For millennia, the Chinese have closely observed celestial phenomena, attributing great significance to the heavens in shaping their agricultural cycles and cultural and spiritual practices. As one of the world’s oldest civilisations, China developed a deep respect for astrology and astronomy, which played a crucial role in practical and spiritual matters.
The people who devoted themselves to these sciences were highly esteemed in Chinese society. Among them was Gautama Siddha—also known as Qutan Xida—an influential figure of the eighth century. Gautama Siddha stands out as his work transcended borders and profoundly helped intertwine Indian and Chinese intellectual traditions.
