Virgo in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Virgo 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 室女座 (shì nǚ zuò), which means "the virgin constellation".
