Scientific paper

The Zhong Kang solar eclipse mentioned in the "Yin Zheng" ("Punitive Expedition of Yin") in the Shang Shu, the Chinese book of historical documents, is known as the earliest one reported in the world. The date identification in the earlier Xia dynasty of this eclipse is puzzling. Due to the Chinese historical astronomers' achievements in the calculations of the calendars and especially the eclipse counting method of the calendar of Shoushi the author identifies that according to Guo's eclipse calculations, the date converted to the Julian calendar is Oct. 13, 2128 BC.
