As the books write it
From Life Dictionary, “Motion of the magnetic sun,” and The Great Challenge of Life, “Five Realms.” The books give routes, shifts, and claimed sights — not a folk “2–4 a.m.” skywatch. Hours they do not write, we do not invent.
There is no 2–4 a.m. table. The text has: a 24-hour circuit, a 12-hour handover, a ~15-day moon-flow, the Bagua gate in lunar May, and craft that “mostly work in folk daytime.”
01 · Five-sun shift
Five suns take turns. Only one ever runs the magnetic track above ground; the other four work under the crust, venting marsh-salt magnetic gas and patching pressure pillars.
What folk may see：Folk assume there is one sun.

太陽磁球就是民間所言的『太陽』……在天地五界運行一圈是二十四小時；總共有五顆太陽在輪流運行。

02 · 24-hour circuit
One magnetic sun-sphere loops the five realms in twenty-four hours. Size about Taiwan. Maglev on a track.
What folk may see：Not “earth orbits the sun.” The books say the sun circuits the cosmic earth; the earth does not spin.

太陽是如同『磁浮列車』，吸磁懸浮在軌道上運行，而這個軌道是『磁流導電質體的軌道』，是由太陽星君駕駛飛碟（流星磁體船）去打造的軌道，而太陽以吸磁的方式循軌道繞行天地五界。

03 · Exit / entry
Leaves the mud realm at the US region (east, up); re-enters at the Japan region (west, down). East-to-west. Seasons and polar day/night are opposite at the two ports.
What folk may see：Polar day/night near the ice at the ports. The books map the exit sea to what folk call the North Pole, the entry to the South.

太陽繞著宇宙地球運轉，是從沼泥界而出，在民間的「美國區域處」為出口，算是從『東』而上—然後再往民間的「日本區域處」為進入沼泥界的入口，算是由『西』而下。
《人生字典》自然篇-8〈太陽磁球的動態〉 · fwdict.com/dict/natu8.htm
04 · How day and night are made
Open black-cloud plates = day; closed = night. Much of what folk call the sun is projected first-realm light, not one ball from rise to set.
What folk may see：Time zones; occasional “three suns.”
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
黑雲板塊開啟之處為「白天」，未開之處為「黑夜」，而有世界各國「晝夜之時差」。
《人生字典》自然篇-8 · fwdict.com/dict/natu8.htm
05 · Craft operations
Clean the sun-shell, tow slag, mend track, push the moon-battery, shift cloud-plates to rain. Routes mostly desert or empty land.
What folk may see：“Mostly in folk daytime.” Formations, pitted discs, diamond-laser lamps. Not a fixed pre-dawn hour.

飛碟作業的途徑都是在沙漠或無人居住的蠻荒地帶……且大部分會在民間的白天作業，較不容易被察覺。
《人生大挑戰》〈天地五界〉（上） · toh.org.tw/2017/11/04/lifechallenge25/
飛碟機身閃爍的燈火是鑽石雷射光……飛碟在清理太陽外殼的雜物及拖離垃圾團時，必定多少都會發生擦撞，所以這類飛碟的外觀都是坑疤不平。

06 · Drink CO₂, refine magnetic flow
Day and night they refine folk CO₂ into solar-magnetic flow and oxygen. If short: linger at the ports to melt ice, or fly craft to fire volcanoes and forests.
What folk may see：Volcanoes, forest fires, ice melt. The books reject “cut carbon to save the earth.”

太陽星君操作太陽運轉，吸收天下民間所排放的「二氧化碳」，提煉磁流物，才能不斷地產生「太陽能和氧氣」。
《人生大挑戰》〈天地五界〉（中） · fwdict.com/challenge/24a.htm
尤其『減少二氧化碳』排放，太陽就沒有足夠的二氧化碳可提煉，只好大量溶化冰山取得靜磁流質體，或者引爆火山、點燃森林大火，才能產生足量的二氧化碳給太陽提煉，去生產『氧氣和太陽能』。
《人生大挑戰》〈天地五界〉（中） · fwdict.com/challenge/24a.htm
07 · Twelve-hour handover
Exit → 3rd → 2nd → 1st → 2nd → 3rd → entry. As one enters the water realm, another leaves the exit (this one only drinks CO₂, no burn). Water-to-mud is another twelve hours.
What folk may see：No 2–4 a.m. duty roster in the text. Only this route and the twelve-hour beat.

實際有五顆太陽在運行，但是永遠只有一顆隨著「磁流導電質體的軌道」在地表以上運行，且每十二小時輪番上陣……『太陽出口處』→第三界→第二界→第一界→第二界→第三界→『太陽入口處』→當太陽從入口處進入第四界（水界）的同時，另一顆太陽就會在『太陽出口處』出來……（但此顆太陽是只吸「二氧化碳」，不燃燒）。當太陽進入水界到沼泥界的運行，又是另一個十二小時。

08 · Moon magnetic cycle (~15 days)
The moon is a still-magnetic balloon, the sun’s spare battery. Waxing stores flow; after full, the sun draws it and craft ferry it to local yin courts for some ten-odd days.
What folk may see：Phases. Eclipse: craft spray-wash the magnetic membrane. Craft sometimes sip it as emergency charge (too little for the eye).

09 · Bagua gate (lunar May)
In lunar May the second realm opens the Bagua gate for vetted souls to intern. This is the book’s lunar-May operation. Local yin courts follow the local government’s calendar — do not tell every country to use Taiwan’s almanac.
What folk may see：Dictionary “Way of survival”: lunar May, open high ground, usually from midnight. A viewing note — not a 2–4 a.m. sun-lord roster.

如果想見【八卦門】，必定要在每年農曆五月期間（日期不一定），但是必須在「空曠高地處才能見清楚」……時間通常在凌晨零時起！想見的人，就可時常從凌晨零時起，仰望天空。這是觀賞提示，不是太陽星君值班表。
《人生字典》〈生存之道〉 · fwdict.com/dict/comm2.htm
10 · Meteors / showers / solar eclipse
Daily slag-clearing → meteors. Periodic sun “stock-clearance” → showers. Solar eclipse: rare track overhaul with black magnetic fluid.
What folk may see：Comets/meteors = burning slag. Stars = lime-clusters or the five terrain sentry-craft.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
11 · Interior factory
Each sun holds hundreds of millions of Star Lords, day and night: craft, porcelain-stack towers, flow-bottles, diamond chips, electric needles. Tools: diamond. Interior is all light, no dark.
What folk may see：Folk cannot see inside. The exit is desert beside the shield; no one can approach.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
12 · Star Lord rest (as written)
Star Lords work twenty-four hours, then three days off; they rest in twelve-hour turns. A spirit-realm shift — not a folk pre-dawn roster.
What folk may see：No 2–4 a.m. sun-lord table in the text.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
「咦？」我疑惑的說：「那我怎麼沒感覺？歐魯祂們太陽星君不是工作二十四小時才能休假三天嗎？」……歐魯雖然是工作二十四小時才休假，但是祂們也是每十二小時會輪流稍作休息。
《人生大挑戰》〈陰府運作法〉（上） · fwdict.com/challenge/25.htm
13 · Ferry-workers, twelve hours
Ferry-workers start at 4 p.m. and stop at 4 a.m. Yin-court jailers’ shift, not the sun-body’s clock.
What folk may see：Hours as written. Do not turn them into a skywatch slogan.

鍾馗：「沒錯！渡畜牲者也是下午四點開工到早上四點，十二小時就得休息。」
《人生大挑戰》〈陰府運作法〉（上） · fwdict.com/challenge/25.htm
14 · Heat, light, seasons
First-realm fire keeps the third realm warm and lit. Seasons come from that heat, the black-cloud plates, and the suns.
What folk may see：One sun-body cannot run the four seasons alone.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
15 · Seven-year colour ranks
Seven enlistment years: yellow, red, white, blue, black, silver, gold — mapped to the five terrains. Only then apply to the yin court. About seventy years before sitting for Star Lord.
What folk may see：Folk may see gold or silver points, usually with the Bagua gate — not a clock for the ranks.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
16 · Red moon / still-magnetic balloon
Craft enter the still-magnetic balloon to push the hollow membrane. Spray and burn to stop freeze — folk see a pale red moon.
What folk may see：A red moon = craft at work inside. Eclipse: the same wash.
Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong
原文只寫「二十四小時一圈」「每十二小時輪番」「每隔十五天」月亮磁流作業、「農曆五月」開八卦門。沒有寫成太陽星君「凌晨兩點到四點」值班表。本表不補民間觀星口訣。
