The Meaning and Symbol of the Six Stars in Nandu

The words "North" and "South" hit by the Big Dipper refer to the King of the Big Dipper and the King of the Southern Dipper. Because the Star Scripture says: "The Southern Six Stars, the Lord's command, also dominate the position of Xiang Juelu." After the popular saying that "Nandou dominates life and Beidou dominates death", Taoism deified Nandou's six stars and became the six stars that commanded their life. "Shangqing Jing" said, "The Southern Six Stars, the first Tianfu Palace, are the stars of life"; The next day, Xianggong, Lu; On the third day, Liang Gong, for longevity; On the fourth day with the palace, for the benefit of Xingjun; The fifth Shu Tiangong, because of Xing Jun; On the sixth day, Xing Jun's ascent was called Six Stars. The temple dedicated to Nandou Xing Jun is called Nandou Xing Jun Temple. Because Nandou is good at survival, the people also call him "Teacher Yanshou". Taoism calls the Big Dipper Seven Yuan and Two Xing Jun, and they live in the seven palaces of the Big Dipper, namely Xing Jun, Wolf-greedy in Shutong Palace, Giant Gate in Xing Jun and Tian Xuan Palace, Xing Jun, Lucun in Tianji Palace, Wen Qu in Tianquan Palace, Star Jun in Lian Zhen in Yuheng Palace, Star Jun in Wuqu in Kaiyang Palace and Broken Star Jun in Daxiong Palace. At the same time, some Taoist books also say that according to the time of birth, a person's life is divided into seven-star kings: "The wolf is the king of the stars, and the son of man belongs to it; The giant gate is the star king, and the ugly sea is born; Xing Jun is a stranger in Luchun Town of Yinxu; You were born in Wang Xinxing, Wen Qu; Lian Zhen help Xing Jun, Chen Shengsheng belong to them; Ji, not yet born, Guan, was born in the afternoon. " According to your birthday, you can find your destiny. So neither is bad.
