Dayongqin Tianjian has two duties: Baozhang Xingguan observes the celestial phenomena, and Feng Xiangli calculates the calendar.
Shen Yu was born with night vision and could see the slightest change in the star path, but he was trapped by countless logical evidences and could not stop the disaster when he saw it;
Su Yan was proficient in celestial arithmetic and could deduce the fixed numbers of the sun, moon and precession of all things, but he could not see the secrets hidden in the sky.
Thirty years of hidden tampering in the celestial records, artificial tampering of celestial phenomena, and false auspiciousness to control the court. Natural disasters have continued year after year. Everyone in the government and the public firmly believes that destiny cannot be violated.
One believes in celestial phenomena and the other abides by mathematics. They are two extremes of heaven, but they are forced to work together to uncover the hidden truth of heaven and earth.
He climbed high to watch the ups and downs of the stars, and he wrote to calculate the sequence of events in the world.
Everyone in the world says that destiny has punishments and destiny is irreversible, but only two people stand side by side, witnessing the sky with their eyes, and establishing order by calculation.
The stars are flowing year by year, and from this high platform, someone can understand the sky and predict that someone will return to the sky.
Concept: People in the world are divided into two categories: one type only believes in the good and bad fortune of celestial phenomena that can be seen with the naked eye, and the other type only believes in rigid fixed numbers calculated by books and instruments.
Star official Shen Yu can see subtle changes in the heaven and earth, but there are countless theoretical supports, and everything he says is regarded as false prophecies; almanacist Su Yan exhausts arithmetic and abides by the rules of the calendar, but ignores the variables of heaven outside mathematics.
The story breaks the binary opposition: the celestial phenomena are the appearance of the way of heaven, and the calendar is the skeleton of the way of heaven. Without one of them, neither can get a glimpse of the complete and true order of heaven and earth.
Extended reality: Everything cannot be based on subjective feelings alone, nor can we stick to cold dogma. Only by combining perceptual observation with rational deduction can we see the truth.
