Countless lovers in the world will pray to the starry sky for a happy marriage on this night when the night is quiet. So, you need to look at Altair and Vega on the night of Chinese Valentine’s Day. The Origin of Altair and VegaThe legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Chinese Valentine's Day originated from people's worship of natural celestial phenomena. As early as the ancient times, the ancient people who pursued order not only planned the sky in an orderly manner, but also matched the stars with the ground areas one by one. This correspondence is called "dividing the stars" in astronomy and "dividing the fields" in terms of the ground. Simply put, the ancients corresponded each constellation in the sky with a physical geographical area on the earth. The purpose of dividing the stars and the fields in ancient times was mainly to cooperate with astrological theories to predict celestial phenomena.In the ancient star system, "Niu Su" is composed of 6 stars and is located on the east coast of the Milky Way. It looks like two inverted triangles, one above and one below. It is very distinctive, but the upper triangle is larger and brighter. The small triangle below is located exactly on the ecliptic. These stars form a cow with two horns on its head but only three feet, so the ancients called it "Morning Cow". There are 9 small stars to the south of this "cow", forming the "Tiantian", which is where it cultivates the land. Looking further south, near the southern horizon, there are 9 stars of "Jiukan". Kan is a lowland for storing water, which is used to irrigate farmland. Immediately to the east of Niu Su are the three stars "Luo Yan", which is a water conservancy facility similar to a reservoir. The three "Vega" stars are located in the north of Niu. Among them, "Vega I" is the fifth brightest star in the sky, second only to "Arcturus", so it is often directly called "Vega". People call the "Niu Suxing" and "Zhe Nu" together as "Cowherd and Weaver Girl". |
