	''Qī Gōng'' (Seven Excellencies, 七公) is a Chinese asterism composed of seven stars. Its configuration resembles that of ''[[Tianji]]'' (Celestial Discipline, 天紀), forming an east–west alignment that stretches across the modern constellations ''Hercules'', ''Corona Borealis'', and ''Boötes''. The coordinate of its determinative star was first measured in the Western Han period (around 100 BCE), indicating that the asterism has existed for at least twenty-one centuries.

	In 2026, the name of the historical constellation Qī Gōng (Seven Excellencies, 七公) was suggested to be used for one of the stars in this constellation.

In 2026, the name of the historical constellation Qī Gōng (Seven Excellencies, 七公) was suggested to be used for one of the stars in this constellation. The star δ Boo was recommended, for this star has an highly-accurate observed coordinate in 1630s and is the westmost star in this constellation (In China, the west star of a constellation is usually the determinative star).

	~~Decision:~~ ...		On April 15, 2026, the WGSN adopted the name '''Qigong''' for the naked eye bright star δ Boo (HR 5681, HD 135722, HIP 74666). The star has apparently V magnitude 3.49, and is a yellow giant star (spectral type G8III) that is approximately 37 parsecs distant. δ Boo / Qigong is the primary star of an very wide double star catalogued as STFA 27. Its fainter companion is a 7th magnitude G-type main sequence star that lies 105 arcseconds away (projected separation 38,600 astronomical units). Using Gaia DR3 astrometry, Kervella (2022) estimates the companion δ Boo B is sharing the projected tangential motion with δ Boo A / Qigong within only 0.36 kilometers per second,. Combined with the very similar parallaxes for A and B, the astrometric evidence suggests that the δ Boo / STFA 27 binary is indeed a bound binary star system.

	Chinese ~~constellation~~.		''Qī Gōng'' (Seven Excellencies, 七公) is a Chinese asterism composed of seven stars. Its configuration resembles that of ''[[Tianji]]'' (Celestial Discipline, 天紀), forming an east–west alignment that stretches across the modern constellations ''Hercules'', ''Corona Borealis'', and ''Boötes''. The coordinate of its determinative star was first measured in the Western Han period (around 100 BCE), indicating that the asterism has existed for at least twenty-one centuries.

	...		The name ''Qigong'' (“Seven Dukes”) refers to a group of high-ranking officials responsible for deliberation and judicial review. As explained in the ''Shì shi zan'' (Star Canon of Master Shi, 石氏星經):<blockquote>“The Seven Dukes deliberate on doubts and distinguish good from evil; they serve as the ministers who administer justice in Heaven.”</blockquote>The asterism symbolically comprises the officials ''Sān Gōng'' (Three Excellencies，三公), ''Zuǒ Fǔ'' (Left Assistant，左辅), ''Yòu Bì'' (Right Aide，右弼), ''Qián Yí'' (Front Counselor，前疑), and ''Hòu Chéng'' (Rear Minister，后丞). Together they were imagined as adjudicating doubtful legal cases, examining punishments, and ensuring careful judicial deliberation. Astrological interpretation held that if the stars appeared orderly and bright, the laws of the state would be just and well administered; if they appeared irregular(in position or brightness), wrongful judgments and miscarriages of justice would increase.

			The ''Wei shu'' (Book of Wei, 魏書), juan 91 (“Treatise on Arts and Techniques”), explicitly associates ''Qī Gōng'' with ''Guàn Suǒ'' (Heavenly Prison, 貫索):<blockquote>“The Seven Dukes, seven stars, lie east of ''Zhāo Yáo'' and close to ''Guàn Suǒ''. ''Guàn Suǒ'' represents the celestial prison; when punishments and judgments lose their proper balance, the Seven Dukes deliberate and rectify injustices.”</blockquote>In addition, the asterism ''Tiān Jì'' (Celestial Discipline, 天紀) lies immediately to the lower left of ''Qī Gōng''. Together, these three asterisms form a closely related symbolic complex representing the judicial institutions of Heaven.
