Facing the starry sky in winter night, let's find and enjoy Taurus carefully.
Along the famous Orion Samsung extending to the north-west sky, it is easy to find a first class bright star with red color. Its Chinese name is bissuv (Taurus a). Bissuv and its nearby 67 stars form a similar "V" shape, Taurus. Taurus is one of the representative constellation of winter stars, which belongs to the zodiac. The sun travels through Taurus from May 14 to June 31 every year. It seems that the entire arrangement of Taurus is like a cross tree fork, one of which extends to the pentagonal shape of the constellation Yufu. The star at the southern vertex of the pentagonal shape is called five cars and five. It belongs to the second bright star of Taurus, namely Taurus β star.
According to Greek mythology, this Taurus is the incarnation of Zeus. Legend says that on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, near Lebanon, there is a small country named phoenici, whose daughter, Europa, is very beautiful. It is said that Europa often dreams of a strange woman saying to herself, "let me take you to Zeus, for the goddess of fate has appointed you to be his lover." One day, Princess Europa and the maidens were seen by Zeus on the beach. The amorous God was attracted by the beauty of the princess. So he used magic to turn himself into a cow with golden horns to get close to the princess. The princess saw the robust cow very tame, and soon rode to play on its back. No one knows that the princess Europa, such as the cow, rode on the back of the cow and ran straight to the sea.
"Marry me, please! I am Zeus. I will make you happy! " Suddenly the bull said to Europa. Europa nodded with a heart beating. The cow swam faster with excitement, and soon swam across the sea and landed on Crete. At this time, Europa seemed to see the strange woman in his dream, and the woman said, "I am Venus, the God of beauty, and Cupid, my son, has shot you and Zeus' heart, and it is Zeus who brought you here. You are now the goddess on the ground, and this land is called Europa. " Europa realized that he believed in the arrangement of the goddess of fate. Europa was loved by Zeus and was said to have three children later. Today's Europe is said to have come from the name of Europa. The bull incarnated and was later raised to the sky by Zeus, becoming the Taurus.
