Did you know that Tai Shui Wu might be linked to celestial generals? Tai Shui Wu is a place touched by Chinese astrology. It is influenced by Feng Shui principles. It also has ties to Taoism and even Chinese Buddhism.
The name “Tai Sui” itself means “great years”. It refers to stars directly opposite Jupiter. Jupiter’s orbit cycles roughly every 12 years. These stars are personified as deities. They play a big role in Chinese beliefs.
The 12 zodiac signs link to Jupiter’s orbit. It is different from the Western zodiac. The star opposing Jupiter each year becomes a heavenly general. People believed this general helped the Jade Emperor. He controlled the mortal world.
By the Warring States period, Tai Sui became popular gods. Records of their worship date back to the Han dynasty. Wang Chong’s Lunheng mentions them. Legends tell of disasters striking those who disrespected Tai Sui.
Later, their number grew to sixty. This was based on earthly stems and the five elements. Each god’s features showed the year’s fortune. A Tai Sui holding a pen meant political unrest. One with a spear meant hard work was needed.
Yin Jiao leads the sixty Taisui Xingjun gods. He does not govern any specific year. Instead, the 60 subordinate Taisui govern. Yin Jiao is called Taisui Tongling Yin Yuanshuai. In Japan, Taisui Xingjun is just one god.
Now, in Taoism, signs clashing with the year’s Tai Sui face trouble. This affects four of the twelve animal zodiac signs each year. In Taiwan, people visit temples at the lunar new year. They seek peace and protection. This ceremony is called “An Tai Sui”. It means pacifying the Tai Sui of the Year. Worshippers receive a talisman. It gives spiritual protection for a year. Chinese communities worldwide also practice this tradition.
Building houses facing Tai Sui was taboo. It was bad luck to face the opposite direction too. Moving houses also followed this belief. The line between old and new homes mattered.
