The mansion ofBond mansion indicates two.

石氏曰：“婁三星，十二度。（古十五度）度距中央星先至，去極八十度。（在黃道內十二度）春夏為水，秋冬為火。（巫咸曰：婁，水星也。）婁南九尺，是中道。（魯之分野）《佐助期》曰：“婁主苑牧，神名及方，姓臺衛。”《黃帝》曰：“婁主宗廟五祀；一名天府，郊太牢也。”

Shi Shen said: TheBond mansion consists of three stars and spans twelve degrees. The original commentary notes: the ancient measure was fifteen degrees. The measurement takes the central star as the reference star, which first reaches the meridian, and it is located eighty degrees north of the northern celestial pole. The original commentary notes: it is located twelve degrees north of the Yellow Path. TheBond mansion corresponds to water in spring and summer, and to fire in autumn and winter; the original commentary notes cite Wu Xian's view that娄belongs to water. Nine chi to the south of the娄宿 is the central path where the sun, moon, and five planets move. The original commentary notes: the territory of the娄宿 is in the state of Lu. TheZuo Zhu Qi says: the娄宿 governs parks and livestock breeding, and the star god is named Ji Fang, with the surname Tai Wei. TheHuangdi Zhan says: the娄宿 governs ancestral temples and the five regular sacrifices; it is also known as 'Tian Fu', which oversees the great sacrificial offerings used in the suburban sacrifices.

《西官候》曰：“婁，一名密官；一名國市；一名天廟。庫婁者，天獨祿車也，主為聚眾之事。其木，柱也；其物，鉛、錫、銀、黃金、石。”《聖洽符》曰：“婁者，聚眾也。”《孝經章句》曰：“婁，市也。”巫咸曰：“婁為天獄。”郗萌曰：“有聚眾之事，則占於婁。”《海中占》曰：“天子孝，則婁星明大，天下太平。”

The Western Palace Observations state:Bond mansion is also called "Mimilitary," "National Market," and "Heavenly Temple." The group of stars known as Kulu is a celestial chariot that carries grain, and it governs matters of gathering people. The wood associated with it is pillar wood, and the products associated are lead, tin, silver, gold, and jade. The Sacred Harmony Symbol says: The meaning of娄 is to gather people. The Chapter Commentary on the Filial Classic says:娄 is the market. Wu Xian says:娄 is the heavenly prison. Xi Meng says: Whenever there are matters of gathering people, one should consult the娄 star. The Sea Divination says: When the Son of Heaven practices filial piety earnestly, the娄 star becomes bright and large, and the world is at peace.

郗萌曰：“婁星直，有執主之命者就聚，國大不安；一曰星明大，則賦斂時。”《玄冥占》曰：“婁星明，則王者郊祀，天享之；天子明，臣子多忠孝，王者多子孫，天下和平；婁不明大，小失色，不修五祀。”《石氏贊》曰：“婁主苑牧，給享祀，故置天倉以養之。婁主苑牧，有掩斂蓋藏，以春營。”

Xi Meng said: If the stars of Lou Xu are arranged in a straight line, it indicates that someone holding the king's mandate is gathering together to form a faction, causing great unrest in the state; another interpretation says that if the stars are bright and large, the collection of taxes will be in accordance with the proper season. The "Xuan Ming Zhuan" says: When the stars of Lou are bright, the king will perform the sacrificial rites at the outskirts of the capital, and the heavens will accept the offerings; the Son of Heaven is wise and virtuous, ministers are numerous and loyal, the king's descendants are numerous, and the world is peaceful. If the stars of Lou are not bright and large, but small and lose their original color, it indicates that the five sacrificial rites have been neglected. The "Shi School Commentary" says: The star of Lou governs the royal parks and livestock, providing the necessities for sacrifices, so the stars called "Heavenly Granary" are set beside it to raise livestock. The star of Lou governs the royal parks and livestock, implying the meaning of gathering and storing, and this is carried out in the spring season.

石氏曰：“胃三星，十四度。（古十一度）度距西南星先至，去極八十二度。在黃道內十二度。春夏為木，秋冬為水，（巫咸曰：胃，金星也。）胃南九尺，是中道。”（趙之分野，《淮南子》、《洪範傳》曰：魏分。）《佐助期》曰：“胃主稟倉，神名稽覽，姓研骨白。”《西官候》曰：“胃，一名天中府；一名密官，為兵，為喪。”（金星也）

Shi Shen said: The Stomach Mansion consists of three stars and spans fourteen degrees. The original commentary notes that in ancient times the measure was eleven degrees. The measurement takes the star in the southwest as the reference star, which first reaches the meridian. It is located eighty-two degrees south of the north celestial pole, twelve degrees north of the Yellow Path. The Stomach Mansion corresponds to wood in spring and summer, and to water in autumn and winter; the original commentary cites Wu Xian's view that the Stomach Mansion belongs to metal. Nine chi to the south of the Stomach Mansion is the central path of the sun and moon and the five planets. The original commentary notes that the territory of the Stomach Mansion is in the State of Zhao. The Huainanzi and Hongfan Zhuan say it belongs to the State of Wei. The Zuo Zhu Qi says: The Stomach Mansion governs the granary, and the star god is named Ji Lan, with the surname Yan Gu Bai. The Xi Guan Hou says: The Stomach Mansion is also called "Tianzhongfu" and "Miguan," governing military affairs and funeral matters. The original commentary notes that it belongs to metal.

《聖洽符》曰：“胃者，倉稟也。”《孝經章句》曰：“胃者，庫也。”《天官書》曰：“胃者，天庫。”《百二十占》曰：“胃為天府，藏也。”郗萌曰：“將有倉囷之事，占於胃。”《二十八宿山經》曰：“胃山、昴山，東與畢山相連，在趙常山中央，其山最高大，胃、昴、畢之神，常居其上。”

The Shengqie Fu says: The stomach is the granary. The Xiaojing Zhangju says: The stomach is the treasury. The Records of the Grand Historian, Tian Guan Shu says: The stomach is the celestial treasury. The Bai'er Shi Zhan says: The stomach is the Treasury Star and Command Star, which is a place of storage. Xi Meng says: Whenever there is a plan to build granaries, one should consult the mansion of the stomach. The Twenty-Eight Mansions Mountains Jing says: The mountain corresponding to the mansion of the stomach, the Gaishi Mountain, and the mountain corresponding to the mansion of the Hairy Head, the Maoshan, extend eastward to connect with the mountain corresponding to the mansion of the Net, the Bishan, all located in the central part of the state of Zhao and Changshan. This area has the highest and most towering mountains. The celestial spirits of the mansions of the stomach, the Hairy Head, and the Net reside on these mountains year-round.

甘氏曰：“胃動，有輸運之事；胃星明者，王者郊天得福，天下和平；星不明，大小失位。”《海中占》曰：“胃星明大，王者須祀，則壽命長，子孫昌。”郗萌曰：“胃星明大，倉稟實；胃星離徙，倉穀不出；其星就聚，谷大貴，民流於道。”《荊州占》曰：“胃中星眾者，谷聚；星少，谷散。”《石氏贊》曰：“胃主倉稟五穀基，故置天囷以盛之。”又曰：“胃宿三星，主倉稟，陰收積聚，（一雲萬物積聚）知入藏。”

Gan De said: When the star of the Stomach mansion moves, there will be changes in transportation and conveyance. When the star of the Stomach is bright, the king will perform worship at the outskirts of the capital and gain blessings, and the whole world will be peaceful; if the star is dim, all other stars will be disordered, and lose their proper positions. The Sea Divination says: When the star of the Stomach is bright and large, the king only needs to follow proper rituals in worship, and will live long and have prosperous descendants. Xi Meng said: When the star of the Stomach is bright and large, granaries will be full; when the star departs from its proper position and moves, the grain in the granaries will not be distributed; when other stars gather inward, the price of grain will rise sharply, and the people will flee along the roads. The Jingzhou Divination says: When there are many stars in the Stomach mansion, grain will be stored in abundance; when there are few stars, grain will be lost. The Shi school praised: The Stomach mansion governs granaries, being the foundation of the five grains, so stars such as 'Heavenly Granary' are set around it to store grain. It also said: The three stars in the Stomach mansion govern granaries, being of yin nature and responsible for gathering and storing—note in the original text: one version says 'the accumulation of all things'—they manage the storage and preservation of grain.

石氏曰：“昴七星，十一度。（古十五度）度距西南第一星先，去極七十四度。（在黃道內四度少）春夏為火，秋冬為金。（巫咸曰：昴，火星也。）昴南九尺，是中道。”（趙之分野。《淮南子》曰：魏分。）《佐助期》曰：“昴主獄事，神名敖，姓金，宋趙勝。”《西官候》曰：“昴，一名武，一名天廚，一名天路；胡星。主兵、主喪；其一星亡，邦有兵，水星也。”

Shi Shen said: The mansion of Maomu consists of seven stars and spans eleven degrees. The original commentary notes that the ancient measurement was fifteen degrees. The measurement takes the southwest first star as the reference star; it reaches the meridian first, and is located seventy-four degrees south of the north celestial pole. The original commentary notes that it is located four degrees north of the Yellow Path. The mansion of Maomu corresponds to fire in spring and summer, and to metal in autumn and winter; the original commentary cites Wu Xian's saying that Maomu belongs to fire. Nine chi to the south of Maomu is the middle path of the sun and the five planets. The original commentary notes that the territory of Maomu belongs to the state of Zhao; the Huainanzi says it belongs to the state of Wei. The Zuo Zhu Qi says: Maomu governs judicial punishment, and the star god is named Ao, surnamed Jin, also known as Zhao Sheng from the state of Song. The Xi Guan Hou says: Maomu is also called 'Wu', 'Tianchu', and 'Tianlu', and is the star of the Hu people, governing military affairs and mourning; if one of its stars disappears, there will be military affairs in the country, and it belongs to the element of water.

甘氏曰：“昴，茅也。”郗萌曰：“昴有一星大，名黃星；其星明者，天下安，不明者，天下大凶。”巫咸曰：“昴井，天耳目。”《黃帝》曰：“昴星，天牢獄也；王者承天，以利獄事，以檢淫奢；其星不欲明，明則天下多獄者。”《春秋緯》曰：“昴為旄頭，房衡位，主胡星，陰之象。”

Gan De said: "Ao is the grassy thicket, taking the meaning of gathering together." Xi Meng said: "Among the stars of Ao, there is a particularly large star called Huang Xing; when this star is bright, the world is at peace; when it is dim, the world faces great calamity." Wu Xian said: "The stars of Ao and Dong Jing are the ears and eyes of Heaven." The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" said: "The star of Ao is the heavenly prison; the king, following the will of Heaven, uses it to properly handle lawsuits and restrain licentiousness and extravagance. This star should not be bright; if it is bright, there will be many people imprisoned throughout the land." The "Chun Qiu Wei" said: "Ao is 'Mao Tou,' located in the position of measurement of Fang Su, it is the star governing the Hu people, symbolizing something of yin nature."

《聖洽符》曰：“昴者，白衣。（巫咸曰：昴為白衣聚。）又曰：胡聚。”《孝經章句》曰：“昴，市府廷也。”郗萌曰：“將有白衣之會，則占於昴。”《爾雅》曰：“西陸，昴也；一曰天獄。”石氏曰：“天街者，昴、畢之間，陰陽之所分，中國之境界。”（《天官書》曰：陰、陰國，陽、陽國，孟康曰：陰、西南維，河山以北國也；陽、河山以南國也。）

The Sheng Qia Fu says: "The昴宿 governs matters concerning white-clothed people." The original book's small note cites Wu Xian's saying: "The昴宿 is an image of the gathering of white-clothed people—white-clothed people refer to those wearing mourning clothes, so it governs gatherings of funerals." It also says it governs the gathering of Hu people. The Xiao Jing Zhang Ju says: "The昴宿 is the market and the court." Xi Meng says: "Whenever there is a gathering concerning funeral matters, one should consult the昴宿 for divination." The Erya says: "The 'west land' is the昴宿; another interpretation says it is the celestial prison." Shi Shen says: "The so-called 'heavenly street' lies between the昴宿 and the Bi constellation, and it is the boundary between yin and yang, as well as the boundary of the Central Plains territory." The original book's small note cites the Tian Guan Shu, which says: "One side of the heavenly street belongs to yin and is associated with yin countries, while the other side belongs to yang and is associated with yang countries." Meng Kang explains that yin refers to the southwest corner, that is, the states north of the Yellow River and the Hua Mountains; yang refers to the states south of the Yellow River and the Hua Mountains.

《元命包》曰：“帝位明，即昴星光大。”甘氏曰：“昴星明，天下多犯獄；昴星動搖，必有大臣下獄；又曰：有白衣之會；又曰：昴星大而數動，盡跳者，胡兵大起，不出年中；又曰昴一大星跳躍，餘皆不動者，胡欲侵犯邊境；期年中，或三年。”

The Yuan Ming Bao says: When the imperial throne is bright, the star of Mao宿 shines brightly. Gan De says: When the star of Mao宿 is bright, there will be many people committing crimes and facing legal punishment; when the star of Mao宿 wavers, there must be a case of high officials being imprisoned; it also says there will be gatherings of mourning; it also says when the star of Mao宿 becomes large and keeps jumping, and the seven stars all jump, the army of the Hu people will rise in great force, and it will come true within the same year; it also says when a large star in Mao宿 jumps while the other stars remain still, it is a sign that the Hu people intend to invade the border, and the time of this event will be within one year, or possibly up to three years.

郗萌曰：“昴星明大，則牢獄平；昴星皆明，與奎星等者，水滿天下。昴七星，黃道起。昴有一星亡者，多兵為喪。”《五官書》曰：“白帝行德，畢、昴為之圍；圍三暮，德乃成；不暮及圍不合，德不成。”《石氏贊》曰：“昴主獄事，典治囚，故置捲舌，以慎疑。昴主獄事，繫凌淫化，伐所犯，謀是當。”

Xi Meng said: The star of Maomu is bright and large, indicating fair handling of prison affairs; when all the stars of Maomu are bright and their brightness matches that of Kuai Star, it signifies great flooding across the land. The seven stars of Maomu are the starting point of the Yellow Path. If one star among the Maomu stars disappears, it indicates much warfare and loss. The "Five Officials Book" says: When the White Emperor of the West exercises virtue, the constellations of Bi and Maomu will be surrounded by a luminous aura; if this surrounding lasts for three nights, the virtue will be completed; if it does not last for three nights, or if the surrounding aura does not close properly, the virtue will not be completed. The "Shi School Commentary" says: Maomu governs judicial affairs and the management of prisoners, so it has the stars of "Juantie" around it to handle doubtful cases carefully. Maomu governs prison affairs, handling all matters of detention, oppression, and immorality, transforming and judging crimes, ensuring that the punishment is appropriate.

石氏曰：“畢八星，附耳一星，（附耳，主聽察也）十七度。（古十五度）度距左股第一星先至，去極七十八度。（在黃道外六度太）春夏為金，秋冬為水。（巫咸曰：畢，火星；附耳，水星也。）畢北七尺，是中道。”（趙之分野，王者執畢前驅，即其象也。一曰囚車，今掩免者曰：畢亦其義也。故主弋鼠。其大星曰天高。一曰邊將邦外候也。《淮南子》曰：魏分野。）

Shi Shen said: The constellation Bi Xu consists of eight stars, with an additional star called "Fu Er" — the original commentary notes that "Fu Er" is associated with listening and observing. This constellation spans seventeen degrees. The original commentary notes that in ancient measurements it was fifteen degrees. The measurement takes the first star of the left arm as the reference star; it is the first to reach the meridian, located seventy-eight degrees south of the north celestial pole. The original commentary notes that it is located more than six degrees south of the Yellow Path. In spring and summer, Bi Xu corresponds to metal; in autumn and winter, it corresponds to water. The original commentary cites Wu Xian's view that Bi Xu belongs to fire and Fu Er belongs to water. Seven chi to the north of Bi Xu is the central path for the movement of the sun, moon, and five planets. The original commentary notes that the territory associated with Bi Xu is the State of Zhao. When the king travels, someone carries a long-handled Bi net in front to clear the way, which is derived from this constellation. Another interpretation says that Bi Xu resembles a prison cart; today's term "yan mian" refers to covering with a net, so Bi Xu also takes this meaning, hence it is associated with hunting small animals such as mice. The bright star in the constellation is called "Tian Gao." Another interpretation says it symbolizes a border general, serving as a lookout beyond the national borders. The "Huainanzi" says: the territory associated with Bi Xu belongs to the State of Wei.

《佐助期》曰：“畢主邊兵，神名扶骨，姓傳兒候。”皇甫謐曰：“一名天耳，一名天目；一名風口。”《西官候》曰：“畢，一名濁；一名天罡；一名天都尉；主制候四方。”《聖洽符》曰：“畢者揚兵；一曰清池宮。”《河圖》曰：“畢為天罡也。”《孝經章句》曰：“畢府廷也。”巫咸曰：“畢為天獄。”

The "Zuo Zhu Qi" says: The constellation Bi governs border defense and military affairs, and its star deity is named Fu Gu, with the surname Chuan'er Hou. Huang Fu Mi says: Bi is also called "Tian'er" (Heaven's Ear), "Tianmu" (Heaven's Eye), and "Fengkou" (Wind Mouth). The "Xiguan Hou" says: Bi is also called "Zhu" (Mud), "Tian Gang" (Heavenly Gang), and "Tian Duwei" (Heavenly Deputy Commander), and it oversees military discipline and observes the four directions. The "Sheng Qia Fu" says: Bi is responsible for promoting military might; another account says it is the Qingchi Palace. The "He Tu" (Yellow River Chart) says: Bi is the same as Tian Gang. The "Xiaojing Zhangju" says: Bi is the court. Wu Xian says: Bi is the Heavenly Prison.

郗萌曰：“畢主山河以南中國也；中國於四海內，則在東南為陽，陽則曰歲星、熒惑、填星；占於街南。”《春秋緯》曰：“畢罕車，為邊兵，主弋獵，陽微掇，故置附耳在大星旁，司天下搖動，讒臣亂主。”《春秋緯》曰：“畢為邊界天街，主守備外國；故立附耳，以聞不祥。”郗萌曰：“將有田獵之事，則占於畢。”

Xi Meng said: The mansion of Bi is in charge of Huashan and the area south of the Yellow River in the Central Plains; the Central Plains is located in the southeast within the four seas, belonging to yang. Since it belongs to yang, it is under the jurisdiction of the year star, the planet of fire, and the planet of filling. When making predictions, one should look at the celestial region south of the celestial street. The "Spring and Autumn Wei" says: The mansion of Bi is also called "Hanche," in charge of border defense forces and hunting; since the yang energy is still weak and needs to be controlled, a star called Fu'er is set beside the main star, specifically responsible for monitoring disturbances in the world and the treachery of ministers causing chaos in the state. The "Spring and Autumn Wei" also says: Bi is the celestial street at the border, in charge of guarding against foreign states, so the star Fu'er is set to hear of ominous events. Xi Meng said: Whenever there is an event of hunting, one should consult the mansion of Bi for divination.

《黃帝》曰：“畢左股大星，邊將也；主邊邦胡狄，候五帝三王壘外域，其國倍叛，其星耀芒；其星欲明，明則遠夷來貢；失其色，大小不如其故，則邊境還自亂，中國不寧；天以畢罪掃奸雄，平通外域。”《西官候》曰：“畢大星，邊將軍也；星動，有芒角，邊將有急。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The large star in the left leg of the Net mansion symbolizes the border general, governing the various tribes of the northern barbarians, serving as the watchmen for the emperors of successive dynasties to observe beyond the frontier; if the states rebel, this star shines with a bright芒角. This star is good when it is bright; brightness indicates that distant夷人 will come to pay homage. If it loses its original color and becomes dimmer than before, the border will become chaotic on its own, and the Central Plains will not enjoy peace. Heaven uses the Net mansion to punish, to eliminate villains, to pacify and connect with the outside world. The Western Officials' Divination says: The large star of the Net mansion is the border general; if this star moves and produces apointed rays, the border general will face urgent difficulties.

《百二十占》曰：“畢主弋獵，為陽國；昴為陰國，日月五星出陽國，即有水；入陰國，即旱，上教不行。”《黃帝》曰：“其國背叛，畢星耀芒。”《元命包》曰：“畢星光大，色度和同，天下太平，國號未央。”郗萌曰：“畢星動搖，有讒臣，畢一星亡，為喪；一曰為兵，畢中星出，國內亂；一曰國無主；畢星明大，則邊無近遠，夷貢來王廷中；畢離移，天下獄大亂；其星就聚，法令大酷；其明，太平；不明，天下謀為亂。”

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" states: The constellation Bi governs hunting, belonging to a yang state; the constellation Mao belongs to a yin state. When the sun and moon and five stars pass through the territory of a yang state, there will be water disasters; when they enter the territory of a yin state, there will be droughts, and the ruler's moral teachings will not be effectively implemented. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: If the state under its jurisdiction rebels, the star Bi will shine with a bright edge. The "Yuan Ming Bao" says: When the star Bi shines brightly and its color and degree are harmonious, the world will be peaceful and the state's fortune will be endless. Xi Meng says: If the star Bi wavers, there will be slanderous ministers in the court; if one star in the constellation Bi disappears, it signifies mourning, another interpretation suggests military affairs; if the central star in the constellation Bi deviates from its position, there will be internal turmoil, one interpretation suggests the country lacks a ruler. If the star Bi is bright and large, then regardless of distance, the barbarians will come to the court to pay homage; if the constellation Bi moves away from its position, the world will experience great chaos in lawsuits; if all the stars gather inward, the laws and regulations will be extremely strict; if the star is bright, the world will be peaceful; if the star is dim, there will be people plotting rebellion.

《列宿說》曰：“畢星動者，邊城有兵起。”石氏曰：“附耳著畢，司街候邪。”巫咸曰：“附耳，火官也。”《黃帝》曰：“附耳搖動，有田之事。”《洛書》曰：“附耳角動，讒賊將起。”《春秋緯》曰：“附耳明，賊動。（宋均曰：賊盛也。）中國微，邊兵驚，外國交斗連年，大將虜，主敗失，附耳搖動，非其處，有亂臣在側者；一曰主憂愁。”《論語讖》曰：“附耳明，盜賊令。”

The "Catalogue of Stars" says: When the star of Bi moves, there will be military affairs in the border cities. Shi Shen says: Fu'er is attached to the Bi mansion, specifically responsible for guarding and watching the heavenly street, and detecting evil deeds. Wu Xian says: Fu'er is the official in charge of fire. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: When Fu'er shakes, there will be hunting activities. The "Luo Writing" says: When Fu'er sprouts芒角 and moves, people who spread slander and cause harm will arise. The "Spring Annals' Brocade" says: When Fu'er is bright, bandits will be active. The original book's marginal note cites Song Jun's comment: This refers to the power of bandits being strong. The central plains are declining, border garrisons are alarmed, foreign states are fighting year after year, generals are captured, and the ruler suffers defeat and loses territory. When Fu'er shakes but does not stay in its proper position, it indicates that there are rebellious ministers close to the ruler; another interpretation suggests it indicates worry. The "Commentary on the Analects" says: When Fu'er is bright, thieves will run rampant.

郗萌曰：“附耳入畢口，直一星，期四十日；直二星，期三十日；直三星，期二十日；直四星，期十日；直五星，期七日；直六星，期三日，兵起。附耳入畢中，為兵革；入深大，附耳縮結，王命興，輔佐出。附耳動，兵大起，邊兵尤甚。”《石氏贊》曰：“畢主邊兵，備夷謀，故置天弓以射之。畢為天街，主邊兵，守備境界，知暴橫。附耳移動，讒邪行。”

Xi Meng said: When the ear-like star enters the mouth of the Net mansion, and is aligned with one star, the event will occur in forty days; with two stars, in thirty days; with three stars, in twenty days; with four stars, in ten days; with five stars, in seven days; and with six stars, in three days — all indicate military action. When the ear-like star enters the Net mansion, it signifies military calamity; if it penetrates deeply and the ear-like star contracts and twists, then the royal decree will be issued, and the minister will emerge to take office. If the ear-like star moves, military affairs will greatly increase, and warfare on the borders will be especially severe. The Shi school praised: The Net mansion governs the border army, guarding against the schemes of the barbarians, so it has the "Heavenly Bow" stars set beside it to shoot and repel them. The Net mansion is the heavenly thoroughfare, governing border troops, defending the borders, and observing acts of violence. The movement of the ear-like star indicates that wicked ministers will act unchecked.

石氏曰：“觜觽三星，一度。（古六度）度距西南星先至，去極八十四度。（直黃道外十二度太）春夏為水，秋冬為土。（巫咸曰：觜，金星也。）觜北三尺，是中道。（晉魏之分野，《淮南子》曰：趙分。）《西官候》曰：“觜觽主斬刈，左足一名白虎將；一名天將，斧鉞；白虎首主外軍，其外梁也；其內魏也；其木楊，其物錢金器、礬石，金星也。”

Shi Shen said: The Zi Xu constellation consists of three stars and spans only one degree. The original commentary notes that the ancient measurement was six degrees. The measurement takes the star in the southwest as the reference star, which first reaches the meridian, and is located eighty-four degrees south of the north celestial pole. The original commentary notes that it is more than twelve degrees south of the Yellow Path. In spring and summer, Zi Xu corresponds to water; in autumn and winter, it corresponds to earth. The original commentary cites Wu Xian's statement that Zi Xu belongs to metal. Three chi to the north of Zi Xu is the central path of the sun, moon, and five planets. The original commentary notes that the territory corresponding to Zi Xu is in the regions of Jin and Wei. The Huainanzi says it belongs to the state of Zhao. The Xi Guan Hou says: Zi Xu governs execution and removal. Its left foot is named 'White Tiger General' and 'Heavenly General', symbolizing the punishment of axes and halberds. The head of the White Tiger governs armies outside the borders, corresponding to Liang in the outside and Wei in the inside. The associated wood is Yang, and the associated products are coins, metal objects, and alum stone, belonging to the metal element.

《聖洽符》曰：“觜觽、參伐，天市梁也。”石氏曰：“觜觴者，內主樑，外主巴漢；一曰觜觽者，三軍之候也。”巫咸曰：“觜為寶貨，又為天貨。”《天官書》：“小三星隅置，曰觜觽，為白虎首，主葆旅之事。”（如淳曰：關中俗謂：桑榆藥生曰葆，晉灼曰：葆，菜也，野生謂之旅。）

The Shengqia Fu says: Zi Zhu and Shen Fa are the bridges of the Heavenly Market. Shi Shen says: Zi Zhu is within the realm of Liang land, and outside it governs the areas of Ba and Han; another view says Zi Zhu is the vanguard of the three armies. Wu Xian says: Zi is treasure, also called Tianhuo. The Records of the Grand Historian, Tian Gao Shu says: three small stars arranged in a triangle are called Zi Zhu, which is the head of the White Tiger, governing matters of 'Bao Lu'. The original commentary cites Ru Chun, who says: in the Guanzhong region, the local term for herbs growing naturally between mulberry and elm trees is 'Bao'; Jin Zhu says: 'Bao' refers to vegetables, and wild ones are called 'Lu'—together they refer to wild herbs and vegetables.

《列宿說》曰：“觜觽動，葆旅起，將有葆旅之事，則占於觜。”《二十八宿山經》曰：“觜觽山與參山相連，在魏天山西南，觜參星神，常居其上。”甘氏曰：“觜觽三星，行軍府藏也；其星欲明，明則國盈，軍有儲；其星不明，不以出軍行將，天下軍士無食，王者將出，必察其星。”

The *Lie Xu Say* states: When the stars of the Turtle Beak mansion move, wild grasses and vegetables will proliferate; whenever there is an occasion for gathering or traveling, one should consult the stars of the Turtle Beak mansion. The *Twenty-Eight Mansions Mountain Classic* says: The mountain corresponding to the Turtle Beak mansion and the mountain corresponding to the Three Stars mansion are connected, located in the southwest of the Tian Mountains in the state of Wei, with the star spirits of the Turtle Beak and Three Stars mansions residing on the mountain all year round. Gan De says: The three stars of the Turtle Beak mansion are the granaries for military campaigns; these stars are favorable when bright, as brightness indicates abundant state resources and military supplies; if the stars are dim, it is not advisable to send troops or appoint generals, otherwise the soldiers will have no food. When the king is about to go to war, he must first observe these stars.

《百二十占》曰：“觜大鳧，其星明，則盜賊眾。”石氏曰：“觜星動明，寇戎發，盜群行。”郗萌曰：“觜星近參左股，臣有謀其君者，若主之命，奪主之藏；近右股，大臣謀伐其主，若有大命。觜星明，大將得勢。”《石氏贊》曰：“觜參主葆旅，收斂；故置參伐以相助。”

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" says: The Zi Xu star is also called the Great Goose. When this star is bright, thieves will be numerous. Shi Shen says: When the Zi Xu star moves and shines brightly, bandits will rise up and thieves will appear in groups. Xi Meng says: When the Zi Xu star approaches the left leg of the Can Xu constellation, it indicates that ministers may plot against their sovereign, or that someone may falsely claim the sovereign's command to seize the sovereign's treasury; when it approaches the right leg, it indicates that high officials may plot to attack their sovereign, or that a major imperial decree will be issued. When the Zi Xu star is bright, generals will gain power. The "Shi School Commentary" says: The Zi and Can constellations oversee the gathering of wild plants and herbs, which are matters of collection, so stars such as Fen and Fa are placed beside them to assist.

石氏曰：“參十星，十度。（古度同）度距中央西星先至，去極九十四度半少。（在黃道外二十三度半）春夏為水，秋冬為土。（巫咸曰：參，金星也。）參北十三尺，是中道。”（晉魏之分野，《左氏傳》子產曰：昔高辛氏有二子，伯曰閼伯，季曰實沈，不相能，尋干戈以相征伐。注曰：尋，用也，傳曰：后帝不藏，注曰：后帝，克也，傳曰：遷閼伯於商丘，主辰，注曰：商丘宋地，主祀辰星大火也。傳曰：商人是因，辰為商星，遷實沈於大夏，主參。《淮南鴻烈》曰：趙分。）

Shi Shen said: The mansion of Sanxiu consists of ten stars and spans ten degrees. The original commentary notes: This is consistent with the ancient measure. The measurement takes the star slightly west of the center as the reference star, which reaches the meridian first, located about ninety-four and a half degrees south of the north celestial pole. The original commentary notes: It is located about twenty-three and a half degrees south of the Yellow Path. The mansion of Sanxiu corresponds to water in spring and summer, and to earth in autumn and winter; the original commentary cites Wu Xian's view, stating that Sanxiu belongs to metal. Thirteen feet to the north of Sanxiu is the central path along which the sun, moon, and five planets move. The original commentary notes: The territory corresponding to Sanxiu is in the regions of Jin and Wei. The Zuo Zhuan records Zi Chang's words: In the past, the high emperor Gaoxin had two sons, the elder named Yebó and the younger Shishen, who did not get along and fought with weapons against each other; the commentary explains that 'xun' means to use weapons. The text says 'hou di bu zang', and the commentary explains 'hou di'—the original text reads 'ke', which should be a mistake for 'Yao'. The text also says: Yebó was moved to Shangqiu and was entrusted with the worship of Dachen; the commentary says that Shangqiu is the later Shang state, and what it worships is the star of Chen, the Great Fire. The text also says: The Shang people continued this worship, so Chen is also called the Shang star; Shishen was moved to Daxia and was entrusted with the worship of Sanxiu. The Huainanzi Honglie says: The territory corresponding to Sanxiu belongs to the state of Zhao.

《佐助期》曰：“參伐主斬刈，神名虛圖，姓祖及。”《黃帝》曰：“參應七將也，中央三小星，曰伐，天之都尉也，主胡、鮮卑、戎、狄之國，故不欲其明也。”《孝經章句》曰：“參伐，市府廷也；又為天尉。”巫咸曰：“參為衡。”石氏曰：“參伐，一名鍾龍。”

The "Zuo Zhu Qi" says: The groups of stars Shen and Fa are in charge of cutting off and executing, and the star deity is named Xu Tu, with the surname Zu Ji. The "Huang Di Zhan" says: The Shen star corresponds to seven generals; the central three small stars are called "Fa," which are the heavenly magistrates, in charge of the Hu, Xianbei, Rong, and Di nations, so they do not wish for them to be bright. The "Xiao Jing Zhang Ju" says: Shen and Fa are the market and the government hall, and also the heavenly magistrates. Wu Xian says: Shen is the measure. Shi Shen says: Shen and Fa are also known as "Zhong Long."

《天官書》曰：“參為白虎，三星直也，為衡；右下有三星，銳曰罰。”（晉灼曰：星邪列為銳。）為斬刈事，其外四星，左右扇股也。參一名伐，一曰大辰，一曰天市，一曰鈇鉞，又為天獄。”《彗星要占》曰：“參者，天之市也；伐者，天之都尉也；天之車騎也；與狼狐同精，天之候蜀也；主南夷戎之國，一曰晉地。”

The Records of the Grand Historian: Book of Celestial Officials says: The star cluster known as Shen is the White Tiger, and the three stars arranged in a straight line are called the Scale and Balance. Below and to the right, there are another three stars arranged diagonally, called 'Fa'. The original commentary cites Jin Zhuo from the Jin dynasty, saying that stars arranged diagonally are called 'Rui'. Shen governs matters of execution and elimination; its four outer stars are the shoulders and thighs of the White Tiger. Shen is also called 'Fa', 'Da Chen', 'Tian Shi', 'Fu Yue', and is also regarded as the Celestial Prison. The Essentials of Comets and Divination says: Shen is the celestial market, Fa is the celestial commander and also the celestial chariot and cavalry; it is in harmony with stars such as Tianlang and Yaji, and is the scout sent by heaven to Shu, governing the southern barbarian states, or alternatively, the state of Jin.

《玉曆》曰：“參中央星，主命；左星，主左司馬；右星，主右司馬；左臂，主天門；右臂，主天獄。”《西官候》曰：“參左大星，左將軍也；右大星，右將軍也；中央三星，三將軍；又三小星，小將軍也；主胡、鮮卑、越野諸君王也，其星動搖，兵起。”《聖洽符》曰：“參者，白虎宿也；足入井中，名曰滔足，虎不得動，天下無兵；足出井外，虎得放逸，縱暴為害，天下兵起。”

The *Yulü* says: The central star of the Three Stars mansion governs longevity, the star on the left governs the Left Minister of War, and the star on the right governs the Right Minister of War; the left arm governs the Heavenly Gate, and the right arm governs the Heavenly Prison. The *Xiguan Hou* says: The large star on the left of the Three Stars mansion is the Left General, the large star on the right is the Right General, the three central stars are the Three Generals, and the other three small stars are the minor generals; they govern the rulers of the Hu, Xianbei, and the wild lands of Yueshi. When these stars move, war will break out. The *Shengqia Fu* says: The Three Stars mansion is the mansion of the White Tiger; when the tiger's foot extends into the Well mansion, it is called "tāo zú" (treading), and the tiger is unable to move, so there will be no warfare in the world; when the tiger's foot extends outside the Well mansion, the tiger is free to act, causing chaos and harm, and warfare will occur in the world.

《命元苞》曰：“參主斬刈，所以行罰也；又主權衡，所以平理也；又主邊城九驛，故不欲其動也；參，白虎之體也；其星三列，三將也；東北星曰左肩，主左將軍；西北星曰右肩，主右將軍；東南星曰左足，主後將軍；西南星曰右足，主偏將軍。”

The "Ming Yuan Bao" says: The star Shen governs execution and punishment, used to carry out penalties; it also governs measurement and balance, used to make fair judgments; it also governs nine relay stations at the border, so it is not desired to move. Shen is the body of the White Tiger, with three stars aligned, symbolizing three generals; the star in the Northeast is called the Left Shoulder, governing the Left General; the star in the Northwest is called the Right Shoulder, governing the Right General; the star in the Southeast is called the Left Foot, governing the Rear General; the star in the Southwest is called the Right Foot, governing the Assistant General.

《黃帝占》曰：“參星，天右將軍也；天市石武，金性剛強，斬刈平時，參應七將；其中三星，列三將也；右肩右足，右將也，左肩左足，左將也；白虎性有怒，左足下有井星，動而陷之，以節其勢；凡七將明大，天下之兵精，衛帝有方，茂明、芒角又張，赤耀橫射，三軍駭動，帝自躬甲。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: The Sanxu stars are the Right General in the heavens; they belong to the Tianshi mansion and have the nature of a strong and firm military force, like metal. Metal is strong and resolute, governing the cutting off of enemies, the establishment of order, and the execution of justice. The Sanxu correspond to seven generals. Among them, the three stars are aligned, symbolizing three main generals; the right shoulder and right foot belong to the Right General, while the left shoulder and left foot belong to the Left General. The White Tiger is easily angered, and there is a well star beneath its left foot. When the tiger moves, it falls into the well, thus restraining its power. All seven generals' stars are bright and large, indicating the military forces of the world are strong and well-protected, guarding the emperor effectively. If their light becomes overly intense, with sharp rays spreading out and red flames shooting across, the entire army will be alarmed, and the emperor will have to personally don armor and go to battle.

郗萌曰：“參為橫衡，不正，天下傾。”《百二十占》曰：“參為將軍，常以夏三月視參，兩足進前，兵起；若退卻，兵罷國寧；又視參兩星動搖，則兵起，子有憂；一曰蟲苗。”《易緯》曰：“參無頭，國分兵疆。”《聖洽符》曰：“參伐者，衣冠衡石，天子之師也。”《春秋緯》曰：“參伐滅絕，臣弒君，子弒父。”

Xi Meng said: The Three Stars mansion is like a horizontal scale; if the scale is not straight, the world will be overturned. The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" say: The Three Stars symbolize the general, and during the three summer months, one observes the Three Stars: if the two feet move forward, it indicates the outbreak of war; if they retreat, it signifies the cessation of war and national peace. Also, if the two stars of the Three Stars mansion shake, war will arise, and there will be worries for descendants; another interpretation suggests it indicates pests damaging crops. The "Yi Wei" says: The Three Stars mansion has no head, indicating the country's division and the excessive strength of the military. The "Sheng Qie Fu" says: The Three Stars and the Felling Star symbolize the rites and ceremonies of the crown and the measures and standards of law, representing the emperor's army. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: When the Three Stars and the Felling Star are extinguished and cut off, it signifies ministers killing the sovereign and sons killing their fathers.

石氏曰：“參左足不入井中，兵大起，參星不欲動，動則兵起；其星不具，其軍亡地；星失其色，其軍散敗；蹉跌不常，王臣不忠，外其心。參中央星差南，胡人入塞；復正，胡人出。”

Shi Shen said: The Three Stars mansion's left foot does not extend into the Well mansion, and great military actions will arise. The Three Stars should not move; once they move, the army will launch an attack. If the stars are incomplete, the army will lose territory. If the stars lose their original color, the army will scatter and perish. If the positions of the stars are unstable and abnormal, the king's ministers will be disloyal and have their minds elsewhere. The central star of the Three Stars mansion is偏向 southern, and the Hu people will invade the border posts; when it returns to its proper position, the Hu people will withdraw.

郗萌曰：“參星移，名曰失天，客伐主人；明動者，兵軍大起；參兩肩外向而大者，兵外疆；其內向而大者，兵內疆。參左股亡，則東方、南方不可舉兵；右股亡，則西方、北方不可舉兵。參左足入玉井中，兵大起，天下大水；若其有喪，山石為怪。

Xi Meng said: When the Three Stars mansion shifts position, it is called "losing heaven," indicating that the guest army will attack the host country. If the star is bright and moves, it signifies the rise of a large army. When the Three Stars mansion spreads its shoulders outward and becomes larger, the military strength is strong outside; when it contracts inward and becomes larger, the military strength is strong inside. If the left leg of the Three Stars mansion disappears, military operations in the east and south should be avoided; if the right leg disappears, military operations in the west and north should be avoided. If the left foot of the Three Stars mansion enters the Jade Well star, there will be great military movements and a great flood across the land; if this is accompanied by mourning, strange phenomena will also occur in mountains and rocks.

參為天刑，主伐；星大，則兵起；進退迫居，及客番息，皆為刑急。參星明者，大將執勢，奪去威權，天下變易。參星不明，大將疾。參星離處，大將逐；就聚，大將誅戮。參中央星差北，胡人北。”《荊州占》曰：“參星芒角動搖，邊候有急，天下兵起。參肩細微，天下兵弱。”石氏曰：“參四足，有進者，將出；有退者，無功失勢；進者，謂移北也；退者，謂南也。”

The Three Stars mansion represents heavenly punishment and military campaigns. When the stars become bright, war is imminent. If the stars move forward or backward without stability, or if foreign stars appear nearby and flourish, it indicates severe punishment. When the Three Stars are bright, generals hold power and seize the authority of the sovereign, leading to changes in the state's affairs. If the Three Stars are dim, the generals will be ill. If the Three Stars depart from their proper position, the generals will be exiled. If all the stars gather inward, the generals will be executed. If the central star of the Three Stars is inclined to the north, the northern barbarians will retreat northward. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: if the芒 and 角 of the Three Stars shake, there will be urgent matters at the border outposts and wars will break out. If the two shoulders of the Three Stars are weak and dim, the military strength of the world will decline. Shi Shen says: the four legs of the Three Stars, if they move forward, indicate that generals will go to war; if they move backward, it means that generals will fail without success.所谓 "forward" refers to moving northward;所谓 "backward" refers to moving southward.

《春秋緯》曰：“伐有角，黃芒，天子滅。”《春秋緯》曰：“數世絕，則伐生角。”《合誠圖》曰：“伐有角，諸侯之寢排門閣。”甘氏曰：“參伐動者，有斬伐之事。”巫咸曰：“伐，水宮也。”郗萌曰：“參伐星明大，則斬刈行。伐三星去，疏則法令緩，數則法令急。伐三星不欲明，明與參等者，天下大臣皆謀去，其君是謂不理。伐星大，則兵起。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: When the star of Wei produces apointed rays and emits a yellow glow, it indicates the downfall of the Son of Heaven. The Spring and Autumn Writings also say: When the dynasty's fortune lasts for several generations and then ends, the star of Wei will develop a horn. The Diagram of Harmony says: When the star of Wei develops a horn, the doors of the princes'寝宫 will be forced open. Gan De says: When the stars of Shen and Wei move, there will be acts of cutting off and killing. Wu Xian says: The star of Wei is the official of water. Xi Meng says: When the stars of Shen and Wei are bright and large, acts of killing will be carried out. The three stars of the Wei constellation, when spaced apart, indicate lenient laws, and when close together, indicate strict laws. The three stars of the Wei constellation should not be bright; if they shine as bright as the star of Shen, then all the ministers of the country will plot to leave, and the ruler may be called one who cannot govern the state. When the star of Wei becomes larger, there will be military action.

《百二十占》曰：“伐星移南，胡山塞；移北，胡山塞。”《石氏贊》曰：“參伐斬刈，陰氣孳，故置玉井，以給廚。參伐主斬刈，摧傷九州，合謀自敗失。”劉向《洪範傳》曰：“西方八十三度，今八十度。”

The "One Hundred and Twenty Divinations" states: If the star of Fa moves southward, there will be troubles in the mountain passes of the Hu lands; if it moves northward, the mountain passes of the Hu lands will also have troubles. The "Shi School Commentary" says: The stars Shen and Fa are associated with cutting and killing, and from here the Yin energy grows. Therefore, they set up the "Jade Well" stars nearby to supply the kitchen. Shen and Fa are associated with cutting and killing, breaking and damaging the Nine Provinces, and those who plot evil will ultimately bring about their own downfall. Liu Xiang's "Hongfan Transmission" says: The seven stars of the Western Dipper cover eighty-three degrees, but the current measurement is eighty degrees.

石氏曰：“東井八星，鉞一星，三十三度。（古二十九度）度距北南轅西頭第一星先至，去極七十度。（在黃道外二度半）春夏為火，秋冬為水。（巫咸曰：東井，水星也。）日月五星行貫井，是中道；秦之分野。”《黃帝占》曰：“東井，天府法令也，天讒也，一名東陵，一名天井，一名東井，一名天關，一名天闕，一曰天之南門，三光之正道。

Shi Shen said: The East Well mansion has eight stars, with an additional star called 'Yu'. This mansion spans thirty-three degrees. The original commentary notes that in ancient measurements it was twenty-nine degrees. The measurement is taken with the first star at the western end of the northern and southern yuans as the reference star; it is the first to reach the meridian, and it is located seventy degrees from the north celestial pole. The original commentary notes that it is located two and a half degrees south of the Yellow Path. In spring and summer, the East Well mansion corresponds to fire; in autumn and winter, it corresponds to water. The original commentary cites Wu Xian's view that the East Well mansion belongs to water. The sun and moon, and the five wandering stars pass through the East Well mansion, which is the central path. The territory corresponding to the East Well mansion is the state of Qin, which is now the area of Shaanxi. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The East Well mansion is the decree of the Treasury star and Command star, and also the heavenly slanderous mouth. It is also called 'East Tomb', 'Heavenly Well', 'East Well', 'Heavenly Gate', and 'Heavenly Palace'. One interpretation says it is the southern gate of heaven, the correct path for the sun, moon, and five wandering stars to travel.

行不出其中，為天下無道；三光行經其中，不得留守。東井主水，用法清平如水，王者心正，得天理；則井星正行位，主法制著明；左垣四星，四輔也；右垣四星，以輔赤帝；井中六星，主水衡；其星明大，水橫流。”

If the sun, moon, and five wandering stars do not pass through the Well mansion, it is a sign that the world is disorderly. When the three luminaries pass through the Well mansion, they should not remain stagnant or linger. The Well mansion governs water, symbolizing the principle of clear and impartial governance like water. When the king maintains a just and upright heart in accordance with heavenly principles, the star of the Well mansion will move in its proper position, indicating that laws and regulations are clearly established. The four stars on the left represent the four ministers assisting the Son of Heaven, while the four stars on the right assist the Southern Red Emperor. The six stars within the Well mansion govern the officials responsible for water affairs. If these stars are bright and large, it signifies great floods.

《孝經章句》曰：“東井為天渠。”巫咸曰：“東井為天亭、天候；又曰井鬼夏獄。”《廣雅》曰：“東井曰鶉首。”《玉曆》曰：“東井曰天齊。”齊伯曰：“東井、天渠也；主於員山，又為其國市。”何法盛《懸象說》曰：“井，女主之象也。”《百二十占》曰：“東井為天池。”《二十八宿山經》曰：“東井、輿鬼山，在秦火山南；井鬼星神，常居其上。”

The "Commentary on the Classic of Filial Piety" says: East Well is the celestial channel. Wu Xian says: East Well is the celestial pavilion and celestial official; it also says that the constellations of Well and Ghost are the summer court of punishment. The "Broad Meaning" says: East Well is called "Chunshou." The "Jade Calendar" says: East Well is called "Tianqi." Qi Bo says: East Well is the celestial channel, governing the area of Yuan Mountain, and also serves as the market of that region. He Fa Sheng's "Explanation of Celestial Phenomena" says: Well represents the female ruler. The "One Hundred and Twenty Divination" says: East Well is the celestial pool. The "Twenty-Eight Constellations and Mountains Classic" says: The mountain of Well and the mountain of Ghost are located south of the fire mountain in the state of Qin, and the star deities of the constellations of Well and Ghost reside on the mountains all year round.

《聖洽符》曰：“井、鉞星大而明，斧鉞且用，兵起。”《易緯》曰：“鉞星明，主自逋，諸侯亂。”石氏曰：“東井墮，天下湧水。井、鉞去，則水滿。”甘氏曰：“用法平，王者心正，則井星明，行位直。鉞星明，則臣多犯罪者。”《海中占》曰：“井鉞一星，司淫奢；其星不欲明，明則斧鉞用，以斬伏誅之臣。”

The Shengqia Fu says: The Well Mansion and the钺 star are large and bright, indicating the use of斧钺 punishment, and military actions will arise. The Yi Wei says: A bright钺 star indicates that someone will flee on their own, and the feudal lords will rebel. Shi Shen says: If the East Well star falls, great floods will arise throughout the world; if the Well star and the钺 star are out of their proper positions, the waters will spread widely. Gan De says: When the law is applied impartially and the king's heart is upright, the Well star will be bright and move in its proper position. A bright钺 star indicates that there will be many criminals among the ministers. The Hai Zhong Zhan says: The Well and钺 stars are responsible for matters of licentiousness and extravagance; this star should not be bright. If it is bright, then斧钺 will be used to execute those who deserve punishment.

焦延壽曰：“天鉞星不與井齊，則大臣有斬者，以欲然也。”郗萌曰：“斧鑕用，王命興，輔佐出。”《石氏贊》曰：“東井，主水衡，以平時故；置鉞星，斬淫奢。東井八星，主水衡；井者像法，水法水平定，執性不淫，故主衡。”

Jiao Yanshou said: The Yin Benefactor star does not align with the Well mansion, indicating that there will be a minister who is executed, because it has already shown a readiness to act. Xi Meng said: The use of斧锧 (axe and iron block) signifies the rise of the king's decree, and the minister who assists will take on responsibilities. The Shi school praised: The Well mansion governs officials responsible for water balance, due to its principle of fairness; the钺 star is placed beside it to cut off excess and extravagance. The eight stars of the Well mansion govern water balance; "Well" is taken as a symbol of law and order. The law of water is level and stable, holding to its nature without excess, thus governing balance.

石氏曰：“輿鬼五星，四度。（古五度）度距西南先至，去極六十八度。（在黃道內太）春夏為火，秋冬為水。（巫咸曰：鬼，土星。）輿鬼南六尺，是中道。秦之分野。”郗萌曰：“弧射狼，誤中參左肩，輿尸於鬼；鬼之言歸也。”《南官候》曰：“輿鬼，一名天鈇鑕；一名天訟；主察奸，天目也。”

Shi Shen said: Yu Gui consists of five stars and spans four degrees. The original commentary notes: the ancient degree was five degrees. The measurement takes the star in the southwest as the reference star, which first reaches the meridian, located sixty-eight degrees north of the northern celestial pole. The original commentary notes: it is slightly north of the Yellow Path. Yu Gui corresponds to fire in spring and summer, and to water in autumn and winter; the original commentary cites Wu Xian's view that Yu Gui belongs to earth. Six feet south of Yu Gui is the middle path along which the sun, moon, and five planets move. The territory corresponding to Yu Gui is the State of Qin. Xi Meng said: the arc and arrow star shoots at Tian Wang, but mistakenly hits the left shoulder of Can Xiu, so it carries the corpse upon Gui Xiu; "Gui" means "return," as death is called returning. The "Nan Gao Hou" says: Yu Gui is also called "Tian Fu Zhi" and "Tian Song," which is in charge of detecting wickedness, and is the eye of heaven.

《孝經章句》曰：“輿鬼為夏獄；又曰天金玉府也；又名天匱、天壙；其星明，則兵起而戰，不用節；無兵，兵雖在外，不戰。”《黃帝占》曰：“輿鬼南星，（石氏曰：南二尺一星。）積布帛；西星，（石氏曰：西二尺一星。）積金玉；北星，（石氏曰：北二尺一星。）積銖錢；東星，（石氏曰：東二尺一星。）積馬；中央星，積尸。”

The "Commentary on the Classic of Filial Piety" says: "Yugui is the judicial system of summer; it is also the storehouse of gold and jade in the heavens; it is also called 'Tiankui' and 'Tiantuang.' When this star is bright, there will be military conflict and warfare without restraint; if the star is dim, there will be no military action, even if armies are stationed abroad, there will be no battle." The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: "The star to the south of Yugui — according to the small note, referring to the star two chi to the south — governs the accumulation of silk and cloth; the star to the west — according to the small note, referring to the star two chi to the west — governs the accumulation of gold and jade; the star to the north — according to the small note, referring to the star two chi to the north — governs the accumulation of money; the star to the east — according to the small note, referring to the star two chi to the east — governs the accumulation of horses; the central star governs the accumulation of corpses."

石氏曰：“鬼東北一星，主積馬；東西一星，主積兵；西南一星，主積布帛；西北一星，主積金玉；此四星有變，則占其所主也；中央色白、如粉絮者，所謂積尸氣也；一曰天尸，故主死喪，主祠事也；一曰鈇鑕，故主法，主誅斬。”

Shi Shen said: The star in the northeast of Gu Xiuzhu governs the accumulation of horses, the one to the east and west governs the accumulation of weapons, the one in the southwest governs the accumulation of silk and cloth, and the one in the northwest governs the accumulation of gold and jade. When these four stars undergo a change, one should predict according to the matters they govern. The mass that appears white in color and looks like powdered flour in the center is called 'Ji Shi Qi'. Yu Gui is also known as 'Tian Shi', so it governs death and mourning, as well as worship. It is also called 'Fu Zhi', so it governs legal punishment and execution.

郗萌曰：“輿鬼中者，為鑕；鬼星章明，人民更相請召，五穀熟成。”《玉曆》曰：“輿鬼為天尸，朱雀頸；中星如粉絮，鬼為疫害。”《南官候》曰：“輿鬼者，天廟；主神祭祀之事。其國，秦也；其木，楊也；其物，馬牛羊虎也。”

Xi Meng said: The central cluster of Yu Gui is called "Zhi," which is the chopping block used for beheading. The bright light of the Ghost Star indicates that people visit each other and the five grains mature. The "Jade Calendar" says: Yu Gui is the heavenly corpse, located at the neck of the Vermilion Bird; when the central star appears like powdered fluff, the Ghost Mansion will cause plague and disaster. The "Southern Officials' Observations" say: Yu Gui is the heavenly temple, governing divine worship; it corresponds to the state of Qin, the wood is Yang, and the associated products are horses, cattle, sheep, and tigers.

郗萌曰：“輿鬼星明大，歲熟；不明，民大散；其星移徙，民大愁，政令急。輿鬼星皆動，其色瞳瞳，望之若有光，上賦斂重數，徭役繁多，萬民悲怨，不出五年，身死家亡，又曰見此災後，連年大水，秦國尤甚。輿鬼、質星，欲其忽忽不明；不明則安，明則兵起，斧鉞且用。”《石氏贊》曰：“輿鬼視明，察奸謀；故置五諸侯，以刺之。輿鬼五星，主視明；從陰視陽，不失精。”

Xi Meng said: When the Yu Gui stars are bright and large, the harvest is abundant; if they are dim, the people will scatter in large numbers; if the various stars shift position, the people will be greatly distressed and the government will impose harsh decrees. If all the Yu Gui stars are moving, and their colors are hazy and indistinct, appearing as if they have light but not clearly, it indicates that the ruler imposes heavy and frequent levies and labor services, causing the people to be deeply resentful and angry, and within five years, they will suffer death and loss of family. He also said that after such an omen appears, there will be consecutive years of great floods, especially severe in the state of Qin. Both Yu Gui and the Chi star desire to be dim and obscure; if they are not clear, there will be peace, but if they are bright, war will break out, and the use of axes and halberds will be inevitable. The Shi school praised: Yu Gui stars, when clearly visible, can detect plots, so they set up the 'Five Peers' stars beside them to investigate. The five stars of Yu Gui are responsible for discernment, observing from the dark to the bright, without missing any subtle details.
