5.12

著星辰（上張盧反。周易曰玄像著明莫大乎日月也。禮記云著而莫息者天也。著而不動者地也。又曰著明也立也成也。古今正字從草署省聲。下星字古文作曐。說文云万物之精上為列宿也。又星即五星𲄈行二十八宿也。案七曜天文經云紫微太微于市三垣及列宿中外官惣一千四百六十四星應占用者辰即北辰也。論語云為政以德譬如北辰也）。

著星辰: The upper [character is read with the] fanqie zhang + lu. The Zhouyi states: 'Among the manifestation of dark celestial images, none is greater than the sun and moon.' The Liji states: 'That which is manifest without ceasing is Heaven; that which is manifest without moving is Earth.' It also says: 'Zhuo (著) means clear; to establish; to accomplish.' The Gujin zhengzi states: 'Formed from the grass radical (艸) with an abbreviated shu (署) providing the phonetic sound.' The lower character, xing (星), is written in ancient script as 曐. The Shuowen jiezi states: 'The essence of the myriad things rises to become the arrayed constellations.' Furthermore, 'stars' refers to the five planets in their circular courses and the twenty-eight lunar lodges. Examining the Qiyao tianwen jing, it states: 'The three enclosures of the Purple Forbidden, Supreme Subtlety, and Heavenly Market, along with the arrayed lodges, inner and outer officials, total 1,464 stars to be observed and divined.' Chen (辰) is the North Star (beichen). The Analects states: 'Governing with virtue is like the North Star.'
