Serpens in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Serpens lies across one of the quadrants, symbolized by the Azure Dragon of the East (東方青龍, 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".
