軍南門
[edit]Jūnnánmén (Mandarin phrase 軍南門; Allen's Keun Nan Mun; Staal's Kiun-nan-mun) was one of Chinese asterism, not a traditional name for a star. It meanings "the South Gate of the Camp".
Allen identified it with 2 stars, φ and χ Andromedae, but incorrectly. Staal identified it with 4 stars made up Andromeda's skirt, φ, ξ, ω, and χ Andromedae, but incorrectly too.
Jūnnánmén was correctly formed only one star, "一星一座". Yachita Tsuchihashi （土橋八千太） and Yi Shitong （伊世同） identified it with φ Andromedae, from Qing Dynasty Star Catalog （儀象考成）. On the other hand, Toshio Watanabe （渡辺敏夫） identified it with α Trianguli, from Harumi Shibukawa's star map.
