			On the basis of Han star catalogs and descriptions of early star maps, the positions of the Shi asterism '''Tianji''' and the Gan asterisms '''Tianshe''' and '''Tianmiao''' can be approximately reconstructed. Among them, '''Tianji''' is the most securely identifiable.

			'''Tianji''' lies close to the celestial horizon, with the Gan asterism '''Qifu''' (器府,“House for Musical Instruments”) immediately to its left. This spatial arrangement would allow '''Tianmiao''' to be placed only above, not directly to the left, of '''Tianji'''. Interestingly, however, the two earliest extant star maps—the ''Cheonsang-yeolcha-bunya-jido'' and the Dunhuang star map—both position '''Tianmiao''' immediately to the left of '''Tianji''', near the horizon. This deviation was most likely influenced by ritual concepts.
