Auriga in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Auriga lies across two of the quadrants symbolized by the The White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ) and 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 御夫座 (yù fū zuò), meaning "the driving man constellation".
