The significance of "Chen" in astronomy
I. Time unit
Chen is one of the ancient units in China, with an hour equivalent to two hours now. In the ancient timing system, a day was divided into twelve hours, starting from the time of day, and every two hours were regarded as one hour. This timing method has been used in the history of China until modern times.
Second, the position of the sun.
Chen Ye is used to indicate the position of the sun. In ancient astronomy in China, the sun was regarded as the center of the sky, while other stars revolved around the sun. Chenshi is the time when the sun rises, so Chenshi is also regarded as the beginning of a day.
Third, the stars
In the ancient star official system in China, Chen was also used to represent some stars. For example, Chen Xing was the name of Venus in ancient China, because Venus' position in the sky changed rapidly and often appeared near the sun. China called it "Chen Da" in ancient times, so Venus was also called "Chen Xing".
Fourth, the order of the universe.
In China's ancient cosmology, Chen was also considered as a part of the cosmic order. According to this view, the universe consists of five elements, namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These elements influence and restrict each other, forming a dynamic balance of the universe. On the other hand, Chen is regarded as the "earth" in the five elements, representing the power, stability and balance of the central government.
