Zǐ wēi dǒu shù 紫微斗數

Purple-Pole Star-Astrology

Anonymous; Míng

The foundational text of zǐ wēi dǒu shù 紫微斗數 — the Chinese star-astrology system centred on the Zǐ wēi 紫微 (Purple-Pole) constellation, traditionally attributed to Chén Xī yí 陳希夷 (Chén Tuán 陳摶) of the early Sòng but the received handbook is a Míng compilation. Remains the most widely-practised Chinese horoscope system. Preserved as DZ 1485 / CT 1485 (續道藏).
