Bai Changhong wears the sun. The ancients believed that if there were extraordinary things in the world, it would cause this change in the sky. In fact, this is not a rainbow but a halo, which is an atmospheric optical phenomenon.
The source "Warring States Policy Wei Zesi": "Nie Ci, and Bai Hongguan." "Historical Records, Biography of Lu Zhonglian, Zou Yang": "Jing Ke's intentions are in the past, Bai Hongguan, and the prince is afraid of it."
2. Who can recommend a book about astronomical phenomena, A Brief History of Astronomy, also known as Dan Zi Yuan's Song of Treading in the Sky? This is an astronomical book that can be studied more. The interesting thing about A Brief History of Astronomy is that the author compiled it in the form of China's unique seven-character poems and seven-character songs, and each sentence rhymes. Judging from the text of the article, you can travel in the sky with the author's brilliant pen. The editor is not only rich in astronomical knowledge, but also proves that ancient China literati really read poetry books. This description of starry sky full of Chinese flavor is quite different from the feeling of western astrological articles. The three walls of "Shi Tian Wall, Taiwei Wall and Wei Zi Wall" are mainly composed of angle, temple, house, heart, tail, dustpan, kui, building, stomach, wing, wall, hook, Shen, well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang and wing.
It is still the theory of evolution in Huai Nan Zi, but the theory of evolution in Huai Nan Zi tends to Taoism. Besides space, the astronomical view depicted is also mixed with the concept of time. It also contains the rhythm of describing yin and yang. Gong, Shang, Yu Shengjiao,,,,,,. . . And so on. The calculated news has a strong meaning, and this kind of article has China characteristics and thinking. Personally, I think this ancient astronomical prose is worth reading. The above are two masterpieces recommended for your reference.
3. Is there any classical Chinese that records the ancient people's understanding of the phenomenon of day and night? In the eyes of the ancients, nature is mysterious, celestial bodies are mysterious, and mysterious forces dominate the world in the whole universe.
All kinds of natural phenomena are controlled by gods, and these gods have names, such as the name of the wind Lord, the name of the rain Lord in Fei Lian, the name of the cloud Lord, the name of the moon Lord, and the name of Wang Shu in China, one of the earliest countries in the world. Agricultural production needs accurate farming time, so people naturally have to observe the astronomical phenomena very diligently, and ancient astronomical knowledge has developed accordingly. Eclipses have been recorded in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
There are records about stars and astronomical phenomena in Shangshu, Shijing, Chunqiu, Zuozhuan, Guoyu and Erya. "Historical Records" lists the official books, and "Hanshu" also lists "Tianzhi", which is a chapter devoted to discussing and recording astronomical phenomena.
We now know some common basic astronomical concepts in ancient books, which is undoubtedly helpful to improve our ability to read ancient books. Seven policies (seven obsidians): The sun, the moon and Jin Mu are five stars.
Golden wood fire, water and earth are the five planets actually observed by the ancients, also known as the five latitudes. Venus: Ancient star, also known as Taibai, is silvery white and extremely bright.
In The Book of Songs, Zheng Feng, a female crow, said, "Zi Xing looks at the night and the stars are shining", "Martin, Dongmen Yang" and "Faint for a while, the stars are shining", which means Venus. Venus is called Qi Ming at dawn in the east and Chang Gung Memorial at dusk in the west.

Precession: Due to the slight influence of the gravity of the sun and the moon on the equator of the earth, the earth's axis makes a conical motion around the ecliptic axis, and slowly moves westward, circling for about 26,000 years, and at the same time makes vernal equinox move westward at a speed of 50.2 seconds per year. This phenomenon is called precession.
Yu of the Jin Dynasty first determined the more accurate age difference in China, and reached the conclusion that "fifty years recede by one degree", which advanced the time of distinguishing sidereal years from solar years in Chinese calendars. The earliest calendar for calculating precession was Zu Chongzhi's Da Li Ming.
Sanyuan: Ziweiyuan, Taiweiyuan and Tianshiyuan. When you see the sky above the north in the Yellow River Basin, other stars around you gather into an area based on Polaris, which is called Ziweiyuan.

Seven nights in northern Xuanwu: fighting, cattle, women, air, danger, houses and walls.
Seven nights in the West White Tiger: Kui, Lou, Wei, Chang, Bi, Gou and Shen. Seven nights in South Suzaku: well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and bird.

Zuo Zhuan: "Rowen Chen Fu." "The sun hides ice in the northern land and sees it in the west."
