣，若守之，匈奴入漢國。敵人四夷若皆出，期一年。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Mars enters Changyuan, which is located southwest of Shaowei, the four stars of Changyuan mark the boundary and defense of the realm, governing border areas and the entry and exit of the four barbarians, it indicates that enemies will invade the Central Plains; when Mars leaves Changyuan, the enemies will also retreat. The "Juyi" states: When Mars enters Changyuan or stays at Changyuan, it signifies the invasion of the Xiongnu into the Han territory; if all the surrounding barbarian tribes launch an attack together, the predicted time will be one year.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守土司空，有兵；又曰守入土司空，有土徭之事。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Mars stays in the position of the Minister of Earth and Timber, it indicates there will be military affairs; it also says that when Mars occupies the position of the Minister of Earth and Timber and enters it, it signifies the mobilization of the people for construction projects.

郗萌曰：“熒惑犯乘鍵閉星，大臣有謀，天子不尊事天者，致火災於宗廟，王者不宜出宮下殿，有匿兵於宗廟中者。”（《宋書》云：“晉穆帝昇平三年正月壬辰，熒惑犯鍵閉，占曰：人主憂，五年正月，穆帝崩。”）

Xi Meng said: The planet Mars (Feng Huo) conflicts with and overshadows the Key and Lock Star (a single star located in the northeast of the Room Mansion; "Key" refers to the door latch, "Lock" refers to the key, symbolizing the control of doors and locks), indicating that ministers have secret plots in their hearts. If the emperor does not respectfully serve heaven, he will invite fire in the ancestral temple. At this time, the ruler should not leave the palace gate or descend from the palace steps, because there are soldiers hidden in the ancestral temple. (The original book's note cites the "Song History" which says: In the third year of Shengping of Emperor Mu of Eastern Jin, the first month of the壬辰 (Renchen) day, Mars conflicted with the Key and Lock Star; the divination text indicated that the sovereign would have worries; in the first month of the fifth year of Shengping, Emperor Mu died.)

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑守天柱，兵鼓起。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: When the planet Mars stays at Tianzhu (Tianzhu is one of the five stars in the Purple Micro Palace, located north of the lower platform, governing the establishment of commands and the display of laws and regulations), it indicates the sound of war drums and the outbreak of military affairs.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天淵，大旱，出焦枯；若守之，海水出，江河決溢，若海魚出。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: If the planet Mars enters Tianyuan (Tianyuan consists of ten stars, also called Tianquan and Tianhai, located southeast of the star Bie, governing irrigation ditches and canals), it indicates a great drought with dry and withered grass and trees; if Mars stays at Tianyuan, it signifies rising sea levels overflowing, rivers breaking their banks and causing floods, or fish from the sea leaping out of the water.

《黃帝占》曰：“熒惑入鈇鑕，為大臣誅。”《推度覽》曰：“大臣戮亡，熒惑環鈇鑕。”《荊州占》曰：“火犯鈇鑕，兵起。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Malefic of violence enters the position of the axe and the halberd, it indicates that a high official will be executed. The Push and Measure Gazetteer says: The death of an official is caused by the Malefic of violence circling around the position of the axe and the halberd in a ring. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Malefic of violence confronts the position of the axe and the halberd, it signifies the outbreak of military conflicts.

《荊州占》曰：“熒惑入天廄十日以上，廄馬有食變。”石氏曰：“熒惑出入天廄，天下廄有憂，長吏敗；若干天廄，兵起。”《黃帝占》曰：“守天廄，為廄災之事；人主以馬為憂，不即馬疾。”郗萌曰：“熒惑守天廄災三十日，騎馬出。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the planet Mars stays in the celestial stable for more than ten days, it indicates that there will be disturbances in the fodder and feed of the stables. Shi Shen says: If Mars enters or leaves the celestial stable, it signifies that there will be troubles in the stables across the land, and the officials in charge will fail in their duties; if Mars collides with the celestial stable, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: If Mars remains in the celestial stable, it foretells that the stables will suffer disasters such as fires; the sovereign will worry about horses, or horses will fall ill. Xi Meng says: If the disaster caused by Mars staying in the celestial stable lasts for thirty days, it indicates that cavalry and horses will be mobilized.

石氏曰：“填星，其神雷公，決星名曰卿魄。”《荊州占》曰：“填星，常晨出東方，夕伏西方；其行，歲填一宿，故名填星。”石氏曰：“填星，主季夏、主中央、主土；於日主戊巳，是謂黃帝之子，主德。女主之象，定受而不受者為失，填，其下之國可伐也，德者不可伐也；其一名地侯。”（案《服食經》曰：雄黃，填星之精也。）

Shi Shen said: The planet Tian Xing (which is also called the planet of Earth, or Zhen Xing) is associated with the deity Leigong. During divination, it is also called "Qing Po". The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Tian Xing usually rises in the east in the early morning and sets in the west in the evening. Its movement follows a pattern of occupying one zodiac mansion each year, hence it is called "Tian Xing". Shi Shen said: Tian Xing governs the season of the late summer, the central direction, and the element of earth. In terms of the day branch, it governs the days of Wu and Ji, and is called the son of the Yellow Emperor, governing virtue. It is also a symbol of the female ruler. If a person is destined to receive it but refuses, it is called "shi". When Tian Xing is present, the country directly opposite it can be attacked, but if that country has virtue, it should not be attacked. Tian Xing is also called "Di Hou". (A note from the original text citing the "Fushiyijing" says: Xiong Huang is formed from the essence of Tian Xing.)

《淮南子》曰：“中央土也，其帝黃帝，其佐后土，執繩而制四方，繩直也；其神為填星，其獸黃龍，其音宮，其日戊巳。”《春秋緯》曰：“填星主德；德失，則宮室高，臺榭繁；故填星縮、火燒門；動，則水決江河破、凶。”《文曜鉤》曰：“填星主德以正常，德失則罰出填星，二十四徽，以效存亡。”《合誠圖》曰：“填星，主正紀綱。”甘氏曰：“填星；主太常，主周梁，（《海中占》曰：周梁、中國也。）邦有德，填星當也。”

The Huainanzi says: The center belongs to earth, and the heavenly emperor in charge is the Yellow Emperor, with the deity Hou Tu as his assistant. They hold a measuring rope to govern the four directions — the term 'rope' refers to uprightness. The corresponding star deity is Tian Xing, the corresponding divine beast is the Yellow Dragon, the corresponding musical note is the Palace tone, and the corresponding day branches are Wu and Ji days. The Spring Chronicles says: Tian Xing governs virtue; once virtue is lost, palaces will be built too high and pavilions and terraces will be constructed excessively; thus, when Tian Xing retreats, it should be interpreted as a fire burning the palace gate; when Tian Xing is unstable, it should be interpreted as floods breaking through dikes and rivers overflowing their banks, indicating misfortune. The Wen Yao Gou says: Tian Xing governs virtue to maintain the correct path; once virtue is lost, punishment will emanate from Tian Xing, and twenty-four signs will be used to verify the rise and fall of the state. The He Cheng Tu says: Tian Xing governs the rectification of the court's regulations. Gan De says: Tian Xing governs the office of Tai Chang, and the region of Zhou and Liang (as noted in the original text's marginal commentary, Zhou and Liang refer to the Central Plains area). If a state has virtue, Tian Xing will appear above it.

巫咸曰：“填星之德厚，安危存亡之機。填星所宿者，其國安，大人有喜，增土。”《五行傳》曰：“填星於五常為信，言行不二；於五事為思，心寬容受諫；若五常、五事皆失，填星為變動、為土功、為女主、為山崩、為地動。”吳龔《天官星占》曰：“填星所居國有德，不可以兵加也。”班固《天文志》曰：“填星者，信也，思也；仁義禮智以信為主，貌言視聽以心為正；故四星皆失，填星乃為之動。”郗萌曰：“填星，主祭祀鬼神宮及太常。”《荊州占》曰：“填星，土之精，主四季。填星，主司天下女主之過；女主邪，填星邪；女主正，填星正。”石氏曰：“填星正，女主正紀綱。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Tian Xing has a deep virtue, and it relates to the safety and danger of a state. Where Tian Xing resides, that state will be peaceful, the noble people will have good fortune, and the territory will expand. The "Five Phases Transmission" says: Tian Xing belongs to "Xin" among the five constants, which refers to being consistent in words and deeds; it belongs to "Si" among the five affairs, which refers to a broad mind and being open to advice. If the five constants and five affairs are neglected, Tian Xing will change, and this change will be reflected in earth and wood construction, female rulers taking power, mountain collapses, and earthquakes. Wu Gong's "Celestial Officials Star Divination" says: Where Tian Xing resides, that state has virtue, and it is not appropriate to use military force against it. Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records" says: Tian Xing symbolizes "Xin" and "Si"; among the four virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom, "Xin" is the foundation; among the four affairs of appearance, speech, hearing, and thought, "Si" is the standard; therefore, Tian Xing will only move when the four stars, namely the Year Star, the Red Star, the White Star, and the Blue Star, have lost their normal positions. Xi Meng said: Tian Xing oversees the temples for worshiping ghosts and spirits and the office of the Grand Music. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Tian Xing is the essence of earth, and it oversees the last months of the four seasons. Tian Xing is responsible for inspecting the faults of female rulers; if a female ruler is corrupt, Tian Xing will move erratically; if a female ruler is upright, Tian Xing will move in a straight path. Shi Shen said: When Tian Xing moves in a straight path, it indicates that the female ruler has established order within the palace.

《五行傳》曰：“填星以上元甲子歲，十一月朔旦冬至夜半甲子時，與日月五星俱起於牛前五度，順行二十八宿，右旋，歲一宿，二十八宿而周天。”（案《曆法》：填星一年平行十二度十一萬六千四百三十二分度之四萬六千二百七十一，二十九而百六十八日千九百七十六分日之十一百三十七而周天，是三百八十三年而十三周天。）

The "Transmission of the Five Phases" states: The planet of filling (Fill Star) was in the first year of Jiazi, on the first day of the eleventh lunar month, at dawn exactly coinciding with the winter solstice, and at midnight it was also at the Jiazi hour. It started five degrees before the Ox mansion, and then proceeded in order through the twenty-eight mansions, rotating to the right. It occupied one mansion each year, and after going through all twenty-eight mansions, it completed a full circle around the sky. (The original commentary notes according to the calendar calculation: The Fill Star moves an average of twelve degrees and 116,432 parts of a degree in a year, and after twenty-nine years, 168 days, and 1,976 parts of a day, it completes a full circle around the sky. According to this calculation, it would complete thirteen circles around the sky in three hundred and eighty-three years. These numbers in the original text have errors and omissions, and are therefore recorded as they are.)

《淮南子》曰：“填星以甲寅元始建斗，（甲寅元始，歷起之年也；建斗，填星起於斗也。）日行二十八分度之一，歲行十二度百一十二分度之五，二十八歲而周天。”《春秋緯》曰：“填星出，百二十日，反逆；西行百二十日，東行；見三百三十日而入，入三十日復出東方，運之常也；守度持節為紀綱，順之吉，逆之凶。”《荊州占》曰：“填星出東方三百三十日，而夕伏西方三十日，而復晨見東方。”

The Huainanzi says: The planet Tianxing begins its course from the Jiayin year, starting at the Dipper mansion (note: "Jiayin year" is the starting year of the calendar; "establishing the Dipper" means Tianxing begins its movement from the Southern Dipper). It moves one twenty-eighth of a degree each day, twelve degrees and five twenty-eighths of a degree each year, and completes a full circuit around the sky in twenty-eight years. The Chūnqiū Wěi says: After Tianxing appears, it moves forward for one hundred and twenty days, then reverses its course; it moves westward for one hundred and twenty days, then turns eastward again; after a total of three hundred and thirty days it disappears, and remains hidden for thirty days before reappearing in the east in the morning. This is its regular pattern. Tianxing maintains its position and follows its fixed rhythm, which is the order of the world; following it brings good fortune, while opposing it brings misfortune. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: Tianxing appears in the east for three hundred and thirty days, then disappears in the west in the evening for thirty days, and subsequently reappears in the east in the morning.

《尚書緯》曰：“氣在於季夏，其紀填星，是謂大靜；無立兵，立兵命曰犯命；奪人一畝，償以千里；殺人不當，償以長子；不可起土功，是謂犯天之常，滅德之光。可以居正殿安處，舉有道之人，與之慮國；人以順式時利，以布大德，修禮義；不可以行武事，可以赦罪；人與德相應，其禮衣黃，是謂順陰陽，奉天之常也。如是則填星得度，其地無災。”

The Shangshu Wei says: When the solar terms reach the season of the last summer month, the ruling star is the planet of filling, which is called "Great Stillness." At this time, it is not appropriate to wage war; to do so would be to violate the mandate of heaven. To take an acre of land from another person will require repaying with a thousand miles in the future; to wrongly kill one person will require repaying with one's eldest son in the future. It is also not appropriate to undertake construction projects, for that would be to offend the heavenly way and to extinguish the radiance of virtue. At this time, it is suitable to reside in the main hall, to appoint virtuous people, and to consult with them on state affairs; to follow the appropriate season, to widely spread great virtue, and to regulate propriety and righteousness; it is not appropriate to use military force, but one may pardon criminals. When human affairs and virtue are in harmony, the ceremonial robe should be yellow, which is called following yin and yang and following the heavenly way. If this is done, the planet of filling will be in its proper place, and there will be no calamity in that land.

《動聲儀》曰：“宮音和調，填星如度不逆，則鳳凰至。”巫咸曰：“填星受制，則養老、存鰥寡、行饘粥，施思澤，事賓客。”郗萌曰：“填星用事，務招錄賢聖，擇廉平，勸民耕農，實倉庫，治城郭，通溝渠，奉天祠，修治社稷，數問牢獄，察勉失職，務安百姓；如是，則填星不盈縮，不逆行變色。”《荊州占》曰：“填星順行而明，其國有厚德。填星行中道，陰陽和調。”皇甫謐《年曆》曰：“甘石、太初曆所民記星出不同者，以星盈縮在前，各錄後所見也；填星之精，凡六十三變。”

The "Dongshengyi" says: When the palace tone is harmonious and smooth, the planet Tianming follows its regular course without retrograding, and the phoenix will come. Wu Xian says: When the planet Tianming is in the season it is supposed to be in, it should honor the elderly, care for the widowers and orphans, distribute thick and thin porridge, widely extend kindness, and treat guests with propriety. Xi Meng says: When the planet Tianming is in its ruling season, one must certainly recruit and employ virtuous and wise men, select clean and fair officials, encourage the people to till the soil and raise silkworms, fill the granaries, repair the city walls, clear the ditches, respectfully worship the heavenly temples, renovate the ancestral shrines and temples, frequently inquire about the prisoners, examine and encourage those who have failed in their duties, and make every effort to stabilize the people. If this can be done, the planet Tianming will not speed up or slow down, nor will it retrograde or change color. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When the planet Tianming moves forward smoothly and is bright, it indicates that the state has profound virtue; when the planet Tianming moves along the middle path, it indicates that yin and yang are in harmony. Huanfu Mi's "Nianli" says: Gan De and Shi Shen's records of the rising and setting times of the stars differ from those in the "Taichu Li," because the stars themselves have inherent expansion and contraction, speed and slowness, and each school merely recorded what they observed later; the changes in the essence and qi of the planet Tianming total sixty-three kinds.

《荊州占》曰：“填星之相也，從立夏至仲夏時，其色大如精明，無芒角。填星，土也，位在中央，王於四季，其星從孟夏至仲夏時，色當赤而微小；及季夏王時，其色比北極中央大星，赤黃而光明，有芒角。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Filling Star is in the "Phase" stage, it is from the beginning of summer to the middle of summer. At this time, its color is clear and divine, and its form is larger. It does not display sharp rays. "Phase, Sovereignty, Rest, Captivity, Death" are five stages used by the Five Phases school to judge the waxing and waning of the five planets throughout the four seasons. The Filling Star belongs to Earth, is located in the central direction, and is in the "Sovereignty" stage during the last month of each season. From the beginning of summer to the middle of summer, its color should be red and its form slightly smaller. When it reaches the "Sovereignty" stage in the last month of summer, its color should be similar to the central bright star of the North Pole, appearing red-yellow and bright, and it should display sharp rays.

填星之囚也，從立冬至仲冬比奎大星，黃白而光明有芒。填星其囚也，從立冬至仲冬，其色青而細小。赤黑，止而不行；（甘氏云：如小不明也。）至季冬王時，色當比左角青黃而光明有芒。填星之死也，從立春至仲春，其色白而細小不明，至季春時，色當比參左肩；而黃白光明有芒。”

When the planet Filling Star is in the stage of rest, it corresponds to the Big Star of the Mansion of Legs from the beginning of autumn to the middle of autumn. When the planet Filling Star is in the stage of imprisonment, from the beginning of winter to the middle of winter, its color turns green and its form is small and dim, or it appears red-black and remains stationary. By the end of winter, when it is in the stage of kingship, its color should correspond to the Left Star of the Horn Mansion, appearing green-yellow and bright with a芒. When the planet Filling Star is in the stage of death, from the beginning of spring to the middle of spring, its color turns white and its form is small and dim. By the end of spring, its color should correspond to the Left Shoulder Star of the Three Stars Mansion, appearing yellow-white and bright with a芒.

甘氏曰：“當其相也，而有王色；主弱、女主用事；有休色，有土功；有囚色、女主不昌；有死色，貴人多喪。

Gan De said: When the planet of Tian Xing appears in the color of "Wang" during the phase of "Xiang," it indicates that the ruler is weak and a woman will be in power. If it appears in the color of "Xiu," it signifies the rise of earth and wood construction projects. If it appears in the color of "Qiu," it indicates that the female ruler will not flourish. If it appears in the color of "Si," it suggests that many high-ranking individuals will suffer misfortune.

所留守舍，其國有女徵，其進舍也及退舍，皆為土功憂事。當其王也，而有相色，則女主宗強；有休色，政在公卿；有囚色，女主不昌；有死色、女主族不祥。其所留之舍，有德厚，其進舍也，其國得土，其退舍也，則失土。當其休也，而有王色，臣下縱橫；有相色、女主請謁行，有囚色，女主宗族有誅傷；死色重，有女喪。所留之舍，其國民流亡；其進舍也及退舍，其國受殃。當其囚也，而有王色，有政令，四時不和，多風雨災，五穀不成，盜賊起，野多囚人；有相色，臣下為謀，謀及司空；有休色，女主與妾訟；有死色，國有土功。所留之舍，其國是當，其進舍也，絕嗣復興；其退舍也，有哭音。

Tian Xing is the planet Saturn, also called Zhen Xing. It takes twenty-eight years to orbit the sky, governing moral education, earth works, and the energies of the central region and the season of late summer. When Tian Xing stays in a particular mansion, the corresponding country will show omens related to women. If Tian Xing moves forward or backward by one mansion, it indicates troubles with earth and wood construction. When Tian Xing's energy is at its peak, corresponding to the state of "Wang," but its color shows "Xiang," the maternal clan of the queen's household becomes powerful. If its color shows "Xiu," the power shifts to the ministers. If it shows "Qiu," the queen's household cannot flourish. If it shows "Si," there will be ominous events in the queen's family lineage. When Tian Xing stays in a mansion, the country is blessed with virtue. When it moves forward by one mansion, the country gains territory. When it moves backward by one mansion, the country loses territory. When Tian Xing's energy is at "Xiu," but its color shows "Wang," the ministers become arrogant and act independently. If it shows "Xiang," the queen's requests and petitions are easily granted. If it shows "Qiu," members of the queen's family are executed. If it shows "Si" strongly, there will be mourning for women. When Tian Xing stays in a mansion, the country's people scatter and flee. When it moves forward or backward by one mansion, the country suffers calamity. When Tian Xing's energy is at "Qiu," but its color shows "Wang," there will be frequent decrees, disrupted seasons, frequent storms and floods, poor harvests, banditry, and many prisoners in the fields. If it shows "Xiang," the ministers conspire secretly, and the plot involves the Minister of Works and Construction. If it shows "Xiu," the queen and her concubines quarrel. If it shows "Si," the country engages in earth and wood construction. When Tian Xing stays in a mansion, the country is directly affected. When it moves forward by one mansion, the country's extinct lineage is revived. When it moves backward by one mansion, there will be weeping.

當其死也，而有王色，下勝上，枯木復生，臣專政；有相色、地洩，其藏從地中；出有休色，五穀暴貴，人臣散亡；有囚色、必有霜雹；所留之舍，尤凶；其進舍也、地動，若有蛇怪；其守舍也，有移徙澤。”

When the star of filling (Tian Xing) is at the time of "death" but its color appears as "sovereign" (Wang), the lower ranks will overpower the upper ranks, dead trees will revive, and ministers will seize control of state affairs. If it shows the color of "minister" (Xiang), the earth's energy will escape outward, and buried objects will emerge from the ground. If it shows the color of "rest" (Xiu), grain prices will soar and officials will scatter and flee. If it shows the color of "captivity" (Qiu), there will certainly be frost or hail disasters. Wherever this star resides, the ominous signs are especially severe. If it moves to the next mansion, there will be an earthquake or strange serpents appearing. If it remains in its original mansion without moving, there will be changes to water sources and alterations to ponds and reservoirs.

甘氏曰：“候填星，以季夏戊己；此王氣，色當如其常；色變，則失所也。”郗萌曰：“填星色有常，黃比參右肩。”《荊州占》曰：“填星常色，如北極明星；赤比角星；黑比奎明星。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星色白多為獄；一曰有素服，天下不安。填星色黃而光輝，輝大，更宮室，有土功事。填星色黃，大無光，女主得意；一曰女主年中有忿爭。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“君乘土而王，其政太平，則填星黃而暉多。”《詩緯》曰：“填星華，此奢侈不節，王政之失。”

The Gan school said: Observing the star of filling, one should do so during the last month of summer (June) and on days when the heavenly stem is Wu or Ji, as these are the times when the earth's energy is most vigorous, known as the "dominant energy" of earth. At this time, the star's color should remain its usual yellow. If the color changes, it indicates that the star has lost its normal state. Xi Meng said: The filling star has a fixed color; this yellow color can be compared to the star at the right shoulder of the Three Stars mansion (the star above the right side of the Three Stars mansion). The "Jingzhou Divination" said: The normal color of the filling star is bright, comparable to the bright star of the North Pole. If it turns red, compare it to the star of the Horn mansion; if it turns black, compare it to the bright star of the Legs mansion. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" said: If the filling star is white with a strong white aura, it indicates legal punishments; another interpretation suggests that someone will wear plain clothes for mourning, and the world will be in turmoil. If the filling star is yellow and radiant, with great brilliance, it indicates the rebuilding of palaces and construction projects. If the filling star is yellow but lacks luster despite its large size, the queen in the palace will be content; another interpretation suggests that there will be disputes among the palace women during the year. The "Rites of the Celestial Pole" said: When the ruler inherits the earth's virtue and reigns, the political situation is peaceful, and the filling star will appear yellow with bright radiance. The "Poetry Weave" said: If the filling star shines excessively, it indicates extravagance and lack of restraint, which is a sign of improper royal governance.

《海中占》曰：“填星光明，歲熟；其所守國安，大人有喜，增地。”郗萌曰：“填星赤華也，期九十日，兵起。填星春色蒼，歲善，大熟。填星色青黃，其國有憂。填星赤色，光而澤也，不出其年，兵起。填星色赤，飢期三年；色青黃，有憂；色青白、期不出五月，兵若獄大起，青多為兵，白多為獄，青白等兵獄並起；色青黑，六十六日有喪，皆所在之宿名其國。”《天官書》曰：“填星色青圓，憂病；一曰憂水；青角有兵憂。填星色白圓，有喪；若星赤圓，有兵；黃圓，則吉。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the planet Filling Star is bright, smooth, and radiant, the harvest will be abundant; the country it governs will be stable, great people will have joyous events, and the territory will expand. Xi Meng says: When the Filling Star turns red and shines brightly, there will be warfare within ninety days. When the Filling Star appears bluish-green in spring, the harvest will be good and there will be a great abundance. When the Filling Star is bluish-yellow, the country will face troubles. When the Filling Star is red and bright, there will be warfare within the year. When the Filling Star is red, it indicates famine, lasting three years; when it is bluish-yellow, there will be troubles; when it is bluish-white, there will be great warfare or imprisonment within five months. Bluish color mainly indicates warfare, white color mainly indicates imprisonment, and when both are present, warfare and imprisonment will occur together. When the Filling Star is bluish-black, there will be mourning within sixty-six days—these all refer to the country corresponding to the star mansion where the Filling Star is located. The Book of Celestial Officials says: When the Filling Star is bluish and round, there will be sorrow due to illness; another view says it is sorrow due to water disasters; when it is bluish with sharp edges, there will be worries about warfare. When the Filling Star is white and round, there will be mourning; when it is red and round, there will be warfare; when it is yellow and round, it is auspicious.

《荊州占》曰：“填星居之分久而光明，人主吉昌。填星色，春青、夏赤、秋白、冬黑，色順四時，其國強，女主昌。填星色黑圓，多疾若水；黑而小，國有死王；赤為兵；白為喪；黃則吉。填星色黑黃圓，女主吉，有喜；赤圓，女主凶。填星色以黃潤澤，即國有慶。”《海中占》曰：“填星色白、芒澤，有子孫喜，立王。”郗萌曰：“填星赤，有芒，其野謀兵。”《荊州占》曰：“填星芒，邪乳失色，女主心不正。填星色赤芒，有兵若火。填星三黃芒，發主盛，其國強；三黑芒，其國亡。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Filling Star remains for a long time in a certain region and appears bright and moist, the sovereign will have good fortune and prosperity. The color of the Filling Star, in spring is green, in summer red, in autumn white, and in winter black. When the color of the star conforms to the seasonal changes, the country will be strong and the queen's court will flourish. If the Filling Star is black and round, there will be many diseases or floods; if it is black and thin, the king in the country will die. A red color indicates military affairs; a white color indicates mourning; a yellow color is auspicious. If the Filling Star is black and yellow with a round shape, the queen's court will be favorable and there will be joy; if it is red and round, the queen's court will face misfortune. If the Filling Star is yellow and moist, there will be joyful events in the country. The *Haizhong Divination* says: When the Filling Star is white with a bright and moist glow, it indicates joy for the descendants and the appointment of a royal heir. Xi Meng says: When the Filling Star is red with spiky rays, there will be plots for military action in that region. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the Filling Star has crooked rays and its color is dim, the queen's court will have improper intentions. If the Filling Star appears red with sharp rays, there will be military conflicts or fires. If the Filling Star emits three yellow rays, the sovereign's power will be strong and the country will be powerful; if it emits three black rays, the country will be on the verge of collapse.

《天官書》曰：“填星兩黑角，水；青角，憂有兵；白角，哭泣之聲，赤角，犯我城；黃角，地之爭。”《荊州占》曰：“填星七角，又有芒，女主專政，妄誅。填星出其角，為旱。填星在四方宿，當如其方色，吉；失色而角，表為憂；赤為旱；白為兵；黑有死喪。填星失色，五角、即有戰；若色黃而有九芒，有大水，不乃天裂地動。填星黑角，則水；赤角、有兵，若旱；黃角，有土功事。”

The Tian Gao Shu says: When the planet Tianming appears with two blackpointed rays, there will be floods; if it appears with a bluepointed rays, there will be worries about military affairs; if it appears with a whitepointed rays, there will be mourning; if it appears with a redpointed rays, enemies will invade our cities; if it appears with a yellowpointed rays, there will be disputes over land. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When the planet Tianming appears with sevenpointed rays and shines brightly, the queen consort will dominate the court, and carry out excessive punishments. When Tianming emitspointed rays, it indicates drought. When Tianming moves through the four cardinal directions, its color should match the color of the direction (east blue, south red, west white, north black), which is auspicious; if it loses its proper color and producespointed rays, it indicates disaster; red indicates drought; white indicates war; black indicates death and mourning. If Tianming loses its color and produces fivepointed rays, there will be warfare; if it is yellow and produces nine芒光, there will be great floods, or else there will be a split in the sky or an earthquake. When Tianming appears with blackpointed rays, it indicates water; with redpointed rays, there will be military affairs or drought; with yellowpointed rays, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood.

甘氏曰：“填星失次，而上二舍三舍，是謂大盈；有王命不成，不乃大水。失次而下二舍，是謂縮；女后有威，其歲不復，不乃天裂，若地動。”甘氏曰：“填星緩，則不逮；急，當過舍；逆則占。”班固《天文志》曰：“填星盈，為主不寧；縮有軍不復。”《荊州占》曰：“填星退舍為縮，所次之國凶。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星見東方，一歲行二舍，吏民相將縮，所次之國凶。”

The Gan school said: When the planet Jupiter moves ahead by two or three star positions beyond its proper place, this is called "Da Ying" (great excess); it indicates that the monarch's decrees will not be implemented, or there will be a great flood. When Jupiter lags behind by two star positions, this is called "Suo" (retreat); it indicates that the queen's authority will be excessive, and the situation of that year will be difficult to recover, or there will be a sky split or an earthquake. The Gan school also said: If Jupiter moves slowly, it will not reach its proper position; if it moves quickly, it will overstep its proper star position; if it retrogrades, then the meaning should be interpreted accordingly. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Astronomy" said: When Jupiter moves ahead, it indicates that the monarch will not be at peace; when it lags behind, it indicates that the military will be deployed outside and will not return. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Jupiter retreats to the previous star position, it is called "Suo"; the region corresponding to the star position where it stops will suffer misfortune. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" said: When Jupiter appears in the east and passes over two star positions within a year, officials and common people will all retreat and hesitate, and the region corresponding to the star position where it stops will suffer misfortune.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星見東方，一歲行二舍，吏民相將至退地，諸侯有失邑者。填星西行一舍以上，吏棄法令，民棄其君，子去其父離其鄉里，渡於河海，動地而起矣。填星逆行，天下更王。”《洛書》曰：“填星盈縮，下士逆謀，兵乃生。填星盈縮，地動搖宮；有此類，則亡引也。填星盈縮，九州騷動，四方相賊。”《漢含孳》曰：“陽弱臣逆，則填星盈縮，（陽者，君也）王者禮、義、德、殺、刑盡失，填星乃動而盈；王者以貪擾不寧，大水出。”《文耀鉤》曰：“填星南西行，為畋獵恣；南西者，南多西少也。”《論語識》曰：“填星盈動。國門闔。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Tian Star appears in the east and passes over two constellations within a year, officials and common people will collectively flee to other places, and some feudal lords will lose their territories. When the Tian Star moves westward over one constellation or more, officials will abandon the law, common people will forsake their rulers, sons will leave their fathers and their hometowns, and cross rivers and seas, causing chaos and disturbances throughout the land. When the Tian Star moves retrograde, the country will need to change its ruler. The Luo Writing says: When the Tian Star moves ahead or lags behind, lower-ranking officials will plot rebellion, and military calamities will arise. When the Tian Star's movement is out of balance, earthquakes will shake palaces and houses; such signs indicate the end of the dynasty's continuity. When the Tian Star's movement is out of balance, the nine provinces will tremble and be unsettled, and the four directions will fight against each other. The Han Hanzi says: When the yang path weakens and ministers rebel, the Tian Star will move out of balance. When the ruler is inappropriate in rites, morality, virtue, punishment, and law, the Tian Star will move ahead and become restless. When the ruler's greed causes turmoil throughout the land, there will be great floods. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the Tian Star moves toward the southwest, the ruler will indulge in hunting. The term 'southwest' refers to a greater southern component and a lesser western component. The Lun Yu Shi says: When the Tian Star moves ahead and becomes restless, the capital's city gates will be closed.

石氏曰：“填星失次，進則亡地；退則有喪。填星所居久者，其國有德厚，不可以軍；如所居易者（徐廣曰：易猶輕速也）國，其德薄，可侵以土地。填星所居之國吉，未當居而居之，已去而復還居之，其國得地，不乃得女；當居不居，既已居之，又東西去之，國失土，不乃失女；不可舉事用兵，不有土事，若女子之憂，其國可伐；居之久，福祿厚；居之易，福祿薄。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tian Xing (Filling Star) deviates from its normal constellation, if it moves forward beyond its place, the ruler of the country will lose territory; if it moves backward, there will be mourning or calamity. If Tian Xing stays for a long time in a particular constellation, the country corresponding to that constellation will have deep virtue and benevolence, and it is not advisable to attack it. If Tian Xing stays briefly or moves quickly in a country's constellation, that country has shallow virtue and can be invaded. When Tian Xing is in a constellation corresponding to a country, if it is supposed to stay but does not, or stays and then moves east or west, the country will lose territory or lose a woman. If it is not supposed to stay but does, or stays and then returns, the country will gain territory or gain a woman. At such times, one should not take military action, for it will either involve construction projects or troubles related to women. This country can be attacked. If Tian Xing stays for a long time, the country will have abundant blessings and favors; if it stays briefly, the country will have shallow blessings and favors.

巫咸曰：“填星，盈、失次、退地；白有喪；角為爭；大為得地；小為失地。填星之居宿國，五歲若六歲、四歲，其君強固，安其所；去者，其君憂也。填星亂行，人主且失地，使之不然；無淫亂於樂，無見諸侯客，無出遊，如是則止。”《海中占》曰：“填星去宿，天子不立后；去宿南數十尺，女主不用事，若大水；去其宿北數十尺，女主當之，若大旱；主好畋獵，走狗馳馬，出入不時，賜與不當，則填星失宿；民多病，歲多大風，黍稷無實。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Tian Xing moves ahead of its proper position, departs from its assigned mansion, and loses its place, these are signs of improper movement. If the planet appears pale in color, it indicates mourning; if it produces apointed rays, it indicates conflict; if it becomes larger, it indicates gaining territory; if it becomes smaller, it indicates losing territory. When Tian Xing stops in the mansion corresponding to a particular country's territory, and remains there for five, six, or four years, the ruler of that country will be strong and stable, enjoying his position. But once Tian Xing leaves, the ruler will face troubles. If Tian Xing moves erratically, the ruler will lose territory. To prevent this, the ruler should not indulge in music and entertainment, should not receive foreign envoys, and should not go out for pleasure, thus the calamity will be averted. The "Sea Divination" says: When Tian Xing leaves its mansion, the Son of Heaven cannot appoint a queen. If Tian Xing leaves its mansion and moves south by dozens of feet, the queen will not be in power, or there will be a great flood. If Tian Xing leaves its mansion and moves north by dozens of feet, the queen will suffer disaster, or there will be a great drought. If the ruler enjoys hunting, keeps dogs, rides horses, and goes out at inappropriate times, and gives rewards improperly, Tian Xing will lose its mansion. Thus the people will suffer many illnesses, there will be many strong winds in the year, and millet and sorghum will not bear grain.

京房曰：“人君內無仁義，外多華飾，則填星失度，東西叛逆；不救，必憂霜雪；其救也，治社稷明常，近方直，親厚重之人，災消矣。”（《荊州占》曰：不救，有雷雹、山崩、地坼之災也。）郗萌曰：“人君宰相，簡鬼神，廢禱祀，毀宗朝、社稷，即填星逆行，色變，地動。填星逆行，有白衣之會；逆行一舍，為水。填星超舍而前，東行一歲二舍，諸侯有歸國者。填星逆行二舍，有兵，六十日大赦。填星逆行三舍，有兵，六十日大赦，填星逆行三舍，為政者死。以季夏戊子日侯填星，其色變，行不如常，行失也。”《淮南子》曰：“填星一宿，當居而不居，其國亡地；未當居而居之，其國增地，歲熟。”

Jing Fang said: If the ruler lacks benevolence and righteousness within, but displays excessive ceremonial forms on the outside, the planet Tianming will move out of its proper course, wandering east and west against the usual order; if not corrected, there will certainly be worries about frost and snow. The method of correction is: to properly maintain the ancestral and state sacrifices, to clearly establish the regular laws, to approach upright and honest officials, and to cherish those who are sincere and earnest. Then the calamity will be eliminated. (Original note: The "Jingzhou Divination" says that if not corrected, there will be thunderstorms, hail, mountain collapses, and earth fissures.) Xi Meng said: If the ruler and his ministers neglect the spirits, abandon prayers and sacrifices, destroy the ancestral temples and state altars, then the planet Tianming will retrograde and change color, and there will be an earthquake. When Tianming retrogrades, there will be funerals and gatherings; if it retrogrades for one night, there will be water disasters. If Tianming moves ahead beyond its proper constellation and proceeds eastward, covering two constellations in a year, there will be some princes returning to their own countries. If Tianming retrogrades for two constellations, there will be military affairs, and a general amnesty will occur within sixty days. If Tianming retrogrades for three constellations, there will be military affairs, and a general amnesty will occur within sixty days; if Tianming retrogrades for three constellations, the person in power will die. On the Wu Zi day of the season of the sixth month, observe the movement of Tianming. If its color changes or its movement deviates from the usual course, it is considered a loss of proper conduct. The "Huainanzi" says: When Tianming is in a certain constellation, if it should stay but does not, the country corresponding to that constellation will lose land; if it should not stay but does, the country will gain land and have a good harvest.

《荊州占》曰：“人君、宰相、大臣，治宮室，為臺榭，內淫溢，夫婦無別，淫女用事，褻群神而簡宗廟；則填星逆行，變色，殃至地動；無救，則枉矢出，民疫飢。女主淫溢者，填星逆行入陰；外淫溢者，逆行入陽；逆行入陰，旱；入陽、水；逆行十五度以上，女主坐亡之。填星逆行不執，為殃、為賊。填星盈出，其色蒼白，喪。王者德重，填星居之；女主德薄，填星離宿；一曰當居不居，其國以水亡。填星應居之而去，其分饑荒，流滿四方；若居之而不安，不可興土功，不可舉大眾。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the sovereign, ministers, and high officials greatly construct palaces and build pavilions and terraces, and if there is excessive indulgence within the palace, with men and women not distinguishing between their roles, and if immoral women hold power, and if they despise the gods and neglect the ancestral temples, then the planet Tian (Filler Star) will retrograde and change color, and calamity will spread to earthquakes. If this is not corrected, there will be a "wrong arrow" (a meteor resembling an arrow) shooting out, causing the people to suffer from plague and famine. If the imperial harem is indulgent, the planet Tian will retrograde into the Yin Path (north of the Yellow Path); if the outer court is indulgent, it will retrograde into the Yang Path (south of the Yellow Path). Retrograding into the Yin Path indicates drought; into the Yang Path indicates flooding. If the retrograde movement exceeds fifteen degrees, the imperial harem will be punished and perish. When the planet Tian retrogrades and does not follow its normal course, it signifies calamity and disorder. If the planet Tian moves ahead beyond its course, and appears pale, it indicates mourning. When the sovereign has great virtue, the planet Tian remains in its proper region; when the imperial harem has shallow virtue, the planet Tian departs from its original constellation. Another view is: if the planet Tian should stay but does not, the country will perish due to flooding. If the planet Tian should stay but departs, the region will suffer from famine and homeless people will spread throughout the land; if it stays but is unstable, then construction should not be undertaken and large-scale conscription of the people should not be carried out.

填星亂行，王者無德，女主不仁，淫放外遊，出入無度；此惡之所致，人君修德以禳之，則可無咎。填星行舍，居其南、居其北；若去之疾，其分不可用兵，必受殃；若居之而去，更反守之，分增地。填星離宿一丈，之陽，女主不用事；去宿一丈，之陰，女主死。填星行順道，陰陽和；若不順道，去舍南北若一丈，女主不治；一曰王者不立后。

The movement of the planet Tian Xing is disordered because the king lacks virtue, the queen consort is unkind, indulgent, and engages in licentious activities while going out for pleasure, without restraint; this is a result of evil deeds. If the king cultivates virtue to appease it, he will avoid calamity. When Tian Xing reaches a certain star, it may deviate to the south or the north of that star. If it departs quickly, the corresponding region should not be attacked, for attacking it will bring disaster. If it departs and then returns to stay at that star, the corresponding region will expand in territory. If Tian Xing moves one zhang away from its original star toward the southern direction (yang path), the queen consort will not be in power. If it moves one zhang away toward the northern direction (yin path), the queen consort will die. If Tian Xing moves along the correct path, the balance of yin and yang is harmonious. If it deviates north or south by about one zhang from its original star, the queen consort will not be in charge; another interpretation says the king has not appointed a queen.

填星失次，上次二舍，大水出；上三舍，則天裂、地陷；逆一舍巳上，吏出，人民棄妻子，去其邑；星東行二舍，分失地；星若亂行，人主失土；無淫放，無出遊，無興宮室，則可以免。填星行失次，逆一舍至二舍，其國饑荒，人民流亡，去其鄉。填星主土，以填四方，其行於列客所干，年不入。填星出北方，宿中舉兵者不利；出東方，利用兵國強；出南方，宿下有兵者亡地；出西方，宿兵起。填星逆行入陰，內事逆；行入陽，外事逆。”

The planet Tian Xing (Fill Star) loses its proper position among the mansions, and if it advances two mansions ahead, there will be great flooding; if it advances three mansions, the sky will split open and the earth will sink. If it moves retrograde by one mansion or more, officials will flee, and the people will abandon their wives and children, leaving their cities. If the Fill Star moves eastward by two mansions, the territory of that region will be lost. If the Fill Star's movement is disorderly, the ruler will lose his territory. As long as there is no indulgence, no going out for pleasure, and no great construction of palaces, disaster can be avoided. If the Fill Star moves out of order and retrogrades by one to two mansions, the territory of that region will suffer famine and the people will flee their homeland. The Fill Star governs the earth element and is used to stabilize the four directions. If it is interfered with by other stars or guest stars, the year will have no harvest. If the Fill Star appears in the north, the region corresponding to that mansion will be disadvantageous for military action; if it appears in the east, it is favorable for military action and the country will be strong; if it appears in the south, the region corresponding to that mansion will lose its territory; if it appears in the west, there will be military conflict in the region corresponding to that mansion. If the Fill Star moves retrograde into the Yin path, internal court affairs will become chaotic; if it moves into the Yang path, external court affairs will become chaotic.

甘氏曰：“填星晝見，臣謀君，女主憂，上相死。填星經天而逆行，天下更政，地大動。”巫咸曰：“填星不經天，經天更封。”《荊州占》曰：“填星起左角，逆行至軫，是經天；其下國當者亡地，戰不勝。”

The Gan school says: The planet Jupiter is visible during the day, indicating that ministers may plot against the sovereign, the queen mother will have worries, and the chief minister will die. When Jupiter 'passes through the sky' (visible during the day and crossing the zenith, which ancient people regarded as a great omen), and moves retrograde, the country will change its government and a great earthquake will occur. Wu Xian says: Normally, Jupiter does not pass through the sky; once it does, the borders of states will change. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Jupiter starts from the left angle and moves retrograde to the Chariot mansion, this is called passing through the sky; the country corresponding to the position below it will lose its territory and will not win in battle.

《龍魚河圖》曰：“夫填星主得土之慶，其星下為虛星之神。”巫咸曰：“填星下為杜嫗，止於空城。”（黃石公《三略》曰：初張良遇神老於路，則脫履，命良取之，良跪而進之，老曰：年少可教。與良三期，而後付三略焉，良受書，老告之曰：後穀城見有黃石，乃是吾也，遂號曰黃石焉，然則黃石填星之精，黃者填之色也，石者星之質也，填為土德，漢為火行，子以王事告其母也，神老杜嫗同，故備其說。）

The Dragon and Fish River Chart says: The planet Tianxing governs the joy of acquiring land, and when this star descends to the human world, it becomes the spirit of the Xuxing. Wu Xian says: When Tianxing descends to the human world, it transforms into "Du Yu," dwelling in an empty city. (Original book note: The Duke of Yellow Stone's "Three Strategies" records that Zhang Liang once met an extraordinary old man on the road. The old man deliberately took off his shoes and dropped them by the bridge, ordering Zhang Liang to fetch them. Zhang Liang knelt down and returned the shoes, and the old man said, "You are a person who can be taught." They made an agreement to meet three times, and only then did the old man hand over the "Three Strategies" to him. After receiving the book, the old man told Zhang Liang that he would later see a yellow stone in Gucheng, and that would be me. Thus, he was called the Duke of Yellow Stone. From this, we can see that the yellow stone is the essence of Tianxing: yellow is the color of Tianxing, and stone is the texture of the star's body. Tianxing belongs to the earth element, while the Han dynasty belonged to the fire element. Fire is the son of earth, so this is the son reporting the affairs of the kingdom to his mother. The extraordinary old man and "Du Yu" are the same entity, so this explanation is also recorded here.)

《荊州占》曰：“填星失色生足，女主退，若被罪。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星大如狼星而黃，天下之兵雖會，其國不亡。填星始出大，而日愈小，所在國不利；始出小，而日愈大，所在國利。”巫咸曰：“填星大，人主將昌、地廣，民人惶惶；繫心而行，不憂其家，乃憂其王。”《易緯》曰：“土令廢，填消食於戊己以春月。”巫咸曰：“填星小，人主有憂；使之不然，無聽鼓鍾之音，民人有罪者釋之；如是，則止；不者，民多死，有土功，失地。”《荊州占》曰：“填星細微，女主失勢。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星旁有小星守填星，臣欲弒主，小星入填星中，事立決；小星去，臣利；填星往復小星，主得臣；見東方，東方有之；見西方，西方有之；見南方，南主有之；見北方，北方有之；皆以所在之宿名其國。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tianxing loses its original color and a foot-like tail appears below it, the queen consort will be dismissed or punished. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Tianxing appears as large as the star Tianlang and has a yellow color, although the armies of the country will gather, the country corresponding to its position will not be destroyed. When Tianxing first appears large and then becomes smaller day by day, the country where it is located will suffer misfortune; when it first appears small and then becomes larger day by day, the country where it is located will be beneficial. *Wuxian* says: When Tianxing becomes larger, the ruler will prosper and expand his territory, but the people will be anxious and unsettled; they will be preoccupied with state affairs and run about, not worrying about their own families, but only about their ruler. The *Yi Wei* says: When the rule of the earth element is neglected, Tianxing will be obscured and hidden on the days of Wu and Ji, and in the spring months. *Wuxian* says: When Tianxing becomes smaller, the ruler will have troubles; to prevent this, one should not listen to the sounds of bells and drums, and should pardon the criminals among the people; if this is done, the calamity will cease; otherwise, many people will die, there will be much construction, and the country will lose its land. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Tianxing is faint and weak, the queen consort will lose power. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When there is a small star accompanying Tianxing, it indicates that ministers may attempt to kill the king; when the small star enters Tianxing, the matter will be carried out immediately; when the small star leaves, it is favorable for the ministers; when Tianxing approaches the small star, it indicates that the ruler will subdue the ministers. This celestial phenomenon appearing in the east will correspond to events in the east; appearing in the west, events in the west; appearing in the south, events in the south; appearing in the north, events in the north—each case will be determined by the star mansion where Tianxing is located.

《離書》曰：“填星動溢，地侯之災；山崩裂。填星動盛，不吉，天下亂畔。”《元命包》曰：“填星動，則水決江，海破山，命曰：地侯躍天，雨絲絲；偽言咄咀，民作船；主急去，地吐泉，魚御勉。（宋均曰：一作龜、《晉陽秋》曰：孝武大元三年七月乙亥，填星搖，三年六月，大水。）《春秋緯》曰：“黃星動，海水浮，三公及左右謀。”《鉤命決》曰：“天水失信，則玄龜不見，填星大動。”石氏曰：“禮、德、義、刑、殺盡失，則填星為之動。填星動搖、離舍，使者交接道路。”《荊州占》曰：“填星動，女主有怒，若有怨。”郗萌曰：“填星變色逆行，相凌而斗，會客環守，其國無道。”《荊州占》曰：“填星與列舍斗，不出其年，分亡地、死將。”

The Li Shu says: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) moves and its light shines brightly, it is the calamity of the "Earth Master" (since the Fill Star governs the earth, it is called the Earth Master); there will be mountain collapses and earth fissures. If the Fill Star moves greatly, it is not auspicious, and there will be rebellion throughout the land. The Yuan Meng Bao says: When the Fill Star moves, there will be breaches in the rivers and the sea breaking through the mountains. Its divination phrase is: The star of the Earth Master leaps in the sky, light rain falls continuously; rumors spread ceaselessly, the people hurry to build boats; the ruler urgently departs, springs of water burst forth from the ground, even fish find it hard to rest. (Original note: Song Jun said, "fish" is sometimes written as "turtle" in the text. The Jin Yang Chou records that in the third year of Taiyuan of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty, in July of the Yihai month, the Fill Star moved; in June of the third year, there was a great flood.) The Chūnqiū Wěi says: When the yellow star (i.e., the Fill Star) moves, the sea rises and overflows, and the three ministers and the close ministers of the ruler plot secretly. The Gōu Mìng Jué says: When heaven and the water virtue lose their trust, the black turtle does not appear, and the Fill Star moves greatly. The Shi school says: When rites, virtue, righteousness, punishment, and execution are all improper, the Fill Star will thus move. When the Fill Star moves unpredictably and departs from its original constellation, messengers will travel along the roads to convey messages. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When the Fill Star moves, the queen of the inner court will be angry, or she will hold a grudge. Xi Meng says: When the Fill Star changes color and moves backward, it competes and fights with other stars, and together with a guest star, it surrounds and guards, the country will have a corrupt government. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When the Fill Star fights with the stars in its constellation, within this year, the territory of that region will be lost, and its generals will be lost.

《洛書》曰：“黃帝起，填星珥魚。”（氣如魚形，在填星旁。）《黃帝占》曰：“填星旁有雲如狗狀，有土功，期一月。”《孝經內記》曰：“填星生氣而為黃穰者，明日大溫，旦霧夕雨，見此者，不出五日，五穀賤，所見之國尤甚；不出三旬，中民多疾病，亦死。”《荊州占》曰：“填星出穰氣，長四丈。”（一曰雨土。）巫咸曰：“填星自暈，有土功，有喪。”郗萌曰：“填星出彗，所居下國，受兵亡地，不出一年。”

The Luo Writing says: When the Yellow Emperor rose to power, there was a cloud-like formation shaped like a fish appearing beside the planet Saturn. The original commentary notes that this cloud-like formation resembled a fish and appeared beside Saturn. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When there is a cloud-like formation shaped like a dog beside Saturn, it indicates there will be construction projects, lasting about a month. The Inner Record of the Filial Classic says: When Saturn emits a yellow cloud-like formation called 'Rang Qi' (a purifying qi), the next day the weather becomes very warm, there is morning mist and evening rain; when this celestial phenomenon occurs, within five days, grain prices will drop, and the country corresponding to this celestial region will show this clearly; within thirty days, many people in the country will fall ill, and some will die. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When Saturn emits a Rang Qi that extends four zhang in length. (Original commentary notes: Another interpretation is that dust falls from the sky.) Wu Xian says: When Saturn itself emits a halo, it indicates there will be construction projects and funerals. Xi Meng says: When Saturn emits a comet-like bright light, the country below it will suffer from warfare and lose territory, and this will happen within a year.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星犯左角，大戰。一曰軍死。”郗萌曰：“填星入角亢，去左角三尺若一尺，與角並出左角一寸，期丙丁日中，地動。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星逆行角中，王后有異喜。”郗萌曰：“填星逆行角，女主出入不時。”石氏曰：“填星在左角，失行至房，侯王皇帝，出入不時，王者有所誅。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星之角，天下有徙家，為二千石者。”《荊州占》曰：“填星起右角，之左角，尉理受執；填星乘右角，后族家若將相有坐法死者。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Tian Star invades the left star of the Horn mansion, there will be a great battle. Another account says that the army will be destroyed. Xi Meng says: When the Tian Star enters the area of the Horn and the Head mansions, and is three feet or one foot away from the left star of the Horn, and is aligned with the star of the Horn while revealing the left star by an inch, if this occurs on the noon of the Jia or Yi days, an earthquake will happen. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the Tian Star moves retrograde within the Horn mansion, the queen mother will have an extraordinary joy. Xi Meng says: When the Tian Star moves retrograde in the Horn mansion, the queen mother will not follow the proper time for entering or leaving the palace. The Shi school says: When the Tian Star is in the left star of the Horn mansion and moves out of its proper path to reach the Room mansion, the princes and the emperor will not follow the proper time for entering or leaving the palace, and the king will carry out executions. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When the Tian Star is in the Horn mansion, there will be people moving their households and families throughout the country, and these people will all be officials of the second rank. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the Tian Star starts from the right star of the Horn mansion and moves toward the left star, officials in charge of criminal justice will be arrested; when the Tian Star invades the right star of the Horn mansion, members of the royal family or high officials will die due to law violations.

郗萌曰：“填星乘右角，為旱；乘左角，為水，為兵。填星留西角間，軍與國廷間邊境不通。填星逆乘凌左右角，其為日食，國有大變。填星出入天門中，兵在外罷。填星宿角不明者，女主少子。”《孝經緯》曰：“帝誠孝，填角並。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星出中道，天下太平；出陽道，旱；陰道、多雨。”陳卓曰：“填星出陰道，多陰謀。”《荊州占》曰：“填星出入留舍角，六十日不下，天下多暴獄；七十日不下，天下有急令；八十日不下，一國有急事。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tianxing (Fill Star) invading the right horn mansion indicates drought; invading the left horn mansion indicates water and military affairs. If Tianxing is detained between the western side of the horn mansion, there will be blockage of roads between the military and the court, and between the border regions. If Tianxingretrograde (moves retrograde) and invades both the left and right horn mansions, there will be an eclipse of the sun, and great changes will occur in the country. If Tianxing enters and exits the gap between the left and right horn mansions (the "Heavenly Gate"), the armies outside will soon disband. If Tianxing enters the horn mansion and its light is dim, the ruler's concubine will have few offspring. The "Xiaojingwei" says: If the emperor is sincere in his filial piety, Tianxing will align with the horn mansion. The "Huangdi Zhan" says: If Tianxing moves along the central path of the Yellow Path, the world will be peaceful; if it moves along the southern side (Yang Dao), there will be drought; if it moves along the northern side (Yin Dao), there will be much rain. Chen Zhuo said: If Tianxing moves along the Yin Dao, there will be many conspiracies. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: If Tianxing appears, stays, or enters the horn mansion area, and does not leave for sixty days, there will be many wrongful lawsuits throughout the country; if it does not leave for seventy days, there will be urgent imperial edicts; if it does not leave for eighty days, there will be urgent matters in a certain state.

石氏曰：“填星守角，萬物不成。填星守左角，天門，多直人。填星守右角，天子好遊獵，國亡。填星守天門中，國弱，四夷侵。”甘氏曰：“填星守角星，后有喜。”巫咸曰：“填星守角，為水，為兵。”《海中占》曰：“填星守角，五穀多傷，人民流亡。填星守左角、右角，其色潤澤，即歲大熟；其逆行，從一宿得二宿，穀貴一倍；從二宿得三宿，三倍；其還立賤。填星左右角，其色黃，小旱，民小厲；其逆行，即旱；其退，立雨。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Filling Star guards the Horn mansion, all things cannot mature. When the Filling Star guards the left horn and the heavenly gate, there are many upright people in the world. When the Filling Star guards the right horn, the emperor indulges in hunting, and the country will perish. When the Filling Star is in the heavenly gate, the state is weak, and the four directions of barbarians invade. The Gan school says: When the Filling Star guards the stars of the Horn mansion, the empress will be joyful. Wu Xian says: When the Filling Star guards the Horn mansion, it presages water and military affairs. The Sea Divination says: When the Filling Star guards the Horn mansion, the five grains suffer much damage, and the people scatter and flee. When the Filling Star guards the left and right horns, and the star color is moist, there will be a great harvest in that year; if it retrogrades, moving from one mansion to two, the grain price rises by one fold; if it moves from two to three, the price rises by three folds; when it resumes its normal motion, the grain price drops immediately. When the Filling Star is in the left and right horns, and the star color is yellow, there will be a small drought and minor epidemics among the people; if it retrogrades, there will be drought; when it finishes retrograding, rain comes immediately.

郗萌曰：“填星守角，將有憂；一曰有土功之事。填星守左角，更政令；填星守角，為中兵大臣也。”《玉曆》曰：“填星守角，天子微弱，賢人為輔臣。”郗萌曰：“填星出角若守角，兵起西方。”甘氏曰：“填星犯守角，強臣不伏，若更政令。”郗萌曰：“填星守犯凌右角，為有禍咎。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Xing is stationed at the Horn mansion, indicating that generals will have worries; another interpretation suggests there will be matters concerning earth and wood construction. If Tian Xing is stationed at the left horn, there will be changes in government orders; if Tian Xing is stationed at the Horn mansion, it indicates military movements within the capital, and the matter will involve ministers. The Jade Calendar says: When Tian Xing is stationed at the Horn mansion, the emperor's power is weak, and a virtuous person will be appointed as a minister to assist in governance. Xi Meng said: If Tian Xing departs from or is stationed at the Horn mansion, military affairs will arise from the western direction. The Gan school said: When Tian Xing invades and is stationed at the Horn mansion, a powerful minister will not obey orders, or there will be changes in government orders. Xi Meng said: If Tian Xing is stationed at or invades the right horn, there will be calamity and misfortune.

郗萌曰：“填星犯亢，廷臣為亂，諸侯當有失國者。”石氏曰：“填星數入亢，其國疾疫。”甘氏曰：“填星逆行亢，女主治政；一曰徙倚亢前後，女主非其人，若賤人女暴貴。”郗萌曰：“填星逆行亢，女主干朝事。”《荊州占》曰：“填星倚亢前後，春夏為水，秋冬為水。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星之亢，天下有大喪。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Star invades the mansion of the Neck, and ministers of the court will rebel, and among the feudal lords there will be someone who loses his state. The Shi school said: The planet Tian Star repeatedly enters the mansion of the Neck, and the country corresponding to that mansion will suffer from an epidemic. The Gan school said: The planet Tian Star moves backward in the mansion of the Neck, and the queen consort will take control of the government; another view is that it moves back and forth before and after the mansion of the Neck, indicating that the queen consort is not a suitable person or that a woman of low birth suddenly rises to power. Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Star moves backward in the mansion of the Neck, and the queen consort interferes in court affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Tian Star is located before or after the mansion of the Neck, it indicates floods in spring and summer, and also floods in autumn and winter. The "Chunqiu Tu" says: When the planet Tian Star is near the mansion of the Neck, there will be great mourning events in the country.

郗萌曰：“填星合亢，為歲小有水。填星乘滅亢右星，為大人憂。為天下有奇令。填星出入留舍亢，其國以歲致天下，一曰有失地之君，天下憂。”齊伯曰：“填星出入留舍亢，其國有兵起，果實大賤，賤人之女暴貴。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星守亢，去一尺若七尺，四夷附中國。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Xing combines with the mansion Kangle, indicating some water disaster in this year. When Tian Xing overshadows and covers the star to the right of Kangle, it signifies that a great person will have worries, and the state will issue abnormal decrees. Tian Xing appears, stays, and enters the area of Kangle, indicating that the country corresponding to this area will attract the hearts of people across the land through a good harvest. Another interpretation suggests that a king who has lost his land will cause worry throughout the world. Qi Bo said: When Tian Xing appears, stays, and enters the area of Kangle, the country will have military actions, cheap fruits, and a low-born woman suddenly becoming prominent. The Spring and Autumn Map says: When Tian Xing guards Kangle, if the distance is one foot or seven feet, the four barbarian tribes will submit to the Central Plains.

石氏曰：“填星守亢，五穀傷，民流亡。填星守亢，四海且安居，貴禮義。填星守亢，色青有兵，黃有土功，白義，黑客事。”甘氏曰：“填星守亢，旱，有土功，天下必有得地之君，其國以歲致天下。”巫咸曰：“填星守亢，為土功；又曰旱，傷在南方，萬物不成，多火災，民疾疫，有中兵。”《海中占》曰：“填星守亢北，水在北方。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Filling Star is stationed at the Neck mansion, grain will be damaged and common people will flee. When the planet Filling Star is stationed at the Neck mansion, the four seas will be secure and the world will value propriety and righteousness. When the planet Filling Star is stationed at the Neck mansion, if the star appears blue, there will be military affairs; if it appears yellow, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood; if it appears white, there will be matters of upholding justice; if it appears black, foreign troops will invade. The Gan school says: When the planet Filling Star is stationed at the Neck mansion, there will be drought and construction projects involving earth and wood; the world will certainly have a ruler who gains land, and that country will attract the hearts of people throughout the land by having a bountiful harvest. Wu Xian says: When the planet Filling Star is stationed at the Neck mansion, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood; it also says there will be drought, damage will occur in the south, all things will not mature, there will be many fires, and people will suffer from epidemic diseases. There will be military affairs within the capital. The book "Sea Divination" says: When the planet Filling Star is stationed to the north of the Neck mansion, water disasters will occur in the north.

郗萌曰：“填星守亢，人民田宅賤；一曰人民大亡，五穀以水傷敗。填星守亢，為焦，旱不生草；一曰多蟲蝗。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星逆行守亢，為中兵。”《聖洽符》曰：“填星入守亢，為民多疫，物不成，五穀傷，民流亡。”郗萌曰：“填星乘亢右星，為水；乘左星，為大兵，穀貴。填星乘若守亢右星，為水，若糴大貴；乘左星，為兵。”《海中占》曰：“填星守若舍亢，為五穀頗不成。”甘氏曰：“填星犯守亢，逆行不順，失明，其邑大政不用。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Star is stationed at the mansion of the Neck, indicating that the price of land and houses of the people is low; another interpretation says that the people will suffer great migration, and the five grains will be destroyed by floods. The planet Tian Star stationed at the mansion of the Neck indicates a dry and withered appearance, with drought preventing grass from growing; another interpretation says there will be many pests and locust plagues. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Tian Star moves retrograde and is stationed at the mansion of the Neck, it indicates military action within the capital. The Sacred Harmony Symbol says: When the planet Tian Star enters and is stationed at the mansion of the Neck, it indicates that the people will suffer many diseases, crops will not mature, the five grains will be damaged, and the people will migrate. Xi Meng said: When the planet Tian Star approaches and occupies the star on the right side of the mansion of the Neck, it indicates water; when it approaches and occupies the star on the left side, it indicates large-scale military conflicts and rising grain prices. When the planet Tian Star approaches or is stationed at the star on the right side of the mansion of the Neck, it indicates water or a sharp increase in the price of rice; when it approaches the star on the left side, it indicates military conflict. The Sea Divination says: When the planet Tian Star is stationed or enters the mansion of the Neck, the five grains will have some failure in maturity. The Gan school says: When the planet Tian Star invades and is stationed at the mansion of the Neck, moving retrograde and not following the usual path, with a dim light, the city's major policies will not be implemented.

《荊州占》曰：“填星犯氐左星，左中郎將誅死，犯右星，右中郎將誅死，期三年。”陳卓曰：“填星入氐中，期三十日，彗星出王邑，西南指。”郗萌曰：“填星逆行氐，女主不居宮。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星入氐，果實大賤，賤人女暴貴。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When the planet Tian Star invades the left star of the Root Mansion, the Left Middle General will be executed; when it invades the right star, the Right Middle General will be executed, and the time limit is three years. Chen Zhuo says: When the planet Tian Star enters the middle of the Root Mansion, the time limit is thirty days, and a comet will appear in the sky over the royal capital, with the comet's tail pointing to the southwest. Xi Meng says: When the planet Tian Star moves retrograde in the Root Mansion, the master of the inner court cannot reside safely in the palace. The Spring and Autumn Tu says: When the planet Tian Star enters the Root Mansion, fruits and crops will be cheap, and a woman of low birth will suddenly rise to prominence.

郗萌曰：“填星徙倚前後於氐，女主非其人。填星乘氐之右星，天下有大水；乘氐之左星，天子自將兵於野。填星出入留舍氐，天下用兵，期不出四年，更立侯王。填星出入留舍氐，必有亡地者。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星守氐，皇后有拜賀太子；一曰賤人女有暴貴者，若有土功之事。黃星守氐，有赦令。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Tian Xing moves back and forth before and after the mansion of Di Xiu. The ruler of the harem is not a suitable person. When Tian Xing invades the star to the right of Di Xiu, there will be great floods throughout the land; when it invades the star to the left of Di Xiu, the emperor will personally lead his troops to campaign in the open field. When Tian Xing appears, stays, or enters the area of Di Xiu, there will be military movements, and the time limit will not exceed four years, and there will be a change in the appointment of princes and kings. When Tian Xing appears, stays, or enters the area of Di Xiu, there will certainly be people who lose their land. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Tian Xing guards Di Xiu, the empress will have an event of appointing a crown prince and receiving congratulations; another interpretation is that there will be a woman of low birth who suddenly rises to prominence, or there will be construction projects involving earth and wood. When the yellow star (which is Tian Xing) guards Di Xiu, an amnesty will be issued.

石氏曰：“填星守氐，有德令。填星守氐，即歲安；色赤，有分土裂地之君，四夷不服，天下大疫。填星守氐，國有大賢。填星守氐，有土功之事。填星守氐，田宅大貴；一曰有赦。”甘氏曰：“填星守大星，皇后有賀。”郗萌曰：“填星守氐，太子有智慧，九州清。填星守氐，天下必有亡國，死王。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of filling (Fill Star) resides in the Root mansion, the government will issue benevolent decrees. When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, the country will be stable; if the star appears red, there will be feudal lords who divide the land, the four barbarian tribes will not submit, and there will be a great plague throughout the land. When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, a great virtuous person will appear in the country. When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood. When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, land and property prices will rise sharply; another interpretation says there will be an amnesty. The Gan school says: When the large Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, the queen will have a joyful event and receive congratulations. Xi Meng says: When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, the crown prince will be wise, and the nine provinces will be in peace. When the Fill Star resides in the Root mansion, there will certainly be a country that is destroyed and a king who dies.

《荊州占》曰：“填星守氐，為后夫人憂，謂東行反還，去氐兩星二尺，期百二十日；去兩星尺，期六十日；與兩星齊，期二十日；以赦解之。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守氐，奸臣有謀。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“填星色青，守氐四十日，鄭國王死，更立人君。”《海中占》曰：“填星入守氐，必有亡城者；天下用兵，期不出三年，更立侯王；八十日不下，野有萬人之眾。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Tianxing (Filler Star) guards the mansion of Di (Root), it indicates that the queen or empress will have worries, referring to the situation where it moves eastward and then turns back: if it is two zhang (a unit of length) away from the two stars of Di, the duration is 120 days; if it is one zhang away, the duration is 60 days; if it aligns with the two stars, the duration is 20 days; this can be resolved by an amnesty decree. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the planet Tianxing guards the mansion of Di, there will be secret plots by ministers. "Twenty-Eight Mansions Mountain Classic Commentary" says: When the planet Tianxing is green in color and guards the mansion of Di for forty days, the king of Zheng will die and a new ruler will be established. "Sea Divination" says: When the planet Tianxing enters and guards the mansion of Di, there will certainly be a city that is lost; there will be military movements across the country, and within three years, there will be a change in the appointment of marquises and dukes; if it does not leave for eighty days, there will be a gathering of over ten thousand soldiers in the fields.

石氏曰：“填星犯房，天下相誅。”《荊州占》曰：“填星犯房右服，為秦魏；左服，為楚；右驂，為齊；左參，為趙。”郗萌曰：“填星犯房，成勾已，為后夫人喪。填星入房三道，為天子有子。填星入房十日，成勾已者，天子惡之，以赦解之。”《聖洽符》曰：“填星逆行房，成勾已，女主自恣若淫泆。”石氏曰：“填星到房心，皆正不失儀，失儀則為變。填星在右角，失行至房，侯王、皇帝，出入不時，王者有所誅。”《春秋圖》曰：“填星之房，倉穀豐。”《援神契》曰：“填星舍房，符命道興。”

The Shi school says: The planet of filling (Tianming) invading the Room mansion (Fang Xu) indicates that people throughout the world will mutually kill each other. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the planet of filling invades the right serving star of the Room mansion, the event will concern the state of Qin and Wei; if it invades the left serving star, the event will concern the state of Chu; if it invades the right骖 star, the event will concern the state of Qi; if it invades the left骖 star, the event will concern the state of Zhao (the four stars of the Room mansion are like the four horses of a carriage, the two inner stars are called serving stars, and the two outer stars are called骖 stars). Xi Meng says: When the planet of filling invades the Room mansion, its path is winding and forms the shape of "gou si" (first moving forward, then stopping, then moving backward, forming the shape of the character "si"), indicating that the empress and concubines will die. When the planet of filling enters the three passages of the Room mansion, it indicates that the emperor will have a son. When the planet of filling enters the Room mansion for ten days and forms the shape of "gou si", the emperor will dislike this celestial phenomenon, and can use an amnesty decree to resolve it. The "Shengqia Fuhu" says: When the planet of filling is in the Room mansion and moves backward, forming the shape of "gou si", the queen consort will be indulgent or licentious. The Shi school says: When the planet of filling moves to the Room mansion and the Heart mansion, it should be upright and not deviate from the normal pattern; deviation from the normal pattern indicates a change. When the planet of filling is in the right angle and moves beyond its proper course to the Room mansion, the marquises, emperors, and emperors will not enter or exit at the proper time, and the king will have someone to execute. The "Chunqiu Tu" says: When the planet of filling is in the Room mansion, the granary will have abundant grain. The "Yuan Shenqi" says: When the planet of filling enters the Room mansion, the doctrine of symbolic signs and the art of mysticism will arise.

石氏曰：“填星舍房，更起土功，宮室數移，多殃禍。填星守房左，二國交易；守房右，世多鰥寡人。守房左右，去復還，庶子乘國。應去而守房，其國有殃。”甘氏曰：“填星守房，國有女主喜。”巫咸曰：“填星守房，有獻馬者；若有土功事，起宮室者。填星守房，貴人多死者。填星守房，地動，多旱，民疾疫；一曰民多疾。”《海中占》曰：“填星守房，為土功。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Tian Star enters the mansion of Fang Su, there will be renewed construction of earth and wood projects, frequent relocation of palaces, and many calamities. If the Tian Star guards the left side of Fang Su, there will be mutual trade between two countries; if it guards the right side, there will be many widowers and widows. If the Tian Star guards either side of Fang Su and then departs but returns, the son born outside of wedlock will rise above the state's government. If the Tian Star should depart but remains in Fang Su, the country will suffer calamity. The Gan school says: When the Tian Star guards Fang Su, the queen mother in the palace will be joyful. Wu Xian says: When the Tian Star guards Fang Su, someone will present horses; or there will be earth and wood projects and palace construction. When the Tian Star guards Fang Su, many noblemen will die. When the Tian Star guards Fang Su, there will be earthquakes, frequent droughts, and an epidemic among the people; another interpretation says there will be many diseases among the people. The "Sea Divination" says: When the Tian Star guards Fang Su, it indicates earth and wood projects.

郗萌曰：“填星守房，大赦，其國有兵；一曰主無下堂；又為天下諸侯相謀慮，道不通；又為敵兵發，一雲南為旱，北為水，並在宋地。”填星守房，為大飢，人相食，死者不葬。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守房，有反逆，臣大人喪，天下易主。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉光熙元年九月巳亥、填星守房，心，占曰：土守房，多禍喪，守心，國內亂，天下赦，是時司馬越專權，十一月，惠帝崩、懷帝即位，大赦天下。）

Xi Meng said: The planet of filling (Jupiter) guarding the Room mansion portends a great amnesty, and there will be military affairs in that country; another interpretation says that the ruler should not descend from the hall; it also indicates that the feudal lords will be suspicious of each other and plot against one another, roads will be blocked, and enemy troops will be mobilized. Another interpretation says that if the planet of filling is to the south, it indicates drought, and if to the north, it indicates flooding, both events should occur in the territory of the state of Song. The planet of filling guarding the Room mansion indicates a great famine, people eating people, and the dead left unburied. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The planet of filling guarding the Room mansion indicates rebellion, ministers and great men suffering loss, and the whole world changing rulers. (Original book note: The "Song Book · Astronomical Records" records that in the first year of Guangxi of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, in September of the ninth month, the planet of filling was guarding the Room and Heart mansions. The divination text says: When the planet of filling guards the Room mansion, there will be many calamities and funerals; when it guards the Heart mansion, there will be internal turmoil and a great amnesty throughout the country. At that time, Sima Yue held exclusive power, and in November, Emperor Hui died, and Emperor Hui's son Emperor Hui succeeded the throne, and a great amnesty was declared throughout the country.)

《黃帝占》曰：“填星行房南，若守之，為大旱；行房北，犯守之，為大水。”郗萌曰：“填星逆行守房，女主出入自恣；一曰女主干政。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入房，留居之，有失國君；進而守之，其國有兵；退而守之，其國有慶。填星中犯凌房，國君憂；色青，憂喪；色赤，憂兵，積尸成山；色黑，有將相誅；色白，有芒角，大哭。”《海中占》曰：“填星入房，若犯之，有失地君，其國有兵，若女主憂。”

巫咸曰：“填星入軫中，伺其出日而數之，期二十日，為兵發；伺始入處之率，一曰期十日，軍罷。”郗萌曰：“填星逆行軫，女主持喪不謹。填星出入留舍軫，六十日不下，必有大旱六月；一日不出年，河海盡空；一曰不出三年，必有大喪。”石氏曰：“填星守軫中，兵大起。”甘氏曰：“填星守軫，土功大起，國有白衣之會，必有亡地，不出其年。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守軫，后有憂。”齊伯曰：“填星入軫，若守之，兵大起，有憂國；河當竭，天下大旱，禾稼死傷，人民大飢，期二年。”石氏曰：“填星逆行軫，女主貴親坐之。”郗萌曰：“填星起左角，逆行至軫，其下國，戰不勝。”

Wu Xian said: The planet of filling enters the Chariot mansion, waits for the day it exits and calculates the number of days, the period is twenty days, indicating the outbreak of military actions; from the day it begins to enter, calculate according to the usual rate, one day entering equals ten days of the period, when the period is fulfilled, the army will disband. Xi Meng said: The planet of fillingretrograde in the Chariot mansion, the ruler of the inner court is in mourning and not careful. The planet of filling appears, stays, and enters the Chariot mansion area, not leaving for sixty days, there will certainly be a drought lasting six months; another view is that within a year, all rivers, lakes, and seas will dry up; another view is that within three years, there will certainly be a great mourning event. The Shi school said: The planet of filling stays in the Chariot mansion, military actions will greatly increase. The Gan school said: The planet of filling stays in the Chariot mansion, large-scale construction projects will be carried out, the country has mourning gatherings, definitely losing territory, within this year. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: The planet of filling stays in the Chariot mansion, the empress will have worries.

The Shi school said: The planet of fillingretrograde in the Chariot mansion, the prominent relatives of the inner court will be punished for this. Xi Meng said: The planet of filling starts from the left angle,retrograde to the Chariot mansion, the country corresponding to the area below it will not be able to win in battle.

《海中占》曰：“填星犯守大角，臣謀主者有兵起，人主憂；王者戒慎左右，期不出百八十日，遠一年。”

The Sea Divination says: The planet Filling Star invades and occupies the Big Angle star, which is located between the Captor and the Great Angle, symbolizing the throne of the heavenly king. There will be ministers plotting against the sovereign, leading to the outbreak of military conflicts, and the sovereign will have worries. The king should be cautious and vigilant about his close attendants. The time limit does not exceed one hundred and eighty days, at the furthest one year.

巫咸曰：“填星犯守梗河，國有謀心，四夷兵起，來侵中國，邊境有憂。”

Wu Xian said: The planet of filling invades and occupies Genghe (the three stars north of Da Jiao, which presage matters concerning Hu troops and disputes), there are people within the country harboring conspiratorial intentions, the four surrounding barbarian tribes raise their armies and invade the Central Plains, there is worry at the borders.

《聖洽符》曰：“填星犯招搖，兵大起，敵人為寇；若守之，敵人敗；若其王死，期不出二年。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守招搖，旗幟廢不用。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the planet Tian Star invades Zhao Yao, military conflicts will greatly increase, and enemies will come to plunder; if the Tian Star holds its position, the enemy will be defeated; or the king of that country will die, and the time limit will not exceed two years. The Jingzhou Zhuan says: When the Tian Star guards Zhao Yao, the military banners will be discarded.

《聖洽符》曰：“填星犯守玄戈，邊兵大起，敵人為寇；若守之，敵人敗；若其王死，期不出二年。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the planet Tian Star invades and occupies Xuan Ge, which is the northern star associated with military affairs in the north, there will be major military disturbances on the borders, and enemies will come to plunder. If the Tian Star holds its position, the enemy will be defeated. Alternatively, the king of that country may die, and this will happen within two years.

巫咸曰：“填星守天槍，邊夷兵起，機槍大用，防戍有憂；若誅邊臣，期不出年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet of filling is guarding the celestial spear, which is the three stars beside the handle of the Big Dipper, resembling weapons. On the borderlands, barbarian tribes will raise armies, and there will be extensive use of weapons such as crossbows and long spears. There will be calamity at the border fortresses; or there will be execution of officials guarding the borders, and the time limit will not exceed one year.

巫咸曰：“填星犯守天棓，邊夷兵機槍大用，防戍憂；若誅邊臣，期不出年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet of filling is invading and occupying the Tian Bang star, which is located on the eastern side of the Purple Micro Enclosure and represents a weapon like a stick. There will be extensive use of weapons, crossbows and long spears by the barbarians in the border regions, and there will be troubles in the border garrisons. Alternatively, there may be the execution of border officials, and this will happen within a year.

《荊州占》曰：“填星犯女床，凶。”甘氏曰：“填星犯守女床，兵起宮中；若后妃有暴誅者，期百八十日，遠一年。”

The Zhongjiao Divination says: When the planet Tianji invades the female bed (the three stars of the female bed located north of Tianji, which presage the imperial harem), it is ominous. The Gan school says: When the planet Tianji invades and occupies the female bed, military calamity will originate from within the palace; or there will be sudden execution of a concubine among the imperial harem. The duration is one hundred and eighty days, at the furthest one year.

石氏曰：“填星犯七公，群公有疑議。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星守七公，為饑民，君不安。”石氏曰：“填星守七公，輔臣相疑；若有誅者，人主有憂。”

The Shi school says: The planet of filling (Fill Star) invading the Seven Publics (the seven stars of Seven Publics, located west of the chain of stars, symbolizing the positions of the Three Grand Ministers discussing state affairs) indicates that there will be doubts and disputes among the ministers. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the Fill Star guards the Seven Publics, it signifies that the common people will suffer from famine and the ruler will not find peace. The Shi school says: When the Fill Star guards the Seven Publics, the ministers assisting the ruler will suspect each other; if someone is executed, the ruler will also have worries.

石氏曰：“填星入貫索中犯乘守者，以獄為亂，多不平。”巫咸曰：“填星守犯貫索，天下亂，兵大起，多獄事，貴人有死者。”

The Shi school says: The planet Tianling enters Guansuo (also known as Tianlao, which signifies prisons and legal punishments), and also invades, overpowers, and guards it, leading to chaos caused by legal cases, with many unjust verdicts. Wu Xian says: When Tianling guards and invades Guansuo, there will be turmoil across the land, great military conflicts, numerous prison cases, and noblemen may be executed.

《文曜鉤》曰：“填星犯守天紀，倖臣執權，有兵起，王者有憂。”

The Wenyao Gou says: The planet Filling Star invades and occupies Tianji, which is the nine stars of Tianji to the east, governing laws and justice and judicial matters. Favorited ministers hold great power, military actions arise, and the king faces worries.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星犯守織女，天下有女憂，有兵起，不出其年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Filling Star invades and occupies the three stars of Weaving Lady in the Northeast of the Heavenly Market Enclosure, which governs matters of women's skills and silk and brocade, there will be troubles concerning women throughout the land, and military actions will arise, occurring within this year.

石氏曰：“填星入天市，將相凶，糴大貴；若女主有憂；又曰填星入天市中，相不死，使於皇道。”郗萌曰：“填星入，若守天市，糴大賤；一曰大貴。”又占曰：“填星入天市中，王宮有憂；一曰赦。”石氏曰：“填星守天市，有訟事入市，必有戮主；留百日，失大將。”又占曰：“填星逆行，入天市，驚；一曰將相凶。”

The Shi school said: When the planet Filling Star enters the Heavenly Market (Heavenly Market Enclosure, which governs gathering and trade), ministers and high officials will face misfortune, and the price of rice will rise sharply; or the ruler's concubine will have worries; it also said that when the Filling Star enters the Heavenly Market, although the chancellor will not die, he will be sent on a diplomatic mission along the royal road. Xi Meng said: When the Filling Star enters or stays in the Heavenly Market, the price of rice will fall sharply; another interpretation says it will rise sharply. Another divination says: When the Filling Star enters the Heavenly Market, the royal palace will have worries; another interpretation says there will be an amnesty. The Shi school said: When the Filling Star guards the Heavenly Market, there will be disputes reaching the market, and a person in charge will certainly be executed; if it stays for one hundred days, a great general will be lost. Another divination says: When the Filling Star moves retrograde and enters the Heavenly Market, there will be disturbances; another interpretation says ministers and high officials will face misfortune.

《玄冥占》曰：“填星犯帝座，為臣謀主，天下亂，兵大起，不出年。”

The Xuanming Divination says: When the planet Filling Star invades the position of the Emperor's Seat (a star in the Tianshi Enclosure symbolizing the dwelling place of the heavenly emperor), it indicates that ministers will plot against the sovereign, chaos will arise throughout the land, and large-scale military conflicts will break out, all within a year.

《海中占》曰：“填星守候星，陰陽不和，五穀傷，人大飢，有兵起。”

The Hai Zhong Zhan says: The planet Filling Star guards the Waiting Star (the star named Hou Yi located northeast of the Imperial Seat, which oversees the observation of yin and yang and the monitoring of weather changes). When the qi of yin and yang is not in harmony, the five grains will be damaged, leading to great famine among the people and the outbreak of military conflicts.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守宦者，左右輔臣有誅戮者，期不出年。”

The Gan school says: The planet of filling fills and occupies the ministers' position (the four stars of the ministers located southwest of the imperial seat, which represent servants in the palace), there will be ministers assisting the ruler who will be executed, and the time limit does not exceed one year.

石氏曰：“填星犯守宗正，左右群臣多死，若更政令，人主有憂。”

The Shi school's "Shi Star Classic" says: When the planet of earth (the planet of filling) invades and stays on the "Zongzheng" star, the ministers close to the king will die one after another; or the court will change its policies, causing the monarch to worry. The Zongzheng is an official in charge of the royal family's genealogy. The star of Zongzheng in the sky corresponds to this official, so the calamity indicated by this celestial phenomenon will affect the royal family's close ministers and the changing of court policies.

石氏曰：“填星犯宗人，親族貴人有憂，若有死者；一曰人主宗親有離絕者。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of Earth is in conflict with the star of Clan Relations, prominent members of the royal family will suffer misfortune, and some may even die. Another view is that there will be people within the royal family who are stripped of their clan status and cut off from family ties. The star of Clan Relations in the heavens governs the genealogy and the hierarchy of kinship. When this star is afflicted, the calamity will manifest entirely within the family.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守宗星，宗室之臣有分離者。”

The Gan school's Star Classic says: When the planet of earth occupies and remains on the 'Zong Star', there will be someone from the royal family's lineage who is sent away and dispersed among different places. The Zong Star governs the order of ranks during worship at the ancestral temple. When the earth planet stays long on this star, it is a sign that the gathering of the clan is being disrupted.

石氏曰：“填星守犯東西咸，為臣不從令，有陰謀。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn stops and invades the two groups of stars called 'Dong Xian' and 'Xi Xian', it indicates that ministers and officials will not carry out the king's orders and will secretly plot against him. Dong Xian and Xi Xian are located on both sides of the Fang Suo, like the gates on either side of a palace. Their function is to prevent licentiousness and to separate inside from outside. When the stars of the gates are invaded, it signifies that ministers will outwardly obey but inwardly conspire and plot secretly.

巫咸曰：“填星守犯天江，天下有水；若入之，大水齊，城郭損，民飢亡，去其鄉。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Saturn stops and invades the Tian Jiang star, there will be floods throughout the land; if Saturn directly enters the area of the Tian Jiang star, then great floods will surge all at once, destroying both inner and outer city walls, causing people to suffer from hunger and death, and forcing them to leave their homeland. Tian Jiang is a star official that governs rivers and waterways, so when it is disturbed, it specifically indicates floods.

《陳卓占》曰：“填星犯建星，大臣相譖。”甘氏曰：“填星守建星，女主有謀，兵起宮中；女主有黜者，期不出年中。”《海中占》曰：“填星守建星，田宅大貴；一曰在陽，賤；在陰，貴。”

The "Chen Zhuo Zhan" says: When the planet of earth invades the "Jian Star," there will be mutual slander and intrigue among ministers. Gan De says: When the planet of earth stays at the Jian Star, there will be secret plots in the harem by the female sovereign, and rebellion will arise from within the palace; there will also be the removal of concubines, but the fulfillment of this omen will not occur within the same year. The "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: When the planet of earth stays at the Jian Star, the prices of land and houses will rise greatly; another interpretation says, when the planet of earth is in the southern yang position relative to the Jian Star, the prices of land and houses will be low; when it is in the northern yin position, the prices will be high. The Jian Star governs banners and gates, symbolizing commands and palace gates, so this omen corresponds both to changes within the palace and to fluctuations in the prices of land and property.

甘氏曰：“填星犯天弁，若守之，則囚徒起兵；一曰五穀不成，粟大貴，民飢。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn invades the star Tian Bian or stays above it, there will be rebellions and uprisings by prisoners; another interpretation is that there will be a poor harvest of grain, with the price of millet soaring and the people suffering from famine. Tian Bian is the star representing the official in charge of markets, governing trade and commerce, so when it is afflicted, it indicates both rising prices and disturbances in the prison.

《海中占》曰：“填星入河鼓，大將有受賜地者，期百八十日，遠一年。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星中犯河鼓大將，若左右將，有誅；其犯守之，為誅；若有罪，以五色占之。”

The Sea of the Sea Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the three stars of He Gu, there will be a great general who receives a title and is granted land, and the period for this event is one hundred and eighty days, or one year if delayed. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth directly confronts the central general star among the three stars of He Gu, or when it confronts the two general stars on either side, it indicates that the general will be executed. If the planet of earth invades and stays upon He Gu, the same outcome of execution occurs. Whether the punishment is death or merely a crime depends on the five colors—green, red, yellow, white, and black—displayed by the planet of earth. The three stars of He Gu symbolize military drums and the general, so the fortune or misfortune lies entirely upon the general.

石氏曰：“填星犯離珠，宮中有事；若有亂宮者；若宮人有罪黜者。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of Earth invades the star of the Fire Jewel, there will be incidents within the palace; or someone will rebel within the palace, causing disorder in the inner court; or palace attendants will be punished and expelled. The Fire Jewel is the star associated with the ornament worn by the female ruler, belonging to the inner palace. Therefore, the calamity will occur within the palace.

《聖洽符》曰：“填星犯守匏瓜，天下有憂；若有遊兵，名果貴；一曰魚鹽貴，價十倍，不出其年。”

The Shengqie Fu says: When the planet Saturn invades and stays at the "Paojia" star, there will be calamities throughout the land; or there may be scattered troops wandering around, and expensive fruits will become very costly. Another interpretation is that fish and salt will rise in price, reaching ten times their usual cost, but this prediction did not come true in the following year. Paojia is associated with the cultivation of fruits and vegetables and also relates to the imperial harem, so this omen specifically indicates the fluctuation in the prices of goods.

郗萌曰：“填星犯天津，關道絕不通，有兵起；若關吏有憂；若守有兵革。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星出天津中，天下大水有溢者；若天下有急。”

Xi Meng said: The planet of earth invades the Tianjin star, causing blockage of passes and roads, and there will be warfare; or the officials guarding the passes will suffer misfortune; or the planet of earth remains above it, indicating turmoil and warfare. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth passes through the nine stars of Tianjin, there will be great floods overflowing throughout the land; or there will be urgent events occurring in the world. Tianjin spans across the Milky Way, symbolizing a ferry crossing, so this omen corresponds to both the blockage of passes and roads and the flooding of waters.

甘氏曰：“填星守螣蛇，天子前驅凶；若奸臣有謀，前驅為害。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn remains at the position of 'Teng Sha', it indicates that the vanguard generals preceding the emperor will face danger. Alternatively, it may signify that wicked ministers are secretly plotting, and even those who lead and protect the emperor may turn into a source of calamity. Teng Sha represents the image of a flying snake, a water creature, which inherently signifies strange and unusual events. Therefore, this omen is often associated with disturbances among the attendants and guards.

石氏曰：“填星守王良，為有兵。”齊伯曰：“填星守犯王良，天下有兵，諸侯相攻，強臣謀主，期不出年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth stays at the star 'Wangliang', there will be warfare. Qi Bo says: When the planet of earth stays and invades the star Wangliang, the whole world will see military calamities, the feudal princes will attack each other, and powerful ministers will plot against the sovereign. The time of this event will not occur within the same year. Wangliang is the star of the sovereign's charioteer, governing the movement of carriages and horses. When this star is disturbed, it corresponds to military campaigns and the movement of troops.

石氏曰：“填星犯守閣道而絕漢者，為九州異政，各主其土，天下兵，期二年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn invades and remains on the stars of the 'Gedao' path, crossing the Milky Way horizontally, it indicates that the nine provinces will each govern themselves, not under a single authority, each claiming its own territory and acting independently, leading to warfare across the land, expected to last two years. Gedao is a secondary path from the Purple Palace to Yingshi, originally the route for the sovereign to travel. When Saturn blocks this path, it symbolizes that imperial decrees cannot reach all directions.

石氏曰：“填星守附路，大僕有罪，若誅；一曰馬多死，道無乘馬者。”

The Shi school says: The planet of the Earthly Stem is stationed on the star of 'Fulù', so the Grand Steward in charge of carriages will be punished, even executed; another view is that many horses will die, and there will be no riders on horseback on the road. Fulù is a subsidiary path beside the celestial path, governing the movement and stopping of carriages, so its change should be reflected in the official responsible for horses and the carriages themselves.

郗萌曰：“填星入天大將軍，與軍者吉。”石氏曰：“填星犯守天大將軍，為大將困；若有死者。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet of Earth enters the "Tian Da Jiangjun" star region, it is auspicious for those involved in military affairs. The Shi school said: When the planet of Earth invades and stays on Tian Da Jiangjun, it indicates that the general is in trouble and even people may die as a result. Tian Da Jiangjun commands the heavenly troops, so the same celestial phenomenon brings different fortune for those who serve in the army and the general himself. Therefore, when making predictions, they should be considered separately.

石氏曰：“填星入大陵，國有喪，大臣有誅，若戮死；人民死者半，皆不出其年。”

The Shi school said: When the planet Saturn enters the 'Daling' star region, there will be mourning in the country, ministers will be executed, and even suffer the extreme punishment of public display of corpses; more than half of the people will die. All these events will be fulfilled within the same year. Daling is a star that governs accumulation of corpses and burial, which naturally presides over death and mourning. When Saturn enters this region, the calamity will be especially severe.

石氏曰：“填星乘捲舌，天下可喪。”又占曰：“填星入守捲舌，國有佞臣謀其君，以口捲舌，為人主有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth rises and overshadows the 'tongue rolling' star, there will be calamity throughout the land. Another divination says: When the planet of earth enters and stays within the 'tongue rolling' star, there will be a cunning minister within the country plotting against his sovereign. Using his eloquent tongue, he will reverse right and wrong, causing the sovereign to be plagued by worries. The 'tongue rolling' star is associated with slander through words, so this omen indicates disaster arising from verbal accusations and plots.

石氏曰：“填星犯五車，大旱，若有喪；一曰犯庫星，兵起北方，若西方；犯倉星，穀貴，若有水。”《海中占》曰：“填星入五車，兵大起，車騎行，五穀不成，天下民飢，若軍絕糧。”郗萌曰：“填星守天庫，以喪起兵國中。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth invades the 'Wu Che' star, there will be a great drought or mourning; another view says, when the planet of earth invades the 'ku star' among the Wu Che, warfare will start in the north or the west; when it invades the 'cang star', grain prices will rise sharply, or there will be floods. The book Hai Zhong Zhan says: When the planet of earth enters Wu Che, great military calamities will arise, chariots and cavalry will be mobilized, the five grains will not be ripe, the people throughout the land will suffer from famine, or there will be shortages of food in the army. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth stays on 'Tian Ku', the country will start warfare due to mourning. Wu Che originally governs military chariots and granaries, so this omen corresponds to both military campaigns and the harvest of grain.

又占曰：“填星舍五車中央，大旱；又多蟲，在燕、伐。”又占曰：“填星舍五車東北、六畜蕃息，繒帛大賤；一曰天下多凶；舍東南，高田收，下田不收；又萬民多疾，無死者，民反壽；舍西南，布若棺槨並貴；舍西北，天下安寧。”又占曰：“填星守昴，東行至天高，復反五車；為邊兵發，有赦令。”

Another divination text says: When the planet Saturn stops at the center of the Five Stars, it indicates a great drought; there will also be many pests, and the disaster area will be in the Yan region and the territory corresponding to the star Faval. Another divination text says: When Saturn stops at the northeast corner of the Five Stars, livestock will flourish, and the price of silk and cloth will drop greatly; another interpretation says that there will be many calamities throughout the country. When Saturn stops at the southeast corner, the fields in high places will have a good harvest, but the fields in low places will yield nothing; also, the people will suffer many diseases, but they will not die, instead enjoying a long life. When Saturn stops at the southwest corner, the price of cloth and coffins will rise together. When Saturn stops at the northwest corner, the country will be peaceful and free of incidents. Another divination text says: When Saturn stays at the mansion of Hairy Head and moves eastward to the star "High Heaven," then turns back to the Five Stars; it indicates military campaigns on the borders, and the court will issue an amnesty decree.

石氏曰：“填星行天關中，每至柳楊，當去不去，徘徊亂行，光色盛怒，見其妖祥，中國隔絕，道路不通。”郗萌曰：“填星守天關，貴人多死。”巫咸曰：“填星守天關，王者壅蔽，信使不達，若關梁不通。”郗萌曰：“填星行不從天關，不出其年，有兵。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth is located between the star Tian Guan, and whenever it reaches the area of Liu and Yang, it should move but does not, instead wandering back and forth, moving erratically, with bright and fierce light as if in anger, displaying such ominous signs. Then the central plains and all directions become isolated, and roads are cut off. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth stays at Tian Guan, many noblemen will die. Wu Xian says: When the planet of earth stays at Tian Guan, the king is obscured and blocked, messengers' messages cannot be conveyed, or gates and bridges are blocked and impassable. Xi Meng also says: When the planet of earth does not pass through Tian Guan as it should, the prediction for that year will not be fulfilled, and there will be warfare. Tian Guan is the gateway through which the sun, moon, and five planets enter and exit. If this gate is obstructed, all the predicted events will be isolated and blocked.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星乘南河戍，若出南河南，為中國。”石氏曰：“填星守南河，蠻夷兵起，邊城有憂；若旱災，人民飢。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星行南河戍中，若留止守之，為有喪。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星行南河戍中，若留止守之，為旱；一曰為有疾在民。”郗萌曰：“填星行南河戍中，若留止守之，為有喪。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth appears above and suppresses 'Nan He Xu', or emerges from the south of Nan He, the verification will occur in the Central Plains states. The Shi school says: When the planet of earth stays on Nan He, the four barbarian tribes will rise in rebellion, border cities will suffer calamities; or there will be drought, and the people will suffer from famine. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the planet of earth moves within Nan He Xu, or remains stationed above it, there will be mourning. The Yellow Emperor's Divination further says: When the planet of earth moves within Nan He Xu, or remains stationed above it, there will be drought; another interpretation is that an epidemic will spread among the people. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth moves within Nan He Xu, or remains stationed above it, there will be mourning. Nan He and Bei He are located on either side of Jing Xu, like the northern and southern gatekeepers, marking the boundary between the Huaxia and the barbarians. Therefore, the divination texts related to this star official often distinguish between the Central Plains and the four barbarian tribes.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星出北河戍北，若乘之，為王死。”郗萌曰：“填星出河戍北，若乘之，為有女喪。”又占曰：“填星守北河戍西，五穀無實。”又占曰：“填星失度，守陰門若陽門，皆為諸侯奸。”《玄冥占》曰：“北主死，天下大水，人民飢，期不出二年之內。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth moves out from north of the northern river's戍 position or rises above and presses upon it, it indicates the death of the king. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth moves out from north of the northern river's戍 position or rises above and presses upon it, it indicates the death of a female relative. Another divination says: When the planet of earth stays west of the northern river's戍 position, the five grains will not mature. Another divination says: When the planet of earth deviates from its normal course and stays on the阴门 or阳门, it indicates that the feudal lords have secret plots. The玄冥 Divination says: The northern ruler will die, there will be great floods throughout the land, and the people will suffer from hunger, and this prediction will come true within two years. The northern river is called the阴门, and the southern river is called the阳门, which are the northern and southern gateways in the sky. Therefore, this omen relates to the survival or death of the sovereign and the feudal lords.

郗萌曰：“填星經南河戍之南，刑法峻暴，誅伐不當；經北河戍之北，以女子、金錢、貪色、奢侈，失治道，期三年。”又占曰：“填星守南北河戍，賜爵祿，不出六十日，有赦；一曰有土功事。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星出北河戍間，若留守北戍；若居南河戍間，若守南戍；為天下有難起，道路不通。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet of earth passes south of the southern river and the western border, it indicates severe and brutal punishments, and wrongful executions and military campaigns; when it passes north of the northern river and the western border, it indicates the king indulging in concubines, wealth, women, and luxury, thus losing the way of governing the country, and this should be expected within three years. Another divination says: When the planet of earth stays on the southern river and the northern river and the western border, the court will bestow titles and salaries, and within no more than sixty days there will be an amnesty; another interpretation suggests that there will be construction projects. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth passes out from between the northern river and the western border, or stays at the northern border; or enters between the southern river and the western border, or stays at the southern border: these all indicate that calamities will arise in the country, and roads will be blocked.

石氏曰：“填星犯五諸侯，若守之，兵大起，將士出，諸侯有死者。”巫咸曰：“填星入五諸侯，伺其出日而數之，二十日，兵發；伺其入處之率，一日期十日，軍罷。”石氏曰：“填星中犯乘守五諸侯，兵死，期三年。”郗萌曰：“填星中犯乘守五諸侯，為所中乘守者，諸侯有殃；期三年，兵發。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth invades or stays on the position of the Five Princes, great military calamities will arise, generals will go to war, and among the princes, some will die. Wu Xian says: When the planet of earth enters the position of the Five Princes, one should watch the day it leaves and count twenty days from that day to launch an army; also, according to the duration of its stay, if the planet remains for one day, the army should disband after ten days. The Shi school says: When the planet of earth directly confronts, overshadows, and stays on the position of the Five Princes, it indicates the death of soldiers in battle, and the calamity will occur within three years. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth directly confronts, overshadows, and stays on the position of the Five Princes, the prince corresponding to the position that is confronted or overshadowed will suffer disaster; the calamity will occur within three years, and military action will be initiated at that time.

巫咸曰：“填星犯守積水，其國有水災，萬物不成，魚鹽貴，一曰以水為敗，糴大貴，人民飢，期二年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Saturn invades and stays at the 'Accumulated Water' star, and the country corresponding to this star will suffer from water disasters, with all things failing to mature, fish and salt prices rising; another account says that due to water disasters, there will be failure and collapse, the price of grain soars, and the people suffer from hunger, which will occur within two years. The 'Accumulated Water' star governs the storage of water and liquid, so the meaning of this omen is entirely related to water disasters and grain prices.

甘氏曰：“填星守積薪，天下旱，五穀不登，人民飢亡。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn remains stationed at the star "Jixin" (accumulated firewood), the whole country experiences a great drought, with poor harvests of grain and people starving to death. Jixin represents the image of piled firewood, which is used for fire. Saturn staying there for a long time causes the drought demon to prevail and the harvest to be poor.

石氏曰：“填星守犯水位，天下水為害，津關不通；一曰大水入城郭，傷人民，不出二年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth remains and invades the 'water position' star, there will be water disasters throughout the country, with ferry crossings and checkpoints blocked off; another account says that great floods will flood the city walls, injuring the people, and this will come to pass within two years. The four stars of the water position are located north of Yu鬼 and Liu Xu, governing the officials responsible for water balance and the rise and fall of water levels. When these stars are invaded, it directly indicates flooding.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星行軒轅中，犯女主，女主失勢；（失勢者，憂喪也。）列大夫有放逐者；五官有治者。色悴，為憂，為疾；其所中犯乘守者誅；若有罪。”石氏曰：“填星在軒轅中，有以女子謀人君者。”又占曰：“填星守軒轅，天下大赦。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of Earth is located among the star cluster called "Xuanyuan," and it invades the star representing the female ruler, it indicates that the female ruler will lose her power (note from the original text: losing power means encountering calamity and death). Among the officials in court, there will be those who are exiled; among the five ministers, there will be those who are investigated and punished. If the planet of Earth appears dark and dull, it signifies sorrow and illness. Those whose stars are directly confronted, overpowered, or guarded by the planet of Earth will be executed or punished. The Shi school says: When the planet of Earth is stationed within Xuanyuan, someone will use a woman to plot against the king. Another divination says: When the planet of Earth remains in Xuanyuan, the whole country will issue a great amnesty.

甘氏曰：“填星守軒轅，天下大亂，後宮破散，改政易王；人主以赦除咎，期三年。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星守犯女主，女主當之；中犯女，主女主憂。”巫咸曰：“填星行犯守軒轅，女主失政，若失賊；一曰大臣當之，若出黜者，期二年。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉穆帝昇平二年十二月辛卯，填星犯軒轅大星，三年十月，豫州刺史謝萬入朝，眾潰而歸，除名為民，十一月，司徒會稽王以二鎮敗，求自貶三等也。）

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn remains in the position of Xuanyan, there will be great chaos throughout the land, the imperial harem will scatter and be ruined, the government orders will change, and the ruler will be replaced. The ruler will use the issuance of pardons to eliminate calamities, and the period of this event will be three years. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When Saturn remains and invades the star of the female ruler, the calamity will be borne by the female ruler; if it directly confronts the star of the female ruler, it indicates sorrow for the female ruler. Wu Xian said: When Saturn moves and invades and remains in Xuanyan, it indicates that the female ruler will lose her authority, or there will be encounters with bandits; another interpretation is that the calamity will be borne by the ministers, or someone will be demoted and dismissed, and the period of this event will be two years. (The original book's note cites the "Song History · Astronomical Records" which says: In the twelfth month of the second year of Emperor Mu of Jin's Shengping era, on the Xinmao day, Saturn invaded the great star of Xuanyan; in the tenth month of the third year of Shengping, the governor of Yu州, Xie Wan, entered the court, and his territory collapsed and returned, and he was removed from the register and demoted to commoner status; in the eleventh month, the Chancellor, Prince of Kuaiji, due to two military defeats, voluntarily requested a reduction of his rank by three levels.)

石氏曰：“填星中犯乘守軒轅大民星，大飢大流，太后宗有誅者，若有罪；中犯乘守少民星，小飢小流，皇后宗有誅者，若有罪。”石氏曰：“填星入軒轅中，犯乘守之，有逆賊，若火災。”

The Shi school said: When the planet Saturn directly confronts, overshadows, and remains on the 'Great People' star of Xuanyuan, it indicates a great famine and large-scale migration, with someone from the empress dowager's family being executed or punished. If Saturn directly confronts, overshadows, and remains on the 'Lesser People' star, it indicates a minor famine and small-scale migration, with someone from the empress's family being executed or punished. The Shi school also said: When Saturn enters Xuanyuan and confronts, overshadows, and remains on it, it indicates the occurrence of rebels or fires. Xuanyuan symbolizes the imperial concubines and the body of the yellow dragon, so the implications of this omen are entirely within the palace and the imperial relatives.

石氏曰：“填星入少微，君當求賢佐；不求賢佐，則失威奪勢矣。”石氏曰：“填星犯守少微，名士有憂；王者任用小人，忠臣被害，有死者。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星入中犯乘守少微，為宰相易；又曰為女主有憂。”石氏曰：“填星入中犯乘守少微，為五官亂，宰相有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters the area of the star "Shao Wei," the ruler should seek virtuous ministers; if he does not seek virtuous ministers, he will lose his authority and lose power. The Shi school also says: When the planet of earth invades and stays on Shao Wei, renowned scholars will suffer misfortune; the king employs petty men, loyal ministers are falsely accused, and some may even die because of this. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth enters, invades, and stays on Shao Wei, the prime minister will be replaced; it also says that the female ruler will have worries. The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters, invades, and stays on Shao Wei, the five officials will be in disorder, and the prime minister will have worries. The four stars of Shao Wei represent virtuous men who live in seclusion, so this omen is specifically about the gains and losses of people.

陳卓曰：“填星犯太微，女主持政，大夫執綱。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入太軌道，吉；輕道者，入西門，出東門；若左右掖門，行不留也；不執道者，謂有所犯守也。”石氏曰：“填星出東掖門，為相受命，東南出德事也；出西掖門，為將受命，西南出刑事也。期以春夏。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the planet Saturn invades the Taiwei enclosure, it indicates that a female ruler will control the government, and the ministers will dominate the state affairs. The Jingzhou Divination says: When Saturn enters the Taiwei and moves along its proper path, it is auspicious; the term 'light path' refers to Saturn entering from the western gate and exiting from the eastern gate, or passing through the left and right gates without stopping; the term 'not following the path' refers to Saturn invading and lingering among the stars within the enclosure. The Shi school said: When Saturn exits from the eastern gate, it signifies that the prime minister receives a mandate, and the affairs initiated from the southeast involve bestowing favors and virtue; when Saturn exits from the western gate, it signifies that the generals receive a mandate, and the affairs initiated from the southwest involve punishment and military campaigns. The predicted time occurs in the spring and summer seasons.

《荊州占》曰：“填星入太微宮，皆為天子大驚；一曰有兵；又曰入天庭，不安。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星入天庭，色白潤澤，為期百八十日，有赦。”《荊州占》曰：“填星道西番，入留止南門者，皆為大臣有憂。”石氏曰：“填星入太微中華東西門，若左右掖門，而南出端門者，為有大臣叛。”郗萌曰：“填星入太微，有德令。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of earth enters the Taimei Palace, it indicates the emperor will suffer great disturbance; another interpretation suggests there will be military affairs; it also says when the planet of earth enters the Tian廷 (Heavenly Court), the imperial court will not be at peace. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the planet of earth enters the Tian廷, its light is white and moist, lasting for one hundred and eighty days, and there will be an imperial pardon issued. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of earth comes from the western border and enters, and remains at the southern gate, it indicates ministers will face troubles. The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters the Taimei's Zhonghua East Gate, Zhonghua West Gate, or the left and right Yemeng Gates, and exits through the southern Duan Gate, it indicates ministers will rebel. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth enters Taimei, it indicates there will be imperial edicts of benevolent governance.

石氏曰：“填星入西門，出東門，皆為人君不安，欲求賢佐；入中華西門，出中華門間，為臣出令；入太陰西門，出太陰東門，皆為天下大亂；有喪，若大水。”《春秋緯合誠圖》曰：“填星入中華闕門者，為臣殺主之候。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters through the western gate and exits through the eastern gate, it indicates the ruler's mind is unsettled and he desires to seek capable ministers for assistance; if it enters through the western gate of Zhonghua and exits between the two Zhonghua gates, it signifies that orders will be issued by ministers rather than the sovereign. If it enters through the western gate of Taiyin and exits through the eastern gate of Taiyin, it foretells great chaos throughout the realm, with impending calamities or major floods. The "Chunqiu Wei · Hecheng Tu" states: When the planet of earth enters the Zhonghua gate, it is a premonition of a minister killing the sovereign.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星東行入太微廷，出東門，天下有兵，急；若守將、相丞、御史、大臣有死者；若入端門守廷，大禍至；入南門，出東門，國大旱；若入南門，南行出西門，國有大水；逆行入東門，出西門，大國破亡；若順入西蕃，而留不去，楚國凶殃。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of Earth moves eastward into the court of Taiwei, then exits from the eastern gate, it indicates that the country will have warfare and a critical situation; or it may indicate that a general defending the borders, a prime minister, an imperial censor, or a court minister will die. If it enters through the end gate and remains within the court, great calamity will occur. If it enters through the southern gate and exits through the eastern gate, there will be a great drought in the country. If it enters through the southern gate, moves southward, and exits through the western gate, the country will suffer a great flood. If it moves westward against the usual direction, entering through the eastern gate and exiting through the western gate, a great state will be ruined and destroyed. If it moves in the usual direction into the western frontier and remains there without departing, the region of Chu will face misfortune.

郗萌曰：“填星入西門，犯天庭，出端門，皆為大臣伐主；入西門，西折出右掖門，皆為大臣假主之威，而不從主命。”石氏曰：“填星逆行太微之中，及出門左右掖門者，有逆謀；天子有命將征伐之事；一曰大赦可以解其患也。”郗萌曰：“填星當左右執法，為受事；守太微門三日以下，為受制；三日以上，為兵、為賊、為亂、為飢。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Saturn enters through the western gate, invades the celestial court, and then exits through the end gate, it indicates that ministers will rebel against the sovereign; if Saturn enters through the western gate and turns westward to exit through the right wing gate, it indicates that ministers will act under the sovereign's authority but will not obey the sovereign's orders. The Shi school said: When Saturn retrogrades within Taiwei and exits through the enclosure gate or the left and right wing gates, it indicates there is a plot of rebellion; the Son of Heaven will have the appointment of generals and the dispatch of troops for military campaigns; another interpretation suggests that a great amnesty can resolve this calamity. Xi Meng said: When Saturn is in the position of Left Judge and Right Judge, it indicates the handling of state affairs; if it stays in Taiwei gate for less than three days, it indicates receiving imperial orders; if it stays for more than three days, it indicates military action, bandits, disorder, and famine.

《荊州占》曰：“填星中犯左右執法，執法者誅，若有罪。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入太微，從右入七日以上，皆為人主憂。”巫咸曰：“填星逆行，入太微天庭中，為大臣有誅；若諸侯戮死；期二年。”石氏曰：“填星入太微廷，所中犯乘守者，皆為天子所誅，若有罪。”石氏曰：“填星守太微宮，必有破國、易世、改王。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of Earth is directly opposite the Left and Right Judicial Stars, it indicates that officials in charge of law and punishment will be executed or punished. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the planet of Earth enters the Taiwei constellation and stays for more than seven days from the right side, it foretells that the sovereign will have worries. Wu Xian says: When the planet of Earth moves retrograde and enters the Taiwei court, it indicates that a minister will be executed; or a feudal lord will be put to death; the event will occur within two years. The Shi school says: When the planet of Earth enters the Taiwei court, anyone whose star is directly opposite, overshadowed, or guarded by the planet of Earth will be executed by the Son of Heaven or punished. The Shi school also says: When the planet of Earth stays in the Taiwei palace, it certainly indicates the country will fall, the dynasty will change, and the ruler will be replaced.

（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉安帝義熙十四年八月癸酉，填星太微中。犯右執法，因留太微，積二百餘日乃去，是年高祖受宋公，恭帝元年七月，受宋王二年三月庚午。填星犯太微，六月晉帝遜位，高祖入宮。）《荊州占》曰：“填星有留太微廷中，皆為天下大憂；中央留十日以上，皆為天下有亡徒為兵者。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星干太微，留守三十日以上，必為有革，天下大赦。”

(A footnote from the original text: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the fourteenth year of Emperor Jian of the Jin Dynasty, in the eighth month on the day of Guiyou, the planet Saturn was in the area of Taiwei and invaded the Right Judicial Officer, remaining there for a long time, and finally left after more than two hundred days. In this year, the High Ancestor Liu Yu was granted the title of Duke of Song; in the first year of the Revered Emperor, he was granted the title of King of Song; in the third month of the second year on the day of Gengwu, Saturn invaded Taiwei again, and in the sixth month, the Jin Emperor abdicated the throne, and the High Ancestor entered the palace.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Saturn remains in the Taiwei court, it indicates great calamity for the world; if it stays in the center for more than ten days, it indicates that there will be people fleeing and gathering to form armies. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: When Saturn invades Taiwei and remains there for more than thirty days, there will certainly be changes, and the world will issue a great amnesty.

郗萌曰：“填星逆行，入左掖門，皆為臣劫其主；又入東門，至黃帝座，出西門，皆為臣欲弒主，不成。”陳卓曰：“填星逆行執法四輔，若還繞守之，所守者有憂；若死亡，近期一年，遠期五年。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Saturn moves retrograde and enters from the left gate, it indicates that ministers will seize the king; if it enters from the eastern gate, proceeds to the seat of the Yellow Emperor, and exits from the western gate, it signifies that ministers intend to kill the king, but their plan will not succeed. Chen Zhuo said: When Saturn moves retrograde to the positions of the officials and the four assistants, or circles around and stays among them, the person governed by the star it is guarding will suffer misfortune; in severe cases, it may even lead to death, with the outcome occurring within one year or, at the furthest, within five years.

石氏曰：“填星犯黃帝座，改政易王，天下亂，存亡半；期三年。”石氏曰：“填星入太微，干黃帝座，其女主執政，用威勢。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入黃帝座，其色白者，為有赦。”又占曰：“填星觸黃帝座星，賊死。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星守黃帝座，為人主憂。”

The Shi school said: When the planet Saturn invades the "Yellow Emperor's Seat," it indicates changes in government orders, the replacement of the king, chaos throughout the land, with half the people surviving and half perishing; the period of occurrence is three years. The Shi school also said: When Saturn enters the Taiwei constellation and conflicts with the Yellow Emperor's Seat, it indicates that a female ruler will control the government and abuse her power. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Saturn enters the Yellow Emperor's Seat and its light appears white, it indicates the issuance of an amnesty decree. Another divination says: When Saturn touches the Yellow Emperor's Seat star, it indicates the death of rebels. The "Yellow Emperor Divination" says: When Saturn remains at the Yellow Emperor's Seat, it indicates the ruler will have worries. The Yellow Emperor's Seat is the central part of the Taiwei constellation, symbolizing the throne of the Son of Heaven, so when it is invaded, it directly relates to the safety of the sovereign.

《荊州占》曰：“填星逆行入太微天廷中者，為諸侯將有弒主者，至黃帝座而成；不至黃帝座而還，有謀不成；以其入日占國。”《洛書摘亡闢》曰：“填星逆行黃帝座，亡君之戒。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of earth moves backward into the court of Taiwei, it indicates that among the feudal lords there will be someone who kills the king; if the planet continues moving until it reaches the seat of the Yellow Emperor, the act of rebellion will take place; if it turns back before reaching the seat of the Yellow Emperor, then the conspiracy will not succeed; as for which state it will affect, it should be determined by the territory corresponding to the day on which the planet enters the court. The *Luo Writing Excerpts on the Fall of a Ruler* says: When the planet of earth moves backward to the seat of the Yellow Emperor, this is a warning sign that the ruler will perish.

石氏曰：“填星犯守四帝座，臣謀主；去之一尺，事不成。又占曰：填星中犯乘守四帝座，闢憂。”甘氏曰：“填星中犯乘守四帝座，天下亡。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn approaches and stays at the 'Four Imperial Seats,' it indicates that ministers may plot against the sovereign. If Saturn moves away by more than a foot, the plot will not succeed. Another divination says: When Saturn directly confronts, overshadows, and stays at the Four Imperial Seats, the sovereign will face worries. Gan De says: When Saturn directly confronts, overshadows, and stays at the Four Imperial Seats, the country will suffer the fate of a fallen state. The Four Imperial Seats are located around the Yellow Emperor's Seat, each governing one of the four directions' emperors. Therefore, this celestial phenomenon directly relates to the safety and security of the sovereign's authority.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守屏星，君臣失禮，謀上；一曰大臣有戮死者。”石氏曰：“填星中犯乘守屏星，為君臣失禮，而輔臣有誅者；若免罷去。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn approaches and stays at the 'screen star', it indicates that there is a loss of propriety between the sovereign and ministers, and the ministers plot against the sovereign. Another interpretation is that a high-ranking minister will be executed. The Shi school said: When Saturn directly confronts, overshadows, and stays at the screen star, it indicates that there is a loss of propriety between the sovereign and ministers, and a minister who assists in governance will be executed or dismissed. The screen star represents an obstacle that separates inside and outside, and once this barrier is lost, the distinction between sovereign and minister becomes confused.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守郎位，輔臣有謀，左右宿衛者為亂，王者宜備之。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn approaches and stays at the 'Lang position' stars, the minister assisting in government may have secret plots, and the guards and attendants around the king will soon rebel. The king should be prepared in advance. The Lang position is the official star representing the guards and attendants, arranged around the throne. If this star changes, calamity will arise close at hand.

巫咸曰：“填星犯守郎將者，命曰凌，凌則將有誅，若將憂；一曰大臣為亂，戒慎左右。”《荊州占》曰：“填星中犯乘守即將，必有不還之使。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet of earth invades and stays on the star of the deputy general, this situation is called "ling"; once it becomes ling, it indicates that the general will be executed or suffer misfortune; another interpretation is that ministers will rebel, and the king should be especially cautious and careful about those around him. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the planet of earth directly confronts, invades, and stays on this deputy general star, there will certainly be an envoy sent on a mission who will not return.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守常陳，守衛有謀；近起宮中，天子自出行，誅，期百八十日，遠一年。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn approaches and remains at the star 'Chang Chen', the secret conspiracies of the palace guards will arise. Chaos will originate within the palace, and the emperor will have to personally go out to patrol and eliminate the threat. This will occur within a period of one hundred and eighty days, or possibly up to one year. The seven stars of Chang Chen represent the image of the emperor's guards. Since this star is afflicted, the change will occur among the palace guards.

《玉曆》曰：“填星入犯上臺，司命近臣有罪，若有誅；一曰近臣有逃走者。以五色：黃、白，無咎；青、黑，憂、死喪，期一年。”巫咸曰：“填星犯守下臺，司祿近臣有罪，若出走；色黑者死。”

The *Yu Li* says: When the planet Saturn enters and invades the "Upper Star" of the Three Thrones, the subordinate officials in charge of destiny will be punished, possibly even executed; another account says that some of these officials will flee. The outcome should be judged by the five colors of Saturn: if it appears yellow or white, there will be no calamity; if it appears green or black, there will be misfortune and death, and the event will occur within a year. Wu Xian says: When Saturn invades and stays on the "Lower Star" of the Three Thrones, the subordinate officials in charge of official salaries will be punished or will flee; if Saturn turns black, the person will die.

石氏曰：“填星犯相星，輔臣凶。”

The Shi school says: The planet of earth invades the "ministering star," indicating danger for the prime minister assisting in government. The ministering star is only one, located south of the Big Dipper, and is specifically in charge of the position of assistant. When the earth planet approaches and invades this star, misfortune directly falls upon the current prime minister.

甘氏曰：“填星守犯太陽守，大臣戮死；若有誅，期不出年。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn stops and invades the Star of Brightness and Prestige, it indicates that a minister will be executed or killed, but the predicted time will not occur in the current year. The Star of Brightness and Prestige located near the Big Dipper's handle signifies the duties of ministers and generals in defense. When this star is occupied by Saturn, it relates to the life and death of high-ranking officials.

《海中占》曰：“填星犯天牢，王者以獄為弊；貴人多有擊者。”

The Sea Divination says: When the planet of earth invades the Heavenly Prison star, the king will be troubled by legal matters and thus produce corrupt policies; many noblemen will be arrested and tortured. The Heavenly Prison consists of six stars located beneath the handle of the Big Dipper, which governs the prison for noblemen, so when it is invaded, it specifically indicates imprisonment.

石氏曰：“填星入文昌，天下兵起，其臣不安，若有走主。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入文昌，國安。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of Earth enters the six stars of the Star of Examinations and Documents, there will be military campaigns throughout the country, and ministers and officials will not find peace, or there may be people who abandon the sovereign and flee. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet of Earth enters the Star of Examinations and Documents, the country will be at peace. The Star of Examinations and Documents governs literary governance and the duties of the six ministries. The two divination texts give opposite predictions of good or bad fortune, so one should refer to the brightness or dimness of the star's color and the speed or slowness of its movement to determine the outcome.

郗萌曰：“填星入守北斗中，貴人擊。”

Xi Meng said: The planet of earth enters and stays in the "Big Dipper" section of Qiu, indicating that the nobleman will be arrested and humiliated. The Big Dipper is the chariot of the heavenly emperor, moving in the center and governing the four directions, being the place from which commands are issued. The planet of earth remaining in it for a long time means that those in high positions will be the first to be affected.

巫咸曰：“填星守紫宮，民莫處其室宅，流移亡其鄉。”又占曰：“填星入紫宮，王者益地，一天下有喜；一曰主敬妃后。”又占曰：“填星入紫宮中，若守之，女主用事，誅大臣；期六十日，有赦。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Saturn remains within the Purple Palace, causing the people to be unable to reside in their own homes, wandering and losing their homeland. Another divination says: When Saturn enters the Purple Palace, the king will expand his territory, and all under heaven will rejoice; another interpretation suggests the monarch will particularly honor his concubines. Another divination says: When Saturn enters the Purple Palace or stays within it, it indicates that a female ruler will take power, executing ministers; the period of effect is sixty days, and at that time there will be an amnesty. The Purple Palace is the dwelling place of the heavenly emperor, so when one star enters it, both good and bad omens relate to the supreme ruler.

《甄曜度》：“填星乘守中犯北極主星，有大喪；若犯妃后星，女主有殃；一曰大人當之。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星犯守鉤陳，後宮亂，兵起宮中，倖臣王者憂。”

The Zhen Yaodu says: When the planet of earth is eclipsed, stays, and directly confronts the main star of the Northern Pole, it indicates a great loss. If it invades the star of the concubine or queen, it signifies calamity befalling the female ruler. Another view holds that the disaster should be borne by the sovereign himself. The Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet of earth invades and stays on the Hook Chen, there will be disorder among the concubines and queens, rebellion arises within the palace, favored ministers incite disturbances, and the sovereign becomes anxious.

石氏曰：“填星犯天一，倖臣有謀；有兵起，人主憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth invades the star Tianyi, it indicates that a favored minister is secretly plotting; there will be military actions, causing the ruler to worry. The star Tianyi is located outside the Purple Palace, and it is the divine tablet of the heavenly emperor, governing warfare and knowing human fortune and misfortune. When this star is invaded, it signifies that the favored ministers will cause disturbances and sudden military conflicts will arise.

石氏曰：“填星守太一，倖臣有謀；兵起，人主憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth is stationed on the star of Taiyi, it indicates that a favored minister has other intentions; military affairs arise, and the sovereign becomes anxious. Taiyi and Tianyi are placed side by side outside the Purple Palace, they are the alternative names of the heavenly emperor, governing the sixteen spirits and knowing the weather conditions of rain, wind, water, and drought. When the planet of earth remains stationed upon Taiyi for a long time, the dangers from within the court and the worries of military conflict are both revealed.

郗萌曰：“填星入庫樓，兵出。”又占曰：“填星入天庫，以舉兵，大吉。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Saturn enters the "Kulou" stars, it indicates the mobilization of troops. Another divination says: When Saturn enters "Tianku", to launch an army at this time is highly auspicious. The ten stars of Kulou lie to the south of Jiaoxu, symbolizing war chariots and military stores. Saturn entering this area and predicting good fortune aligns with Saturn's nature of virtue and solidity. When an army is sent out with proper preparation, it will achieve success.

石氏曰：“填星犯守南門，邊兵起；若道路不通。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn invades and stays at the two stars of the Southern Gate, it indicates military actions at the borders or blocked roads. The Southern Gate is located south of Kulu, representing the outer gate of heaven, symbolizing border passes. When this gate is violated, it signifies border alerts and blocked roads.

石氏曰：“填星犯平星，凶。”甘氏曰：“填星犯平星，執政臣憂；若有罪，誅者期一年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth invades the Ping Star, it indicates misfortune. Gan De says: When the planet of earth invades the Ping Star, the senior officials in charge of state affairs will suffer misfortune; or they will be punished and executed, and the time for such an event is one year. The two Ping Stars are located to the north of Kulu, representing officials who administer justice fairly. When this star is invaded, the calamity will fall upon those in power who enforce the law.

甘氏曰：“填星犯守騎官，有兵起，馬多發；若多死。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn invades and remains in the stars of 'Qi Guan', it indicates the outbreak of military affairs and the large conscription of horses; or the massive death of horses. The two十七 stars of Qi Guan are located to the south of Di Xu, symbolizing the imperial cavalry guards. Therefore, the implications of this phenomenon are entirely related to military horses.

石氏曰：“填星入積卒，若守之，兵大起，士卒大行；若多死，期二年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters the 'Accumulated Soldiers' star region, or stays there, it indicates great military calamities, with large-scale troop movements; or many soldiers dying, and this will occur within two years. The 'Accumulated Soldiers' consists of twelve stars located to the south of the Room Mansion, symbolizing the gathering of soldiers. When the earth planet is present there, military conscription and casualties will follow one after another.

《海中占》曰：“填星犯守龜星，天下有水旱之災；守陽，則旱；守陰，則水。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the planet of earth occupies and stays at the star of turtle, there will be drought and flood in the world; if it stays at the southern position of the turtle star, it indicates drought; if it stays at the northern position, it indicates flood. The turtle is an object used for divination to communicate with spirits, and its star is located south of the Tail mansion. Therefore, the prediction of this star falls exactly on the two extremes of water and drought in the heavenly conditions.

石氏曰：“填星犯守傅說，王者宗廟廢五祀，後宮凶；一曰有絕嗣君，期不出二年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth invades and stays at the star of Fu Yue, it indicates the royal ancestral temple will be neglected, the five shrines will not be maintained, and there will be misfortunes in the harem; another interpretation is that there will be a king who loses his descendants, and the fulfillment of this omen will not be beyond two years. Fu Yue was originally a virtuous minister obtained by King Wu Ding of the Yin dynasty. It is said that after his death, he was reborn as a star attached to the Tail mansion. This star governs descendants and worship, so its change should be manifested in the ancestral temple and succession.

石氏曰：“填星犯守魚星，凶。”甘氏曰：“填星守魚星之陽，為人旱，魚行人道；守陰，為大水，魚鹽貴。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth occupies and stays at the position of the fish star, it indicates calamity. Gan De says: When the planet of earth stays at the southern yang position of the fish star, it indicates a great drought on earth, with water drying up so much that fish swim on the roads people walk; when it stays at the northern yin position of the fish star, it indicates a great flood, with the prices of fish and salt rising sharply. The fish star is located after the Tail mansion and in the middle of the Milky Way, representing the image of aquatic creatures, so it specifically governs drought and flood.

《荊州占》曰：“填星入杵星，若守之，天下有急發米之事，不出其年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of Earth enters the star of the pestle, or stays upon it, there will be urgent transfers of grain throughout the country, but this will not be verified in the current year. The pestle and mortar are tools used for pounding grain, and the change of this star indicates the need for urgent movement of stored grain.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星守鱉星，為有白衣之會。”巫咸曰：“填星守鱉星，國有水旱之災；守陽，則旱；守陰，則水。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth stays on the star of tortoise, there will be a gathering of white-clothed people, which means there will be funerals. Wu Xian says: When the planet of earth stays on the star of tortoise, there will be drought and flood in the country. If it stays on the southern side of the star, it indicates drought; if it stays on the northern side, it indicates flood. The star of tortoise is located south of the star of the Dipper, and it belongs to the same category as the star of turtle, both being aquatic creatures of the shell class. Therefore, its divination also covers both drought and flood.

石氏曰：“填星守九坎，天下旱，河水不流，五穀不登，人民大飢；一曰之陽大旱，之陰有水。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn stays at the Nine Pits stars, there will be a great drought across the land, rivers will dry up, crops will be poor, and the people will suffer from severe famine. Another view is that when Saturn moves to the yang position of the Nine Pits, it indicates a great drought, but when it moves to the yin position, it indicates flooding. The Nine Pits are located south of the Ox mansion, symbolizing water storage in ditches and channels. In the Eight Trigrams, Kan represents water. When this star is guarded by Saturn, it signifies the conflict between water and earth, leading to imbalance between drought and flood.

郗萌曰：“填星守敗臼，民不安其室，憂失其釜甑；若流移去其鄉。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Saturn is stationed at the 'Bai Jiu' star, causing the people to be unable to reside in their own homes, worrying about losing cooking utensils such as pots, cauldrons, and steamers. Even more so, people are forced to wander and leave their homeland. The 'jiu' is a tool for pounding rice, and when it is broken, there is no way to prepare food, so this omen points directly to the people's suffering from hunger and forced migration.

郗萌曰：“填星入羽林，為叛臣中兵也。”《海中占》曰：“填星入守羽林，有兵起；若逆行變色，成勾巳，天下大兵，關梁不通，不出其年。”石氏曰：“填星人天軍，以喪兵起。”郗萌曰：“填星犯守天軍，為兵起，有破軍死將。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Saturn enters the "Yu Lin" stars, there will be a traitorous minister causing chaos within the imperial guards. The "Hai Zhong Zhan" said: When Saturn enters and stays in Yu Lin, military affairs will arise; if it retrogrades and changes color, moving in a winding path forming the shape of "Gou Si", then there will be great turmoil with warfare, and roads and bridges will be blocked. This will not be verified in the same year. The Shi school said: When Saturn enters "Tian Jun", it indicates military action arising from mourning. Xi Meng said: When Saturn invades and stays on Tian Jun, it indicates the outbreak of military disaster, with the army collapsing and generals dying. The forty-five stars of Yu Lin are located south of Ying Shi, representing the imperial guards of the Son of Heaven, so any change in these stars must relate to military affairs.

石氏曰：“填星守北落師門，為兵起。”又占曰：“填星與北落師門相貫牴觸，光芒相及，有兵大戰，破軍殺將，伏尸流血，不可當也；期百八十日，若一年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth stays at the position of "Beiluoshimen," it indicates the outbreak of military affairs. Another divination says: When the planet of earth and Beiluoshimen intersect and clash, their lights touch each other, indicating a great battle, the defeat of armies, the death of generals, widespread corpses, and rivers of blood, with a powerful and unstoppable momentum. The predicted time is one hundred and eighty days or one year. Beiluoshimen is the main gate of the heavenly military camp; when this gate is violated, the military omen becomes extremely fierce.

《海中占》曰：“填星守土司空，其國以土起兵；若有土功之事，天下旱。”

The "Sea Divination" says: When the planet Saturn stays at the "Earth Official" star, the country corresponding to that star will have military conflicts over land; or there will be large construction projects, leading to drought across the land. The Earth Official governs territory and construction, and Saturn itself presides over earthworks. Since both are of the same nature, there will be construction activities and drought.

《黃帝占》：“填星入天倉戶中，主財寶出；君憂臣在內；天下有兵，而倉庫之戶俱開；主人勝，客事不成；期二十日中而發。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守天倉，天下飢粟出。”

The Huangdi Zhàn says: When the planet of earth enters the gate of Tiancang, it indicates the outflow of wealth and treasures; the sovereign will be anxious, while ministers will hold power within the court; there will be military conflicts across the land, and the gates of granaries and storehouses will all be opened; the defending side will achieve victory, while the attacking side will fail to accomplish their plans; the event will occur within twenty days. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: When the planet of earth stays over Tiancang, the whole country will suffer from famine, and the granaries will have to be opened to distribute grain. The six stars of Tiancang are located south of Lousu, representing a place for storing grain. When the planet of earth approaches them, it indicates the fluctuation of grain reserves and the inflow and outflow of stored grain.

石氏曰：“填星入天囷，天下兵起，囷倉儲積之物皆發用；一曰御物多有出者，庫倉空；期二年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn enters the Heavenly Granary, there will be military campaigns throughout the land, and all the stored provisions in the granaries will be mobilized and used up. Another interpretation is that many items intended for the imperial court will be dispersed, leaving the treasuries and granaries completely empty. This should occur within two years. The thirteen stars of the Heavenly Granary lie to the south of the Stomach mansion, symbolizing a circular granary, similar to the Heavenly Granary but governing a different aspect, hence this image also indicates the depletion of stored resources.

石氏曰：“填星守天廩，天下大亂。”又占曰：“填星入守天廩，天下有兵，歲大飢，倉粟散；不出其年。”又占曰：“填星犯守天廩，天下亂，粟散，不出年。”

The Shi school said: When the planet Saturn stays at Tian Lin, there will be great chaos throughout the land. Another divination text says: When Saturn enters and stays at Tian Lin, there will be warfare in the land, a great famine, and the grain stored in granaries will be completely distributed away; however, this prophecy did not come true in the same year. Another divination text says: When Saturn invades and stays at Tian Lin, there will be great chaos throughout the land, and the grain will be completely exhausted, and the outcome will be known without waiting for the same year. The four stars of Tian Lin are located south of Mao Xu, and they are in charge of storing grain for defense. Once they are occupied by Saturn for a long time, the stored grain will be lost.

石氏曰：“填星入守天苑，牛羊禽獸多疾疫；若守之二十日，天下兵起，馬多死，其國憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Saturn enters and stays in the mansion of Tian Yuan, cattle, sheep, and wild animals will suffer from many diseases. If it stays for twenty days, there will be military campaigns throughout the land, and many horses will die. The region corresponding to this mansion will be troubled. The mansion of Tian Yuan, consisting of sixteen stars, lies to the south of the mansions of Maosu and BiSu, symbolizing a royal hunting ground for sacrificial animals and cattle. Therefore, when it is afflicted, it particularly affects diseases and deaths among the six domesticated animals.

《海中占》曰：“填星守參旗，兵大起，弓弩用，士將出行；一曰弓矢貴。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the planet Saturn stays on the stars of "Cen Qi," military calamities will arise, bows and arrows will be put into use, and soldiers and generals will go out to campaign. Another interpretation is that the price of bows and arrows will become very high. The nine stars of Cen Qi are located west of Cen Hostel, also called Tian Qi and Tian Gong, which presage the use of bows and arrows. Therefore, any change in these stars will relate to military equipment and warfare.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星入玉井，強國失地，其出之，強國得地。”巫咸曰：“填星入玉井，國有水憂；若以水為敗，水物不成，期不出年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the 'Jade Well,' a powerful state will lose its territory; when the planet of earth leaves the Jade Well, a powerful state will gain territory. Wu Xian says: When the planet of earth enters the Jade Well, there will be worries of water disasters in the country; or failure due to water, with the produce from water not maturing, and the predicted time not occurring in the same year. The four stars of Jade Well are located beneath the left foot of the Three Stars mansion, symbolizing a well for drawing water, so this omen also governs the gain and loss of territory and the success or failure of water-related affairs.

甘氏曰：“填星入屏，諸侯有謀，若大臣有戰死者；一為疫。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn enters the "Screen Star," it indicates that the feudal lords may have secret plots, or that a minister might die in battle. Another interpretation is that an epidemic will occur. The Screen Star here is located to the south of Yu Jing, and although it shares the same name as the Screen Star within the Taiwei constellation, it is in a different position. It symbolizes concealment and obstruction. When Saturn enters this area, it signifies hidden conspiracies and the secret spread of epidemic diseases.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星守天廁，為大臣有戮。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet of Earth remains at the star Tian Ce, it indicates that ministers will be executed. The four stars of Tian Ce are located east of the star Ping, and they are originally places of filth and corruption. The esteemed officials meeting with the lowly stars signify that ministers will suffer disgrace and punishment.

石氏曰：“填星入守軍市，兵大起，將軍出；若以飢兵起。”

The Shi school says: When the planet of earth enters and stays in the 'military market', great military calamities will arise, and generals will go to war; or else, military unrest will be caused by famine. The military market consists of thirteen stars located in the southeast of the Three Stars mansion, which is the place for military trade. If this star changes, the military supplies and grain will be affected.

甘氏曰：“填星入軍市，犯守野雞，其國凶；必有死將，軍營敗，兵士散走。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn enters the Military Market and then invades and stays in the 'Rooster' star, the region corresponding to that star will experience calamity; there will certainly be the death of generals, the collapse of military camps, and soldiers scattering in all directions. The Rooster star is located within the Military Market and represents the poultry kept in the military. This star is inherently associated with portents and omens, so when it is afflicted, the consequences are particularly severe.

石氏曰：“填星守狼星，野獸死。”《荊州占》曰：“填星守犯狼星，大將出行，其國有兵；一曰有死將。”

The Shi school says: The planet of earth stays at the position of the Wolf Star, and many wild animals will die. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet of earth stays and invades the Wolf Star, it indicates a general will lead an expedition, and the territory corresponding to this star will have military conflicts; another interpretation is that a general will die in battle. The Wolf Star is located in the southeast of the Well Mansion, appears white with a sharp angle, and is the general star that presages invasion. Therefore, this omen corresponds to both hunting and warfare.

《荊州占》曰：“填星犯乘守四輔星；君臣失禮，輔臣有誅者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of Earth invades, overshadows, and remains on the 'Four Ministers' stars, it indicates that the relationship between sovereign and ministers has lost proper decorum, and there will be a minister who is executed. The Four Ministers are four stars that flank the Northern Pole Star, symbolizing the great ministers who support the supreme ruler. When these stars are disturbed, the boundary between sovereign and ministers is disrupted.

《荊州占》曰：“填星守酒族，天下大酺，有酒肉財物賜若爵宗室。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the planet Saturn remains stationed at the star "Jiuqi" (originally written as "Jiu Zhu"), the whole world will have a great feast and gathering for drinking. The court will bestow wine, meat, and goods, or grant additional titles to the royal family. The three stars of Jiuqi are located south of the right angle of Xuan Yuan, indicating ceremonies of feasting and drinking. Since Saturn remains stationed there for a long time, this portends a universal celebration and rewards to the royal relatives.

《荊州占》曰：“填星守天高，有大赦。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of earth stays at the star "Tian Gao" (Heavenly Height), the court will issue a great amnesty. The four stars of Tian Gao are located to the north of Bi Xu (Net Mansion), symbolizing palaces and pavilions, which are places where the sovereign ascends to look afar. When the planet of earth stops here, it indicates that the virtue of benevolence and tolerance extends to all the people, thus presaging an amnesty.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星入天潢，兵起；運道不能。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星入天潢，為天下大亂；一曰貴人死。”巫咸曰：“填星出入天潢中，大亂、大旱，民死不葬，改世易主；以所入占四方中央。”郗萌曰：“填星失度，留潢中，為人主以水為害，若以井為害，以入日占其國。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星中犯乘守天潢，期二十日，兵起。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the Heavenly River, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts; the waterways for transporting grain will be blocked. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When the planet of earth enters the Heavenly River, it signifies great chaos throughout the land; another interpretation is the death of a nobleman. Wu Xian says: When the planet of earth moves in and out within the Heavenly River, it portends great disorder and severe drought, with people dying and being left unburied, and a change of dynasty, with the ruler changing his surname. As to where this occurs, it should be determined according to the direction in which it enters, dividing the east, west, south, north, and center. Xi Meng says: When the planet of earth deviates from its normal course and remains stagnant within the Heavenly River, it indicates the ruler suffering harm from water or from a well, and the specific country affected should be determined according to the day it enters. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth directly confronts, overshadows, and remains fixed upon the Heavenly River, the predicted time is twenty days, and at that time, military uprisings will occur. The five stars of the Heavenly River are located within the Five Carriages, symbolizing a ferry crossing, so changes in this star are associated with both water-related events and the transportation of grain by water.

甘氏曰：“填星入咸池，有兵喪，天子且以火為敗，失忠臣，若旱；一曰大水，道不通，貴人死；以入日占國。”郗萌曰：“填星入咸池，女子為亂若迷惑人主者。”

Gan De said: When the planet Saturn enters Xianchi, there will be military conflicts and funerals, the Son of Heaven will suffer defeat due to fire, lose loyal ministers, or face drought; another interpretation is a great flood, roads blocked, and the death of a nobleman; to determine which country is affected, one should calculate according to the day Saturn enters. Xi Meng said: When Saturn enters Xianchi, there will be female disorder or the seduction of the ruler by beauty. The three stars of Xianchi are located in the Five Carriage constellation, and it is traditionally said to be the place where the sun sets and bathes, belonging to water and close to drowning, so its divination often involves female calamities and disasters of fire and water.

郗萌曰：“填星當天街，為諸侯自立為王；一曰大水。”石氏曰：“填星犯天街，徘徊亂行，主弱臣強，道路隔，令不行，不出其年，有兵。”又占曰：“填星留止，若逆行天街中者，皆為兵革起。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Saturn is positioned at the "Heavenly Street," indicating that the feudal lords will establish themselves as kings; another interpretation is a great flood. The Shi school said: When Saturn invades the Heavenly Street, it moves back and forth, its path is confused, indicating the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, communication is cut off, and orders cannot be implemented; this will result in military conflict within the year. Another divination says: If Saturn remains stationary or moves backward within the Heavenly Street, it foretells the outbreak of warfare. The two stars of the Heavenly Street are located between the mansion of Hairy Head and the mansion of Net, serving as the main route for communication between the Central Plains and the four barbarian regions. When this route is disrupted, the order within and outside will be ruined.

《荊州占》曰：“填星犯鈇鑕五日以上，臣有謀者。”郗萌曰：“填星乘守鈇鑕，為鈇鑕用；一曰將有憂。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of Earth invades the star of "Fuzhi" for more than five days, it indicates that there will be someone among the ministers who conspire against the ruler. Xi Meng says: When the planet of Earth is overshadowing and remains on the star of Fuzhi, it signifies that instruments of punishment such as铡刀 and砧板 will be used; another interpretation is that the general will face troubles. Fuzhi is originally a tool used for beheading, and its star is located near the celestial market. When the planet of Earth approaches it, it indicates that punitive measures will be carried out.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星入芻藁中，主財寶出，憂巨在內。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the region of 'chú gǎo', it indicates the outflow of wealth and treasures, and great troubles are hidden within the court. The six stars of chú gǎo are located west of Tian Yuan, which is the place for storing livestock feed, representing the country's resources for raising animals. Since the planet of earth occupies this area, it signifies the dispersal of resources and internal troubles.

郗萌曰：“填星入軍井三日以上，其歲大水，國多土功。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Saturn enters the "military well" for more than three days, there will be a great flood in that year, and there will be much construction activity in the country. The four stars of the military well are located to the south of the Jade Well, representing a well used by the military for drawing water. A well is naturally associated with water, while Saturn governs earthworks. The combination of these two factors leads to the simultaneous occurrence of flood disasters and construction projects.

郗萌曰：“填星守水府，天下洪水。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Saturn is stationed on the star of the Water Palace, and floods will occur throughout the land. The four stars of the Water Palace are located west of the Well Mansion, representing the offices in charge of dikes, canals, and ferry crossings. When Saturn remains stationed upon them, the officials of water affairs will lose their duties, and flooding will follow as a result.

《黃帝占》曰：“填星入天廟，若守，為廟人事；一曰為凶憂。”《荊州占》曰：“填星入天廟，若守，有廟殘之事，不去則死。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the 'Heavenly Temple' or stays above it, there will be troubles involving officials who serve in the ancestral temple; another interpretation suggests there will be danger and worries. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the planet of earth enters the Heavenly Temple or stays above it, there will be damage to the ancestral temple. If the planet remains for a long time, it indicates someone's death. The Heavenly Temple consists of fourteen stars located to the south of Zhang Xu, which is the hall where the Son of Heaven worships his ancestors. The planet of earth governs earth works and rituals, so when this star is disturbed, it indicates the disruption of sacrificial rites.

《荊州占》曰：“填星守入土司空，有土徭之事。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet of Earth stays and enters the star "Tusu Kong," there will be conscription of the people for construction projects. Tusu Kong is the official in charge of earth, and the planet of Earth is the essence of earth. When these two meet, the event of breaking ground and laboring naturally comes to pass.

郗萌曰：“填星犯守鍵閉星，大臣有誤天子不尊事天者；天子不宜出宮下殿，有匿兵於宗廟中者。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：魏齊王正始九年七月癸丑，填星犯鍵閉，明年年駕謁陵司馬懿奏誅曹輿等，天子野宿，是其失勢之驗也。）

Xi Meng said: The planet Saturn invaded and remained at the star 'Jian Bi', indicating that ministers would cause the state to suffer misfortune, leading the Son of Heaven to be unable to reverently serve Heaven. At this time, the Son of Heaven should not go out of the palace or descend from the throne, because someone had hidden weapons and armor within the ancestral temple. (Original note: According to the 'Astronomical Records' in the 'Book of the Later Han', in the ninth year of Zhengshi during the reign of Wei Zhi Wang Cao Fang, on the癸丑 day of July, Saturn invaded Jian Bi; the next year, the Son of Heaven's carriage left the city to pay homage at the mausoleum, and Sima Yi submitted a memorial requesting the execution of Cao Yu (i.e., Cao Shuang) and others. The Son of Heaven was forced to sleep in the open fields, which was exactly the fulfillment of the Son of Heaven losing power.) The star Jian Bi is located in the northeast of Fang Xu, symbolizing the door latch and key, governing palace gates and locks. When this star is invaded, calamity arises from the failure to properly guard the palace gates.

《荊州占》曰：“填星填星守天淵，海水出，江海決溢；若海魚出。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet of Earth (Tu Xing) remains at the position of "Heavenly Depth" (Tian Yuan), causing seawater to surge upwards, rivers and seas to break their banks and flood; or deep-sea fish to rise to the surface. The ten stars of Heavenly Depth are located to the southeast of the tortoise star, symbolizing a deep reservoir for irrigation and storage of water. When the planet of Earth stays here, water first becomes blocked and then breaks out.

《荊州占》曰：“填星犯鈇鑕，誅諸侯。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星入鈇鑕，為大臣誅。”《荊州占》曰：“填星犯守鈇鑕，兵起。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet of earth invades "Fuzhi," it indicates the execution of feudal lords. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When the planet of earth enters Fuzhi, it indicates the execution of ministers. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the planet of earth invades and stays on Fuzhi, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts. Previously, the Gan school's outer officials had already listed Fuzhi, but here the Wu Xian school establishes another entry, both predicting punishment, but the targets of execution shift from generals to feudal lords and ministers.

《荊州占》曰：“填星入天廄十日以上，廄馬有食變。”《黃帝占》曰：“填星守天廄，為有災事，天子以馬為憂；不即馬疾。”

The book Jingzhou Zhan says: When the planet of earth enters the constellation Tianjiu for more than ten days, there will be disturbances in the fodder and food of the horses in the stable. The book Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet of earth stays over the constellation Tianjiu, it indicates there will be calamities, and the emperor will worry about horse-related matters; otherwise, horses will fall ill. The ten stars of Tianjiu are located to the north of Ge dao, which is the place where the emperor keeps his horses. Therefore, changes in this constellation specifically relate to matters concerning stables and livestock.

石氏曰：“太白者，大而能白，故曰太白。一曰殷星；一曰大正；一曰營星；一曰明星；一曰觀星；一曰太衣；一曰大威；一曰太皞；一曰終星；一曰大相；一曰大囂；一曰爽星；一曰大皓；一曰序星。上公神出東方，為明星。”

The Shi school says: The star Tai Bai has a large form and a white color, so it is called Tai Bai (which is today's Venus). It has many other names: Yin Star, Da Zheng, Ying Star, Ming Star, Guan Star, Tai Yi, Da Wei, Tai Hao, Zhong Star, Da Xiang, Da Xiao, Shuang Star, Da Hao, Xu Star. It is the spirit of the supreme official. When it appears in the eastern sky, people call it the 'Ming Star'.

《荊州占》曰：“出東方，為啟明。”郭璞曰：“太白晨見東方，為啟明。”《爾雅》曰：“明星，謂之啟明。”《詩》曰：“東有啟明，西有長庚。”鄭玄曰：“日既入，謂明星為長庚。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東北，為觀星；出東方若東南，為明星；出西方，為太白也。”吳龔《天官星占》曰：“太一位在西方，白帝之子，大將之象，一名天相；一名大臣；一名太皓。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When it appears in the east, it is called "Qiming." Guo Pu explains: When the bright star appears in the east in the morning, it is called Qiming. The *Erya* says: The bright star is called Qiming. The *Book of Songs, Xiao Ya, Da Dong* says: In the east there is Qiming, in the west there is Changgeng. Zheng Xuan explains: After the sun sets, this bright star is called "Changgeng." The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When the bright star appears in the northeast, it is called Guanxing; when it appears in the east or southeast, it is called Mingxing; only when it appears in the west is it called Taibai. Wu Gong's *Tian Gao Star Divination* says: Taibai (originally written as "Taiyi") is located in the west, it is the son of the White Emperor, symbolizing a great general, also known as Tianxiang, a great minister, and Taihao.

石氏曰：“太白主秋，主西維，主金，主兵；於日庚辛；主殺，殺失者，罰出太白；太白之失行，是失秋政者也；以其舍命國。”甘氏曰：“太白主大將，主秦鄭。”巫咸曰：“太白主兵革誅伐，正刑法。”《五行傳》曰：“太白者，西方金精也。於五常為義，舉動得宜；於五事為言，號令民從；義虧言失，逆秋令，則太白為變動、為兵、為殺。”班固《天文志》曰：“逆秋令、傷金氣，罰見太白。”

The Shi school says: Tai Bai governs autumn, the west, the metal element of the Five Phases, and military affairs; it corresponds to the heavenly stems Geng and Xin. It represents killing and punishment; whenever killing and punishment are improper, heavenly punishment will be shown through Tai Bai. If Tai Bai moves out of its normal course, it indicates a failure in autumn governance. As for which country will suffer disaster, it depends on which star it stops at. Gan De says: Tai Bai governs generals, and corresponds to the regions of the state of Qin and Zheng. Wu Xian says: Tai Bai governs weapons and punishment, and oversees the correction of laws. The "Transmission of the Five Phases" says: Tai Bai is the essence of the golden qi of the west. In the five constants, it corresponds to "righteousness"; when actions are appropriate, it is righteousness. In the five affairs, it corresponds to "speech"; when orders are issued and the people obey, speech is correct. Once righteousness is lost or speech is improper, violating the season of autumn, Tai Bai will change, indicating war and killing. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of the Heavenly Phenomena" says: violating the autumn season and harming the golden qi, heavenly punishment will be shown through Tai Bai.

石氏曰：“太白司兵喪姦凶，不禁不祥，或出東方，或出西方。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東方，色黃而明，旱；黃而不明，此常色也。太白出西方，其高而色正白，旱；若色青白，此其正色也；即變其常，以五色占。”

The Shi school says: Tai Bai governs military affairs, funerals, and omens of wickedness and evil. Any ominous signs that cannot be restrained are under its jurisdiction. Tai Bai sometimes appears in the east and sometimes in the west. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Tai Bai appears in the east, with a yellow color and bright, it indicates drought; if it is yellow but not very bright, this is its usual color, and there is no need to take it as an omen. If Tai Bai appears in the west, high in position and pure white in color, it indicates drought; if it appears bluish-white, this is its proper color; once its color changes from the normal, it should be interpreted according to the five colors: green, red, yellow, white, and black.

《洪範傳》曰：“太白以上元甲子歲，十一月甲子朔旦冬至夜半甲子時，與日月五星俱起於牛前五度，順行二十八宿，右遊一歲而周天。”（案曆法，太白一終，凡五百八十三日一千三百四十分日之一千二百二十九奇，九星行過一周天，二百一十八度一千二百一十九奇，是二百六十七年而百六十七終也，星平行日行，一度一周天也。）

The *Hongfan Chuan* says: On the year of Jiazi in the Upper Yuan period, on the morning of the eleventh month's Jiazi day, the new moon appeared, coinciding with the winter solstice, and at midnight the time of Jiazi also occurred. At that time, the star Tai Bai (Venus) rose together with the sun, moon, and the other five stars, located five degrees before the constellation Niu Xiu (Ox Mansion). It then proceeded in order through the twenty-eight constellations, moving rightward around the sky for one year to complete a full circuit. (Original book note: According to the calendar calculation, Tai Bai's cycle lasts 583 days and 1340/1229 of a day; when this star completes a full circle around the sky, it covers 218 degrees and 1219/1000 of a degree. According to this calculation, 267 years would exactly complete 167 cycles. The star moves at an average speed, advancing one degree per day, and when the total accumulates, it completes a full circle around the sky.)

石氏曰：“太白出東方，高三舍，命曰明星柔；上又高三舍，命曰大囂剛。其出東方也，行星九舍，為百二十三日而反；反又百二十日，行星九舍，入；又伏行百二十三日，行星十二舍，昏出西方也，高三舍，命曰太白柔；上又三舍，命曰大囂剛。其出西方也，行星九舍，為百二十三日而反；反又百二十日，行星九舍而入；入又伏行星二舍，為日十五日，晨東方，出營室，入角；出角入畢；出畢，入箕；出箕，入柳；出柳，入營室。其出西方也，出營室，入角；盡如出東方之數。”

The Shi school says: When Tai Bai appears in the east, it rises three mansions, a state called "bright star soft"; then rising another three mansions, it is called "great clamor hard." When Tai Bai appears in the east, it travels through nine mansions, taking 123 days to return; after returning, it travels another 120 days, passing through nine mansions and disappearing. Afterward, it remains hidden for 123 days, traveling through twelve mansions, and appears in the west at dusk, rising three mansions, called "Tai Bai soft"; then rising another three mansions, called "great clamor hard." When Tai Bai appears in the west, it travels through nine mansions, taking 123 days to return; after returning, it travels another 120 days, passing through nine mansions and disappearing; after disappearing, it remains hidden for two mansions, taking 15 days, and appears in the east at dawn. The sequence of its appearance and disappearance is: from Ying Shi to Jiao mansion, then from Jiao mansion to Bi mansion, then from Bi mansion to Ji mansion, then from Ji mansion to Liu mansion, then from Liu mansion back to Ying Shi. When Tai Bai appears in the west, it follows the same sequence as when it appears in the east, with the same number of days.

甘氏曰：“太白以攝提格之歲；正月與營室晨出於東方亢、氏；出東方為日八歲二百二十二日，而復與營室晨出於東方。太白之居左也，其恆二百三十日；其遲也，二百四十日。其居右也，順行二百四十日：其速二百三十日，從左過右也；其又百三十日、其速九十日而見，從右過左也；其又三十日、其速十日而見，從右適左；其又三十日、其速十日而見。”

Gan De said: Tai Bai appears in the year of She Ti Ge (寅), in the first lunar month, together with the mansion of Ying Shi in the eastern sky at dawn, in the area of the mansion of Kangle and Dishi. From the day it appears in the east, after eight years and 222 days, it will again appear together with Ying Shi at dawn in the east. When Tai Bai is on the left side, the usual period is 230 days; when it moves slowly, it is 240 days. When it is on the right side and moves in the usual direction, it is 240 days; when it moves quickly, it is 230 days, which is from the left to the right. Then after 130 days, 90 days when moving quickly, it reappears, which is from the right to the left. Then after 30 days, 10 days when moving quickly, it reappears, which is from the right to the left again; then after another 30 days, 10 days when moving quickly, it reappears once more.

《荊州占》曰：“太白凡見東方二百三十日，而伏不見四十六日，名少罰。太白與歲星為雄、雌；出於東方、四方高三舍，為太白柔；又高三舍，為太白剛；用兵象也。剛則入地深，吉；淺，凶；柔則入地淺、吉；深、凶。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai appears in the east for a total of two hundred and thirty days, then disappears for forty-six days, this situation is called "Shao Fa." Tai Bai and the planet of the year (Sui Xing) are considered to be male and female, one strong and one gentle, matching each other. When Tai Bai appears in the east or in the four directions and rises three mansions, it is called "Tai Bai is gentle"; when it rises another three mansions, it is called "Tai Bai is strong": these are symbolic representations used in military strategy. When encountering the strong phase, advancing deeply into enemy territory is auspicious, while advancing superficially is inauspicious; when encountering the gentle phase, advancing superficially is auspicious, while advancing deeply is inauspicious.

石氏曰：“太白出百二十日乃極，乃極，退也，未滿此日便至極，疾也。東方以辰巳為極；西方以申未為極。太白出以辰戌，入以丑未，出入必以風；太白當期而出，其國昌。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出入如度，天下昌。”

The Shi school says: After the appearance of Tai Bai, it takes 120 days to reach its extreme position, and once it reaches the extreme, it begins to retreat. If it reaches the extreme before the 120 days are up, it is considered to be moving too quickly. In the east, the extreme position is at Chen and Si; in the west, it is at Shen and Wei. Tai Bai usually appears on Chen and Xu days and disappears on Chou and Wei days. When it appears or disappears, there must be wind. Tai Bai appearing on schedule indicates that the country under its jurisdiction will flourish. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The appearance and disappearance of Tai Bai follow the regular pattern, and the whole world will flourish.

石氏曰：“太白出則出兵，入則入兵，戰則有勝；用兵象太白，吉；反之，凶。”《荊州占》曰：“太白已入而未出，先起兵者，國破亡，禍及一世。”

The Shi school says: When Tai Bai appears, it is time to go to war; when Tai Bai disappears, it is time to withdraw troops, thus ensuring victory in battle. Using military actions in accordance with the movements of Tai Bai is considered auspicious; acting contrary to this is considered inauspicious. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: During the period when Tai Bai has already disappeared but has not yet reappeared, whoever initiates the attack first will see their country fall and perish, and the calamity will extend to one generation.

石氏曰：“太白兵象也，行疾，用兵疾，吉；遲，凶。行遲，用兵遲，吉；疾，凶。太白行疾，前用兵者善；行遲，後用兵者善；太白所居久，其鄉利；所居易，其鄉凶。太白出高，用兵，深吉淺凶；出卑，淺吉深凶。”

The Shi school says: Tai Bai represents military affairs. When Tai Bai moves quickly, military action should also be swift, which is auspicious; if it moves slowly, military action should also be slow, which is auspicious. When Tai Bai moves slowly, military action should also be slow, which is auspicious; if it moves quickly, it is inauspicious. If Tai Bai moves quickly, the side that initiates military action first gains the advantage; if it moves slowly, the side that acts later gains the advantage. If Tai Bai lingers long in a particular region, that region benefits; if it stays briefly and moves away easily, that region suffers misfortune. If Tai Bai appears in a high position, deep military advances are auspicious while shallow advances are inauspicious; if it appears in a low position, shallow advances are auspicious while deep advances are inauspicious.

《荊州占》曰：“太白之出西方也，在酉南、則為楚；在酉北，則為秦、齊、燕。”石氏曰：“太白出西方，出酉，秦勝楚；出申，楚勝秦。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出入西方，其國伐；宋勝韓，韓勝趙，趙勝魏。”石氏曰：“太白伏，外有軍，則罷；將起兵，則止；國勿攻戰。太白進退，主候兵。”《荊州占》曰：“太白所抵之國，凶。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai appears in the west, located south of You, it indicates the state of Chu; if it is located north of You, it indicates the states of Qin, Qi, and Yan. The Shi school says: When Tai Bai appears in the west, emerging from You, Qin will defeat Chu; emerging from Shen, Chu will defeat Qin. Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai appears and disappears in the west, the corresponding state will be attacked; according to the situation of mutual warfare among the states at that time, Song will defeat Han, Han will defeat Zhao, and Zhao will defeat Wei. The Shi school says: When Tai Bai is hidden, if there are already troops stationed outside, they should be withdrawn; if a country is about to take military action, it should stop; no country should engage in warfare. The movement of Tai Bai is the basis for observing military opportunities. Zhongjiao Zhan says: The country that is confronted by the light of Tai Bai will suffer misfortune.

石氏曰：“太白不見，不宜出軍；若有客來挑，軍可應；先動，破軍殺將，必有積尸。太白出所直之辰，從其色而角，勝；其色害者，敗。太白所直之辰，其直之者，國為得位，得位者，戰勝。太白出東方也，為德，舉事，左之近之，吉；右之背之，凶。太白出西方也，為刑，舉事，右之背之，吉；左之近之，凶。太白入東方，未出西方，其六十五日為陽；其六十五日為陰；以此時出兵，雖勝有殃，得地必復歸之；陽為中國，陰為負海國。”

The Shi school says: When the star Tai Bai is not visible, it is not advisable to launch an army; if the enemy comes to challenge, one may respond; but if one attacks first, the army will collapse and the general will be killed, and there will certainly be a mountain of corpses. When Tai Bai appears in the hour and direction it is associated with, and its color is harmonious with that direction and it has apointed rays (a芒角 is a芒角, which refers to a bright or sharp appearance), it indicates victory; if its color is in mutual control or harmful to that direction, it indicates defeat. The country that corresponds to the hour and direction of Tai Bai is called "getting the position" (得位), and the side that gets the position will surely win in battle. When Tai Bai appears in the east, it is associated with virtue; if one undertakes an action and approaches it from the left, it is auspicious; if one moves away from it to the right, it is inauspicious. When Tai Bai appears in the west, it is associated with punishment; if one undertakes an action and moves away from it to the right, it is auspicious; if one approaches it from the left, it is inauspicious. During the time when Tai Bai is hidden in the east and has not yet appeared in the west, the first sixty-five days are yang, and the following sixty-five days are yin; if one launches an army during this period, even if one wins, there will be calamity, and the land captured will inevitably be returned. The yang period is associated with the central plains countries, and the yin period is associated with the coastal countries.

巫咸曰：“太白受制，則修城郭，繕藩垣、審群禁，節兵甲，敬百官，誅不法。太白入西方，未出東方，其十五日為陽；其十五日為陰；名曰行天命。以此時出兵，其國亡。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出西方，常出申酉之間，失行而北走，是謂反坐；有破軍，有屠城，在北方。”

Wu Xian said: When Tai Bai is restrained, one should repair the outer walls of the city, mend the fences and barriers, examine the various prohibitions, control the use of military forces, respect all officials, and punish those who break the law. When Tai Bai appears in the west and has not yet emerged from the east, the first fifteen days are considered yang, and the latter fifteen days are considered yin, which is called "performing the mandate of heaven." If an army is mobilized during this time, the country will surely perish. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: Tai Bai appears in the west, and should normally appear between Shen and You. If it departs from its usual path and moves northward, this is called "reverse sitting"; it indicates the defeat of the army and the destruction of a city, which will occur in the north.

《天官書》曰：“太白出卯南，南方勝北方；出卯北，北方勝南方；正在卯，東國勝；出酉北，北方勝南方；出酉南，南方勝北方；正在酉，西國勝。”《荊州占》曰：“太白遠日為兵深，其將強；近日為兵淺，其將弱。太白伏也，出兵有殃。”《魏武帝兵法》曰：“太白巳出高，賊深入人境，可擊，必勝；去勿追，雖見其利，必有後害。”

The Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Celestial Officials says: When the planet Tai Bai appears to the south of the Mao position, the southern side prevails over the northern; when it appears to the north of the Mao position, the northern side prevails over the southern; when it is exactly at the Mao position, the eastern country prevails. When Tai Bai appears to the north of the You position, the northern side prevails over the southern; when it appears to the south of the You position, the southern side prevails over the northern; when it is exactly at the You position, the western country prevails. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When Tai Bai is far from the Star of Brightness and Prestige, it indicates that military campaigns will be deep and the generals will be strong; when it is close to the Star of Brightness and Prestige, it indicates that military campaigns will be shallow and the generals will be weak. When Tai Bai emerges after being hidden, military action will bring calamity. The Military Methods of the Emperor Wu of Wei says: When Tai Bai has already appeared and is at a high position, the enemy will invade deep into our territory, and we can attack, surely achieving victory; if the enemy retreats, we should not pursue, even though we can see immediate advantage, there will be future misfortune.

《荊州占》曰：“太白以仲冬出東方，若西方，以伐利。太白始出東南維，在日月之陽，陽國之將傷，在其陰利；始出東北維，在日月之陰，陰國凶；在陽吉。出西南維，在日月之陽，陽國凶；在其陰吉。出西北維，在日月之陰，陰國之將傷，在其陽利。”又曰：“出日北維，匈奴有兵相攻。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star appears in the east or west during the second month of winter, it is advantageous to launch military campaigns. If the bright star first appears in the southeast direction, and is located in the yang position relative to the sun and moon, then the generals of the yang region will be injured; if it is located in the yin position, it is beneficial. If the bright star first appears in the northeast direction, and is located in the yin position relative to the sun and moon, then the yin region will suffer misfortune; if it is located in the yang position, it is auspicious. If the bright star first appears in the southwest direction, and is located in the yang position relative to the sun and moon, then the yang region will suffer misfortune; if it is located in the yin position, it is beneficial. If the bright star first appears in the northwest direction, and is located in the yin position relative to the sun and moon, then the generals of the yin region will be injured; if it is located in the yang position, it is advantageous. It also says: If the bright star appears in the northern direction of the sun, there will be internal military conflicts among the Xiongnu.

《荊州占》曰：“太白出西方，上行不至未而反，陰國強，陽國敗，戰不勝。太白出，見西方，上至未，將橫行，大強；備四方。又曰：出西方，上至未，有霸；一曰陰國霸。太白出西方，上不得過申，至之地，大臣有憂；一曰將奪君位。南至未丁之地，大將有憂，群臣獄；人主治獄。

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Tai Bai appears in the west and moves upward but has not yet reached the position of Wei before turning back, it indicates that the country of the Yin direction will be strong, while the country of the Yang direction will suffer defeat; in a battle, they will not be able to win. When Tai Bai appears in the west and moves upward to reach the position of Wei, there will be a person who will dominate the world and have great power; all directions should be on high alert. It also says: when Tai Bai comes from the west and moves upward to reach the position of Wei, a country will become dominant; another view suggests that the country of the Yin direction will dominate. When Tai Bai appears in the west and moves upward without crossing the position of Shen, wherever it reaches, the territories will have ministers in trouble; another view suggests that generals will attempt to seize the throne. If it moves southward to the position between Wei and Ding, there will be trouble for the generals, ministers will be imprisoned, and the king will personally handle the cases.

太白始出東方，西方之國不可以舉兵。始出西方，東方之國不可以舉兵，破軍殺將，其國大破敗。辰星不出，太白獨出東方，有德令；獨出西方，正在酉，西方兵起，不戰；獨出戌，敵兵起，不戰。

When the planet Tai Bai appears in the east, the western country should not wage war. When it appears in the west, the eastern country should not wage war, otherwise the army will disintegrate and the general will be killed, resulting in the country suffering a great defeat. If the planet Chen Xing (water star) does not appear, and only Tai Bai appears in the east, it indicates that the court will issue benevolent and virtuous edicts. If Tai Bai appears alone in the west at the position of You, there will be military affairs in the west, but no actual battle will take place. If Tai Bai appears alone at the position of Xu, the enemy will raise an army, but there will be no actual battle.

太白入東方，未出西方，西方北方以舉兵，身死國亡。太白入西方，未出東方，東方南方以舉兵，身死國亡。太白入西方，未東方，東方南方以舉兵，雖勝，得地復歸之，主不血食，殃及三世，將死。

When the bright star Tai Bai is hidden in the east and has not yet appeared in the west, countries in the west and north will launch military campaigns at this time, resulting in the death of the commander and the destruction of the state. When the bright star Tai Bai is hidden in the west and has not yet appeared in the east, countries in the east and south will launch military campaigns at this time, leading to the same outcomes of death of the commander and destruction of the state. When the bright star Tai Bai is hidden in the west and has not yet appeared in the east, countries in the east and south will launch military campaigns at this time, even if they win, the land they conquer will have to be returned, the ancestral temple of the ruler will be abandoned, calamity will extend to three generations, and the generals will die.

凡出軍在外，必視太白；太白西，與之西；東，與之東；短，與之短；長，與之長；陰，與之陰；陽，與之陽；翕，與之翕；張，與之張；善馴其道，以戰大勝；當前戰者，軍破將死。太白在陽，陽國利，其以陽時，出於陽重利，在行不失，中國勝。太白在陰，陽國利，其以閒時，出於陰重利。”

Whenever an army goes out to campaign, it must observe the position of Tai Bai. If Tai Bai is偏向 the west, the army should follow it westward; if it is偏向 the east, the army should follow it eastward. If its芒 is short, the journey will be short; if its芒 is long, the journey will be long. If Tai Bai is in a yin position, the army should take the yin path; if it is in a yang position, the army should take the yang path. If Tai Bai is gathering, the army should contract its forces; if it is spreading out, the army should expand its forces. Those who skillfully follow the movement of Tai Bai will achieve great victories in battle. However, if the army directly confronts Tai Bai in battle, the army will be destroyed and the general will die. If Tai Bai is in a yang position, the country in the yang direction will be favorable. If it coincides with a yang season and appears in a yang position, it will be even more favorable. As long as the army does not deviate from the normal path, the central state will surely win. If Tai Bai is in a yin position, the country in the yang direction will still be favorable. If it coincides with a quiet time and appears in a yin position, it will also be even more favorable.

《荊州占》曰：“太白之相也，從季夏至夏盡，及四季王時，其色黃白，精明無芒。太白之王也，從立秋至秋之盡，其色比狼星而光明；仲秋之時，有芒角。太白之休也，從立冬以至冬之盡，其色不精，明而無光。太白之囚也，從立春以至春之盡，其色青黃，而無光明。太白之死也，從立夏以至夏之盡，其色赤黑，細小而不明。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai is in the "phase of being in charge" (王), it is from the sixth month of the late summer until the end of summer, and during the months when the earth element is dominant, at which time its color is yellow-white, its light pure and bright without any芒. When Tai Bai is in the "phase of ruling" (王), it is from the beginning of autumn until the end of autumn, at which time its color is as bright as the star of the wolf, and especially luminous; by the middle of autumn in the eighth month, it will develop芒. When Tai Bai is in the "phase of rest" (休), it is from the beginning of winter until the end of winter, at which time its color is no longer pure, appearing bright but lacking luster. When Tai Bai is in the "phase of captivity" (囚), it is from the beginning of spring until the end of spring, at which time its color is greenish-yellow and lacks brightness. When Tai Bai is in the "phase of death" (死), it is from the beginning of summer until the end of summer, at which time its color is reddish-black, and the star is small and dim.

甘氏曰：“當其相也而有王色，主弱將強；有休色，將不兵；有囚色，將誅，不成；有死色，將誅傷；所留之舍，其國兵，其進舍也，是趣兵；其退舍也，兵出不成。當其王也，而有相色，主弱；將權勢縱橫天下，有謀專行君事；有囚色，所囚者有罷徒之令；有死色，大將死，不葬；所留之舍，其國兵起；其進舍也，其下之國，兵歸之；其退舍也，兵弱不用。

Gan De said: When Tai Bai is in the position of 'Xiang' but shows the color of 'Wang', it indicates the ruler is weak but will become strong; when it shows the color of 'Xiu', it suggests the general will not hold military authority; when it shows the color of 'Qiu', it indicates the general will be executed but the matter will not be completed; when it shows the color of 'Si', it means the general will be killed and his body will not be properly buried. If Tai Bai stays in a particular mansion, the corresponding country in the system of the twenty-eight mansions will have military actions; if it moves forward, it signifies the hastening of military deployment; if it retreats, the military action will be launched but will not succeed. When Tai Bai is in the position of 'Wang' but shows the color of 'Xiang', it indicates the ruler is weak, and the general's authority will extend across the land, with intentions of rebellion and usurping the ruler's power; when it shows the color of 'Qiu', it suggests that those who are imprisoned will be pardoned; when it shows the color of 'Si', it means a great general will die in battle and his body will not be properly buried. If Tai Bai stays in a particular mansion, the corresponding country in the system of the twenty-eight mansions will mobilize troops; if it moves forward, the country under its influence will have troops coming to join; if it retreats, the military strength will be exhausted and of no use.

當其休也，而有王色，野多賊兵；有相色，野多兵；入人民，亂未央；有囚色，攻牢墓，囚人勢橫；有死色，從軍死，不葬；其所守之舍，有逐將，死王；其進舍也，武吏縱橫，文吏為虎狼，天下大赦。當其囚也，而有王色，大將反成；有相色。下犯其上；有休色，野多暴兵，盜賊並起；有死色，妖言多，不祥；所留之舍，不可舉事用兵；其進舍也，歲多雹霜，萬物不成；其退舍也，秋冬無霜雪。當其死也，而有王色，流水湯湯；有相色，野火煌煌；有休色，金幣不行；有囚色，國多虎狼；其留守也，野獸食人；其進舍也，白刃鏘鏘；其退舍也，兵不成行。”

When the planet Tai Bai is in the state of 'Xiu' but shows the color of 'Wang', it indicates there will be many bandits and soldiers in the outskirts; if it shows the color of 'Xiang', there will be many soldiers in the outskirts, and military disasters will affect the common people, with chaos never ending; if it shows the color of 'Qiu', there will be people robbing prisons and grave robbers, with prisoners acting recklessly; if it shows the color 'Si', it indicates soldiers will die in battle and their bodies will not be buried. If Tai Bai stays in a certain star, there will be generals being expelled and the king dying. If Tai Bai moves forward, it indicates military officials acting without restraint, and civil officials becoming as fierce as tigers and wolves, followed by a great amnesty. When Tai Bai is in the state of 'Qiu' but shows the color of 'Wang', it indicates a major general will rebel; if it shows the color of 'Xiang', it indicates lower ranks will offend higher ranks; if it shows the color of 'Xiu', there will be many brutal soldiers in the outskirts, and bandits will rise up together; if it shows the color of 'Si', it indicates evil words spreading everywhere, a bad omen. If Tai Bai stays in a certain star, there will be no suitable time for major undertakings or military actions there; if it moves forward, there will be more hail and frost in the year, and all things will not mature; if it retreats, there will be no frost or snow in autumn and winter. When Tai Bai is in the state of 'Si' but shows the color of 'Wang', it indicates great floods will flow; if it shows the color of 'Xiang', there will be wild fires spreading; if it shows the color of 'Xiu', there will be no circulation of gold, jade, and currency; if it shows the color of 'Qiu', there will be many tigers and wolves causing trouble in the country. If Tai Bai stays in place, wild animals will injure and eat people; if it moves forward, there will be sword fights and loud cries of battle; if it retreats, the army will be disorganized and unable to form ranks.

《荊州占》曰：“秋三月，太白出西方，當白而不白，逆行；必有金石之妖，且見隕星墜為石，石之所下，寇至其野，凶；山崩地裂，出水無火，而金自燔；天雨血，高臺自壓；見此二者，國有大喪，及為祠蓐收西海之神命，及為役，命兵，令勤事，試車馬，警邊境，修邊地。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: During the three months of autumn, if the star Tai Bai appears in the west, it should be bright white but is not white, and moves in the opposite direction; this surely indicates an omen of metal or stone, and one will see falling stars that turn into stones, and the fields where the stones fall will have troops of bandits coming, indicating a calamity. In addition, there will be mountain collapses and earth cracks, with springs gushing out but no fire, and metal burning on its own; blood rain will fall from the sky, and high platforms will collapse without cause. When these two kinds of omens appear, the country will suffer a great mourning. Therefore, one should worship the western god Rushou and the western sea god to appeal to heaven's mandate, and also mobilize laborers, appoint generals to lead troops, command the people to diligently perform their duties, inspect chariots and horses, guard the borders, and repair border defenses.

甘氏曰：“候太白以秋庚辛，此王氣，色當如其常，色變則失所也。”石氏曰：“太白赤比心，黃比參右肩，蒼比參左肩、黑比天豕之右目。”《荊州占》曰：“太白赤比心，白比狼星、織女星，黃比左角。”班固《天文志》曰：“黃比參左肩，青比參右肩，黑比右角。”《天官書》曰：“黑奎大星也，此太白之常色也；一書云青比左角也。”

Gan De said: Observing and examining Tai Bai, one should focus on the days of Geng and Xin in the autumn season, for this is when its power is at its peak, and its color should remain normal; if the color changes, it indicates that it has lost its proper position. The Shi school said: If Tai Bai turns red, it should be compared to the color of the Heart mansion; if it turns yellow, it should be compared to the right shoulder star of the Three Stars mansion; if it turns dark blue, it should be compared to the right eye star of the Tian Shi (Legs mansion); if it turns black, it should be compared to the large star of the Tian Shi. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: If Tai Bai turns red, it should be compared to the Heart mansion; if it turns white, it should be compared to the Wolf star and the Weaving Woman star; if it turns yellow, it should be compared to the left star of the Horn mansion. Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Records of Astronomy" said: If it turns yellow, it should be compared to the left shoulder of the Three Stars mansion; if it turns green, it should be compared to the right shoulder of the Three Stars mansion; if it turns black, it should be compared to the right star of the Horn mansion. The "Records of the Grand Historian · Book of Celestial Officials" said: If it turns black, it should be compared to the large star of the Tian Shi; these are the normal colors of Tai Bai; another book said that if it turns green, it should be compared to the left star of the Horn mansion.

石氏曰：“太白色猛赤，次白而蒼，若悴而不光，是謂失色；雖得地位，擊之必克；其大而圓，黃而澤，可以為好事；其圓大怒而赤，天下兵降而不戰。太白色白圓、明潤，吉；黃圓和，黑圓憂，青圓小憂。”《荊州占》曰：“太白青圓，為水。”

The Shi school says: When the star Tai Bai appears red and fierce, and if it is white with a bluish tinge, and appears dry and dull without luster, this is called "losing color." At such times, even if the enemy holds a favorable position, attacking them will certainly result in victory. If the star is large, round, yellow, and moist, it indicates auspicious events. If it is round and appears angry with a red hue, then the armies of the world will surrender without battle. Tai Bai appearing white, round, and bright with luster is auspicious. If it is yellow and round, it signifies peace. If it is black and round, it indicates trouble. If it is green and round, it indicates minor troubles. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Tai Bai appearing green and round indicates water disasters.

巫咸曰：“太白赤，東西南北行，非常色；此有謀國，兵起。太白失色，國失兵，將亡。太白光明，見影，歲熟，戰勝。”《海中占》曰：“太白光明，見影；戰當太白者，將軍增爵，主增壽。”

Wu Xian said: Tai Bai appears red, wandering in all directions east, west, south and north, which is not its usual color; at this time, someone is plotting against another country, and military conflict is about to arise. Tai Bai losing its true color indicates the country losing its military strength, and generals and commanders will be defeated. Tai Bai shining brightly, bright enough to cast human shadows, indicates a bountiful harvest and victory in battle. The "Sea Divination" says: Tai Bai shining brightly enough to cast human shadows; when fighting, the side where Tai Bai is located will have the general receive a promotion and the ruler gain extended longevity.

郗萌曰：“太白當效而出、色黃為土，中央利，有土功事，有軍；一曰有德令，其國利。太白光如張蓋，所在之國有立王；揚光見影、歲大熟。太白色圓而悴，期不出六十日，有大喪。太白色黃黑，軍在外者罷；有謀者，以雨厭之。”

Xi Meng said: The bright star Tai Bai appears on schedule, its color yellow belonging to the earth element, indicating benefit in the center, and there will be construction projects and military actions; another interpretation is that the court issues virtuous policies, and the country in that region will benefit. The light of Tai Bai spreads like the canopy of a chariot, and the country it shines upon will appoint a king; if its light shines so brightly that it can illuminate human figures, it indicates a bountiful harvest. If Tai Bai is round in shape but has a dry and withered color, it will not appear within sixty days, and there will be a great mourning. If Tai Bai has a yellow color with black tinge, it indicates that the army stationed outside will return; if there are people plotting, it will be suppressed by a rain.

《荊州占》曰：“太白始出，色黃，其國吉；赤，有兵而不傷其國；色白，歲熟；色黑，有水。太白始生，未可擊；色隆，未可擊；色衰，未可擊；色死，急擊勿置；不急擊，客將為主人。

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star Tai Bai first appears, if its color is yellow, the country corresponding to that region will be auspicious; if its color is red, although there may be military affairs, it will not cause harm to the country; if its color is white, it indicates a bountiful harvest; if its color is black, it signifies a flood. When Tai Bai first appears, one should not launch an attack; when its light is at its peak, one should not launch an attack; when its light is just beginning to fade, one should not launch an attack; only when its light has withered should one seize the opportunity to attack, without delay; if one does not act in time, the opposing side will become the dominant side.

太白其狀，炎然而上，則有兵大起，下則有天狗，所下其野流血；出無時，則易其政；太白色正蒼，有兵；青，有憂；太白色蒼黑，期不出六十日，中有喪，若憂；黑多，為水；蒼黑等，水兵並起。太白蒼白而靜，天下厭兵。太白色蒼白，期不出六十日，中有喪，若憂。

When Tai Bai appears red like flames rising upward, it indicates great military calamities. If the flame appears to descend, it signifies the falling of the Heavenly Dog star, causing rivers of blood to flow in the fields where it falls. Its appearance and disappearance have no fixed time, indicating changes in government orders. If Tai Bai is purely blue, it signifies war; if it turns green, it indicates worry. If Tai Bai is blue with a hint of black, the calamity will occur within sixty days, during which there may be mourning or troubles. If it is mostly black, it indicates flooding. If blue and black are equally present, both floods and military disasters will occur. If Tai Bai is pale and calm, it indicates the world's rejection of war. If Tai Bai is pale, the calamity will occur within sixty days, during which there may be mourning or troubles.

太白始出，色白、其國歲熟；又曰秦利。太白色黑，芒澤，有子孫，喜立王。太色白赤白而潤，有喜。太白始出，色黃，其國吉；黃白，和同；色赤，來年有兵，戰勝；又曰楚利；又曰始出色赤，而淳得地。”巫咸曰：“太白色黑，秋水尚可春破師。”《海中占》曰：“太白色赤，淳得食；白、淳有喜；蒼，憂；蒼黑，為死。”《荊州占》曰：“太白色白而無角，將不勝。”巫咸曰：“太白色黃，有角，其國疫；又色白，旱。”《荊州占》曰：“太白色黑，燕利。”

When the bright star appears, its color is white, indicating that the country in that region will have a bountiful harvest; another view says it is favorable for the state of Qin. If the bright star is white with a black color and a bright, moist appearance, it indicates there will be joy from descendants and the happiness of establishing a king. If the bright star is white with a slight red tinge and a bright appearance, it indicates there will be joy. When the bright star appears with a white color, the country in that region will be favorable; if it is white and yellow, it indicates harmony between superiors and inferiors; if it is red, it indicates there will be war next year, and the country will win; another view says if the bright star first appears red and is entirely red, it will gain territory. Wu Xian said: if the bright star is black, it indicates abundant water in autumn, and in spring it can defeat the enemy. The "Sea Divination" said: if the bright star is red and pure, it indicates receiving official salary; if it is white and pure, it indicates joy; if it is gray, it indicates worry; if it is gray with black, it indicates death. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: if the bright star is white without apointed rays, the general will not be able to win. Wu Xian said: if the bright star is yellow with apointed rays, the country in that region will suffer from an epidemic; if it is white, it indicates drought. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: if the bright star is black, it is favorable for the state of Yan.

《甘氏占》曰：“太白色白，五芒出，早為月食，晚為彗星及天矢；將發於無道之國。”郗萌曰：“太白常形，行則垂芒，上銳下大；色如常，止。”《荊州占》曰：“太白蒼芒，有喪憂。”甘氏曰：“太白獨行，赤則武也，可以戰；白而芒，則文也，不可以戰；若行疾者，武也；不行者，文也。”《海中占》曰：“太白十二芒鉤，不可以戰。”京氏曰：“尚書微，則太白垂芒。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Tai Bai is white and emits five rays, if the event occurs early, it will be seen during a lunar eclipse; if it occurs late, it will be seen through comets and other strange stars; calamities will originate from a country without virtue. Xi Meng says: When Tai Bai is in its usual shape, if it emits rays pointing downward, with a sharp top and a thick bottom, and its color remains the same as usual, there will be no problems. The Jingzhou divination text says: When Tai Bai emits a pale blue ray, it indicates mourning and worries. Gan De says: When Tai Bai moves alone, if it is red, it signifies military action; if it is white and emits rays, it signifies civil action, and military action should be avoided; if it moves quickly, it signifies military action; if it remains still, it signifies civil action. The Hai Zhong divination text says: When Tai Bai emits twelve curved rays, it is not advisable to engage in battle. Jing Fang says: When the position of the Minister of Works declines, Tai Bai will emit rays downward.

《荊州占》曰：“太白見一芒，兵起不用；見二芒，戰攻；見三芒，天下皆兵起；見四芒，諸侯死境；見五芒，天下更制王國；一曰立邦。太白十芒，皆鉤，不戰而受地。太白所在之鄉，視芒而日增長，如行過維，此大人之氣也，不可不備。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai appears with one ray, armies may rise but there will be no actual warfare; with two rays, it signifies fighting and military campaigns; with three rays, warfare will break out everywhere; with four rays, the feudal lords will die within their territories; with five rays, the world will need to reorganize the territories of the kingdoms; another interpretation suggests the establishment of new states. If Tai Bai appears with ten rays, all curved, it indicates that land can be acquired without warfare. Where Tai Bai appears, if its rays increase day by day and it passes through the four cardinal directions, this is an omen of the rise of a great person, and one must be vigilant and prepare in advance.

石氏曰：“太白青角，有木事；黑角，有水事；白角，有喪；赤角，有戰。”石氏曰：“太白赤角，用兵敢戰，吉；不敢戰，凶；順角所指擊之，吉；逆之，凶。”《荊州占》曰：“太白大，王光有角，將暴虐，為民賊；所往者，民苦之；所去者，民不治。”巫咸曰：“太白赤而有角，將勝；赤而無角，將不勝。”《荊州占》曰：“太白四角者，赦。”《海中占》曰：“太白有五角，立將帥；六角，有取國地；七角，伐王。”

The Shi school says: When the bright star appears with a greenish-bluepointed rays, it indicates there will be matters concerning wood; if it appears with a blackpointed rays, it indicates there will be water-related events; if it appears with a whitepointed rays, it indicates there will be mourning events; if it appears with a redpointed rays, it indicates there will be warfare. The Shi school also says: When the bright star appears with a redpointed rays, if it is used in battle and dares to engage in combat, it is auspicious; if it is used in battle but does not dare to engage in combat, it is inauspicious. If the army attacks in the direction of thepointed rays, it is auspicious; if it attacks against the direction of thepointed rays, it is inauspicious. The Jingzhou占 says: When the bright star is large in body, its light is extremely bright and it haspointed rays, it indicates that generals will be tyrannical and become thieves who harm the people; wherever it goes, the people suffer greatly; after it leaves, the people will not be properly governed. Wu Xian says: When the bright star is red and haspointed rays, it indicates that the generals will win; if it is red but has nopointed rays, it indicates that the generals will not win. The Jingzhou占 says: When the bright star has fourpointed rays, it indicates the issuance of an amnesty. The Hai Zhong占 says: When the bright star has fivepointed rays, it indicates the appointment of generals; sixpointed rays, it indicates the taking of land from another country; sevenpointed rays, it indicates the attack on a king.

《荊州占》曰：“太白過宿，有角長，取地長；角短，取地短。太白過宿，有角外指，其國得地；內指，其國失地；期一年。太白居實，有德；居虛，無德；行勝色，（晉灼曰：太白行得度，勝有色也。）色勝位，有位勝無位；有色勝無色；行得，盡勝之。（晉灼曰：行應天度，雖有色，得位，行盡勝之；行重而色位輕，星經得字作德。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star (Tai Bai) passes through a particular star mansion, if its bright edge is long, the land it conquers is extensive; if its bright edge is short, the land it conquers is narrow. When the bright star passes through a particular star mansion, if its bright edge points outward, the country of that region will gain land; if it points inward, that country will lose land; this occurs within a year. If the bright star resides in a full and prosperous part of the star mansion, it indicates the presence of virtue; if it resides in a barren and empty part, it indicates the absence of virtue. In terms of importance, the movement and path of the bright star surpasses its color; the color surpasses its position; having a position surpasses not having one; having color surpasses not having color; but if the movement and path are appropriate, it entirely overrides the other factors. (Note from the original text: Jin Zhu says that if the bright star moves in accordance with the heavenly path, it surpasses its displayed color. The text says that the movement and path of the bright star is more significant than its color and position; this is to say that the movement and path carry more weight, while color and position carry less. The *Star Classic* uses the character 'de' for 'get'.)

出於辰之南，鄭得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色黃而赤，大而角，勝；蒼、小，敗。出於辰卯間，宋得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色黃而赤，大而角，勝；黑小，敗。出於寅卯間，衛得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色黃，大而角，勝；蒼小、敗。出於寅之北，趙得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色黃而華，大而角，勝；蒼小，敗。

When the star Tai Bai appears to the south of the position of Chen, the state of Zheng is in position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates from normal, it indicates defeat; if it appears yellow with a reddish tinge, large in size and with a sharp edge, it indicates victory; if it appears dark green and small in size, it indicates defeat. When the star appears between Chen and Mao, the state of Song is in position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates from normal, it indicates defeat; if it appears yellow with a reddish tinge, large in size and with a sharp edge, it indicates victory; if it appears black and small in size, it indicates defeat. When the star appears between Yin and Mao, the state of Wei is in position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates from normal, it indicates defeat; if it appears yellow and large in size with a sharp edge, it indicates victory; if it appears dark green and small in size, it indicates defeat. When the star appears to the north of Yin, the state of Zhao is in position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates from normal, it indicates defeat; if it appears yellow with a luminous glow and large in size with a sharp edge, it indicates victory; if it appears dark green and small in size, it indicates defeat.

出於午未間，吳越得位；行不失，勝；行不失，敗；色蒼廉，赤大而角，勝；黃小，不勝，廉亦敗。出於申之南，楚得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色赤、大而角，勝；赤小、敗。出於申酉間，漢得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色大而角，勝；赤小，敗。出於酉戍間，齊得位；行失，勝；行失，敗；色蒼大而角，勝；白小，敗。出於戍之北，燕得位；行不失，勝；行失，敗；色黑大而角，勝；黃小，敗。”

When the star Tai Bai appears between the positions of Wu and Wei, the state of Wu-Yue is in a favorable position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates, it indicates defeat; if it appears dark blue with sharp edges or red with a large body and sharp points, it indicates victory; if it appears yellow with a small body, it cannot win, and if it has sharp edges but no points, it also indicates defeat. When it appears to the south of the position of Shen, the state of Chu is in a favorable position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates, it indicates defeat; if it appears red with a large body and points, it indicates victory; if it appears red with a small body, it indicates defeat. When it appears between the positions of Shen and You, the state of Han is in a favorable position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates, it indicates defeat; if the star is large with points, it indicates victory; if it appears red with a small body, it indicates defeat. When it appears between the positions of You and Xu, the state of Qi is in a favorable position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates, it indicates defeat; if it appears dark blue with a large body and points, it indicates victory; if it appears white with a small body, it indicates defeat. When it appears to the north of the position of Xu, the state of Yan is in a favorable position; if its movement remains normal, it indicates victory; if it deviates, it indicates defeat; if it appears black with a large body and points, it indicates victory; if it appears yellow with a small body, it indicates defeat. In this passage, among the entries for Wu-Yue and Qi, the phrases 'movement remains normal' and 'movement deviates' each appear twice, which is likely a mistake in the original text. Following the examples in the preceding text, these should be read accordingly.

班固《天文志》曰：“太白所直之辰，其國為得位；得位者，戰勝；所有之辰，順其色，白角者勝；其色害者，敗。”（晉灼曰：鄭色黃而赤，蒼小敗，宋色黃而赤，黑小敗，楚色赤，黑小敗；燕色黑，黃小敗；皆大角勝。）

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: the hour and direction where the planet Tai Bai is located, the country corresponding to that hour and direction is considered to "hold the position"; the party that holds the position will win in battle; in the hour and direction where Tai Bai is located, if the color is harmonious with it, white in color with a sharp edge, it indicates victory; if the color is mutually controlling or harmful, it indicates defeat. (Commentary from the original text: Jin Zhu said, Zheng considered yellow with a red tinge as auspicious, black color with a small body as defeat; Song considered yellow with a red tinge as auspicious, black color with a small body as defeat; Chu considered red color as auspicious, black color with a small body as defeat; Yan considered black color as auspicious, yellow color with a small body as defeat; all these schools considered that a large star body with a sharp edge would lead to victory.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白之色赤也，將者勝；其白無角，不勝；其剛也，破軍殺將；其柔也，勝不殺將；太白赤而角者，武也，戰，不戰凶。太白之色赤，澤而有角，命曰大旗；旗長，取地長；旗短，取地短。”《文曜鉤》曰：“太白青角，棺槨貴。”《荊州占》曰：“太白黃而角，有土功；色白而角，文，不可以戰，一曰哭泣之聲；色黑而角，大水有兵，在外戰，吉；不戰，凶。”《元命包》曰：“太白高下進退應兵，名舒疾；左右角曜，兵官驚慎，武將斥武臣。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai appears red, it indicates the general will achieve victory; if it appears white without sharp angles, it indicates the general will not achieve victory; if it is in a strong state, it indicates the army will be defeated and the general will be killed; if it is in a weak state, although victory may be achieved, the general will not be killed. Tai Bai appearing red with sharp angles belongs to the military appearance, which is favorable for battle, but if no battle occurs, it will be ominous. Tai Bai appearing red, bright, and with sharp angles is called "Great Flag"; if the flag is long, the land gained will be extensive; if the flag is short, the land gained will be limited. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Tai Bai produces a green sharp angle, the price of coffin will rise. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When Tai Bai appears yellow with sharp angles, it indicates the commencement of construction projects; when it appears white with sharp angles, it belongs to the literary appearance, which is not favorable for battle; another interpretation says that the general will hear the sound of weeping; when it appears black with sharp angles, it indicates a great flood accompanied by military affairs, and in foreign warfare it is favorable, but if no battle occurs, it will be ominous. The *Yuanming Bao* says: The height and movement of Tai Bai correspond to the slow or rapid pace of military actions, which is called "Shu Ji"; if the sharp angles on both sides of Tai Bai shine brightly, it indicates the officials in charge of military affairs will be fearful and cautious, and the military officers will dismiss other military officials.

石氏曰：“日方南，太白居其南；日方北，太白居其北，曰盈；侯王不寧，用兵進，吉；退，凶。日方南，太白居其北；日方北，太白居其南，曰縮；侯王憂，用兵退，吉；進，凶；遲，吉；疾，凶。”（日方南謂夏至後也，日方北謂冬至後也。）

The Shi school says: When the Star of brightness and prestige moves southward, the Bright White Star is located south of it; when the Star of brightness and prestige moves northward, the Bright White Star is located north of it: this is called "Ying"; it indicates that the feudal princes and kings will not be at peace. In warfare, advancing is auspicious, while retreating is inauspicious. Conversely, when the Star of brightness and prestige moves southward and the Bright White Star is located north of it; when the Star of brightness and prestige moves northward and the Bright White Star is located south of it: this is called "Suo"; it indicates that the feudal princes and kings will have worries. In warfare, retreating is auspicious, while advancing is inauspicious; being slow is auspicious, while rushing forward is inauspicious. (Original book note: The phrase "the sun is moving southward" refers to the period after the summer solstice when the sun moves southward; "the sun is moving northward" refers to the period after the winter solstice when the sun moves northward.)

《元命包》曰：“太白贏，則將相謀；太白縮，則后族患；圓而不行，我侍為君。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出於巳，殺大將；出於未，陽國傷。”《春秋緯文耀鉤》曰：“太白躍，沉浮，主代提，天下更紀，世有名師。”（宋均曰：主德不一，則攝提代移，更紀，授有令名，能天下師表者也。）

The Yuan Ming Bao says: When the star Tai Bai expands and advances, it indicates that ministers and generals have secret plans; when Tai Bai contracts and retreats, it signifies that the royal family will suffer calamity; if the star is full but remains stationary, it means that a court attendant will usurp the throne. The Jingzhou Zhuan says: When Tai Bai appears in the position of Si, it indicates the death of a general; when it appears in the position of Wei, it signifies damage to the Yang state. The Chunqiu Wei · Wen Yao Gou says: When Tai Bai moves unpredictably, rising and falling suddenly, it indicates that the star Shetí will shift its position, leading to a change of dynasty, the world will see a renowned teacher-like figure. (Original book note: Song Jun said, if the ruler's virtue is not consistent, the position of Shetí will change; the term 'gengji' refers to transferring the mandate of heaven to a person with a good reputation who can be a teacher to the world.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白見東方，上至巳，皆更政；出西方，順行過巳，不及午，有霸國；及午，陰國令天下。”（案班固《天文志》曰：三年秋，太白出西方，有光，幾中乍北乍南，過期乃入，是時項羽為楚王，而漢已定三秦，與相距滎陽，幾中是秦地戰將勝而漢國將興也。晉灼注曰：幾中近踰未地也。）

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star appears in the east and moves upward to the Si position, it indicates changes in government orders; when it appears in the west and moves smoothly past the Si position but has not yet reached the Wu position, it signifies the emergence of a hegemonic state; when it reaches the Wu position, it indicates that the state of the Yin direction will issue commands throughout the world. (Original commentary: According to Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records," in the autumn of the third year of the Han dynasty, the bright star appeared in the west, its light shining brightly, almost reaching the zenith, suddenly leaning north and then south, exceeding the usual time before disappearing. At that time, Xiang Yu was the King of Chu, while the Han had already pacified the three Qins, and both sides were holding each other in Xingyang; the phrase "ji zhong" should correspond to the situation where the forces of the Qin region were about to achieve victory and the Han dynasty was about to rise. Jin Zhu's commentary says: "ji zhong" refers to approaching and slightly surpassing the Wei position.)

郗萌曰：“太白出戌入未，是謂犯地行刑，絕天維，國大小暴，兵將多傷。”《荊州占》曰：“太白行小失道，其將為奸；行大失道，其將為大奸，其國將坐之，逆行尤甚。”石氏曰：“其國失殺秋政，則太白失行。”巫咸曰：“太白出西方，失道有過，八月不盡九月至，一日期三月。”

Xi Meng said: Tai Bai starts from the Xu position and disappears into the Wei position, which is called "violating the earth's path and executing punishment," cutting off the heavenly framework, indicating that the country, regardless of its size, will suffer from tyranny, with many casualties among soldiers and generals. The Jingzhou Divination says: when Tai Bai deviates slightly from its usual path, the general will act unjustly; when it deviates greatly, the general is a great villain, and the country will be punished accordingly. The Shi school says: if a country loses the autumn policy of warfare, Tai Bai will deviate from its normal course. Wu Xian said: when Tai Bai appears in the west, deviating from its usual path and committing an error, signs will appear before the end of the eighth month and the beginning of the ninth month. For each day it deviates, the consequence will manifest after three months.

又占曰：“太白失行而南，是謂金入火，有兵兵罷；不出三年，國有男喪，若有兵。”（《魏武帝兵法》曰：不有破軍，必有屠城，北國當之。）《荊州占》曰：“太白失行而北，金入水，災大兵起。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：“晉惠帝光熙元年四月，太白失行，自翼入尾箕，占曰：太白失行而北，是謂反生，不有破軍，必有屠城。五月汲桑攻鄴，魏郡太守馬嵩出戰，大敗桑，遂害東燕王騰，殺萬餘人，焚燒，魏時宮室皆盡也。）

Another divination passage says: When the star Tai Bai deviates from its normal path and moves southward, this is called "metal entering fire," indicating that there will first be military conflicts, followed by their cessation; within three years, there will be the death of a male within the country, or another military campaign. (The original commentary cites the "Military Methods of the Emperor Wu of Wei" which states: Either the army will suffer a great defeat, or there will be a massacre in a northern country.) The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the star Tai Bai deviates from its normal path and moves northward, this is called "metal entering water," indicating the emergence of calamities and large-scale warfare. (The original commentary notes: According to the "History of the Southern Dynasties · Astronomical Records," in the fourth month of the first year of Guangxi of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, the star Tai Bai deviated from its normal path, moving from the mansion of Yi to the mansions of Wei and Ji. The divination passage states: When Tai Bai deviates from its normal path and moves northward, this is called "reverse birth." Either the army will suffer a great defeat, or there will be a massacre. In that same month of May, Ji Sang attacked the city of Ye, and the governor of Wei Commandery, Ma Song, engaged in battle and was defeated by Ji Sang. Ji Sang then killed the Eastern Yan King Sima Teng and massacred over ten thousand people, setting fire to the city, and the palaces built during the Cao Wei dynasty were reduced to ashes.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白出，至其國之日而獨不見，其兵弱；若有此，可擊，必能得其將。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東方，失行而北，中國敗；失行而南，倍海國敗。”石氏曰：“太白出西方，失行，倍海之國敗；（《天文志》曰：夷狄敗）其出東方，失行，中國敗。”《荊州占》曰：“太白有不見三日，有亡國敗師。”又占曰：“太白一南一北、九侯皆伏。”又占曰：“太白一東一西，害於侯王。”（謂有免侯王也。）

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai appears, if on the day it is supposed to appear for a certain country it does not show up, it indicates that country's military strength is weak; in such a case, an attack will certainly capture its generals. Zhongjiao Zhan also says: When Tai Bai appears in the east and deviates from its normal course to the north, it indicates the defeat of the Central Plains states; if it deviates to the south, it indicates the defeat of the coastal states. The Shi school says: When Tai Bai appears in the west and its movement is abnormal, it indicates the defeat of the coastal states (note from the original text: Han Shu · Tianwen Zhi here says 'barbarian states will be defeated'); if it appears in the east and its movement is abnormal, it indicates the defeat of the Central Plains states. Zhongjiao Zhan says: If Tai Bai disappears for three consecutive days, it indicates the occurrence of a country's downfall and military defeat. Another divination says: If Tai Bai moves suddenly south and north, it indicates that the nine feudal princes will all hide and remain silent. Another divination says: If Tai Bai moves suddenly east and west, the harm will fall upon the feudal princes. (note from the original text: This refers to the possibility of feudal princes being dismissed from their positions.)

又占曰：“太白在東方，以始出為位，在月南為得行，在月北為失行；不有破軍，必有屠城；與月相過失行，月不盡，一日；二月，二日；三月，三日；四月，四日；五月，五日；六月，六日；七月，七日；八月，八日；九月，九日，而兵起。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出西方，下行一舍，如下北；兵將當有戮者。”郗萌曰：“太白出東方，若西方，過營室，強國君有興者；不及營室，而反還入，強國有敗者。”

Another divination passage states: When the planet Tai Bai is in the east, take its initial position as the reference point. If its movement is to the south of the moon, it indicates proper course; if to the north, it indicates improper course. Once it is improper, either the army will collapse or there will be a massacre of the city. When Tai Bai crosses over the moon and its course is improper, the time of occurrence is calculated by adding days according to the months: in the first month, it will happen one day later; in the second month, two days; in the third month, three days; in the fourth month, four days; in the fifth month, five days; in the sixth month, six days; in the seventh month, seven days; in the eighth month, eight days; in the ninth month, nine days, at which time military actions will arise. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Tai Bai appears in the west and moves downward through one mansion, like moving slightly to the north, it indicates that some soldiers and generals will be executed. Xi Meng says: When Tai Bai appears in the east or west and passes over the mansion of Shixu, it indicates that a strong country's ruler will have a flourishing trend; if it does not reach Shixu and then retreats and hides, it indicates that a strong country will face a downfall.

《海中占》曰：“主好聽讒，廢直大臣，女子為政，刑法誅殺，不以道理；則太白逆行，天鳴地坼，歲多暴風，大水，庶民負子而逃，孕多死，麥豆不收。”劉向《洪範》曰：“好戰功，輕百姓，飾城郭，侵邊境，是謂不艾；厥極憂，時生蟊，則太白變色，逆行。”郗萌曰：“太白逆行，變色；簡宗廟，廢禱祀，去祭祀，逆天行。”《荊州占》曰：“太白逆行，失常，有兵革。”

The Sea of the Sea Divination says: If the sovereign likes to believe in slander, dismisses upright ministers, allows women to interfere in state affairs, and applies punishments without reason, then the star Tai Bai will move retrograde, the Star of Emptiness will emit a sound, the earth will crack, there will be frequent storms and floods in a year, people will carry their children and flee, many pregnant women will die, and there will be no harvest of wheat and beans. Liu Xiang's "Hongan Wuxing Zhuan" says: If one seeks military achievements greedily, despises the people, focuses only on fortifying cities, and disturbs the borders, this is called "Bu Ai," meaning not knowing when to stop; its ultimate consequence is calamity, and at that time there will be a plague of pests, so Tai Bai will change color and move retrograde. Xi Meng says: Tai Bai moving retrograde and changing color is because of neglecting the ancestral temples, abandoning prayers, removing sacrifices, and violating the way of heaven. The Jiangzhou Divination says: Tai Bai moving retrograde and losing its normal state indicates there will be warfare and disorder.

又占曰：“王者失於秋政，則太白逆行，變色，揚芒，與他星含斗，環繞犯乘，變為妖星，彗掃其害庭，國破主死，天下皆兵，王者修德赦罪，存孤恤寡，薄賦省徭，可得無咎。”《荊州占》曰：“太白始出，逆行；不可以逆戰，大凶，敗亡。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出東方，逆行，不至巳而返，陽國強、陰國敗，戰不勝；一曰陽國有興者。”《荊州占》曰：“太白東方逆行，過巳不至午，有霸國；及午，陽國令天下；一曰陽國霸。”石氏曰：“太白出西方，逆行至四正，西方之國吉；出東方，逆行至四正，東方之國吉。”

Another divination passage says: If the king fails in his policies during the autumn season, then the star Tai Bai will move retrograde, change color, emit a bright ray, and connect with other stars to fight and encircle, thereby invading and overpowering. It will then transform into a demon star, like a comet, sweeping across the heavens and causing calamity, indicating the destruction of the country, the death of the king, and chaos throughout the land. At this time, if the king can cultivate virtue, pardon criminals, care for orphans, support widows, reduce taxes, and lighten labor, he can avoid disaster. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Tai Bai appears and moves retrograde immediately, it is not advisable to fight against it, for great misfortune will follow and defeat will come. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: If Tai Bai appears in the east and moves retrograde, and before reaching the position of Si it turns back, this indicates that the country of the Yang side will be strong and the country of the Yin side will be defeated, and the battle will not be successful; another interpretation is that there will be a rising power in the Yang side. The "Jingzhou Divination" further says: If Tai Bai appears in the east and moves retrograde, passing through the position of Si but not yet reaching the position of Wu, this indicates the emergence of a hegemonic state; if it reaches the position of Wu, then the country of the Yang side will issue commands to the world; another interpretation is that the country of the Yang side will become hegemonic. The Shi school says: If Tai Bai appears in the west and moves retrograde to the four cardinal positions of Zi, Wu, Mao, and You, the western country will be auspicious; if it appears in the east and moves retrograde to the four cardinal positions, the eastern country will be auspicious.

《文曜鉤》曰：“太白當出不出，陰匿留，主沉湎，大臣有謀。”石氏曰：“太白當出不出，當入不入，是謂失舍；不有破軍，必有死王亡國。”（案《天官書》曰：必有國君之墓。又《宋書天文志》曰：晉武帝咸寧四年九月，太白當見不見，是時羊祜表請伐吳，上許之，五年十一月兵出，太白始夕見西方，太康元年三月大破吳軍，孫皓面縛請死，吳國遂亡，應之。）

The Wenyao Gou says: When the star Tai Bai should appear but does not, hiding and lingering in darkness, it indicates the ruler indulging in wine and women, and ministers plotting secretly. The Shi school says: When Tai Bai should appear but does not, or should disappear but does not, this is called "shish" (loss of dwelling); it is not the defeat of the army, but there will certainly be the death of the king and the downfall of the state. (Original book note: According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the Heavenly Officials Book, one must add a tomb for the king. Also, the Book of the Later Han, Heavenly Officials Records, states that in the ninth month of the fourth year of Xianning during Emperor Wu of Jin's reign, Tai Bai did not appear when it should have; at that time, Yang Hu submitted a memorial requesting an attack on Eastern Wu, and Emperor Wu approved. In the eleventh month of the fifth year, the army set out, and Tai Bai appeared in the west in the evening. In the third month of the first year of Taikang, the Wu army was defeated, Sun Hao surrendered bound and begged for death, and Wu thus fell, which exactly corresponds to this omen.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白未當入而入，天下聚糧。”石氏曰：“太白當出而不出，當入而不入，天下偃兵，兵在外而入。”（《荊州占》曰：有軍則罷。）《文曜鉤》曰：“太白不當出而出，主躁臣熾，軍破主死，兵馬滋。”《荊州占》曰：“太白當出而出，外有急兵；出南方，南方急；出北方，北方急。”石氏曰：“太白出東方，為東方入為東方；出西方，為西方入為南方。又曰：所居久，其國利。”《荊州占》曰：“居宿如度，其鄉利；易，其鄉凶。”（蘇林注《漢書天文志》曰：疾，過也；一說易鄉爾出入。晉灼曰：上言易而出易，言疾過是。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star (Tai Bai) should not be hidden but is hidden, it indicates that the whole country will gather grain. The Shi school says: When the bright star should appear but does not, and should disappear but does not, it indicates that the whole country will cease warfare and recall troops stationed abroad. (The original note cites the *Jingzhou Divination* saying: If there are stationed troops, they should be disbanded.) The *Wenyao Gou* says: When the bright star should not appear but does, it indicates that the ruler will be restless, ministers will be arrogant, armies will collapse, and the ruler will die. Matters concerning military forces will grow increasingly serious. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star appears on schedule, there will be urgent military affairs outside; if it appears from the south, the south will be in crisis; if it appears from the north, the north will be in crisis. The Shi school says: When the bright star appears in the east, its influence should be in the east; when it is hidden, it should still be in the east. When it appears in the west, its influence should be in the west; when it is hidden, it should be in the south. It also says: If it stays in a place for a long time, the region corresponding to that place will be favorable. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star remains in its proper position, the corresponding region will be favorable; if it moves easily, the corresponding region will be unfavorable. (Original note: Su Lin's annotation of the *Han Shu* *Astronomical Records* says that 'ji' means 'guo' (to pass by); another interpretation says 'yi xiang' refers to its unpredictable appearances and disappearances. Jin Zhu says that the previous text discusses 'yi' (easy) and the coming and going of the star, which is precisely the meaning of 'ji guo' (to pass by quickly).)

甘氏曰：“太白政緩，則不出；急，則不入；逆，則凶。”又占曰：“太白未及其時而出，不及其時而入，天下舉兵，所當國亡；以時出而不出，時未入而入，天下偃兵，野有兵者，所當之國大凶。”巫咸曰：“太白可出不出，國且有謀；可入不入，國有置兵；當入不入，過二十日，天下有兵事。”又占曰：“太白可入不入，國且置侯，未可入而入，野有寇。”又占曰：“太白出西方，黃昏而出，陰國之兵強。”

Gan De said: If government affairs are lenient, then Tai Bai will not appear at the proper time; if government affairs are urgent, then Tai Bai will not disappear at the proper time; if the government orders are perverse, then there will be calamity. Another divination says: If Tai Bai appears before its time and disappears before its time, it indicates that the whole world will have military actions, and the country that corresponds will be destroyed; if Tai Bai should appear but does not, and should disappear but does, it indicates that the whole world will cease military actions; if there are still troops stationed in the outskirts, the country that corresponds will suffer great misfortune. Wu Xian said: If Tai Bai should appear but does not, it indicates there will be conspiracy within the country; if Tai Bai should disappear but does not, it indicates the country will station troops; if Tai Bai should disappear but does not, and exceeds twenty days, there will be military actions in the world. Another divination says: If Tai Bai should disappear but does not, it indicates the country will divide its territory and grant fiefs; if Tai Bai should not disappear but does, it indicates there will be bandits in the outskirts. Another divination says: If Tai Bai appears in the west at dusk, it indicates the country of the Yin side will have strong military power.

《天官書》曰：“太白暮食而出，小弱；夜半而出，中弱；雞鳴而出，大弱；是陰陷於陽。”巫咸曰：“太白在東方，平旦而出，東方南方以舉兵，天下不能當；平明而出，東方陽國之兵強；雞嗚而出，其國大弱；黃昏而出，中弱，是謂陽陷於陰。”石氏曰：“太白未當出而出，當入而不入，天下起兵，有破國。”

The Records of the Grand Historian: The Book of Celestial Officials says: When the bright star appears in the evening at mealtime, it indicates a minor decline; when it appears at midnight, it indicates a moderate decline; when it appears at the time of the crowing of the rooster, it indicates a great decline: this is called Yin entering Yang. Wu Xian says: When the bright star appears in the east at dawn, the east and south will mobilize armies at this time, and the whole world will be unable to resist; when it appears at dawn, the military strength of the Yang states in the east will be strong; when it appears at the time of the crowing of the rooster, that state will greatly decline; when it appears at dusk, it indicates a moderate decline: this is called Yang entering Yin. The Shi school says: When the bright star should not appear but does, and should be hidden but is not, it indicates that armies will be raised throughout the land, and some states will perish.

巫咸曰：“太白未當出東方而出東方，色黃白，曰重華；吏民讙譁，事擾不治，民不得耕織，或騷動不得食，使之無然，聽訟得其理，則止。非重華色而重華，人民作為不祥。”

Wu Xian said: The bright star should not appear in the east but does appear in the east, with a yellow and white color, which is called "Chong Hua"; this indicates that officials and common people will be noisy and clamorous, affairs will be chaotic and difficult to manage, common people will be unable to rest contentedly in farming and weaving, and even disturbances will arise to the point of not having enough food. To prevent this from happening, one only needs to adjudicate lawsuits in a reasonable manner, and the chaos will naturally subside. If the color is not that of Chong Hua but is forcibly interpreted as Chong Hua for divination, it will instead bring misfortune to the people's actions.

巫咸曰：“太白未可下而下東方，色黃而不明，名曰少歲；少歲亂行，人民驚惶於野，若牧牛羊；使之不然，斷執死罪以下釋之，如此則止。非少歲色而少歲，其歲飢，百鬼不喜。”

Wu Xian said: The bright star should not descend but instead descends in the east, with a yellow color that is not bright, which is called "Shao Sui." When Shao Sui occurs, the movement and course become chaotic, leading to the common people fleeing in panic in the fields, like driven cattle and sheep. To prevent this, those sentenced to death and below should be reviewed and pardoned, thus the chaos will subside. If the color is not that of Shao Sui but is wrongly interpreted as such, there will be a year of famine, and the hundred spirits will not be pleased.

巫咸曰：“太白未可出西方而出西方，色白者名曰太白；有聚卒；使之不然，止工作，無聚眾，縱市三旬，以當有卒聚，如此則止。非太白色而太白，有兵。”巫咸曰：“太白未可出而出，國且有謀，過二十日，天下有兵事。”

Wu Xian said: The bright star should not appear in the west but does appear in the west, with a pure white color, which is called the "bright star" change; this indicates the gathering of soldiers. To prevent this from happening, stop construction projects, do not gather people, and open the market for thirty days to counteract the gathering of soldiers, and thus the chaos will subside. If the color is not truly white but is forcibly considered as white for divination, then there will be military affairs. Wu Xian also said: The bright star should not appear but does appear, indicating there will be conspiracy within the country. If it lasts more than twenty days, there will be military conflicts throughout the land.

巫咸曰：“太白未可下而下西方，色青白，名曰白肖；白肖亂行，且有甲兵搶攘，民惶惶，徭役以行，百神不享；使之無然，死人於市者勿葬，吏民三月，帶劍佩刀操兵，以當有兵，如此則止。非白肖色而白肖，有喪。”

Wu Xian said: The bright star should not descend but has descended in the west, with a pale white color, which is called "white appearance." If the white appearance moves erratically, there will be military disturbances, people in panic, frequent conscription, and the hundred spirits will not accept the offerings. To prevent this, those who are executed in the market should temporarily not be buried, and officials and common people should carry weapons for three months, using them to counter the military signs, thus the chaos will subside. If the color is not that of white appearance but is wrongly interpreted as such, there will be mourning.

《海中占》曰：“太白出，不上不下，留桑榆門，（晉灼曰：行遲而下也。）病其下國。”（巫咸曰：兵其下國。）班固《天文志》曰：“太白上而疾，未盡期，日過參天，（晉灼曰：參天者三分天過其一，此戍酉之間也）病其封國。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出王羸，百六十日，而上過參天，主尊，令行，民治，無盜賊，少徭賦。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出，上百六十日，不能參天；主卑、令不行，民亂，多盜賊，倍徭賦。”又占曰：“太白未滿日參天，其國亡。”又占曰：“太白以其時出陽，四十日不動，先起兵者，不利。”甘氏曰：“邦將亂謀，太白往守之。”

The Sea of Heaven Divination says: When the bright star appears and remains neither rising nor falling, lingering in the low sky between the regions of Sang and Yu, it indicates that the country beneath it will have troubles. Wu Xian says that this means there will be military conflicts in that country. Ban Gu's Records of the Han Dynasty says: When the bright star moves upward and its speed is too fast, it crosses the position of "Shen Tian" before the appointed time, and within one day it passes over that position. This indicates that the country it is over will have troubles. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the bright star appears, its appearance is strong but its form is thin, and it travels over one hundred and sixty celestial positions to cross the position of "Shen Tian," indicating that the ruler is respected, the government's orders are carried out, the people are well governed, there are no thieves, and the people's burdens are light. The Jingzhou Divination also says: When the bright star appears and after traveling for one hundred and sixty days it has not yet reached the position of "Shen Tian," it indicates that the ruler is weak, the government's orders are not carried out, the people rebel, there are many thieves, and the people's burdens are doubled. Another divination says: If the bright star reaches the position of "Shen Tian" before the expected number of days, the country will be destroyed. Another divination says: If the bright star appears at the proper time in the yang position and remains still for forty days, the one who moves first will suffer misfortune. Gan De says: If a country is about to have internal disturbances and conspiracies, the bright star will appear to guard over that region.

《荊州占》曰：“太白夕出西方，其旦昏當午，道無行人，其下之國，兵起不利，期六月。”《荊州占》曰：“太白夕出西方，其昏正月而還，有失地之君，期九十日。”石氏曰：“太白已出三日而復微入，三日乃復盛出，是謂懦而伏，其下之國，有軍，其眾敗，其將死。”石氏曰：“太白入三日而復微出，三日乃復盛入，其下國有憂，其師有糧遺人食，有兵草遣人用之；士卒雖眾，將軍為人所虜。”（班固《天文志》云：其下之國憂師，師雖眾，敵人食其糧，用其兵，虜其師。）

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the bright star appears in the west in the evening, and remains at noon position from morning until dusk, with no travelers on the road, it indicates that the country beneath it will mobilize its army, but it will be unfavorable. The period of this omen is six months. Zhongzhou Zhan also says: When the bright star appears in the west in the evening, and moves to the position corresponding to the first lunar month in the evening, then turns back, it indicates that the ruler of the country beneath it will lose territory. The period of this omen is ninety days. The Shi school says: When the bright star appears for three days and then slightly disappears, and after three more days it reappears fully, this is called "weak and hidden." If there is an army beneath it, the army will surely be defeated and the general will surely die. The Shi school also says: When the bright star disappears for three days and then slightly reappears, and after three more days it disappears completely, it indicates that the country beneath it will have troubles. The army's grain will be eaten by others, and its weapons and equipment will be used by others. Although the soldiers are numerous, the general will still be captured. (Original book note: Ban Gu's Han Shu, Tianwen Zhi says, the country beneath it will worry about its army. Although the army is numerous, the enemy will eat its grain, use its soldiers, and capture its generals.)

《文曜鉤》曰：“太白已入，三日復出，師憂將慮，主大遇。”（宋均曰：大遇，如衛卜追敵師，有夫出征而喪其雄，遇獲敵將也。遇或為愚。）《荊州占》曰：“太白巳出三日而復入，（《天文志》曰：復微也。）入三日而復出，（《天文志》曰：復盛也。）是謂逆伏，其下之國，有敗軍死將，不出其年；今日入，明日出，其君死之。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出西方，三日而反入，其將軍虜。”石氏曰：“太白入七日復出，相死；入十日復出，將軍戰死；入又復出，人君死。”

The Wenyao Gou says: When Tai Bai has already disappeared, and reappears three days later, it indicates military anxiety and concern among generals, while the sovereign will have great fortune. (Original commentary: Song Jun said that the term 'great fortune' is like the case of Wei's divination about pursuing the enemy, where the oracle said that a man would go to war and lose his strength, but in the end the enemy general was captured; some versions of the text use 'foolish' instead of 'fortune'.) The Jingzhou Divination says: When Tai Bai appears and then disappears three days later, (original commentary: The Han Shu·Astronomical Records says this is returning to dimness.) when it disappears three days later and reappears, (original commentary: The Han Shu·Astronomical Records says this is returning to brightness.) this is called 'reverse disappearance', indicating that the country below will have military defeat and generals dying, but this will not come true in the same year. If Tai Bai disappears today and reappears tomorrow, the sovereign of that country will die. The Jingzhou Divination also says: When Tai Bai appears in the west and then returns to disappear three days later, it indicates that the general will be captured. The Shi school says: When Tai Bai disappears for seven days and then reappears, it indicates the death of the prime minister; when it disappears for ten days and then reappears, it indicates the death of the general; if after disappearing it repeatedly appears and disappears, it indicates the death of the sovereign.

《荊州占》曰：“太白不滿其日數入，入而復出，入一日，十日而兵死；入五日，五十日而兵死；入十日，百日而兵死；當其日，以命其國。”《荊州占》曰：“太白已出，高二三丈，乍入乍見；如此三日、四日；不過五日，必有大戰。”《兵勢要秘術》曰：“太白出三日而復入，入三日乃出，其國有軍，軍敗，所謂出國；若是已國，戒勿動，有挑戰，勿應之；唯戒勿動；密嚴可也；軍出乃為動耳。”《文曜鉤》曰：“陰卑俯軍，相圖先戰，敗將見誅；又曰：上覆下，下復上，將反，天下駭擾。”《荊州占》曰：“太白不出一年，強國之君當之；不出二年，強國之君死之。”

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Tai Bai (the planet Jupiter) does not appear for the expected number of days and then disappears, and later reappears, if it disappears for one day, there will be soldiers dying in battle ten days later; if it disappears for five days, there will be soldiers dying fifty days later; if it disappears for ten days, there will be soldiers dying a hundred days later; by referring to the region corresponding to the day it disappears, one can determine which country will be affected. "Jingzhou Divination" also says: If Tai Bai appears, rises about two or three zhang high, then suddenly disappears and reappears again, continuing this for three, four, or at most five days, a major battle is certain to occur. "Bingshi Yaomi Shu" says: If Tai Bai appears for three days and then disappears, and reappears after three more days, it indicates that the country it appears over will have an army that will suffer defeat; this refers to the country sending out troops; if it is within the country itself, one should be on high alert and not take rash action, even if the enemy challenges, one should not engage in battle; one should only remain vigilant and secretly prepare defenses; once troops are sent out, that is considered "movement." "Wenyao Gou" says: If the negative energy is low and approaches the army, both sides will plot and fight first, the commander of the defeated side will be executed; it also says: those above will be below, and those below will be above, indicating that the general will rebel, causing chaos and alarm throughout the land. "Jingzhou Divination" says: If Tai Bai does not appear for a year, the disaster will be borne by the ruler of the powerful country; if it does not appear for two years, the ruler of the powerful country will die.

石氏曰：“凡太白不經天，若經天，天下革政，民更主，是謂亂紀，人民流亡。”（孟康曰：謂出東入西，出西入東也，太白陰星，出東當伏東，出西當伏西，過午為經天。晉灼曰：日陽也，日出則星亡；晝上午上為經天也。）石氏曰：“太白經天，見午上，秦國王，天下大亂。”

The Shi school says: Tai Bai is usually not "passing through the sky," but once it does, the state will undergo changes in its policies, the people will replace their ruler, which is called "disorder of the order." The people will be displaced and flee. (Note from the original text: Meng Kang says that "passing through the sky" refers to rising in the east and disappearing in the west, or rising in the west and disappearing in the east. Tai Bai is a yin star, so if it rises in the east, it should disappear in the east; if it rises in the west, it should disappear in the west. Crossing the position of Wu is called passing through the sky. Jin Zhu says that the Sun is a yang star, and after the sun rises, all the stars disappear. If Tai Bai rises to the position above Wu during the day, this is called passing through the sky.) The Shi school says: When Tai Bai passes through the sky and appears above the position of Wu, it indicates that a ruler from the state of Qin will rise to power, and the world will be in great turmoil.

《荊州占》曰：“太白晝見於午，名曰經天，是謂亂紀；天下亂，改政易王，人民流亡，棄其子，去其鄉里。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：宋後廢帝元微五年五月戊申，太白晝見午上，光明異常，宋順帝升明元年九月丁亥，太白在翼，晝見，經天，占曰：吏姓，後一年齊受禪之驗。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the bright star (Tai Bai) appears in the noon position during the day, it is called "passing across the sky," which is referred to as "disorder of the order." This signifies great chaos throughout the realm, changes in government decrees, the replacement of the ruling family, and the people wandering and abandoning their children, leaving their native villages and towns. (Original commentary: According to the *Song Shu · Astronomical Records*, in the fifth year of Wenyi of the Later废帝 of the Song dynasty, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the bright star appeared above the noon position during the day, its brightness being unusual. In the first year of Shengming of the Song Shun帝, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the bright star was in the Wing Mansion, visible during the day and passing across the sky. The divination text says this indicates a change in the ruling family (the original text says "change of surname"). The following year, the Xiao Qi dynasty succeeded the Song dynasty, which was the fulfillment of this prophecy.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白夕見，過午亦曰經天，有連頭斬死人，陰國兵強，王天下；女主用事，陽國不利。”《春秋元命包》曰：“殺失則攻戰刑；故太白逆經天，屠君父，外夷徵。”《京房對災異》曰：“人君薄恩無義，懦弱不勝任，則太白失度，經天則變；不救，則四邊大動，蠻貊侵也。”

The book Zhongjiao Zhan says: When Tai Bai appears in the evening and crosses the mid-heaven, it is called passing through the sky, indicating continuous beheading and execution, the country of the Yin side will have strong military power, and the general will rule the world; the female ruler will hold power, and the country of the Yang side will be unfavorable. The Spring and Autumn Yuan Meng Bao says: Inappropriate killing and punishment will lead to warfare and punishment; therefore, when Tai Bai movesretrograde and passes through the sky, it signifies the slaughter of the sovereign and father, and the invasion and conquest by foreign tribes. The Jing Fang Dialogue on Catastrophes and Anomalies says: If the ruler is ungrateful and lacks righteousness, weak and incapable, Tai Bai will lose its normal position; once it passes through the sky, there will be great changes; if not corrected, the four borders will be in great disorder, and the barbarians will take advantage to invade.

《春秋文曜鉤》曰：“太白經天，主失樞。”《春秋緯》曰：“彗守角，太白經天；金精之國虛，謀殺作兵。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“陽弱臣逆，則太白經天。”（陽弱，君宗弱；不堪為主也。）《孝經鉤命訣》曰：“天子失兵，則太白經天。”《洛書洛罪級》曰：“太白經天，不日桀侯代政。”

The Spring and Autumn Wen Yao Gou states: When the bright star passes across the sky, the sovereign loses his central authority. The Spring and Autumn Wei states: When a comet stays in the Horn mansion and the bright star passes across the sky, the country ruled by the metal element becomes empty, and there will be people plotting murder and inciting warfare. The Spring and Autumn Han Han Zi states: When the yang energy weakens and the ministers rebel, the bright star will pass across the sky. (Original note:所谓 yang weakness refers to the decline of the sovereign's clan, which is insufficient to be the ruler of the world.) The Xiao Jing Gou Ming Jue states: When the emperor loses his military power, the bright star will pass across the sky. The Luo Book Luo Zui Ji states: When the bright star passes across the sky, within a few days there will be rebellious feudal lords taking over the government.

巫咸曰：“太白晝見，而經天爭明；而兵起，天下驚，強國弱，女主有名。”《天官書》曰：“太白晝見經天，強國弱，弱國強，女主昌也。”巫咸曰：“太白當戶，其百八十日蚩尤出，兵且起，大將在野。”巫咸曰：“太白上中，天下有一主之命。”又占曰：“太白不發中而中；孟月見之，侯王當之；仲月見之，大將軍當之；季月見之，小民當之。”又占曰：“太白不當過中，是謂絕綱，四國兵起。”

Wu Xian said: Tai Bai is visible during the day, crossing the sky and competing with the Star of Brightness and Prestige for light; at this time, military affairs will arise, causing shock throughout the land, the strong country will turn weak, and the female ruler will become prominent. The Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Celestial Officials, says: When Tai Bai is visible during the day and crosses the sky, it indicates that the strong country will turn weak, the weak country will turn strong, and the female ruler will flourish. Wu Xian said: Tai Bai is in the position of the gate, and after 180 days, a type of demoniacal aura like the Chi You Flag will appear, signaling the outbreak of military affairs, with generals stationed in the open fields. Wu Xian also said: When Tai Bai rises to the middle of the sky, it signifies that the heavens have a mandate for the replacement of the ruler. Another divination says: Tai Bai should not reach the middle of the sky but does so; if seen in the first month, the disaster will fall upon the feudal princes; if seen in the second month, upon the great generals; if seen in the third month, upon the common people. Another divination says: Tai Bai should not cross the middle of the sky, but if it does, it is called 'cutting the loom,' indicating that all four directions' states will rise in arms.

《春秋緯運斗樞》曰：“太白赤芒，世有過，為大臣三公所乘，則太白經天，有此類，則亡引也。”《荊州占》曰：“太白經天，海內悲泣；九州搖動，奮兵負糧。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“陪臣行毒，諸謁向尊，則太白經天，主命凶。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of the Movement of the Pole Star says: When the star Tai Bai emits a red glow, it indicates that the world has committed errors and the authority of the sovereign is overpowered by the ministers and the Three Excellencies; in such a case, Tai Bai will appear across the sky, and such omens indicate that the state's destiny will not continue. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When Tai Bai appears across the sky, people throughout the land will mourn and weep; the nine provinces will be in turmoil, with everyone rising up to take up arms and carrying provisions. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of Differentiation of the Mail says: When the ministers carry out poisonous policies, and all those who seek favors and connections direct their ambitions toward the supreme position, Tai Bai will appear across the sky, indicating danger for the sovereign's fate.

《荊州占》曰：“太白再經天，一入中宮，天下更王，國破主絕，期不出三年。”（案班固《天文志》曰：秦二世即位，太白再經天，因以張楚並興，兵相跆藉，秦遂以亡。蘇林曰：跆音臺，登躡也，或作蹈。）

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet Tai Bai passes through the sky twice, and one of these times enters the Central Palace and the Purple微垣, it indicates that the country will change its ruler, the state will fall, and the lineage of the monarch will be cut off. This prediction will come true within three years. (Original note: According to Ban Gu's "Han Shu · Tianwen Zhi," when the Second Emperor of Qin came to power, the planet Tai Bai passed through the sky twice, and afterwards, the forces of "Zhang Chu" and other groups rose up, their armies clashed with each other, and the Qin dynasty thus fell. Su Lin said: "Tie" is read as "Tai," meaning to tread or trample, and it can also be written as "Dao.")

《荊州占》曰：“太白晨出東方，過食時而明，有兵，期四十日；若至日中而明，兵起將行，期三月。”《荊州占》曰：“太白晨出東方而中乃明，亡地之君在東方；若東北方，期六十日。”又占曰：“太白見東方，上至午，將奪君。”又曰：“陽國王當位者受之。”又占曰：“太白見東方，至丙巳之間，小將死；過午，有起霸者。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the star Tai Bai appears in the east in the early morning and remains bright after breakfast, it indicates military conflict, and the event will occur within forty days; if it is still bright at noon, it indicates that generals will go to war, and the event will occur within three months. Zhongzhou Zhuan also says: When Tai Bai appears in the east in the early morning and becomes bright until the Star of Intelligence, it indicates that a king who has lost his territory is located in the east; or if it appears in the northeast, the event will occur within sixty days. Another divination says: When Tai Bai appears in the east and moves upward to the position of Wu, it indicates that a general will seize the throne. It also says: This calamity should be borne by the king who is in the proper position in the country of the Yang direction. Another divination says: When Tai Bai appears in the east and moves to between the position of Bing and Si, it indicates the death of a subordinate general; if it passes the position of Wu, then a hegemon will rise.

《荊州占》曰：“太白出，高至巳午之間；士卒勞，有不利軍者，難以得功也。”又占曰：“太白出西方，上至未，陰國有霸者；若過未及午，陰國王令天下；一曰至午者，陰國王者，當其位者受之。”陳卓曰：“太白從西方，若東方，上至午，皆為有兵。”《荊州占》曰：“太白上至午未間，天下易王，陽國兵強，當其位者受之。”又占曰：“太白始出辰巳間，為荊楚，正巳殺大將；出午，天下有亡國；出午未間，天下亡王者昌。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the bright star appears, rising high between the Si and Wu positions, it indicates that soldiers are exhausted and there are adverse events within the army, making it difficult to achieve military success. Another divination says: When the bright star appears in the west and rises to the Wei position, it signifies that a hegemon will emerge from the Yin region; if it crosses the Wei position and reaches the Wu position, the king of the Yin region will command the world. Another account says that if it reaches the Wu position, the Yin region will have a king, who will be properly positioned. Chen Zhuo says: When the bright star rises from the west or the east to the Wu position, it indicates military affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When the bright star rises between the Wu and Wei positions, it indicates a change of kings throughout the world, with the Yang region's military strength being strong, and the proper person will inherit the position. Another divination says: When the bright star first appears between the Chen and Si positions, it refers to the Jiangchu region; if it is properly positioned at the Si position, it will kill a general; if it appears at the Wu position, there will be the fall of a country; if it appears between the Wu and Wei positions, although there will be the fall of a country, the person who rises to become king will be prosperous.

《荊州占》曰：“太白晝見，與日爭光，是謂經天，大亂十年，人民流亡，去其鄉；女主昌，執政；近日國，必有喪；日中而見，事必然。”司馬彪《天文志》曰：“太白晝見經天，為兵喪，在大人。”（案檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武太元三年九月，太白晝見在角，五年九月癸未，皇后王氏崩，十二年六月癸卯，太白晝見經天在柳，十月庚午，太白晝見在斗，十三年正月、內左將軍康樂公謝玄薨，十四年妖賊鄧黎稱號皇丘，劉牢之滅之。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Tai Bai is visible during the day and crosses the sky, this is called "jing tian," which signifies a great turmoil lasting ten years, with people wandering and leaving their homes; the female ruler will flourish and take control of the government; the country located near the direction ruled by the sun will certainly experience mourning; if it is seen at noon, the event will certainly come to pass. *Sima Biao's* *Continued Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena* says: When Tai Bai is visible during the day and crosses the sky, it presages military calamities and mourning, and the disaster will affect great figures. (Original notes: According to *Tan Daoluan's* *Jingyang Chou*, in the third year of Taowu of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, September, Tai Bai was visible during the day in the Horn mansion; in the ninth month of the fifth year of Taowu, on the Guiwei day, the queen consort Wang died. In the sixth month of the twelfth year of Taowu, on the Guimao day, Tai Bai was visible during the day and crossed the sky, located in the Willow mansion; on the Gengwu day in October, Tai Bai was visible during the day in the Dipper mansion; in January of the thirteenth year, General Kangle Gong Xie Xuan died; in the fourteenth year, the bandit Deng Li usurped the title of king in Huangqiu and was defeated by Liu Laozi.)

甘氏曰：“太白晝見，天子有喪，天下更王，大亂，是謂經天，有亡國，百姓皆流亡。”（案司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝安永初元年六月辛丑，太白晝見，經天，延光元年三月癸巳、鄧太后崩，孝順永和五年四月戊午，太白晝見，其六年，大將軍梁商薨。九江丹陽賊周生馬勉等起兵，攻沒郡縣，梁氏又專權於漢廷，孝順漢安二年正月巳亥，太白晝見，七月甲申太白晝見，明年順帝崩，孝沖即位，明年正月又崩，韋昭《洞紀》曰：桓帝元嘉元年二月，太白晝見，永興元年二月，太白晝見，其年夏月，河水溫，漂殺人，百姓飢窮，流移道路，數十萬戶。《宋書天文志》曰：魏黃初四年六月甲申，太白晝見，五年十月乙卯。太白又晝見，時孫權受魏爵號，而稱兵拒守，七年五月，文帝崩，八月，吳國江夏，冠襄陽，魏江夏太守，文聘固守得全，將軍司馬懿救襄陽，斬吳將張霸。晉惠永康元年三月，太白晝見，占曰：為不臣。晉孝武太元七年十一月，太白晝見在斗中，八年四月甲子，太白又晝見在參，九年六月，皇太后褚氏崩也。）

Gan De, a star diviner from the Warring States period, said: "Taibai" refers to the planet Venus, which belongs to the Metal element in the Five Phases. In celestial phenomena, it presages war and punishment. When seen in the east in the morning, it is called "Qiming," and when seen in the west in the evening, it is called "Changgeng." Normally, during the day, the sunlight is so bright that stars should not be visible, but Venus appears in the daytime, which is a sign that the emperor will have a death, the country will change its ruler, and great chaos will occur. This celestial phenomenon is called "Jing Tian," indicating a country's downfall and the people will be displaced and flee. (Original book note: According to Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han: Records of Astronomy," in the sixth month of the first year of Yongchou of Emperor Han An Di, on the day of Xinchou, Venus appeared in the daytime and spanned the sky; by the third month of Yanyang of the same year, Deng太后 died. In the fourth month of the fifth year of Yonghe of Emperor Han Shun Di, Venus appeared in the daytime; by the sixth year, General Liang Shang died, and rebels Zhou Sheng and Ma Mian in Jiujiang and Danyang rose up, capturing counties. The Liang family again held power in the Han court. In the first month of the second year of Han An Di, on the day of Jihai, Venus appeared in the daytime; on the seventh month of the same year, Venus appeared again in the daytime; the next year, Emperor Han Shun Di died, and Emperor Chong Di succeeded the throne, and the following year, Emperor Chong Di also died. Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji" said: In the second year of Yuanjia of Emperor Huan Di, Venus appeared in the daytime; in the first year of Yongxing, Venus appeared again in the daytime, and that summer the Yellow River water became hot, drowning people, and the people were hungry and poor, with hundreds of thousands of households fleeing on the roads. The "Book of Song: Records of Astronomy" said: In the sixth month of the fourth year of Huangchu of the Cao Wei dynasty, on the day of Jia Shen, Venus appeared in the daytime; in the tenth month of the fifth year of the same year, Venus appeared again in the daytime. At that time, Sun Quan had already accepted the title and rank granted by the Wei dynasty, but he raised an army to resist. In the fifth month of the seventh year, Emperor Wen of Wei died; in the eighth month, Wu attacked Jiangxia and invaded Xiangyang. The governor of Jiangxia, Wen Cheng, defended the city and preserved it. General Sima Yi came to relieve Xiangyang and killed Wu general Zhang Ba. In the third month of the first year of Yongkang of Emperor Jin Hui Di, Venus appeared in the daytime. The divination said this was an omen of ministers not following their duties. In the seventh year of Taoyuan of Emperor Jin Xiaowu Di, in November, Venus appeared in the Dou mansion; in the fourth month of the eighth year, on the day of Jiazi, Venus appeared again in the Shen mansion; in the sixth month of the ninth year, the Empress Dowager Chu died.)

《荊州占》曰：“太白晝見，名曰昭明，強國弱，弱國霸，兵大起，期不出年。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：晉孝武太元七年十一月，太白晝見在斗，八年四月甲子太白又晝見在參，是月，桓沖徵沔漠，楊亮伐蜀，並拔城略地，八月苻堅自將兵，號百萬，九月攻沒壽陽，十月劉牢之破堅將梁成，斬之，殺獲萬餘人，謝玄等又破堅於肥水，斬其弟融，堅大眾奔潰，九年八月，謝玄出屯彭城，經略中州，十年八月，苻堅為其將姚萇所殺，十一年二月戊申，太白又晝見在東井，十二年慕容垂冠東阿，翟遼冠河上，姚萇假號安定，苻登自立隴上，呂光竊據涼，十二年十月庚午，太白晝見，又在斗，自是慕容垂，翟遼，姚萇，苻登，慕容永並阻兵爭強，十四年正月，彭城妖賊又稱號於皇丘，劉牢之攻破，滅之，三月張道破合鄉，圍太山，向欽之擊走之，是年翟遼又攻榮陽、侵略陳項，於時政事多弊、治道陵遲也。）

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the planet Venus appears in the daytime, this celestial phenomenon is also known as "Zhao Ming," indicating that a strong country will weaken while a weak country will dominate, and large-scale warfare will arise, with the fulfillment of this omen occurring within no more than one year. (Original commentary: According to the "Song Shu · Astronomical Records," in the seventh year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty's Taoyuan era, November, Venus appeared in the daytime in the Dipper mansion; on the fourth month of the eighth year, on the day of Jiazi, Venus again appeared in the daytime in the Three Stars mansion. In that same month, Huan Chong led his troops to the Miaoshui area, and Yang Liang launched an attack on Shu, both capturing cities and seizing land. In August, Fu Jian personally led his army, claiming a force of a million; in September, he captured Shouyang; in October, Liu Laozi defeated Fu Jian's general Liang Cheng and killed him, killing and capturing over ten thousand people; Xie Xuan and others then defeated Fu Jian at the Bishui River, killing Fu Jian's brother Fu Rong, and Fu Jian's army scattered and fled. In August of the ninth year, Xie Xuan led his troops to occupy Pengcheng and operated in the Central Plains. In August of the tenth year, Fu Jian was killed by his general Yao Chang. On the second month of the eleventh year, on the day of Wu Shen, Venus again appeared in the daytime in the Well mansion. In the twelfth year, Murong Chui invaded Dong'e, Zhai Liao invaded the Yellow River region, Yao Chang proclaimed himself emperor in Dingxiang, and Fu Deng proclaimed himself emperor in Longshang, and Lü Guang seized control of Liangzhou. On the tenth month of the twelfth year, on the day of Gengwu, Venus again appeared in the daytime in the Dipper mansion. From then on, Murong Chui, Zhai Liao, Yao Chang, Fu Deng, and Murong Yong all held armies and seized territories, competing for dominance. In the first month of the fourteenth year, another band of rebels in Pengcheng proclaimed themselves emperor at Huangqiu, and Liu Laozi led his troops to attack and destroy them; in March, Zhang Dao defeated Hejiang and besieged Taishan, while Xiang Qin attacked and drove him away; that year, Zhai Liao again attacked Xingyang, invading Chenjun and Xiangcheng. During this period, the court had many corrupt practices, and the way of governing the country gradually declined.)

巫咸曰：“太白晝見，是謂陰明，來年強國有喪。”（宋孝武太元二十年七月，太白連晝見在太微，二十一年三月，太白連晝見在羽林，二十一年七月武帝崩。）司馬彪《天文志》曰：“太白晝見，為強臣爭。”（《宋書天文志》曰：魏明帝青龍三年十月壬申，太白晝見在尾，歷二百餘日，恆見，占曰：尾為燕，燕臣強，有兵。四年三月巳巳，太白與月俱在丙晝見，積二百八十餘日，是時公孫淵自立為燕王，署置百官發兵距，司馬懿討滅之。韋昭《洞記》曰：漢安帝永初二年正月，太白晝見，漢陵河陽失殺，三千五百七十人，五月旱，三年京師人相食。司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝順永和三年三月壬子，太白晝見，六月丙午，太白晝見，八月乙卯，太白晝見，閏月乙卯，太白晝見。太白，將軍之官，又為西州晝見，陰盛與君爭明，此時將軍梁商父子秉勢，故太白常晝見。）

Wu Xian said: When the planet Venus appears in the daylight, this is called "Yinming," meaning that a yin star appears in the light, indicating that there will be mourning in a powerful country the following year. (Original book note: This entry is titled "Song Xiaowu" but uses the era name "Taiyuan." Taiyuan was actually the era name of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin dynasty. In the twentieth year of Taiyuan, July, Venus appeared in the Taiwei constellation during the day; in the twenty-first year, March, Venus appeared in the Yulin during the day; in the twenty-first year, July, Emperor Xiaowu died.) Sima Biao's "Continued Han Book · Astronomical Records" said: When Venus appears in the daylight, it indicates a minister who is strong and arrogant will contend with the sovereign for power. (Original book note: The "Song Book · Astronomical Records" said that in the third year of Qinglong of Emperor Ming of Wei, on the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, Venus appeared in the Tail mansion during the day and remained visible for more than two hundred days. The divination text said that the Tail mansion corresponds to the Yan region, indicating that the power of Yan officials is strong and there will be military affairs. On the ninth day of the third lunar month of the fourth year, Venus and the moon appeared together in the Bing position during the day, remaining visible for more than two hundred eighty days. At that time, Gongsun Yuan proclaimed himself King of Yan, set up officials, raised an army to resist, and Sima Yi led an army to attack and defeated him. Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji" said: In the second year of Yongchu of Emperor Han An Di, in the first lunar month, Venus appeared in the daylight, causing chaos, deaths, and injuries of three thousand five hundred and seventy people in Han Ling and Heyang areas. In May, there was a great drought. In the third year, the capital saw people eating each other. Sima Biao's "Continued Han Book · Astronomical Records" said: In the third year of Yonghe of Emperor Shun Di of Han, on the ninth day of the third lunar month, Venus appeared in the daylight; on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Venus appeared in the daylight; on the second day of the eighth lunar month, Venus appeared in the daylight; on the second day of the intercalary month, Venus appeared in the daylight again. Venus in the heavenly official system is the position of general, and it also governs the western state. When it appears in the daylight, it indicates excessive yin energy, which will contend with the sovereign for brightness. At that time, General Liang Shang and his son were controlling power, so Venus frequently appeared in the daylight.)

巫咸曰：“太白下，為壯公止於山林。”（案《風俗通》云：東立朔者，太白星精，黃帝時為風后，堯時為務成子，周時為老聃，在越為范蠡，在齊為鴟夷，言其神聖，能興王霸之業，變化無常。《列仙傳》及《漢武故事》並云：朔是歲星精。應劭云：是太白精。）《荊州占》曰：“太白赤圓，大而光，期不出九十日，大兵起。”石氏曰：“太白圓大，怒而赤，天下有兵，盛而不戰。”巫咸曰：“太白出而大，兵革將興，旌旗相望，兩敵相當，大將行。”甘氏曰：“太白獨行赤，則十五日戰，從芒之所指而擊者勝。”《荊州占》曰：“太白大而芒角，色青白，若芙蓉，置竿有影，歲大熟，主壽，將益祿，以戰勝守固。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Venus is low in the sky, it indicates that a noble and capable marquis will retreat into the mountains and forests. (Note from the original text: According to the "Fengsu Tong," Dongfang Shuo is said to be the spirit of Venus. In the time of the Yellow Emperor, he transformed into Feng Hou; in the time of Yao, he became Wucheng Zi; in the Zhou dynasty, he became Lao Dan; in the state of Yue, he was Fan Li; and in the state of Qi, he was Chi Yi Zi Pi. This suggests that he is a divine and extraordinary figure, capable of achieving the success of a king or hegemon, and his form is ever-changing. Both the "Lie Xian Zhuan" and the "Han Wu Gushi" say that Dongfang Shuo is the spirit of Jupiter, while Ying Shao says he is the spirit of Venus.) The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When Venus is red and round, large in size and bright, its duration does not exceed ninety days, and there will be a large-scale war. Shi Shen said: When Venus is round and large, with a red, fierce light, it indicates that there will be warfare in the world, but although the military strength is strong, there will be no actual combat. Wu Xian said: When Venus appears and is large in size, warfare will arise, with armies facing each other from a distance, both sides equally matched, and generals will be sent out on campaigns. Gan De said: When Venus moves alone and is red, there will be warfare within fifteen days, and the side that attacks in the direction indicated by the planet's bright edge will win. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When Venus is large and has a bright edge, with a color of green and white, bright and clean like a lotus flower, and when a pole is raised it can cast a shadow, it indicates that the harvest of grain will be abundant in the current year, the ruler will live a long life, generals will receive increased salaries, and in warfare, the army will win, and in defense, the position will be secure.

《荊州占》曰：“太白當效而出，色白，西方利。”《荊州占》曰：“太白當效而出，色黑，北方利。”又占曰：“太白當效而出，色赤，為兵不足傷。”《荊州占》曰：“太白色白，又曰白甚，春有喪。”又占曰：“太白始出，赤而大，其年有兵。”又占曰：“太白色赤，有憂；又曰其色赤，國失兵，將死。”甘氏曰：“太白始出大而後小，其國兵弱；始出小而後大，其國兵強。”《荊州占》曰：“太白出小而後大，大兵起；東方為陽國，西方為陰國；又曰始出微細不明，後大而光者，戰兵初弱、後勝。”《荊州占》曰：“太白始出大而後小，出東方，為陽國；出西方，為陰國；又曰始出大而生光，後小不明，戰，兵初勝後亡。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the planet Venus appears at the proper time, it appears white, which is favorable for the west. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan also says: When the planet Venus appears at the proper time, it appears black, which is favorable for the north. Another divination says: When the planet Venus appears at the proper time, it appears red, indicating that although military conflicts may arise, they will not cause serious harm. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the planet Venus appears white, another interpretation says it appears overly white, indicating mourning in spring. Another divination says: When the planet Venus first appears red and large, there will be military conflicts in that year. Another divination says: When the planet Venus appears red, there will be worries; another says when the planet Venus appears red, the country will suffer losses in military strength and generals will die. Gan De says: When the planet Venus first appears large and then becomes smaller, the country's military strength is weak; when it first appears small and then becomes larger, the country's military strength is strong. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the planet Venus first appears small and then becomes larger, it indicates the outbreak of large-scale warfare; if it appears in the east, it will be verified in the yang country; if it appears in the west, it will be verified in the yin country; another says when the planet Venus first appears faint and then becomes larger and shines brightly, during warfare the military strength starts weak but eventually wins. The book Zhongzhou Zhuan says: When the planet Venus first appears large and then becomes smaller, if it appears in the east, it will be verified in the yang country; if it appears in the west, it will be verified in the yin country; another says when the planet Venus first appears large and shines brightly and then becomes smaller and faint, during warfare the military strength starts victorious but eventually suffers defeat.

巫咸曰：“太白出小，有城其將不能守，有兵而不戰。”又占曰：“太白微小不明，天下盜賊多，不明亮者，所居之國尤甚。”《荊州占》曰：“太白小，色黑、角短、歲熟；一曰飢旱；主卑，將軍辱，戰不勝。”石氏曰：“太白小，以角動，兵起。”郗萌曰：“太白小，以角動，不出三年，中央兵起。”巫咸曰：“太白出西方，小而圓，（《荊州占》曰：“或小而高。”）敢戰，吉；不敢戰，凶。西方北方以舉兵，天下不能當；黃昏出，陰國之兵強。”巫咸曰：“太白傍有小星，數寸若尺，期八日，邊城有功。”《荊州占》曰：“太白色赤小以動；天下出兵，大將失地，以歸之，兵起。”巫咸曰：“太白夕出西方，以八月四日侯之，傍有小星附之，若去之尺餘至二尺，客軍大敗，有死將；軍在外傍有小星，去之尺，軍罷。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Venus appears, if it is small in size, it indicates that the general defending the city will not be able to hold the city, even though there are many soldiers, they cannot go out to fight. Another divination says: When Venus is faint and indistinct, it indicates there will be many bandits across the country; when the starlight is especially dim, the country corresponding to it will have the most serious bandit problems. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Venus is small in size, black in color, and has a shortpointed rays, it indicates a good harvest; another interpretation says it indicates famine and drought; it also indicates the ruler is weak in position, generals are disgraced, and battles cannot be won. Shi Shen said: When Venus is small in size and itspointed rays shakes, it indicates military actions will arise. Xi Meng said: When Venus is small in size and itspointed rays shakes, there will be military actions in the Central Plains within three years. Wu Xian said: When Venus appears in the west, small in size and round (the original note from "Jingzhou Divination" says: some versions say "small in size and high in position"), if one dares to fight at this time, it is auspicious; if one does not dare to fight, it is ominous; if armies raise their banners in the west and north at this time, no one in the world can resist them; if Venus appears in the evening, it indicates the country of yin has strong military power. Wu Xian said: When Venus has a small star accompanying it, and the distance between them is a few inches to a foot, the period is eight days, and the border cities will have military achievements. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Venus is red in color, small in size, and shaking, it indicates military actions across the country, the great generals lose their territories and submit to others, and then military actions will arise. Wu Xian said: When Venus appears in the west in the evening, and on the fourth day of the eighth month, if there is a small star accompanying it, and the distance between them is more than a foot to two feet, the armies of both sides will suffer a great defeat, and generals will die in battle; when the army is outside, if Venus has a small star accompanying it, and the distance between them is a foot, the army will disband and cease fighting.

郗萌曰：“太白流，國有兵將死。”石氏曰：“太白動搖，進退左右，用兵吉，靜凶。太白圍，以靜用兵，靜吉；躁凶。”《荊州占》曰：“太白大而角，搖居不安，東西南北，乍上乍下，如欲驚者，其年有喪，大小必至。”郗萌曰：“太白與宿星斗，不出一年，有失國之君；將失位。”《荊州占》曰：“太白與列星斗，兵弱，為客有利。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Venus moves unpredictably, indicating that the country will have military conflicts and generals will die. Shi Shen said: When the planet Venus wavers, advancing and retreating, moving left and right, it is auspicious to take action, but disadvantageous to remain inactive; if Venus is surrounded by a halo, it is advantageous to remain still and take action cautiously, while rash advancement will be dangerous. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Venus is large and has a sharp edge, shaking and moving east and west, south and north, up and down, as if startled, it indicates there will be mourning in the same year, regardless of whether it is a major or minor mourning, it will certainly occur. Xi Meng said: When Venus conflicts with the stars of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the ruler will lose territory within a year, and generals will also lose their positions. The "Jingzhou Divination" said: When Venus conflicts with the stars of the constellations, it indicates that the native forces are weak, and it is advantageous for the opposing forces.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白生為氣而白穰，明日大風，發屋折木，道上無厭，不出五日，粟大貴五倍，不出年中，有兵；歲多大霧，傷五穀，婦人多災傷其子者，不過十月而止。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白生穰，氣長三丈；若六丈，大風雨，兵起，所指處，天下民主俱驚。”（丈或作尺。）《孝經右秘》曰：“太白垂冠，天下亂，臣下叛。”甘氏曰：“太白之為雲，如林、如杖、如杵，皆兵喪俱起，期二月。”巫咸曰：“太白白暈，天下赦，有喪，有喜；不出二十日，且失國，失兵。”郗萌曰：“太白出彗西南維，中國民受兵、亡地，不出二年。”石氏曰：“太白出帚西北維，胡狄受兵，不出一年，亡地。”石氏曰：“太白出帚西南維，候中國民，為多受兵、亡地，不過一年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Venus produces a white cloud-like appearance called "Rang" (which is a kind of scattered, straw-like vapor), there will be a strong wind the next day, which will overturn roofs, break trees, and leave no one safe on the roads. Within five days, the price of millet will rise fivefold. Within this year, there will be military conflicts. This year will also have heavy fog, damaging the five grains. Women will suffer misfortunes that harm their children. This situation will cease by October. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When Venus produces the Rang cloud, if the cloud reaches three zhang in length, it indicates a great wind and rain, and military conflicts will arise. The area where the cloud points to will cause fear among the people and rulers throughout the land. (Original note: Some versions read "chi" instead of "zhang.") The Right Secret of the Xiaojing says: When Venus is covered by a crown-like cloud above it, it indicates great chaos and rebellion among the ministers. Gan De says: When Venus produces clouds that resemble trees, staffs, or wooden mallets, it indicates that both military conflicts and funerals will occur, within two months. Wu Xian says: When Venus has a white halo around it, it indicates a great amnesty throughout the land. There will be both mourning and celebration. Within twenty days, the country will be lost and military strength will be reduced. Xi Meng says: When Venus produces a comet-like cloud in the southwest direction, it indicates that the people of the Central Plains will suffer military disasters and lose land, and this will be fulfilled within two years. Shi Shen says: When Venus produces a broom-like cloud in the northwest direction, it indicates that the Hu and Di people will suffer military disasters, and within one year they will lose land. Shi Shen also says: When Venus produces a broom-like cloud in the southwest direction, it indicates that the people of the Central Plains will suffer many military disasters and lose land, and this will be fulfilled within one year.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白犯左角，大戰不勝，將軍死。”《海中占》曰：“太白犯右角，將軍有憂，若兵起；一曰有旱災。”石氏曰：“太白入左角，天子憂，諸侯用事。太白逆行左角間，有刺客，天子明慎之。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白乘左角，群臣有謀不成，其以家坐罪。”（案《宋書天文志》曰：魏嘉平五年六月戊午，太白犯角。正元元年，李豐等謀亂，悉誅之。）郗萌曰：“太白乘左角，為水、兵。”石氏曰：“太白乘左角，天子游獵，冬吉。太白俠左角，大臣退，國亡。”郗萌曰：“太白犯守角，道路不通。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白守右角，五穀不成，歲大水。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Venus invades the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates a great battle that cannot be won, and the general will die. The Divination of the Sea says: When Venus invades the right star of the Horn mansion, it indicates that the general will have troubles or there will be military actions; another interpretation suggests there will be a drought. Shi Shen says: When Venus enters the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates the emperor will have worries and the feudal lords will seize power; when Venus retrogrades between the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates there will be assassins, and the emperor should be cautious and vigilant. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Venus overtakes the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates that ministers have secret plots which will not succeed, and they will be punished along with their families. (Original note: According to the Records of the Song Dynasty's Astronomical Records, in the fifth year of Wei's Jiaping era, on the fifth day of the sixth month, Venus invaded the Horn mansion; in the first year of Zhengyuan, Li Feng and others plotted rebellion and were all executed.) Xi Meng says: When Venus overtakes the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates floods and military actions. Shi Shen says: When Venus overtakes the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates the emperor will go hunting outside, which is auspicious in winter; when Venus is between the left star of the Horn mansion, it indicates ministers will be dismissed and the country will perish.

The Gan school says: When Venus intrudes upon the Eunuch star, it signifies that the ministers assisting the sovereign are secretly plotting, or may suffer death by violence. The fulfillment of this omen will occur within a year.

石氏曰：“太白守斗星者，凶。”

The Shi school says: The planet Venus stops at the 'Dou Star' and does not depart—this Dou refers to the five stars of the Dou constellation within the Tianshi垣, which governs weighing and measuring, and is distinct from the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper—this is an omen of danger.

石氏曰：“太白守宗正，左右群臣多死者；若更政令，人主有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus stops at 'Zongzheng' — which refers to two stars located to the southeast of the Imperial Seat, officials in charge of royal family affairs — it indicates that many ministers close to the monarch will die; or that government orders are frequently changed, causing the monarch to be anxious.

石氏曰：“太白犯宗人，親族貴人憂，若有死者；一曰主親有離絕。”

The Shi school says: The planet Venus offending the "Zongren" stars — the four Zongren stars are located east of Zongzheng, governing the rituals and hierarchy of the royal family — indicates anxiety or death among noblemen within the royal clan; another interpretation is that there will be discord and estrangement among the king's relatives.

甘氏曰：“太白犯守宗星，宗室之臣，有分離者。”《玄冥占》曰：“太白觸抵宗星，倖臣有誅者，期二年。”

The Gan school says: The planet Venus offends and halts at the 'Zong Star' — the two Zong stars are located east of the waiting star, symbolizing branches of the royal family — indicating that among ministers of royal lineage, there will be someone who is separated and estranged. The "Xuanming Divination" states: When Venus collides with and offends the Zong Star, it signifies that among favored ministers, someone will be executed. This prediction is fulfilled within two years.

石氏曰：“太白守東西咸，女主憂誅，若貴女有戮死，期二年。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守東西咸，憂兵起。”石氏曰：“太白守犯東西咸者，為臣不從令，有陰私。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus stops at "Dong Xian" and "Xi Xian"—each consisting of four stars, located above the Room Mansion, serving as a gate to prevent licentiousness—it indicates that a female ruler will be anxious and face execution, or a woman of high status will be killed. This occurs within a period of two years. The Jiangzhou Divination says: When the planet Venus stops at Dong Xian and Xi Xian, it signifies anxiety over military conflicts. The Shi school also says: When the planet Venus stops and intrudes upon Dong Xian and Xi Xian, it indicates that ministers will not obey the king's orders and will secretly engage in private affairs.

陳卓曰：“太白守天江，暴水為害，不出其年。”巫氏曰：“太白犯守天江，天下有水；若入之，水齊城郭，人飢亡，去其鄉。”（《宋書天文志》：晉穆帝永和十一年八月巳未，太白犯天江，占曰：河津不通，昇平元年，慕容遂臨漳有幽並青冀之地，緣河諸將漸奔散，津河隔絕矣。）

Chen Zhuo said: The planet Venus stopping at "Tianjiang" — Tianjiang consists of four stars located north of the Tail mansion, governing rivers and ferry crossings — indicates a flood causing disaster, but this prediction did not come true in the same year. Wu Shi said: If the planet Venus offends and stops at Tianjiang, it signifies a great flood occurring throughout the land; if Venus enters Tianjiang, great waters will reach the level of city walls, people will suffer from famine and be forced to leave their homeland. A note in the original text cites the "Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi": In the eighth month of the tenth year of Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty's Yonghe era, on the day of Ji Wei, the planet Venus offended Tianjiang, and the divination text predicted that the ferry crossings of the Yellow River would become impassable; by the first year of Shengping, the Murong clan controlled Linzhang, taking over the regions of You, Bing, Qing, and Ji, and the commanders defending along the Yellow River successively fled and dispersed, and the ferry crossings of the Yellow River were thus cut off.

陳卓曰：“太白犯建星，大臣相譖。”郗萌曰：“太白入建星，外國使來見主；出建星，主遣使至國，期皆三十日。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白守建星，滿二十日，必大赦。”巫咸曰：“太白入建星，若守之，兵起，關道不通；若有外國使來者，期一年。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the planet Venus offends the "Jian Star"—which consists of six stars located north of the Southern Dipper, representing the heavenly capital, symbolizing banners and gates—it indicates that ministers will slander each other. Xi Meng said: When Venus enters the Jian Star, it signifies that envoys from foreign countries will come to pay homage to the sovereign; when Venus leaves the Jian Star, it indicates that the sovereign will send envoys to other countries. Both situations will manifest within thirty days. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When Venus remains stationary in the Jian Star for twenty days, a great amnesty will certainly be proclaimed. Wu Xian said: When Venus enters the Jian Star or remains stationary there, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts and the blocking of passes and roads; or it may signify the arrival of foreign envoys, and the fulfillment of these omens will take one year.

甘氏曰：“太白犯天弁，若守之，則囚徒兵起；一曰五穀不成，糴大貴，人民飢。”

The Gan school says: The planet Venus offends the "Tian Bian" - the Tian Bian consists of nine stars located north of the Jian star, representing the hats worn by officials in charge of markets, governing market transactions - if Venus further stops there, it indicates prisoners' riots and the outbreak of military conflicts; another interpretation is that there will be a poor harvest of grain, with the price of grain rising sharply, leading the people into famine.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白犯河鼓，大將若左右將有誅者，若有罪，以五色占之。”石氏曰：“太白入河鼓，兵大起，大將出；若守之，所犯之將誅，期二年。”郗萌曰：“太白守河鼓，兵起，期六十日。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Venus offends the "He Gu" star cluster — the He Gu consists of three stars located north of the Niou constellation, with the central star being the Grand General, and the two side stars being the Left General and the Right General — it indicates that a general or one of the left or right generals will be executed or punished. To determine which specific person is affected, one should observe the five colors displayed by Venus. The Shi school says: When Venus enters the He Gu, it signifies a large-scale military campaign and the departure of the main general. If Venus remains stationary, the general who is offended will be executed, and this will come to pass within two years. Xi Meng says: When Venus remains stationary in the He Gu, it indicates the outbreak of military affairs, and this will come to pass within sixty days.

石氏曰：“太白犯離珠，宮中有事；若有亂宮者，宮人有罪黜者。”巫咸曰：“太白犯離珠。有兵起，後宮凶，女主有憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus invades the position of the "Li zhu" (Fire pearl), which is located north of Xunü and represents the jewels and ornaments used by the female ruler, it indicates incidents occurring within the palace; or that there is disorder within the palace, and some palace attendants are punished and demoted. Wu Xian says: When Venus invades the position of the Li zhu, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts, calamity befalling the inner court, and the female ruler will be troubled by worries.

《玄冥占》曰：“太白守匏瓜，人主誅邑族；若有兵；一曰王者以果賜諸侯。”《聖洽符》曰：“太白犯守匏瓜，天下有憂；若有遊兵，名果貴；一曰魚鹽貴，價十倍，不出其年。”

The *Xuanming Zhan* says: When the planet Venus halts at "Paojia" — Paojia consists of five stars located north of Li Zhu — it indicates that the ruler will punish the clans of the vassal states, or there will be military affairs; another interpretation suggests that the king will reward the vassals with precious fruits. The *Shengqia Fu* says: When Venus intrudes and halts at Paojia, it signifies that the world will face worries; or there will be scattered soldiers causing banditry, and the price of rare fruits will rise; another interpretation suggests that the prices of fish and salt will increase tenfold, but this prophecy did not come true in the same year.

《海中占》曰：“太白犯天津，關道絕不通，有兵起；若關吏憂。”《文曜鉤》曰：“太白入天津，兵起大亂，以其所近，四方中央，死而葬，易政立王。”齊伯曰：“太白守天津，兵起，有亡國，期一年，遠二年。”石氏曰：“太白有赤芒，而守天津三十日，關道不度，人主有憂，若諸侯。”

The Sea of Divination says: When the planet Venus encroaches upon "Tianjin"—which refers to nine stars spanning across the Milky Way, serving as a bridge for crossing rivers—it indicates that key passageways and roads will be cut off, leading to military calamities; or officials in charge of border crossings will face worries. The Wenyaogou says: When Venus enters Tianjin, it foretells large-scale military conflicts and chaos. According to the position of the nearby stars, whether they belong to the four directions or the center, one can determine where the disaster will occur, involving deaths and funerals, and changes in the ruling power and the establishment of a new ruler. Qi Bei says: When Venus remains stationary at Tianjin, it signifies the outbreak of military affairs, possibly leading to the downfall of a state, with the event occurring within a year, or up to two years if it is more distant. The Shi school says: When Venus appears with a red halo and remains at Tianjin for thirty days, it indicates that key passageways and river crossings will be blocked, the sovereign will have worries, or the issue will affect the feudal lords.

甘氏曰：“太白守螣蛇，天子前螣凶，奸臣有謀，前螣為害。”《玄冥占》曰：“太白守螣蛇，諸侯若先螣者；一曰以水為災，水物不成。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Venus stops at the position of 'Tengsha' — Tengsha consists of twenty-two stars located north of Yingshi, which is a divine snake capable of flying in water — it indicates that the position of Tengsha in front of the emperor's throne is ominous, and there are wicked ministers secretly plotting. The book Xuanming Zhuan says: When Venus stops at Tengsha, it signifies that among the feudal lords, there will be someone who starts a rebellion first; another interpretation is that a great flood will occur, and the things produced in water will not mature.

《帝覽嬉》：“太白入王良，人主以車為弊，馬多死，關津不通，國有憂。”石氏曰：“太白守王良，為兵。”《海中占》曰：“太白守王良，三十日，大將亡；一曰主將皆大亡，兵起，車騎行，期百八十日，遠一年。”郗萌曰：“太白守天馬，天子馬多死者。”齊伯曰：“太白犯守王良，天下有兵，諸侯相恐，強臣謀主，期不出年。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Joy" says: When the planet Venus enters "Wang Liang," which is located north of the constellation Kui, Wang Liang refers to five stars representing an ancient expert in driving chariots. Among these four stars are the Star of Movement, and one is the whip. This portends that the ruler will suffer damage from his chariot, many horses will die, border passes and river crossings will be blocked, and the state will face calamity. The Shi school says: When Venus stops at Wang Liang, it indicates military affairs. The "Divination in the Sea" says: When Venus remains at Wang Liang for thirty days, it signifies the death of a general; another interpretation says that both the ruler and generals will suffer great losses, military actions will arise, and chariots and cavalry will be deployed, with the fulfillment of this omen occurring within one hundred and eighty days, or possibly up to a year. Xi Meng says: When Venus stops at "Star of Movement," it indicates many horses of the Son of Heaven will die. Qi Bo says: When Venus intrudes and stops at Wang Liang, it indicates warfare across the land, the feudal lords will be alarmed, and ambitious ministers will plot against the ruler, with the fulfillment of this omen not exceeding one year.

巫咸曰：“太白犯守積水，其國有水災，水物不成，魚鹽貴；一曰以水為敗，糴大貴，人民飢，期二年。”

Wu Xian said: The planet Venus offends and halts at 'Accumulated Water' — Accumulated Water is a single star located in the northwest of the Northern River, indicating the storage of water for the use of sacrificial wine and liquor — it signifies that the country corresponding to its region will experience flooding, and the produce in the water will not mature, causing fish and salt to become expensive. Another interpretation is that failure occurs due to water, leading to a surge in grain prices and widespread famine, which will be fulfilled within a period of two years. The sequence number of the heading in this chapter directly goes from 'Thirty' to 'Forty-One', as in the original text, with nothing missing in between.

甘氏曰：“太白犯守積薪，天下大旱，五穀不登，人民飢亡。”

The Gan school says: The planet Venus offends and halts at the star 'Accumulated Firewood' — which is located east of the accumulation of water, used for cooking — indicating great drought across the land, poor harvests of grain, and people suffering from hunger and fleeing their homes.

甘氏曰：“太白犯守水位，天下以水為害，津關不通；一曰大水入城郭，傷人民，期不出二年。”

The Gan school says: The planet Venus offends and halts at the 'Water position' — the four stars of the Water position are east of the Well mansion, indicating governance related to water balance — signifying that the whole world will suffer from floods, with rivers and ferry crossings blocked; another interpretation is that floods will enter the city walls, harming the people, and the fulfillment of this omen will not take more than two years.

《荊州占》曰：“太白犯軒轅，女御；天子僕死。”《文曜鉤》曰：“太白入軒轅，四猾起。”石氏曰：“太白入軒轅中，犯乘之，有逆賊，若火災。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白出東陵，必有白龍出左右宮；若行軒轅中，犯女主，女主失勢，憂喪也；列大夫有放逐者，五官有不治者；色悴為憂，為疾，其所中犯乘守者誅，若有罪。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus encroaches upon "Xuanyuan"—which consists of seventeen stars located north of the Seven Stars, forming the body of a yellow dragon, and representing the master of concubines, with the largest star being the female ruler, the empress—this indicates an event concerning the female attendants of the emperor; the death of an official in the emperor's personal service. The *Wenyao Gou* says: When Venus enters Xuanyuan, it signifies that wicked people from all directions will rise up in rebellion. The Shi school says: When Venus enters the center of Xuanyuan and encroaches upon or dominates its stars, there will be rebels or a fire. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: When Venus appears from the "Eastern陵"—the eastern position of a tomb—it certainly indicates that white dragon qi will surge from the left and right palaces; if Venus passes through the center of Xuanyuan and confronts the star representing the female ruler, then the female ruler will lose her power, there will be sorrow and mourning; among the officials of the five ministries, some will be exiled, and those holding the five official positions will neglect their duties; if the color of Venus is withered and憔悴, it signifies worry and illness; the person corresponding to the star that is shot at, encroached upon, dominated, or halted by Venus will be executed or punished.

《荊州占》曰：“太白行軒轅端，貫出其中而東，大臣出令。”石氏曰：“太白在軒轅中，有以女請人君者。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白中女主，女主當之；其守犯女主，女主有憂。”（《宋書天又志》曰：魏青龍四年七月七日甲寅，太白犯軒轅大星，景初元年，皇后毛氏崩，晉成帝咸康六年六月七日，太白犯軒轅大星，七年三月皇后杜氏崩。安帝義熙六年八月壬午，太白犯軒轅大星，七年八月，皇后王氏崩。宋文帝元嘉十六年八月朔，日犯軒轅，明年皇后袁氏崩。）

The book "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the planet Venus moves to the end of the constellation Xuan Yuan, passes through it and moves eastward, it indicates that ministers will overstep their authority and issue commands. The Shi school says: When Venus stops in the middle of Xuan Yuan, it indicates that someone will seek the ruler's favor through a woman. The Yellow Emperor's Divination states: When Venus shoots at the star of the female ruler, if it is verified, it will fall upon the female ruler; when Venus stops and offends the star of the female ruler, the female ruler will face worries. The original book's marginal note cites the "Song History · Astronomical Records" — the original text "Tian Yu Zhi" is a miswriting of "Tian Wen Zhi": In the fourth year of Wei Qinglong, seventh month seventh day, on the day Jiayin, Venus offended the great star of Xuan Yuan, and by the first year of Jingchou, the queen consort Mao died; in the sixth year of Jin Chengdi, sixth month seventh day, Venus offended the great star of Xuan Yuan, and in the third month of the next year, the queen consort Du died; in the sixth year of Jin An帝 Yixi, eighth month ninth day, Venus offended the great star of Xuan Yuan, and in the eighth month of the next year, the queen consort Wang died; in the sixteenth year of Wen帝 Yuanjia, eighth month first day, the Sun offended Xuan Yuan, and the next year the queen consort Yuan died.

《聖洽符》曰：“太白守軒轅，兵大起，憂宮中；若有女喪，各以其所犯占之，期一年。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“太白守軒轅大星，若環繞之，皇后有急，若憂誅；一曰天下易王，女主有殃。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守軒轅、女御有誅者。”巫咸曰：“太白行犯守軒轅，女主失政，若失勢；一曰大臣當之，若有黜者，期二年。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the planet Venus stops at the Yellow Emperor's star, it indicates a large-scale military campaign, with calamities occurring within the palace; or there may be the death of a woman, and according to the specific star positions that Venus affects, one can determine which person is involved. This prediction is accurate within one year. The Di Lianxi says: When Venus stops at the Yellow Emperor's star or circles around it, it indicates the empress faces urgent difficulties or fear of being executed; another interpretation is that the throne will change hands, and female rulers will suffer. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When Venus stops at the Yellow Emperor's star, it indicates a female palace attendant will be executed. Wu Xian says: When Venus passes through, offends, and stops at the Yellow Emperor's star, it indicates that female rulers will lose their political power or lose their position; another interpretation is that it will affect ministers, or someone will be dismissed. This prediction is accurate within two years.

（司馬彪《天文志》曰：光武建武九年七月乙卯，金星犯軒轅大星，十月己丑，又犯之。軒轅者，後宮之官，大星者，後宮之皇后，金犯之，為失勢。是時郭后已失勢見踈，後廢為中山太后。孝和元年四月乙酉，金星犯軒轅東北二尺，四年，寶氏被誅，太后失勢。孝垣永壽二年八月戊午，太白犯軒轅大星，為皇后，後二年四月，懿獻後以憂死。）《荊州占》曰：“太白中犯，守軒轅左角，為大臣當之。”

The original book cites a note from Sima Biao's "Astronomical Annals," i.e., "Continued Han Annals · Astronomical Annals": In the seventh month of the ninth year of Jianwu of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, on the Yi-Mao day, the planet Venus approached and disturbed the great star of Xuanyuan; on the tenth month of the same year, on the Ji-Chou day, it disturbed it again. Xuanyuan is the star representing the officials of the palace, and its great star is the empress. When Venus disturbs it, it indicates that the empress will lose power. At that time, the Empress Guo had already fallen out of favor and was distant, and later she was demoted to be the太后 of the Marquess of Zhongshan. In the first year of Emperor Hedi of the Han Dynasty, on the Yi-You day in the fourth month, Venus approached the two feet northeast of Xuanyuan. Four years later, the Dou clan was executed, and the太后 lost her power— the original text mistakenly wrote "Bao Shi" instead of "Dou Shi." In the second year of Yongshou of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, in the eighth month on the Wu-Wu day, Venus disturbed the great star of Xuanyuan. This star represents the empress. Two years later, in the fourth month, the Empress Yi Xian died of grief and anger— the original text mistakenly wrote "Xiao Yuan" instead of "Xiao Huan." The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When Venus shoots, disturbs, and stops at the left horn of Xuanyuan, it indicates that the incident will affect a minister.

石氏曰：“太白入少微，君當求賢佐；不求賢佐，則失奪勢。太白犯守少微，名士有憂；王者任用小人，忠臣被害，有死者。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白入中犯乘少微，為宰相易，女主有憂。”石氏曰：“太白入中犯乘守少微，為五官亂，宰相憂。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus enters the constellation Shao Wei, which consists of four stars located west of the Taimei Enclosure, representing positions for reclusive scholars, advisors, and doctoral officials, it indicates that the ruler should seek out capable ministers. If the ruler refuses to seek virtuous talents, he will lose power and risk being deposed. When Venus intrudes upon and halts in Shao Wei, it signifies that renowned scholars will suffer misfortune; the king will appoint unworthy individuals, loyal ministers will be harmed, and some may even die as a result. The Yellow Emperor's Divination states: When Venus enters the center of Shao Wei and intrudes upon and overshadows its stars, it presages a change in the prime ministers and distress for the female sovereign. The Shi school says: When Venus enters the center of Shao Wei, intrudes upon, overshadows, and halts there, it indicates disorder among the five officials and misfortune for the prime minister.

《春秋緯》：“太白犯太微，主受期命奪號，滅沖為期。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉熙帝建武元年六月丁卯，太白犯太微，占曰：王者惡之。七月熙帝崩於寇廷也。）《帝賢嬉》曰：太白行犯太微左右執法。為大臣有憂。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝安元初元年閏月已未，太白犯太微左執法，建光元年五月，太后兄車騎將軍隲等七侯皆免官自殺。《宋書天文志》曰：晉成帝咸康四年九月，太白犯左執法。五年七月庚申，丞相王導薨。安帝義熙六年九月甲寅，太白犯左執法。八年九月，兗州刺史劉蕃，尚書僕射琨夥誅也。）

The *Chunqiu Wei* says: When the planet Venus approaches the "Taiwei" constellation, which consists of ten stars arranged in eastern and western groups, representing the Son of Heaven's southern palace court, the seats of the Five Emperors, and the residences of the twelve feudal princes, it indicates that the ruler will lose his title within a fixed period. The time of verification is determined by when the opposing position is destroyed. The original commentary cites the *Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi*: In the first year of Jianwu of the Jin Xí Emperor, June Dingmao, Venus approached Taiwei, and the prophecy indicated that it was something the ruler would detest. In the same year, July, the Jin Xí Emperor died in the enemy's court. "Jin Xí Emperor" is likely a mistake for "Hui Emperor." The *Dixian Xi*—that is, the previously cited *Dilang Xi*—says: When Venus travels through and approaches the left and right judicial stars of the Taiwei constellation, it indicates that ministers will face calamity. The original commentary cites Wang Shouzhi's *Tianwen Zhi*: In the first year of Yuanchu of Emperor Han An Di, on the day of Jiwei in the leap month, Venus approached the left judicial star of Taiwei. By the fifth year, in May of Jianguang, the uncle of the empress, the Grand General of the Carriage, Deng Zhi, and seven other officials of the rank of marquis were all dismissed from office and committed suicide. It also cites the *Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi*: In the fourth year of Xiankang of Emperor Jin Cheng Di, September, Venus approached the left judicial star of Taiwei. In the fifth year, July Gengshen, the chancellor Wang Dao died. In the sixth year of Yixi of Emperor Jin An Di, September Jia寅, Venus approached the left judicial star of Taiwei. By the eighth year, September, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Fan, and the Minister of the Secretariat, Xie Hun, were both executed. The original text's "Liu Fan" and "Kun Huo" are likely errors due to similar characters.

石氏曰：“太白入太微庭，所中犯乘守者，為天子所誅；若有罪，太白犯左右執法，左右執法者誅；若有罪。”郗萌曰：“太白犯天府，庭臣為亂。”《荊州占》曰：“太白道，從太微西蕃北南方星間入，到南蕃東方星間南出，道也；中西蕃直坐入者，非道也。太白以庚子日順入太微天庭中，天子所使也；不以庚子日，非天子使。太白入太微軌道，吉；軌道者，入西門，出東門，若左右掖門，行不留也；不軌道者，謂有所犯守也。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus enters the court of Taiwei, any star that is shot at, offended, overpowers, or stops in its path will be the one that governs a person who will be executed by the emperor or be guilty of a crime. If Venus offends the Left Commander or the Right Commander, then the ministers who hold the posts of Left Commander or Right Commander will be executed or be guilty of a crime. Xi Meng says: When Venus offends the Treasury star and Command star, it indicates disorder among the court officials. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The usual path of Venus is to enter from the western part of Taiwei's enclosure, slightly north of the southern stars, and then proceed to the eastern part of the southern stars, exiting to the south, which is called "following the path." If Venus enters directly from the center of the western part facing the Imperial Seat, it is not following the usual path. When Venus moves smoothly into the Taiwei enclosure on a Gengzi day, it is the emperor's envoy; if it enters on any other day, it is not the emperor's messenger. When Venus enters Taiwei and follows its path, it is auspicious. Following the path means entering from the western gate and exiting from the eastern gate, or entering and exiting from the left and right side gates, moving along without stopping. Not following the path means offending or stopping at the stars within the enclosure.

郗萌曰：“太白當太微門，為受制；當在左執法，受事左右執法；守太微門三日以下，為受制；三日以上，為兵、為賊、為亂、為飢。”石氏曰：“太白出東掖門，為相受命；東南出，德事也；出西掖門，為將受命；西南出，刑事也；期以春夏。太白入太微，出左掖門，大將軍出，東南伐；出右掖門，大將軍出，西南伐；皆不出其年。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Venus is positioned at the entrance of the Taimei Enclosure, it signifies receiving the mandate of the sovereign; if it is positioned at the left enforcement position, it signifies receiving affairs from the left and right enforcers. If Venus remains at the Taimei gate for three days, it signifies receiving the sovereign's mandate; if it exceeds three days, it signifies military calamity, banditry, unrest, and famine. The Shi school said: When Venus exits from the eastern wing gate, it signifies the chancellor receiving appointment; if it exits towards the southeast, it signifies the distribution of virtue and benevolence. When Venus exits from the western wing gate, it signifies the general receiving appointment; if it exits towards the southwest, it signifies punishment and execution; these phenomena occur in the seasons of spring and summer. When Venus enters the Taimei Enclosure and exits from the left wing gate, it signifies the grand general leading an army to campaign towards the southeast; if it exits from the right wing gate, it signifies the grand general leading an army to campaign towards the southwest; both situations occur within the same year.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白入天庭，色白潤澤，為期百八十日，有赦。”《帝覽嬉》曰：“太白入太微，而出端門；臣不臣。”《洛書》曰：“太白入左右掖門，出太陽東門，強臣暴誅；若入端門，庭守十日，臣欲害君，期不十日。”《春秋圖》曰：“太白入西華門，出東華門，大臣作亂，謀其主；若諸侯不從王命，期百八十日，若一年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When the planet Venus enters the heavenly court, appearing bright and smooth in color, it indicates a period of one hundred and eighty days, during which there will be an amnesty. The Imperial Viewing says: When Venus enters the Taimei region and exits from the end door, which is the main gate of Taimei region located between the two officials in the southern face of Taimei region, it signifies that ministers and subjects will not abide by their proper conduct. The Luo Writing says: When Venus enters from the left and right side doors and exits from the Sun's eastern gate, it indicates that a powerful minister will be suddenly executed. If it enters from the end door and stays for ten days in the court, it signifies that ministers have intentions to harm the sovereign, and the fulfillment of this omen will occur within less than ten days. The Spring and Autumn Diagram says: When Venus enters from the Western Huamen and exits from the Eastern Huamen, it indicates that high ministers will rebel and plot against the sovereign; or that the feudal lords will not obey the sovereign's orders, with the fulfillment of this omen occurring within one hundred and eighty days or one year.

石氏曰：“太白入太微庭，中華東西門，若左掖門，而南出端門者，為必有反臣。太白入西出東門，皆為人君不安，欲求賢佐；有入中西華門，出中華東門，為臣有不令；有入太陰西門，出太陰東門，皆為天下大亂，有喪，若大水。”甘氏曰：“太白入太陰西門，出東門，天下大亂，主死，破宮；若有大水，期一年。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus enters the Taimei palace, passing through the East Gate of Zhonghua, the West Gate of Zhonghua, or the Left Yard Gate, then moving south through the End Gate, it indicates there will certainly be a rebellious minister. If Venus enters from the west and exits through the East Gate of Zhonghua, it indicates the ruler will not have peace, and will seek virtuous ministers to assist. If Venus enters through the West Gate of Zhonghua and exits through the East Gate of Zhonghua, it indicates ministers will not obey orders. If Venus enters through the West Gate of Taiyin and exits through the East Gate of Taiyin, it indicates great chaos throughout the land, there will be calamities, or a flood. The Gan school says: If Venus enters through the West Gate of Taiyin and exits through the East Gate of Taiyin, it indicates great chaos throughout the land, the ruler will die, the palace will be destroyed; or a great flood will occur, and this will be fulfilled within one year.

（司馬彪《天文志》曰：王莽地皇四年秋，太白在太微中，燭地如月光，太白為兵，太微為天庭，太白贏而北入太微，是兵將天子庭也。是時王莽遣二公之兵至昆陽，已為光武所破，莽又拜九人為將軍，至華陰，皆為漢將劉畢李崧所破，進攻京師，十月戊申，漢兵自宣平城門入，二月己酉，城中少年子弟數千人起兵攻莽，商人杜昊殺莽漸臺之上，校尉公寶斬莽首，大兵蹈公庭之中，仍以更始入長安，居前殿，皆以火入宮庭者。）

The original commentary cites Sima Biao's "Astronomical Records": In the autumn of the fourth year of Wang Mang's reign during the territory of the Later Han, the planet Venus halted within the Taiwei constellation, its light shining brightly on the ground as bright as the moon. Venus governs warfare, and the Taiwei constellation represents the court of the Son of Heaven. When Venus moved ahead and deviated northward into the Taiwei constellation, it was a sign that military calamity would soon enter the Son of Heaven's court. At that time, Wang Mang sent two grand commanders' armies to Kunyang, which were defeated by Liu Xiu, the future Emperor Guangwu; Wang Mang then appointed nine generals and advanced to Huayin, but they were all defeated by Han generals Liu Bi and Li Song. The Han army then attacked the capital. On the 5th day of the tenth lunar month, the Han troops attacked and entered through the Xuanping gate; on the 18th day of the second lunar month, thousands of young men in the city rose up against Wang Mang. The merchant Du Hao killed Wang Mang on the Jian platform, and the officer Gong Bao beheaded him, and the army then entered the palace. Soon after, the Later Han Emperor Gengshi entered Chang'an and took up residence in the front hall of the Weiyang Palace—these events fulfilled the prophecy of military fire entering the palace.

郗萌曰：“太白入太微西門，犯天庭，出端門，為大臣伐主；入西門，而折出右掖門，為大臣假主之威，而不從主命；太白入西華門，出端門東門，詐稱詔。太白入太微西門，若入端門，出東門，為貴者奪勢。太白入太微中，臣相殺，國有憂。”《荊州占》曰：“太白主西方北方，入太微西南陽星之南，為西方；入二星之北，為北方；皆臣殺主之候也。犯帝座星，臣勝；不犯、不勝；視其所止留之宿國，以知其所誅。”

Xi Meng said: When the planet Venus enters from the western gate of Taimei, it offends the heavenly court, and then exits from the end gate, indicating that ministers will attack the sovereign. If Venus enters from the western gate and then turns to exit from the right wing gate, it indicates that ministers will act under the sovereign's authority but not obey the sovereign's orders. If Venus enters from the western palace gate and exits from the end gate or the eastern gate, it indicates that someone will forge imperial edicts. If Venus enters from the western gate of Taimei or enters from the end gate and exits from the eastern gate, it indicates that the powerful will lose their authority. If Venus enters the Taimei region, it indicates that ministers will kill each other and the state will face calamity. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Venus governs the west and the north. If it enters from the southern side of the southwest star of Taimei, it indicates the west; if it enters from the northern side of these two stars, it indicates the north—both are omens of ministers killing the sovereign. If Venus offends the imperial seat star, the ministers will win; if it does not offend, the ministers will not win. Then, observe where it stays in the constellation corresponding to the territory, and one can know where the punishment will fall.

《荊州占》曰：“太白入太微西蕃第一星，行至東蕃第一星，東下去；太微者，天子庭也；太白行其中，宮門當閉，大將軍被甲，守兵大臣伏誅，左右有罪者。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝靈帝建寧元年六月，太白在西方入太微，犯西蕃南頭星，其年八月，太傅陳蕃，大將軍寶武謀，欲盡誅諸宦者，其年九月辛亥，中常侍曹節，長樂五官吏朱瑀覺之，先矯制殺蕃等，家屬徒日南。）

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus enters the westernmost star of the Taimei Enclosure, it proceeds along its path to the first star of the easternmost part, then moves eastward and departs. The Taimei Enclosure is the palace of the Son of Heaven. When Venus passes through it, the palace gates should be closed, and the Grand General should put on armor and be on alert; otherwise, the guards and ministers will be executed. The ruler's attendants will have committed a crime. The original commentary cites Sima Biao's *Astronomical Records*: In the first year of Jianning of Emperor Ling of Han, in June, Venus was in the west and entered the Taimei Enclosure, offending the southernmost star of the western part. In August of the same year, the Grand Tutor Chen Fan and the Grand General Dou Wu planned to eliminate all the eunuchs. In September of that year, on the Xinhai day, the Middle Attendant Cao Jie and the official Zhu Yu of the Changle Palace Palace discovered this plot and first falsely transmitted the imperial decree to kill Chen Fan and others. The families of the victims were exiled to Jinnan Commandery. The original text mistakenly wrote "Baowu" instead of "Dou Wu" and "tu" instead of "xi".

《荊州占》曰：“太白入太微宮，為天下驚；一曰有兵。太白入天庭，國不安其宮。太白入太微中，近臣起兵；入庭中，丞相、御史誅。”《北官候》曰：“太白入太微天庭，天子自將兵，大臣謀立，若有誅者。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白東行入太微庭中，出東門，天下有急兵，若守將、相、丞相、御史，大臣有死者；若入端門守庭，大禍至；入南門，出東門，國大旱；入南門，逆行出西門，國有大水；逆入東門，出西門，大國破亡；若順入西蕃，而留不去，楚國凶殃。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus enters the Taimei Palace, it indicates the whole country will be in turmoil; another interpretation suggests there will be military conflicts. When Venus enters the heavenly court, it indicates the state will not be at peace within its palaces. When Venus enters the Taimei Palace, it indicates the close ministers will rise up in rebellion; when it enters the court, the prime minister and the censor will be executed. The *Beiguan Divination* says: When Venus enters the Taimei Heavenly Court, it indicates the emperor will personally lead the army, the ministers will plot to replace the emperor, or someone will be executed. The *Yellow Emperor Divination* says: When Venus moves eastward into the Taimei Court and then exits through the eastern gate, it indicates there will be urgent military conflicts in the country; if it stops at the stars of general, prime minister, chancellor, or censor, then there will be death among the ministers; if it enters through the end gate and stops in the court, great calamity will come. If it enters through the southern gate and exits through the eastern gate, there will be a great drought in the country; if it enters through the southern gate and moves backward to exit through the western gate, there will be a great flood in the country; if it moves backward to enter through the eastern gate and exits through the western gate, the great state will be ruined and destroyed; if it moves forward into the western region and stays there, then the state of Chu will suffer misfortune.

巫咸曰：“太白逆行入太陽東門，出西門，有反臣欲伐其主，期九十日。太白逆行入太微天庭中，為大臣有誅；若諸侯戮死，期二年。”石氏曰：“太白逆行入左掖門，為大臣劫其主。太白逆行於太微之中，及出左右掖門，為有逆謀，天子有命將征伐之事；一曰大赦可以解其患。”《荊州占》曰：“太白逆行入太微天庭中，為諸侯將有殺者；若至黃帝座而謀成，不至黃帝座而遠，有謀不成；以其入日占國。”

Wu Xian said: When the planet Venus moves retrograde and enters from the eastern gate of the Sun, then exits from the western gate, it indicates there will be a minister who rebels and intends to attack the sovereign. The fulfillment of this omen will occur within ninety days. When Venus moves retrograde and enters the Taimei celestial court, it indicates that a high official will be executed; or that a feudal lord will be killed and die. The fulfillment of this omen will occur within two years. The Shi school said: When Venus moves retrograde and enters from the left yeyamen, it indicates that a minister will seize control of the sovereign. When Venus moves retrograde within Taimei, or enters and exits from the left and right yeyamen, it indicates there will be plots of rebellion. The Son of Heaven will have to appoint generals and dispatch troops for military campaigns. Another interpretation suggests that a great amnesty can resolve this calamity. The "Jingzhou Omen" said: When Venus moves retrograde and enters the Taimei celestial court, it indicates that a feudal lord will be killed. If it reaches the seat of the Yellow Emperor, the plot will succeed. If it does not reach the seat of the Yellow Emperor and is still far away, the plot will not succeed. Further, according to the day branch on which it enters, one can determine which state will be involved.

《玉曆》曰：“太白逆行入太微，強臣凌主，天下大亂，諸侯皆兵起。太白留太微庭中，天下大憂；中央留十日以上，為天下亡徒為兵者。太白道南蕃入，留止南門，為大臣有憂。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：太白贏而北入太微，大兵將入天子之庭，出太微，宮中有兵。）《荊州占》曰：“太白從右入七日以上，為主有憂。”

The *Yu Li* says: When the planet Venus moves retrograde and enters the Taiwei constellation, it indicates a powerful minister who will oppress the sovereign, leading to great chaos throughout the land and military actions arising in all the feudal states. If Venus remains stationary in the court of Taiwei, it signifies great anxiety across the realm; if it stays in the central area for more than ten days, it indicates that many outlaws will gather into military forces. When Venus enters through the southern region and stays at the southern gate without moving, it foretells worries for the ministers. The original commentary cites Sima Biao's *Astronomical Annals*: If Venus moves ahead and deviates northward into Taiwei, it indicates a large army attacking the sovereign's palace; if Venus exits from Taiwei, there will be a military revolt within the palace. The *Jingzhou Divination* states: If Venus enters from the right side and remains for more than seven days, it indicates the sovereign will face troubles.

《感精符》曰：“太白入端門而守之，大臣謀叛，將軍伐主，外臣陵內，天下大亂，期二年。”《黃帝占》曰：“太白乾太微，留守二十日以上，為必有兵革，天下大赦。”《春秋緯》曰：“太白入太微庭，其陵犯留焉三十日，必有喪。”《荊州占》曰：“太白入太微天庭中，犯乘守者殺，若有罪，各以守宦名名之。（《宋書天文志》曰：晉慧帝大安二年秋，太白守太微，成都河間攻洛陽，三年正月，東海王越執長沙王乂，張方又殺之。）太白食，若中犯秉守太微東西蕃、四輔，為君失禮，輔臣有誅者。”

The *Gan Jing Fu* says: When the planet Venus enters the gate and stops there, it indicates that ministers will plot rebellion, generals will attack the sovereign, subordinate officials will oppress the inner court, and the whole country will be in great disorder, with the event occurring within two years. The *Huang Di Zhan* says: When Venus interferes with Taiwei and remains there for more than twenty days, there will certainly be military conflict, followed by a general amnesty. The *Chun Qiu Wei* says: When Venus enters the court of Taiwei and there it oppresses and stays for thirty days, there will certainly be mourning events. The *Jingzhou Zhan* says: When Venus enters the court of Taiwei, any star that is interfered with, oppressed, or occupied by Venus will have the person it represents killed or punished, according to the official rank of the star it occupies. The original commentary cites the *Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi*: In the second year of Tai'an in the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, Venus stopped in Taiwei, and the Prince of Chengdu and the Prince of Hejian attacked Luoyang; in the third year of the first lunar month, Prince Donghai of the Sima clan arrested Prince Changsha of the Sima clan, and Zhang Fang later killed him. The original text mistakenly writes "Hui Di" instead of "Hui Di," and "Da An" is the same as "Tai An." When Venus undergoes an eclipse, or when it interferes with, attacks, or occupies the stars of the eastern and western branches and the four assistants of Taiwei, it indicates that the sovereign has failed in propriety, and among the ministers assisting in governance, some will be executed.

《聖洽符》曰：“太白守土司空，邦君有死者。”《海中占》曰：“太白守土司空，其國以土起兵；若有土功之事，天下旱。”石氏曰：“太白守土司空，有兵喪；天下憂水。”

The Shengqia Fu says: When the planet Venus stops at "Tu Sikuang," which is located south of the Ku Xiu mansion, it indicates matters related to earth and wood construction. It signifies that there will be the death of a monarch in the country. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When Venus stops at Tu Sikuang, it indicates that the country corresponding to this area will have military conflicts over land, or will undertake large-scale earth and wood construction projects, leading to a great drought across the country. The Shi school says: When Venus stops at Tu Sikuang, it indicates there will be military disasters and funerals; the whole country will be worried about water disasters. Note: From this section "Tu Sikuang eleven" to the following section "Tai Bai Fan Tian Jiu seven," a long passage is repeated at the end of volume fifty-one, and it is exactly the same as the content in volume fifty-two "Tai Bai Zhan eight." Here, we follow the original text without any deletion or consolidation.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白入天倉中，主財寶出，主憂臣在內，天下有兵而倉庫之戶俱開；主人勝，客事不成，期二十日而發。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守天倉，天下飢，粟出。”齊伯曰：“太白守天倉，諸侯有發粟之事，有兵起；星若當戶守之，將受命，不為主用。”石氏曰：“太白入守天倉，有兵起，食粟散出；一曰年穀不登，人民飢。”郗萌曰：“太白中犯乘守天倉，四夷人相食，期三歲，兵起西方，若北方。”

The Huangdi Zhàn says: When the planet Venus enters the Heavenly Granary, which consists of six stars located south of the Bond Mansion, it indicates that the treasures stored in the government granaries will be dispersed, the ruler will be anxious, while the ministers will remain within the palace. There will be military campaigns throughout the land, and all the granary gates will be opened. The defending side will achieve victory, while the attacking side's plans will fail. This omen will be fulfilled within twenty days. The Jingzhou Zhàn says: When Venus stops in the Heavenly Granary, it foretells a great famine across the land, with grain being transported out of the granaries. Qi Bo says: When Venus stops in the Heavenly Granary, it indicates that the feudal lords will open their granaries to distribute grain, and military actions will arise. If this planet is directly facing the granary gate, then generals although appointed, will not be willing to serve the ruler. The Shi school says: When Venus enters and stops in the Heavenly Granary, it indicates the outbreak of military conflicts and the distribution of stored grain; another interpretation is that the harvest will be poor and the people will suffer from hunger. Xi Meng says: When Venus shoots at, offends, dominates, and stops in the Heavenly Granary, it indicates that the four directions of the barbarian tribes will suffer from famine and hunger, leading to people eating each other. This omen will be fulfilled within three years, with military conflicts arising in the western or northern regions.

石氏曰：“太白入天囷，天下兵起，囷倉儲積之物發用；一曰御物多有出者，庫藏空虛，期二年。”《海中占》曰：“太白入天囷，天下兵起，儲侯謀，囷倉庫藏有破者。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉孝武大元二年四月壬申，太白入天.，占曰：為飢，陸安元年，王恭舉兵，協朝遷，內外戒嚴，出國寶以謝之，又水旱，民飢。）

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus enters the "Heavenly Granary" (Tianqun), which consists of thirteen stars located south of the Stomach mansion, representing a circular granary that stores grain, it indicates that the whole country will be involved in military campaigns, and the stored grain in the granary will be drawn upon. Another interpretation suggests that royal supplies will be heavily used up, leading to the emptiness of the treasury. This prediction is expected to be verified within two years. The book "Sea Divination" states: When Venus enters the Heavenly Granary, it signifies that the whole country will be involved in military campaigns, and the princes will have plots against each other. The granary and treasury may be attacked. The original commentary cites the "Book of Song · Astronomical Records": In the second year of Emperor Xiaowu's Taoyuan period in the Jin dynasty, in the fourth month on the day of Renshen, Venus entered the Heavenly Granary. The original text only has the character "Heaven" here, and the next character is faded and indistinct. The divination text says this indicates famine. By the first year of Long'an, Wang Gong raised an army, threatened the court, and the capital and its surroundings were on high alert. The court surrendered Wang Guobao to him as an apology. At the same time, there was drought and flood, and the people suffered from hunger. The original text's "Lu'an" is a mistake for "Long'an," and "Chaoqian" is a mistake for "court."

石氏曰：“太白守天廩，天下大飢。”甘氏曰：“太白入守天廩，天下有兵，歲大飢，倉粟散，不出其年。”《玉曆》曰：“太白入守天廩，兵起滿野，天下粟出，給軍糧；一曰糴貴。”石氏曰：“太白犯守天廩，天下亂，粟散出。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus stops at the mansion of Tian Lin, which is four stars located south of the mansion of Hairy Head, it indicates that there will be a great famine throughout the land. The Gan school says: When the planet Venus enters and stops at Tian Lin, it indicates that there will be military conflicts, a great famine, and the grain stored in granaries will be exhausted, and the prediction will not be accurate for that year. The Jade Calendar says: When the planet Venus enters and stops at Tian Lin, it indicates that warfare will break out everywhere across the land, and the grain throughout the land will be taken out to supply the military; another interpretation is that the price of grain will become very high. The Shi school says: When the planet Venus intrudes and stops at Tian Lin, it indicates great chaos throughout the land, and the stored grain will be dispersed and lost.

《荊州占》曰：“太白入天苑，出兵犯外夷。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守天苑，兵起馬死。”石氏曰：“太白入守天苑，牛羊禽獸多疾疫；若守之二十日，天下兵起，馬多死，其國憂。”（漢班固《天文志》曰：“漢孝武元鼎五年，太白入天苑，占曰：將以馬超兵也，一曰馬將以軍而死耗，其年以天馬，故誅大宛馬大死天軍。）《玄冥占》曰：“太白守天苑，邊境兵起，王者出兵，徵外夷，天下馬發。”

The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When the planet Venus enters the "Tian Yuan" constellation — the Tian Yuan consists of sixteen stars located south of the constellations Mao and Bi, and it is the royal hunting ground for raising animals and sacrifices — it indicates the outbreak of military campaigns against foreign tribes. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: When Venus stops in Tian Yuan, it signifies the rise of military affairs and the death of horses. The Shi school says: When Venus enters and stops in Tian Yuan, it indicates that cattle, sheep, and animals will be greatly afflicted by disease; if it stops for twenty days, there will be military campaigns across the land, with a large number of horses dying, and the country corresponding to this area will face troubles. The original text's marginal notes cite Han Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records": In the fifth year of Emperor Wu of Han's Yu Ding era, Venus entered Tian Yuan, and the divination text said that military campaigns would be launched for the purpose of obtaining horses; another interpretation suggests that horses would die in large numbers during military campaigns. That year, the empire was indeed engaged in warfare against the Duanwan people in pursuit of the Heavenly Horse, resulting in the death of many horses and soldiers — this marginal note contains many errors and omissions, but the general meaning is as such. The "Xuanming Divination" states: When Venus stops in Tian Yuan, it indicates military campaigns on the borders, the king leading an army to campaign against foreign tribes, and the whole country mobilizing horses.

《文曜鉤》曰：“太白守參旗，九州騷動，天下皆兵，弓不下弦，矢不舍筈，其國不寧，王者有憂。”《海中占》曰：“太白守參族，兵大起，弓弩，將士出行；一曰弓矢貴。”

The Wen Yao Gou says: When the planet Venus stops at "Cen Qi" — Cen Qi consists of nine stars located west of Cen mansion, also known as the Heavenly Banner, which presages the setting up of bows and arrows — it indicates turmoil in the nine provinces, armies everywhere, bows never relaxed, arrows constantly on the string, the country cannot be at peace, and the ruler has worries. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: When Venus stops at Cen Qi — the original text says "Cen Zu," which is a miswriting of Cen Qi — it indicates a large-scale military campaign, bows and arrows fully prepared, soldiers going to war; another interpretation is that the price of bows and arrows becomes very high.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白入玉井，為強國失地；其出之，強國得地。”巫咸曰：“太白入玉井，國有水憂；若以水為敗，水物不成，期不出年。”《感精符》曰：“太白入守玉井，水兵大起，若以水為變，魚鹽十倍。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: When the planet Venus enters the "Jade Well," which consists of four stars located beneath the left foot of the Three Stars mansion, it indicates the need to draw water for use in the kitchen and the preparation of food. This portends the loss of territory by a powerful state. When Venus exits the Jade Well, it signifies that a powerful state will gain territory. Wu Xian says: When Venus enters the Jade Well, there will be worries of water disasters within the country; or failure caused by water, with the produce from water sources failing to mature, and the fulfillment of the prophecy will not exceed one year. The Gan Jing Fu says: When Venus enters and stays in the Jade Well, there will be major naval battles, or disturbances caused by water, with the prices of fish and salt rising tenfold.

甘氏曰：“太白入屏星，為大臣戮；若疾。”《玄冥占》曰：“太白入守屏星，諸侯有謀；若有大臣有戮死者。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Venus enters the 'Screen stars' — the two Screen stars are located south of the Jade Well, indicating obstruction and hindrance — it signifies the death of a minister or illness. The "Xuanming Divination" states: When the planet Venus enters and stays in the Screen stars, it indicates that the feudal lords are secretly plotting something; or there will be a minister who dies by violence.

《黃帝占》曰：“太白犯天廁，為大臣戮者。”郗萌曰：“太白守廁星，國多疾疫，兵飢並起，人主有憂。”《甄曜度》曰：“太白入守天廁。天下大飢，人相食，死者大半，期二年。”

The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When the planet Venus offends the "Heavenly Toilet" — the four stars of the Heavenly Toilet are located east of the Screen Star, and they presage the observation of diseases — indicating that there will be a minister who is killed. Xi Meng says: When Venus stops at the Heavenly Toilet star, it presages a great epidemic in the country, with military disasters and famine occurring simultaneously, and the sovereign will have worries. The "Zhenshao Du" says: When Venus enters and stops at the Heavenly Toilet, it presages a great famine across the country, people eating each other, with more than half of the people dying, and the fulfillment period is two years.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“太白守天矢，貴人多有疾而病死者；一曰民多以飢死。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Pleasures" says: The planet Venus stops at "Heavenly Arrow" — the star Heavenly Arrow is located south of the celestial toilet, which is also called the celestial excrement, and it indicates the occurrence of epidemics — it signifies that many high-ranking people will fall ill and die; another interpretation is that many common people will die from starvation.

《荊州占》曰：“太白守軍市，以飢兵起。”石氏曰：“太白入守軍市，兵大起，大將軍出，若以飢兵起；一曰天下亂，四夷兵起，道路不通；一曰大軍飢，絕其糧，兵士逃亡，期二年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus stops at "Junshi" — Junshi consists of thirteen stars located in the Southeast direction of the Three Stars mansion, which is a place for military mutual trade, indicating military provisions and camps — it signifies that warfare will arise due to famine. The Shi school says: When Venus enters and stops at Junshi, it indicates a large-scale military campaign, a general commander going on an expedition, or warfare arising due to famine; another interpretation is that the whole country will be in great disorder, with all four directions of the barbarians raising armies, and roads blocked and communication cut off; yet another interpretation is that the large army will suffer from hunger, the supply lines will be cut off, and soldiers will scatter, and this will be verified within a period of two years.

甘氏曰：“太白入軍市，犯守野雞，其國凶，有死將，軍營敗，兵士散。”

The Gan school says: When the planet Venus enters the military market, it offends and stops at the 'pheasant' star within it. The pheasant star located in the military market indicates signs of strange occurrences. This signifies that the state corresponding to this region will face calamities, with generals dying in battle, the military camp collapsing, and soldiers scattering.

《感精符》曰：“太白守狼星，車騎出滿野；守二十二日，將相有死者。”石氏曰：“守白守狼星，野獸死。”郗萌曰：“太白提狼星，而出入守之，車騎兵出，大將有千里之行。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守狼，敵兵起。太白犯守狼星，大將出行，其國有兵；一曰有兵，將死。”齊伯曰：“太白犯守狼星，兵大起，士卒行，天下凶，諸侯相攻，多賊盜。”（《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝永興二年四月丙子，太白犯狼星，是年苟破公師，藩張方破莊陽王號，關西諸將攻河間，王&&奔走東海，王遂而殺之也。）

The "Gan Jing Fu" says: When the planet Venus stops at "Wang Star," which is located in the southeast of the Well Mansion, its color is white with a bright edge, indicating invasion and plundering. This signifies the movement of chariots and cavalry, filling the plains. If it remains for twenty-two days, there will be the death of ministers and generals. The Shi school says: When Venus stops at Wang Star, it indicates the death of wild animals. The original text's "shou bai" is a miswriting for "Tai Bai." Xi Meng says: When Venus approaches Wang Star, moving in and out between them and stopping there, it indicates the movement of chariots and cavalry, and the commander-in-chief will have a long march. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: When Venus stops at Wang Star, it indicates the rise of enemy troops. When Venus invades and stops at Wang Star, it indicates the departure of a great general and military affairs in the country; another interpretation is that there will be military affairs and the death of generals. Qi Bo says: When Venus invades and stops at Wang Star, it indicates a large-scale military campaign, soldiers traveling far, the world showing signs of calamity, and the feudal lords attacking each other, with many bandits. The original commentary cites the "Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi": In the second year of Emperor Hui of Jin's Yongxing period, in the fourth month on the day of Bingzi, Venus invaded Wang Star. In that year, Guo Xi defeated Gong Shi Fan, Zhang Fang attacked and destroyed the branch of the royal title of Changsha, and the generals in the western region attacked Prince Hejian. A certain prince fled to Prince Donghai, and Prince Donghai eventually killed him. This note has many errors and omissions in the names, and the original manuscript has two places with ink marks, so only the general meaning is preserved.

《荊州占》曰：“太白守弧星，弓弩矢貴，大將軍有千里之行，民多死者。”《玄冥占》曰：“太白守弧星，臣有謀主者，庫兵盡用，關梁四塞，津道不通，期二年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus stops at the 'arc star,' the nine arc stars are located to the southeast of the wolf star, forming the shape of a bow with an arrow, which is like heavenly bows and arrows, indicating the need for vigilance against thieves. This portends that bows and arrows will be expensive, the general will undertake a distant campaign, and many people will die. The *Xuanming Divination* says: When the planet Venus stops at the arc star, it indicates that ministers may plot against the sovereign. The weapons in the military storehouse will be extensively used, the passes and bridges will be widely blocked, and the ferry crossings and roads will be cut off. This omen will be fulfilled within two years.

《海中占》曰：“太白犯天稷，有旱災，五穀不登，歲大飢，五穀散出。”

The "Sea Divination" says: The planet Venus offends "Tian Ji" — Tian Ji, among the five stars, is located south of the Seven Stars, representing the official in charge of agriculture, symbolizing the deity of crops — it presages drought, poor harvests of grain, a great famine, and grain stored in granaries spilling out.

《荊州占》曰：“太白犯乘守輔星，君臣失禮，輔臣有誅者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* states: When the planet Venus is intrusive, dominant, and stationary at the "Fuxing" star — the heading of this passage refers to "Sifuxing," meaning four stars surrounding the north celestial pole, which are responsible for assisting the supreme ruler and issuing decrees; however, the "Fuxing" mentioned in the text refers to a small star near the sixth star of the Big Dipper, known as Kaiyang, which also signifies auxiliary ministers — this indicates that there is a loss of propriety between the sovereign and his ministers, and that a minister assisting in governance is to be executed.

《荊州占》曰：“太白犯天廚，大官事誅。”石氏曰：“太白守天廚，大官吏死。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the planet Venus encroaches upon the "Star of Livelihood," which consists of six stars located to the northeast of the Emperor star's palace, it indicates an abundance of food and drink. This portends that the official department responsible for the imperial kitchen will be punished and its officials executed. The Shi school states: When Venus remains stationary at the Star of Livelihood, it signifies the death of officials in charge of preparing the imperial meals.

石氏曰：“太白守鼓旗，兵革起。”

The Shi school says: When the planet Venus stops at 'Gu Qi' — the Gu Qi stars are located beside He Gu, symbolizing the war drums and banners in the military — this indicates the emergence of matters concerning weapons and armor.

《文曜鉤》曰：“發大兵相殘賊，則太白入天田。”《荊州占》曰：“太白守天田，五穀傷。”

The Wenyao Gou says: When there is a large military campaign on earth, with mutual destruction and plundering, the heavens will show an omen of the planet Venus entering the "Tian Tian" constellation.

The book "Sea of Divination" says: When the planet Venus enters the celestial granary, it indicates that the whole country will rise in rebellion, the feudal lords will have different intentions, and the granary and treasury will be attacked. The original commentary cites the "Book of the Song Dynasty · Astronomical Records": In the second year of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin Dynasty, in the fourth month on the day of Renshen, the planet Venus entered the celestial granary —— the second character here is missing in the original text —— the divination text said it would indicate famine.

After that, there was drought and flood, and the people suffered from hunger.

The Shi school says: When Venus enters and stops at Tianyuan, it indicates an epidemic among cattle, sheep, and wild animals; if it stays for twenty days, there will be military campaigns across the country, with many horses dying, and the regions corresponding to the affected areas will face troubles.

《荊州占》曰：“太白入天廄，十日以上，廄馬有食變。太白守天廄，為廄災之事，人主以馬為憂；不則馬疾。”郗萌曰：“太白守天廄三十日，騎馬出。”

The book Zhongzhou Zhan says: When the planet Venus enters Tianjiu and stays there for more than ten days, it indicates that there will be problems with the fodder and food supply for the horses in the stable. If Venus remains in Tianjiu, it signifies disaster in the stable, and the ruler will worry about the horses; otherwise, it suggests that the horses will be sick. Xi Meng says: If Venus stays in Tianjiu for thirty days, it indicates that cavalry horses will be deployed. The ten stars of Tianjiu are located to the north of Ge dao, and they are responsible for matters related to carriages, horses, and the relay system of messengers.

郗萌曰：“辰星七名：小、武星、天兔、安周、細爽星、能星、鉤星。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星一曰句星；一曰鼎星；一曰小霜；一曰音黃；一曰歲咸，吳龍。”《天官星占》曰：“辰星、北方之位，黑帝之子，宰相之象。一名安調；一名細極；一名能星；一名鉤星，一名伺星。辰主德，常行四種。”張楫《廣雅釋天篇》曰：“謂之爨星。”

Xi Meng said: The planet Water Star has seven names, namely Xiao, Wu Star, Tian Tu, An Zhou, Xi Shuang Star, Neng Star, and Gou Star. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: Water Star is also called Ju Star, Ding Star, Xiao Shuang, Yin Huang, Sui Xian, and Wu Long. The "Tian Guan Star Divination" says: Water Star is located in the northern position, being the son of the Black Emperor, symbolizing the prime minister. Its other names include An Tiao, Xi Ji, Neng Star, Gou Star, and Ci Star. Water Star governs virtue and usually appears and moves during the four zhong months — the original text says "four kinds" but should be "four zhong," meaning Zhong Spring, Zhong Summer, Zhong Autumn, and Zhong Winter. Zhang Yi's "Guangya · Xi Tian Chapter" says: Water Star is also called Cuan Star.

《鴻範五行傳》曰：“辰星者，北方水精也；於五常為智，揚攉貪道；於五事為聽，不惑是非，智虧、聽失，逆冬令，則辰星為變怪，為水災，為四時不和。”（班固《天文志》曰：逆冬令，傷水氣，則罰見辰星。）《淮南子》曰：“北方水也，其帝顓頊，其佐玄冥，執權而治冬，其神為辰星，其獸玄武，其音羽，其日壬癸。”

The *Hóngfàn Wǔxíng Zhuàn* says: The planet Mercury represents the essence of northern water vapor; in the five constants, it corresponds to 'wisdom,' and in general, if wisdom is lacking, it leads to greed and recklessness. In the five affairs, it corresponds to 'hearing,' and if hearing is sharp, one is not misled by right and wrong. If wisdom is lacking and hearing is impaired, it violates the regulations of winter, causing Mercury to display abnormal phenomena, leading to floods and disrupting the harmony of the four seasons. The original commentary cites Ban Gu's *Tianwen Zhi*: violating the winter regulations and harming the water vapor results in punishment from heaven manifested through Mercury. The *Huainanzi* says: The north belongs to water, and the heavenly emperor there is Zhuanyu, with the assisting deity Xuanming, who hold the scales of justice to govern winter, with Mercury as their star deity, the accompanying beast being the Black Tortoise, the five tones being Yu, and the day branches being Ren and Gui.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星者，太陰之精，黑帝之子，立冬主北維，其國燕趙；於日壬癸；其位卿相。”又曰：“人君之象；天子執政，主刑；刑失者，罰出辰星之易是也。”《合誠圖》曰：“星主正常。”巫咸曰：“辰星主調和陰陽，節四時，效其萬物。辰星修，順之則喜，逆之則怒。”班固《天文志》曰：“辰星殺伐之氣，斗之象也。”《五行志》曰：“辰星為蠻夷。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The water star is the essence of the Taiyin energy, the son of the Black Emperor, and during the beginning of winter it governs the northern direction, and the country associated with it is Yan and Zhao. It corresponds to the day branches of Ren and Gui. In the court position, it symbolizes ministers and high officials. It also says: it is also a symbol of the sovereign; the Son of Heaven holds power, and the water star governs punishment. When punishment is misapplied, the heavens' punishment is revealed through the variation of the water star. The *Hecheng Tu* says: this star governs the proper way. Wu Xian says: the water star governs the harmonization of yin and yang, the regulation of the four seasons, and the verification of all things. The virtue of the water star lies in order and regulation; if it is followed, it is pleased, but if it is violated, it becomes angry. Ban Gu's *Astronomical Records* says: the water star carries a martial and punitive nature, and is the symbol of the Big Dipper. The *Five Elements Records* says: the water star corresponds to the four barbarian regions.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星主內謀，天下有急，一時憂出。辰星主刑罰，王者殺無辜，好暴逆，簡宗廟，重徭役，逆天時，則辰星伏而不效。主恩寬，赦有罪，輕徭役、賦斂；賑貧窮，調陰陽，和四時，則星效於四仲，天下和平，災害不生。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet of water governs internal deliberations within the palace. When there is an urgent matter in the world, within a season, calamity will become evident. The planet of water also governs punishment; if the sovereign kills the innocent, indulges in cruelty and rebellion, neglects the worship of ancestors and deities, increases labor and taxes, and violates the natural order, the planet of water will hide and not appear at the proper time. If the sovereign is benevolent, pardons criminals, reduces labor and taxes, relieves the poor, regulates yin and yang, and harmonizes the four seasons, the planet of water will appear at the proper time during the four mid-months, and the world will be peaceful with no disasters.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星主刑獄；法官及廷尉人君宰相之治，重刑罰，惰法令，殺無罪，戮不辜，棄正法，貨賂上流；則辰星不效度，不時節，法官憂。”《荊州占》曰：“有軍於野，辰星為偏將之象；無軍於野，辰星為刑事之象。辰星主德，燕趙代以北，宰相之象。”石氏贊曰：“辰星效四時，和陰陽。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet Water governs legal punishments and judicial matters. When judges, the Minister of Justice, and even the sovereign and prime ministers govern with harsh punishments, lax laws, killing the innocent, executing the virtuous, abandoning proper legal principles, and bribery prevails in the court, the planet Water will not appear according to its usual course, appearing and disappearing out of season. Officials responsible for law and order will thus experience worry. The *Jingzhou Divination* also says: When there is military conflict in the fields, the planet Water represents subordinate generals; when there is no military activity, it represents legal matters. The planet Water symbolizes virtue and is associated with the regions of Yan, Zhao, and Dai to the north. In human affairs, it represents the prime minister. The *Shi School* commentary says: The planet Water appears in accordance with the four seasons, harmonizing the energies of yin and yang.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“辰星以上元甲子歲，十一月甲子朔旦，冬至夜半甲子時，與日月五星俱起牽牛前五度，右行，迅疾，常與日月相隨，見於四仲，以正四時，歲一周天。（案《曆法》：辰星夕見西方，三十日而伏，二十二日而晨見東方，而伏，伏入三十三日，一千五百四十分日之一千一百六十八奇六十六，復夕見西方，如初；一終凡一百一十五日一千一百七十八奇六十六，星行度數亦如之，是七十七年而二百四十九終也，星平行日一度，一年周天，舊說皆云辰星效四仲，以為謬矣。）

The *Hóngfàn Wǔxíng Zhuàn* says: In the first era's Jiazi year, on the morning of the new moon in the eleventh month, on the Jiazi day, the planet Mercury appeared at five degrees before the constellation Niúxiù, moving rightward swiftly, together with the sun, moon, and five stars. It often accompanied the sun and moon in their movement, appearing in the four middle months to correct the four seasons, completing one full orbit around the sky in a year. The original commentary notes, based on the *Lìfǎ* (calendar system), state that Mercury appears in the west in the evening, then disappears after thirty days; twenty-two days later, it appears in the east in the morning, then disappears again; after disappearing, it remains hidden for thirty-three days and one thousand five hundred forty parts of one thousand one hundred sixty-eight days, and then reappears in the west in the evening, just as before. A complete cycle totals one hundred fifteen days and one thousand one hundred seventy-eight parts, and the degrees Mercury travels through correspond to this. Therefore, seventy-seven years exactly complete two hundred forty-nine cycles. If calculated as a constant rate, Mercury moves one degree per day, completing one full orbit around the sky in a year. The old view that Mercury only appears in the four middle months is incorrect.

丞相之象，一歲一周，出以四仲，天下和平；不出四仲、災變生；人民大飢，谷不榮；陰陽錯亂，國家傾；冬溫夏寒，害傷人。”《洛書》曰：“春分二日，辰星在奎，晨見東方，十八日而晨入東方；夏至二日，辰星在井，晨見東方，十八日而晨入東方；秋分二日，辰星在氐，昏出西方，十九日而昏入西方；冬至二日，辰星在女，昏出西方，十九日而昏入西方。”

The planet Venus symbolizes the Prime Minister. It orbits the heavens once a year. If it appears according to the four mid-months, the world will be peaceful and harmonious. If it does not appear according to the four mid-months, calamities will occur: the people will suffer from great famine, grain will not flourish, yin and yang will be out of balance, the state will be in peril, winter will be warm and summer will be cold, harming human bodies. The Luo Writing says: after the spring equinox, on the second day, Venus is in the Legs mansion, appearing in the east in the morning, and disappearing in the east in the morning eighteen days later; after the summer solstice, on the second day, Venus is in the Well mansion, appearing in the east in the morning, and disappearing in the east in the morning eighteen days later; after the autumn equinox, on the second day, Venus is in the Root mansion, appearing in the west in the evening, and disappearing in the west in the evening nineteen days later; after the winter solstice, on the second day, Venus is in the Girl mansion, appearing in the west in the evening, and disappearing in the west in the evening nineteen days later.

《春秋緯》曰：“辰星出四仲，為初紀春分，夕出；夏至，夕出；秋分，夕出；冬至，晨出；其出常自辰戌入丑未。”《淮南子》曰：“辰星正四時，常以二月春分效奎、婁；（效，見也）以五月夏至，效東井、輿鬼；以八月秋分，效角、亢；以十一月冬至，效斗、牛；出以辰戌，入以丑未；出二旬，而復入；晨候之東方，夕候之西方。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: The planet Mercury appears during the four central months, marking the beginning of a cycle: it appears in the evening at the time of the vernal equinox, in the evening at the summer solstice, in the evening at the autumnal equinox, and in the morning at the winter solstice; its appearance is usually in the directions of Chen and Xu, and its disappearance is usually in the directions of Chou and Wei. The Huainanzi says: Mercury regulates the four seasons, and it appears at the time of the vernal equinox in the second month, manifesting in the mansion of Kui and Lou; the original commentary notes: '效' means manifestation; at the summer solstice in the fifth month, it manifests in the mansion of Dongjing and Yugui; at the autumnal equinox in the eighth month, it manifests in the mansion of Jiao and Kang; and at the winter solstice in the eleventh month, it manifests in the mansion of Dou and Niu. It appears from the directions of Chen and Xu and disappears from the directions of Chou and Wei; after appearing for twenty days, it reappears; in the morning, one should look for it in the east, and in the evening, one should look for it in the west.

石氏曰：“辰星仲春春分，暮出奎、胃東五舍，為齊；仲夏夏至，暮出東井、輿鬼、柳東七舍，為楚；仲秋秋分，暮出角、亢、氐、房東四舍，為漢中；仲冬冬至，晨出東方，與尾、箕、斗、牛俱出西方，為中國。”甘氏曰：“辰星是正四時；春分效婁；夏至效輿鬼；秋分效亢；冬至效牽牛。其出東方也，行星四舍，為日四十八日，其數二十日，而反入於西方。”

The Shi school says: When the water star appears in the evening during the middle of spring, within the five mansions east of Kuí and Wèi, its territory corresponds to the state of Qi; during the middle of summer, when it appears in the evening within the seven mansions east of Dōngjǐng, Yúguǐ, and Liǔ, its territory corresponds to the state of Chu; during the middle of autumn, when it appears in the evening within the four mansions east of Jiao, Kàng, Dī, and Fáng, its territory corresponds to Hanzhong; during the middle of winter, when it appears in the morning in the east and also appears in the west together with the mansions Weì, Jī, Dòu, and Niú, its territory corresponds to China. The Gan school says: The water star's duty is to correct the four seasons; at the vernal equinox it appears in Lóu, at the summer solstice in Yúguǐ, at the autumnal equinox in Kàng, and at the winter solstice in Niú. When it appears in the east, it travels through four mansions, lasting forty-eight days, of which twenty days are visible, and then it turns westward—this number is originally incorrect, but we retain the old version.

皇甫謐《年曆》曰：“辰星春分立卯之月，夕效於奎、婁；（宋均曰：常以二月春分見婁）夏至立午之月，夕效於東井；秋分立酉之月，夕效於角、亢；（宋均曰：見角亢）冬至立子之月，晨效於斗牛；出以辰戌，入以丑未。（宋均曰：二旬入，晨候之東，夕候之西。）其星將出，必先陰風，辰之情也。”

The book "Nian Li" by Huangfu Mi says: The planet Mercury appears in the evening during the month of Mao, which is the month of the Ram, at the mansion of Kui and Lou, as noted in the commentary of Song Jun: it usually appears in the mansion of Lou in February at the time of the Spring Equinox. During the month of Wu, which is the month of the Horse, at the time of the Summer Solstice, Mercury appears in the evening at the mansion of Dongjing. During the month of You, which is the month of the Rooster, at the time of the Autumn Equinox, Mercury appears in the evening at the mansion of Jiao and Kang, as noted in the commentary of Song Jun: it appears at Jiao and Kang. During the month of Zi, which is the month of the Rat, at the time of the Winter Solstice, Mercury appears in the morning at the mansion of Dou and Niu. It appears from the position of Chen and Xu, and disappears from the position of Chou and Wei, as noted in the commentary of Song Jun: twenty days later it disappears, and one should observe it in the east in the morning and in the west in the evening. Before this star appears, there must first be dark clouds and wind, which is the nature of Mercury.

巫咸曰：“辰星出四仲，以正四時；出孟，天下大亂，更王。（班固《天文志》曰：漢高之時，辰星出四孟，後二年，漢滅楚也。）出四季，彗星出，有敗國；一曰諸侯不反命。”《尚書緯》曰：“文政失於冬，辰星不效其節。”《孝經援神契》曰：“辰星出仲，德和柔。”

Wu Xian said: When the water star appears in the fourth month of the four middle months, it is used to correct the four seasons; if it appears in the first month of the four beginning months, it indicates great chaos and a change of ruler. The original book's marginal note cites Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records": During the time of Han Gaozu, the water star appeared in the first month of the four beginning months, and two years later, Han overthrew Chu. If the water star appears in the fourth season month, a comet will follow, indicating the downfall of a country; another view is that the feudal lords will no longer report to the Son of Heaven. The "Book of Documents Weave" says: In the winter season, if the governance is not proper, the water star will not appear at its proper time. The "Xiao Jing Yuan Shen Qi" says: When the water star appears in the fourth month of the four middle months, it indicates that virtue and education are harmonious and gentle.

巫咸曰：“辰星出，常不見，山海且有聚卒，辰星受制，則閉門合，無通客，斷罰殺當罪，節關梁，禁流徙。”郗萌曰：“太白不出，辰星獨出西方，兵起不戰，辰星入，兵罷。”《荊州占》曰：“太白不出，辰星獨出東方，天下有兵，罷；無兵，有德令。”

Wu Xian said: When the water star should appear but does not, it indicates that there will be gathering of soldiers in mountainous areas and remote coastal regions. When the water star is restrained, human affairs should involve closing doors and gates, refusing visitors, deciding punishments and executions for those who deserve them, controlling the movement across passes and bridges, and prohibiting the migration of common people. Xi Meng said: When the metal star does not appear and only the water star appears in the west, it indicates the mobilization of troops without actual combat, and when the water star disappears, the military actions will cease. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the metal star does not appear and only the water star appears in the east, if there is already warfare in the world, the warfare will cease; if there is no warfare, then edicts of benevolent governance will be issued.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星之相也，從立秋以至秋之盡，其色即當精明，無芒角，不搖光。辰星之王也，從立冬以至冬之盡，其色則當比奎大星，而青白有精光，冬至之時有芒角。辰星之休也，從立春以至春之盡，其色則當無精光，微小而蒼黃。辰星之囚也，從立夏以至夏之盡，其色即當赤黑而不明。

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet Water belongs to the element Water, and Metal generates Water, so from the Beginning of Autumn until the end of autumn is its "phase" period. At this time, its color should be pure and bright, withoutpointed rays, and its light should not flicker. In winter, when the water qi is dominant, from the Beginning of Winter until the end of winter is its "sovereign" period. At this time, its color should be able to compare with the great star of the Legs mansion, appearing blue-white with a refined glow. By the Winter Solstice, it will also showpointed rays. Water generates Wood, and the mother qi retreats, so from the Beginning of Spring until the end of spring is its "rest" period. At this time, it should have no refined glow, appear small, and show a苍黄 color. In summer, when fire is strong and water is overcome, from the Beginning of Summer until the end of summer is its "captivity" period. At this time, its color should be reddish-black but not bright.

辰星之死也，從仲夏以至夏之盡，及四季，其色則當赤，細小，微不明；又辰星之死也，從仲夏以至夏之盡，及四季，不行，有囚色；秋不下霜，有死色；禾稼不成，雷電不藏；其留守也，其國破亡；其進舍也，與五星舍，其下有殃；其退舍也，五星及之，不可舉事用兵。”

Earthly Stem controls Water, so from midsummer until the end of summer and during the months of the Earthly Branches Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, it is the "death" time for the Water Star. At this time, its color should appear red, the star body should be small, weak, and dim. It is also said that when the Water Star is in its death time, from midsummer until the end of summer and during the months of Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, if it stops moving, it shows the color of being captured; if there is no frost in autumn, it shows the color of death; thus the crops cannot mature, and thunder and lightning continue beyond the time they should be collected. If the Water Star remains stationary at this time, the country corresponding to its position will suffer defeat and destruction; if it moves forward one constellation and shares the same constellation with the five stars, the country below will suffer calamity; if it retreats one constellation and the five stars overtake it, then great undertakings and military actions should not be undertaken.

甘氏曰：“當其王也，而有相色，大臣專政，令不行；有休色，冬不水；有囚色，冬無霜雪；有死色，冬有霧，日不明，雷電行；其留守也，其國不詳；其進舍也，與五星合，天下有謀；其退舍也，五星及之，不可舉事，用兵。

The Gan school says: When the water star is in its ruling position but shows the color of a minister, it indicates that ministers are acting independently and the king's orders cannot be carried out; when it shows the color of a minister in retirement, it indicates that there will be no rain or snow in winter; when it shows the color of being captured, it indicates that there will be no frost or snow in winter; when it shows the color of death, it indicates that there will be much fog in winter, dim sunlight, and abnormal thunder and lightning. If it remains stationary, the country corresponding to its position will be unfavorable; if it moves forward by one constellation and joins the five planets, it indicates that there are people secretly plotting; if it retreats by one constellation and the five planets catch up, then it is not advisable to undertake major projects or use military force.

當其休也，而有王色，是謂不祥，人主弊，臣下縱橫；有相色，將相君臣不和；有囚色，夏不雨，天旱；有死色，六月大疫，傷貴人，有土功；其留守也，其國多小兒喪；其進舍也，五星合，其下有水災；其退舍也，五星及之，不可舉事，用兵。

The planet of Water is in the state of rest but shows the color of sovereignty, which is ominous, indicating the ruler is obscured and in distress, while ministers act without restraint. If it shows the color of a minister, it indicates discord between ministers and the ruler. If it shows the color of captivity, it signifies drought in summer. If it shows the color of death, it indicates a major epidemic in June, harming the nobleman, and there will be construction projects. If it remains stationary, many young children in the corresponding region will die prematurely. If it moves forward by one mansion and joins the five planets, there will be flooding in the corresponding region. If it retreats by one mansion and the five planets catch up, great undertakings and military actions should not be initiated.

當其囚也，而有王色，則夏雨雪霜，蟄蟲生，雷電行；有相色，秋有暴兵；有休色，流水湯湯；有死色，有暴獄，大臣受殃；其進舍也，與五星合，有德令；其退舍也，五星及之，其下之國，不可舉事，用兵。

When the planet Water is in the state of 'captivity' but displays the color of 'sovereignty', it indicates snow and frost in summer, abnormal emergence of insects from hibernation, and frequent thunder and lightning. If it shows the color of 'minister', it foretells sudden military conflicts in autumn. If it shows the color of 'rest', it signifies the overflowing of rivers and streams. If it shows the color of 'death', it indicates excessive lawsuits and calamities befalling ministers. If the planet Water moves forward by one constellation and joins with the five planets, it signifies the issuance of benevolent policies. If it retreats by one constellation and the five planets catch up, the country beneath will not be able to undertake great undertakings or engage in warfare.

當其死也，而有王色，貴人疾疫；有相色，臣下疾疫；有休色，庶人疫；有囚色，大旱；其進舍也，與五星合，其年不登，政令重，使者相望；其退舍也，五星及之，其下之國，有兵不成。”

The planet of Water is in the state of "death" but shows the color of "sovereign," indicating that the nobleman will contract an epidemic. If it shows the color of "minister," it indicates that the officials will contract an epidemic. If it shows the color of "rest," it indicates that common people will suffer from an epidemic. If it shows the color of "imprisonment," it indicates a severe drought. If it moves forward one night and joins with the five planets, it signifies a poor harvest that year, harsh and burdensome government policies, and a constant flow of messengers traveling along the roads. If it retreats one night and the five planets catch up, the country under it will be unable to achieve success even if it launches an army.

甘氏曰：“候辰星以冬壬癸，此王氣色，當如其常，色變則失所也。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星色比織女大星，為正色；青比左角，赤比參右肩，黑比亢，此辰星之常色也。”《禮斗威儀》曰：“居水而王，辰星揚光。”

The Gan school says: Observing the water star, it should be observed on the days of Ren and Gui in winter, for that is when it is in its ruling position. Its color should be in accordance with its normal state; if it changes color, it has lost its position. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The proper color of the water star is one that can be compared to the bright star of the Weaver Girl; if it turns blue, it should be compared to the left star of the Horn mansion; if it turns red, it should be compared to the right shoulder of the Three Stars mansion; if it turns black, it should be compared to the Kangle mansion—these are the normal colors of the water star. The "Rituals of the Celestial Pole and Rituals" says: When the water virtue is in its proper time and the water star is in its ruling position, the water star will shine brightly.

《春秋緯》曰：“辰星之效也，其色春青黃；夏赤白若赤黃；秋青白，國有德令；冬黃而不明，皆無傷也。則變厥也，其時不昌；辰星當效而出，色白為旱；黃為福，又為五穀熟；赤為兵；黑為水；青為疫。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals Commentary says: When the planet Venus appears at the proper time, in spring it appears bluish-yellow, in summer reddish-white or reddish-yellow, in autumn bluish-white and the state has virtuous government and commands, in winter yellow but not very bright—these are all auspicious. If the color is abnormal or changes, that season will not flourish. When Venus appears at the proper time, if it appears white, it indicates drought; if yellow, it indicates blessing and abundant harvest of grain; if red, it indicates warfare; if black, it indicates flooding; if blue, it indicates plague.

石氏曰：“其國失刑，失冬政，則辰星易色。辰星在東方，其色赤，中國勝；其出西方而赤，倍海國勝；天下無兵於外而赤，則兵起。辰星其色黃而小，出而易處，天下之災變而不義美矣。辰星之制也，仲夏五月而出，則當赤黑色；今反青黑，其時多水；晚出為帚星，必有空國。”巫咸曰：“辰星四時皆變其色，不出其年，君以女憂亡；一曰以女樂亡。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星正旗而出，破軍殺將，視旗所指，順而擊之，大勝。”石氏曰：“辰星芒角為毀，則君蔽，期九年，奸與三九二十七年，亂不禁。”

The Shi school says: If a country's punishments are unjust and the winter policies are inappropriate, the water star will change its color. If the water star appears in the east and turns red, it indicates the Central Plains will achieve victory; if it appears in the west and turns red, it indicates the coastal countries will achieve victory; if there are no military conflicts in the world but the water star turns red, then military conflicts will arise. If the water star turns yellow but its body is small and then changes position, it indicates that calamities in the world will turn towards misfortune. According to the usual pattern of the water star, it should appear in midsummer May with a black-red color; if it appears instead as a dark blue-black color, there will be much flooding in that season; if it appears late and resembles the broom star, a country will be left empty. Wu Xian says: If the water star changes its color in all four seasons, it will not be accurate for the current year, and the ruler will perish due to female indulgence; another interpretation is that the ruler will perish due to indulgence in music and women. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the water star appears upright like a flag, it indicates the destruction of the army and the death of generals. Observe the direction pointed by the flag's tip, and attack in that direction to achieve a great victory. The Shi school says: If the water star shows apointed rays, it is a sign of destruction, indicating the ruler is being misled, lasting for nine years; wickedness grows threefold, reaching twenty-seven years, when chaos will be impossible to stop.

《春秋緯》曰：“辰星其時宜效而不效，為失律，天下有兵不出，兵在外不戰。辰星三時不出，兵甲大起；四時不出，天下更政。”《元命包》曰：“刑失，則簡宗廟，廢祭祀，故辰星不以時出，當寒反溫，四時錯政。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: When the planet Water does not appear at the proper time, this is called losing the regular order, indicating that although there are armies in the world, they do not move, and even if they are outside, they do not fight. If the planet Water does not appear for three seasons, it indicates great military activity; if it does not appear for four seasons, it indicates a change of government. The Spring and Autumn Original Mandate says: Once punishment is misapplied, it will neglect the ancestral temples and neglect worship, so the planet Water does not appear at the proper time, and when it should be cold, it becomes warm, and the commands of the four seasons become disorderly.

《春秋緯》曰：“辰星失其時而出，當寒反溫，當溫反寒，政反清濁、同倫也。”《考靈曜》曰：“政失於冬，辰星不效其鄉。”《孝經鉤命》曰：“失信則辰星縮，天下大水，歲不豐熟。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: If the planet Mercury appears out of season, then when it should be cold it will be warm, and when it should be warm it will be cold. This is due to the reversal of clear and turbid governance and the failure to distinguish between good and evil, treating them as equal. The Book of Documents: Examination of the Celestial Signs says: If the government's decrees are improper in winter, Mercury will not appear in its proper position. The Book of Filial Piety: Hook of Destiny says: If the ruler loses his virtue and faith, Mercury's movement will retreat, indicating great flooding and failure of the harvest.

石氏曰：“辰星當出而不出，謂之擊；卒伏而待，兵大起，豪傑發。”甘氏曰：“辰星政緩則不出，急則不入，非時則占。邦將大飢，辰星出不以時。”

The Shi school says: When the water star should appear but does not, this situation is called "ji"; it suddenly hides and waits for an opportunity, indicating a large-scale military campaign, with heroic men rising up in response. The Gan school says: When government policies are lenient, the water star does not appear; when policies are strict, it hesitates to disappear; any appearance or disappearance not in season should be used for divination. When a country is about to suffer a great famine, the water star does not appear at the proper time.

巫咸曰：“辰星一時不出，其時不和，兵起；二時不出，二時不和，一曰名水大出；三時不出，三時不和，兵甲大起；四時不出，天下大飢，有決水流，殺人民；一曰有孛星出於東方。

Wu Xian said: If the water star does not appear in one season, that season will have disharmonious weather and military conflicts will arise; if it does not appear in two seasons, those two seasons will be disharmonious, another interpretation says there will be great floods in famous rivers and streams; if it does not appear in three seasons, those three seasons will be disharmonious, and large-scale military campaigns will occur; if it does not appear in four seasons, there will be great famine across the land, embankments will break, floods will overflow, drowning the people; another interpretation says there will be a comet appearing in the east.

辰星春不見，期百八十日，大風發屋折木，秋不實，不見婁，長稼傷，乃見彗星。辰星夏不見，期百六十日，旱；冬則不藏，不見輿鬼，中稼傷，乃見月食。

When the planet Water does not appear in spring, it will be absent for a period of 180 days, indicating a great wind that will overturn roofs and snap trees, and crops in autumn will not bear fruit. If the planet Water is expected to appear in the mansion of Bond but does not, then mature crops will be damaged, followed by the appearance of a comet. When the planet Water does not appear in summer, it will be absent for a period of 160 days, indicating drought. In winter, when the planet should be hidden, it will not be hidden. If the planet Water is expected to appear in the mansion of Ghost but does not, then mid-season crops will be damaged, followed by an eclipse of the moon.

辰星秋不見，期百八十日，有兵不見亢，稚稼傷。辰星冬不見，期百八十日，陰雨六十日，有流民，夏則不長，不見牽牛，民大流；辰星上出四孟，天下亂；一曰天下更王。”

The planet of water does not appear in autumn, for a period of one hundred and eighty days, indicating military conflicts; if it should appear in the mansion of Kangle but does not, then late-maturing crops will be damaged. The planet of water does not appear in winter, for a period of one hundred and eighty days, indicating continuous rain for sixty days, with people wandering and displaced, and crops failing to grow by summer; if it should appear in the mansion of Qian Niu but does not, then the people will suffer great migration. If the planet of water appears beyond its proper position during the first month of each season, it indicates great chaos in the world; another interpretation is the change of a ruler.

《洪範五行傳》曰：“辰星出孟，易王之表也；漢高三年，辰星出四孟；後二年，漢滅楚也。”

The Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan says: When the water star appears in the first month of each season, it is a sign indicating a change of the ruler. In the third year of Han Gaozu, the water star appeared in the first month of each season, and after two years, the Han dynasty overthrew Xiang Yu's Chu state.

“辰星一時而再見，兵起；其行右，兵右行，行左，兵左行；有兵兵罷；一曰辰星一時再出，色赤而角。不出其年中而兵起。辰星亂行，流水湯湯，兵革搶搶；使之不殺，治溝渠，通水道；如此則止。辰星出天南，大潦；出北，大旱。”

The planet Water Star appears twice within a season, indicating the outbreak of military actions. If it moves to the right, the army will march to the right; if it moves to the left, the army will march to the left. If there was already military action, it will cease. Another interpretation says that if the Water Star appears twice within a season and appears red with a sharp edge, war will break out within the same year. If the Water Star moves erratically, there will be great flooding and chaos, leading to warfare. To prevent casualties, one should repair ditches and clear waterways, thus stopping the disaster. If the Water Star appears in the southern sky, it indicates major flooding; if it appears in the northern sky, it indicates major drought.

《海中占》曰：“辰星出四孟，為月食；出四季，彗星。主好破壞名山，雍塞大川，通谷，名水，則辰星不出；歲大旱，草木不長，禽獸牛馬不蕃，五穀不滋，民多病，體癰疽。辰星逆行一舍，以其時水出。”

The "Sea Divination" says: When the water star appears in the first month of each season, it indicates an eclipse of the moon; when it appears in the fourth month of each season, it indicates the appearance of a comet. If the ruler likes to destroy famous mountains, block great rivers, and obstruct famous waterways, the water star will not appear; then there will be a severe drought, with grass and trees unable to grow, animals and cattle unable to breed, grains unable to flourish, and people suffering from many diseases, with sores and boils appearing on their bodies. If the water star moves retrograde for one constellation, there will be a great flood during that season.

《京房對災異》曰：“人君內無仁義，外多華飾，則辰星失度，不救，必有逆主之謀；其救也，明刑、慎罰、審法，心中無縱，功治城郭；可以聘士來賢，廣恩行惠，則災消矣。”

Jing Fang's "Discourse on Portents and Anomalies" says: If the ruler lacks the substance of benevolence and righteousness within, yet displays excessive superficial ornamentation on the outside, the planet of water will deviate from its normal course. If this is not corrected, there will certainly be someone plotting rebellion against the ruler. The method of correction is to clarify the penal code, use punishment cautiously, examine the laws and regulations thoroughly, restrain one's inner desires, and carry out construction and repair of city walls and fortifications. Furthermore, if the ruler can recruit scholars and attract virtuous men, widely distribute kindness and implement benevolent policies, the portents will dissipate.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星出，不待其時；當水反旱，當旱反水。辰星不以時效者，用刑罰不中，辰星一時不效，其時不和；二時不效，風雨不適；三時不效，水旱不調；四時不效，王者憂綱紀，天下饑荒，人民流亡，去其鄉。

The book "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the water star appears but not at the proper time, there will be drought when there should be much water, and excessive water when there should be drought. If the water star does not appear at the right time, it is because punishment is not properly applied. If the water star does not appear for one season, the climate of that season will be out of harmony; if it does not appear for two seasons, the winds and rains will not be in season; if it does not appear for three seasons, the balance between water and drought will be lost; if it does not appear for four seasons, the ruler should worry about the breakdown of the rules and regulations, leading to famine across the land, and the people will flee, abandoning their homes.

辰星不效四仲，則春多苦雨，夏多悽風；當溫反寒，當寒反溫；陰陽不和，五穀不成。辰星出四季，有破軍。”巫咸曰：“辰星出四季，敗國。”

"The planet 'Chen Xing' is Mercury, which is closest to the Sun. It always appears near the horizon at dawn or dusk, hidden within the sunlight all year round. Therefore, ancient people regarded whether it appears when it should or hides when it should as the first important omen. Mercury presides over punishment, the north and winter, and the empress and庶 sons. This passage continues from the previous one: if Mercury does not appear on time during the 'four central' months corresponding to the equinoxes and solstices, then spring will have excessive cold and rainy weather, and summer will have fierce cold winds. When it should be warm, it becomes cold; when it should be cold, it becomes warm. The balance of yin and yang is disrupted, and thus the five grains cannot mature. If Mercury appears in the 'four seasonal' months of辰, 未, 戌, and 丑, it indicates the defeat of the army. Wu Xian said: if Mercury appears in the four seasonal months, it is a sign of the country's downfall."

《荊州占》曰：“辰星春不見，期百日，必有暴風疾雨，而傷苗稼；夏不見，為旱、飢，期九十日，有流民；秋不見，期六十日，大水；冬不見，五穀不藏，人民流亡；四時俱不見，河海決波。仲女為妖彗，見於二十八宿；各以其舍，命其國。辰星縮，天子失卒，臣害作。辰星亂行，甲兵鏘鏘，上見四孟，改政易王；見於四仲，陰陽和，五穀成；下見四季，寇賊相望，政失綱。辰星變色而逆，其國殃；留守環繞不去，其國大凶，無道。水星一南一北，寒於禾稷，侯王有憂。辰星行諸列宿，失道；乘陽為水，乘陰為旱。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If the water star appears in spring when it should not, the calamity will occur in one hundred days, and there will certainly be violent storms and heavy rains that damage the grain and crops; if it does not appear in summer, there will be drought and famine, and the calamity will occur in ninety days, with people fleeing and abandoning their homes; if it does not appear in autumn, the calamity will occur in sixty days, and there will be great flooding; if it does not appear in winter, the five grains will not be harvested and stored, and the people will scatter and flee; if it does not appear in any of the four seasons, the rivers, lakes, and seas will break their banks and cause great waves. The water star is originally associated with the image of the queen and her concubines, representing the soft and yielding aspect of yin. Once it becomes an abnormal comet-like form and appears among the twenty-eight star mansions, the calamity will be determined according to the territory corresponding to the mansion where it stays. If the water star moves slowly or retreats, the emperor will lose his soldiers, and ministers will rebel and cause chaos. If the water star moves erratically, there will be the sound of armor and weapons, indicating the outbreak of military conflict; if it appears in the months of the first quarters (寅, 巳, 申, 亥), there will be changes in government and a change of ruler; if it appears in the months of the middle quarters (丑, 辰, 未, 戌), there will be harmony between yin and yang and a bountiful harvest of the five grains; if it appears in the months of the last quarters (子, 丑, 午, 未), there will be bandits appearing everywhere on the roads, and the government will lose its order. If the water star changes color and moves retrograde, the territory corresponding to its position will suffer calamity; if it stays and circles around a star mansion for a long time, the country will face great misfortune, which is a sign of the ruler's wrongdoing. If the water star moves back and forth, the millet and rice will be harmed by cold, and the feudal princes will have worries. If the water star moves among the star mansions but deviates from its normal path, and it presses upon the northern "yang path," there will be flooding; if it presses upon the southern "yin path," there will be drought.

石氏曰：“辰星出孟月，天子尊師習兵，有殺謀。”郗萌曰：“辰星出西丁未間，天下大旱，赤地千里。”

Shi Shen said: When the water star appears in the four 'beginning months' of Yin, Si, Shen, and Hai, it indicates the emperor will show respect to his military advisor and conduct military exercises, while secretly planning to execute someone. Xi Meng said: When the water star appears between the western Ding position and the Wei position, it indicates a great drought across the land, with the earth cracked and no grass growing within a thousand li.

石氏曰：“辰星晝見，其國不亡則大亂。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星經天，凶。”

"Zhou Jian" refers to a star visible along with the sun during the day, while "Jing Tian" refers to a star crossing the meridian in the daytime. Mercury is naturally dim and often hidden within the sunlight, so seeing it during the day is an extremely unusual celestial phenomenon. Shi Shen said: when Mercury appears during the day, the corresponding region in the heavenly divisions is either doomed to fall or will experience great chaos. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: when Mercury crosses the meridian during the day, it portends misfortune.

《龍魚河圖》曰：“天辰之氣，主司災；其精下為先農之神。”巫咸曰：“辰星下為女子，止於都津。”石氏曰：“辰星之為雲，如曲流水，災期四月。”《春秋緯》曰：“辰星生足，故主走，新主入。”

The Longyu He Tu says: The celestial star Chen Xing's energy governs calamities and anomalies; its essence descends to the human world and becomes the deity "Xian Nong." Wu Xian says: The essence of the water star descends to the human world and transforms into a woman, remaining at the ferry of the capital city. Shi Shen says: The energy of the water star transforms into clouds, appearing as a curved stream of water, and the time of calamity occurs within four months. The Chūnqiū Wěi says: When a luminous appendage appears beside the water star, shaped like a foot, this is called "Sheng Zu," indicating the departure of the former ruler and the establishment of a new ruler.

石氏曰：“辰星始出東方而大，天下有兵。”巫咸曰：“辰星失其常，賊入且昌，社稷傾，亡事行，修鼓革，男女更，治事不治。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星出東方，白而大，有兵於外解；色黃，國有福，五穀熟；色赤，旱，為兵；色黑，為水；青，為憂；白，喪。”

Shi Shen said: When the water star appears from the east, it appears particularly large, indicating that there will be military conflicts throughout the land. Wu Xian said: When the water star deviates from its normal position, thieves invade and become increasingly rampant, the state and ancestral temples are overthrown, and all actions lead to the downfall of the country. People are busy repairing war drums and leather to prepare for war, with the positions of men and women becoming disordered and changing. The affairs of government appear to be in order but are actually not. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the water star appears in the east, if it is white in color and large in form, it indicates that military conflicts outside the country will be resolved. If it is yellow in color, the country will have good fortune and the five grains will be abundant. If it is red in color, it indicates drought and also military conflict. If it is black in color, it indicates flood disasters. If it is green in color, it indicates worries and troubles. If it is white in color, it indicates mourning and funerals.

巫咸曰：“辰星小而失常，主近無益之臣妾，內亂，兵起。”《天官書》曰：“辰星黃而小，出而易處，天下之文，變而不善矣。”巫咸曰：“辰星小而動。兵小起；大動，兵大起。”《文曜鉤》曰：“辰星小而色黃，地大動。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星始出東方，小而不明，天子有無益事。辰星小而色黃，當雨反旱，當旱反雨。”

Wu Xian said: When the water star is small in form and deviates from its normal position, it indicates the ruler is close to those who are not beneficial to the state, leading to internal disorder and military conflicts. The Records of the Grand Historian, in its section on celestial officials, says: When the water star appears yellow and small, and then changes its position, it signifies that the cultural and institutional systems of the world will deteriorate. Wu Xian said: When the water star is small and slightly trembling, minor military conflicts arise; if it trembles greatly, major military conflicts occur. The Wen Yao Gou says: When the water star is small and yellow, it indicates great earthquakes on earth. The Jingzhou Divination says: When the water star first appears in the east, is small and not bright, it indicates the emperor engages in useless affairs. When the water star is small and yellow, it indicates drought when rain is expected and rain when drought is expected.

巫咸曰：“辰星流，君臣倍，有反事；一曰流若明，明信有事。”石氏曰：“辰星流出，天下有大水，太子、御史，諸官多死。”

Wu Xian said: When the water star moves unpredictably, it indicates that the sovereign and ministers are mutually estranged, and there will be rebellions; another interpretation says that when the water star moves and shines brightly, the events it foretells are indeed reliable. Shi Shen said: When the water star disperses, it signifies great floods across the land, and many princes, officials, and various government officers will die.

《荊州占》曰：“辰星與宿合東方，臣伐主。”巫咸曰：“辰星與宿合，若關西方，期六月，強國宮中有事。”班固《天文志》曰：“辰星與他星過而斗，（晉灼曰：妖星，彗、孛之屬也。）一曰五星；天下大亂，出於房心間，地動。”

the so-called "he" means two stars meeting in the same degree;the so-called "dou" means they are close to each other as if fighting. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if the water star meets the constellations in the east, it indicates that ministers will attack the sovereign. Wu Xian says: if the water star meets the constellations, and it relates to the west, the event will occur within six months, and there will be disturbances in the court of a powerful state. Ban Gu's "Han Shu · Tianwen Zhi" says: if the water star passes by another star and they approach each other in a struggle (note: Jin Zhu says, here "other star" refers to a demon star, which includes comets and孛stars), another interpretation refers to the five stars; it indicates great chaos in the world. If this occurs between the constellations of Fang and Xin, there will be an earthquake.

《黃帝占》曰：“辰星生氣而為黑穰，明日大霧，暮時大雨；不出六十日，所在宿獨大水。”《孝經內記》曰：“辰星生氣而為黑穰者，不出六十日，牛馬羊皆貴三倍。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星出穰氣一丈，大水。”

"Rang Qi" is originally written as "Rang," referring to a cluster of qi rising beside a star, which is a type of stellar anomaly. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states: when the water star produces a black Rang Qi, there will be heavy fog the next day, and rain in the evening; within sixty days, the region corresponding to the constellation where the star is located will experience a major flood. The "Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety" says: when the water star generates black Rang Qi, within sixty days, the prices of cattle, horses, and sheep will triple. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: when the water star emits Rang Qi reaching a height of ten feet, it indicates a great flood.

《孝經右秘》曰：“辰星冠珥，帝不明；三月之中，正陽滅弱；下力強，陰制政，反蔽陽；佞人出，世有兵。辰星冠珥，王失土。”巫咸曰：“辰星白暈，邊有兵；其失色，兵，其國凶。辰星白暈，邊有水、兵，患三年乃止。”

"Guàn" refers to a short, cap-like appearance above a star, "Ěr" refers to short, ear ornament-like appearances on both sides of a star, and "Yùn" refers to a luminous halo surrounding the star. The "Xiao Jing You Mi" states: when the planet Venus has both "guàn" and "ěr," it indicates the emperor is not enlightened; within three months, pure yang energy declines; the lower ranks gain power, and yin energy controls the government, reversing to obscure yang energy; wicked ministers are promoted, and there will be military calamities. When Venus has both "guàn" and "ěr," it signifies the loss of territory by the king. Wu Xian says: if there is a white "yùn" ring outside Venus, it indicates military affairs on the borders; if the "yùn" ring loses its original color, it indicates the outbreak of war, and the region corresponding to the star will suffer misfortune. Venus with a white "yùn" indicates water disasters and military troubles on the borders, causing harm for three years before stopping.

郗萌曰：“辰星出彗東北，不出三月，兵聚其下。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：光武建帝三十年閏月甲午，水在東井二十度，生白氣，東南指，焰長五尺，為彗，東北行至紫宮西潘工，白氣為喪，有焰作彗，彗，所以除積，紫宮天子之宮，彗加其蕃，除宮之象，後三年，光武崩。）

Xi Meng said: The planet Water appears in the Northeast with a comet-like tail, and within three months, a large number of soldiers will gather under the area corresponding to its position. (Note from the original text: Sima Biao's "Continued Book of Han · Astronomical Records" states that on the leap month Jiawu day of the thirtyrd year of Guangwu Emperor's reign, the planet Water appeared at twenty degrees of the Well mansion, emitting a white light pointing to the Southeast, with a flame extending five feet long, forming a comet-like shape, moving towards the West boundary of the Purple Micro Palace in the Northeast. White light signifies mourning, and when white light produces flame and forms a comet, it signifies the sweeping away of accumulated filth. The Purple Micro Palace is the imperial palace of the Son of Heaven, and the comet's influence upon the palace walls signifies the cleansing of the palace. Three years later, the Guangwu Emperor passed away.)

《黃帝占》曰：“辰星出中道，天下太平；出陽道，旱；出陰道，多雨，多陰謀；乘左角為旱；乘右角為水、兵，小戰。乘右角，將相，若后家族有坐法死者。近角合斗，女子為天下害，大臣殺主。留兩角間，關梁不通，軍有寡，國庭邊境不通。守角，王者刑罰急，國有帝者，天下大亂；又為水災，一曰多水災；一曰五穀不成；又曰大水滂滂，民往來舟船相望。守左右角，黑為水；赤為旱；青為憂；白為喪。守角中央，為大臣憂。”

The two stars of the Horn Mansion are the horn of the Eastern Blue Dragon. Between the left and right horns lies the Heavenly Gate, through which the Yellow Path passes. The book "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: when the planet Mercury is on the Yellow Path's central path, it signifies peace throughout the world; if it is偏向 the north, the "Yang Path," it signifies drought; if it is偏向 the south, the "Yin Path," it signifies much rain and many conspiracies. If the planet is pressing upon the left horn star, it signifies drought; if it is pressing upon the right horn star, it signifies flood disasters and military conflicts, with small-scale battles. If it is pressing upon the right horn, it signifies that someone from the prime minister's family or the queen's family will be executed for breaking the law. If the star is close to the horns and presses upon them, it signifies that a woman will cause chaos throughout the world, and a minister will kill the king. If the star remains between the left and right horns, it signifies that passes and bridges are blocked, the military has a shortage of soldiers, and communication between the capital and the borders is cut off. If the star stays at the horns, it signifies that the king imposes harsh punishments, there is another person claiming to be emperor within the country, and great chaos occurs; it also signifies floods, one interpretation says many floods; another says poor harvests of grain; another says great floods, with people traveling only by boat, and boats looking at each other on the water. If the star is at the left or right horn, a black color signifies water, a red color signifies drought, a blue color signifies worry, and a white color signifies death. If the star is at the center of the two horns, it signifies worry among the ministers.

辰星舍亢，歲小水，焦旱不至。辰星數入亢，其國疫病。乘亢左星，萬物不成，五穀貴。乘右星，為大兵，有奇令。乘若守亢左星，為水；乘右星，為大兵，為有擊者；逆乘滅右星，為大人憂。守亢，多盜，賊、兵並起，人民相惡。逆行守亢，為中央。入亢而犯守之，名曰陰閉三光，大水滂滂，無有立牆。

The four stars of Kangle are located east of Jiao Xu, representing the inner court of the Son of Heaven, governing diseases and legal punishments. If the planet of water is stationed in Kangle, it indicates minor water disasters in the current year, but severe drought will not occur. If the planet of water frequently enters Kangle, it signifies an epidemic in the region corresponding to Kangle. If the planet presses upon the star on the left side of Kangle, it indicates failure of all things and high prices of grain. If it presses upon the star on the right side, it indicates major military affairs and extraordinary imperial edicts. If the planet presses upon or guards the left star of Kangle, it indicates water; if it presses upon the right star, it indicates major military conflict and attacks. If the planetretrograde presses upon and covers the right star, it indicates that the nobleman will have worries. If the planet guards Kangle, it indicates many bandits, thieves, and military troubles arising together, with people hating each other. If the planetretrograde guards Kangle, the effect will be seen in the central region. If the planet enters Kangle and also offends or stays within it, it is called 'Yin closure of the three lights,' meaning the Yin energy blocks the sun, moon, and stars, leading to great floods, so severe that even a wall cannot stand.

辰星入氐犯守，貴臣暴憂，法官有獄事。乘氐右星，天下有大水，大兵；天子有自將兵於野。守氐，其下七日有水，守十八日，有兵大起，遠九十日。守氐，多惡風，天下大旱，谷不成；天下大疫，國易政。守氐，多為水災。

The four stars of the Root mansion are located east of the Neck mansion, representing the resting place of the Son of Heaven and also governing the imperial concubines. If the planet of water enters the Root mansion and invades or stays there, it indicates sudden misfortune befalling prominent ministers, and officials in charge of law and punishment will deal with many lawsuits. If a star presses upon the right side of the Root mansion, it signifies great floods and great military conflicts; the Son of Heaven will personally lead troops to campaign in the fields. If the planet stays in the Root mansion, it indicates that within seven days there will be flooding in the region corresponding to the Root mansion; if it stays for eighteen days, there will be large-scale military movements, and distant conflicts may occur within ninety days. Staying in the Root mansion also indicates frequent bad winds, widespread drought, and unripe crops; it also signifies a great plague and changes in state policies. Staying in the Root mansion also often indicates water disasters.

郗萌曰：“辰星入房三道，為天子有子。入房十日，成勾已，為天子忌之，以赦解之。守房，人民多暴死者；又為良馬出廄；或有暴誅，大臣相害，乘天下，道不通；一曰天下水起，不則有兵。守鉤鈴，地裂；若山崩。

The four stars of Fang Su are located east of Di Su, representing the Bright Hall where the Son of Heaven governs and issues decrees. These four stars are likened to four horses drawing a carriage. Between them there are three paths: upper, middle, and lower. There are also two stars called Gou Qin beside them. Xi Meng says: When the planet Water enters the upper, middle, and lower paths of Fang Su, it indicates the Son of Heaven will have a son. If Water enters Fang Su and remains for ten days, then due to retrograde motion and irregular path, it follows a winding course like 'Gou Si', indicating the Son of Heaven should be cautious and issue a great amnesty to resolve the issue. If the stars guard Fang Su, it signifies many people will die suddenly; or fine horses will be released from the stables; or there will be sudden executions, ministers will attack each other, oppression will spread throughout the land, and roads will be blocked. Another interpretation is that it signifies flooding across the land, or otherwise military disaster. If the stars guard the two stars of Gou Qin beside Fang Su, it indicates the earth will crack open; or mountains will collapse.

辰星犯守房，馬大貴，若大赦。入守房心間，地動。守房，為人主無下堂；又曰東去而復遠，成勾已，為后夫人有喪；一曰為大飢，人相食，死者不葬；又曰守南，以水起兵。守房，為天下諸侯相謀，慮道不通；一曰天下易王，大人喪，有反逆臣。

When the water star invades and guards the Room mansion, it indicates that the price of horses will be very high, or there will be a great amnesty. When it enters and guards between the Room mansion and the Heart mansion, it indicates an earthquake. When it guards the Room mansion, it indicates that the sovereign should not descend from the hall. It also says that when the water star moves eastward and then goes further away, forming a 'gou si' winding shape, it indicates that the queen or empress will have a death. Another interpretation says it indicates a great famine, people eating people, and the dead being left unburied. Another says that when it guards the southern part of the Room mansion, it indicates military action caused by water disasters. When it guards the Room mansion, it indicates that the feudal lords will plot against each other, with blocked thoughts and unpassable roads. Another interpretation says it indicates a change of sovereigns, the death of a nobleman, and the emergence of rebellious ministers.

逆行守房心，天子被藥酒死；一曰宮人食糟糠。犯房，谷大貴，大飢；犯若守房，有白衣之會；一曰為天下相誅；若犯左右驂，大人中相誅。犯房，奸臣有謀。

When the planet Mercury retrogrades and guards the Room mansion and Heart mansion, it indicates the emperor will be poisoned to death by wine; another interpretation suggests that people in the palace can only eat moldy rice and bran. Offending the Room mansion leads to high grain prices and great famine; offending or guarding the Room mansion indicates gatherings for white-cloth funerals; another interpretation suggests mutual killings throughout the country. Offending the骖 stars on either side of the Room mansion indicates nobles in the court will kill each other. Offending the Room mansion indicates that ministers in secret plot against the state.

辰星留逆犯守乘陵房左右驂，若左右服，皆為主崩；臣有謀，陰所中將謀；逆行乘陵中道，天子失位而亡；順行乘陵中道，天下和平。辰星犯乘鉤鈐，大臣有悞天子不尊事天者，致大災於宗廟；王者不宜出宮下殿，有謀匿於宮廟中者。犯鉤鈐，王者憂。中犯乘陵房星者，國君憂；色青，憂喪；赤、憂積尸成山；黑，有將相誅；白芒角，大哭。”

When the planet Water is stationary, retrograde, or intrudes upon the left or right骖 stars, or the left or right服 stars of the House of Fang (Fang Su), it indicates the death of the sovereign, ministers plotting secretly, and people being slandered and about to rebel. If the planet Water retrogrades and intrudes upon the central path of the House of Fang, it indicates the sovereign losing his throne and dying. If the planet Water moves forward and intrudes upon the central path, it indicates peace throughout the land. If the planet Water intrudes upon the two stars called Gou Qian, it indicates a high official delaying the sovereign, causing the sovereign to be disrespectful to heaven, thus bringing great disaster to the ancestral temple. The sovereign should not leave the palace or descend from the hall, as there are conspirators hidden within the temple. If the planet Water intrudes upon Gou Qian, it indicates the sovereign will have worries. If the planet Water intrudes upon the House of Fang stars from the center, it indicates the sovereign will have worries. If the color of the star is blue, the worry relates to death; if red, it relates to a large number of corpses; if black, it indicates ministers or generals being executed; if white with apointed rays, it indicates great mourning.

辰星犯天子，王者絕嗣；犯太子，不得代；犯庶子，庶子不利。辰星經心，清明烈照，天下內奉明王，帝心延年。合心，玄色不明，有喪。

The three stars of the Heart Mansion, known as Xin Xu, consist of a central large star called "Tian Wang," also known as the King's Star. The star before it is called the Crown Prince, and the one after is called the Common Son. Together, these three stars are referred to as the Bright Hall. If the planet Mercury approaches the central Tian Wang star, it indicates the monarch will have no successors. If it approaches the Crown Prince star, it suggests the Crown Prince cannot ascend the throne. If it approaches the Common Son star, it indicates misfortune for the Common Son. When Mercury passes through the Heart Mansion, if its light is clear and bright, it signifies that the entire realm will honor a wise monarch, and the monarch's virtue will be prolonged. If Mercury aligns with the Heart Mansion and the stars appear dark and unclear, it foretells mourning events.

守心，以水滅火，三日不去，主服女藥，大臣相戮，山川大潰，水溢滂滂；一曰大人以外兵死；色黃，增地；色白，有義於天下；一曰陰侵於陽，臣謀其主；又曰天下大敗，易王；一曰大臣弒主。

The planet of Water is stationed at the Heart Mansion, which belongs to the element of Fire, while the planet of Water belongs to the element of Water. This forms an image of Water extinguishing Fire. The planet remains for three days without departing, indicating that the sovereign will consume medicine given by a woman, and ministers will kill each other. Mountains and rivers will experience great collapse, and floods will be vast and overflowing. Another interpretation suggests that a nobleman will die from foreign military disaster. If the star appears yellow, it signifies an increase in territory. If it appears white, it indicates the spread of virtue throughout the world. Another interpretation suggests that this is an invasion of Yin over Yang, with ministers plotting against the sovereign. It also suggests a great defeat across the land, leading to a change in the sovereign. Another interpretation suggests that a minister will kill the sovereign.

逆行守房心，天子被藥酒死；一曰官人食糟糠，辰星中犯乘守心，明堂，大人憂，大臣當之；在陽、為燕；在陰，為胡；期十月、遠三年。逆行犯心、明堂、環繞成勾已，為大人憂；期六月，若遠三年，赦以解之。

The planet Water retrogrades and guards the Room mansion and Heart mansion, indicating the death of the emperor by poisoned wine; another interpretation suggests that only wine lees and rice bran can be consumed in the palace. When the planet Water directly offends, dominates, or guards the Heart mansion's Bright Hall, it indicates trouble for the Nobleman, and the effect falls upon the ministers. If it occurs in the Yang position, the effect is in Yan; if in the Yin position, it is in Hu. The time of effect is ten months, or as long as three years. If the planet Water retrogrades and offends the Heart mansion's Bright Hall, circling around it and then exiting in a 'gou si' winding pattern, it indicates trouble for the Nobleman. The time of effect is six months, or as long as three years, and can be mitigated by a general amnesty.

辰星中犯乘守心、明堂，皆為內亂，臣欲殺主，有亡國；近期十月，中期一年，遠期二十八年；又曰大臣當之。留逆犯守乘陵心星者，宮內賊亂，臣下有謀易王；權在宗家及得勢大臣。

The planet Water Star (水星) approaching, pressing upon, or staying at the Heart Mansion (心宿) and Bright Hall (明堂) indicates internal disorder, with ministers plotting to kill the sovereign, leading to national ruin. The time of occurrence may be as near as ten months, as moderate as one year, or as distant as twenty-eight years. It also suggests that the effect will manifest upon the ministers. If the Water Star stops, retrogrades, approaches, stays, or presses upon the stars of the Heart Mansion, it signifies internal rebellion within the palace, with ministers scheming to replace the king. Authority will shift into the hands of the royal family and powerful ministers.
