Venus is the morning star.
The morning star refers to Venus, a planet in the solar system. Before and after dawn, a particularly bright morning star is sometimes seen on the eastern horizon. It is not a light source, so people call it the morning star. At dusk, a very bright evening star sometimes appears in the western afterglow, and people call it Chang Geng Star. These two stars are actually one, namely Venus, which is called Taibai or Taibai Venus among the people in China.
Venus is the brightest natural celestial body except the sun and the moon in the whole sky, and its atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide and concentrated sulfuric acid has a very high albedo, which also makes it brighter.
The Legend of Venus
Although Venus is dazzling in observation, it does not always represent auspiciousness. It sometimes hangs high in the east and sometimes shines in the west, which makes people unpredictable and gives birth to fear. For Mayans and Aztecs, it is both a metaphor for death and a symbol of resurrection. It is the Aztec god Quezal Koyatel, who can revive extinct people with skeletons stolen from the kingdom of the dead and regenerate them with the blood given by this god.
Of course, these legends are idealistic ideas because the ancients didn't understand the laws of celestial bodies. In fact, Venus is Venus, and it has nothing to do with human fortunes. In a word, Venus is always the brightest star in the night sky, whether it is a good star or a bad star.
