Chinese Xianglin Star Chart
317 figures tracées, 61 objets du ciel nommés. Tradition source unique.
This sky culture is based on the Xianglin (象林, "Forest of Constellations") star chart, compiled by the late Ming dynasty scholar Chen Jinmo (陈荩谟) in 1634 CE. It represents one of the last precise mappings of the traditional Chinese star system before significant Western astronomical influence altered subsequent charts. Created independently of the contemporaneous, Jesuit-influenced official star catalogues, the Xianglin chart is a crucial document for understanding indigenous Chinese astronomy on the eve of its major transformation.

Attribution : Chen Jinmo, a scholar from Xiushui (modern Jiaxing, Zhejiang), was a student of the renowned intellectual Huang Daozhou. His work Xianglin was intended as a commentary and refinement of Huang's esoteric text Sanyi Dongji (三易洞玑). For his star chart, Chen meticulously consulted and cross-referenced classical Chinese astronomical texts, primarily relying on the Southern Song dynasty "Zhongxing Astronomical Records" (Zhongxing Tianwen Zhi). He critically examined stellar positions, magnitudes, and asterism names, noting discrepancies and advocating for verification through actual observation where possible.
Cette licence oblige à citer la source et à redistribuer toute modification sous la même licence. C’est pourquoi ces données vivent dans un module séparé du noyau du site : qui reprend le noyau du site n’hérite pas de cette obligation.
Les noms de cette culture ne sont pas traduits en français : aucune traduction publique n’existe pour elle. Nous ne les traduisons pas nous-mêmes : nommer le ciel de quelqu’un demande de le nommer juste, et une traduction faite à la va-vite trahit deux fois. Elles portent donc leur nom d’origine, sa transcription, et la glose anglaise que la source fournit, donnée pour ce qu’elle est.

Chaque nom est donné dans son écriture d’origine, avec sa transcription latine pour qui ne lit pas cette écriture, et son nom français quand la source le fournit.
