What constellation does the Big Dipper belong to?

The Big Dipper is a part of Ursa major. It consists of five bright second-class stars and two third-class stars in the shape of a spoon, just like an ancient vessel for holding wine, hence its name. As for the name Beidou, it is also different from the six stars in Nandou. The six stars in Nandou are also arranged in a barrel shape on Sagittarius, hanging low in the summer night sky. The Big Dipper is equivalent to the waist and tail of Ursa major. Four of them make up the bucket spoon, and the other three make up the bucket handle.

Graphically, the Big Dipper is located on the back and tail of the big bear. Of these seven stars, six are secondary stars and one is tertiary. Through the connection of the two stars in the mouth of the bucket, it extends about 5 times in the direction of the mouth of the bucket and finds the Polaris. "Star Recognition Song" has: "Star recognition begins with Beidou, and then begins from north to west." Beginners can look for other constellations in turn from the Big Dipper.
