Pictor in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Pictor lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the Vermillion 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 繪架座 (huì jià zuò), meaning "the easel constellation".
