Introduction

Greatest Kan and Li

Somewhere in the Heavens is the North Star. Looking at the sky at

night, one would see it past the top stars of the bowl of the Big

Dipper. It lies almost directly above the North Pole, with the Earth

angled at 23.5 degrees towards it. To navigators, it appears as a

fixed point in the sky, serving as a reliable reference in their travels.

It is just one of the myriad stars, rather insignificant and ordinary,

but to the Taoists it is the Center, unmoving while all the rest of the

constellations revolve around it. It is called by different names—

Tian Shu, Tai Yi, the Great One, the Purple Rose, even Zi Gong, the

Dwelling Place of the Immortals, because it is believed by the Tao-

ists to be the Gateway to Heaven.

If there is a universe up there, there is one in the body too. To the

Chinese, the body is a microcosm of the universe. “As above, so

below.” Whatever happens up there happens down here. Hence,

the physical body is marked with gridlines of energy and meridians

of light around a Center, with different body parts equated with plan-

ets and the zodiac. The Center in the body is called Tan Tien, or

“field of energy”.

The idea of a Central Axis—the Polestar in the firmament and a

Cauldron in the body—is a cardinal tenet in Taoist philosophy and

alchemical practice. To get to the Center of the body, open the Tan

Tien; to get to the Center of the heavens, enter through the North

Star. Both are doorways to the heart of the true Tao, the Wu Chi,

from which both Heaven and Earth are born.
