The modern constellation Eridanus lies across one of the quadrants symbolized by the White Tiger of the West (西方白虎, Xī Fāng Bái Hǔ), and The Southern Asterisms (近南極星區, Jìnnánjíxīng'ōu), that divide the sky in traditional Chinese uranography.

According to the quadrant, it is possible that the constellation Eridanus is not fully visible. Achernar (Alpha Eridani) is a bright star in this constellation that may have never been seen in Chinese skies.

The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 波江座 (bō jiāng zuò), meaning "the waving river constellation".
