One circular star map fills the board. As the narration introduces the Azure Dragon of the East, its seven mansions appear in sequence; then the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise. Each constellation is drawn when it is named, so by the end the viewer has watched the entire sky assembled in the traditional order.
How it was made
Guided-tour mode, Creative style, Chinese narration, one minute fifty-four seconds. The map was generated as a single illustration with all twenty-eight mansion names checked against the script, then each constellation was located and revealed in order.
