28 Constellations
Part 7
The constellation will move North, and the next seven constellations are in Xuán Wǔ 玄武, which is the Tortoise and Snake, and we can see statues of these in Daoist Temples in China. Xuán 玄 means Tortoise and Wǔ 武 in this situation means snake. About 4000 years ago, during the Xia Dynasty 夏朝, there was a famous leader named Yu 禹. Yu’s father was Xuán Wǔ, who was very respected, and people believed he was a tortoise. There was another branch of the Xia Dynasty that believed that they were spiritually snakes. So, now the turtle and snake together, represent good luck and Xuán is the General Immortal Tortoise and Wǔ is the General Immortal Snake. The turtle and snake are always together and when we see the statues together this means good luck.
The northern constellation is Xuán Wǔ which is the Black Turtle and Snake and the snake tangles around the tortoise, and it has 7 constellations: Dòu 斗, Niú 牛, Nǚ 女, Xū 虚, Wēi 危, Shì室, Bì壁.
