Cepheus in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Cepheus lies across one 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 Three Enclosures (三さん垣かき, Sān Yuán), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 仙せん王座おうざ (xiān wáng zuò), meaning "the immortal king constellation".
