Introduction

“The Great Completion of Illustrated Astrology (Part 3): A Summary of Chinese Traditional Astronomy (Vernacular Illustrated)” is the most famous and largest encyclopedia series in Chinese history. It was compiled by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. It began in the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong (1772), and it took 10 years to complete the compilation. The series contains a total of 3,503 books, with a total of about 1 billion words. “Siku Quanshu” is a collection of important classics of various disciplines from the pre-Qin period to the early Qing Dynasty, and is the most abundant and complete collection of Chinese traditional culture. The “Siku Quanshu Vernacular Diagrams” series selects some of the traditional Chinese cultural classics included in “Siku Quanshu”, compiling in an editing method to meet the reading needs of modern readers, after careful collation, vernacular commentary, and vivid illustrations. This series not only retains the authoritative version of the “Siku Quanshu” Wenyuan Pavilion, but also adds an easy-to-understand summary in vernacular; in addition, it also compiles a large number of ancient precious plates, and carefully draws hand-drawn illustrations for readers to understand. Tables, charts, etc., have greatly enhanced the readability of ancient classics with modern editing techniques, making traditional classics vivid and easy to understand, and at the same time have certain literature value, edition value and collection value. “The Great Accomplishment of Star Studies” is the most important work on astronomy collected in “Siku Quanshu Zibu”. The author Wan Minying selected the rare books of the secret collection of star studies circulated in the Ming Dynasty and compiled them into “The Great Accomplishment of Star Studies”. “Siku Quanshu” gave a very high evaluation to this, saying that “it is a collection of many theories, a book not handed down by many artists, and it is actually a five-star encyclopedia.” However, due to the backwardness of ancient science and the limitations of the ancients’ understanding level, now It seems that traditional astrology has its historical limitations, and it even becomes absurd. However, as a cultural phenomenon and cultural heritage that Chinese people have generally come into contact with, it is also worthy of “Illustrated Star Learning Dacheng” based on the 30-volume “Star Learning Dacheng” in Wenyuan Pavilion of “Siku Quanshu”. It has carefully checked and edited, and also interpreted the original text of ancient books in vernacular. In addition, the editor also used hundreds of schematic diagrams and illustrations to analyze some important theoretical methods and difficult-to-understand text in a vivid and easy-to-understand graphic analysis, so that readers can have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the traditional culture of astrology during reading. understanding.
