A falling star invades the central official position of the Gan school.

《荊州占》曰：“流星入天理貴人之牢，太僕名臣有繫者也。青憂；赤，以金殺之；黃白，無故；黑，凶。流星出魁中，赦繫獄者，天理也。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: A falling star entering the "Heavenly Principle" prison, which is the place where the nobleman is confined, indicates that a high-ranking official of the rank of Grand Steward will be detained. If the falling star is green, it signifies trouble; if red, it means people will be executed during the time of the metal element's sharp and severe energy; if yellow or white, there will be no incident; if black, it is ominous. If a falling star shoots out from the middle of the Big Dipper's handle, it indicates the release of prisoners from the prison, which is also an affair under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Principle star. The four stars of Heavenly Principle are located in the middle of the Big Dipper's handle, established by the Gan school as the central official, specifically governing the legal cases of the nobleman.

《黃帝占》曰：“流星出咸池中，星所之者，兵起。”石氏曰：“流星入咸池，大水。”郗萌曰：“使星舍咸池，有喪。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A shooting star emerging from Xianchi indicates military conflict in the direction it flies towards. Xianchi consists of three stars located among the Five Carriages, symbolizing water, grass, and fish ponds, hence it also presages water-related events. The Shi school's Star Classic states: A shooting star entering Xianchi signifies a great flood. Xi Meng says: If the planet of fortune stays in Xianchi and does not depart, it indicates the occurrence of mourning events.

《黃帝占》曰：“出入哭星，有哭泣事。”

The Huangdi Divination says: When a falling star enters or leaves the 'Crying Star,' there will be mourning and weeping in human affairs. The two Crying Stars are located south of the Emptiness Mansion and are aligned with the Weeping Star, themselves symbolizing mourning. Therefore, this divination is concise and directly indicates crying.

郗萌曰：“有大流星，赤黃色，出水府，所之邑大旱。”郗萌曰：“有大流星，青色，出水府，所之邑大水。”

Xi Meng said: There was a large red-yellow meteor coming from the 'Water Palace', and the city it flew towards would suffer a great drought. Xi Meng also said: There was a large green meteor coming from the Water Palace, and the city it flew towards would suffer a great flood. The four stars of the Water Palace are located to the southwest of the Well Mansion, and they are the offices in charge of water control and dikes. Therefore, when the same star appears, it will either cause drought or flood, depending on the color.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“流星入長垣中，匈奴兵起，來侵中國，人主有憂。”《荊州占》曰：“使星入長垣，匈奴起兵。”

The "Imperial Inspection of Delight" says: A shooting star flies into the "Changyuan" formation, indicating that the Xiongnu troops will rise up and invade the Central Plains, causing the ruler to worry. The four stars of Changyuan are located west of Shaowei, symbolizing the boundary walls that distinguish inside from outside and monitor the movements of the four barbarian tribes. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: The planet star flies into Changyuan, indicating that the Xiongnu will raise an army.

郗萌曰：“大流星色青黑，出天淵，所之邑大水。大流星色赤黃，出天淵，所之邑大旱。”

Xi Meng said: A large meteor appearing dark blue-black shooting from the "Heavenly Deep" indicates that the city it flies toward will experience great flooding; a large meteor appearing reddish-yellow shooting from the Heavenly Deep indicates that the city it flies toward will suffer great drought. The ten stars of the Heavenly Deep are located to the southeast of the Tortoise Star, governing irrigation and the storage and discharge of ditches and ponds. Therefore, the observation is about the water and drought conditions of a region.

陳卓曰：“使星出入天廄，天下有驚。”

Chen Zhuo said: When the star enters and exits the "Heavenly Stables," there will be disturbances and unrest throughout the country. The Heavenly Stables consist of ten stars located to the north of the Gated Path, which is the stable for the emperor's horses. It governs the transmission of messages and the use of carriages and horses. Therefore, when the star appears in and exits from this area, it indicates the swift movement of messenger horses and tremors in all directions.

甘氏曰：“星與日並出，名曰女嫁星。與日爭光，武且弱，文且強，女子為主而昌。在邑為喪，野為兵。”《辨終備》曰：“星晝見，虹不藏，臣人生，海失常，主淫於色酒湎沉，慎失職，出遊遨。”甘氏曰：“明星奪日光，天下有立王。”《呂氏春秋》曰：“武王勝殷，將二虜而問焉曰：‘若國有妖乎？’二虜對曰：‘國有妖，星晝見。’”

The Gan school's Star Classic says: When stars and the Star of brightness and prestige appear together in the daytime, this star is called the "Woman's Marriage Star." It competes with the sun's light, symbolizing the decline of military strength and the rise of cultural governance, women taking power and the state flourishing. If this celestial phenomenon appears over cities, it portends death; if it appears over the countryside, it portends warfare. The book "Differentiating the End and Completeness" says: When stars are visible during the day, rainbows refuse to hide, ministers grow too powerful, and the sea loses its regular course. These are all signs that the ruler is indulging in women, drinking excessively, being lazy and neglecting duties, and only concerned with going out for pleasure. The Gan school's Star Classic also says: Bright stars that take away the sun's light indicate that a new ruler will be enthroned. The "Spring and Autumn Annals: Luxuriant Dew" records that King Wu of Zhou defeated the Shang dynasty and brought back two captives, asking them: "Is there any strange phenomenon in your country?" The two captives replied: "There is a strange phenomenon in our country; stars appear in the daytime."

甘氏曰：“星無故常晝見者，名女王，不出三年，大水浩洋，若有女王立。”京氏曰：“晝星見，人臣有奸心，上不明，臣下縱橫修撰。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“一星晝見者，君子失國，亡道；入邊為虜。”《魏氏圖》曰：“一星晝見者，君子失國，亡世，當敗必死。”《雌雄圖》曰：“二星晝見者，皇后失勢，以刑死；一曰公亡刑，則失度，為羌狄所賊。又曰：有白衣間詐在宮中。”

The Gan school's Star Classic says: If stars appear in the daylight without cause, this is called "Queen's Star," and within three years there will be great floods or a female ruler taking over the state. Jing Fang says: If stars appear in the daylight, it indicates ministers harboring treacherous intentions, and the sovereign unable to discern clearly, leading ministers to manipulate affairs and alter policies arbitrarily. The Xiao Jing Eryong Tu says: If one star appears in the daylight, the virtuous ruler will lose his state and lose the way of governance; if it flees to the border regions, he will be captured. The Wei Shi Tu says: If one star appears in the daylight, the virtuous ruler will lose his state and his lineage will be cut off; once defeated, he will surely die. The Eryong Tu says: If two stars appear in the daylight, the empress will lose power and be executed; another interpretation is that the three ministers will lose control over punishment and reward, leading to disorder in governance and the state being attacked by the Qiang and Di tribes. It also says: There are people in the palace wearing white clothes secretly plotting deceit.

《魏氏圖》曰：“三星晝見者，君有亡邦，有羌人入界，欲為天子；一曰：臣有憂，其世絕。”又曰：“參其與辰俱見，天下有兵，二邦相攻，血流。”《孝經內記》曰：“三星在日上下者，外人慾殺，奸在後宮。”又曰：“三星在左右者，臣欲殺君，與將軍共為一心。”《雌雄圖》曰：“三星晝見者，臣有大憂；公卿為夷狄賊所害。”又曰：“四星及五星晝見者，王侯為外界人所殺；一日君弟有死憂。”《內記》曰：“四星在日上下者，王侯欲伐，國政之憂。”《魏氏圖》曰：“北斗晝見者，君死亡，絕後嗣也。”

The sun represents the sovereign, while the stars represent ministers and subjects. When stars appear to rival the sun's brightness, it indicates matters involving ministers overpowering the sovereign or internal court interference. The more stars appear, the more serious the matter. The "Wei Shi Tu" states: when three stars are visible during the day, the sovereign will face national ruin, with Qiang people crossing borders and attempting to establish themselves as emperor. Another interpretation suggests ministers will suffer calamity, and their family line will be cut off. It also says: when the Sanxiu and Chenxiu constellations appear together, there will be war across the country, with two states attacking each other, resulting in rivers of blood. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji" states: when three stars appear above and below the sun, outsiders plot assassination, and treachery occurs within the harem. It also says: when three stars appear to the left and right of the sun, ministers intend to assassinate the sovereign and conspire with generals. The "Ci Xiong Tu" states: when three stars are visible during the day, ministers will face great calamity, and high officials will be harmed by barbarian invaders. It also says: when four or even five stars are visible during the day, dukes and marquises will be killed by people from outside the country; another interpretation suggests the sovereign's younger brother will face death. The "Xiao Jing Nei Ji" states: when four stars appear above and below the sun, dukes and marquises plot military campaigns, and state affairs cause concern. The "Wei Shi Tu" states: when the Big Dipper is visible during the day, the sovereign will die, and the succession will be cut off.

楊泉《物理論》曰：“凡無名之星，一見一不見，唯二十八宿，度數有常，故曰恆星。”《左氏傳》曰：“魯莊公七年四月辛卯夜，恆星不見。”（恆，常也，謂常見之星也。辛卯，四月五日夜，月光尚微，蓋時無雲，日光不以昏沒也。夜中星隕如雨。如，而也。夜半乃有雲，星落而且如雨，其數多也，皆記異也；日光不匿，恆星不見，雲夜中者，以水漏也。）

Yang Quan's "Wuli Lun" says: All stars without a name appear sometimes and disappear sometimes, but the degrees of the twenty-eight constellations have regular patterns, so they are called "heng stars." The "Zuo Shi Chuan" records: On the night of the fifth day of the fourth month, Xinmao, of the seventh year of Lu Zhuanggong, the heng stars were not visible. The commentary in the original text says: "Heng" means constant, referring to the stars that are usually visible. Xinmao was the night of the fifth day of the fourth month, when the moonlight was still faint, and the sky was clear with no clouds. The sunlight had not yet completely disappeared because it was still early evening. The text then says "stars fell like rain during the night," where "like" is used as "and." Clouds appeared only at midnight, and the stars fell densely, like rain, indicating a large number. This is the way historians record unusual phenomena. The text says the event happened at midnight, but this was determined by the water clock.

《傳》曰：“恆星不見，夜明也，星隕如雨，與雨偕也。偕，俱也。”《穀梁傳》曰：“常星者，在位人君之類，不見者，無君之象也。”《公羊傳》曰：“恆星佈列四方，助天為光明，諸侯之象。不見者，象諸侯之背叛，不佐王者奉順法度。”《春秋緯》曰：“恆星不見，言周制絕滅，眾耀隕亂。”《運斗樞》曰：“蒼帝行失則列星滅。”《洛罪級》曰：“恆星不見，主嚴法度消。”《助佐期》曰：“列星不見，精無耀，天子失敗，諸侯橫暴。”

The Three Transmissions and the Writings of the Mandate complement the passage from the seventh year of Duke Zhuang of Lu. The Transmission of the Left says: the non-visibility of the fixed stars is because the night is unusually bright; the falling of stars like rain means that meteors fall together with rain, where "xie" means together. The Transmission of the Guliang says: the constant stars symbolize the reigning monarch; their non-visibility indicates the absence of a ruler. The Transmission of the Gongyang says: the fixed stars are arranged in the four directions, helping Heaven to emit light, and they symbolize the feudal lords; their non-visibility signifies the betrayal of the feudal lords, who no longer support the sovereign or uphold the laws. The Spring and Autumn Writings say: the non-visibility of the fixed stars indicates the collapse of the Zhou dynasty's system, with the light of all stars falling and scattering. The Yundoushu says: the loss of virtue of the Lord of the East leads to the disappearance of the stars. The Luozhiji says: the non-visibility of the fixed stars signifies the demise of strict laws. The Zuzaoqi says: the absence of the stars means the loss of vital energy and brilliance, the downfall of the Son of Heaven, and the tyranny of the feudal lords.

董仲舒曰：“常星，二十八舍，人君之象也，眾星者，萬民之類也，列宿不見，象諸侯微也。”許慎曰：“眾星者，庶民之象也，與列宿俱亡，中國微滅也。”鄭玄曰：“恆星，謂列舍，特天子之正也；不見者，諸侯乘天子禮義法度；又，夜明象諸侯，概然將強大也。”《河圖舍占篇》曰：“將失政不法，則星亡。”《尚書中侯準讖哲》曰：“煌煌之滅，（闕）失權流頓斬，恆星滅。”

Dong Zhongshu said: the constant stars are the Twenty-Eight Mansions, symbolizing the sovereign; the multitude of stars symbolize the common people. The disappearance of the mansions signifies the decline of the feudal lords. Xu Shen said: the multitude of stars symbolize the common people; if both the mansions and the multitude of stars disappear, it signifies the decline and collapse of the Central Plains. Zheng Xuan said: the constant stars refer to the mansions and their enclosures, which are exclusively the proper position of the Son of Heaven; the disappearance of the constant stars signifies the feudal lords overstepping the Son of Heaven's rites, laws, and regulations; furthermore, bright night skies symbolize the feudal lords' growing power and their impending dominance. The "Yellow River Chart Mansion Divination Chapter" said: when generals govern improperly and do not abide by the laws, the stars will disappear. The "Shang Shu Zhong Hou Zhen Chen" said: the brilliant starlight fades (the original text here is missing), the sovereign loses authority, and events such as exile, setbacks, and executions will follow. The common interpretation among Han scholars in explaining the classics was to associate the Twenty-Eight Mansions with the sovereign and the multitude of small stars with the common people. Therefore, the same image of "the constant stars disappearing" was interpreted by Dong Zhongshu, Xu Shen, and Zheng Xuan as the decline of the feudal lords, the collapse of the Central Plains, and the feudal lords overstepping the Son of Heaven's rites, respectively.

《呂氏春秋》曰：“至亂之化，有星斗。”班固《天文志》曰：“辰星與他星相遇而斗，天下大亂。”

The "Lüshi Chunqiu" says: When the world is in extreme disorder, strange phenomena appear in the heavens, such as stars fighting. Ban Gu's "Hanshu · Tianwen Zhi" states: The planet Chen Xing, which is also known as the Water Star, meets and contends with other stars, leading to great chaos on earth. The term "star fighting" refers to two stars approaching closely and their light confronting each other as if in combat. Therefore, it is listed separately under the category of miscellaneous star omens.

《洪範天文星變占》曰：“漢武元光中，天星盡搖，上問侯星；對曰：星搖，民勞也。後征伐四夷，百姓勞於兵革也。”

The "Hong Fan Tian Wen Xing Bian Zhan" records that during the Yuan Guang period of Emperor Wu of Han, all the stars in the sky were shaking. The emperor asked the official in charge of observing the stars. The star observer replied that the shaking of the stars was a sign of the people's hardship. Later, Emperor Wu launched military campaigns against the surrounding barbarian tribes, and the people indeed became exhausted by military service and warfare.

宋均曰：“景星大而中空。”孟康曰：“景星者，有赤方氣與青方氣相連，赤方氣中有兩黃星，青方中一黃星，凡三星合，為景也。”（案《蜀志》曰：後主景耀元年，史官言星見，於是大赦，改年為景耀也。）《天官書》曰：“天晴而見景星，景星者，德星也；其狀無常，常出有道之國。”《瑞應圖》曰：“景星者，大星也；狀如半月，生於晦朔，助月為明；王者不私人，則見。又曰：德及幽隱，則出。”又曰：“景星者，星之精也，光從月出，出於西方，王者不私人以官，使賢者在位，則景星出見，佐月為明。”

Song Jun said: The shape of Jing Star is large and hollow in the middle. Meng Kang said: The so-called Jing Star is a red square cloud connected with a blue square cloud. In the red cloud there are two yellow stars, and in the blue cloud there is one yellow star. When the three stars are together, it is called Jing Star. The original book's note says: According to the Records of Shu, in the first year of Jingyao, the later emperor of Shu reported that a star appeared, so the emperor pardoned all the people and changed the era name to Jingyao. The Book of Heavenly Officials says: When the sky is clear, the Jing Star appears. The Jing Star is the virtue star. Its shape has no fixed form, and it often appears in a country with virtue. The Book of Auspicious Responses says: The Jing Star is a big star, shaped like half a moon, appearing around the new moon and the last moon, helping the moon to shine. It also says: When the ruler shows virtue to the hidden people, it appears. It also says: The Jing Star is the essence of all stars, its light comes from the moon, appearing in the west. When the ruler does not give official positions to his close relatives, but lets the virtuous people hold office, the Jing Star appears to help the moon shine.

班固《天文志》曰：“天晴而見景星。”（占六十日晴，精明亡。）《河圖》曰：“黃帝治，景星見於北斗也。”《尚書中侯握河紀》曰：“堯即位去年，景星出翼，鳳凰止庭。”鄭玄注曰：“景，大也，明也；翼，朱鳥宿也。”又曰：“帝執德恭，聰明密微，思心清靜，在庭從宜，仁推度符，移序精和，天地休通，五行相化，景星出攝提。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: When the sky is clear, the bright star appears. The original commentary notes: Divination should be based on clear days within a period of sixty days; beyond this, the bright light disappears. The "Yellow River Chart" says: During the time of the Yellow Emperor, the bright star appeared in the Big Dipper. The "Shang Shu Zhong Hou Wu He Ji" says: The year before Yao ascended the throne, the bright star appeared in the Wings mansion, and the phoenix perched in the palace. Zheng Xuan made a commentary saying: "Jing" means great and bright; "Yi" is one of the seven constellations of the Southern Bird. He also said: When a ruler upholds virtue and is respectful, is wise and attentive to subtle matters, has clear thoughts, and governs the state appropriately, and uses benevolence to seek omens, the vital energy is harmonized, the heavens and earth are in perfect order, the Five Phases mutually generate and transform, then the bright star appears in the constellation of the Celestial Stem.

《含文嘉》曰：“王者序長幼，各得其正，則房心有德，星應之。”《合誠圖》曰：“天子精耀，心墳務德，則景星窺。”（宋均曰：墳，盛也，窺猶見也。）《禮稽命徵》曰：“王者制禮作樂，得天心，則景星見。”《感精符》曰：“王者德上感皇天，則景星也。”《孔演圖》曰：“天子以賢舉，則景星效於天。”《春秋緯》曰：“《周圖變書》云：赤雀所銜，蜀，下授文王於豐殿之（闕）剽天子精耀，招神任理（闕）有響心順務德，則景星見，鸞鳳下。”

The "Hán Wén Jiā" says: When the king establishes the order of seniority and juniority properly, the Room Mansion and Heart Mansion display the image of virtue, and the star of virtue corresponds with them. The "Hé Chéng Tú" says: When the Son of Heaven is sincere and radiant, his great aspirations and efforts in cultivating virtue cause the bright star to appear. The original commentary notes: Song Jun said, "Fen" means great, and "kui" is equivalent to seeing. The "Lǐ Jī Mìng Zhēng" says: When the king establishes rites and music in accordance with the heavenly mind, the bright star appears. The "Gǎn Jīng Fú" says: When the virtue of the king moves heaven above, the bright star appears. The "Kǒng Yǎn Tú" says: When the Son of Heaven selects capable people, the bright star manifests in the sky. The "Chūn Qiū Wěi" says: The "Zhōu Tú Biàn Shū" states: A red bird carried a red book, which was presented to King Wen of Zhou in Feng邑 (here the text is missing), the Son of Heaven's sincerity and radiance attract spirits and employ reason (here the text is also missing), with a responsive heart and following reason to cultivate virtue, the bright star appears, and the luan and feng birds descend accordingly.

《元命包》曰：“仁義茂盛，賢俊彰明，神符感出，景星守參。”《感精符》曰：“堯時，氣充盛，上感皇天，故景星見。”《孝經內事》曰：“天子行孝德，則景星出。”《援神契》曰：“王者德至天，則景星見。”《白虎通》曰：“景星者，大星也，月或不見，景星恆見，可以夜作，有補於人。”《帝王世紀》曰：“舜時，景星見於房。”《坤靈圖》曰：“至德之萌，黃景索於北斗，必以戊己日，其光無芒，行久無武，動軍，莫之敢拒。”

The Yuanmingbao says: When benevolence and righteousness prevail, virtuous talents and outstanding scholars become prominent and clear, and miraculous auspicious signs emerge, the bright star appears in the Three Stars mansion. The Ganshengfu says: In the time of Yao, harmonious qi was abundant, and it moved heaven above, so the bright star appeared. The Xiaojing Neishi says: When the Son of Heaven practices filial piety and virtue, the bright star appears. The Yuanshencui says: When a ruler's virtue reaches heaven, the bright star appears. The Bahu Tong says: The bright star is a large star, sometimes the moon is not visible, but the bright star is always visible, and people can use its light to work at night, which is very beneficial to the people. The Dingshi Ji says: In the time of Shun, the bright star appeared in the Room mansion. The Kuningtu says: When the supreme virtue is just beginning to sprout, yellow light surrounds the Big Dipper, and it must appear on the Wu day or Ji day, its light has nopointed rays, and long military campaigns do not need warfare, but once war is launched, no one dares to resist.

《含文嘉》曰：“宮室之禮得，則虛、危有德星應。”又曰：“居喪以禮，則德星應在虛、危。”《稽命徵》曰：“禮得其宜，則虛、危有德星見。”《含文嘉》曰：“宮室之禮得，營室有德星應。”又曰：“居喪以禮，則德星應輿鬼。”又曰：“天子穆穆，諸侯皇皇，則少微有德星。”又曰：“殯喪之禮以其時，則三階平正，有德星出入其間。”

The so-called virtue star is not a fixed single star; wherever human affairs conform to propriety and heavenly phenomena are auspicious, the virtue star appears in the corresponding mansion. The mansion of Emptiness and the mansion of Rooftop are associated with ancestral temples and mourning rituals, the mansion of Encampment is related to building palaces and houses, the mansion of Ghosts is connected with sacrifices, the mansion of Minor Brightness is associated with virtuous men, and the three steps are related to the order of ranks. Therefore, the following passages match the system of rites with the mansions of stars. The "Containing the Literary Excellence" says: if the rites for palaces and houses are proper, the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop will have virtue stars corresponding to them. It also says: if mourning is observed according to rites, the virtue star will appear in the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop. The "Investigating the Mandate of Heaven" says: if the rites are properly implemented, the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop will have virtue stars. The "Containing the Literary Excellence" also says: if the rites for palaces and houses are proper, the mansion of Encampment will have a virtue star corresponding to it. It also says: if mourning is observed according to rites, the virtue star will appear in the mansion of Ghosts. It also says: if the Son of Heaven is dignified and composed, and the feudal lords are grand and majestic, the star of Minor Brightness will show a virtue star. It also says: if the rites of burial are performed in accordance with the proper seasons, the three steps will be level and orderly, and the virtue star will appear between them.

又曰：“天子祫禘，巡狩有度，考功責實，外內之制，各得其宜，四方之事，無蓄滯，上下交通，則山澤出靈龜、寶石；麒麟至苑囿，六畜繁多，天苑有德星應。”（案申穎《秦書》：苻堅建元六年四月，天苑有大星，色甚白，占者以為太平之祥，乃立望氣臺於宮左，冬十一月，平燕國，擒慕容。）《含文嘉》曰：“天子行鄉射飲酒之禮，得其宜，則曰大德；天苑，左右角，皆有大德星應。”《海中占》曰：“德星守建星，君臣俱明，天下更平，五穀更興。”

The "Hán Wén Jiā" also states: When the Son of Heaven performs the sacrificial rites of the ancestral worship and the禘 (a special ancestral rite), and conducts the inspection tours with established regulations, evaluating achievements and demanding practical results, the systems within and outside the court are properly arranged, and the political affairs of the four directions are not delayed. The communication between the upper and lower levels is smooth, so the mountains and rivers will produce divine turtles and precious jewels, qilin will come to the royal gardens, and the six domesticated animals will flourish greatly. The stars in the celestial court will have the virtue stars corresponding to them. The original commentary notes: According to Shen Ying's "Qin Shu," in the sixth year of Fu Jian's Jianyuan reign in April, a large white star appeared in the celestial court, and those who observed the celestial phenomena considered it a sign of peace and prosperity. Therefore, a tower for observing the celestial phenomena was built on the left side of the palace. In the eleventh month of the same winter, the Former Qin subdued the Yan state and captured the Murong clan. The "Hán Wén Jiā" says: When the Son of Heaven performs the xiangshe and xiangyin rituals properly, it is called great virtue; the celestial court and the left and right angles will have great virtue stars corresponding to them. The "Hǎi Zhōng Zhàn" says: When the virtue star is stationed at the Jian star, the sovereign and ministers are clear and upright, the whole country returns to peace, and the five grains revive again.

宋均曰：“含譽瑞星，光耀侶慧。”《援神契》曰：“喜則含譽射。”

Song Jun said: Hanyu is a auspicious star, its light resembles that of a comet. Although Hanyu appears similar to a comet, its essence is auspicious, completely different from a malevolent comet. The "Yuan Shen Qi" states: When heaven has joy, the Hanyu star shines its light.

《黃帝占》曰：“客星者，周伯、老子、王蓬絮、國皇、溫星，凡五星，皆客星也，行諸列舍，十二國分野；各在其所臨之邦，所守之宿，以占吉凶。”又曰：“客星大而色黃煌煌然，名曰周伯，見其國兵起，若有喪，天下大飢，人民流亡，去其鄉。”又曰：“客星明大白淳然，名曰老子，所出之國，為飢，為凶，為善，為惡，為喜，為怒，常出見，則兵大起，人主有憂，王者以赦除咎，則災消。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: The so-called guest stars include Zhou Bo, Laozi, Wang Peng Xu, Guo Huang, and Wen Xing, a total of five types, all belonging to guest stars. They traverse the twenty-eight star mansions, corresponding to the twelve states' territories; each is used to predict fortune or misfortune based on the country it is over and the star mansion it guards. It also says: Guest stars are large in form and yellow in color, with brilliant light, called Zhou Bo. When it appears in a country, that country will have military action, or mourning, or great famine, or people fleeing their homes. It also says: Guest stars are bright and large, white and pure, called Laozi. When it appears in a country, that country may have famine, danger, good events, evil events, joy, or anger; if it frequently appears, there will be great military conflict, the ruler will have worries, the king will issue a great amnesty to eliminate calamity, and the disaster will be resolved.

又曰：“客星狀如粉絮，拂拂然，名曰王蓬絮，見則其國兵起，若有喪，白衣會，其邦飢亡。”《荊州占》曰：“王蓬絮星，色青而熒熒然，所見之國，風雨不如節，焦旱，物不生，五穀不登，多蝗蟲。”《黃帝》曰：“客星出而大，其色黃白，望之上有芒角，名曰國皇；見則兵大起，國多變，若有水飢，人主惡之，人多疾。”

It is also said that the guest star appears as a mass of fluffy powder, light and drifting, known as the 'Wang Peng Xu' star. When this star appears, the country will have military actions, or there will be mourning events and gatherings in white clothes, and the state will suffer from famine and decline. The 'Jingzhou Divination' states that when the Wang Peng Xu star appears with a bluish color and flickering light, the country where it appears will experience untimely rain and drought, withered and dry land, no growth of grass and trees, failure of crops, and locust plagues. The 'Yellow Emperor Divination' says that when the guest star appears large in size, yellow and white in color, with a sharp tip at the top, it is called the 'Gu Huang' star. When this star appears, there will be great military conflicts, many domestic troubles, or floods and famine. The ruler dislikes this star, and people will suffer from many diseases.

又曰：“客星色白而大，狀如風動搖，名曰溫星，常出四隅；出東南，天下有兵，將軍出於野；出東北，有千里暴兵；出西北，亦如之；出西南，其國兵喪並起，若大水，人飢。”石氏曰：“溫星出東南，為大將軍服屈，不能發者，出於東北，暴骸三千里；出西亦然。”

It is also said that the guest star appears white in color and large in form, resembling something swaying as if blown by wind, and is called the 'Warm Star'. It often appears in the corners of the four directions. If it appears in the southeast, there will be warfare throughout the land, and generals will lead armies into the outskirts. If it appears in the northeast, there will be a sudden outbreak of warfare spanning thousands of li. The same applies if it appears in the northwest. If it appears in the southwest, a country will experience both military conflicts and funerals, or there may be a great flood, leading to famine among the people. The 'Shi Star Classic' states: if the Warm Star appears in the southeast, it indicates that a grand general will be subdued and unable to mobilize troops; if it appears in the northeast, there will be exposed corpses stretching for three thousand li; and the same is true if it appears in the west.

《黃帝》曰：“客星見其分，若留止，即以其色占吉凶；星大事大，星小事小；星色黃，得地；色白，有喪；色青，有憂；色黑，有死；色赤，有兵；各以五色占之，皆不出三年。”巫咸曰：“客星入列宿中外官者，各以其所部舍官名，為其事；所之者，為其謀；其下之國，皆受其禍；以所守之舍，為其期；以五氣相賊者，為其使。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: When a guest star appears in a certain region, if it remains there, one should determine fortune and misfortune according to its color: a large star indicates a major event, a small star indicates a minor event; a yellow star signifies gaining land; a white star indicates mourning; a green star signifies worry; a black star indicates death; a red star signifies military affairs; each color should be used to predict accordingly, and the outcome will be verified within three years. Wu Xian says: When a guest star enters a constellation, the middle palace, or the outer palace, one should determine the type of event based on the star's dwelling place and the name of the official; according to the direction it flies towards, determine the matter it seeks; the country corresponding to its position will suffer this calamity; according to the star dwelling it guards, determine the time of the event; according to the relationship of mutual control and mutual destruction among the Five Phases, determine who is the messenger.

《河圖》曰：“日月與大星晝並見，是謂爭明；大國弱，小國強。”《河圖》曰：“大客星流入月中無光，當有與君俱並兵死者。”又曰：“客星入月中，有破觸月，臣弒主，有內亂。”《洛書》曰：“客星入月中，有破軍。”又曰：“大星入月中，臣弒主。”又曰：“大星入月，月無光，其國再伐而亡；一曰其國當者滅亡，四夷來侵。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The sun, moon, and great star appear together in the day, which is called "competing for brightness," indicating that a great state will weaken while small states will grow stronger. The Yellow River Chart also says: A guest star enters the moon's orbit and loses its light, which signifies that someone will die along with the ruler in military disaster. It also says: A guest star flies into the moon, breaking or damaging the moon's body, which indicates that a minister will kill the ruler and domestic disorder will occur. The Luo Writing says: A guest star flies into the moon, indicating that the army will be defeated. It also says: A great star flies into the moon, indicating that a minister will kill the ruler. It also says: A great star flies into the moon's orbit, causing the moon to lose its light, which means that a country will be destroyed after two campaigns; another interpretation is that the country directly affected will be destroyed, with the four barbarian tribes invading.

又曰：“居月，見，不出三年，人主死，不死，國有殃。”又曰：“星見月中，不出其年，主憂。”又曰：“月未中。而日星入之，有賊人為政者在東方，文者長，武者亡；月過中而星入之，有賊人為政者在西方，武者長，文者亡。”又曰：“他星入月中，兵將起，他國有來降者。”

The Luo Writing also says: If a guest star stops near the moon and appears clearly, the king will die within three years; even if he does not die, there will be calamities in the country. It also says: If a star appears within the moon's circle, the king will face troubles within this year. It also says: If a star enters the moon before the moon reaches the middle heaven, then the rebel in power will be in the east, and the ministers of literature will gain power while the military ministers will perish; if the star enters the moon after the moon has passed the middle heaven, then the rebel in power will be in the west, and the military ministers will gain power while the ministers of literature will perish. It also says: If other stars enter the moon, military actions will be launched, and another country will send envoys to surrender.

《高宗》曰：“星入月中，將有大兵。”《海中占》曰：“星入月中，其國戎，有憂，一曰不出三年，臣勝其主。”京氏曰：“星入月中，臣賊其主，奪其家。”又曰：“月中有星，天下有賊，星多者，賊多。”又曰：“星入月中，大臣謀伐其主，主令不行。”《荊州占》曰：“星入月，其國有喪。”又曰：“星入月中，有破軍殺將。”又曰：“大客星入月中，月無光，其國滅亡，四夷來侵；期五月，若十月。”又云：“客星貫月，其國內亂，大臣死。”

The moon is the essence of the Taiyin star, symbolizing the queen and high ministers. When a guest star enters the moon, it signifies an external force intruding into the court, so most of the interpretations from various schools focus on ministers deceiving the king and the Breaker General killing the general. The "Gaozong" says: when a star flies into the moon, there will be large-scale military conflicts. The "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: when a star flies into the moon, a country will engage in warfare and face calamity; another interpretation suggests that within three years, the power of the ministers will surpass that of the king. Jing Fang says: when a star flies into the moon, ministers will harm their king and seize his property. He also says: if there is a star within the moon's circle, there will be bandits in the country, and more stars mean more bandits. He also says: when a star flies into the moon, ministers will plot to attack the king, and the king's orders will not be carried out. The "Jingzhou Zhan" says: when a star flies into the moon's circle, that country will suffer a death. It also says: when a star flies into the moon, it indicates the army will be defeated and generals will be killed. It also says: when a large guest star flies into the moon, the moon loses its light, and the country will perish, with surrounding barbarian tribes invading within five or ten months. It also says: when a guest star spans across the moon's circle, there will be internal disorder in the country and the death of high ministers.

《洛書》曰：“星在月右角者，秦氏、丁氏為奸，在西宮中。”又曰：“星在月右角，竇氏，宋氏為奸，在東宮中。星在月上者，鄧氏，司馬氏為奸，在南宮中。星在月下者，趙氏，李氏為奸，在後宮中。星在月兩角，劉氏為奸，敗。”《孝經內記》曰：“月在星角者，臣與黃門僮女人陰奸為賊，兩星在月角者，臣與人君作奸；一星在月中，臣與君婦女共作奸謀；一星在月下者，後宮列女要臣為奸也。”

The Luo Writing explains that the four cardinal directions of the moon's circle are assigned to the four palaces of east, west, south, and north. Then, based on these directions, it determines which of the four families of the imperial relatives are guilty of treason. This is an old method used by Han people to verify surnames through star observation. The Luo Writing states: if a star is at the right angle of the moon, it indicates that the Qin and Ding families in the western palace are guilty. If a star is at the right angle of the moon, it indicates that the Dou and Song families in the eastern palace are guilty. If a star is above the moon, it indicates that the Deng and Sima families in the southern palace are guilty. If a star is below the moon, it indicates that the Zhao and Li families in the northern palace are guilty. If a star is at both angles of the moon, it indicates that the Liu family is guilty and will eventually fail. The Inner Record of the Book of Filial Piety states: if the moon is at the angle of the star, it indicates that ministers, eunuchs, servants, and women are secretly conspiring to cause harm. If two stars are at the angles of the moon, it indicates that ministers are conspiring with the king. If one star is within the moon's circle, it indicates that ministers are plotting with the king's concubines. If one star is below the moon, it indicates that the women in the palace are conspiring with officials.

《河圖》曰：“星在月陰，負海國有勝；星出月下，芒相爍也，君死，人飢。”京氏曰：“星與月同光，臣下作亂，人民非上，令不行。”甘氏曰：“星食月，其國相死。”《洛書》曰：“星毀月，下司上。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When a star appears on the dark side of the moon, a country near the sea will prevail; when a star appears below the moon, the two shining brightly and flashing at each other, the ruler will die and the people will suffer from famine. Jing Fang says: When a star is as bright as the moon, ministers will rebel, the people will criticize the sovereign, and the government's orders will not be carried out. The Gan school's Star Classic says: When a star eclipses the moon, the chancellor of that country will die. The Luo Writing says: When a star damages the moon's body, it indicates that those in lower positions will plot and surpass those in higher positions.

《荊州占》曰：“歲星與他星合，人主不安。”又曰：“歲星與他星薄之，主有謀。又曰：有賊。”又曰：“客星與歲星斗，不出其年，強國易相。”巫咸曰：“他星守歲星，越有憂；一雲城邑有憂。”甘氏曰：“有星守歲星，人主有憂。”《春秋緯》曰：“歲星與他星會而斗，因破他星，人主不寧；他星薄破之，主有謀賊害。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: The planet Jupiter, also known as the "Year Star," when it combines with other stars, will cause the ruler to be restless. It also says: If other stars approach and press against Jupiter, there will be plots against the ruler; it also indicates the occurrence of banditry. It also says: If a guest star fights with Jupiter, the powerful state will replace its prime minister within the year. Wu Xian says: If other stars remain near Jupiter, there will be calamity in the southern regions; another interpretation is that there will be calamity in cities and towns. The *Gan School Star Classic* says: If a star remains near Jupiter, the ruler will face troubles. The *Chunqiu Wei* says: When Jupiter combines with other stars and they fight, if Jupiter breaks the other star, the ruler will be restless; if the other star approaches and breaks Jupiter, the ruler will be in danger of being plotted against.

石氏曰：“熒惑與他星會而斗者，皆為禍。”《荊州占》曰：“熒惑與他星會而斗，天下兵起；他星破熒惑，為禍；熒惑破他星，會事，雖有不能為禍。”又曰：“熒惑與他星合，相陵而斗，二星相近者，其殃大；相遠，其殃小。”

The Shi school's Star Classic says: the planet Mars, also called the Malefic of violence, when it combines with other stars and they fight, it indicates calamity. The Jingzhou Divination says: when Mars combines with other stars and they fight, there will be military campaigns throughout the land; when other stars break through Mars, calamity occurs; but when Mars breaks through other stars, it is only a matter of combination, and even if there are incidents, they will not result in great calamity. It also says: when Mars combines with other stars, they mutually oppress and fight, the closer the two stars are, the greater the disaster; the farther apart they are, the smaller the disaster.

甘氏曰：“有星入太白中，強國以戰亡。”又曰：“有星入金星，天子伐諸侯，武士大將死。”郗萌曰：“縣亂，星出也；常出太白之旁，相去三四寸所；星出，天下大亂。又星從他所來之太白旁，居與往來，亦為使，其事急；又太白與他星過於四方，必有大敗。又太白與他星遇，太白避他星，兵畏；他星避太白，兵成。”

The Gan school's Star Classic says: If a star flies into the constellation of Tai Bai, which is the planet Venus, a strong country will be destroyed by war. It also says: If a star flies into the constellation of Tai Bai, the Son of Heaven will attack the feudal lords, and soldiers and generals will die in battle. Xi Meng says: There is a type of star called 'Xuan Luan', which appears often near Tai Bai, at a distance of about three or four inches. When this star appears, the whole country will be in great disorder. Also, if a star comes from elsewhere and stops near Tai Bai, either staying there or moving back and forth, it is considered a sign of urgent matters. If Tai Bai and another star exceed the boundaries of the four directions, there will certainly be a great defeat. If Tai Bai meets another star, and Tai Bai retreats from it, it indicates that the commander of the army is timid; if the other star retreats from Tai Bai, it indicates that the military campaign will be successful.

巫咸曰：“有星入水星，天下大水，大理、御史官多死。”班固《天文志》曰：“辰星與他星遇，而天下亂。”石氏曰：“辰星與他星會，光相薄，用為害；不相及，雖同會，不為害。”《荊州占》曰：“辰星與他星會，破之，刑事行；他星不破，刑事不害。”石氏曰：“辰星出，與他星遇而斗，天下大亂。”

Wu Xian said: If a star flies into the planet of water, there will be great floods throughout the land, and officials responsible for criminal justice and those in charge of supervision will suffer many deaths. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: When the planet of water meets another star, the whole country will be in chaos. The Shi school's "Star Classic" says: When the planet of water meets another star, their light will press against each other, causing harm; if their light does not reach each other, even if they are in the same constellation, there will be no harm. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When the planet of water meets another star and breaks through it, punishments will be carried out; if it does not break through the other star, criminal matters will not cause harm. The Shi school's "Star Classic" says: When the planet of water appears and meets another star in a struggle, the whole country will be in great disorder.

甘氏曰：“客星干犯兩角間，白者，軍起不戰，邦有大喪；其色赤，戰，所指必有破軍侵城，期七十日，或三年。”石氏曰：“他星入左角，兵吏有來擊者。色赤，皆以兵擊；黃，皆以土訟：白，皆以義；黑，皆以死；青，皆以憂。”巫咸曰：“客星入左角，獄多死囚。”《荊州占》曰：“黃星若白星入左角，里有受咎者，又曰獄官吉；入右角，尉有喜。”

The Gan School Star Classic says: If a guest star invades between the left and right angles, and it is white, there will be military mobilization without battle, and a great mourning in the state; if it is red, there will be battle, and the place pointed to by the guest star's芒 will surely have troops defeated and cities occupied, which will be verified within seventy days or three years. The two stars of the Horn Mansion are the horns of the Azure Dragon and also the heavenly gate. The left angle governs legal punishment, while the right angle governs generals and military affairs. The Shi School Star Classic says: If other stars enter the left angle, there will be officials with military authority coming to attack. If the star color is red, it indicates warfare with weapons; if yellow, it indicates disputes over land; if white, it indicates disputes based on righteousness; if black, it indicates matters of death and mourning; if green, it indicates matters of worry and distress. Wu Xian says: If a guest star enters the left angle, there will be many dead prisoners in the jail. The Jingzhou Divination says: If a yellow star or a white star enters the left angle, someone in the locality will suffer misfortune and be punished; another interpretation says that the jailer will be auspicious; if a star enters the right angle, the county constable will have good fortune.

《荊州占》曰：“赤星入左角，兵吏有攻者也；黃，訟土事；白，以好訟；青，以憂訟；黑，以死訟。”石氏曰：“白星入右角，兵吏有易者；青，以憂去；黃，以好去；白，以義去；黑，以死去。”《海中占》曰：“赤星入右角，兵吏有置兵軍受命者。”夏氏曰：“客星入角，五穀傷，蝗蟲生。”郗萌曰：“黑星入右角，兵吏有以喪置兵者；色黃若白，以好置兵；青，以憂置兵。”又曰：“客星入角，將相后族家有收戮者。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If a red star enters the Left Angle, there will be military officials coming to attack; if the color is yellow, it indicates disputes over land; if the color is white, it indicates disputes arising from friendly relations; if the color is green, it indicates disputes arising from worries; if the color is black, it indicates disputes arising from death and mourning. The *Shi School Star Classic* says: If a white star enters the Right Angle, military officials will be replaced; if the color is green, officials will resign due to worries; if the color is yellow, officials will resign due to friendly relations; if the color is white, officials will resign due to righteousness; if the color is black, officials will resign due to death. The *Haizhong Divination* says: If a red star enters the Right Angle, there will be military officials who are ordered to deploy troops. Xia's account says: If a guest star enters the Horn Mansion, grain will be damaged and locusts will proliferate. Xi Meng says: If a black star enters the Right Angle, there will be military officials who are ordered to deploy troops due to mourning; if the color is yellow or white, troops will be deployed due to friendly relations; if the color is green, troops will be deployed due to worries. It also says: If a guest star enters the Horn Mansion, ministers and the families of the imperial relatives will be arrested and executed.

石氏曰：“赤星從兩角間過，不入亢中，有兵；色白、有過客；色黑，有過喪。”郗萌曰：“有星出亢，入兩角間，君有使諸侯，有口令；色赤，言兵，黃、言土；白、言義；青、言憂；黑、言凶。”石氏曰：“他星出左角，獄吏易者；色赤，以兵；色黃，以好去；色白，以義去；色黑，以死；色青，為憂。”郗萌曰：“有星出左星，與星相迫，大如缸，赤如血，其名為禍星，三日三夜不入，命曰動兵，三年而國亡，以其日占之。”又曰：“黃白星出左角，獄嗇夫受梃；色青，有大憂；色黑，有死者。”

The Shi school's Star Classic says: A red star passes through between the left and right horns but does not enter the Neck mansion, indicating there will be military affairs; if the color is white, there will be passing guests; if the color is black, there will be passing funeral matters. Xi Meng says: If a star shoots out from the Neck mansion and flies between the two horns, it indicates the sovereign sends envoys to the feudal states and issues verbal orders; if the color is red, the matter discussed is about military affairs; if the color is yellow, it relates to land matters; if the color is white, it relates to matters of righteousness; if the color is green, it indicates worries; if the color is black, it indicates danger. The Shi school's Star Classic says: If another star shoots out from the left horn, the jailers will be replaced; if the color is red, it is due to military affairs; if the color is yellow, it is due to friendly relations; if the color is white, it is due to matters of righteousness; if the color is black, it is due to death; if the color is green, it indicates worry. Xi Meng says: If a star shoots out from the left star and approaches it closely, appearing large as a jar and red like blood, this star is called the 'Harm Star'; if it does not disappear for three days and three nights, it is called 'military movement'; the country will perish three years later, according to the day's Day Branch. It also says: If a yellow and white star shoots out from the left horn, the jailer will be beaten with a stick; if the color is green, there will be great worries; if the color is black, someone will die.

石氏曰：“有星出右角，有驚將；色赤，將不勝；青，憂；黃，將去；白，不戰；黑，將死。”《海中占》曰：“大赤星出右角，國門有出兵；左角，國入兵。”郗萌曰：“黃星出右角，國有驚，（一雲兵驚）不戰受地；星白者，不戰而進；色黑青者，戰不勝，凶。”《荊州占》曰：“赤星出右角，（郗萌曰：出右角，入左角也。）將有攻吏者，國有驚；其星不搖散，不統絕，戰勝。”巫咸曰：“客星出角，臣謀其主，賊從外來，天下大亂，將相將有誅者。”

The Shi school's Star Classic says: If a star shoots out from the right horn mansion, there will be disturbances involving generals; if the star is red, the generals will not be victorious; if it is green, there will be worries; if it is yellow, the generals will be dismissed; if it is white, there will be no battle; if it is black, the generals will die. The Sea in the Middle Divination says: A large red star shooting out from the right horn mansion indicates that the country's gate will send out troops; if it shoots out from the left horn mansion, there will be an invasion into the country. Xi Meng says: A yellow star shooting out from the right horn mansion indicates disturbances in the country (a note in the original text says one interpretation is military disturbance), and the country will gain territory without battle; if the star is white, troops can advance without battle; if the star is black or green, there will be defeat in battle, which is ominous. The Jingzhou Divination says: A red star shooting out from the right horn mansion indicates that among the generals there will be attacks on officials, and there will be disturbances in the country; if this star does not move or scatter and the order remains unbroken, then victory will be achieved. Wu Xian says: A guest star shooting out from the horn mansion indicates that ministers will plot against their sovereign, bandits will attack from outside, the world will be in great chaos, and among the ministers and generals there will be those who will be executed.

《海中占》曰：“赤星出角亢間，國邑有圍者。”郗萌曰：“大赤星若白星，出角亢，國有大盜，黃星出北，止天門中，天下兵，在外者罷，客星出角，兵大起，期不出二年。”《荊州占》曰：“赤星出兩角間，國有恐，人民驚；又曰：經兩角間，軍道塞。”《二十八宿山經注》曰：“有客星如半席，出於角亢，則其年韓土有死兵，公使大臣謀，死，多災殃。”

The Sea of Stars divination text says: A red star shoots out between the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion, indicating that the capital city and towns will be besieged. Xi Meng says: A large red star or a white star shooting out from the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion indicates that there will be great bandits in the country; a yellow star shooting out from the north and stopping in the Heavenly Gate indicates that there will be war across the country, but the armies outside will have to cease fighting. A guest star shooting out from the Horn mansion indicates that there will be great military activities, and this will come true within two years. The Jingzhou divination text says: A red star shooting out between the two Horns indicates fear in the country and panic among the people; it also says that if the star crosses between the two Horns, the roads for the army will be blocked. The Annotations on the Twenty-Eight Mansions and Mountains text says: If a guest star is as large as half a mat and shoots out from the Horn mansion and the Neck mansion, there will be deaths by warfare in the state of Han, the royal court will send ministers to deliberate, and the person in charge will die, resulting in many calamities.

郗萌曰：“赤星經兩角間，國門閉，可以觀邑門之閉開也；星白，軍在外，道塞。赤星從兩角間過，不入亢中，有過兵。黃白星數就右角，若左角；兵使，有受地者。赤星大如鋒矢，赤如雞血，數就右角，若左角，兵使遇賊。”《黃帝占》曰：“大黃星之兩角間，有貴客來見，君廟將有事。”《海中占》曰：“黃星起右角，之左角，尉理受執。”《黃帝》曰：“赤星止兩角間，國門閉，其食道絕。”

Xi Meng said: A red star spanning between the two horns indicates that the country's gates are closed, and one can observe this by looking at the opening and closing of city gates; if the star is white, it signifies that troops are outside and the roads are blocked. If a red star passes through between the two horns without entering the Neck mansion, it indicates passing troops. A yellow and white star appearing repeatedly near the right or left horn indicates that among the envoys with military forces, some will be granted land. If a red star is large like an arrowhead and red like chicken blood, appearing repeatedly near the right or left horn, it indicates that envoys with military forces will encounter bandits. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: A large yellow star appearing between the two horns indicates that a distinguished guest will come to pay homage, and the royal ancestral temple will have a worship ceremony. The "Sea Divination" says: A yellow star rising from the right horn and flying toward the left horn indicates that county magistrates and jailers will be arrested. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" also says: A red star remaining between the two horns indicates that the country's gates are closed and the transportation routes for grain are cut off.

陳卓曰：“客星舍角，天下有陷地。”郗萌曰：“客星入舍右角，小人有兵，多恐，兵起不用。”石氏曰：“客星守左角，色赤，天下大旱，五穀不成。”郗萌曰：“客星守左角，獄吏多冤。”石氏曰：“客星守右角，有大水。”巫咸曰：“客星守右角，（一曰色赤）多暴虐事。”郗萌曰：“客星守南角間，赦，（一雲黃星守兩角間）不盡出，期不出四十日。”班固《天文志》云：“客星守南角間，奸人在宮庭。”《黃帝占》曰：“大祝星守角，白，天下中隔不通。”

The following passages discuss the phenomenon of a guest star "abiding" in the Horn mansion (Jiao Xu) or "guarding" it, meaning it remains stationary rather than passing through quickly. This is considered more serious than a brief appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between the left horn, right horn, and southern horn. Chen Zhuo said: if a guest star remains in the Horn mansion, there will be disasters such as land collapse throughout the country. Xi Meng said: if a guest star enters the right horn, small people will hold power over military forces, causing widespread fear, though the war may start but not yet be launched. The Shi school's Star Classic said: if a guest star remains in the left horn, it appears red, indicating a great drought and poor harvest of grain. Xi Meng said: if a guest star remains in the left horn, officials in charge of justice will have many wrongful convictions. The Shi school's Star Classic said: if a guest star remains in the right horn, there will be great floods. Wu Xian said: if a guest star remains in the right horn (note: some sources say it appears red), there will be many acts of cruelty. Xi Meng said: if a guest star remains between the southern horns, there will be imperial pardons (note: some sources say a yellow star remains between both horns), but the pardons will not be complete, and the effect will appear within forty days. Ban Gu's Records of the Grand Historian: Heavenly Signs said: if a guest star remains in the southern horn, there will be hidden villains lurking in the palace. The Yellow Emperor's Divination said: if the Great Priest star remains in the Horn mansion, it appears white, indicating blockage of the central path throughout the country.

石氏曰：“客星守角，強臣寵取國勢；他星守角，獄多訟。”巫咸曰：“客星守角，五穀不登，大旱，不生草木。”郗萌曰：“守角，臣謀其主，一曰賊臣從外人。”又：“客星守角，大旱，五穀不成，焦旱不生；一曰：色赤，守角有兵。”又：“客星守角，天庭大臣有亂者，凶。一曰：入天庭十日，天下大亂。”又：“客星逆行守左角，穀貴。”《荊州占》曰：“客星犯守角，大旱，五穀不登，富人貧。”又：“赤星留守兩角間，有兵，國閉；青，有大獄事，白、有義來者；黃，有土功，黑，有凶，人主有殃。”

The Shi school says: A guest star remaining in the Horn mansion indicates a powerful and arrogant minister who seizes state power through favor; other stars remaining in the Horn mansion indicate many lawsuits in the prison. Wu Xian says: A guest star remaining in the Horn mansion causes the five grains to fail to mature, great drought, and grass and trees not to grow. Xi Meng says: A guest star remaining in the Horn mansion indicates ministers plotting against their sovereign; another interpretation is that a traitorous minister comes from outside. It also says: A guest star remaining in the Horn mansion causes great drought, the five grains not to mature, and grass and trees not to grow; another interpretation is that if the star appears red and remains in the Horn mansion, there will be military affairs. It also says: A guest star remaining in the Horn mansion indicates ministers in the court plotting rebellion, which is ominous; another interpretation is that when a guest star enters the court and stays for ten days, the whole country will be in chaos. It also says: A guest star moving backward and remaining in the left horn causes grain prices to rise. The Jingzhou divination says: A guest star invading and remaining in the Horn mansion causes great drought, the five grains not to mature, and the rich to become poor. It also says: A red star staying between the two horns indicates military affairs, the country's gates to be closed; if the color is green, there will be major legal disputes; if the color is white, there will be people coming from the righteous path; if the color is yellow, there will be construction projects involving earth and wood; if the color is black, it is ominous, and the sovereign will suffer calamity.
