What was Jupiter called in ancient times?

Jupiter was called the year-old star in ancient times.

"Jupiter" was called "the year star" in ancient times. The ancients believed that Jupiter circled the sky once every twelve years and determined the date accordingly. In fact, the ancients in China believed that the world was made up of five elements: Jin Mu, water, fire and earth, and these elements also had their most intuitive colors. When the ancients studied the astrology, they also thought that the five planets were mysterious and magical. When observing these planets, they also found that they do have their own colors, so they linked them.

Yi Si Zhan and Kai Yuan Zhan Jing in the Tang Dynasty once endowed five stars, five phases and five virtues, including Old Star and Oriental Virtue.
