History Of Astronomy: Calendars

Scientific paper

The ten-month solar calendar was firstly obtained from face-to-face conversations through the on-the-spot investigations among the Yi people and then discovered among the Hani and Lisu people. But afterwards some scholars put forward their different proposal: they believe that the orally on-the-spot discoveries are not reliable as they make a suggestion that the Yi people have been using the 12-month calendar since ancient times and the so-called ten-month calendar is made up to deceive people. However, in recent years a significant breakthrough is made in the studies. From the ancient books and records concerning the 10-month calendar, written in the Yi writing, the "History of Astronomical Calendar", "Ten-Month Calendar Signated by the Ten Animals", "Peituomeini", "Book on the Sun, Moon and Stars" and "Genesis of the Yi Nationality", are successively discovered. In the ancient Chinese books, such as the "Book of Changes", "Guangzi", "Neijing" and "Taipingjing", the records of the ten-month calendar are also found.
