Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences in the world. Ancient China entered the Spring and Autumn Period from the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

People had already mastered a lot of systematic knowledge about rivers and mountains in the pre-Qin period. There are chapters "Guiding Mountain" and "Guiding Water" in "Yugong". "Kaogongji" says: "In the topography of the world, there must be Sichuan Yan between the two mountains, and there must be Tu Yan above the big river." It shows that at that time people have realized the dependence between mountains and rivers. Guan Zi also relates topography and landforms to the location of urban buildings and urban capacity. The article "Guanzi·Cheng Ma" pointed out: "Everyone who establishes a capital is not under the mountains, but above Guangchuan. The height is not close to drought but the water is enough, and the bottom is not close to the water, but the ditch is protected." To further explain: “If the husband’s country has a large city and shallow fields, its wildness is not enough to support its people.” Considering the size of the city in relation to the surrounding countryside is similar to today’s view of environmental capacity.
