Lynx in Chinese astronomy

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The modern constellation Lynx lies across two of the quadrants symbolized by the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ) and Vermilion Bird of the South (南方朱雀, Nán Fāng Zhū Què), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 天貓座 (tiān māo zuò), meaning "the celestial cat constellation".
