Are astrolabes and constellations the same concept?
Of course not. Eight characters: it is a person's birth information, which is expressed by four elements: year, month, day and time. Every element is marked by heavenly stems and earthly branches, and four elements add up to eight words, so it is called "eight characters".
For example:
Methyl valproate
Wu you
It's called horoscope.
The horoscope refers to the text format that lists all kinds of information, such as Universiade and fortune telling, in addition to the above eight characters.
