What does it mean to put the Big Dipper on the mirror?

Stick the big dipper on the mirror. Because the position of the Big Dipper in Tianshui is like a spoon, there is a saying that the Big Dipper is willing to take it down and scoop it up.

The Big Dipper is Shu Tian, with two days of grace, three days of grace, four days of strength, five jade scales, six sunshine and seven lights. The ancients believed that the Big Dipper had its own meaning. The Book of Jin Tian said that the Big Dipper is too north, its pivot is the sky, its grace is the earth, its strength is the time, its balance is the sound, the sun is the law, and Etta Ursa is the star.

The Big Dipper is seven bright stars in the northern night sky. Through their guidance, people can find the North Star. By finding Polaris, people can find the exact north in the dark, and then determine other directions and the correct direction. The belief in the Big Dipper is the highest standard belief in nature worship of ancestors and the root culture in the Chinese cultural system.

Ancestors regard Beidou as a yardstick of direction, season and time. By observing the operating rules of Beidou, they gradually realized a set of China's unique concept of time and space, and abstracted it into a theoretical system applied to geomantic omen, divination, mathematics, art of war and so on. It can be said that if we master the mystery behind Beidou, it is like getting the golden key to open the treasure house of China traditional culture.
