The highest day of 36 days and the earth of 72 days are the names of the stars. Originated from China people's natural worship of ancient stars. Taoism believes that the Big Dipper has 36 highest-day stars, and each highest-day star has a god, which is collectively called "36 highest-day". There are seventy-two earthworms in the Beidou cluster, and there is also a god on each earthworm, which is collectively called "seventy-two earthworms".

The highest soil and the lowest soil are the names of Taoist gods. According to the classification of folk belief in gods, generals are divided into mountain soldiers with 36 days in the sky and soldiers with 72 devils on the ground, both of which are called "gods". According to Taoist records, there are gods and soldiers combined with thirty-six plough and seventy-two demons to drive away evil spirits.

Thirty-six plough and seventy-two demons originated from the worship of Beidou in ancient China, and the so-called heavenly generals are the gods of the Heavenly Palace, who are responsible for protecting the safety of the Heavenly Palace and all the immortals, and have considerable attainments in technology and martial arts. In the ancient mythology of China, the position of the heavenly generals is not high, and they are probably just the guardians of earthly palaces.
