Ah, meteors are actually angels coming down to Earth! Falling down is referred to as "flow," while ascending is called "fly." Large meteors are referred to as "run," which is another type of meteor. The size of a meteor depends on the significance of what it represents. A rumbling sound signifies anger. If it moves quickly, things progress fast; if it moves slowly, things take their time. A large, dim meteor symbolizes the concerns of ordinary people; small, bright meteors symbolize the affairs of the powerful; large, bright ones indicate those with power and influence over many. A flickering meteor indicates that bad people are about to face their doom. A large head and small tail signify fear and worry; a small head and large tail suggest that good things are on the way! A snake-like, twisting meteor suggests treachery. A meteor that moves very quickly means it’s gone for good. A long meteor suggests lasting issues; a short one implies things will wrap up quickly. Where a meteor lands, war will break out below. If meteors suddenly appear with no wind or clouds and linger for a long time before vanishing, a strong wind will soon blow in, uprooting trees and tearing off roofs. If many small meteors dart around chaotically, it's a sign that the common people will be on the move. In short, the various shapes of meteors indicate different events, all of which I've gathered from ancient texts and the "Jingzhou Divination."
The tail of a shooting star can be two or three meters long, shining brightly, with its light soaring straight up into the clouds! If the shooting star is white, it means the king has sent a messenger; if it is red, it means a general has sent a messenger. If a shooting star is yellow-white, falling from the sky with a sound, landing like a torch, causing wild chickens to call out, it means heaven is blessing. Where a shooting star falls, there will be good news in the country, possibly related to water. If a shooting star is green-red, called "ground goose," then war will break out where it falls. If a shooting star is green-red, two or three meters long, called "sky goose," it is a symbol of elite troops, and the country will go to war, with the general following the direction of the shooting star. If a shooting star shines brightly, white, long, soaring straight up into the clouds, it is the king's star, and both the officials and the army should follow its direction. In short, if a shooting star is as big as a large vat, it means rebellion is brewing; if it is as big as a peach, it means someone is being dispatched on an errand. If a shooting star is as big as a large jar, with a reddish-black light and a beak-like shape, called "liang star," war will break out where it falls, and the king will lose territory.
It is said that a strange star appeared in the sky, as big as a large vat or jar, bright and white at the back, low at the front and high at the back, called *dun wan*. Where this star appears, many people are likely to die, and the country may lose territory without even fighting. There is another star, also as big as a large vat or jar, bright and white at the back, low at the front and high at the back; it also shakes its head, moving up and down, called *jiang shi*. Where it falls, the people will not have enough to eat. There is another star, also as big as a large vat or jar, bright and white at the back; after the star disappears, the white part will curve around like a wheel, called *jie xian*. In countries where this star appears, people will kill each other to compete for titles and salaries, which means they will turn against each other.
There is another type of star, as large as a large urn or jar, with a bright white back, several zhang long. After the star extinguishes, the white part at the back will turn into falling clouds, known as "Da Huo". Where it falls, there will be rivers of blood and a scene of white bones piled up. There is also a star, also as large as a large urn or jar, with a bright white back, with a long, winding tail measuring over ten zhang, known as "Tian Xing" or "Tian Shi". When this star appears, generals will be awarded territories.
Next is "Tian Gou". It appears as a shooting star, yellow in color, and makes a sound. When it falls to the ground, it looks like a dog, where it falls, resembling a blazing fire, rising straight into the sky, sharp on top and round on the bottom, about the size of several acres. Some say this star has fur, with short comets beside it and a dog-shaped form at the bottom. Others say that when this star appears, it is red and white, shining brightly, turning into a Tian Gou after landing. There is also a belief that shooting stars can illuminate a person's face and fall silently, as if walking on feet, also known as Tian Gou. Its color is white, with a yellow interior resembling embers. The appearance of Tian Gou signals war and the crackdown on bandits. Once it appears, all directions will attack each other, armies within a thousand miles will be defeated, and generals will be killed. Some say that when five stars fight, they devour each other, causing bloodshed wherever they pass. The rulers of the country will lose land, wars will break out, and there will be changes in political power, requiring increased vigilance. My conclusion remains the same.
There is also a star called "Ying Tou", that falls like a collapsing mountain, known as the "Ying Tou Star". Where it falls, the armies below will be destroyed, and blood will flow for miles around. Some believe that shooting stars that fall during the day are referred to as "Ying Tou".
Finally, let's discuss auspicious signs. One type is called "Qingyun," which resembles smoke but is not smoke, looks like clouds but is not clouds, vibrant and ethereal, swirling and drifting; this is Qingyun, also referred to as Jingyun. It is a sign of joy and a portent of peace and prosperity. Another type is called "Changguang," resembling a red dragon. It is seen during the rise of sages or the passing of emperors.
The first phenomenon is the rainbow halo, which is a phenomenon appearing next to the sun. This celestial phenomenon indicates impending internal chaos, the ruler's heart is in turmoil, ministers are plotting against the ruler, the emperor is dominated by the empress, or the ruler is infatuated with multiple women.
The second phenomenon is the "Niyang cloud," shaped like a dog, with a long red tail, foretelling that the ruler is on the brink of military disaster and the nation faces impending calamity. The "Niyang cloud," resembling a dog with a long red tail, signifies a chaotic ruler and impending military loss. The appearance of these two celestial phenomena both foreshadow ominous signs, indicating that the nation is on the verge of turmoil and disaster.
