In historical records, it is said that the alternation of the sun and moon's appearances is actually the laws of celestial motion. The sun and moon obscure each other, covering each other up. An earlier saying claimed that "there are five eclipses in a day," referring to solar eclipses occurring in five directions: up, down, left, right, and center. According to ancient calculations, solar eclipses did not start from the east, but because the moon moves in from the west of the sun, gradually moving eastward, and eventually blocking the sun. When the two celestial bodies meet, if the moon obscures the sun from the outside inwards, first touching and then completely covering it, then the southwest corner of the sun is first obscured; if it first completely covers it and then touches it, then the northwest corner of the sun is first obscured; if the moon leaves the sun from the inside outwards, first touching and then completely leaving, then the northwest corner of the sun is first obscured; if it first completely leaves and then touches, then the southwest corner of the sun is first obscured. When the sun is exactly at the meeting point, the obscuration will first appear in the west, so the sun will not have a solar eclipse starting from the east. If there is an obscuration on the sun, it is referred to as a sunspot, not a solar eclipse. Huang Xiang, the Minister of the Documents during the Han Dynasty, said: "Solar eclipses start from the west, lunar eclipses start from the east; there is no talk of up, down, or center." The "Spring and Autumn Annals" recorded that in the third year of Duke Huan of the State of Lu, a solar eclipse occurred, and everything from the middle to the bottom to the top turned black. Some questioned how, if the sun and moon are of equal size, the moon can appear small and in the middle of the sun. Zheng Xuan explained, "The moon perfectly covers the sun, and sunlight shines through from all four sides, so the solar eclipse starts from the middle." Wang Yi argued, "If the moon obscures the sun, it should first cover the western side of the sun. The moon moves very fast, and it should have obscured the western edge in a moment, and then obscured the eastern edge again. But observing a solar eclipse, once the western edge has been obscured, the sunlight returns, while the eastern edge is not obscured." Wang Yi's explanation raises significant questions.
In the past, scholars found it difficult to explain, "Why does a lunar eclipse occur when the moon is visible and far away from the sun? Who is blocking the moon?" Some explained, "The sun emits dark energy; there exists a void in the sky, always opposite the sun. When the moon travels into the void, it will be blocked by the dark energy, which causes a lunar eclipse. Even in the middle of the night, when the sun and moon are aligned on the meridian, directly opposite each other across the Earth, they will still be blocked by the dark energy because celestial bodies are vast while the Earth is comparatively small. The dark void energy is akin to placing a mirror beneath the sun; its light shines on the moon, allowing it to be visible in darkness. It is always opposite the sun, so when the stars fade, a lunar eclipse occurs." Now let's ask, "Stars and the moon are both celestial bodies, both illuminated by the sun. When a lunar eclipse occurs, stars do not need to disappear. If something is blocking, but the stars are not eclipsed, why is this?" The answer is, "The moon governs yin while occupying a yang position; both are in balance, influencing one another, naturally leading to their waxing and waning. Although stars are also celestial bodies, their essence is comparatively weak and diminutive; they can vanish with minor disturbances, making an eclipse unlikely. The faint light can permeate the entire star, and does not change shape like the moon does with its phases."
He asked again, "When a solar eclipse occurs at night, it can confirm the disappearance of stars at night. Why is it that stars are not visible during the day after a solar eclipse ends during the day?" The answer was, "If we say some light is blocked, then there is also light that is not blocked. A solar eclipse at night occurs at a distance, causing the stars that are blocked to disappear; a solar eclipse during the day is closer and shines brightly because it is not blocked." He asked again, "Venus, the planet, moves across the sky and is actually very far from the sun. When it is closer, it shines brighter. How can this be explained?" The answer was, "The phenomena of the two types of eclipses were discussed earlier. The circumstances of celestial movement and obstruction are different, whether in motion or at rest, and the speed of star movement makes it difficult to explain using eclipse phenomena, which may be hard to understand.

In historical records, it is said that in the "Monthly Ordinances," the stars in the sky, including both dim and bright stars, are all part of the twenty-eight lunar mansions. There is a slight gap between the constellations of the Ladle (箕宿) and the Dipper (斗宿). Therefore, during the seasons of early spring and late autumn, a prominent star will be reused and listed alongside the degrees of the constellations, often resulting in overlaps and intersections, which is a sign of disaster not noted in earlier divinations. The "Shishi Star Canon" states: "The Dipper constellation governs titles and the promotion of talent, hence the establishment of a prominent star to assist it. If the prominent star appears abnormally, it will not appear alongside the Dipper constellation." From a literal interpretation, this should also be related to divination concerning prime ministers.
