中西星名對照表將中國星名對應到現代星名,並列出所有星區、星官以及星名的中西譯名,分為32天區,有306星官,共1511星。由於星數眾多,按北天、南天、東方、北方、西方、南方共六個星區分別列表,又獨立出二十八宿部分以方便瀏覽。
專有名詞
在中國的星象劃分中「垣」、「象」、「宿」、「星官」是四個不同的單位,與現代88星座的劃分方法完全不一樣。
- 垣 enclosures
- 「三垣」是最晚形成的星區概念,皆有東西兩藩的星,即圍繞宮室的牆垣,故又可稱為「宮」。
- 象 symbols
- 有形象、象徵之意,「四象」是最早形成的星區概念,後來演變成平面座標中的四個象限。
- 宿 lunar mansions
- 又稱為「舍」,專指二十八個特定的星官或其所在的天區,即「二十八宿」,其重要性相當於西洋的「黃道十二宮」。
- 要特別注意的是,在英文中「lunar mansion」一定是指某特定星官所在的「星區」,而非單一的星官。
- 星官 constellations
- 與西洋「星座」的意義較為類似,都是星象劃分的最小單位,但中國的「星官」有時只有一顆星,而且對他們之間的邊界沒有作定義,兩者的概念不同。[3]
- 「星宿」一詞與「星官」同義[4],只有用在二十八宿時,才可以等同於「宿」,兩者意義有所不同,應避免混用。
- 「天官」有時指「星官」,但一般皆指《史記·天官書》中的「五官」,即「五宮」,應避免混用。
三垣
三垣是天球北極附近的星象,分紫微垣、太微垣和天市垣三個天區,在《史記·天官書》中統稱為「中官」。
