# Andromeda in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Andromeda lies across two of the quadrants, symbolized by the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ) and the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.
The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 仙女座 (xiān nǚ zuò), meaning "the immortal woman / fairy constellation".
