	Earthly Branches The twelve Earthly Branches or Terrestrial Branches are a Chinese ordering system used throughout East Asia in various contexts, including its ancient dating system, astrological traditions, zodiac and ordinals. Origin This system was built from observations of the orbit of Jupiter. Chinese astronomers divided the celestial circle into 12 sections to follow the orbit of ''Suìxīng'' (Jupiter, the Year Star). Astronomers rounded the orbit of Suixing to 12 years (from 11.86). Suixing was associated with ''Shètí'' (η Boötis) and sometimes called Sheti. Jonathan Smith has proposed that the first meanings of the earthly branches, predating the Shang dynasty, were phases of the moon, with the heavenly stems at that point referring to divisions of the ecliptic. After being adopted as a calendar these would have lost their clear lunar reference, permitting their repurposing for Jupiter stations.

The Annals of the Five Emperors in Sima's ''Records of the Grand Historian'' say that Zhi reigned badly but was succeeded by his younger half-brother Fang Xun, who as King Yao became proverbial for the wisdom and success of his rule. According to the Bamboo Annals written earlier but rediscovered later, a descendant of Shennong named Shu Qi attempted to rebel upon the death of the Empe ...
