The masterpiece of astrology rewritten by Wang Anli (Wang Anshi's younger brother) in the Song Dynasty, "Lingtai Secret Garden" can be called the crystallization of ancient Chinese astronomical calendar and metaphysical wisdom. This book is based on "Knowing the Destiny by Observing Stars" as its core. It includes twenty-eight star charts, all-sky star charts, and seventy-two horoscopes. It deeply integrates astronomical observation with the theory of yin and yang, five elements, and the induction of heaven and man. The book not only records rare celestial phenomena such as "guest star attacking Ziwei", but also creates the original "Twelve Points" theory, which corresponds celestial changes with regional misfortunes and blessings one by one. The additions from the Song Dynasty are particularly valuable, retaining a large amount of lost astronomical data from the Tang Dynasty. This classic, once a royal secret, can not only help researchers decipher the codes of ancient "manifest destiny politics", but also satisfy the curiosity of metaphysics enthusiasts in exploring the mysteries of the universe.
