The heart is disturbed by a comet and a wandering star.

《堯圖變書》曰：“大辰有孛，主謀見煞，必有立王相射伐。”《春秋緯》曰：“星茀干大辰，國分為二，大夫制君。”《春秋緯潛潭巴》曰：“有星茀干大辰，受命之君大振兵旅，爭於野。”《春秋緯演孔圖》曰：“彗星賊起入大辰，天帝謀易王。”

The Heart Mansion is the same as the ancient term "Da Chen," which is the fifth of the Seven Stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon, corresponding to the region of Song and Yu. The "Yao Tu Bian Shu" states: when the Da Chen is invaded by the孛 star, it indicates that those who plot will be killed, and certainly someone will proclaim himself king, leading to mutual attacks. The "Chun Qiu Wei" says: when the孛 star invades the Da Chen, the country will split into two, and the ministers will control the king. The "Chun Qiu Wei Qian Tan Ba" says: when the孛 star invades the Da Chen, the king who receives the mandate of heaven will greatly mobilize his military forces and fight a decisive battle in the fields. The "Chun Qiu Wei Yan Kong Tu" says: comets symbolize the rise of bandits; when they invade the Da Chen, it is the will of the heavenly emperor to replace the king.

《春秋感精符》曰：“孛星賊起，光入大辰者，將有陰謀，以邪犯正，與天子爭勢居位者，大臣謀主，兩王並立，周分之異也。”《易緯》曰：“彗星守大辰，東方之疫，天子亡。”《春秋緯》曰：“彗星守大辰，天子哭。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：魏青龍四年十月甲申，有孛星於大辰，長三丈。景初元年，皇后毛氏崩。）

The Spring and Autumn Annals: The Manifestation of the Spirit says: A comet indicates the rise of bandits and rebels. If its light enters the Great Constellation, there will be plots and conspiracies. It signifies the violation of the orthodox, with someone attempting to seize the power and throne of the Son of Heaven. Ministers plot against the sovereign, and two kings stand side by side, which is a portent of the fragmentation of the Zhou dynasty. The Book of Changes: The Commentary says: A comet remains in the Great Constellation, and an epidemic occurs in the east, leading to the death of the Son of Heaven. The Spring and Autumn Commentary says: A comet remains in the Great Constellation, and the Son of Heaven weeps. The original commentary notes: According to the Astronomical Records of the Song dynasty, in the fourth year of the reign of Wei's Qinglong, in the tenth month, on the day of Jiashen, a comet appeared in the Great Constellation, stretching three zhang in length. By the first year of Jingchou, the empress Ma died.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出心，兵起宮中，劍戟交鋒，大臣相疑，有戮死者，近七日，中七十日，遠八十日。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“孛星守心，主位分，大臣謀上，天子凶。”《玄冥》曰：“彗星出心，若守之，天子有喪，德令不出，蝗蟲大起，民大飢流亡，去其鄉，期一年，遠二年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A comet appears in the Heart Mansion, military calamity arises from within the palace, swords and spears clash, ministers suspect each other, someone is killed, the effect occurs within seven days, in the middle period lasts seventy days, and in the distant case lasts eighty days. The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars and the Pole says: A comet remains in the Heart Mansion, the sovereign's position is divided, ministers plot against the sovereign, the Son of Heaven faces danger. The玄冥 says: A comet appears in the Heart Mansion, or stays there, the Son of Heaven suffers loss, edicts of grace cannot be issued, locusts swarm, the people suffer great famine and flee, leaving their homeland, the effect occurs within a year, and in the farthest case lasts two years.

司馬彪《天文志》曰：“孝桓延禧四年五月辛酉，客去營室，稍順行，生芒，長五尺，所至心，一轉為彗，為大喪，後年鄧後以憂死也。”《宋書天文志》曰：“安帝義熙十一年五月甲申，彗星出天市，掃帝位，在房、心北，房、心，宋之分野，占曰：得彗柄者興，除舊佈新，宋興之象也。”

Simabiao's "Astronomical Records" states: In the fourth year of Huan Di's Yanyi period, fifth month, on the day Xinyou, a guest star left the constellation Yingshi, moved slowly in a straight path, and developed a tail five feet long. When it reached the constellation Xinxu, it transformed into a comet, indicating a great mourning. The following year, Deng Hou died from grief and anger. The "Astronomical Records" in the "Book of Song" states: In the tenth year of Yixi of Emperor An of Jin, fifth month, on the day Jiashen, a comet appeared in the constellation Tianshi, sweeping over the star Dizuo, located north of the constellations Fangsu and Xinxu. Fangsu and Xinxu are the territories corresponding to the state of Song. The divination text says: The side that receives the handle of the comet will flourish. This is a sign of removing the old and establishing the new, indicating the rise of the Liu Song dynasty.

《玄冥》曰：“彗星出心，若守之，大水，五穀不成。”石氏曰：“彗孛犯守心，宮鍾大鳴，劍戟交橫，大臣相疑，天下兵起，心變期急，近期七日，中期七十日，遠期百八十日。”

The "Xuanming" states: When a comet appears in the Heart Mansion or stays there, it indicates a great flood, and the five grains will not mature. The Shi school says: When comets and孛 stars attack and remain in the Heart Mansion, the palace bells will ring loudly by themselves, swords and spears will be scattered everywhere, ministers will suspect each other, and the whole country will be in warfare. Any change in the Heart Mansion will have a quick response; the nearest is within seven days, the middle case takes seventy days, and the farthest case takes one hundred and eighty days.

《合誠圖》曰：“掃出尾、箕間，狀如蓬首掃，臣專權。”陳卓曰：“彗星出尾宿，兵革罷弊，天下大飢，君子賣衣，小人賣妻，歲多大風大雨。”《海中占》曰：“彗星出入尾，后相貴臣誅，兵起宮門，宮人走出，國易政，期一年，中二年，遠三年。”

The Tail Mansion is the sixth of the Seven Mansions of the Eastern Azure Dragon, and together with the Winnowing Basket Mansion, it corresponds to the region of Yan and Youzhou. The "Hecheng Tu" states that a sweeping star appearing between the Tail and Winnowing Basket Mansions resembles a disordered broom, indicating that ministers and subordinates will seize power. Chen Zhuo says that a comet appearing in the Tail Mansion signifies military conflicts causing the nation's strength to be exhausted, leading to widespread famine across the land. Scholars will sell their clothes, and commoners will sell their wives and children. Throughout the year, there will be frequent heavy rains and strong winds. The "Hai Zhong Zhan" states that a comet appearing in and moving between the Tail Mansion indicates that the empress, prime minister, and high officials will be executed. Military disasters will start at the palace gate, with palace attendants scattering and fleeing. The country will change its policies, with the fulfillment occurring within one year, two years at the most, and up to three years.

（按《洪範天文志星辰變占》曰：漢文後七年九月，星孛於西方，其本直尾、箕，末指虛、危，長丈餘，及天漢，十六日不見，後三年吳楚七國同時皆反也。）石氏曰：“彗星孛干犯守尾，后有以珠玉簪珥惑天子者，諸讒大起，后相貴臣誅，宮人出走，兵起宮門，多土功，近期百八十日，遠一年。”

The original commentary states: According to the "Heavenly Phenomena and Star Divination" section of the "Hongfan Astronomical Annals," in the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Han's Houxuan period, in the ninth month, a comet appeared in the western sky, its body facing directly the Tail mansion and the Winnowing Basket mansion, and its tail pointing towards the Emptiness mansion and the Rooftop mansion. The comet was over ten feet long and reached the Milky Way. Sixteen days later, it disappeared. Three years later, the Wu and Chu Seven States simultaneously rebelled. The Shi school said: Comets and孛stars invade and remain in the Tail mansion, indicating that later in the palace, someone used pearls and jade hairpins to deceive the emperor, leading to various slanderous rumors. The empress, the chancellor, and high officials were executed, palace attendants fled, and military conflicts began at the palace gate. Great construction projects were carried out, which corresponded to a period of one hundred and eighty days or one year.

石氏曰：“彗星出箕，夷狄為亂，大兵起，天下大旱，糴貴十倍，人多餓死，死者大半，期二年。”《海中占》曰：“彗星出箕，天下大飢，大臣有見棄捐者。”《河圖聖洽符》曰：“彗星出入箕，天下大旱，穀貴，人民飢死，十有五死。”《聖洽符》曰：“彗星守箕，東夷下溼與水軍將為亂。”

Jixu is the last of the seven constellations of the Eastern Azure Dragon, governing affairs of the Northeastern夷狄. Its corresponding region is Yan and Youzhou. The Shi school says that if a comet appears in Jixu, the夷狄 will cause disturbances, large-scale wars will break out, the whole country will suffer a great drought, grain prices will rise tenfold, many people will die of starvation, and more than half of the people will perish, with the prophecy coming true within two years. The "Sea Divination" says that if a comet appears in Jixu, the whole country will face a great famine, and some ministers will be dismissed and expelled. The "Yellow River Chart Sacred Harmony Symbol" says that if a comet enters and exits Jixu, the whole country will suffer a great drought, grain prices will soar, the people will starve to death, and out of ten people, five will die. The "Sacred Harmony Symbol" says that if a comet remains in Jixu, the eastern夷, who live in low-lying water areas, and their naval commanders will rise up in rebellion.

甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯南斗度，其國必亂，兵大起，期一年。”陳卓曰：“彗茀長干犯南斗，王者病疾，臣謀其君，子謀其父，弟謀其兄，是謂無理，諸侯不通，天下易政，大亂兵起，期百八十日，遠不出一年。”

The Southern Dipper is the first of the seven northern constellations of the Black Tortoise. Its corresponding region is Wu-Yue and Yangzhou. The Gan school says that if a comet or a meteor stream invades the area of the Southern Dipper, the country will certainly experience turmoil and a large-scale war, which will come to pass within a year. Chen Zhuo says that if a long comet invades the area of the Southern Dipper, the king will fall ill, ministers will plot against their sovereign, sons will plot against their fathers, and younger brothers will plot against their elder brothers, which is called the complete breakdown of order. Among the feudal lords, there will be no communication, the world will change its policies, and great chaos and military uprisings will occur, which will come to pass within 180 days, and at the latest within a year.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉武帝太康八年九月，星孛干犯南斗，長數十丈，十餘日滅。太康末，武帝躭晏遊，多病疾，是月乙酉，帝崩。永平元年，賈后誅楊駿及其黨與，皆夷三族。楊太后亦殺，是年又誅汝南王亮，太保衛瓘，楚王偉，王室兵喪之應也。）

Original book notes: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the ninth month of the eighth year of Emperor Wu of Jin's Taikang era, a comet appeared and approached the southern dipper, extending dozens of feet in length, and disappeared after more than ten days. Towards the end of the Taikang era, Emperor Wu became addicted to feasts and entertainments, suffering from illness, and died on the ethanous day of the month. In the first year of Yongping, the Empress Dowager Jia executed Yang Jun and his associates, who were all exterminated along with their three families, and Yang Dowager was also killed; in the same year, the princes of Runan, Wei, and Chu were executed—these events were the fulfillment of the royal family's wars and chaos.

《春秋緯》曰：“彗星出南斗，天下有勢皆謀。”《孝經雌雄圖》曰：“彗星出南斗中，宮中失火，燒寶。”甘氏曰：“彗星出南斗，大臣謀反，兵水並起，天下亂，將軍有戰，若流血；星若滅斗，其國主亡；若星明，反臣受殃，近三年，中五年，遠七年。”

The Spring and Autumn Writings say: When a comet appears in the Dipper mansion, all those in power throughout the land will have conspiracies in their hearts. The Diagram of the Filial Classic says: When a comet appears in the Dipper mansion, there will be a fire in the palace, burning precious treasures. The Gan school says: When a comet appears in the Dipper mansion, ministers will rebel, and military calamities and floods will occur together, causing chaos throughout the land. Generals will lead armies to fight, even resulting in bloodshed. If the comet's light obscures the light of the Dipper mansion, the ruler of the country will die. If the comet's light is bright, then the conspiring ministers will suffer. This prophecy will be fulfilled within three years, or five years in the middle, or seven years at the furthest.

《荊州占》曰：“彗星出南斗，天下皆謀上。”石氏曰：“彗星茀於斗、房，赤帝之後受令，人主凶，有亡國。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If a comet appears in the Southern Dipper, all people will plot against the sovereign. The Shi school says: If comets or孛stars appear in the Dipper mansion and the Room mansion, it indicates that the descendants of the Red Emperor will receive the mandate of heaven, and the current sovereign will face danger, with the possibility of the state's destruction.

甘氏曰：“彗茀干犯牽牛，吳越兵自立，三年而滅。”（陳卓云：期一年，遠三年。）《彗要占》曰：“彗茀干犯牽牛，中國起兵。”《荊州占》曰：“彗入天鼓，有兵。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干牽牛、須女之間，狀如彗，其本有四星壘然，此星出，為兵，此辰星變見，不過一年，兵大起，國飢。”

Tian Niu is the Niuxu, the second of the Seven Northern Black Tortoise mansions, and shares the same region as Nan Dou, belonging to the territories of Wu-Yue and Yangzhou. The Gan school says: if a comet or a meteorite attacks Tian Niu, there will be someone in Wu-Yue who rises up with an army, and this will be eliminated after three years. The original commentary notes: Chen Zhuo said the fulfillment would be within one year, at the furthest three years. The "Comet Divination" says: if a comet or meteorite attacks Tian Niu, there will be warfare in the Central Plains. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if a comet enters Tian Gu star, there will be military affairs. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: if a comet attacks Tian Niu and Xunü between them, and the shape is like a comet, with four stars layered beneath the comet's body, such a star indicates military affairs, which is an unusual phenomenon shown by Chen Star, and the fulfillment will not exceed one year, with large-scale warfare breaking out and domestic famine occurring.

《海中占》曰：“彗星出牽牛，四夷兵起，邊境為亂，來侵中國，人主有憂，期一年，中二年，遠三年。”（司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝章建初元年八月庚寅，彗星出天市，長二尺，所行稍入牽牛三度，積四十日稍滅。彗出天市，為外軍。牽牛為異越。是時，蠻夷陳縱等反，安夷長宋延為西羌所殺，校尉馬防行車騎將軍徵西羌，又阜陵王延子男魴謀反，大逆天道，得不誅，廢為侯。）

The book "Sea Divination" states: When a comet appears in the constellation Niutou, the four directions of the夷狄 will raise armies, there will be disturbances on the borders, and they will invade the Central Plains. The ruler will have worries, and the fulfillment period is one year, in the middle two years, and farthest three years. The original book's note says:司马彪's "Astronomical Records" states that in the first year of Jianchu of Emperor Zhang of Han, in August, on the day of Gengyin, a comet appeared in the Tianshi Enclosure, was two feet long, and gradually entered the third degree of Niutou during its movement, and after forty days it slowly dispersed. A comet appearing in Tianshi indicates foreign armies; Niutou indicates the regions of Wu and Yue. At that time, the夷狄 Chen Zong and others rebelled, and the county magistrate of Anyi, Song Yan, was killed by the Western Qiang. General-in-Chief Ma Fang was dispatched to campaign against the Western Qiang under the title of Commander of the Carriage and Cavalry; there was also a rebellion by Liu Fu, the son of Prince Fuling Liu Yan, who committed a great crime against the state, but he was spared death and demoted to the rank of Marquis.

陳卓曰：“彗星牽牛，改元易號之象也。”（按班固《天文志》曰：哀帝建平二年，彗出牽牛七十餘日，《傳》曰：彗，所以掃舊布新也。牽牛，日月五星所從起，曆數之元，三正之始。彗而出之，政吏之象也。而出久者，其事大也。其六月甲子，夏賀良等建言，當改元、易號，增漏刻，詔書改建平二年為大初元德元年，號曰陳聖劉太平皇帝，漏刻以百二十為度，八月丁巳，悉復蠲除之，賀良及黨與皆伏誅、流放，其後年，有王莽篡國之禍。《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝永康元年十二月，彗出牽牛之西，指天市，明年，趙王篡位改元，尋為大兵所滅也。）又曰：“多兵，糴貴，牛大死。”《春秋聖洽符》曰：“彗星牽牛，北夷驕奢，治將為亂。”

Chen Zhuo said: A comet appearing in the constellation Niutou signifies a change of era and a new title. The original commentary notes: According to Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records," in the second year of Jianping during Emperor Ai of Han, a comet appeared in the constellation Niutou for more than seventy days. The "Classic of Changes" says: A comet is used to sweep away the old and lay down the new. The constellation Niutou is the starting point of the movement of the sun and moon and the five planets, the beginning of calendar calculations, and the starting point of the three dynasties of Xia, Shang, and Zhou. A comet appearing in this constellation signifies a change in government and officials, and the longer it appears, the more significant the matter. In this year, on the sixth month, the day Jiazi, Xia Heliang and others suggested that the era should be changed and a new title adopted, and the system of water clocks should be reformed. The imperial edict then changed the year Jianping two to Taichu Yunde year one, and the emperor was called "Chen Saint Liu Taiping Emperor." The water clocks were reformed to measure 120 beats. In the eighth month, on the day Dingsi, these measures were all abolished, and Xia Heliang and his followers were either executed or exiled. The following year, the disaster of Wang Mang's usurpation occurred. The "Astronomical Records" of the "Song History" says: In the first year of Yongkang during Emperor Hui of Jin, in December, a comet appeared west of the constellation Niutou, with its tail pointing toward the Tianshi Enclosure. The following year, Prince Sima Lun usurped the throne and changed the era, but was soon defeated by the army. Chen Zhuo also said: This signifies frequent military conflicts, high grain prices, and large-scale death of cattle. The "Spring and Autumn Classic of Divine Signs and Symbols" says: A comet appearing in the constellation Niutou indicates that the northern barbarians are arrogant and extravagant, and rebellion will occur in their territories.

石氏曰：“彗弟干犯須女，鄰國有以奇女來侍省。”石氏曰：“彗孛干犯須女，其邦兵起，女為亂，若妾遷為後，王者無信，大亂，期不出三年，退女所親，天下安寧矣。”

The constellation Su Nu is also called Nu Xu, the third of the Seven Northern Tripod Constellations (Xuan Wu), corresponding to the region of Qi and Qingzhou. The Shi school says: if a comet or a strange star (the original text says 'comet and brother,' but 'brother' is likely a mistake for 'Fufu') attacks Su Nu, a neighboring state will have someone present an extraordinary woman to serve in the royal court. The Shi school also says: if a comet or a strange star attacks Su Nu, that state will experience warfare, women causing disturbances, or a concubine being elevated to queen. The king will lose the trust of others, leading to chaos throughout the land, and this prediction will not be fulfilled within three years. If the king can dismiss the favored woman and her relatives, the land will become peaceful.

《感精符》曰：“彗星出須女，其國大兵起，女主為亂，王者惡之，將軍戮死，若以戰亡，期不出三年。”（按檀道鸞《晉陽秋》曰：孝武寧康二年正月丁巳，有星孛於女、虛，芒長四尺，西南指。太元二年五月，苻堅遺偽帥毛當符，寇逼西涼州，虜刺史西平公張天錫，送于堅所。冬十月，車騎桓沖遣諮議參軍淮南太守劉波沈舟淮泗，乘虛設計，以送涼州，又發三州官吏，移救流民，悉置淮南也。）

The "Gan Jing Fu" says: When a comet appears in the Girl Mansion, the country will experience large-scale warfare, the female ruler will cause chaos, the king will be displeased, generals will be killed or die in battle, and the prophecy will not be fulfilled within three years. The original commentary notes: According to Tan Daoluan's "Jingyang Chou," in the second year of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin's Ningkang period, on the first day of the first lunar month, on Dingsi, a comet appeared in the Girl Mansion and the Emptiness Mansion, with a tail four feet long, pointing to the southwest. In the second year of Taoyuan, Fu Jian sent his false general Mao Dang and Fu Mou to attack Xilangzhou, capturing the governor Zhang Tianxi of Xiping and sending him to Fu Jian. In the same year, in the tenth lunar month of winter, General Huan Chong sent his advisor and governor of Huainan Liu Bo to set up a naval ambush in the Huai River and Si River, planning to rescue Xilangzhou by taking advantage of the enemy's weakness; he also mobilized officials from three states, relocated and assisted the displaced people, and settled them all in Huainan.

巫咸曰：“彗星出須女之間，辰星之變也。”陳卓曰：“彗星出須女，帝以女亡，有水災，糴大貴，鹽貴。”

Wu Xian said: A comet appearing in the area of Su Nu indicates an unusual phenomenon caused by the change of Chen Star. Chen Zhuo said: A comet appearing in Su Nu signifies the downfall of a ruler due to women, water disaster, a sharp rise in the price of grain, and also an increase in the price of salt.

郗萌曰：“彗星干犯虛中，有哭泣之事，牆垣無立者，有井田之法，改制之事。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯虛，宗廟起兵。”陳卓曰：“彗星孛犯干虛，其國野戰流血，星芒角所指，兵所積也。”甘氏曰：“彗星孛於虛，其國亡。”

Xu is the fourth of the Seven Northern Tripod Constellations, belonging to the same region as Nu and Wei, which correspond to Qi and the state of Qingzhou. Xi Meng said that if a comet attacks the middle of Xu, there will be mourning and deaths, walls collapsing with none remaining, and the implementation of well-field systems and changes to the laws. The Jiangzhou Divination says that if a comet attacks Xu, warfare will arise at the site of ancestral temples. Chen Zhuo said that if comets or shooting stars attack Xu, the country will suffer from bloody battles in the open field, and the direction indicated by the sharp tip of the star's light will be where the troops are gathered. The Gan school said that if comets appear in Xu, the country will perish.

《帝覽嬉》曰：“彗星出虛，兵大起，天子自將兵於野，大戰流血，其芒炎所指，國必亡，期三年，遠五年。”《春秋緯運斗樞》曰：“彗孛出虛、危間，大司空行誅。”郗萌曰：“彗星出虛、危間，天下亂。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星出虛、危間，司空行謀。”陳卓曰：“彗星出虛，大水，期三年。”

The "Imperial Inspection and Enjoyment" states: When a comet appears in the mansion of Emptiness, a large-scale war breaks out, and the emperor personally leads his troops to fight in the fields, resulting in a great battle with much bloodshed; the direction indicated by the comet's flame will be the country that will surely perish, and this will come to pass within three years, at the furthest five years. The "Spring Annals and the Turning of the Dipper" states: When a comet and a forked star appear between the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop, the Grand Minister of Works must carry out executions. Xi Meng states: When a comet appears between the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop, the world will experience chaos. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: When a comet appears between the mansions of Emptiness and Rooftop, the Minister of Works harbors schemes. Chen Zhuo states: When a comet appears in the mansion of Emptiness, it signifies a great flood, which will come to pass within three years.

《玉曆》曰：“彗星出虛、危之間，其國有叛臣，兵大起，將軍出行，國易政，期三年。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝永康二年四月，彗星見齊分，是時，齊王向起兵討趙王倫，倫滅，向擁兵不朝，專權淫奢，明年誅死。宋武永初三年二月辛已，有星孛於虛、危，繞河津，掃河鼓。占曰：為兵喪。五月宮車晏駕，明年，遣軍救青司，二月，太后蕭氏崩。）

The "Yulü" says: When a comet appears between the mansion of Xuxiu and Weixiu, the country will have a traitorous minister, large-scale warfare will break out, generals will go to war, and the country will change its policies. This will be fulfilled in three years. The original commentary notes: According to the "Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi", in the second year of Yongkang of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, in April, a comet appeared in the territory of the state of Qi. At that time, Prince Ji (the original text says "Xiang", which should refer to Prince Jiao of Qi) raised an army to attack Prince Sima Lun of the House of Sima. After Sima Lun was defeated, Ji refused to return to the court, seized power, indulged in luxury, and was executed the next year. In the third year of Yongchu of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, in February, a comet named Bo appeared between Xuxiu and Weixiu, circling the star of Hejin and sweeping over the star of Hehu. The divination text said this foretold military calamity and death. In May, Emperor Wen died. The next year, the army was sent to rescue the states of Qingzhou and Sizhou. In February, the Xiao太后 died.

石氏曰：“彗孛干犯危，其國有叛者，兵起，大將軍出。”甘氏曰：“彗星出危，天下亂，司空行誅，有土功之事，兵大起，期二年。”《玄冥》曰：“彗星出危，其國有叛臣，兵大起，將軍出，國易政，若大水，民飢，期三年。”陳卓曰：“彗星出孛於危，帝必易，有大水，糴大貴。”

The fifth of the Seven Northern Wilderness Stars is called Wei Su. Its corresponding region is also Qi land and the state of Qingzhou. The Shi school says that if a comet or a孛 star attacks Wei Su, there will be rebels in the country, military disasters will arise, and a general will go to war. The Gan school says that if a comet appears in Wei Su, the whole country will be in turmoil, the Minister of Works will carry out executions, there will be large-scale construction projects, and a great war will break out, with the event occurring within two years. The "Xuan Ming" text says that if a comet appears in Wei Su, the country will have a traitorous minister, a great war will break out, a general will go to war, the country will change its policies, or there will be a great flood and famine, with the event occurring within three years. Chen Zhuo says that if comets or孛 stars appear in Wei Su, the throne will certainly change, there will be a great flood, and grain prices will rise sharply.

甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯營室，先起兵者弱，不可以戰，戰必亡地，主將必亡去之，近期百八十日，遠二年。”《聖洽符》曰：“彗星出營室，有大水。”（按韋昭《洞記》曰：漢成建始元年正月，有星孛於營室，三年秋，關內大水也。）《聖洽符》曰：“彗星出營室，天下兵大起。”

Camp and Mansion is the same as the Encampment Mansion, which is the sixth of the seven northern Black Tortoise constellations. Its corresponding region is the state of Wei and the Bingzhou region, and in the system of the Star of Officialdom, it governs matters concerning palaces and the imperial harem. The Gan school says: if a comet or a meteorite attacks the Encampment Mansion, the side that initiates the military action is weak and should not engage in battle; if they do, they will certainly lose territory, and the commander-in-chief will surely be defeated and flee. This prediction is verified within a period of one hundred and eighty days, or as long as two years. The book "Shengqia Fu" states: if a comet appears in the Encampment Mansion, there will be a great flood. The original book's marginal note says: according to Wei Zhao's "Dong Ji," in the first month of the first year of Jianshi during the reign of Emperor Cheng of the Han dynasty, a comet appeared in the Encampment Mansion. In the autumn of the third year of Jianshi, a great flood occurred in the region of Guanzhong. "Shengqia Fu" also states: if a comet appears in the Encampment Mansion, great military calamities will arise throughout the country.

齊伯曰：“彗星出室、壁間，兵大起，若有大喪，有亡國死王，期不出三年。”（按司馬《天文志》曰：孝順帝永和六年二月丁巳，彗星見東方，長六七尺，色青白，西南指營室及墳墓星，後四年，孝順帝崩。《宋天文志》曰：宋武永初三年十一月戊午，有星孛於室壁，少帝景平元年正月乙卯，有星孛於東壁。白色，二丈餘，拂天苑，二十日滅，是年兵救青司，二月，太后蕭氏崩。）

Qi Bo said: A comet appeared between the Encampment Mansion and the Wall Mansion, indicating a large-scale war or a great mourning, or the fall of a state and the death of a king, but the prophecy did not come true within three years. The original commentary notes: According to Wang Shubiao's "Astronomical Records," in the second month of the sixth year of Emperor Shun of the Han dynasty, on the Dingsi day, a comet appeared in the east, measuring six or seven feet long, with a pale blue and white color, pointing toward the southwest direction of the Encampment Mansion and the Burial Star; four years later, Emperor Shun died. The "Astronomical Records" of the "Book of the Song" states: In the eleventh month of the third year of Emperor Wudi of the Song dynasty, on the Wuwu day, a comet appeared in the Encampment Mansion and Wall Mansion; in the first month of the first year of Emperor Xiaowu's Jingping era, on the Yimao day, another comet appeared in the eastern Wall Mansion, white in color, more than two zhang long, sweeping past the Tianyuan star, and disappeared after twenty days. That year, an army was sent to rescue Qingzhou and Sizhou, and in the second month, the Xiao Empress Dowager died.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出營室，天下亂，易政。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：魏嘉平三年十一月癸亥，有星孛於營室，積九十日，正元二年二月，李豐、豐弟兗州刺吏翼後父、光祿大夫張緝等謀亂，皆伏誅，皇后亦廢，其九月，帝廢為齊王，高貴鄉公代立也。）

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A comet appearing in Yingshi indicates chaos throughout the land and changes in government. The original commentary notes: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Song History," in the third year of Wei's Jiaping era, in November, on the day Guihai, a comet named Bo appeared in Yingshi and remained visible for ninety days. In the second year of Zhengyuan, in February, Li Feng and his brother, the governor of Yanzhou Li Yi, and Zhang Ji, the father of the empress and a Grand Master of the Imperial Grace, conspired against the court and were all executed, and the empress was also deposed. In the same year, in September, the emperor was deposed and became the Marquess of Qi, and Gaoxiangxianggong succeeded to the throne.

郗萌曰：“以五色占其吉凶。”《黃帝占》曰：“孛見營室中，後宮且有亂；一曰：有德令。”（按《洪範天文志星辰變占》曰：漢成建始元年正月，有星孛於營室，青白色，長六七丈，廣尺餘。占曰：營室為後宮，懷妊之官，彗星加之，將害人性。其後許皇后坐祝詛廢，趙飛鶯為皇后，弟為昭儀，害兩皇子，卒皆徙伏辜，家屬於遼西也。）

Xi Meng said: One should use the five colors displayed by the comet to determine its auspicious or inauspicious implications. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: If the comet appears in the constellation Yingshi, there will be turmoil in the harem; another interpretation suggests it indicates an imperial decree of grace. The original text's note states: According to the Hongfan Astronomical Records on Celestial Changes and Divination, in the first month of Jianshi Year 1 of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, a comet appeared in Yingshi, with a bluish-white color, extending six or seven zhang in length and over one chi in width. The divination text says: Yingshi governs the harem and is the star official responsible for pregnancy and childbirth. If a comet appears over it, it will harm human lives. Later, Consort Xu was convicted of sorcery and deposed, while Zhao Feiyan (the original text reads 'Feiying') was made empress. Her sister became the Grand Attendant, and she killed two imperial sons. In the end, both were executed and their families were exiled to Liaoxi.

郗萌曰：“諸孛氣在營室，民人疾疫、死亡。”《河圖》曰：“彗起芒，臨營室，以告咎。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干守營室，則五校三車動，兵不戰，牛馬驚不出，七十日。”石氏曰：“彗星犯守營室，先起兵者不可以戰，必亡地，期三年，遠六年。”

Xi Meng said: various chaotic qi are stationed in Yingshi, and the people will suffer from plague and death. The Yellow River Chart says: a comet appears with apointed rays, approaching Yingshi, which is a heavenly sign indicating calamity. The Jingzhou Divination says: if a comet attacks and remains in Yingshi, then the five schools of military forces and the three car units will all be mobilized, although troops are moved, there will be no battle, oxen and horses will be startled and unwilling to leave the stable, lasting for seventy days. The Shi school says: if a comet attacks and remains in Yingshi, the side that moves troops first cannot engage in battle, and will certainly lose territory, the fulfillment period is three years, at the furthest six years.

石氏曰：“彗茀干犯東壁，其國起兵，火災廟堂，四門流血，天下隔。”《荊州占》曰：“彗孛干犯東壁，文章者死。”郗萌曰：“諸孛氣入東壁，人民疾疫，多死亡。”

East Wall is the same as the Wall Mansion, which is the last of the seven northern Black Tortoise mansions. In the Star of Officialdom, it governs books and writings. Its corresponding region is the same as that of the Encampment Mansion, both belonging to the territory of Wei and the Bingzhou region. The Shi school says: if a comet or a meteor stream attacks the East Wall, the country will experience warfare, the palace will suffer a fire, blood will flow in the four city gates, and communication throughout the world will be cut off. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if a comet or meteor stream attacks the East Wall, those who handle literary works will die. Xi Meng says: if various meteor streams enter the East Wall, the people will suffer from epidemics and many will die.

巫咸曰：“彗星出東壁，王者起兵，毀壞宗廟，四門伏兵，流血滂滂，人民惶惶，莫知其殃，近期一年，中期三年，遠五年。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星出東壁，大水，民流於道。”

Wu Xian said: A comet appears in the eastern wall constellation, the king will mobilize troops, destroy ancestral temples, and have armies hidden at the four city gates. Blood flows in torrents, and the people are frightened and anxious, not knowing where the calamity comes from. This will be fulfilled within a year, or in the middle of three years, or in the farthest five years. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: A comet appearing in the eastern wall constellation indicates a great flood, with people wandering on the roads.

甘氏曰：“彗星干犯奎度，其國君出戰，大飢，人相食，國無繼嗣，近期一年，遠三年。”石氏曰：“彗星出西北，舉兵伐中國，其下食石千錢，天下大水。”《海中占》曰：“彗星出奎，有大兵起，四夷來伐中國，郡君出戰，天下大飢，有水災，期三年，遠五年。”

Quix宿 is the first of the seven western White Tiger constellations, its territory corresponding to Lu and Xu regions. In the system of celestial officials, it presides over the military storehouse. The Gan school says that when a comet appears in the degree of Quix, the ruler of the country will go to war, there will be a great famine, people will eat each other, and the king will have no descendants. This prediction will be fulfilled within a year, or at the furthest three years. The Shi school says that when a comet appears in the northwest, it indicates that someone will raise an army to attack the Central Plains. The territory under this constellation will have grain prices as high as one stone costing a thousand coins, and the whole country will suffer from great floods. The Sea Divination says that when a comet appears in Quix, there will be a great war, the four surrounding barbarian tribes will attack the Central Plains, the governors of the commanderies and states will go to war, the whole country will suffer from a great famine, and there will be floods. This prediction will be fulfilled within three years, or at the furthest five years.

《河圖》曰：“杵彗出貫奎，庫兵悉出，禍在強侯，外夷相應，首謀期三年，遠九年。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉惠帝元康五年四月，有星孛於奎，到軒轅、太微，經三臺、大陵。占曰：奎為魯，又為庫兵，軒轅為後宮，太微天子廷，三臺為三公，大陵有積尸、死喪之事。明年，武庫火，西羌反；後五年，司空張華遇禍，賈后廢死，魯公賈謐誅；又明年，趙王倫篡位，於是三公興兵討倫，士民戰死十餘萬人也。）

The Yellow River Chart says: A comet shaped like a pestle appears and spans the Legs mansion, and all the weapons in the military storehouse are taken out. Calamity will fall upon the powerful feudal lords, and the barbarian tribes will rise in support. The person leading the plot will be confirmed within three years, but possibly as far as nine years later. The original commentary notes: According to the Astronomical Records of the Book of the Later Han, in the fourth month of the fifth year of Yuan Kang during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, a comet named Bo appeared in the Legs mansion, moving on to the轩辕 and Taiwei constellations, then passing through the Three Ranks and Da Ling. The divination text says: The Legs mansion governs Lu territory and also the military storehouse of weapons; the轩辕 constellation governs the imperial harem; Taiwei is the court of the Son of Heaven; the Three Ranks govern the Three Grand Ministers; Da Ling contains the star of accumulated corpses, which presages death and mourning. The next year, the military storehouse caught fire, and the Western Qiang rebelled; after five years, the Minister of Works Zhang Hua was killed, and the Dowager Jia was deposed and died, while the Duke of Lu, Jia Mi, was executed; after another year, Prince Sima Lun usurped the throne, and thus the Three Grand Ministers raised an army to attack Sima Lun, resulting in the death of over a hundred thousand scholars and commoners.

《荊州占》曰：“彗星守奎，魯國兵起。”《宋書天文志》曰：“晉成帝成康二年正月辛巳，彗星夕見西方，在奎，占曰：為兵喪，奎又邊兵。四年，石虎伐慕容晃，不克，既退，晃追擊之，又破，麻秋時，晃稱藩，邊兵之應也。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: A comet remains in the Legs mansion, indicating military conflict in Lu state. The *Song Book · Astronomical Records* states: In the second year of Xiankang of Emperor Cheng of Jin, on the first month, day Xinsi, a comet appeared in the west in the evening, located in the Legs mansion. The divination text says: This indicates military calamity and funerals. The Legs mansion also governs military affairs on the borders. In the fourth year of Xiankang, Shi Hu attacked Modu Chao, but failed to win. After retreating, Modu Chao pursued and defeated him again. When Ma Qiu led the troops, Modu Chao submitted to the court as a vassal — this is the response of border military affairs.

石氏曰：“彗孛干犯婁，國有大兵，四時絕祠，遠不出三年。”陳卓曰：“彗孛干犯婁，臣奪君位，近期一年，遠三年。”《海中占》曰：“彗星出婁，國有大兵，四時絕祠，有亡國，先旱後水，人民飢、死，五穀大貴，糴無價，期一年，遠二年。”陳卓曰：“彗星出婁，六畜疫。”

The second of the Seven Western White Tigers is theBond mansion, which shares the same territory as theLegs mansion, both belonging to the region of Lu and Xu. The Shi school says that if a comet or a meteorite approaches theBond mansion, there will be a great war within the country, the worship in the four seasons will be interrupted, and the omen will be fulfilled within three years at the latest. Chen Zhuo says that if a comet or a meteorite approaches theBond mansion, a minister will seize the throne from the king, and the omen will be fulfilled within a year, or at the latest three years.

石氏曰：“彗茀干犯胃，五穀不成，倉庫空虛。”甘氏曰：“彗干犯胃，其國兵起，不出三年。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出胃、昴之間，狀如竹竿而細，此星出，為兵戎，此太白之變見，不過一年，其國兵起，若有喪。”

The Stomach mansion is the third of the seven White Tiger mansions in the west. In the Star of officialdom, it governs granaries and storage. Its corresponding region still belongs to the area of Lu and Xu. The Shi school says that if a comet or a meteorite attacks the Stomach mansion, the five grains will not mature and the granaries will be empty. The Gan school says that if a comet attacks the Stomach mansion, the country will experience warfare, and this will be verified within three years. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says that if a comet appears between the Stomach mansion and the Hairy Head mansion, shaped like a bamboo pole and thin, this star indicates military affairs. It is an unusual phenomenon caused by the transformation of Tai Bai. The verification will not take more than one year, and the country will either go to war or suffer a mourning event.

巫咸曰：“彗星出胃，大臣為亂，天下兵起，五穀不升，人民飢餓，京都國倉，悉皆空虛，期三年，中五年，遠七年。”郗萌曰：“彗星出胃、昴之間，狀如竹彗，為兵災，若火。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星出胃、昴之間，大國起兵。”

Wu Xian said: A comet appearing in the Stomach mansion indicates ministers causing rebellion, the whole country mobilizing troops, poor harvests of the five grains, people suffering from hunger, and the granaries of the capital and the state becoming empty. This will be fulfilled in three years, confirmed in five years, and fully realized in seven years. Xi Meng said: A comet appearing between the Stomach mansion and the Hairy Head mansion, shaped like a bamboo broom, indicates military disaster or fire disaster. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: A comet appearing between the Stomach mansion and the Hairy Head mansion indicates that a great state will mobilize troops.

甘氏曰：“彗星孛干犯昴度，大臣亂國，兵大驚，期一年。”《春秋運斗樞》曰：“彗星孛出昴、畢間，大邦起王。”甘氏曰：“彗星出見昴，有喪。”巫咸曰：“彗星出昴，大臣為亂，君弱臣強，邊兵大起，天子憂之，人民驚恐，國有憂主，期一年，中二年，遠三年。”

TheHairy Head mansion is the fourth of the seven western White Tiger mansions, governing the military affairs of the Hu people, and its corresponding territory belongs to Zhao and Ji Zhou. The Gan school says that if a comet or shooting star invades the degree ofHairy Head mansion, there will be chaos among ministers, disorder in the country, and great disturbance in the military, with the event occurring within a year. The "Spring and Autumn Movement of the Stars" states that if a comet appears betweenHairy Head mansion andNet mansion, there will be someone rising to become a king within a great state. The Gan school also says that if a comet appears inHairy Head mansion, it indicates mourning.

（按司馬彪《天文志》曰：光武建武十五年正月丁未，彗星見昴，稍西北，行入營室，犯離宮，三月乙未，至東壁滅，見四十九日。彗星為兵，又除穢；昴為胡兵。至十一月，定襄都尉陰承反，太守隨誅之，盧芳從匈奴入，居高柳。至十六年十月，芳降，上璽綬。一曰：昴為獄事。是時大司徒歐陽歙以事繫獄，踰歲死。離宮，妃后之所居，彗星犯之，是除宮也。是時，郭后已疏，至十七年十月，遂廢為中山太后也。）

According to the notes in the original text, according to Sima Biao's "Astronomical Records," in the first month of the fifteenth year of Emperor Guangwu of Han's Jianwu era, a comet appeared in the mansion of Hairy Head and gradually moved toward the northwest, entering the constellation of Camp Room and approaching the palace of Fire. In the third month of the same year, on the day of Yiwei, the comet reached the constellation of East Wall and then dispersed. The comet appeared for a total of forty-nine days. Comets are associated with military affairs and the removal of filth and corruption. The mansion of Hairy Head is associated with the military forces of the Hu people. By the eleventh month, the military governor of Dingshang Commandery, Yin Cheng, rebelled, and the governor quickly executed him. Lu Fang followed the Xiongnu into the pass and occupied Gao Liu. In the tenth month of the sixteenth year of Jianwu, Lu Fang surrendered, presenting the seals and credentials. Another account says that the mansion of Hairy Head is associated with judicial matters. At that time, the Grand Minister of the Imperial College, Ouyang She, was imprisoned for a crime and died in prison after a year. The palace of Fire is where the empresses reside; when a comet approaches it, it signifies the need to purge the palace. At that time, Empress Guo had already been set aside, and in the tenth month of the seventeenth year of Jianwu, she was finally demoted to the Dowager Empress of Zhongshan.

郗萌曰：“彗星出昴，色赤，邊有大兵謀反，天子有憂。”郗萌曰：“彗星出昴，赦。”

Xi Meng said: A comet appears in the Hairy Head mansion, with a red color, indicating that there will be a large number of troops rebelling in the border regions, and the emperor will have worries. Xi Meng also said: A comet appearing in the Hairy Head mansion indicates that the court will issue an amnesty decree.

《荊州占》曰：“彗孛犯畢，必有死丈夫數萬人。”甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯畢，邊兵寇，中國亡，近期一年，遠期五年。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯畢，邊軍大戰。”陳卓曰：“彗孛干犯畢，中原流血。”

Bixu is the fifth of the seven western White Tiger mansions, and together with Maosu, it corresponds to the region of Zhao and Ji Zhou. In the system of heavenly officials, it governs military affairs and hunting in border areas. The "Jingzhou Divination" states: if a comet or meteorite approaches Bixu, there will certainly be the death of tens of thousands of men. The Gan school says: if a comet or meteorite approaches Bixu, border areas will be attacked by bandits, and the central plains will be in peril, with the effect manifesting within a year or within five years. The "Jingzhou Divination" also says: if a comet approaches Bixu, there will be a major battle among the border troops. Chen Zhuo says: if a comet or meteorite approaches Bixu, there will be bloodshed in the central plains.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗星畢、觜之間，小而長，狀如直竿，上有星壘壘然，此星出，為兵戎，此鎮星之變見，不過一年，兵起宮中，女主有殃。”石氏曰：“彗星出畢，大兵起，馬貴。其星內指，邊兵勝；其星落地，兵破。”巫咸曰：“彗星出畢，突厥為寇，亂中國，邊兵戰，有流血，若有亡主、死將，期三年，遠五年。”

The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: A comet appears between the Net mansion and the Turtle Beak mansion, with a thin and long shape, like a straight pole, and layers of stars piled upon it. Such a star indicates military affairs, a change of the planet of stability, and the omen will be fulfilled within a year, with military calamity arising from the palace, and the female ruler suffering. The Shi school says: A comet appears in the Net mansion, indicating a great battle, and the price of horses becomes high; if its light points inward, the border armies will win; if the starlight falls to the ground, the army will be defeated. Wu Xian says: A comet appears in the Net mansion, indicating the Tujue invading, disturbing the Central Plains, border armies fighting, with bloodshed, or the sovereign's death and generals' deaths. The omen will be fulfilled within three years, at the furthest five years.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗孛守畢柄，侯邑益土，守畢口中，邦相為亂，邑易政，邑君、大臣當之。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出附耳，庶雄起，陪臣反。”司馬彪《天文志》曰：“孝獻建安五年十月辛亥，有星孛於大梁，冀州分也，時袁紹在冀州，其年十一月，紹軍為曹公所破，七年夏，紹死，後公遂取冀州。”

The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" states: If a comet remains in the handle of the Net mansion, it indicates that the feudal states will gain more land; if it remains in the mouth of the Net mansion, it indicates internal rebellion within the states, changes in the policies of the territories, and the territory rulers and ministers will suffer this calamity. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" also states: If a comet appears in the star of the Attendant Ear, it indicates the rise of local strongmen and rebellion by the subordinate officials. Sima Biao's "Chronicle of Celestial Phenomena" states: In the tenth month of the fifth year of Jian'an of the Han Shu Emperor, a comet appeared in the Big Beam star, which was the territory corresponding to the Ji state; at that time, Yuan Shao controlled the Ji state. In the eleventh month of that year, Yuan Shao's army was defeated by Cao Cao. In the summer of the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao died of illness, and later Cao Cao eventually took control of the Ji state.
