In ancient poetry, Venus is called "Taibai" or "Taibai Venus", also called "Qiming" or "Chang Geng".
Our country has already begun to observe Venus in ancient times. At that time, Venus was called "Taibai" or "Taibai Venus". Because the orbit of Venus is within the orbit of the earth, Venus is sometimes a morning star and sometimes a dusk star. There is also a description in ancient Chinese history books that "there is Qiming in the east and Changgeng in the west". That is to say, when Venus rises in the east before dawn, the ancients call it "Morning Star"; when Venus appears in the west after dusk, the ancients call it "Chang Geng Star".
The star of good fortune and the star of misfortune
Although Venus is dazzling when observed, it does not always represent good luck. Sometimes it hangs high in the east and sometimes shines in the west, making people unpredictable and fearful. To the Mayans and Aztecs, it was both a metaphor for death and resurrection. It is the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who can resurrect extinct people through skeletons stolen from the kingdom of the dead and regenerate with the blood given by this god.
The ancient Phoenicians and Jews thought it was the incarnation of the devil and an evil star. The ancient Mexicans were also afraid of Venus and always closed their doors and windows at dawn to block its light. They believed that the light of Venus brought disease.
