An eight-pointed star refers to a star shape with eight pointed corners and drawn with eight straight lines.
In geometry, an octagon is an octagon with self-intersecting sides.
Arcturus and Octagonal Star Pattern:
We have said that Arcturus is the prototype of Fuxi. Arcturus points directly to Dou Piao, which is exactly on the extension line of Dou Jian. The ancients determined the seasons based on the construction of the Big Dipper, which naturally determined the eight directions, eight festivals, and eight winds based on Arcturus.
This is the origin of Fuxi’s Bagua painting. This is the origin of the legend that Fuxi took Feng as his surname. Therefore, the eight-pointed star actually symbolizes Fuxi (the Arcturus).
All eight-pointed stars, without exception, are drawn in circles! If the pig on the wings of the jade phoenix symbolizes the four stars of Beidou, then the eight-pointed star in the heart of the jade phoenix undoubtedly symbolizes the three stars of Beidou, Dou Jian, and also symbolizes what Dou Jian refers to. Arcturus!
Although the eight-pointed stars in Dawenkou are not surrounded by circles, they are also formed into a circle around the round pottery beans. The way of heaven is round, going round and round, flowing endlessly. It's like the Big Dipper in the sky. Like a blue dragon in the sky. More like Fuxi on the head of the blue dragon: Arcturus.
