天鹅座、天鹰座和乌鸦座,是全天 88 个星座里仅有的,而且在我们中国可见的三座 "鸟星座"。在九个以鸟命名的星座里,前三个源自于两河流域和古希腊,其余六座是大航海时代的荷兰水手在南天的发现。我们把飞鸟的轮廓还有名字赋予了星座,在永恒孤独的宇宙里,也算是安放了我们关于时间、生命与救赎的尊严。

很难理解古人到底是怎么从这么抽象的星星中看来具体形象的
鸟叔叔丹大爷
:
我觉得可能有几个原因吧。 第一,那个时候没什么光污染,其他污染也少,等级高的星星非常亮,就容易被观察到,也容易让古代观察星星的人玩连连看。第二,有个视觉心理的现象,叫空想性错视,就是说我们会在比较乱的斑点或者其他的图像里先找自己熟悉的形状,最强大脑? 第三,东方和西方神话体系挺完整的,那就把一个个的神话形象一个个的往上贴呗,然后神话强化了星座,反过来星座也加强了神话的传播,爷爷的爷爷的爷爷告诉爷爷的爷爷,然后一辈辈串起来了,后面的再按照这个方法接着加内容。古代的人我觉得是特别善于把一件枯燥的事儿想办法给变得不枯燥,不然没手机刷的日子太难熬了。
