Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Researches: Chinese Chronology and Cycles A mere cursory observation of the opinions held by educated Chinese, regarding the relative position of their government and usages as compared with those of other countries, discloses the existence of a general impression on their part, that China far surpasses all other nations in historical antiquity; and consequently in a more ancient and tried civilisation both political and social, which the Chinese assert has placed them in possession of the accumulated wisdom of ages, and thus entitles them to be considered superior to those other peoples, whose experience they say is only spread over a comparatively much shorter term of national existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Researches: Chinese Chronology and Cycles Thus, the ages preceding the date of the supposed monarch of China, Eu-hi, or even of his immediate pre decessors and successors are not here admitted as deserving critical examination; as erudite Chinese them selves exclude the times in which these personages are placed in their history, from any possible and accurate chronology of China. It is only with the chronology which begins with Hwangti, b.c. 2704, that the present researches are concerned as this is the earliest debate able epoch about which even Chinese agree that it can form a legitimate object of discussion, and it may be assumed as the era of China, with which their chronology starts and begins at his reign.

Book excerpt: Dates form the backbone of written history. But where do these dates come from? Many different calendars were used in the ancient world. Some of these calendars were based upon observations or calculations of regular astronomical phenomena, such as the first sighting of the new moon crescent that defined the beginning of the month in many calendars, while others incorporated schematic simplifications of these phenomena, such as the 360-day year used in early Mesopotamian administrative practices in order to simplify accounting procedures. Historians frequently use handbooks and tables for converting dates in ancient calendars into the familiar BC/AD calendar that we use today. But very few historians understand how these tables have come about, or what assumptions have been made in their construction. The seven papers in this volume provide an answer to the question what do we know about the operation of calendars in the ancient world, and just as importantly how do we know it? Topics covered include the ancient and modern history of the Egyptian 365-day calendar, astronomical and administrative calendars in ancient Mesopotamia, and the development of astronomical calendars in ancient Greece. This book will be of interest to ancient historians, historians of science, astronomers who use early astronomical records, and anyone with an interest in calendars and their development.
