Introduction on Orion Star aka Hunter Star (獵戶星座簡介)

 
Orion Star, in Chinese known as Lie Hu Xing Zuo (獵戶星座), translated as The Hunter Star Group.

Orion is a name originated from the Greek Context. For those who are into Greek Myth (希臘神話) will know that, this Star Group or shall I say the Star God Orion is closely associated with Zeus (宙斯), the Main God in the Greek Context.

Whereas in our Taoist Context, Orion is one of the 28 Constellation Star Lords known as Can Xiu (參宿).

But, even though Orion in our Taoist Context is part of the 28 Constellation Star Lords, the 3 Stars that standing in the Belt of Orion are known as Fu Lu Shou (The Three Star Lords of Fortune, Prosperity & Longevity – Alnitak, Alnilam & Mintaka).

As you can see from the Pic00, on the top left hand corner, you can see a Bright Red Star, known as Betelgeuse, according to the Astrology Record, this star has entered the final stage of its Life-span (known as Red Giant Star 紅超巨星 – the Astrology term to describe the stage), soon (in Million Years), this star might explode and forever vanished from the Orion Group.

Whereas on the bottom right hand corner, you can see a Bright Blue Star, known as Rigel, according to the Astrology Record, this star has also entered the final stage of its Life-span (known as Blue Giant Star 藍超巨星). Once the time is up (in Million Years), this star will explode and will forever be gone with the dust in the Universe.
