	The name ''Junnanmen'' refers to the southern gate of a military encampment. This asterism originated within the Gan School (甘氏) tradition of astronomy and can be traced back at least to the 1st century BCE. Although the original ''Ganshi xingjing'' (甘氏星经, “Star Canon of the Gan School”) has not survived in full, portions of its content are preserved through quotations in other works—such as the ''Sanjia xingjing'' (三家星经, “Three Schools Star Canon”) attributed to Chen Zhuo (陈卓), and the early 8th-century ''Kaiyuan zhanjing'' (开元占经).

	However, the location of ''Junnanmen'' varies across these sources. Some descriptions place it northwest of ''[[Tian Dajiangjun ~~(天大将军)\|Tian Dajiangjun]~~]'' (天大将军, “Grand General of Heaven”) and north of ''[[Kui]]''; others position it northwest of ''Tian Jiangjun'' but east of ''Kui''; and still others record it as lying west (or southwest) of ''Tian Jiangjun'' and north of ''Kui''. These discrepancies likely stem from the shifting positional attributions of ''Tian Jiangjun'' itself. At the very least, two distinct configurations of ''Junnanmen'' can be identified, as illustrated below.		However, the location of ''Junnanmen'' varies across these sources.

These discrepancies likely stem from the shifting positional attributions of ''Tian Jiangjun'' itself. At the very least, two distinct configurations of ''Junnanmen'' can be identified, as illustrated below.

	Due to the fragmentary nature and internal inconsistencies of the sources, it is difficult to determine which of the two configurations is earlier. Based purely on the relative chronology of the textual materials, the northern configuration appears to be older. However, the ''Kaiyuan zhanjing'', quoting the ''Ganshi xingjing'' text, states: “''Junnanmen'' is a single star, located southwest of ''Tianjiangjun''—it is the southern gate of the ''dajiangjun'' (大将军, ‘Grand General’).” Semantically, this would place ''Junnanmen'' to the south of the asterism symbolizing the military camp—namely, ''dajiangjun''. Yet it remains unclear whether this line reflects the original wording of the Ganshi text or a Tang dynasty reinterpretation.
