Vela in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Vela lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by The Vermilion Bird of the South (南方朱雀, Nán Fāng Zhū Què) and The Southern Asterisms (近南極星區, Jìnnánjíxīngōu), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 船帆座 (chuán fān zuò), meaning "the sail constellation".
