Metaphor is a prestigious person, admired by the world; Or academic excellence and admiration. Taidou is the abbreviation of Taishan Beidou.

The origin of the great master: In the biography of Han Yu in the New Tang Dynasty, Han Yu was praised with "Taishan Beidou": "The word self-healing (after death) is big, and scholars admire it like Taishan Beidou Cloud." Mount Tai is the first of the five famous mountains in China, and its main peak is located in Tai 'an. The Big Dipper is the Big Dipper of Ursa Major. It is called the Big Dipper, because its seven stars are arranged in a barrel shape (a long-handled spoon used by the ancients to scoop wine), and it is in the north celestial pole all year round.

Han Yu's life:

Han Yu was born in Nanyang (now mengzhou city, Henan) in the Tang Dynasty. Because of his ancestral home in Changli (now Changli County, Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province), he once called himself "Changli Hanyu" and posthumous title "Changlibo", so he was called Han Changli in the world. The Complete Works of Changli is a collection of his last works. His poems and articles are famous, especially his prose, which is unique and is called "Korean". Later generations listed him as the first of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties".

Han Yu advocated learning ancient prose and devoted his main energy to prose creation. Under his advocacy and implementation, the ancient prose movement (that is, the prose movement) began, leaving a profound impact on later generations. Su Shi, a famous writer in Song Dynasty, once praised Han Yu as "the decline of eight generations of literature".
