The origin of the constellation:
In ancient times, in order to identify the direction and facilitate the observation of the sky, the stars scattered in the sky were connected by imagination, and half of them were named in ancient times, and their naming methods were attached according to the myths and shapes of ancient civilizations. The other half was named only in modern times, often named after navigation instruments.
In ancient times, because of different regions, the way of "Lianliankan" was different! 2 1 century, the world unified the constellation map and divided the sky into 88 regions and 88 constellations.
Ancient western philosophers believed that the four elements that constitute natural objects and derive everything are water, fire, earth and wind.
The movement of the earth along the ecliptic is actually the flow and change of the four elements, so the zodiac 12 can also be divided into water signs, such as cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Fire signs, such as Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; Earth signs, such as Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo; Air signs, such as Libra, Aquarius and Gemini.
Water symbolizes spring and emphasizes emotion; Fire constellation symbolizes summer, emphasizing behavior; The earth sign symbolizes autumn and represents pragmatism and stability; The weather vane symbolizes winter, emphasizing wisdom and communication; Earth, water, fire and wind represent the images of the four seasons.
Extended data:
When the earth rotates, the sun can be seen from the earth. The sun moves slowly on the celestial sphere and among the stars, and the direction of movement is the same as that of the earth's revolution, that is, from west to east, it also moves in a big circle every year, which is called solar annual apparent movement.
The path of the sun's annual apparent motion on the celestial sphere is the ecliptic. In other words: the earth's orbital plane expands infinitely, and the great circle intersecting the celestial sphere is the ecliptic.
The ecliptic passes through 13 in 88 constellations. Except for a small number of Ophiuchus, they are Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius, which are collectively called the zodiac signs.
The names of the zodiac have indeed undergone many changes, many of which are related to myths, and most of them are named after animals.
