The modern constellation Carina lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the Vermillion Bird of the South (Ã¥ÂÂæ¹æ±éÂÂ, Nán FÃÂng Zhà « Què) and The Southern Asterisms (è¿ÂÃ¥ÂÂ極æÂÂÃ¥ÂÂ, JìnnánjÃÂxëngà Âu), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.
According to the quadrant, possibly constellation Carina in Chinese sky is almost not seen, except Canopus (Alpha Carinae), and Canopus is "south pole" in Chinese sky, and Miaplacidus (Beta Carinae), Aspidiske (Iota Carinae) and Avior (Epsilon Carinae) are bright stars in this constellation that are possibly never seen in the Chinese sky.
The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is è¹åºÂ座 (chuán dàzuò), meaning "the bottom of boat constellation".
