Serpens in Chinese astronomy
The modern constellation Serpens lies across one of the quadrants, symbolized by the Azure Dragon of the East (Chinese: 東方青龍; pinyin: Dōng Fāng Qīng Lóng), 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 巨蛇座 (jù shé zuò), meaning "the huge snake constellation".
