Since the royal astronomers at that time were licentious and drunk, they failed to predict this eclipse, resulting in confusion and panic among the common people.
Zhong Kang sent the nobleman Yin to punish the Ministers of Astronomy for thus neglecting their duties.
[2] In the Bamboo Annals, this was reflected as nobleman Yin conquering Xihe, which is the god of astronomy.
In the 6th year of Zhong Kang's reign, he appointed the prince of Kunwu (昆吾) as his prime minister.
In his 7th year he died, and his son, named Xiang, declared a new capital at Shangqiu, supported by the prince of Pi (邳).
