    　　Abstract: From antiquity, the constellation of the Great or Northern Dipper (Beidou) has occupied a major place in Chinese astrology and religious belief. The Beidou stars, which were considered as universal regulators of cosmic events and the governors of human destiny, were particularly important in Taoist traditions, but were also worshipped by Tang practitioners of Tantrism and later Buddhists as well. Among the countless rites dealing with the Great Dipper that were developed by Taoism during the medieval period, we will examine a corpus of Tang Shangqing Registers that provide conspicuous visual and descriptive representations of the anthropomorphic divinities of the Great Dipper. In this context, the concrete descriptions of the material support –such as maps, diagrams, and talismans— on which they were to be designed for ritual utilization will also be considered. We will see too how these iconographic norms and talismanic elements were maintained in later Taoist and Buddhist traditions.
