When we think of stargazing, we often recall the twelve constellations from Greek mythology. However, ancient China had already developed its own sophisticated system for mapping the celestial bodies, known as the star official system, which holds a significant place in the history of astronomy.
Join us for the "Chinese Stargazing Session," a lecture presented by Mr. Li Zhihui, President of the Macau Astronomical Society. This event offers a fascinating glimpse into the astronomical wisdom of ancient China.
President Li Zhihui will introduce the stargazing techniques of ancient China, explaining concepts such as the "Three Enclosures, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions" (三垣四象二十八宿). The talk will explore the distinctions and connections between the Chinese and Western systems of celestial division.
