The moral of the big dipper

The meaning of the Big Dipper begins with the handle. The first is the star of strength, which can give strength when encountering difficulties. The second is the star of wisdom. The third star is the star of courage. The fourth stands for love. The fifth is the heart of happiness. The sixth star is the heart of disaster. Greedy people look forward to the help of six stars without restraint, and all happiness will be taken away by greed. Seven stars represent rebirth after robbery, giving up greed and gaining "rebirth" with the help of seven stars.

However, in China culture, the worship of the stars including the Big Dipper has a long history, long before the formation of Taoism. Confucian etiquette also emphasizes offering sacrifices to the stars in the sky. China is one of the countries with the earliest development of astronomy in the world. The observation of the Big Dipper system has been recorded for a long time, but the most complete record of the name of the Seven Stars is only found in Shu Wei in Han Dynasty. At first, there were two names, one of which was recorded in the Book of Dou Yun in the Spring and Autumn Period. Yue: "The first, the second spin, the third age, the fourth power, the fifth balance, the sixth sun and the seventh light. The first to the fourth is the first, and the fifth to the seventh is the standard, not a fight. " In addition, Kuixing, the first star of the Big Dipper (or the first four stars) worshipped by students throughout the ages, has always said that Kuixing is a literary star, but there is no doubt that both Wenqu and Kuixing are among the first four stars of the Big Dipper.
