THE ANCIENT CALENDARS IN ANDBEFORE QIN-HAN PERIOD

The commentaries of Liu Xin and Du Yu on Zuo Zhuan(Master Zuo Qiuming's Chronicles)are quite different from Zuo Zhuan itseff, hence we should keep them apart. In Zuo Zhuan, there are essential astronomical data which formed a germ of calendar.This paper shows that in Qin dynasty two(instead of one)calendars,Yin calendar and Zhuan xu calendar, were adopted.The first was selected by Lu Buwei, the essential features of which are first discussed here. It also shows that Zhuanxu calendar was created when Lu Buwei was exiled, and we explain why it took the slar term Lichun as standard, and why its annual terms were one year ahead of those in Yin calendar.The paper discusses the procedure of adopting a new calendar in Taichu and differently recorded in Shi Ji(Record of the Historian)and Han Shu(History of the Han Dynasty).It also discusses the Santong calendar created by Liu Xin in detail, and sketches the development of the Ganzhi annual system.
