Wu Xian (Shang dynasty)

Wu Xian (Chinese: 巫咸) was a Chinese shaman who practiced divination, prayer, sacrifice, rainmaking, and healing during the Shang dynasty (c. 1250, Anyang period), serving under king Tai Wu.

Wu Xian is considered one of the more prominent ancient Chinese astronomers, alongside Warring States (403–221 BC) figures such as Gan De and Shi Shen. They were also represented as one of the "Three Astronomical Traditions" on the Dunhuang map during the Tang dynasty (618–907).
