该文首次利用傅里叶分析法对《石氏星经》星表的观测年代进行了研究，认为星表观测年代为公元前７８年。并在此基础上复原了汉代的石氏星官，为进一步研究汉代星空提供了一个基础。

ON THE CONSTELLATIONS OF SHI SHEN'S ASTRONOMICAL SCHOOL DURING THE HAN DYNASTY

In this paper we present a study on the constellations of the star catalogue of Shi Shi Xing Jing (Shi's Classic on Stars) found in Kai Yuan Zhao Jing (Kaiyuan Classic on Astrology) from the Tang Dynasty. Our first step was to determine the obserwtion time of the star catalogue. The Fourier analysis of the star catalogue gave a date of 78 BC. In view of the historical background of that time, we conclude that the stars in the catalogue of Shi Shi Xing Jing were observed by Xianyu Wanren and his group of 22 astronomers during the years from 78 to 76 BC. As a second step, we tried to identify the 120 constellations of this catalogue, and produced a computer-aided stair map as a first reconstruction of the real Chinese sky during the Han Dynasty.
