ABSTRACT
Ancient Chinese astronomy is one of the most ancientknowledge. The study of ancient Chinese astronomy needs to pay attention to its special role in ancient society and culture. Through Chinese Astrology, ancient Chinese astronomy affected the culture, politics, military, life, worship, and society of China. The impact of this ancient knowledge still dominates modern Chinese culture. Based on the Chineseview of heaven-man interaction, they attributed the happenings of daily life to various astronomical phenomena and believed that God’s wills show up in the happenings of human life. Therefore, Chinese astronomy andmysterious astrology are closed related.
The author would like to combine the ancient astronomy, astrology, modern astronomy theory, and his own research experienceto create a "celestial scope" in Chinese style. This celestial scope can simulate the actual sky. At this manner, we have not only texts and pictures when we study the planetarium records and theories from Chinese ancestors, but also have a feel of what they “saw” on their sky. This research will be beneficial to those who research on Chinese astronomical calendar, astrology, and other related fields.
