			The ''Cheonsang Yeolcha Bunyajido'' (''Tianxiang Lieci Fenye zhi tu'', Diagram of the Astrological Field Allocations) preserves the most ancient configuration of Chinese asterisms, allowing ''Tongling'' to be securely identified with HIP 33694. The name is also explicitly labeled in another Tang-period star map, the ''Gezi Yuejin tu'' (Gridded Monthly Progress Diagram), confirming its position and continued recognition during that era.

			See [[Zigong\|Zigong (紫宮)]] for more identification.

The name Tongling has been proposed in November 2025 for the star HIP 33694 at Vmag = 4.5. However, there is an asteroid name "Tongling" which is spelled differently in Chinese but not in transliteration (asteroid 12418铜陵星, as opposed to 桐陵 for the star).
