The IAU catalogue's account
Tiān Sì (Heavenly Quadriga, 天駟) is an old Chinese asterism, attested for at least 2000 years. It comprises four of the five stars forming the constellation Wangliang (王良) and represents the four horses pulling the chariot. It may thus be regarded as a constituent sub-constellation/asterism of Wangliang (王良). In the literature in English, the name "Ce" (old spelling: Tsih) can be found; WGSN corrects this misapplication of an old star name.
