A Chinese Belief
The stars were organised into three enclosures, The Three Enclosures are separated by "walls", which are visible patterns in the sky. The Three Enclosures are the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, the Supreme Palace Enclosure and the Heavenly Market Enclosure. The Purple Forbidden Enclosure occupies the northernmost area of the night sky, the Chinese believed it was the centre of the of the sky. The Supreme Palace Enclosure lies east and north to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, while the Heavenly Market Enclosure lies west and south.
