Thank you so much to @jonginnation ! I won their giveaway a while back and was finally able to get to the album after being out of state for a while (ty extra to my roommate for keeping it safe for me while I was gone).

Is any of this what you’re looking for?

Ning yi is one of my absolute favorite cdrama characters. So is zhiwei. Chen kun did such an amazing job with this role and him and ni ni have such chemistry. I just ignored how the drama ended and had my own ending cause I love the first ¾ths of it so much.

Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei are both great characters, whether they are together or apart. When they’re off doing their own thing, they’re both very smart and strong and resilient. And when they’re together, they’re so soft and romantic <3 Chen Kun and Ni Ni are really such great actors and I love how they brought these characters to life.

So if they didn’t align any buildings to astronomical bodies, does that mean what we witness in modern times is just a coincidence? As opposed to being intentional? Where can we read about this?

Yes. Though I can guarantee you that many of the graphics you see “aligning”, say, the pyramids with certain planets/stars are also photoshopped. What did happen is that they built some temples etc. to be illuminated by the sun in a very dramatic display during summer/winter solstice. In the Old Kingdom, for example solar temples with high windows allowing in a lot of sunlight were a definite thing.

So solar alignment: yes. Stellar alignment: no, and certainly not before the Greeks/Ptolemies.

thank you so much, sunshine! :)
