Around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when you look up at the starry sky due south, the vivid image of Orion is very easy to identify. In the middle of it were three stars very close together, in a straight line, almost equidistant, like a shining belt. That is the belt of Orion, Chinese called: Betelgeuse 1, Bertbusio 2, and Bertrand 3. In the folk, they have more familiar and more down-to-earth names - Lu, Fu, Shou.
They are the "prototypes" of one of the twenty-eight houses, Shēn xiù. Betelgeuse is the seventh of the four elephants of the White Tiger, the word "San" originally means three, referring to the central three stars of Betelgeuse, that is, Betelgeuse I, Betelgeuse II, and Betelgeuse III, which represent the three generals (another term refers to the three armies of the Dynasty). Directly below these three stars (to the south), there are three stars arranged in a single line, named Cut One, Cut Two, and Cut Three, representing the Border Hu people. Therefore, Betelgeuse symbolizes the armed forces, the main killing, it is also known as "Tiger Wei General" or "White Tiger General".
In addition to the "three-star high light", there is also a very romantic "spring garland" in the sky, as if a large garland celebrating the New Year festival, sending New Year blessings to those who look at it from afar.
