  • Calculation of Moon Phases and 24 Solar Terms
    Calculation of Moon Phases and 24 Solar Terms Yuk Tung Liu (廖²棟) First draft: 2018-10-24, Last major revision: 2021-06-12 Chinese Versions: ³³³qqq---文文文 简简简SSS---文文文 This document explains the method used to compute the times of the moon phases and 24 solar terms. These times are important in the calculation of the Chinese calendar. See this page for an introduction to the 24 solar terms, and this page for an introduction to the Chinese calendar calculation. Computation of accurate times of moon phases and 24 solar terms is complicated, but today all the necessary resources are freely available. Anyone familiar with numerical computation and computer programming can follow the procedure outlined in this document to do the computation. Before stating the procedure, it is useful to have a basic understanding of the basic concepts behind the computation. I assume that readers are already familiar with the important astronomy concepts mentioned on this page. In Section 1, I briefly introduce the barycentric dynamical time (TDB) used in modern ephemerides, and its connection to terrestrial time (TT) and international atomic time (TAI). Readers who are not familiar with general relativity do not have to pay much attention to the formulas there. Section 2 introduces the various coordinate systems used in modern astronomy. Section 3 lists the formulas for computing the IAU 2006/2000A precession and nutation matrices. One important component in the computation of accurate times of moon phases and 24 solar terms is an accurate ephemeris of the Sun and Moon. I use the ephemerides developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the computation.

As a result of the global movement toward greater recognition of gender equality and human dignity, the study of women as portrayed in Chinese literature has a long and rich history.

  • The Mathematics of the Chinese Calendar
    The Mathematics of the Chinese Calendar Helmer Aslaksen Department of Mathematics National University of Singapore Singapore 117543 Republic of Singapore [email protected] www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/ August 28, 2003 1 Introduction Chinese New Year is the main holiday of the year for more than one quarter of the world’s population; very few people, however, know how to compute its date. For many years I kept asking people about the rules for the Chinese calendar, but I wasn’t able to find anybody who could help me. Many of the people who were knowledgeable about science felt that the traditional Chinese calendar was backwards and superstitious, while people who cared about Chinese culture usually lacked the scientific knowledge to understand how the calendar worked. In the end I gave up and decided that I had to figure it out for myself. This paper is the result. The rules for the Chinese calendar have changed many times over the years. This has caused a lot of confusion for people writing about it. Many sources describe the rules that were used before the last calendar reform in 1645, and some modern sources even describe the rules that were used before 104 BCE! In addition, the otherwise authoritative work of Needham ([32]) almost completely ignores the topic. For many years, the only reliable source in English was the article by Doggett in the Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac ([12]), based on unpublished work of Liu and Stephenson ([25]). But thanks to the efforts of Dershowitz and Reingold ([11]), correct information and computer programs are now easily available.

  • Chinese Public Diplomacy: the Rise of the Confucius Institute / Falk Hartig
    Chinese Public Diplomacy This book presents the first comprehensive analysis of Confucius Institutes (CIs), situating them as a tool of public diplomacy in the broader context of China’s foreign affairs. The study establishes the concept of public diplomacy as the theoretical framework for analysing CIs. By applying this frame to in- depth case studies of CIs in Europe and Oceania, it provides in-depth knowledge of the structure and organisation of CIs, their activities and audiences, as well as problems, chal- lenges and potentials. In addition to examining CIs as the most prominent and most controversial tool of China’s charm offensive, this book also explains what the structural configuration of these Institutes can tell us about China’s under- standing of and approaches towards public diplomacy. The study demonstrates that, in contrast to their international counterparts, CIs are normally organised as joint ventures between international and Chinese partners in the field of educa- tion or cultural exchange. From this unique setting a more fundamental observa- tion can be made, namely China’s willingness to engage and cooperate with foreigners in the context of public diplomacy. Overall, the author argues that by utilising the current global fascination with Chinese language and culture, the Chinese government has found interested and willing international partners to co- finance the CIs and thus partially fund China’s international charm offensive. This book will be of much interest to students of public diplomacy, Chinese politics, foreign policy and international relations in general. Falk Hartig is a post-doctoral researcher at Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, and has a PhD in Media & Communication from Queensland Univer- sity of Technology, Australia.

Using the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX), the significance of Solar terms the solar term effect was tested. Statistical results showed that the lowest and the highest average stock Taiwan stock market returns are observed on Cold Dew and White Dew, respectively. Additionally, we found that all of the solar terms with negative average stock returns occurred during the period of Grain Fills to Winter Solstice. Although many investors believe that the solar term effect exists in the Taiwan stock market, the results of this study appear to show that the solar term effect is a mere superstition.

  • 1 Background
    The Influences of Phenology on the Order of 24 Solar Terms in Ancient China XIN Jia-dai, CHEN Yi-wen, QU An-jing （Institute for Advanced Study in History of Science, Northwest University, Xi’an, China） Abstract The 24 solar terms is an important part of the traditional Chinese calendar system. However, when studying the existing historical literature which contains the 24 solar terms, we find that, as dynasty altered, its name and order changed. Scholars commenced discussing the reasons of these changes from the Eastern Han 東漢 dynasty (A.D. 25—220), but it has still not been solved. In this paper, by analyzing the viewpoints of ancient scholars on this topic, we try to find out the reasons why they didn’t break through. Based on these reasons, then we discriminate the editions of Yizhoushu·Shixunjie (逸周書·時訓解) and Huainanzi·Tianwenxun (淮南子·天文訓), the relations of Waking from hibernation (Qizhe 啓蟄) and Excited insects (Jingzhe 驚蟄), as well as tease out the evolution process of the names and orders of “Rainwater (Yushui 雨水) and Excited Insects”, “Grain rains (Guyu 榖雨) and Pure and bright (Qingming 清明)” recorded in the literature of the 24 solar terms. From the above we can come to the conclusion that the 24 solar terms has been changed four times in ancient China, and reveal that the order of solar terms is related to phenology, but it is not completely determined by the order of corresponding to phenology. Keywords the order of 24 solar terms, Waking from hibernation, Excited insects, phenology When studying the ancient Chinese calendars, we find that the names and orders of 24 solar terms recorded in the existing calendars were not uniform.
