Leo in Chinese astronomy

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

The modern constellation Leo lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the Vermilion Bird of the South (南方朱雀, Nán Fāng Zhū Què), 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 狮子座 (shī zi zuò), which means "the lion constellation".
