附件1:《超新星爆炸與教科書級別的古代危機公關》

在1006年，世界各地普遍觀測到了一顆明亮的超新星（SN1006），正處于北宋年間的中國也不例外。這顆超新星被記錄為“周伯”，但它的出現卻帶來了一場十足的輿論危機。

周伯星到底是吉是兇一直存在爭議（古人并不知道每一顆超新星都是獨立存在的，只是將看上去類似的天體當做了同一顆星星）。如《黃帝占》將它視為兇兆：“客星有五……周伯，大而黃，煌煌然，所見之國，兵喪，饑饉，民庶流亡。” 《晉書》等記錄的看法卻完全相反：“周伯星，黃色，煌煌然，所見之國大昌。”關鍵是這顆超新星出現的時機實在太差。當時宋真宗與老對頭遼國簽訂“澶淵之盟”不過一年，就出現了可能象征戰爭的異常天象，自然搞得全國人心惶惶。

這個燙手山芋被扔到了當時的欽天監首席周克明手里。他仔細觀測了這顆超新星，又在上報時巧妙地引用了幾本支持周伯星為吉兆的占星書，說這顆星星并非兵兇之兆，反而會為國家帶來繁榮，成功將這場輿情危機掐死在了搖籃里。宋真宗十分高興，嘉獎了周克明，他也從此一路官運亨通。

對于周伯星的正面看法也持續到了之后的朝代。明仁宗御制的《天元玉歷祥異賦》記載：“國欲昌，周伯黃光”，周伯星自此正式成了官方蓋章的吉兆。
