The eleventh of the twelve celestial stems is Gui.

《河圖》曰：“熒惑之精，流為司危。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“白彗之氣，分為司危。司危，平非也，以為乖事之徵。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“機星散為司危。”孟康曰：“司危星，大而有毛，兩角。”《荊州占》曰：“司危類太白，數動，察之，赤。”《洛書》曰：“司危出，強國盈。”《春秋緯潛潭巴》曰：“司危，主擊強侯兵也。”

The Yellow River Chart says: the essence of the planet Mars disperses and transforms into the star "Si Wei" (the Star of Peril). The Spring and Autumn Compendium of Faithfulness says: the white comet-like vapor differentiates into Si Wei. The term "Si Wei" means to judge right and wrong, so it is regarded as a sign of things going awry. The Spring and Autumn Movement of the Celestial Pole says: the essence of the star Tian Ji in the Big Dipper disperses and transforms into Si Wei. Meng Kang says: the star Si Wei has a large body, with surrounding filaments and two horns. The Jingzhou Divination says: the appearance of Si Wei resembles that of the planet Venus, with frequent flickering, and upon close inspection, it appears red. The Luo Writing says: the appearance of Si Wei indicates the full strength of a powerful state. The Spring and Autumn Writings · Qian Tan Ba says: Si Wei oversees military affairs against rebellious feudal lords.

《合誡圖》曰：“司危如太白有目，以為乖事之徵，見則主失法，期八年，豪傑起，天子以不義失國，有聲之臣行主德也。”（宋均曰：聲，名稱也。）《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“司危見，則其下國殘賊。”《天官書》曰：“司危星，出正西方之野，星去地可六七丈，而白類太白；一曰：見，兵起，強。”《天官書》曰：“司危出非其方，下有兵，沖不利。”《荊州占》曰：“司危出，則兵起，其下為喪。”

The "He Che Tu" says: The star of司危 appears like the planet Tai Bai with an eye-like shape, and is regarded as a sign of disorder and misfortune; when it appears, it indicates the ruler losing his laws and order, and this will come to pass after eight years, with heroic men rising up, and the Son of Heaven losing his country due to unjust actions, while renowned ministers take over the virtue of the ruler. (Original note: Song Jun said, "Sheng" means reputation and fame.) The "Chun Qiu Wei · Kao Yi You" says: When the star of司危 appears, the country corresponding to it will suffer harm. The "Shi Ji · Tian Guan Shu" says: The star of司危 appears in the open fields of the due west, about six or seven zhang above the ground, white in color and resembling the planet Tai Bai; another account says that when it appears, there will be military action, and the military strength will be strong. The "Tian Guan Shu" also says: If the star of司危 does not appear in its proper position, there will be military affairs below, and the direction opposing it will be unfavorable. The "Jing Zhou Zhan" says: When the star of司危 appears, there will be military action, and there will be mourning below.

《河圖》曰：“熒惑之精，流為天攙。”《春秋緯》曰：“歲星退如西北，三月生天挽。”郄萌曰：“星出，其狀白小數動，是謂攙星，一名斬星。”孫炎曰：“攙槍，妖星別名也。”（尸子曰：彗星為攙槍也。）《春秋緯潛潭巴》曰：“天攙主煞時。”甘氏曰：“天攙見，女主用事者，其本為主人。”甘氏曰：“天攙出西南，長數丈，左右銳，出而易處。”巫咸曰：“天攙出，其國內亂。”

The Yellow River Chart says: the essence of the planet Mars disperses and transforms into the star "Tian Chan," which is an evil star. The Spring Annals Commentary says: when the planet Jupiter moves backward and leans toward the Northwest, after three months it produces the star "Tian Wan" (here, "Wan" refers to the same as "Chan," meaning again Tian Chan). Xie Meng says: when a star appears, white in color, thin in shape, and flickering frequently, it is called the Chan star, also known as the Zhan star. Sun Yan says: "Tian Chan" is another name for an evil star. (Original book note: The book Shizi says that a comet is the same as Tian Chan.) The Spring Annals Commentary · Qiantanba says: Tian Chan governs the time of severe punishment. Gan De says: when Tian Chan appears, it indicates a female ruler taking power; if the original star is seen, it indicates the king of the country himself taking power. Gan De also says: when Tian Chan appears in the Southwest direction, it can be several zhang long, with sharp ends on both sides, and after appearing, it will change its position. Wu Xian says: when Tian Chan appears, the country will have internal disorder.

京房曰：“天攙出，其下相攙，為亂、為兵，赤地千里，枯骨藉藉。”（按班固《天文志》曰：孝文後二年正月壬寅，天攙夕出西南，後匈奴入上郡雲中，漢其軍以衛京師也。）郄萌曰：“攙星出，即出，兵起，出於東方，國益，鄉皆然。”班固《天文志》曰：“天攙出，為兵喪。”《河圖》曰：“太陽之精，赤鳥七宿之域，有謀反，若悖心，為虐害，主失政者，期如占，皆以類名之也。”

Jing Fang said: When the star Tian Chan appears, people below it help each other to flee, leading to chaos and military disaster, resulting in vast tracts of land becoming barren, with no grass growing and bones lying scattered everywhere. (Original note: According to Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records," in the second year of Houyuan of Emperor Wen of Han, in the first lunar month on the day of Renyin, the star Tian Chan appeared in the southwest in the evening; later the Xiongnu invaded Shangjun and Yunzhong, and the Han court sent troops to defend the capital.) Xie Meng said: When the star Chan appears, military affairs immediately follow; if it appears in the east, the country may instead gain benefits, and this applies to each town and village. Ban Gu's "Book of Han · Astronomical Records" said: The appearance of the star Tian Chan indicates military disaster and mourning. The "He Tu" said: This is the essence of the Sun, corresponding to the southern region of the seven stars of the Bird constellation; whenever someone plots rebellion, or harbors rebellious thoughts, or commits cruelty, or the ruler neglects state affairs, the time of verification is calculated according to the previous divination methods. These malevolent stars are named according to their respective categories.

《河圖》曰：“五殘，主奔亡。”《河圖》曰：“填星之精，流為五殘。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“旋星散為五殘。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“蒼彗散為五殘，如辰星出角，陽失德，故生角。五殘者，五分也，故為殘毀敗之徵。”（宋均曰：五殘五分，彗一本而五枝也。）期九年，奸興，三九二十七，亂大不可禁。”

The Yellow River Chart says: the Five Disasters presage flight and dispersion. The Yellow River Chart also says: when the spirit of the planet of Earth (the planet of filling) disperses, it transforms into the Five Disasters. The Spring and Autumn Records of the Movement of the Stars says: when the spirit of the star Tianxuan of the Big Dipper disperses, it becomes the Five Disasters. The Spring and Autumn Concordance Diagram says: the green comet's spirit disperses to form the Five Disasters; it appears like the planet of Mercury (Chenxing), with a horn-like projection; this is due to the loss of virtue by the yang energy, hence the emergence of the horn. The term 'Five Disasters' refers to the division into five branches, thus it is regarded as a sign of destruction and ruin. (Commentary: Song Jun said that the Five Disasters refer to five divisions, meaning the comet's tail branches out into five branches from a single source.) The fulfillment period is nine years, during which wickedness arises; by the year three nine twenty-seven, great turmoil becomes uncontrollable.

《黃帝占》曰：“五殘者，五行之變，出於東方，名曰五殘，木之氣也。”宋均曰：“五殘，一曰五鋒。”巫咸曰：“五殘星，出正東方之野，星狀類辰星，可去地六七丈，大而白。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“五殘主乖亡。”郄萌曰：“五殘，兵星也。”《黃帝占》曰：“東方有星，望之，去地可六丈，大而赤，察之，中青。（孟康曰：星表青氣如有暈也。）其類歲星，是謂東方之野星，名曰五殘，出則兵大起，其出也，下有喪；北出，則東方邦失地。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: The Five Defects are formed by the variation of the Five Phases' energies, appearing in the East, called the Five Defects, belonging to the Wood energy. Song Jun says: The Five Defects are also called the Five Blades, a name derived from their division into five branches, with sharp points like blades. Wu Xian says: The Five Defects star appears in the open fields of the East, appearing as thin and flickering like the planet Mercury, about six or seven zhang above the ground, large and white. The Spring and Truth Diagram says: The Five Defects presage discord and destruction. Xi Meng says: The Five Defects are stars associated with military affairs. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: In the East there is a star, appearing about six zhang above the ground, large and red, with a central blue color when viewed closely. (Original note: Meng Kang says, the star has a blue aura around it, like a halo.) It resembles the planet Jupiter, thus it is called the Star of the Eastern Field, known as the Five Defects. When it appears, large-scale military actions arise; there will be mourning in the direction it appears from; if it appears in the north, the states in the East will lose territory. The accounts from various scholars differ in color, some saying white, others saying red with a blue tinge, and in shape, some comparing it to Mercury, others to Jupiter. This is because it is formed by the energy of a planet, not a fixed star.

《河圖》曰：“五殘出，則宰司馬之輩萌。”《河圖》曰：“五殘出，四蕃虐，天子有急兵。”《洛書洛罪級》曰：“五殘六賊出，禍合天下，逆侵關樞。”《洛書兵鈐勢》曰：“五殘起，野亂成。”《洛書》曰：“五鋒星出翌，白帝亡也。”《尚書緯運期授》曰：“白帝亡也，五殘出。”《春秋緯考異郵》曰：“五殘備急。”《考異郵》曰：“五殘見，則主誅政、去伯。”郄萌曰：“五殘見，則國殘，起奔繫亡。”《天官書》曰：“五殘所出非其方，為其下有兵，沖不利。”《荊州占》曰：“五殘大而赤，數動，察之而青。”《荊州占》曰：“五殘出則兵起，其下為喪。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the five defective stars appear, senior ministers such as the prime minister and the chief military officer will begin to have rebellious thoughts. The Yellow River Chart also says: When the five defective stars appear, the four vassal states will become tyrannical, and the Son of Heaven will face urgent military affairs. The Luo Writing's section on crimes and ranks says: When the five defective stars and the six corrupt officials appear together, chaos will spread throughout the land, and rebels will attack the central government's key positions. The Luo Writing's section on military strategies says: When the five defective stars emerge, disturbances in the fields will develop into serious conflicts. The Luo Writing says: When the five sharp stars appear in the Wings mansion, it indicates the country of the White Emperor in the west will perish. The Book of Documents' supplementary text, "Yunqishi," says: When the country of the White Emperor is about to fall, the five defective stars will appear. The "Kao Yiyou" section of the Spring and Autumn Annals' supplementary text says: The five defective stars indicate the need for vigilance and emergency measures. The "Kao Yiyou" also says: When the five defective stars appear, the sovereign will eliminate corrupt policies and depose the hegemon. Xie Meng says: When the five defective stars appear, the country will be in ruins, the people will flee, and many will be imprisoned and die. The Records of the Grand Historian's section on celestial officials says: If the five defective stars do not appear in their proper position, it indicates military affairs in that area, and the opposite direction will be unfavorable. The Jingzhou Divination says: The five defective stars are large and red, flickering frequently, but upon closer inspection, they appear blue. The Jingzhou Divination also says: When the five defective stars appear, military action will be taken, and there will be mourning in their area.

《黃帝占》曰：“六賊者，五行之氣，出於南方，名曰六賊，火之氣也。”孟康曰：“六賊星，形如彗。”《黃帝占》曰：“南方有星，望之，去地六丈，赤而數動，察之有光，其類熒惑，是謂南方之野星，名曰六賊，出則兵起，其國亂。其出也，下有喪；出東方，則南方邦失地。”巫咸曰：“六賊星見，出正南方之野，星去地可六丈，大而赤，數動有光。”《天官書》曰：“六賊星所出非其方，為其下有兵，沖不利。”

The Huangdi Zhàn says: The six thieves are formed by the variation of the Five Phases' energies, appearing in the south, named the six thieves, belonging to the fire element. Meng Kang says: The six thieves star resembles a comet in shape. The Huangdi Zhàn says: In the south there is a star, appearing six zhang above the ground, red in color and flickering frequently, appearing fine with light, very much like the malefic of violence. This is the original star of the southern wilderness, named the six thieves. When it appears, military conflicts arise, and the country becomes turbulent; there will be mourning in the direction where it appears. If it appears to the east, then the southern states will lose their land. Wu Xian says: The six thieves star appears in the southern wilderness, about six zhang above the ground, large and red, flickering frequently with light. The Shiji · Tian Gao Shu says: If the six thieves star does not appear in its proper direction, it indicates military conflicts in the area below, and the opposite direction is unfavorable. The term 'wild star' refers to a variant star appearing in the low sky of the four wildernesses, not belonging to the twenty-eight constellations. The term 'conflict' refers to the direction directly opposite to it.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為獄漢。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“權星散為獄漢。”《黃帝占》曰：“咸漢者，五行之氣，出於北方，名曰咸漢，水之氣也。”班固《天文志》曰：“獄漢，一名曰咸漢。”《天官書》曰：“獄漢星，出正北方之野，星去地可六丈，大而赤，數動，察之中青。”孟康曰：“獄漢，青中赤表，下有三彗縱橫。”《春秋合誠圖》曰：“獄漢主逐王。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“獄漢主刺王。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of the planet Filling Star dissipates and transforms into the demon star called "Yù Hàn." The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars says: The essence of the star Yu Heng, which is the "Weight Star" in the Big Dipper, dissipates and transforms into Yù Hàn. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: Yù Hàn is formed by the qi of the Five Phases, appearing in the north, named Yù Hàn, and belonging to the water phase. Ban Gu's Book of Han, Records of the Celestial Phenomena says: Yù Hàn is also called Xían Hàn. The Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Celestial Officials says: The star Yù Hàn appears in the open fields of due north, about six zhang above the ground, large and red, flickering frequently, and when viewed closely, its center appears blue. Meng Kang says: Yù Hàn is blue inside and red outside, with three comet-like rays crossing each other below. The Spring and Autumn Concordant Diagram says: Yù Hàn is the star that removes the king. The Spring and Autumn Hidden Deep Pool says: Yù Hàn is the star that assassinates the king. This star is named "Yù" because it signifies punishment and imprisonment; various sources sometimes use the names "Yù Hàn" and "Xían Hàn" interchangeably, referring to the same demon star.

《黃帝占》曰：“北方有星，望之，可去地六丈，大而赤，數動，察之，中青黑，其類辰星，謂北方之野星，名曰咸漢，出則兵起，其出也，下有喪；出西，則北方之邦失地。”《洛書兵鈐勢》曰：“獄漢動，諸侯驚。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“獄漢出，陰精橫。”《天官書》曰：“獄漢所出非其方，為其下有兵，沖不利。”《荊州占》曰：“獄漢出則兵起，其下為喪。”

The Huangdi Zhan says: In the north there is a star, which appears about six zhang above the ground, large and red, flickering frequently, and when looked at closely, its center is dark blue-black, resembling the planet Mercury. This is the Northern Wild Star, named Xianhan. When it appears, military affairs arise; in the direction where it appears, there will be mourning; if it appears to the west, the northern states will lose territory. The Luo Shu Bing Qian Shi says: When Xianhan moves, the feudal lords are alarmed. The Chunqiu Yun Dou Shu says: When Xianhan appears, the essence of yin qi spreads unchecked. The Shi Ji Tian Gao Shu says: If Xianhan does not appear in its proper position, there will be military affairs below, and the opposite direction will be unfavorable. The Jingzhou Zhan says: When Xianhan appears, military action will arise, and there will be mourning below.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為大賁。”《河圖》曰：“大賁出，主暴沖也。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of the planet Tian Xing disperses and transforms into the malevolent star "Da Ben." The Yellow River Chart also says: When Da Ben appears, it indicates violent conflicts and confrontations, which is the confrontation of strong forces, leading to warfare.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為炤星。”《河圖》曰：“炤星主滅邦。”又曰：“炤星見，主滅亡。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the star of filling disperses its vital energy, it transforms into the star of illumination, a malevolent star ('zhaowei' means illumination, referring to its bright light shining on people). The Yellow River Chart also says: The star of illumination brings about the downfall of states. There is another statement that: When the star of illumination appears, it signifies the occurrence of calamitous events leading to destruction.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為絀流。”《春秋緯》曰：“絀流主伏逃。”《河圖》曰：“絀流動，天下嗷，主自理，無所逃。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of the planet Filling Star dissipates and transforms into the demon star called 'Chu Liou'. The Spring and Autumn Writings say: Chu Liou presages concealment and flight. The Yellow River Chart also says: When Chu Liou moves, the people throughout the land cry out in sorrow; at this time, the sovereign can only rectify his governance, and there is no other place to flee to.

甘氏曰：“茀星出東南，本有星，末類茀，所當之國，是受其殃。”京房曰：“茀星三角，三年消；五角，五年消；七角，七年消；九角，九年消。”

Gan De said: The star of calamity appears in the southeast, with a root having one star, and the end spreading out like a broom; the country facing it directly will suffer this calamity. Jing Fang said: If the star of calamity has three horns, it will dissipate after three years; if it has five horns, it will dissipate after five years; if it has seven horns, it will dissipate after seven years; if it has nine horns, it will dissipate after nine years.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為旬始。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“樞星散為旬始。”《說苑》曰：“旬始五星，盈縮之所生也。”《廣雅》曰：“旬始，妖氣也。”（徐廣曰：旬始，蚩尤也。）巫咸曰：“旬始出於北斗傍，伏如雄雞，其怒青黑，象伏鰲。”（李奇曰：怒當為孥。晉灼曰：孥，雌也；或曰怒則青色。按司馬長卿《大人賦》曰：垂旬始以為慘兮，槥彗星以為髯。謂此星也。）

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of the planet Filling Star dissipates and transforms into the demon star called "Xun Shi." The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Movement of the Stars says: When the essence of the first star of the Big Dipper, the star called "Shu Xing," dissipates, it transforms into Xun Shi. The Sayings of the States says: Xun Shi is a variation caused by the five planets moving ahead or behind. The Guangya says: Xun Shi is a kind of demon aura. (Original note: Xu Guang says that Xun Shi is Chi You.) Wu Xian says: Xun Shi appears beside the Big Dipper, lying there like a rooster; when it is angry, it appears dark blue, looking like a large turtle lying down. (Original note: Li Qi says that the character "nu" should be "nu." Jin Zhuo says that "nu" means female; some people say that when it is angry, it turns blue. According to Sima Xiangru's "The Assignment of the Great Man," "I hang Xun Shi to express sorrow, and let the comet be my beard," refers to this star.)

《春秋合誠圖》曰：“黃彗分為旬始。旬始者，令起也，狀如雄雞，土含陽以文，白接精象雞，故以為立主之題，十年，聖人起伏。”（宋均注曰：接，理也；題，識也。土含文來，故其氣理為雞，取其知時，土數十也，起作也。）《春秋合誠圖》曰：“旬始主爭兵。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“旬始主亂。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“旬始主招橫。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“旬始其下，必有滅亡，五奸爭治，暴骨積骸，以子續食。見則臣亂、兵作、諸侯為虐。”

The "Chunqiu Hecheng Tu" says: yellow comet-like qi differentiates into Xunshi. The meaning of Xunshi is the emergence of a decree, its shape resembling a rooster; this is earth qi containing yang qi to form its brilliance, white qi converging to form its essence, its appearance like a rooster, so it is taken as a sign for establishing a new ruler, and after ten years a sage will rise to act. (Original commentary: Song Jun's note says, "Jie" means order, "Ti" means sign. Earth qi contains brilliance, so its qi converges into the form of a rooster, taking the meaning of a rooster knowing the time; the number of earth is ten; "Qi" means to begin or start.) The "Chunqiu Kaoyi You" says: Xunshi presages military conflicts. The "Chunqiu Qiantan Ba" says: Xunshi presages the arrival of calamity. The "Chunqiu Kaoyi You" also says: wherever Xunshi appears, there will certainly be a downfall, five kinds of wicked people contend for power, corpses are exposed and piled up, even to the point of exchanging children for food. Its appearance signifies rebellion by ministers, the outbreak of warfare, and the tyranny of feudal lords.

《黃帝占》曰：“常以戊戌（巫咸曰：戊己）視五車中，有奇怪曰旬始，狀如鳥有喙而見者，明則兵大起。攻戰當其首者，破死，欲為之，左右勿逆。”《黃帝占》曰：“旬始見天庫中，所向兵弗能當。”《黃帝占》曰：“旬始出見北斗，聖人受命，天子壽，主者有福。”《文曜鉤》曰：“旬始見，行起北斗傍，期六十日，兵大起，上將軍出，帝自臨兵，期不出年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: On the day of Wuxu, observe the five chariot star regions. If there are strange and abnormal celestial phenomena, it is called Xunshi. Its shape resembles a bird with a sharp beak. If it appears bright, large-scale military actions will arise. The side facing directly toward its head will be defeated and destroyed. To follow it, one should attack from the left and right sides, not directly opposing its head. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: When Xunshi appears in the Tianku star region, the direction it points to will have an unstoppable military force. The Yellow Emperor's Divination further says: When Xunshi appears near the Big Dipper, it signifies a sage receiving heavenly mandate, the emperor living a long life, and the person in power enjoying good fortune. The Wenyaogou says: When Xunshi appears, it moves along the side of the Big Dipper for a period of sixty days, leading to large-scale military campaigns, the generalissimo going on a campaign, and the emperor personally supervising the military. This prediction will be fulfilled within a year.

《春秋緯》曰：“聚變並集，旬始昭，天下有滅主，五奸爭治。”《春秋緯運斗樞》曰：“闢之失樞，旬始出於五諸侯。”《孝經章句》曰：“有妖星在東井陰，名曰旬始，旬始出，主失國，入井則霜。”郗萌曰：“旬始出建星，水災並行，邊境起兵者，備水、盜賊。”班固《天文志》曰：“旬始如鱉，見，群猾橫盜。”《玄冥占》曰；“有星，狀如雄雉，其色赤黃，名曰旬始，見則天下有兵，其國不寧，期三年。”石氏曰：“常以戊戌日，（一曰戊己）視天軍中，有旬始星，狀如烏，見者兵大起，攻戰向其首者破，為之左旋乃戰，常勿逆也。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Writings say: All kinds of anomalies gather together, and Xunshi appears clearly, indicating that a ruler will be destroyed, and five kinds of villains will contend for power. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Book of the Movement of the Pole Star says: When a ruler loses the essential virtue, Xunshi appears near the five feudal lords' stars. The Commentary on the Book of Rites says: An evil star appears in the Yin position of the Well mansion, named Xunshi; when Xunshi appears, the ruler loses the state; if it enters the Well mansion, frost will fall. Xi Meng says: When Xunshi appears in the Jian star, water disasters occur at the same time, and armies rise on the borders; when encountering this celestial phenomenon, one should be cautious of floods and bandits. Ban Gu's Book of Han: The Annals of Astronomy says: Xunshi resembles a tortoise, and when it appears, wicked people gather and commit robbery. The玄冥 Divination says: There is a star that resembles a male pheasant, with a red-yellow color, named Xunshi; when it appears, there will be warfare throughout the world, and the country will not be at peace, and the fulfillment period is three years. Shi Shen says: Usually observe the military star region on the Wu Xu day (note: some say Wu day or Ji day), if Xunshi appears in the middle of the military star region, resembling a crow, when it is seen, large-scale warfare will arise; when fighting, the side facing the head of Xunshi will be defeated; one should turn left and then engage in battle, never directly confront it.

《河圖》曰：“填星之精，散為擊咎。”《河圖》曰：“擊咎出，臣弄主；一曰臣禁主。”《河圖》曰：“擊咎主大兵。”《文曜鉤》曰：“擊咎守軫，耀百尺，為相誅滅。”《河圖》曰：“土精斗七星之域，以長四方，八卦之內，司空之位，有謀反若盜虐者，期如上占。”

The Yellow River Chart says: When the spirit of the planet Filling Star dissipates, it transforms into the malevolent star called "Ji Jiao." The Yellow River Chart also says: The appearance of Ji Jiao indicates that ministers will manipulate the sovereign at will; another interpretation is that ministers will restrain the sovereign. The Yellow River Chart further states: Ji Jiao presages large-scale military conflicts. The Wen Yao Gou says: When Ji Jiao remains in the Chariot Mansion, its brilliance extends for a hundred feet, and high-ranking ministers will be executed. The Yellow River Chart says: This is the spirit of the earth element, corresponding to the celestial region governed by the Big Dipper's seven stars, overseeing all directions and encompassing the Eight Trigrams. It belongs to the position of the Minister of Works. Whenever someone plots rebellion or commits robbery and tyranny, the fulfillment period should be calculated according to the previous divination methods.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為天杵。”石氏曰：“天杵主牂羊。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of the planet Venus (anciently known as "Tai Bai") disperses to become the malevolent star called "Tian Chu." Shi Shen says: Tian Chu presides over calamities related to sheep and goats, that is, disasters concerning cattle and livestock.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為天拊。”《河圖》曰：“天拊主擊殃。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses and transforms into the evil star called "Tian Fu." The Yellow River Chart also says: Tian Fu signifies striking down to bring calamity, meaning that Heaven uses punishment to chastise the world.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為伏靈。”《河圖》曰：“伏靈主領讒。”郗萌曰：“伏靈出，天下亂復治。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses and transforms into the evil star called "Fu Ling." The Yellow River Chart also says: Fu Ling governs those who spread slander, meaning that those who are cunning and deceitful gain power. Xi Meng says: When Fu Ling appears, the world first becomes chaotic, and then returns to stability.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為大敗。”《河圖》曰：“大敗主開街。”韓楊曰：“大敗出，擊咎謀。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses, transforming into the evil star called "Great Defeat." The Yellow River Chart also says: Great Defeat signifies opening roads, referring to the aftermath of warfare where cities are ruined and roads are exposed. Han Yang says: When Great Defeat appears, it should break the plots of those harboring ill intentions.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為司奸。”《河圖》曰：“司奸主見妖。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses and transforms into the malevolent star called "Si Jian." The Yellow River Chart also says: Si Jian causes wickedness to be revealed, and all sorts of strange phenomena become apparent to people.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為天狗。”《黃帝占》曰：“天狗者，五星氣合，變出西南，金火氣合，名曰天狗。”孟康曰：“天狗星有毛，旁有短彗，下有如狗刑者。”（按《三秦記》曰：驪山西有白鹿原，周平王時白鹿出是原，原上有狗枷保秦，襄公時，有天狗枷來下，長保其上，有賊，天狗則吠而護之，故一保無患也。）抱朴子曰：“有黑氣如牛馬入其軍者，名天狗下食血，其軍必敗。”（《廣雅》曰：天狗，妖氣也。）《河圖》曰：“天狗主候兵。”《春秋緯》曰：“天狗主討賊。”《春秋緯》曰：“天狗流，五將開。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses and transforms into the demon star called "Heavenly Dog." The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: Heavenly Dog is a variation resulting from the combination of the five stars' energies, appearing in the southwest, formed by the combination of metal and fire energies, and is called Heavenly Dog. Meng Kang says: Heavenly Dog is a star with a hairy appearance, with a short comet-like tail and a shape resembling a dog below it. (Original note: According to the Sanqin Records, to the west of Li Mountain there is a Bai Lu Plain. During the reign of King Ping of Zhou, a white deer appeared on this plain. On the plain there is a "Gou Jia" protecting the state of Qin. During the reign of King Xiang of Qin, a Heavenly Dog Jia fell down and guarded it for a long time. Whenever there were thieves, the Heavenly Dog would bark to protect it, so the entire fortress remained safe and secure.) Ge Hong's Baopuzi says: If a dark cloud resembling a cow or horse enters a military unit, this is called Heavenly Dog descending to feed on flesh and blood, and that military unit will certainly suffer defeat. (Original note: The Guangya says that Heavenly Dog is a kind of demon energy.) The Yellow River Chart says: Heavenly Dog presages scouts. The Spring and Autumn Wei says: Heavenly Dog presages the suppression of bandits. The Spring and Autumn Wei also says: When Heavenly Dog falls, five generals will move out simultaneously.

石氏曰：“西北有星，長三丈而出，水金氣交，名曰天狗。”（《荊州占》曰：西北三星，大而白，名曰天狗，見則大兵起，天下飢，人相食。按《辛氏秦州記》：乞伏韓歸獵於康狼州，見天上如有十丈餘絳，直下山川，草木皆赤，相氣者云：天狗下。後遂破呂保是也。）石氏曰：“天狗所下之處，必有大戰，破軍殺將，伏尸流血，天狗食之，皆期一年，中二年，遠三年，各以其所下之國，以占吉凶。”

Shi Shen said: In the northwest there is a star, three zhang long, appearing due to the convergence of water qi and metal qi, named Heavenly Dog. (Original book note: The "Jingzhou Divination" says that in the northwest there are three stars, large and white, named Heavenly Dog; when they appear, there will be large-scale warfare, famine across the land, even to the point of cannibalism. According to Xin Shi's "Qin Zhou Ji", Qi Fu Han Gui was hunting in Kang Lang State and saw a red light in the sky,十多丈 long, falling directly into the mountains and rivers, turning the grass and trees red; those who could observe the qi said that this was Heavenly Dog descending. Later, he indeed defeated Lü Bao.) Shi Shen said: Where Heavenly Dog descends, there will certainly be a great battle, armies defeated, generals killed, corpses scattered everywhere, blood flowing like rivers, and Heavenly Dog comes to devour the flesh and blood. The fulfillment period is near one year, medium two years, far three years, and should be judged as auspicious or inauspicious according to the country where Heavenly Dog descends.

郗萌曰：“西北有三大星，出如日狀，名曰天狗。天狗出入相食；一曰昭明下，則為天狗，天狗所下，兵大起，流血。”郗萌曰：“星出，其狀赤白有光，下即為天狗，其下小，小有足，所下之地，必流血，國易政。”

Xi Meng said: In the northwest there are three bright stars, appearing in the shape of the Star of brightness and prestige, called Heavenly Dog; where Heavenly Dog appears, there will be calamities of mutual devouring. Another account says: When the star Zhao Ming appears and falls, it becomes Heavenly Dog; where Heavenly Dog falls, great warfare will break out and rivers of blood will flow. Xi Meng also said: When a star appears, red and white in color with a glow, and falls, it is Heavenly Dog; the lower part is smaller, and at the small end there is a shape like a foot; where Heavenly Dog falls, there will certainly be rivers of blood and the country will change its dynasty.

（按《山海經》曰：“金門之山，有赤犬，名曰天犬，其所下有兵。”郭璞注曰：“《周書》云：天狗所止地盡傾，餘光飛天為流星，長數十丈，其疾如風，聲如雷，走如電。吳楚七國反時過樑野。”《洪範五行傳》曰：“七國之兵戰於梁地，故狗先降梁壘，以見其象也。狗者，守圍之類也。天狗所降，以戒守圍。”班固《天文志》曰：“孝文帝后二年八月，天狗下樑野，是歲誅反者周殷長安市，吳楚攻梁，梁王堅守，遂伏尸流血其下。七年六月，文帝崩。”）

According to the commentary in the original text: The "Shanhai Jing" says: "The Jinmen mountain has a red dog named Tian Gan, and where it descends, there will be warfare." Guo Pu's commentary says: "The "Zhou Shu" states that when Tian Gan descends, the land will collapse entirely, and the remaining light will fly into the sky as a meteor, dozens of zhang long, fast as wind, with the sound like thunder, and moving like lightning. During the rebellion of the Seven States of Wu and Chu, it passed through the plains of Liang state." The "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan" says: "The armies of the Seven States fought in Liang territory, so Tian Gan first descended upon the camps of Liang state, to indicate a sign. Dogs are animals that guard enclosures, so the descent of Tian Gan is a warning to people to guard their enclosures and defend against enemies." Ban Gu's "Han Shu · Tianwen Zhi" says: "In the second year of Houyuan era of Emperor Wen of Han, August, Tian Gan descended upon the plains of Liang state; this year, Zhou Yin was executed for treason in the market of Chang'an. Later, Wu and Chu attacked Liang state, and King Liang defended it firmly, so the corpses lying in heaps and blood flowing was fulfilled here. In June of the seventh year of Houyuan era, Emperor Wen died."

班固《天文志》曰：“哀帝定平元年正月丁未，日出時，有著天白氣，廣如一疋布，長十餘丈，西南行，讙如雷，西行一刻而止，名曰天狗。傳曰：言不從，則有狗禍。到其四年正月、二月、三月，民相驚動，讙譁奔走，傳行詔禱祠西王母。”《兵書》曰：“兩敵相望，其雲氣如牛馬狀，頭低尾仰，名曰天狗，勿與戰。”《荊州占》曰：“天狗犯弧星，大將有千里之行，若貴人多死。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" states: In the first month of Dingwei in the first year of Dingping during the reign of Emperor Ai of Han, at sunrise, there was a white vapor attached to the sky, as wide as a piece of cloth and十多丈 long, moving toward the southwest, making a noise like thunder. It moved westward for an hour before stopping. This phenomenon is called the Heavenly Dog. The "Huangfan Five Phases Transmission" says: If the ruler's commands are not obeyed, there will be a calamity resembling a dog. In the fourth year, during the first, second, and third months, the people were disturbed, shouting and running around, passing on imperial orders to worship the Queen Mother of the West. The "Military Treatises" say: When two armies face each other, if the clouds take the shape of cattle or horses, with their heads low and tails high, this is called the Heavenly Dog, and one should not fight. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If the Heavenly Dog invades the arc star, it indicates that the general will have a distant campaign, or that many noblemen will die.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為天殘。”《春秋緯》曰：“天殘主貪殘。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai disperses and transforms into the demon star called "Tian Can." The Spring and Autumn Wai Jing says: Tian Can governs matters of greed and cruelty, meaning that those in power accumulate wealth without limit and harm the people.

《河圖》曰：“太白之精，散為卒起。”《河圖》曰：“卒起見，禍無時，諸變有萌者，臣運柄。”《河圖》曰：“卒起主虐亡，河少陰之精，大司馬之類，白虎七宿之域，有謀反，若戾虐為害，主失秋政者，期如上占，禍應之。”

The Yellow River Chart says: The essence of Tai Bai dissipates and transforms into the star "Cu Qi," which is an evil star. The Yellow River Chart also says: When Cu Qi appears, calamity may occur at any time without a fixed period; once various anomalies have emerged, it is a sign that ministers may seize power. The Yellow River Chart further says: Cu Qi signifies tyranny and downfall; it is the essence of the Lesser Yin energy, belonging to the duties of the Grand Master of Military Affairs, corresponding to the celestial region of the White Tiger Seven Stars in the west. Whenever someone plots rebellion, or behaves rebelliously and tyrannically, endangering the people, or when the sovereign neglects the political orders to be implemented in autumn, the fulfillment period is calculated according to the previous divination methods, and the calamity will accordingly manifest.

《河圖稽耀鉤》曰：“辰星之精，散為枉矢。”《荊州占》曰：“填星之精，變為枉矢。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“幾星散為枉矢。”《說苑》曰：“枉矢之星，盈縮之所生也。”《鴻範五行傳》曰：“枉矢者，弓弩之象也。枉矢之所觸，天下之所伐，滅亡之象也。”巫咸曰：“枉矢，類大流星，色蒼黑，蛇行，望之，如有毛目，長數丈著天。”

The *Heavenly River Chart* says: When the spirit of the water star (anciently called "Chen Star") dissipates, it transforms into the "Wang Shi" star, a demon star. The *Jingzhou Divination* says: When the spirit of the filling star changes, it becomes Wang Shi. The *Chunqiu Yun Doushu* says: When the spirit of the Big Dipper's Tian Ji star (the "Ji Star") disperses, it becomes Wang Shi. The *Shuo Yuan* says: The Wang Shi star is produced when the five stars move ahead or lag behind. The *Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan* says: Wang Shi symbolizes a bow and arrow; wherever Wang Shi points, it is the common target of the people, a sign of destruction. Wu Xian says: Wang Shi appears like a large meteor, dark blue in color, winding like a snake, appearing to have hair and eyes, several zhang long, clinging to the sky.

《春秋合誠圖》曰：“枉矢主反萌，黑彗分，為枉矢。枉矢者，射星也，水流蛇行；含明，故有毛目；陰合於四，故長四；又水生木，其怒青黑，水滅火，其精沉，故以為謀反之徵；在所流，受者滅，皆為天子之祥；陰道於六，期六年，萌二十四年，天子以兵亡，所已議見起。”

The "Spring and Autumn Concordance Diagram" says: a crooked arrow indicates the beginning of rebellion. When black comet-like energy splits off, it becomes a crooked arrow.the so-called crooked arrow refers to a shooting star, which flows like water and moves like a snake. Because it contains light, it appears to have hair and eyes. The yin number corresponds to four, so its length is four zhang. Also, since water generates wood, when it becomes angry, it appears dark green and black. Since water can extinguish fire, its essence sinks downward, so it is taken as a sign of rebellion. Where it flows, the region it reaches will perish. These are omens concerning the Son of Heaven. The yin path is completed in six, so the fulfillment period is six years, while the brewing period lasts twenty-four years. The Son of Heaven perishes due to military calamity, and those who had secretly plotted and conspired take advantage of the situation to rise up.

《春秋緯》曰：“枉矢主射愚；又曰：枉矢流，射所謀。”《河圖》曰：“枉矢東流天下恐。”《洛書》曰：“枉矢出，夏桀滅。”《尚書中候》曰：“夏桀無道枉矢射。”《河圖真紀鉤》曰：“人君邪暴專已，則枉矢動。”《洛書說徵示》曰：“枉矢射心，山崩火燔宮。”《洛書洛罪級》曰：“枉矢射，主以兵去。”《易緯辨終備》曰：“枉矢流，隱謀合，國雄逃。”《詩緯》曰：“枉矢流，天降喪亂。”《詩緯含神霧》曰：“白之亡，枉矢流。”《尚書運期授》曰：“白之亡也，枉矢射參。”《尚書緯》曰：“枉矢流，天射王。”

The Spring Annals commentary says: a crooked arrow signifies the killing of foolish and stubborn people; it also says that when a crooked arrow flows and falls, it is shooting at those who plot secretly. The Yellow River Chart says: when a crooked arrow flows eastward and falls, the whole world will be in fear. The Luo Writing says: when a crooked arrow appears, the King Jie of Xia will perish. The Shang Shu Zhonghou says: when King Jie of Xia was unjust, a crooked arrow came to shoot him. The Yellow River True Records says: when a ruler is perverse and tyrannical, and acts alone, a crooked arrow will move. The Luo Writing's Illustrations say: when a crooked arrow shoots at the Heart Mansion, mountains will collapse and great fires will burn palaces. The Luo Writing's Crimes and Grades says: when a crooked arrow is shot, the ruler will lose his position due to military disaster. The Yi Wei Bian Zhong Bei says: when a crooked arrow flows and falls, secret plots have already been formed, and heroes in the country will flee. The Shi Wei says: when a crooked arrow flows and falls, heaven sends calamity and disorder. The Shi Wei Han Shen Wu says: when the country of the White Emperor is about to perish, a crooked arrow will flow and fall. The Shang Shu Yun Qi Shou says: when the country of the White Emperor is about to perish, a crooked arrow will shoot at the Three Stars Mansion. The Shang Shu Wei says: when a crooked arrow flows and falls, it is heaven shooting at the king. All these commentaries from various wei texts repeatedly regard a crooked arrow as a sign of regicide and rebellion: an arrow should be straight, but it is like a snake, winding and twisting, so it has always been considered an ominous sign of both ruler and minister losing their proper way. As for the examples given, such as King Jie of Xia and the White Emperor, they are used to confirm this celestial phenomenon by referring to former kings who caused the downfall of their countries.

《春秋緯》曰：“黃之亡，有枉矢下流到地上，屬天下以兵亡，天子凶。”《春秋緯》曰：“枉矢芒，臣不忠。民不良。”《春秋緯》曰：“枉矢或東或西，五穀不升，民流亡。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“枉矢或南或北，無聚眾伐敵國。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“枉矢守虛，卑國以實，尊國虛。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“枉矢守填星，民多事，其大芒也黃，德昌。”《春秋潛潭巴》曰：“枉矢黑，軍士不勇，疾流腫。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: When the country of the Yellow Emperor was about to perish, there was a bent arrow that fell downward to the ground, indicating that the world would perish due to warfare and the Son of Heaven would face calamity. The Spring and Autumn Writings also say: When the bent arrow sprouts芒and角, it signifies that ministers are disloyal and the people are wicked. The Spring and Autumn Writings further say: When the bent arrow moves suddenly east and west, there will be a poor harvest of the five grains, and the people will be displaced and flee. The Spring and Autumn Hidden Deep Pool says: When the bent arrow moves suddenly south and north, it is not advisable to gather people to attack a foreign state. The Spring and Autumn Hidden Deep Pool also says: When the bent arrow stays in the mansion of Emptiness, the weak state becomes strong, while the powerful state becomes empty. The Spring and Autumn Hidden Deep Pool further says: When the bent arrow stays near the planet of Filling, the people will be restless; if its large芒is yellow, it indicates the flourishing of virtue and good governance. The Spring and Autumn Hidden Deep Pool also says: When the bent arrow is black, the soldiers in the army are not brave, and diseases spread, with swelling illnesses prevailing.

《春秋緯運斗樞》曰：“枉矢出，射所誅。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“黃帝行失，則枉矢出，射所謀，謀易失樞之主，故以枉矢射之。”《春秋考異郵》曰：“枉矢見，則謀反之兵合。”《考異郵》曰：“枉矢而流射伐，秦以亡。”《春秋漢含孳》曰：“枉矢流，主見射。”《春秋佐助期》曰：“枉矢流射，黜滅不祥。”《孝經鉤命決》曰：“亂蔣蔣，枉矢出。”《孝經援神契》曰：“枉矢射，匿謀強。”《論語摘輔像》曰：“虛王反度，則枉矢合。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Pivot of the Stars says: When the bent arrow appears, it is aimed at those who should be removed. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Pivot of the Stars also says: When a ruler like the Yellow Emperor acts improperly, the bent arrow appears and is aimed at those who plot to replace the ruler who has lost the essential virtue. The Spring and Autumn Annals: Differentiation of the Mail says: When the bent arrow appears, rebellious armies will gather. The Differentiation of the Mail also says: When the bent arrow falls and is aimed at the place of rebellion, the Qin dynasty thus perishes. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Inclusive Offspring says: When the bent arrow falls, the ruler is shot. The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Period of Assistance says: When the bent arrow falls and shoots out, it signifies the removal and elimination of those who bring misfortune.

《海中占》曰：“枉矢類流星，望之有毛目，長可一疋布，皎皎著天，見則大兵起，大將出，弓弩用，期三年。”石氏曰：“枉矢射心，地陷備虛狼。”郗萌曰：“枉矢出東井，邊境起兵，火災並行，受者備火、盜賊。”《說苑》曰：“秦二世立，枉矢夜光。”郗萌曰：“枉矢射參，秦以亡。一曰帝亡。”班固《天文志》曰：“枉矢所觸，天下之所伐射，滅亡之象也。”

The book "Sea of the Sea" says: A crooked arrow resembles a meteor, appearing with hair and eyes, looking like a piece of cloth, shining brightly in the sky; when it appears, there will be large-scale warfare, generals will go to war, and bows and arrows will be used, and the fulfillment of this omen will take three years. Shi Shen says: A crooked arrow pointing at the Heart mansion indicates ground collapse, and one should be cautious of disasters in the direction of the Empty mansion and the Wolf Star. Xi Meng says: A crooked arrow appearing in the Well mansion indicates military action at the borders and simultaneous fires; the place corresponding to this omen should be cautious of fires and bandits. The "Sayings of the States" says: When Qin Er Shi ascended the throne, a crooked arrow shone in the night. Xi Meng says: A crooked arrow pointing at the Three Stars mansion indicates the fall of the Qin dynasty; another interpretation says it signifies the death of an emperor. Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Records of Celestial Phenomena" says: The place where a crooked arrow strikes is the target of the people of the world's attack, which is a sign of destruction.

（按《宋書天文志》曰晉元帝大典三年四月壬辰，枉出虛危，沒翼軫。永昌元年三月，王敦率江荊之眾來攻京都，六軍距戰，敗績，於是殺護軍將軍周頡、尚書令刁協、驃騎將軍戴弼，又鎮北將軍劉隗出奔。四月，又殺湘州刺史譙土承，鎮南將軍甘卓。閏十一月，元帝崩。間一年，敦亦梟，枉矢之應。）

According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the third year of Da Xing (i.e., the third year of Da Xing) of Emperor Yuan of Jin, on the fourth month, on the day of Renchen, a bent arrow star appeared between the mansion of Emptiness and the mansion of Rooftop, and disappeared between the mansion of Wings and the mansion of Chariot. In the third year of Yong Chang, Wang Dun led his troops from Jiangzhou and Jingzhou to attack the capital, and the imperial army failed to resist. Thus, General Zhou Jie, Chancellor Diao Xie, and General Dai Bi were killed, while General Liu Wei fled. In the fourth month, Xiangzhou Governor Qiao Tusheng and General Gan Zhuo were also executed. In the twelfth month of the leap year, Emperor Yuan died. A year later, Wang Dun himself was beheaded and displayed publicly. This was exactly the fulfillment of the bent arrow star's omen.

班固《天文志》曰：“枉矢流，以亂伐亂。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉元康六年六月丙午，夜有枉矢在斗魁，東南行，是後趙王殺張華，廢賈后，以理太子之冤，遂自篡，以至屠城。光熙元年五月，枉矢西南流，是時司馬越西破河間，奉迎大駕，尋收繆胤和緩等，肆其無君之心，天下惡之，及死，而石勒焚其尸柩也。）

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" says: "Curved arrows flowing and falling indicate chaos and disorder in warfare." (Original commentary: According to the "Astronomical Records" in the "Book of Song," in June of the sixth year of Yuankang during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin dynasty, on a night there was a curved arrow in the area of the Big Dipper's handle, moving toward the southeast direction; afterwards, Prince Sima Lun killed Zhang Hua, deposed Lady Jia, claiming to be avenging the prince, then seized the throne, leading to great massacres. In the first year of Guangxi, in May, the curved arrow flowed toward the southwest and fell. At that time, Prince Sima Yue defeated Prince Hejian in the west, escorted the imperial carriage back to the capital, but soon afterwards arrested people like Miao Yun and He Han, acting with unrestrained ambition, despising the emperor. The whole country detested him; after his death, Shi Le burned his corpse.)

班固《天文志》曰：“項羽救鉅鹿，枉矢西流。占曰：枉矢所觸，天下之所伐射，滅亡象也。物莫直於矢，今蛇行，不能直矢而枉者，執矢者亦不正，以象項羽執政亂也。羽遂合從，坑秦人，屠咸陽。”

Ban Gu's "Book of Han: Astronomical Records" states that when Xiang Yu went to rescue Ju Lu, a bent arrow flowed westward and fell. The divination text says: wherever the bent arrow points, that is the target of the people of the world uniting to attack and shoot at, which is a sign of destruction. The world has nothing straighter than an arrow, yet now it moves like a snake, bending and not remaining straight, indicating that the person holding the arrow is not upright. This symbolizes Xiang Yu holding power but acting in disorder. Later, Xiang Yu indeed joined the feudal lords, killed the surrendered soldiers of the Qin army, and destroyed Xianyang.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“孝靈中平中夏，流星赤如火，長三四尺，起河鼓，入天市，牴觸宦者，星色白，長二三尺，後尾再屈，食頃乃滅，狀似枉矢。占曰：枉矢流發，其官射。所謂矢，當直，而枉者，操矢者邪枉人也。中平六年，大將軍何進謀盡誅中宦，中宦覺，於省中殺進，俱兩破滅，天下由此遂大壞亂。”

In the summer of the Zhongping period of Emperor Ling of the Han dynasty, there was a red meteor, as red as fire, three or four feet long, rising from the star He Gu, entering the celestial market enclosure, and colliding with the star of the eunuchs. The color then turned white, and the length was two or three feet, with the tail curving twice. It lasted about the time of one meal before it disappeared. Its shape was very similar to a bent arrow. The divination text says: when a bent arrow falls and shoots, it indicates that it is aimed at the official department it collides with. Normally, an arrow should be straight, but now it is bent, meaning that the person who shoots the arrow is a wicked and unjust person. In the sixth year of Zhongping, General He Jin plotted to eliminate all the eunuchs. The eunuchs found out and killed He Jin in the palace. Both sides were destroyed, and the world thus fell into great chaos.
