Virgo (Chinese astronomy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The modern constellation Virgo lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the The Vermillion 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 (shì nǚ zuò), which means "the virgin constellation".
