Tian Dajiangjun is a Chinese constellation in the region of Lóu. It contains 11 or 12 stars, in the Western constellations Andromeda and Triangulum. Its name is translated as "Heaven's Great General" or "Celestial Grand General". In older Western sources its name was transliterated as Teen Ta Tseang Keun or Tëen ta tsëang keun. R. H. Allen based identification of Chinese star names by the English astronomer John Williams and the naturalist John Reeves. But Allen lacked last word kuen as Tien Ta Tseang and also transliterated it as Tsien Ta Tseang.
