In the Wing Su paragraph, the "Step Heaven Song" gives the wing sex at the beginning, saying that it is "too difficult to recognize the twenty-two stars". At dusk in mid-May, when we face south, a group of small stars in the low sky is where the wings are located, but even if we aim at this starry sky, it is difficult to distinguish the shape of the birds' wings. However, if you know anything about Western constellations, it may be easier to find. In the Western constellations, this starry sky belongs to the three constellations of the long snake, the sextant, and the giant lord. The stars and zhangs are located in the middle of the long snake, while the winged stars are hidden in the giant constellation carried on the back of the snake.
In addition to the wings, the Winged Star Group has only five stars further south, which are the star officials representing the barbarians.

Wing Su - A place of singing and dancing
Among the Seven Lodges of the Southern Suzaku, the largest is the wing of the phoenix, the Wing Suku. Probably based on the ability of birds to fly long distances, the ancients believed that the winged lodgings represented guests from afar, and these stars became bright, which was the time when foreign visitors from Fanbang paid tribute. Since people come to worship, let them feel what is the state of liturgy and music. Birds flapping their wings more like dancing than spreading their wings to fly, so the winged priest is hooked up with music and dance. In the "GuanXiang Play Zhan", it is said that Yi Su is in charge of the five tones and six laws, and the "Jin Shu Astronomical Chronicle" even clarifies the responsibility of Yi Su: "Heaven's Pleasure House Hai Advocate". That is, the heavenly music house, the song and dance.
Although the Book of Heavenly Officials holds that the willow is the beak of the bird, the star is the neck, and the zhang is the sac, the original meaning of the names of these three houses has nothing to do with the bird. The southern seven houses have only wings derived from birds, and the wings are arranged in shape just like the wings of birds. The winged stars are very weak, and the ancients could not have known it too early. The wing should be a specially established star after the correspondence between the four elephants and the twenty-eight houses is established to match the image of the Suzaku.
Marshal Tiandu - patron saint of pear gardens
In the early years, there were many protective gods or ancestors enshrined in the drama class, such as "Tang Ming Emperor", "Lao Lang God", "Erlang God", "Western Qin Prince", "Marshal Tiandu", "Nine Heavenly Wing Su Xingjun" and so on. In the past, pear gardeners had a low status, and had to invite a powerful character to fill the façade and raise their status. Due to the vast territory of China, different customs in various places, and a wide variety of local operas, many drama gods have been created.
The Nine Heavenly Wing Stars in these drama gods are naturally winged stars. In the astrological astrology, wing su is appointed as the "Heavenly Music House Hai Advocate", under the idea of the unity of heaven and man, of course, it is also possible to manage the human music house, so that wing su naturally becomes the god in charge of music and drama, and is enshrined as the protector of the human drama class.
In addition to Yi su xingjun, there is also a drama god "Marshal Tian Du" who is enshrined in the opera class in Fujian, Guangdong, Taiwan and other places, and is also inseparable from Yi Su. Folklore has it that this marshal was originally from the Tang Dynasty, and his mother Su Shi once felt the heavenly wing in the suburbs and threw himself into his arms, so he gave birth to this marshal without marriage. In addition, some people believe that "Marshal Tian Du" is originally a vague name for Wing Su Xingjun, which is a "Tian" character in the middle of the "wing" character as a code name.

The Star Split Wing - Wang Bo's Astronomical Journey
"Yuzhang Old County, Hongdu New Province." The stars are divided into wings and the ground is connected to the Henglu. Three rivers and five lakes, control the barbarian thorns and lead Ouyue. Wuhua Tianbao, Dragon Light Shooting Bull Fighting Ruins, Renjie Di Ling, Xu Wei under Chen Fan's bed. Xiongzhou fog column, handsome star chi. ”
This is the opening chapter of Wang Bo's famous work "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". According to legend, when the Tengwang Pavilion was completed, the unknown Wang Bomao proposed himself to make an endowment for this Jiangnan Haoge. The opening of the fuwen is magnificent and the rhetoric is gorgeous, and it suddenly conquers the literati rioters.
But it is these few sentences that have also attracted some controversy and even criticism. These arguments mainly come from the article's reference to the division system. "Dragon Light Shoots Bull Fighting Ruins", that is, the story of Zhang Hua relying on astrological signs to find a sword, fighting and cattle correspond to Wu Yue, and Tengwang Pavilion is located in Yuzhang, that is, Nanchang, Jiangxi, which is the land of Wu Yue without objection. The problem is the "star wing". Yisu and Yisu were Chudi and Jingzhou, including areas such as present-day Hunan, Hubei and southern Henan, and did not include Nanchang, Jiangxi, so some people have long thought that "star split wing" is wrong.
However, from a broad standard, this sentence is still acceptable, because the area around Nanchang in Jiangxi has always been known as "Wutou Chuwei". The next sentence, "Ground to Henglu", that is, geographically connecting Hengshan in Hunan and Lushan in Jiangxi, also speaks of this problem, proving that Wang Bo is aware of this. Moreover, the ancients usually made slight changes to the division of astrological fields. Therefore, although Wang Bo's statement is somewhat inappropriate, it is only a slight flaw in this ancient famous article.
The Tengwang Pavilion, painted by the female painter Wu Shujuan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, is located on the east bank of the Ganjiang River in the northwest of Nanchang, Jiangxi, and is one of the three famous buildings in Jiangnan, which was built in the fourth year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty (653 AD) and was built by Li Yuanbao, the son of Li Yuan, the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, when he was the governor of Hongzhou.
