  • Ancient Chinese Constellations Junjun Xu Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Room 424, Apartment 20, No
    The Role of Astronomy in Society and Culture Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 260, 2009 c International Astronomical Union 2011 D. Valls-Gabaud & A. Boksenberg, eds. doi:10.1017/S174392131100319X Ancient Chinese constellations Junjun Xu Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Room 424, Apartment 20, No. 37 Xueyuan Street, Beijing, China email: [email protected] Abstract. China, a country with a long history and a specific culture, has also a long and specific astronomy. Ancient Chinese astronomers observed the stars, named and distributed them into constellations in a very specific way, which is quite different from the current one. Around the Zodiac, stars are divided into four big regions corresponding with the four orientations, and each is related to a totem, either the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger or the Murky Warrior. We present a general pattern of the ancient Chinese constellations, including the four totems, their stars and their names. Keywords. China, constellations, mansions 1. Introduction Three enclosures, four symbols and twenty-eight mansions characterise the ancient Chinese constellations. This division of the starry sky began to appear in China before the Zhou and Qin dynasties. The three enclosures refer to three areas around the North celestial pole: the Purple Forbidden enclosure, the Supreme Palace enclosure and the Heavenly Market enclosure. The four symbols are distributed near the ecliptic Zodiac and the lunar orbit and are represented by four totems: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North. Every symbol was divided into seven sections which were know as mansions.

  • CHAPTER 1665 This Sound Penetration Is Extremely Strong. All
    CHAPTER 1665 This sound penetration is extremely strong. All over every corner of Li’s ancestral home. Everyone was shocked by this huge sound, and they all came outside the house of Li Jiazu. “hiss!” Seeing the scene before him, everyone gasped. Because outside the Li family’s ancestral home, there are densely packed soldiers… Can’t see the head at a glance. Looking at the flying flags, everyone recognized that this was the one hundred thousand Iron Brigade. Next to him are Ray’s Shura Army and Fan Shengnan’s Great Wall Army. Azure Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger… Heavenly Tribulation and Eighteen Horses; Dragoon Ghost army Heavenly Army, Earth Army, Xuanzi Army, Yellow Army; … Familiar faces. A hot-blooded man. Once they followed the God of War battlefield to kill the enemy. But the times have changed, after the era of warriors. These modern armies have all been abandoned, and few people can remember them anymore. They almost disappeared from public view. These are all undefeated teams! But now the national crisis is at stake. They stood up again. Even in the face of powerful warriors, they resolutely wanted to fight. Everyone has the same idea-to shed blood and sacrifice for Erudia! Shocked! Everyone in Jiangbei was shocked by the army in front of them! “Three hundred thousand troops, please go out of the mountain to protect Erudia and repel foreign enemies!” The 300,000 army knelt down to the ground and shouted together. Today’s main forces are all warriors, especially those who take the lead are the powerhouses of the supreme fourth and fifth heavens.

  • The Symbol of the Dragon and the Tiger in Chinese and Japanese Art
    THE RULERS OF SKY AND EARTH THE SYMBOL OF THE DRAGON AND THE TIGER IN CHINESE AND JAPANESE ART Grade Level This lesson is written for grades 9-12; it can be used in a World History or an Art class. Purpose To look at how symbols of power, the dragon and the tiger, are portrayed in the art of China and Japan; students will then compare and contrast this with the Western conception and portrayal of the dragon. Concepts In the Western world, dragons are portrayed as evil, fire-breathing creatures that must be subdued and killed by heroes. The Western dragon is seen as essentially negative, a symbol of evil and a sign of the devil. In Asia, the dragon is a positive force, a symbol of peace and harmony. Chinese and Japanese dragons are considered to be benevolent and auspicious. They breathe water rather than fire and have the power to bring rain, an important attribute in an agricultural society. The Chinese dragon is a supernatural, mythical creature that inhabits the sky and the waters and is connected with clouds, rains, and fertility on one hand and the emperor and his venerated ancestors on the other. For the last 4,000 years, the dragon has intertwined itself into all phases of China's social and political life as well as every form of art and literature. The dragon is the most important symbol of power, and the symbol of the emperor; no other animal has occupied such an important place in the thought and art of the Chinese people.

  • Double Vision in Aravind Adiga's the White Tiger
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 42 No. 2 Pages 163–175 Copyright © 2012 Perspectives Double Vision in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger P. Suneetha Indian novels have increasingly turned to representing rural life. In ad- dition to work produced by regional artists, the work of writers such as Munshi Premchand, in Hindi, and Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, in Bengali, reflects the everyday problems of rural communities. Premchand’s Godaan expresses profound indignation and protest against the obscu- rantist beliefs, archaic and harmful customs, and social distinctions that fetter rural Indian society. In K.S. Venkataramani’s novel Murugan, the Tiller, “The scene shifts from village to town and back from town (or city) to village, till [sic] at last one has the feeling that all roads lead to Murugan and his rural experiment” (Iyengar 279). The novels of Mulk Raj Anand and Raja Rao present an authentic picture of Indian life examined from multiple angles. Rao’s Kanthapura is the story of a village and its people whose lives derive meaning from their identification with temple, river, hill, mound, and market, a peas- ant sensibility expressed in a style unique to Indian fiction. As Paul Verghese observes, as a rural novel, it records: The changeless, yet ever-shifting spectrum that is Indian village life. The description of the village—its physical features and separate quarters for those belonging to different castes, and professions—and the day-to-day life of the villagers with the monotonous events of planting, harvesting, and marrying, and the occasional celebrations of festivals allaying the even tenor of their life is quite realistic.
