===Chinese names=== In [[Chinese astronomy|Chinese]], {{lang|zh|大陵}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Dà Líng}}), meaning ''[[Stomach (Chinese constellation)|Mausoleum]]'', refers to an asterism consisting of β Persei, [[9 Persei]], [[Tau Persei|τ Persei]], [[Iota Persei|ι Persei]], [[Kappa Persei|κ Persei]], [[Rho Persei|ρ Persei]], [[16 Persei]] and [[12 Persei]]. Consequently, the [[Chinese star names|Chinese name]] for β Persei itself is {{lang|zh|大陵五}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Dà Líng wu}}, English: The Fifth Star of Mausoleum.).<ref>{{in lang|zh}} [http://aeea.nmns.edu.tw/2006/0607/ap060711.html AEEA (Activities of Exhibition and Education in Astronomy) <span lang="zh>天文教育資訊網2006年7月11日</span>] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204114123/http://aeea.nmns.edu.tw/2006/0607/ap060711.html |date=2012-02-04 }}</ref> According to R.H. Allen the star bore the grim name of ''Tseih She'' {{lang|zh|積屍}} ({{lang|zh-Latn|Zhi Shī}}), meaning "Piled up Corpses"<ref name=allen1899/> but this appears to be a misidentification, and ''Dié Shī'' is correctly [[Pi Persei|π Persei]], which is inside the Mausoleum.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.ianridpath.com/startales/perseus.htm#chinese| title = Ian Ridpath's ''Star Tales'' – Perseus}}</ref>
