	Chinese constellation.		Tiān Biàn (Market Officer, 天弁) is a traditional Chinese asterism close to the Celestial Market (''Tianshi'' 天市). It consists of nine stars and took shape within the Shi-school constellation system during the Western Han, at around 100 BCE. It lies in the modern constellations [[Scutum]] and [[Aquila]], in the Milky Way.

	== Concordance, Etymology, History ==		== Concordance, Etymology, History ==
	...		The name “Tianbian” literally means “Celestial Cap.” The character bian 弁 denotes an ancient form of cap or ceremonial headgear, especially associated with officials and ritual dress.

			The astrological meaning of Tianbian is the chief officer of the celestial marketplace. In the omenological tradition it supervised the rows of shops, prices, records, and market order. Together with such asterisms as Dou (Measure), Hou (Watcher), Zong (Clan), and Zongzheng (Director of the Imperial Clan), it formed part of the administrative and commercial imagery of the Celestial Market.
