Pisces (Chinese astronomy)

The modern constellation Pisces lies across two of the quadrants symbolized by the Black Tortoise of the North (北方玄武, Běi Fāng Xuán Wǔ) and White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ), 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 雙魚座 (shuāng yú zuò), which means "the pair of fish constellation".
