The question about “In the song 《斗柄指东天下春》 what does the Tianshu Star, represented by Ding Yuxi at the highest position, symbolize?” holds a deeper meaning. CCTV didn’t position him there without a reason.
In the song “斗柄指东天下春”, the individuals represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and Ding Yuxi, standing at the highest point, symbolizes the Tian Shu star. This star, the closest to the North Star, symbolizes wisdom, guidance, and stability. It is also called the “Kui Star,” the first and most prominent of the Big Dipper, often associated with leadership, excellence, and being the best.
Historically, scholars revered the Tian Shu star as a source of inspiration and prayed to it for success in their exams and rise to the top. The term “Kui” itself symbolizes standing out and achieving greatness, making it a perfect metaphor for personal ambition and growth. It’s fascinating how Ding Yuxi’s role aligns with such auspicious meaning, emphasizing not only his position on stage but also his inspiring aura.
Ding Yuxi’s calm, intelligent presence, often seen in his variety show appearances, resonates with the qualities of the Tian Shu star. Praying to him for success feels like a fun yet meaningful way to channel hope and wisdom in overcoming challenges and striving for personal achievement.

Ding Yuxi, you might not realize how much your words have been a lifeline for those struggling through hard times, including me. Your perspective on so many things has given me the strength to hold on one more time. I'm truly thankful for you & so glad that you're my favourite
Consistency
After all these years of acting, Ding Yuxi’s passion has remained unwavering, whether he stands at the peak of his career or momentarily finds himself in a valley. One deeply hidden reason behind this perseverance is his view of the world created by scripts as a rare form of “constancy” in life. While he embraces life’s unpredictability, now even finding joy in it, he believes that holding onto a small piece of “constancy” is a rare certainty worth cherishing. Since this unique opportunity has come his way, he feels it deserves his utmost care.
"Everything in the script is already known; our job is to bring it to life." When explaining these two concepts, Ding Yuxi describes himself as someone who “yearn for consistency but remain curious about unpredictability.” In recent years, he’s learned that accepting the unexpected has become an essential part of his life philosophy. “Uncertainty is the only certainty.”
In his younger years, Ding Yuxi sought to understand everything, believing knowledge would shield him from the risks of life’s twists and turns. However, as he entered a more mature stage of life, he realized that some events lie beyond anyone’s control or influence. It wasn’t a single moment of enlightenment but rather a gradual process like drops of water slowly carving stone. One day, the understanding clicked, giving him answers to questions that once left him perplexed.
"Once you accept that impermanence is inevitable, you’ll recognize that many things happen not because of a failure, but simply because they must. This perspective allows you to approach life with greater confidence."
Ding Yuxi is willing to share such delicate feelings because he, too, has experienced confusion and helplessness. During those times, he found solace and wisdom in books and interviews, learning from the experiences of others. Now, when he has the chance to reflect on his own insights, he feels a strong desire to pass on this positive energy, even if he’s unsure how many people will truly understand or implement it.
"I may not have groundbreaking ideas or life-changing advice, but I want to share what helps me in this moment. If these thoughts can offer even a small source of strength to someone, then I’ll feel it was worthwhile."
A few years ago, in a book he once read, Ding Yuxi encountered a powerful line that stayed with him: “Your profession should connect you to the world around you.” Over time, he has built this connection, using his career as a bridge to understand his place in society. He has found meaning in his existence and no longer worries about such existential questions. This visible growth reflects the journey he’s taken through the seasons of his life.

Ding Yuxi always gives his all in every role he takes on. He always puts in maximum effort to bring his characters to life. Oh, Ding Yuxi, the actor that you are.
Singing songs related to his work is another way Ding Yuxi connects with his characters. “We, as actors, are closer to the characters, so when I sing, the emotions in the lyrics feel especially precious to me.” During the recording, he found himself surrounded by two strong emotions.
The first was a sense of excitement. As an actor rather than a singer, he felt grateful for the chance to showcase his singing abilities to the audience. The second was a deeper emotion. An understanding that beyond technical skill, it’s the raw feelings that matter most. To him, these emotions are the heart of storytelling and the essence of being human.
"My technical skills can’t compare to a professional singer’s, but I believe I’m sharing my feelings with the audience. I’m expressing my understanding of the character through my singing, which is my way of honoring both myself and the role."
The song “凝眸,” is Ding Yuxi’s way of stepping into Mu Sheng’s perspective. After recording it, he saw it as a precious gift, not only for his fans but also for the character who had accompanied him for so many months. “This is my gift to everyone, and also my gift to Ziqi.” Perhaps every time the song’s prelude plays in the future, it will remind him of this old friend. From unfamiliarity to intimacy, every day they spent together will remain a treasured memory.
"The audience has plenty of time and opportunities to get to know me, but these characters might only have half a month to be understood and remembered. I’ve always believed that true death is being forgotten. I hope the audience will remember them deeply and that more people will come to know them. The more people who do, the longer they are remembered, the longer these characters can live in their world."
He doesn’t fear emotional vulnerability, nor does he shy away from the potential pain of being deeply sensitive. For Ding Yuxi, it’s worth it to give his all, again and again, just so his characters can fully experience their own springs, summers, autumns, and winters.

Ding Yuxi's words hit me so hard. I've been too scared to break free from my safety zone, always worrying about the "what ifs," but this made me think twice
Ding Yuxi: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter
A Promise
A few years ago, after gaining the nickname "May Boyfriend" from the audience due to the popularity of a certain work, Ding Yuxi made a promise to himself and his fans. Back then, he said, "I hope to be everyone’s good friend for all twelve months in the future."
In the recently concluded year of 2024, he indeed fulfilled that promise by dominating screens throughout all four seasons. From "White Cat Legend" in spring to "Melody of Golden Age" in summer, "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" in autumn, and "Black and White Forest" in winter, each role carried its own brilliance. Ding Yuxi brought them to life, and in return, these characters elevated him to greater heights.
"Although constantly filming can be a bit tiring, I’m truly happy because I’ve fulfilled my promise to meet everyone throughout all four seasons," he said. This is a journey of "mutual devotion" in many senses: between him and his characters, as well as between him and his fans. The stories may come to an end, but the ripples they leave in people’s hearts continue to spread. In turn, those ripples reflect in Ding Yuxi’s eyes, becoming a unique, breathtaking new scenery for him to see.
"Themes, relationships, characters, experiences, backgrounds, family histories… all these elements can adjust and change. But I always believe that what remains eternal is human emotion. As long as you can grasp those parts, you can make the switch and leap between roles."
The autumn-winter drama "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" gained countless fans, with many loving the unique growth story it tells. As the actor who played Mu Sheng, Ding Yuxi received much attention. However, he doesn’t want to emphasize how special the character is or dwell on the technical effort he put into shaping him. Instead, he hopes to move the audience with the core essence of his performance; sincerity. This sincerity was what initially moved him as well.
Beyond sincerity, Ding Yuxi has another guiding principle; courage. "Sometimes, I hope to abandon the things within my safety zone, to allow for more ‘rough edges’ in my possibilities. And eventually, let those rough edges grow into a larger safety zone."
The drama that followed "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy," "Black and White Forest," was Ding Yuxi’s attempt to expand his safety zone. This suspenseful crime drama is a significant departure from his previous works. Yet, from the moment he read the script, he felt a childhood aspiration stir within him. He knew he needed to give this opportunity a bit of courage.
"This genre is indeed outside my known experiences, making it an uncertain venture for me. One reason I took on this role is that, like many boys, I’ve always had a fascination with the world of police officers. The other reason is that the spirit of doing whatever you want to do when you’re young. Something I believe is worth preserving."
Every character is a window Ding Yuxi opens for himself and his audience.

Commitment
Ding Yuxi’s dedication to his characters isn’t limited to the time between the start and end of filming. He treats each one as a true friend. While physical separation is inevitable, his emotional attachment remains unwavering. In both small and big moments, he never hesitates to express his love for his characters. Love that comes from genuine feelings he’s invested in them.
"The group variety show gave me and all the fans of Love Game in Eastern Fantasy a truly delightful viewing experience." After the drama aired, the “Four Heroes of the Bamboo Forest” extended their on-screen bond with viewers through a variety show titled The Shining Stars. This kind of variety show, closely tied to a single drama, is rare. During the recording, Ding Yuxi felt, just like the audience, as though a beautiful dream was continuing in a new form. As long as the four of them appeared together, the story seemed to hold endless possibilities.
"It’s like having a group of roommates who’ve always lived together. Then, one day, someone tells you, ‘Hey, I’m moving on to a new chapter in life. You can always visit, but things won’t be the same as before. We won’t see each other as often.’"
This time, as the main character guiding the story forward, Ding Yuxi recalled the emotions he once poured into his “virtual friends.” From Growing Pains to Friends, left him with a hollow feeling when they ended. It wasn’t about the story’s resolution, but the bittersweet farewell to characters he had come to see as friends. Now, as he takes on that role for others, he feels a responsibility to make these inevitable goodbyes softer and more bearable. “I hope everyone moves forward with joy.”
