Who has myths and legends about Sirius?

The mysterious legend of Sirius Sirius in Canis Canis is the brightest star in the whole day. Since ancient times, it has attracted people's attention and played an important role in the history of human civilization development. Many ancient civilizations have detailed records and interesting legends about it. Therefore, our ancestors called this star Sirius, and they may think that the light it emits is murderous, and they think that this star is the main murderer. For example, it is recorded in Historical Records: "There is a big star in the east, which is called wolf. Wolf horns change color and there are many thieves. " The Book of Jin. Tian Wenzhi also said: "The wolf is in the southeast of Dongjing. The wolf is a wild general, and the Lord invades '. Li Bai, a great French poet, once lamented the defeat of a generation of famous Humake in Youzhou in his crusade against fierce slaves with the poem "Who is the famous ancient soldier? It is a pity that the soldiers are exhausted. When the wolf is destroyed, the father and son will be at ease." Ancient Rome, Babylon, ancient Greece and Arabs all called Sirius a dog star, and wolves and dogs were of the same species. Astronomers were puzzled that Sirius had such similar names in these different centers of ancient civilization. In ancient Roman times, Sirius rose from the east before dawn from July 3 to August 1 every year, which was in midsummer and the heat was unbearable. Trees and flowers were scorched by the sun, and wild animals even had no strength to escape, and terrible cold and heat diseases prevailed among the crowd. The ancient Romans believed that these disasters were caused by the dog star and the sun, and called this period dog day. Whenever Sirius first appeared on the horizon in the morning, the ancient Romans offered a dog as a sacrifice. Contrary to China and Rome, the ancient Egyptians worshipped Sirius as the "Star of the Nile", and their observation of Sirius to predict the flood of the Nile became one of the most famous scientific observations in ancient times. The Nile is the "mother river" of the Egyptian people. Due to the regular flooding of the Nile, a fertile alluvial plain has been formed, and the Egyptian people have lived on this land for generations. Generally, the Nile valley south of Memphis is called Upper Egypt, and the delta swamp area downstream of the Nile is called Lower Egypt. Before 45 BC, Egypt was in the late Paleolithic period, and people made a living by fishing and hunting. After 45 BC, Egypt entered the Neolithic period and began to produce primitive agriculture and animal husbandry. Soon after Sirius rises from the eastern horizon before dawn, the flood season of the Nile is coming. The ancient Egyptians used the fertile land after the Nile flooded regularly every year to cultivate. In the eyes of the Egyptians, Sirius became a symbol of the flood and the arrival of spring. Therefore, Sirius was regarded as a god, and temples dedicated to Sirius were built. The doors of these temples were just opposite to the rising direction of Sirius. They set the cycle of Sirius rising from the east before dawn as one year, and called the first day the beginning of the year, resulting in the earliest solar calendar of mankind. As Marx expounded in Das Kapital: "The need to calculate the fluctuation of Nile water gave birth to Egyptian astronomy." Modern astronomers found that Sirius was red in many ancient books in Egypt, Babylon, ancient Greece and Arabia for nearly 1, years from 7 BC to 2 AD, including The Great Astronomy written by Ptolemy, a famous ancient Greek astronomer. However, Sima Qian's "Shi Ji Tian Guan Shuo" written during this period clearly stated that Sirius was a white star, and it was difficult to say which was right or wrong.
