The Great Emperor of the Curved Array (Chinese: 勾陳大帝; pinyin: gōuchén dàdì), full name: the Great Heavenly Emperor of the Highest Palace of the Curved Array, is one of the highest sky deities of Taoism. He is one of the Four heavenly ministers (四御, Sì yù) and is in charge of heaven, earth, and human and of wars in the human world.[1] The "Curved Array" is a constellation in the Purple Forbidden enclosure, equivalent to the European constellation called Ursa Minor or the Little Dipper.

In Taoism, the Great Emperor of Curved Array is the eldest son of Doumu and the brother of the Ziwei Emperor.[2]
