In [[wikipedia:Chinese astronomy|Chinese astronomy]] [[wikipedia:Sirius|Sirius]] is known as the star of the 'celestial wolf' ({{CJKV|t=天狼|s=天狼|j=天狼|}}; [[wikipedia:Pinyin|Chinese romanization]]: Tiānláng; [[wikipedia:Romanization of Japanese|Japanese romanization]]: Tenrō). It is located in the [[wikipedia:Well (Chinese constellation)|Mansion of Jǐng]] (井宿).Several cultures also associated the star with a bow and arrows. The Ancient Chinese visualized a large bow and arrow across the southern sky, formed by the constellations of [[wikipedia:Puppis|Puppis]] and [[wikipedia:Canis Major|Canis Major]]. In this, the arrow tip is pointed at the wolf Sirius.
