Thesis (M.A.)--Indiana University, 2003.

This thesis examines the Chinese constellations surrounding the north celestial pole and presents translated descriptions of them from the earliest star catalogs. These star catalogs come from the Shi ji, Tongzhan daxiangli xing jing, Jin shu, and Kaiyuan zhan jing, which date from the Western Han to the Tang dynasty but also contain much Zhou dynasty material. For each constellation the texts usually give its name, number of stars, position, celestial identity, earthly association, function, astrological portents, and a line of eulogy. These texts demonstrate that the Chinese believed the circumpolar region was the Purple Palace where the Celestial Thearch resided with his family and courtiers. Moreover, events in the Purple Palace resonated with events in the earthly court, and as a result signs in the heavens could be interpreted as portents affecting the state.
