	The name Tiān Cāng combines ''tiān'' (天, celestial) with ''cāng'' (倉), which denotes a square granary or storehouse in classical Chinese.

The asterism thus represents the square granary of heaven, complementing the circular granary [[Tianqun]] to its east.

			The origin of Tiancang is directly linked to the pasturage and sacrificial symbolism of the [[Lou]] mansion. The ''Shi Shi Zan'' (石氏讚) explicitly states:
			<blockquote>[[Lou]] governs the pastures and the provision of sacrificial offerings; therefore Tiancang was established to nourish them. (婁主苑牧，給享祀，故置天倉以養之).</blockquote>
	The origin of Tiancang is directly linked to the ~~granary~~ symbolism of the [[~~Wei~~ (~~Stomach~~)~~\|Wèi~~ (胃)~~]] mansion~~. The ''Shiji·Tianguan Shu'' (史記·天官書, Treatise on the Celestial Offices) ~~states~~: <blockquote>~~Wèi~~ is the celestial granary.

			Tiancang, together with [[Tianqun]] and the related granary asterisms, was differentiated from this general southern storage region.

	In astrological texts, Tiancang was understood as the celestial agricultural office (天司農), governing the storage of grain in state granaries. The ''Huangdi Zhan'' (黄帝占) records that when the stars within Tiancang are numerous, grain is gathered and the stores are full; when they are few, the granaries are empty and grain is dispersed. The Shi Shi adds that when the "door" of Tiān Cāng is open, the year will be one of great harvest; when closed, the grain will not ripen and the people will suffer famine. Xi Meng (郗萌) notes that if the stars of Tiancang are incomplete, the roads will be impassable.

The ''Shuowen Jiezi'' (説文解字) glosses cāng (倉) as "a place where grain is stored" (穀藏也), while later commentaries distinguish between ''cāng'' (倉, square, roofed granary) and ''qūn'' (囷, circular granary).

			This passage identifies the region south of Wèi as a celestial storage complex, from which Tiancang and related granary asterisms were later differentiated.

The ''Huangdi Zhan'' (黄帝占) records that when the stars within Tiancang are numerous, grain is gathered and the stores are full; when they are few, the granaries are empty and grain is dispersed.
