What does it mean to step on seven stars?

A seven-star foot indicates that there are seven moles at the bottom of the foot plate.

As the saying goes, "stepping on a star can command a thousand soldiers", so there is a saying that "stepping on seven stars can unify the soldiers in the world, and they are born with an emperor's life". The real emperor's life of "stepping on seven stars" means not only that there are seven moles at the bottom of the pedal, but also that these seven moles are arranged in the shape of "Polaris", which is the descent of Emperor China.

Legend has it that Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, was a man who stepped on seven stars. Legend has it that it is also the fate of the stars. The emperor ordered seven feet: as the saying goes, "With seven feet, the soldiers in the world can be controlled", and seven feet represent the real dragon emperor. The life of the real emperor with seven feet is not only as simple as having seven moles on the soles of his feet, but also including the arrangement of these seven moles in the shape of the "Big Dipper".

Taoism calls the Big Dipper the Seven-Yuan Xie Hexing King, who lives in the Seven Palaces of the Big Dipper, namely: Shu Tiangong Wolf-greedy Star King, Tian Xuan Palace Giant Gate Star King, Tianjigong Lucun Star King, Tianquan Palace Wenqu Star King, Yuheng Palace Lian Zhen Star King, Kaiyang Palace Wuqu Star King and Yaoguang Palace Broken Army Star King.

Interpretation of seven stars:

Pedal seven stars refers to the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is a part of Ursa major. Graphically, the Big Dipper is located at the back and tail of Ursa Major. 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. The Big Dipper starts at the top of the bucket and ends at the end of the bucket handle.

They are named α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ and η in turn. In ancient China, they were called Shu Tian, Tian Xuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang respectively. A straight line from Tian Xuan runs through Shu Tian, which is about five times as long as it. You can see a star as bright as the Big Dipper, which is the North Star.

The position of the Big Dipper in the sky is different in different seasons. Therefore, the ancients in China determined the seasons according to their position changes: "bucket handle refers to the east, and the world is spring; Bucket handle guide, the world is summer; Bucket handle refers to the west, and the world is autumn; Bucket handle refers to the north, and it is winter all over the world.
