Fulu is a modern star name adopted by the International Astronomical Union in the IAU-Catalog of Star Names (IAU-CSN). Its origin is Chinese. It is the name of HIP 2920 (ζ Cas, HR 153) in constellation Cas.
Etymology and History
Traditional Chinese single-star asterism: an auxiliary road to Gedao; also represents the chief assistant to maintain roads. Gedao (the flying corridor) is a long chain of stars next to the Purple Palace enclosure constellation. Paradoxically, the auxiliary road is considered a single star asterism as attested in several historical star charts (e.g. the famous Suzhou map). Sun and Kistemaker (1997) who studied sources from the Han dynasty (around the year "0" ± 200 years) identify ζ Cas with this single star. Another researcher, Sun Shuwei, who dealt with the Xinyixiangfayao Star Map from Su Song (苏颂, 1020-1101 CE) identifies δ Cas. Both are plausible.
