《易》曰：「聖人仰觀象於天，俯觀法於地。」 天文之事，其來已久。 太祖革命受終，膺集期運。 宋昇明三年，太史令將作匠文孝建陳天文，奏曰：「自孝建元年至昇明三年，日蝕有十，虧上有七。 占曰『有亡國失君之象』。 一曰『國命絕，主危亡』。 孝建元年至昇明三年，太白經天五。 占曰『天下革，民更王，異姓興』。 孝建元年至昇明三年，月犯房心四，太白犯房心五。 占曰『其國有喪，宋當之』。 孝建元年至永光元年，奔星出入紫宮有四。 占曰『國去其君，有空國徙王』。 大明二年至元徽四年，天再裂。 占曰『陽不足，白虹貫日，人君惡之』。 孝建二年至大明五年，月入太微。 泰豫元年至昇明三年，月又入太微。 孝建元年至元徽二年，太白入太微各八，熒惑入太微六。 占曰『七耀行不軌道，危亡之象。 貴人失權勢，主亦衰，當有王入爲主』。 孝建二年至昇明二年，太白熒惑經羽林各三。 占曰『國殘更世』。 孝建二年四月十三日，熒惑守南斗，成勾己。 占曰『天下易正更元』。 孝建三年十二月一日，填星熒惑辰星合于南斗。 占曰『改立王公』。 大明二年十二月二十六日，太白犯填星于斗。 六年十一月十五日，太白填星合于危。 占曰『天子失土』。 景和元年十月八日，熒惑守太微，成勾己。 占曰『王者惡之，主命無期，有徙主，若主王，天下更紀』。 泰始三年正月十七日，白氣見西南，東西半天，名曰長庚。 六年九月二十七日，白氣又見東南長二丈，竝形狀長大，猛過彗星。 占曰『除舊布新易主之象，遠期一紀』。 至昇明三年，一紀訖。 泰始四年四月二十四日，太白犯填星于胃。 占曰『主命惡之』。 泰始七年六月十七日，太白歲星填星合于東井。 占曰『改立王公』。 元徽四年至昇明二年三月，日有頻食。 占曰『社稷將亡，王者惡之』。 元徽四年十月十日，填星守太微宮，逆從行，歷四年。 占曰『有亡君之戒，易世立王』。 元徽五年七月一日，熒惑太白辰星合于翼。 占曰『改立王公』。 昇明二年六月二十日，歲星守斗建。 陰陽終始之門，大赦昇平之所起，律歷七政之本源，德星守之，天下更年，五禮更興，多暴貴者。 昇明二年十月一日，熒惑守輿鬼。 三年正月七日，熒惑守兩戒閒，成勾己。 占曰『尊者失朝，必有亡國去王』。 昇明三年正月十八日，辰星孟效西方。 占曰『天下更王』。 昇明三年四月，歲星在虛危，徘徊玄枵之野，則齊國有福厚，爲受慶之符。」 今所記三辰七曜之變，起建元訖于隆昌，以續宋史。 建武世太史奏事，明帝不欲使天變外傳，竝祕而不出，自此闕焉。
The Changes says: 「The sage looked up to read Heaven's patterns and looked down to learn Earth's forms. 」The study of heaven goes back a very long way. When the Grand Ancestor rose by revolution and received the transfer of power, he grasped the fortune of the age. In Song's third Shengming year, Wen Xiaojian—Director of Astronomy and Master of Works—reported celestial omens and memorialized: 「From Xiaojian 1 through Shengming 3 there were ten solar eclipses, seven with the sun obscured at the top. The omen-reading says, 『This points to a ruined kingdom and a fallen ruler.』 Another gloss reads, 『The dynastic line is broken; the sovereign is in mortal danger.』 From Xiaojian 1 to Shengming 3, Venus crossed the meridian in daylight five times. The reading is, 『The realm will be overturned, the people will change kings, and a new house will rise.』 In the same span the Moon infringed on the Room and Heart mansions four times and Venus did so five times. The omen says, 『The realm will mourn—and Song will be the one.』 From Xiaojian 1 through Yongguang 1, four shooting stars appeared entering and leaving the Purple Palace. The reading is, 『The kingdom loses its lord; the throne sits empty and a ruler is driven abroad.』 From Daming 2 through Yuanhui 4, the sky appeared to split twice. The gloss runs, 『Yang is insufficient—a white rainbow pierces the sun—and the sovereign is marked for misfortune.』 From Xiaojian 2 to Daming 5, the Moon entered the Supreme Palace Enclosure. From Taiyu 1 through Shengming 3, the Moon entered the Supreme Palace Enclosure again. From Xiaojian 1 to Yuanhui 2, Venus entered the Supreme Palace Enclosure eight times and Mars did so six times. The omen reads, 『The seven luminaries leave their proper courses—a sign of ruin and death. The great lose their standing, the sovereign weakens, and a new king will rise to rule』. From Xiaojian 2 to Shengming 2, Venus and Mars each crossed the Feathered Forest asterism three times. The reading is, 『The kingdom is broken and the dynasty turns over.』 On Xiaojian 2, fourth month, day 13, Mars held the Southern Dipper and formed a gouji hook configuration. The omen says, 『The realm will change its ruling house and inaugurate a new reign era.』 On Xiaojian 3, twelfth month, day 1, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury gathered in the Southern Dipper. The reading is, 『Princes and dukes will be removed and replaced.』 On Daming 2, twelfth month, day 26, Venus infringed on Saturn in the Dipper. On the sixth year, eleventh month, day 15, Venus and Saturn gathered in the Wei mansion. The omen says, 『The Son of Heaven will lose his lands.』 On Jinghe 1, tenth month, day 8, Mars held the Supreme Palace Enclosure and formed a gouji hook configuration. The reading runs, 『Kings take it as ill-omened; the sovereign's life is unbounded; a ruler is displaced; one may become king in his stead; the realm changes its dynastic reckoning.』 On the third year of Taishi, first month, day 17, white vapor showed in the southwest, stretching east to west across half the sky; it was named Changgeng. On the sixth year, ninth month, day 27, white vapor appeared again in the southeast, two zhang in length; both were large and long in form, fiercer than a comet. The omen says, 『A sign of sweeping out the old and raising the new—a change of master; the distant term is one twelve-year cycle.』 By Shengming 3, the twelve-year cycle had run its course. On the fourth year of Taishi, fourth month, day 24, Venus infringed on Saturn in the Stomach mansion. The reading is, 『The sovereign's life is marked for misfortune.』 On the seventh year of Taishi, sixth month, day 17, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn gathered in the Eastern Well. The omen says, 『Princes and dukes will be removed and replaced.』 From Yuanhui 4 through the third month of Shengming 2, solar eclipses came in quick succession. The reading is, 『The altars of state face ruin—and kings take it as ill-omened.』 On Yuanhui 4, tenth month, day 10, Saturn held the Supreme Palace Enclosure, moving retrograde and direct for four years. The omen says, 『There is warning of a fallen sovereign; the age turns and a new king is raised.』 On Yuanhui 5, seventh month, day 1, Mars, Venus, and Mercury gathered in the Wings mansion. The reading is, 『Princes and dukes will be removed and replaced.』 On Shengming 2, sixth month, day 20, Jupiter held Dipper Establishment. Dipper Establishment is the gate where yin and yang turn over, where great amnesties and the rise of peace begin, and the root of pitch pipes, calendrics, and the seven luminaries; when the Virtue Star holds it, the realm changes its year-reckoning, the five rites are revived, and many are suddenly ennobled. On Shengming 2, tenth month, day 1, Mars held the Chariot-and-Ghost asterism. On the third year, first month, day 7, Mars held position between the two ecliptic boundaries and formed a gouji hook configuration. The omen reads: "The great will fall from court; a state will perish and its king be lost." Shengming 3, first month, eighteenth day: Mercury first appeared brightly in the west. The omen reads: "The realm will change its king." Shengming 3, fourth month: Jupiter stood in Xu and Wei, circling the Xuanxiao quarter—an omen that Qi would receive great fortune and abundant blessing." The celestial changes recorded below run from Jianyuan through Longchang, continuing the Song History. Under Jianwu the court astrologer's reports were suppressed: Emperor Ming would not let heavenly portents leak out, and from then on the record breaks off.

22
史臣曰：日月代照，實重天行。 上交下蝕，同度相掩。 案舊說曰「日有五蝕」，謂起上下左右中央是也。 交會舊術，日蝕不從東始，以月從其西，東行及日。 於交中，交從外入內者，先會後交，虧西南角； 先交後會，虧西北角； 交從內出者，先會後交，虧西北角； 先交後會，虧西南角。 日正在交中者，則虧於西，故不嘗蝕東也。 若日中有虧，名爲黑子，不名爲蝕也。 漢尚書令黃香曰：「日蝕皆從西，月蝕皆從東，無上下中央者。」 《春秋》魯桓三年日蝕，貫中下上竟黑。 疑者以爲日月正等，月何得小而見日中。 鄭玄云：「月正掩日，日光從四邊出，故言從中起也。」 王逸以爲「月若掩日，當蝕日西，月行旣疾，須臾應過西崖旣，復次食東崖，今察日蝕西崖缺，而光已復過東崖而獨不掩」。 逸之此意，實爲巨疑。 先儒難「月以望蝕，去日極遠，誰蝕月乎？」 說者稱「日有暗氣，天有虛道，常與日衡相對，月行在虛道中，則爲氣所弇，故月爲蝕也。 雖時加夜半，日月當子午，正隔於地，猶爲暗氣所蝕，以天體大而地形小故也。 暗虛之氣，如以鏡在日下，其光耀魄，乃見於陰中，常與日衡相對，故當星星亡，當月月蝕」。 今問之曰：「星月同體，俱兆日耀，當月之蝕，星不必亡。 若更有所當，星未嘗蝕，同稟異虧，其故何也？」 荅曰：「月爲陰主，以當陽位，體敵勢交，自招盈損。 星雖同類，而精景陋狹，小毀皆亡，無有受蝕之地，纖光可滿，亦不與弦望同形。」 又難曰：「日之夜蝕，驗於夜星之亡，晝蝕旣盡，晝星何故反不見？」 答之曰：「夫言光有所衝，則有不衝之光矣； 言有所當，亦有所不當矣。 夜食度遠，與所當而同沒； 晝食度近，由非衝而得明。」 又問：「太白經天，實緣遠日。 今度近更明，於何取喻？」 荅曰：「向論二蝕之體，周衝不同，經與不經，自由星遲疾，難蝕引經，恐未得也。」
The compiler remarks: Sun and moon take turns in giving light—a matter of grave importance in heaven's cycles. The node lies above and the eclipse below; at the same degree they cover one another. The old teaching holds that "the sun has five kinds of eclipse"—beginning from above, below, left, right, and the center. By the old conjunction method, a solar eclipse never starts in the east: the moon approaches from the west, moves eastward, and meets the sun. At conjunction, if the node enters from without: first encounter then crossing, and the shadow bites the southwest corner; crossing first then encounter, and the shadow bites the northwest corner; if the node exits from within: first encounter then crossing, and the shadow bites the northwest corner; crossing first then encounter, and the shadow bites the southwest corner. When the sun stands right at the node, the shadow falls on the west—so an eclipse never begins in the east. A blemish within the sun itself is called a black spot, not an eclipse. Huang Xiang, Director of the Masters of Writing under Han, said: "Solar eclipses always start in the west and lunar eclipses in the east; none begin from above, below, or the center." The Spring and Autumn Annals records a solar eclipse in Duke Huan of Lu's third year that cut through the center and left top and bottom wholly black. Skeptics argued that if sun and moon are the same size, how could the smaller moon appear inside the sun? Zheng Xuan replied: "The moon was directly masking the sun, and light streamed out on every side—hence the report that the eclipse began at the center." Wang Yi objected: "If the moon masked the sun, it ought to eat the western edge first; moving quickly, it should soon pass the western limb and then bite the eastern one. Yet we see the western rim darkened while light has already returned past the eastern rim, which alone remains uncovered." Wang Yi's objection raises a serious difficulty. Earlier scholars asked: "The moon is eclipsed at full moon, when it is farthest from the sun—what could eclipse it?" Defenders answered: "The sun casts a dark vapor, and heaven has a void track always opposite the solar axis. When the moon passes through that track, the vapor covers it, and the moon is eclipsed. Even at midnight, when sun and moon stand at south and north and the earth lies directly between them, the dark vapor can still eclipse the moon, because the heavens are vast and the earth small. That dark void is like a mirror held beneath the sun: its reflected light shows in the shadow and always faces the solar axis. Hence when a star crosses it the star disappears, and when the moon crosses it the moon is eclipsed." One may still ask: "Stars and moon alike reflect the sun's light—when the moon is eclipsed, why need stars not vanish too? If something else were blocking the path, stars are never eclipsed; they share the same light yet suffer differently—why?" The reply: "The moon is yin's sovereign standing in yang's place; matched in body and crossed in force, it naturally waxes and wanes. Stars, though akin, have small and narrow bodies and light; the least harm extinguishes them, and they have no place to be eclipsed. Their thin light can fill the void, and they do not share the moon's crescent and full shapes." Another objection was raised: "Night solar eclipses are confirmed when stars vanish at night—yet when a daytime eclipse is total, why do daytime stars not appear?" The reply was: "If light sometimes strikes something, it also sometimes does not; if something is sometimes aligned, it is also sometimes not aligned. At a night eclipse the position is far off, and it sets together with what is aligned; at a day eclipse the position is near, and light returns because there is no direct strike." Another question: "Venus crossing the sky truly comes from standing far from the sun. Now at a nearer position it shines even brighter—what comparison fits?" The reply: "The two eclipse forms just discussed differ in how their circuits align; whether a star crosses the sky depends on its speed. Invoking sky-crossing to explain eclipses probably will not do."

史臣曰：《月令》昏明中星，皆二十八宿。 箕斗之閒，微爲疏闊。 故仲春之與孟秋，建星再用，與宿度竝列，亟經陵犯，災之所主，未有舊占。 《石氏星經》云：「斗主爵祿，褒賢進士，故置建星以爲輔。 若犯建之異，不與斗同。」 則據文求義，亦宰相之占也。
The compiler remarks: The Monthly Ordinances place the dusk-and-dawn mid-stars among the twenty-eight lodges. Between Winnowing Basket and the Dipper the spacing runs somewhat wide. Hence at mid-spring and early autumn Establishment Star is invoked a second time, set alongside lodge degrees; it suffers encroachments again and again—yet what calamity it governs has no received interpretation. The Shi clan Star Classic says: "The Dipper presides over rank and emolument, honoring the worthy and advancing scholars—hence Establishment Star is planted as its aide. An anomaly of encroaching Establishment is not the same as one of the Dipper—" —reading the text for its import, this too is an omen for the chancellor.
