China is one of the countries with the earliest development of astronomy in the world. The observation of the Big Dipper has long been recorded, but the name of the seven stars is the most famous. The complete record first appeared in Weishu of the Han Dynasty. There were originally two names. One was recorded in "Chun Qiu Yun Dou Shu": "The first Tianshu, the second Xuan, the third Ji, the fourth Quan, and the fifth Heng." The sixth is the opening of the sun, and the seventh is the shaking light. The first to fourth are the leader, the fifth to the seventh are the standard, and they combine to form a fight. "① After the formation of Taoism, Beidou was worshiped as the god of heaven and various theological explanations were made for it.

" (Part 8, Nine Stars Brief) ③ Later, "Hetu Baolu" was quoted to describe the surnames and responsibilities of the Nine Stars. The names of the Big Dipper mentioned in the "Yunji Qizhu" above are based on the "Spring and Autumn Yun Dou Shu" of Wei Shu ". The second is recorded in "Luoshu".In addition to the seven names mentioned above, it also records seven other names, saying: "Kaiyang is a treasure, so it is equipped with auxiliary wings. It is called Beidou in Yi Dou: the first is Po Jun, the second is Wu Qu, and the third is Lian.

The so-called "seven political affairs", according to "Suoyin" quoted from "Shangshu Da Zhuan", refer to: spring, autumn, winter, summer, astronomy, geography, and humanity. That is to say, the movement of heaven and earth in nature, the changes of the four seasons, The distribution of the five elements, as well as the fortune and misfortune of human affairs, are all determined by the Big Dipper. The later Wei Shu "Hetu Emperor Lanxi" said: "The Seven Stars of the Dipper are the officials of wealth; the two stars next to them are the officials of wealth." The main star is Jue Lu; one of the stars is the main longevity. "The fighting master will have a good harvest when he is old." ⑨ "Shang Shu Wei" said: "The seven stars are seven auspicious stars for people."

The seven stars of the Big Dipper are named α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, and η were respectively called Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang in ancient my country. From "Tianxuan" to "Tianshu". Extend a straight line outward, about five times longer, and you can see a star that is about as bright as the Big Dipper. This is the North Star.
