The Four Advisors ({{zh | s = 四辅 | p = sì fǔ}}) is a traditional Chinese asterism found in the Purple Forbidden enclosure ({{zh | s = 紫微垣 | p = zǐ wēi yuán | links = no}}). It consists of four stars found in the modern constellations of Ursa Minor and Camelopardalis and represents the four assistants of ancient emperors. During the Qing dynasty, a star from the constellation Draco was added to the asterism. | Order | Corresponding star |
