Early peoples believed the North Star was the center of heaven, around which all the other stars revolved. This belief was taken up and enlarged upon by religious Daoism to create the Purple Palace of the North Star, which was above--and connected with--the Fairyland of Kunlun.
早期民族認為北極星位居天的中央，眾星環繞，經由道教吸收渲染，成為凌駕昆崙仙境之上的北極紫宮，下與通天的昆崙相連。
