A comet or a strange star invades the constellation Zi.

石氏曰：“彗星干犯觜觽，國兵起，天下動擾，期一年，遠三年。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯觜觽，其國兵起，破亡。”甘氏曰：“彗星出觜觽，其國兵起，有失地、死王，天下民流，大臣出戰，下有亡國，期三年，遠五年。”石氏曰：“彗星出觜觽，谷大貴，大臣出戰，期七月。”

The Zi Xu is the same as the Zi mansion, being the sixth of the seven white tiger mansions in the west. Its corresponding region is the area of Wei and Yizhou. The Shi school says that if a comet appears in the Zi mansion, there will be wars within the country, chaos and disturbances throughout the world, and the effect will be verified within one year, at the furthest three years. The Jingzhou Divination says that if a comet appears in the Zi mansion, the country will have wars, leading to destruction and downfall. The Gan school says that if a comet appears in the Zi mansion, the country will have wars, with loss of territory and death of the king, the people will be displaced, ministers will go to war, and there will be the downfall of the country, and the effect will be verified within three years, at the furthest five years. The Shi school also says that if a comet appears in the Zi mansion, grain prices will rise sharply, and ministers will go to war, and the effect will be verified within seven months.

劉向《洪範傳》曰：“彗星見觜觽，必有破國、亂君，伏死其辜者。”（按《漢書天文志》曰：景帝中二年三月丁酉，彗星夜見西北，色白，長丈，在觜觽，旦去，益小，十五日不見。觜觽，梁也。是時，梁王恐懼，伏斧鉞謝罪，然後得免也。）

Liu Xiang's "Hong Fan Zhuan" says: A comet appearing in Zi and Zhi indicates that a country will be attacked, a ruler will be confused, and some people will die due to crimes. The original commentary notes: According to the "Han Shu · Tian Wen Zhi," in the second year of Zhongyuan of Emperor Jing of Han, in the third month, on the day Dingyou, a comet appeared at night in the northwest, white in color, one zhang long, located in Zi and Zhi; it disappeared at dawn, then became smaller, and after fifteen days it was no longer visible. Zi and Zhi correspond to the State of Liang. At that time, the King of Liang was afraid and knelt down under the axes and halberds to apologize, thus avoiding disaster.

石氏曰：“彗孛干犯參，其國邊兵大敗，其君亡，近期一年，遠期三年。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出參伐，天子更政。”甘氏曰：“彗星出參，大兵蔽地，大臣謀反，后有憂，天子躬甲斧鉞大用，兵馬馳道，弓弩恆張，期三年，遠五年。”

Shen Su is the last of the seven White Tiger mansions in the western direction, and together with Zi Su, it corresponds to the regions of Wei and Yizhou, governing matters of execution and military commanders. The Shi school says: if a comet or a meteorite attacks Shen Su, the country's border troops will suffer a great defeat, and the king will perish, which will be verified within a year, or up to three years. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: if a comet appears in the star of Fa within Shen Su, the emperor will change his policies. The Gan school says: if a comet appears in Shen Su, there will be a great military force spreading across the sky, ministers will plot rebellion, the empress will have worries, the emperor will personally wear armor and wield weapons, soldiers will gallop on the roads, and bows and arrows will be constantly drawn and not relaxed, which will be verified within three years, or up to five years.

（《漢書五行志》曰：元延三年，星孛及攝提、大角，從參至辰，並亡世嗣，王莽篡也。）《荊州占》曰：“彗出於參、東井之間，上柱煞，伐長吏。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星與熒惑並見於參，天子更政；一曰：天子受政。”石氏曰：“彗星見參伐，大國君不吉。”郗萌曰：“彗茀星流入參，若出參，其年兵起。”

The original commentary states: The "Book of Han, Five Phases Chapter" says that in the third year of Yuanyan of Emperor Cheng of Han, a comet invaded the constellation of Shètí and Dàjiǎo, extending from Cānsù to Dàchén, indicating the end of the imperial lineage. Later, the event of Wang Mang usurping the Han dynasty indeed occurred. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: If a comet appears between Cānsù and Dōngjǐng, it signifies the death of a high-ranking minister of the emperor, and local officials will be attacked. The "Yellow Emperor's Divination" says: If a comet and the red star appear together in Cānsù, the emperor will change his policies; another interpretation is that the emperor will receive the mandate of heaven. The Shi school says: If a comet appears in the star of Fá in Cānsù, the ruler of a great state will have an inauspicious omen. Xi Meng says: If a comet enters Cānsù or emerges from it, warfare will arise that same year.

（按班固《天文志》曰：元帝初元五年四月，彗星出西北，赤黃白色，長八尺，所後數日，長丈餘，東北指參分，後二年餘，西羌反，左將軍奉世擊平之。）

The original commentary states: According to Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records," in the fourth month of the first year of Huiyuan era of Emperor Yuan of Han, a comet appeared in the northwest, with a reddish-yellow and white color, measuring eight feet in length; after several days, it grew to more than ten feet, with its tail pointing toward the northeastern region of the Three Stars mansion. More than two years later, the Western Qiang rebels rose up, and General Left Feng Fushi led the troops to suppress them.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗孛干犯東井，大使出，野有兩軍相當，不出三年。”甘氏曰：“彗星干犯東井，其國兵起。”

The East Well is the same as the Well mansion, which is the first of the seven southern constellations of the Vermilion Bird. Its corresponding region is the state of Qin in the state of Yongzhou. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: if a comet or a meteorite approaches the East Well, it indicates that the court will send out major envoys and there will be military confrontations in the fields, and this will come to pass within three years. The Gan school says: if a comet approaches the East Well, the country will experience warfare.

（按車類《秦書》曰：符堅九年四月，有客星出尾、箕，長十餘丈，狀如彗而未曲，或名蚩尤旗，拂於東井，自夏及冬不滅。太史令張益、孟光奏彗起尾、箕，尾箕，燕分，而拂東井，東井，秦分。燕首兆，亂於秦，東胡鮮卑，歷世稱燕，今慕容煒父子兄弟亡處而不報，聖朝職爵，鱗次執權，乘勢馳輪躍馬，貴榮莫與為二，宜少抑退，除其渠帥，夫蝮蛇螫手，壯夫解腕，玄象告兆，事應無差，堅不納，後慕容氏遂稱王於燕地。）

The original commentary states: According to Che Pin's "Qin Book," in the ninth year of Fu Jian's reign, in April, a guest star appeared in the Tail and Winnowing Basket mansions, measuring more than ten feet in length, with a shape resembling a comet but with a curved end. Some called it the "Chiyu Flag." It swept over the Well mansion, and did not dissipate from summer to winter. The Grand Astronomer Zhang Yi and Meng Guang submitted a report stating: The comet originated from the Tail and Winnowing Basket mansions, which are the territories corresponding to the state of Yan. However, it swept over the Well mansion, which corresponds to the state of Qin. The omen first appeared in Yan, but the calamity would manifest in Qin. The Eastern Hu Xianbei have long claimed descent from Yan. Now, the Mu Dan Wei and his sons and brothers have fled to the state and have not shown gratitude. They hold many official positions in the court and wield great power. They ride in chariots and horses, enjoying supreme honor and prestige, which surpasses all others. Therefore, they should be slightly restrained, and their leader should be removed. When a venomous snake stings the hand, a brave warrior would amputate his wrist to save himself. The celestial omen has already been shown; the fulfillment of the omen will not be in error. Fu Jian did not adopt this advice, and later the Mu Dan clan indeed established their rule in Yan.

《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯東井，則大臣謀，其國用兵，期百八十日。”石氏曰：“彗星出東井，其國兵大起，車騎滿野，有軍大戰，將軍有死者，若大臣有誅，期三年，中六年，遠九年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: If a comet attacks the Well mansion, then ministers will have conspiracies in mind, and the country will mobilize its military forces, with the fulfillment occurring in 180 days. The Shi school says: If a comet appears in the Well mansion, the country will experience great military calamities, with chariots and horses filling the fields, large-scale battles breaking out, some generals dying in battle, or some ministers being executed, with the fulfillment occurring in three years, or six years in the middle, or up to nine years at the farthest.

郗萌占曰：“掃出東井，上莖煞漸漸長，上白下赤，狀如矛刃，此為兵災，乃太白之變。”陳卓曰：“彗星出東井，民人讒言，國政崩壞，天下大水。”陳卓曰：“彗在東井，大人死；見三十日，兵將當之；見五十日，相當之；時見七十日，主當之。”

Xi Meng's divination says: A sweeping star appears in the Well mansion, with a stem-like glow gradually extending upwards, the upper part turning white and the lower part turning red, resembling the tip of a spear or a blade, indicating military calamity, a phenomenon manifested by Tai Bai. Chen Zhuo says: A comet appears in the Well mansion, causing slander among the people, leading to the collapse of state affairs and great floods across the land. Chen Zhuo also says: When a comet remains in the Well mansion, a prominent person of high status dies; if it appears for thirty days, it is taken up by a general; if for fifty days, by a prime minister; and if for seventy days, by the sovereign.

石氏曰：“彗孛干犯輿鬼，大兵橫行，近期一年，遠三年；天子小赦除咎。”石氏曰：“彗星出輿鬼，國有大兵，戰死於野，骸骨滿坑，人民疾病，死者縱橫，期不出三年；王者以赦除咎，則災消矣。”

Yugui is the same as Guixu, being the second of the Seven Stars of the Southern Bird, and together with Dongjing, it belongs to the region of Qin and Yongzhou. In the system of heavenly officials, it governs rituals and funerals. The Shi school says that a comet or a meteor striking Yugui indicates a great military campaign, and the effect will be seen within a year or up to three years. The Son of Heaven issuing a minor amnesty can eliminate misfortune. The Shi school also says that a comet appearing in Yugui indicates a great battle within the country, soldiers dying in the fields, bones piling up in the valleys, people getting sick, and many deaths occurring in disorder. The effect will not be seen within three years. The king can eliminate misfortune by issuing an amnesty, and the disaster can be averted.

石氏曰：“彗星出輿鬼，名曰喪樓，皆以赦解，應之。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星出輿鬼，有喪。”陳卓曰：“彗星出輿鬼，人民疾病，死者半，棺木貴。”

The Shi school says: When a comet appears in the Ghost Mansion, this is called "Sang Lou," and it must be resolved by an amnesty decree to be dealt with. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When a comet appears in the Ghost Mansion, there will be mourning events. Chen Zhuo says: When a comet appears in the Ghost Mansion, the people get sick, half of them die, and the price of coffins becomes expensive.

甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯柳，國誅大臣，兵喪併發，外臣凌主，天下傾危，期三年。”（按班固《天文志》曰：孝武建元三年三月，有星孛於注、張，歷太微，干紫宮，至於天潢。其後，濟東膠西江都王皆坐法，削黜，自殺，淮南衡山謀反而誅之。）

Willow Mansion is the third of the Seven Southern Birds, also known as "Zhòu," which represents the beak of the Vermilion Bird. Its corresponding region is the area of Zhou and the three rivers. The Gan school states that if a comet or a strange star invades the area of Willow Mansion, the country will see the execution of ministers, wars and funerals occurring simultaneously, and ministers will insult the sovereign, leading to the danger of the world. This prediction is fulfilled within three years. The original book's note states that according to Ban Gu's "Astronomical Records," in the third year of Emperor Wu of Han's Jianyuan era, a comet appeared in the area of Willow Mansion and Zhang Mansion, passing through the Taimei Enclosure, invading the Purple Palace, and continuing up to the Tianhuang star. After that, the Prince of Jidong, the Duke of Jiaoxi, and the Duke of Jiangdu were all punished for breaking the law, losing their titles, and committing suicide. The Prince of Huainan and the Duke of Hengshan plotted rebellion and were executed.

《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯柳，周國當之，期九十日。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出張、注之間，狀如吹之火且燃，此星出，有兵災，此熒惑之變見，一過一年，兵起國亡。”巫咸曰：“彗星出柳，國誅大臣，兵喪並起，強臣凌主，天下傾危，其國大旱，民以飢死，期三年，遠五年。”

The *Jingzhou Divination* says: A comet conflicting with the Willow Mansion indicates that the disaster will be borne by the Zhou region, and the verification period is ninety days. The *Yellow Emperor's Divination* says: If a comet appears between the Extended Net Mansion and the Willow Mansion, shaped like a flame being blown, this star indicates military disaster, a phenomenon caused by the change of the planet Mars. The disaster will occur within a year, with military troubles arising and the country falling. Wu Xian says: If a comet appears in the Willow Mansion, the country will execute its ministers, military disaster and mourning will occur simultaneously, powerful ministers will oppress the ruler, the world will be in peril, the country will suffer a great drought, and the people will die of starvation. The verification period is three years, at the furthest five years.

陳卓曰：“彗星出柳，有兵，臣凌主，大旱，穀貴。”《詩緯含神霧》曰：“彗星守咮，南夷將為亂。”（按司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝明永平八年六月壬午，長星出柳、張三十七度，犯軒轅，刺天船、大陵，微氣至上階，凡五十六日去。柳，周也。是歲，受雨水郡十四，傷稼。）

Chen Zhuo said: A comet appearing in the Willow Mansion indicates military affairs, ministers oppressing the sovereign, a great drought, and high grain prices. The "Poetic Writings of the Heavenly Mandate" says: A comet remaining in the Extended Net Mansion indicates that the southern barbarians will cause disturbances. The original book's note states: According to司马彪's "Chronicle of Astronomy," in the sixth month of the eighth year of Emperor Ming of the Han dynasty, on the day of Renwu, a long star appeared between the Willow Mansion and the Extended Net Mansion, spanning thirty-seven degrees, and approached the轩辕, pointing towards the Tianchuan and Daling stars, with faint light extending to the Upper Step stars. It remained visible for fifty-six days before disappearing. The Willow Mansion corresponds to the Zhou region. In that year, fourteen prefectures suffered from floods causing disasters, and crops were damaged.

甘氏曰：“彗星干犯七星，邦有亂臣，國主不定，兵起宮殿，貴臣戮，大臣相疑，近期七十日，遠期百八十日。”《荊州占》曰：“彗星干犯七星，其國有大兵，不出百八十日。”《河圖》曰：“彗孛出七星，天子與聖葉，期三年，聖人出。”

The Seven Stars are part of the Star Mansion, the fourth among the seven mansions of the Southern Bird, representing the neck of the Southern Bird. Its corresponding region is the same as the Willow Mansion, both belonging to the Zhou territory. The Gan school says: if a comet attacks the Seven Stars, the state will have a treacherous minister, the ruler's position will be unstable, military disaster will arise within the palace, a high-ranking official will be killed, and senior ministers will suspect each other. This will be verified within seventy days, or up to one hundred and eighty days. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: if a comet attacks the Seven Stars, the country will experience a great battle, which will be verified within one hundred and eighty days. The "Yellow River Chart" says: if a comet or a bright star appears in the Seven Stars, it indicates harmony between the Son of Heaven and a sage, with verification occurring within three years, and a sage will emerge.

甘氏曰：“彗星出七星，國有叛臣，人主不安，兵起宮中，大臣戮死，貴人當誅，若有水災，民飢，期不出三年，遠三年。”

The Gan school says: When a comet appears among the Seven Stars, there will be a traitorous minister within the country, the ruler will not rest in peace, military strife will arise from the palace, senior ministers will be executed, the nobleman will be put to death, or there will be floods and famine among the people. These events will be verified within three years, at the furthest three years.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：魏齊王正始六年八月戊午，彗星見七星，長二丈，色白，進至張，積二十三日滅。七年十月癸亥，又見軫，長一丈，積一百五十六日滅。九年二月，又見昴，長六尺，色青白，芒西南指，七月又見翼，長三尺，進至軫，積四十二日滅。嘉平元年，司馬懿誅曹爽兄弟及其黨與，皆夷三族，京師嚴兵，實始剪魏。三年，誅楚王彪，又襲王陵於淮南。淮南，東楚也。幽魏諸王於鄴。）

The original commentary notes: According to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the sixth year of Zhengshi during the reign of Wei's Prince Zhi, in the eighth lunar month, on the fifth day of Wuwu, a comet appeared in the Seven Stars, measuring two zhang in length, white in color, and moved forward to the mansion of Zhang, lasting for twenty-three days before dissipating. In the tenth lunar month of the seventh year of Zhengshi, on the tenth day of Guihai, it appeared again in the mansion of Zhen, measuring one zhang in length, lasting for one hundred and fifty-six days before dissipating. In the second lunar month of the ninth year of Zhengshi, it appeared again in the mansion of Maoshou, measuring six chi in length, with a bluish-white color and a tail pointing to the southwest; in the seventh lunar month, it appeared again in the mansion of Yisou, measuring three chi in length, moving forward to the mansion of Zhen, lasting for forty-two days before dissipating. In the first year of Jiaping, Sima Yi executed Cao Cao's brothers and their associates, and all were exterminated along with their three families, with the capital city placing the military in a state of alert, in fact marking the beginning of the elimination of the Cao Wei regime. In the third year of Jiaping, he executed Prince Chu Cao Biao, and also launched an attack on Wang Ling in the region of Huainan—Huainan refers to the eastern part of Chu; afterwards, the princes of the state of Wei were all imprisoned in Yecheng.

郗萌曰：“掃星出七星、張之間，狀如布，從風如靡，此星為兵戎，熒惑之變也。”郗萌曰：“彗星出七星、張之間，狀如欻之火且燃，為兵，熒惑之變也。”

Xi Meng said: A star called Saoxing appears between the Seven Stars and Zhang Xu mansion, its shape resembling a piece of cloth fluttering in the wind. Such a star indicates military affairs, being an omen caused by the change of Yinghuo. Xi Meng also said: A comet appears between the Seven Stars and Zhang Xu mansion, its shape resembling a sudden flame that is about to blaze up. This also indicates military affairs, being another omen caused by the change of Yinghuo.

甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯張，其國外內用兵，王徙宮，天下半亡。”石氏曰：“彗星出張，天下大亂，有兵，王者徙宮殿，天下半亡，人民惶惶，無有聊生；見五十日，期三年；七十日，期五年；百日，期七年；百五十日，期九年；必發。”

Zhang Xu is the fifth of the Seven Southern Birds mansions, representing the crop of the bird, with its corresponding region being the Zhou territory and the three rivers. The Gan school says: if a comet or a meteorite invades Zhang Xu, the country will have military actions both internally and externally, the king will move his palace, and half the world will suffer losses. The Shi school says: if a comet appears in Zhang Xu, there will be great chaos throughout the world, military conflicts, the king will move his palace, half the world will suffer losses, the people will be frightened and unable to live in peace. If it lasts fifty days, the effect will appear in three years; if seventy days, in five years; if a hundred days, in seven years; if one hundred and fifty days, in nine years, it will definitely occur.

（按司馬彪《天文志》曰：王莽地皇三年十一月，有星孛於張，東南行，五日不見。後一年正月，光武起兵春陵，會下鄉，新市賊張卬、王常及更始兵亦至，俱攻破南陽，斬莽前隊大夫甄阜、屬正樑丘賜等，煞其士眾數萬人，更始立為天子，至河南都洛陽，西入長安，敗死，光武興於河北，復都洛陽。）

The original commentary notes: According to Sima Biao's "Astronomical Records," in the third year of Wang Mang's reign during the reign of the Emperor, in November, a comet appeared in the mansion of Zhang Xu, moving toward the southeast, and disappeared after five days. A year later, in the first lunar month, Emperor Guangwu raised an army at Chongling, joined forces with the forces from Xiajiang, and the troops from Xinshi led by Zhang Ang and Wang Chang, as well as the forces of Gengshi, arrived together, attacking and capturing Nanyang, killing Wang Mang's commander Jiren Fu and his subordinate Zheng Liangqiu Ci, and defeating tens of thousands of his soldiers. Gengshi was proclaimed emperor, established his capital in Henan at Luoyang, moved westward to Chang'an, but eventually failed in battle and died. Meanwhile, Guangwu rose to power in Hebei, and later re-established his capital in Luoyang.

陳卓曰：“彗星出張，大旱，谷石三千，粟尤甚。”《宋天文志》曰：“魏明帝景初二年八月，彗孛星見張，長三尺，逆西行，三十一日滅。占曰：為兵喪。張，周分野，洛邑惡之。其十月，斬公孫淵。明年正月，明帝崩。晉武帝太康二年八月，有星又孛於張，四年三月戊申，孛於西南，四年三月癸壬，齊王攸薨，四月戊寅，任城王陵薨，五月己亥，琅琊王佃薨，十一月戊午，新都王該薨。”

Chen Zhuo said: A comet appearing in Zhang Xu mansion indicates a great drought, with grain priced at three thousand coins per stone, and millet prices rising particularly sharply. The "Song Shu · Tianwen Zhi" says: In the second year of Jingchou during the reign of Wei Mingdi, in August, a comet appeared in Zhang Xu mansion, extending three feet in length, moving westwardretrograde, and disappeared after thirty-one days. The divination text says it indicates military calamity and funerals; Zhang Xu is the territory of the Zhou dynasty, and Luoyi will be affected. In that same October, Gongsun Yuan was executed; in the next year's January, Mingdi died. In the second year of Taikang during the reign of Jin Wudi, in August, there was again a comet in Zhang Xu mansion; in March of the fourth year of Taikang, on theWushen day, a comet appeared in the southwest. On the癸壬 day of March in the fourth year, Prince Sima You died; on theWuyin day of April, Prince Rencheng died; on theJihai day of May, Prince Langya died; on theWuwu day of November, Prince Xindu died.

《黃帝占》曰：“彗星干翼，國用兵，大臣有憂，遠期百八十日。”甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯翼，其國有大兵，芒所指降伏，近期三年，遠期七年。”《孝經鉤命決》曰：“天子失禮，則孛於翼。”《黃帝占》曰：“彗星出翼、軫之間，天下皆謀上，國有大喪，人主死亡，必有大兵，期不出三年。”

The Wing Mansion is the sixth of the seven southern birds' mansions, representing the wings of the bird, and its corresponding region is the state of Chu and the Jiangzhong region. The Yellow Emperor's Divination says: if a comet attacks the Wing Mansion, the country will mobilize troops, ministers will suffer misfortune, and the effect will be seen within 180 days. The Gan school says: if a comet or a long-tailed star attacks the Wing Mansion, the country will experience a great war, and the area pointed to by the star's light will be subdued. The effect will be seen within three years if it is near, and within seven years if it is far. The "Xiaojing Goumingjue" says: if the Son of Heaven loses propriety, a long-tailed star will appear in the Wing Mansion. The Yellow Emperor's Divination also says: if a comet appears between the Wing and Chariot Mansions, all people in the country will plot against the sovereign, there will be a great mourning, the sovereign will die, and a great war will certainly occur, and the effect will be seen within three years.

《春秋運斗樞》曰：“孛掃出翼、軫之間，天下有勢皆謀。”石氏曰：“彗星出翼，其國有喪，以水為飢，民多流亡，視芒所指，必有降伏，期三年，遠六年。”

The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Movement of the Stars says: If the comet star and the sweeping star appear between the Wings mansion and the Chariot mansion, all those in power throughout the world will have sinister intentions. The Shi school says: If the comet appears in the Wings mansion, that country will suffer calamity, with floods causing famine and many people fleeing. Observe the direction of the star's芒, for that direction will surely have someone subdued, and the fulfillment will be within three years, at the furthest six years.

（按《宋書天文志》曰：魏明帝太和六年十一月丙寅，有星孛於翼，近太微上將星。明年，孫權有遼東之敗，權又自向合肥新城，遣全琮攻六安，皆不克而去。又明年，諸葛亮入秦川，據渭南，司馬懿距之，孫權遣步陳諸葛瑾等臨江夏江口，孫韶張承等向廣陵淮陰，權以大眾圍新城，以應亮，於是帝自東征，權及諸將乃退。太和六年十二月，陳王桓薨，青龍元年夏，北海王甦薨，三年正月，太后郭氏崩也。）

According to the annotations in the original text, according to the "Celestial Officials" section of the "Book of Song," in the sixth year of the reign of Wei Mingdi, the eleventh month, on the day Bingyin, a comet appeared in the Wings mansion, near the Upper General star of the Taiwei constellation. The following year, Sun Quan suffered a defeat in the eastern region of Liao Dong; Sun Quan then personally attacked the new city of He Fei, and sent Quan Cong to attack Liu'an, but failed to capture the cities and withdrew. In the following year, Zhuge Liang advanced into the Qin Valley, occupied Wei Nan, and Sima Yi led his troops to resist; Sun Quan sent Bu Zhi and Zhuge Jin, among others, to approach Jiangxia Jiangkou, while Sun Shao and Zhang Cheng, among others, advanced towards Guangling and Huayin. Sun Quan led his large army to encircle the new city of He Fei to support Zhuge Liang. Thus, the emperor personally went east to campaign, and Sun Quan and his generals then withdrew. In the twelfth month of the sixth year of Tahe, the Prince Chen died (the original text records it as "Prince Chen Huan"). In the summer of the first year of Qinglong, the Prince of Beihai died (the original text records it as "Prince of Beihai Su"). In the first month of the third year of Qinglong, the Empress Dowager Guo died.

郗萌曰：“彗茀出翼、軫之間，狀如布，從風而靡，為兵災，熒惑之變也。”石氏曰：“彗星守翼，大臣謀反，五穀貴。”

Xi Meng said: A comet and a shooting star appear between the Wings mansion and the Chariot mansion, forming the shape of a piece of cloth, fluttering with the wind, indicating military calamity, an omen caused by the change of the planet Mars. The Shi school said: The comet stays in the Wings mansion, indicating ministers plotting rebellion, and grain prices will become expensive.

甘氏曰：“彗孛干犯軫，兵喪並起，期百八十日，遠一年。”（按《宋書天文志》曰：晉武帝太始四年正月丙戌，彗星見軫，青白色，二月，皇大后王氏崩，十月，吳將施續寇江夏，或寇襄陽，後將軍田章、荊州刺史胡烈等破卻之。司馬彪《天文志》曰：孝獻建安十二年十月辛矛，有星孛於鶉首，荊州分野，時荊州牧劉表專據荊州，益州從事周群以為荊州牧將死而失主。明年秋，表卒，子琮自代，曹公將攻荊州，琮懼，舉軍詣公降也。）

The Chariot mansion is the last of the seven mansions of the Southern Bird, representing the tail of the bird. Its corresponding region is the same as that of the Wings mansion, both belonging to the territory of Chu and Jingzhou. The Gan school says that if a comet or a strange star invades the Chariot mansion, wars and funerals will occur simultaneously, and the verification period is one hundred and eighty days, at the furthest one year. The original book's note states: According to the "Astronomical Records" of the "Book of the Later Han," in the first month of the fourth year of Tai Shi during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin, a comet appeared in the Chariot mansion, with a blue-white color; in the second month, the Empress Dowager Wang died; in the tenth month, the general Shi Ji of Wu attacked Jiangxia, and another force attacked Xiangyang. Later General Tian Zhang and the governor of Jingzhou Hu Lie defeated them. The "Astronomical Records" by Sima Biao says: In the tenth month of the twelfth year of Jian An during the reign of Emperor Xian of Han, a strange star appeared in Chouniu, which was the region corresponding to Jingzhou (according to old theories, Chouniu belonged to Qin, but this text assigns it to Jingzhou). At that time, Liu Biao alone controlled Jingzhou. Zhou Qun, an official of Yizhou, believed that the governor of Jingzhou would die and Jingzhou would lose its ruler. The following autumn, Liu Biao died, and his son Liu Cong took over. Soon after, Cao Cao was about to attack Jingzhou, and Liu Cong, fearing for his life, led his entire army to surrender to Cao Cao.

巫咸曰：“彗星出軫，天子崩，兵喪並起，滿宮門，車馬無主，民無定君，期三年，中五年，遠九年，王者以赦除咎，則消矣。”

Wu Xian said: A comet appears in the Chariot mansion, the Son of Heaven dies, and military calamities and mourning events arise together, filling the palace gates. Carriages and horses lose their masters, and the people have no established ruler. This will be fulfilled in three years, lasting five years in the middle, and up to nine years in the farthest case. When the king issues an amnesty decree to eliminate misfortunes, the calamity will dissipate.

石氏曰：“彗星出攝提，天下亂，帝自將兵於野，兵起宮中，王者有憂，期不出二年。”郗萌曰：“彗星出攝提，主迷惑，群下爭起。”

The constellation摄提 belongs to the Shi school and is part of the Middle Officials group, consisting of six stars arranged on either side of the Big Angle star. It governs the establishment of seasons and the correction of the calendar, symbolizing important ministers who assist the sovereign. The Shi school says: if a comet appears in摄提, there will be chaos throughout the country, the emperor will personally lead his troops to fight in the fields, and military disasters will originate from the palace, causing the sovereign to face troubles, with the prophecy coming true within two years. Xi Meng says: if a comet appears in摄提, it indicates the sovereign is confused and unclear, and the ministers and subordinates will rise up in rebellion.

齊伯曰：“彗孛出大角傍，可六七丈，天下大亂，兵大起，國易政，期三年，中五年，遠七年。”（按《洪範五行傳》曰：秦始皇帝三十七年五月，彗星出於大角，其長七尺，以東北入於女御，有一大星與星斗於宮中。三月五月，彗星盡，大星乃亡，始皇以六月乙壬死於沙丘，及西南行至咸陽，乃禍諸子女，官及九卿皆死以兵，天下大亂，起而攻，秦遂亡。又曰：五月，彗星出於鶉首，十五餘日，漢三年十月，有彗星出於大角，旬餘乃入，是時項籍為楚王霸主，諸侯天下歸心於漢，楚將滅，故彗除位也。）

The Big Dipper is a large star located between the two stars of the Heavenly Steward, serving as the seat of the Heavenly Emperor, symbolizing the authority of the sovereign. Qi Bo said: when a comet appears near the Big Dipper, extending about six or seven zhang in length, great chaos will occur throughout the land, large-scale wars will break out, and the state will change its policies. The fulfillment of this omen will take three years, with the central period lasting five years, and the farthest period seven years. The original commentary notes: According to the "Hongfan Wuxing Zhuan," in the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, in May, a comet appeared near the Big Dipper, measuring seven chi in length, moving toward the Northeast into the Female Palace star. Another large star fought with it within the palace. By the time of March and May, the comet disappeared completely, and that large star also vanished. Qin Shi Huang died on the sixth month's Jia Wei day at Shaoqiu, and his coffin was carried southwest to Xianyang, after which calamity spread to his children and officials, with ministers and nine ministers dying by the sword. Chaos ensued, and heroes rose up to attack the Qin dynasty, leading to its downfall. It also says: in May, a comet appeared in the鹑首 (Chen Tou) constellation, lasting over fifteen days. In the tenth month of the third year of the Han dynasty, a comet appeared near the Big Dipper, disappearing after more than ten days. At that time, Xiang Ji was the King of Chu and dominated the feudal lords, yet the hearts of the feudal lords were turning toward the Han dynasty, and the Chu state was about to perish, so the comet was there to sweep away his position.

郗萌曰：“彗星出入角，可七八丈，天下更政。”《鉤命決》曰：“天子失仁，則彗守大角。”黃帝曰：“彗星犯守大角，大兵起，國不安，天子失御，有亡國，更政令。”《洛書說微示》曰：“彗星貫，坐亂起。”荊州曰：“彗星孛大角，人主亡。”

Xi Meng said: A comet appears entering and exiting near the Big Dipper, about seven or eight zhang long, indicating a change of government throughout the land. The "Gou Ming Jue" states: When the Son of Heaven loses benevolence, the comet remains near the Big Dipper. The Yellow Emperor said: When a comet attacks and remains near the Big Dipper, a great battle occurs, the country becomes unstable, the Son of Heaven loses his authority, and the state may perish, with changes in government. The "Luoshu Shuwei" states: When a comet crosses the Big Dipper, disorder will arise at the position of the imperial throne. The "Jingzhou Zhan" states: When a comet appears near the Big Dipper, the ruler will die.

《海中占》曰：“彗孛干犯梗河，天子慎邊防亂中國。”陳卓曰：“彗孛干犯梗河，北兵為敗。”巫咸曰：“彗星出梗河，四夷兵為敗，中國有邊患，若守之，王者誅四夷，期三年。”

The star cluster Genghe consists of three stars, located north of the Big Dipper's handle. It presages military actions by the Hu people and defense matters on the borders. The book "Sea Divination" states: if a comet or meteorite approaches Genghe, the emperor should be cautious about border defenses and beware of external disturbances affecting the Central Plains. Chen Zhuo says: if a comet or meteorite approaches Genghe, the northern army will suffer defeat. Wu Xian says: if a comet appears in Genghe, the armies of the four barbarian tribes will suffer defeat, and the Central Plains will face border troubles; if the comet remains stationed there, the king will lead an expedition against the four barbarians, and this prediction will be fulfilled within three years.

陳卓曰：“彗孛干犯招搖，邊兵大動，期一年。”石氏曰：“彗星出招搖，突厥入寇，守之勝。”黃帝曰：“攻胡，星孛招搖。”（《天官書》曰：漢兵伐大宛，星孛招搖也。）石氏曰：“彗星守招搖，犯北主，期出三年。”班固《天文志》曰：“漢孝武太初中，星孛於招搖，其後漢兵擊大宛，斬其王。”

The star Zhaoyao appears north of Genghe, indicating matters related to the Hu people and military campaigns. Chen Zhuo said: when a comet or a meteorite conflicts with Zhaoyao, there will be a large-scale military mobilization on the border, and the verification period is one year. The Shi school said: if a comet appears at Zhaoyao, the Jutu will invade; if the star remains stationed at Zhaoyao, our side will win. The Yellow Emperor said: the sign of attacking the Hu people is when a comet appears at Zhaoyao. The original book's note: The "Book of Celestial Officials" says that before the Han army attacked Dayuan, a comet appeared at Zhaoyao. The Shi school said: if a comet remains at Zhaoyao, it is an attack on the northern ruler, and the verification period is within three years. Ban Gu's "Book of Celestial Phenomena" says: during Emperor Wu of Han's Taichu era, a comet appeared at Zhaoyao, and later the Han army attacked Dayuan, killing the king of Dayuan.

陳卓曰：“彗孛干犯玄戈，主戰，單于大敗，期二年。”《玉曆》曰：“彗星出玄戈，北方兵起，單于大敗，其國破亡，期一年，遠三年。”

The comet appears in the north of Xuan Ge, indicating military affairs and warfare in the northern direction. Chen Zhuo said: If a comet or a meteorite conflicts with Xuan Ge, there will be warfare, and the Xun Yu will suffer a great defeat, which will be verified in two years. The "Jade Calendar" states: If a comet appears in Xuan Ge, warfare will arise in the north, the Xun Yu will suffer a great defeat, and his country will be destroyed, which will be verified in one year, at the furthest three years.

甘氏曰：“彗星出天槍，王者備四夷，防捍邊境，若有驚恐，人民憂。”陳卓曰：“彗星守天槍，鈇鉞大用，誅殺不當，多梟首之民。”

The Heavenly Sword and its three stars are located at the end of the handle of the Big Dipper, representing the celestial weapon of the sovereign. The Gan school says that if a comet appears in the Heavenly Sword, the king should be cautious of threats from the four directions and strengthen the defense along the borders; once there is alarm in the border regions, the common people will also become fearful. Chen Zhuo says that if a comet remains in the Heavenly Sword, there will be extensive use of axes and halberds, wrongful executions will occur, and many civilians will be beheaded and displayed as a warning.

《聖洽符》曰：“彗星出天棓，兵大起，五仗用，國有憂，期二年。”陳卓曰：“彗星守天棓，兵四起。”

The Heavenly Stem is called Tianbang, along with the five planets, located north of the Female Bed, representing another celestial symbol of the emperor's weapons. The "Shengqia Fufu" states: when a comet appears in Tianbang, a large-scale war will break out, all five types of weapons will be used, and the country will face calamity, with the prophecy coming true within two years. Chen Zhuo says: when a comet remains in Tianbang, wars will break out in all directions.

石氏曰：“彗孛干犯女床，貴人暴誅，期百八十日。”齊伯曰：“彗星犯女床，貴人有憂，若有暴誅者；一曰：貴女有罪者，期百八十日，遠一年。”

The female bed is accompanied by three stars, located east of the Ji star, governing the concubines and female attendants in the harem. The Shi school says: if a comet or shooting star attacks the female bed, a nobleman will be suddenly executed, and the verification period is one hundred and eighty days. Qi Bo says: if a comet attacks the female bed, a nobleman will have worries, or someone will be suddenly executed; another view is that a woman of high status will be guilty of a crime, and the verification period is one hundred and eighty days, up to a maximum of one year.

《甄曜度》曰：“彗星出七公，忠言者凶，議人下獄，政令不行，王者信讒，邪臣在側，其國憂敗。”

Seven Public Stars, the Seven Stars, are located west of the Chain, symbolizing the positions of the Three Grand Ministers of the Son of Heaven. They preside over discussions of state affairs. The "Zhen Ya Du" states: if a comet appears among the Seven Public Stars, those who speak earnestly to the sovereign will meet misfortune, those who participate in deliberating state affairs will be imprisoned, the state's decrees will not be implemented, the sovereign will believe in slander, wicked ministers will stand by the side, and the country will suffer calamity and eventually perish.

《春秋緯》曰：“彗星出貫索，大臣憂有反者。”《海中占》曰：“彗星出貫索，必有反臣殺君，若有大赦，期百日，遠一年。”《孝經內記》曰：“彗星在天獄，諸侯作禍。”

The constellation known as Guansuo is also called Tianyu, consisting of nine stars arranged in a chain-like formation, resembling a ring. It presages matters related to criminal punishment and imprisonment. The "Chunqiu Wei" states: when a comet appears in Guansuo, senior ministers will be anxious and fearful, and some among them may rebel. The "Hai Zhong Zhan" says: when a comet appears in Guansuo, there will certainly be a traitorous minister who kills the sovereign, or the court will issue a great amnesty. This will come to pass within a hundred days, or at the furthest, within a year. The "Xiaojing Neji" states: when a comet stops in Tianyu, the feudal lords will incite chaos.

郗萌曰：“彗星出攝提，主迷惑，群下爭起。”

Xi Meng said: A comet appearing at "She Ti" indicates that the sovereign is confused and unable to discern right from wrong, leading the ministers and officials below to vie for power and start conflicts. The She Ti six stars are positioned on either side of the Big Dipper, originally serving as celestial officials to establish the seasons and regulate the directions. Now disturbed by the comet, this portends disorder in the court's governance and strife between superiors and subordinates.

齊伯曰：“彗孛出大角傍，可六七丈，天下大亂，兵大起，國易政，期三年，中五年，遠七年。”（按《洪範五行傳》曰：秦始皇帝三十七年五月，彗星出於大角，其長七尺，以東北入於女御，有一大星與星斗於宮中。三月五月，彗星盡，大星乃亡，始皇以六月乙壬死於沙丘，及西南行至咸陽，乃禍諸子女，官及九卿皆死以兵，天下大亂，起而攻，秦遂亡。又曰：五月，彗星出於鶉首，十五餘日，漢三年十月，有彗星出於大角，旬餘乃入，是時項籍為楚王霸主，諸侯天下歸心於漢，楚將滅，故彗除位也。）

Qi Bo said: A comet or a孛star appears near the Big Dipper's handle, stretching six or seven zhang in length, indicating great chaos will occur throughout the land, with military disasters breaking out, and the state will change its policies. The effects will be realized within three years, in the middle case within five years, and in the far case within seven years. The Big Dipper's handle is the seat of the heavenly king, so when comets or孛stars invade it, their direction indicates the ruler. (The following is a note from the original text: The "Hongan Fan Wu Xing Zhuan" records that in the 37th year of Qin Shihuang's reign, in May, a comet appeared near the Big Dipper's handle, stretching seven chi in length, moving toward the northeast into the "Nuyu" star. Another large star appeared in the palace and fought with it. By the time of March and May, the comet disappeared completely, and then that large star also vanished. Qin Shihuang died on the sixth month's day of Jiwei in Shaqiu, and his coffin was carried southwest to Xianyang. Subsequently, chaos spread to the various princes and princesses, and officials and the nine ministers died by the sword. The land was in great disorder, and armies rose up against the Qin, leading to the fall of the Qin dynasty. It also records that in May, a comet appeared in the "Chunshou" section, lasting for more than ten days. In the third year of Han Wang's reign, in October, a comet appeared near the Big Dipper's handle, disappearing after several days. At that time, Xiang Ji was the King of Chu and dominated the feudal lords, yet the various feudal lords and the hearts of the people all turned to the Han dynasty, and the state of Chu was about to fall, so this comet was sent to clear his throne.)

郗萌曰：“彗星出入角，可七八丈，天下更政。”《鉤命決》曰：“天子失仁，則彗守大角。”黃帝曰：“彗星犯守大角，大兵起，國不安，天子失御，有亡國，更政令。”《洛書說微示》曰：“彗星貫，坐亂起。”荊州曰：“彗星孛大角，人主亡。”

Xi Meng said: A comet appears and disappears between the Horn mansion, reaching a length of seven or eight zhang, indicating that the government will change its policies. The "Hooking the Mandate Decree" says: When the Son of Heaven loses benevolence, the comet will remain in the Big Horn. The Yellow Emperor said: When a comet invades and stays in the Big Horn, great wars will arise, the country will not be at peace, the Son of Heaven will lose control over the world, and there will be a national calamity, leading to changes in the government. The "Luo Book Sayings" states: When a comet passes through the Big Horn, disorder will arise at the place where the emperor sits. The "Jingzhou Divination" says: When a comet with a strange aura attacks the Big Horn, the ruler will die.
