In ancient times, there were the Big Dipper, but then were there the South Dipper, the East Dipper, and the West Dipper? What is their relationship with the twenty-eight constellations?
Beidou was nine stars in ancient times. The nine stars in the Big Dipper all have names, in order: Tianshu Star, Tianxuan Star, Tianji Star, Tianquan Star, Yuheng Star, Kaiyang Star, Yaoguang Star, Dongxing Star and Yinyuan Star. These names are still used in today's ancient books, while another group of old names are only found in ancient books: Yangxing, the captain of the sky, the chief minister of the sky; Yinjingxing, the supreme commander of the sky, the main position; Zhenrenxing, the Sikong of the sky , governs the immortals; Xuanming Star, the guerrilla of heaven, governs the defeat of evil; Danyuan Star, the fighting king of heaven, governs the destiny book; Polar Star, the Taichang of heaven, governs advancement; Tianguan Star, the God of heaven, governs the secrets of heaven and earth Luck; auxiliary star, the star of Tianzun Jade Emperor; Bixing, the true star of Taichang.
The two hidden stars in the Beidou Nine Stars: the Auxiliary Star and the Bixing Star, in the interpretation of fortune books, Feng Shui, luck and other numerology, are the signs of great wealth and success. Because it is a hidden star, according to scientific terms, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, if someone can really see it, it is a sign of great luck, and they will definitely have good fortune in the future. "Yunji Qizhuan·Volume 24·Sun, Moon and Stars Part 2" records: "The surnames of the Nine Emperors and the Nine Madams on the right are hidden, and knowing them will extend their lives for thousands of years. I often look at them night after night, thinking about the majesty of the image of the Emperor and his wife, and remembering them The surname is taboo, the truth exists in the heart, you can see the eighth and ninth stars, and your life will be extended forever."
Now it is the seven stars:
The names of the seven stars of the Big Dipper are: the first Yangming of the Big Dipper. Greedy Wolf Star Lord (Tianshu), Beidou’s second Yin Jing Jumen Star Lord (Tianxuan), Beidou’s third real person Lucun Star Lord (Tianji), Beidou’s fourth Xuan Mingwen Quxing Lord (Tianquan), Beidou’s third Wudan Yuanlian Zhenxingjun (Yuheng), Beidou Sixth North Pole Wuquxingjun (Kaiyang), Beidou Seventh Heaven Guan Pojunxingjun (Yuoguang).
The Six Stars of the South Dipper: Tianfu Star (the first star in the South Dou, known as Dou Yi in astronomy, and the ancient name Ling Xing), Tianliang Star (the second star in the South Dou, known as Dou Er in astronomy, and the ancient name Yin Star) , Tianji Star (the third star of the South Dou, also known as Dou San, the ancient name is Good Star), Tiantong Star (the fourth star of the South Dou, that is, Dou Si, the ancient name is Lucky Star), Tianxiang Star (the fifth star of the South Dou, that is Dou Wu, the ancient name It is composed of the Mingyin Star) and the Seven Kills Star (the sixth star of the South Dou, namely Douliu, the ancient famous general star).
There is no star connection between East Dou and West Dou, but Taoism has additionally set up East Dou Star Palace, West Dou Star Palace and Middle Dou Star Palace. The southeast, northwest and center are collectively called the Five Dou Star Lords. Below are the East and West The star king who won three battles.
Dong Dou is in charge of the fortune-telling and the five palaces: the first Cangling Yansheng Xingjun, the second Lingyan Yanshengxingxingjun, the third Kaitianji Fuxingxingjun, the fourth Mingheyangxingxingjun. Jun, Jun Xing, the director of the fifth tail pole.
Xidou is in charge of recording names and protecting the body, and the four houses are: Baibiao Xingjun in the first house, and Gaoyuan Xingjun in the second house. Sandianhuang Lingxingjun. The four generals are the mighty Xingjun.
The man in the middle of the fight is called Dakui, who is in charge of protecting his life. The third palace of calculation: the first is the Lord of the World, the second is the Lord of the Holy Star, and the third is the Lord of the Supreme Virtue.
In fact, the Five Dou Xing Palace has nothing to do with the 28 constellations. It means that everyone is a god. If you are interested, go and see the ranking of Taoist gods yourself.
Ancient Chinese astronomers divided the visible stars in the sky into twenty-eight groups, called the Twenty-Eight Constellations, with seven constellations each in the east, west, north, and south. The seven constellations of Qinglong in the east are Jiao, Kang, Di (dī), Fang, Xin, Wei and Ji; the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north are Dou, Niu, Nv, Xu, Wei, Shi and Bi; the seven constellations of White Tiger in the west are Kuí (kuí). , Lou, stomach, 洴 (mǎo), Bi, 觜 (zī), and shen (shēn); the seven places of Southern Suzaku are well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen (zhěn).
