Andromeda in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Andromeda lies across two of the quadrants, symbolized by the Black Tortoise of the North (北方ほっぽう玄武げんぶ, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ) and the White Tiger of the West (西方せいほう白虎びゃっこ, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 仙女せんにょ座ざ (xiān nǚ zuò), meaning "the immortal woman / fairy constellation".
