"Shuo" (the new moon), one of the fundamental elements of the Chinese ancient calendars, was known first as the mean one and then clearly as the real one. By studying these calendars, this paper analyses and induces two kinds of the calculating method of "Shuo" in different times (so-called "Ji Nian Method" and "Shou Shi Calendar Method") including the methods for computation of the mean new moon, the motions of the sun and the moon, the real new moon and etc. Using the basic data of each calendar, this paper also obtains straightly the general formulae of the calculation of the real new moon and gives some examples of the Shou Shi calendar method.
