The Big Dipper refers to the seven stars known as Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang. If you are outdoors in the wilderness, how can you use the Big Dipper to determine direction?
You simply need to use the Big Dipper to locate the North Star.
First, find “Tian Xuan” and “Tian Shu.” Some people may not remember the exact names and positions of the Big Dipper stars, so here is an easier way to remember them: “Tian Xuan” and “Tian Shu” are the two stars at the edge of the ladle-shaped dipper.
Connect the line between “Tian Xuan” and “Tian Shu,” then extend that line about five times further outward. The bright star you find there, with a brightness similar to the Big Dipper stars, is the North Star.
In ancient times, the Big Dipper was worshipped in Taoism as sacred star deities. Not only were the seven stars given the names Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang, but each was also assigned different spiritual meanings.
Tian Shu is the Greedy Wolf Star Lord, representing many talents and a changeable personality.
Tian Xuan is the Giant Gate Star Lord, representing a thoughtful mind and straightforward behavior.
Tian Ji is the Fortune Star Lord, associated with wealth and money.
Tian Quan is the Literary Star Lord, representing intelligence, wisdom, and literary talent.
Yu Heng is the Honest Star Lord, representing responsibility and a strong sense of right and wrong.
Kai Yang is the Military Star Lord, representing order, calmness, and dignity.
Yao Guang is the Breaking Army Star Lord, representing courage, innovation, and change.
Besides the Big Dipper, there is also the Southern Dipper with six stars.
The Southern Dipper Six Stars are part of the constellation Sagittarius and include Tian Fu Star, Tian Liang Star, Tian Ji Star, Tian Tong Star, Tian Xiang Star, and Qi Sha Star.
Ancient people also gave the Southern Dipper mythical significance. They believed the Southern Dipper governed the lifespan of emperors and that the Southern Dipper controlled life while the Northern Dipper controlled death.
What does “Sha Po Lang” mean?
“Sha Po Lang” refers to three Zi Wei astrology destiny types: Qi Sha, Po Jun, and Tan Lang.
People born under these three destiny patterns were believed to be extraordinary individuals.
They often succeed during chaotic times, and their lives are usually filled with dramatic ups and downs, with success and failure difficult to predict.
The representative figure of Qi Sha is Guan Yu, known for his honesty and bold personality.
The representative figure of Tan Lang is Zhou Yu, known for eloquence, intelligence, and cleverness.
The representative figure of Po Jun is Zhang Fei, known for integrity, determination, and acting according to his own will.
Although the Sha Po Lang destiny suggests instability and constant life changes, it is also believed to hold the potential for becoming a great hero.
