唐‧楊炯《杜袁州墓誌銘》：「寶劍之沉，夜氣沖於牛斗。」形容氣勢很盛。「牛」、「鬥」二字象徵二十八星宿中的牛宿和鬥宿，以氣而充盈。藝術家施力仁之作《氣沖牛斗》彷彿寶劍出鞘，蓄勢待發。全身由青銅鑄造而成，其四腳堅實的踏在一個上揚的底座上，其基座被製成山坡型，前高後低，彷彿是一個昂首瞭望之將領，俯察萬物。猶如天上之牛、鬥二星般引人注目。細觀其表情：穩健、和睦；涵氣內斂於胸，闊步於前。
Tang Yang-Jiong's "Epitaph for Du Yuanzhou's Tomb" is a powerful piece of writing that vividly portrays a grand and energetic scene. The sinking of the treasured sword, and its aura surging towards the Ox and the Plow in the night, evokes a sense of strong and dynamic energy. The Ox and Plow constellations, represented by the characters "Ox" and "Plow," add to this sense of vigor. The artwork "Qi Chong Niu Dou" ("Aura Surging Towards the Ox and the Plow") by artist Shih Li-Jen resembles a sword being unsheathed, poised and ready for action. Cast entirely in bronze, the sculpture stands on four sturdy legs firmly planted on a sloping base that appears like a commanding officer surveying the world. It captures the attention, much like the Ox and Plow constellations in the sky. On closer inspection, the sculpture's expression is steady and harmonious, containing a sense of energy in its chest as it takes wide strides forward.
