	Earthly Branches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are twelve phonetic characters in the system, each corresponding to an animal of the Chinese zodiac, and a respective direction, season, month, and Chinese hour (a modern double hour).
		Some cultures assign different animals: the second animal is the water buffalo in Vietnam, the fourth is the cat in Vietnam and Thailand, and the twelfth is the wild boar in Japan.
		Even though Chinese has words for the four cardinal directions - 北 (běi, north), 東 (dōng, east), 南 (nán, south), and 西 (xī, west) - Chinese mariners and astronomers preferred using the twelve directions of the Earthly Branches, which is somewhat similar to using o'clock for directions.

	NewsHour Extra: Collision With Chinese Plane - April 11, 2001
		The Chinese people were outraged at the "arrogant" Americans, especially since the official Chinese news agency waited a few days before reporting that the U.S. plane had serious damage and that the landing on Hainan Island was an emergency.
		The Chinese newspapers printed angry editorials and gory pictures from the blast, while the government bussed in outraged Chinese students to protest in front of the American embassy in China.
		The Chinese believe that it is better to stay far away from the line between "legal" and "illegal." Going right up to the line but not officially crossing it, is still considered close to cheating.

		First one point of resemblance: in common with the twelve animal year signs, you receive just ONE symbol for a birth horoscope (the exception is when being born about the time when one Chinese hour changes into the next, which necessitates a study of two different signs).
		The animals are the simplified version of real Chinese astrology, presenting only one of the four different parameters of a true horoscope.
		A common view on Chinese astrology is that it generally focuses on Destiny, that is, "what will happen," rather than subtle psychological facets of our being.
