Chinese constellations:
Chinese constellations are different from the Western constellations, due to the independent development of ancient Chinese astronomy. Ancient Chinese sky watchers divided their night sky in a different way, but there are also similarities. The Chinese counterpart of the 12 western zodiac constellations are the 28 "Xiu" or "mansions" (a literal translation).
