	''Shengong'' (the “Divine Palace”) first appeared in the early eighth century ''Kaiyuan zhanjing'' (''Divination Canon of Kaiyuan Reign, KYZJ'', compiles between 712–718 CE), and was identified with μ² Scorpii. Because μ¹ and μ² are separated by only 0.1°, it is conceivable that some observers could not distinguish between the two and regarded them as a single star. In that case, ''Shengong'' should have been observed as another star.

In that case, ''Shengong'' should have been observed as another star.

	Another possible cause of misidentification lies in the star maps themselves. Many historical star maps—such as those in ''Xinyixiangfayao star map''—depict the distance between ''Shengong'' and μ² as much larger than it actually is. For whatever reason, the observers of ''Jingyou Star Catalogue'' (compiled in 1034 CE by Yang Weide) identified ''Shengong'' as a different star: the coordinates they obtained with the armillary sphere were about one degree away from μ¹, far exceeding the real separation of 0.1°. In the star map shown below (second row, second column), the black square marks the coordinate observed in 1034.		Another possible cause of misidentification lies in the star maps themselves.

In the star map shown below (second row, second column), the black square marks the coordinate observed in 1034.

	The position of ''Shengong'' would thus correspond either to HIP 83100, which has a visual magnitude of 6.05, or to HIP 83491, which lies slightly farther east but is somewhat brighter (V = 5.9 mag).
