Cepheus in Chinese astronomy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cepheus (Chinese astronomy))

The modern constellation Cepheus lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ), and Three Enclosures (三垣, Sān Yuán), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 仙王座 (xiān wáng zuò), meaning "the immortal king constellation".
