Coma Berenices in Chinese astronomy

View of Coma Berenices, composed of the stars Alpha Comae Berenices, Beta Comae Berenices and Gamma Comae Berenices.

The modern constellation Coma Berenices 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 后髮座 (hòu fà zuò), meaning "behind of queen constellation".
