Remark

Four calendar systems were used in the dynasties in the North. At the beginning of the Liao (a.k.a Khitan) dynasty, the Tiáoyuán astronomical system was used for calendar calculation until 994 when it was replaced by the Dàmíng system. This Dàmíng system was created by Jiǎ Jùn (賈俊), which was different from the Dàmíng system created by Zǔ Chōngzhī (祖沖之) several hundred years earlier. After the Jin dynasty (established by the Jurchen people) replaced Liao in 1125, a new calendar based on another Dàmíng system (created by Yáng Jí 楊級) was adopted in 1137. The astronomical system was found to be inaccurate in predicting several eclipses and so was revised by Zhào Zhīwēi (趙知微) in 1182 and was in use even after the Mongols conquered Jin in 1234. It was replaced by the Shòushí system in 1281. By contrast, more than 20 astronomical systems, which will not be listed here, were used for calendar computation in the dynasties in the South in this 333-year period!

The data here are taken directly from Appendix 4 of the book 3500 Years of Calendars and Astronomical PhenomenaZhang. The preface of the book says that the data are based on the book Lì Dài Cháng Shù Jí Yào(《歷代長術輯要》, which may be roughly translated to Compilation of Historical Calendars) edited by the 19th century Chinese mathematician Wāng Yuēzhēn (汪曰楨). The Tiáoyuán system and Jiǎ's Dàmíng system were not preserved. When the 14th century historians wrote the chapters on calendrical astronomy in the book History of Liao, they didn't have the information on Jiǎ's Dàmíng system and thought that it was the same as Zǔ Chōngzhī's Dàmíng system. They then copied the description of Zǔ's Dàmíng system from an earlier historical record! To deal with the missing systems, Wāng reconstructed the calendars using systems that he thought were similar to the missing ones. In particular, he replaced the Tiáoyuán system by the Xuānmíng system, Jiǎ's Dàmíng system by Zhào Zhīwēi's revised Dàmíng system and then adjusted the leap months to be consistent with the records in History of Liao. Some scholars don't agree with his treatmentQiu.

Appendix 4 of 3500 Years of Calendars and Astronomical Phenomena does not provide information on the dates of the 24 solar terms for the calendars in the northern states. It's easy to compute the solar terms for the revised Dàmíng system since all the required information is given in the book History of Jin. However, not much information is given on Yáng's Dàmíng system, but we can fill in the missing data using the revised Dàmíng system. As for Jiǎ's Dàmíng system, History of Liao records that the astronomer in charge of the imperial astronomical bureau in the Song dynasty was asked to compare the differences in the calendars between the Song, Liao, Korea and Japan in the twelfth month of the Song's calendar in 1078 (corresponding to January, 1079). It was found that in the year 1079, Liao's calendrical conjunctions and solar terms were consistent with those calculated using the Xuānmíng system. In addition, Wāng Yuēzhēn reported mismatches of the lunar conjunctions and solar terms between the Liao calendar and his reconstructed calendar. Yán Dūnjié (嚴敦傑) studied 12 of the mismatches and found that 11 of them matched the calculation using the Xuānmíng systemYan. These suggest that Jiǎ's Dàmíng system is closer to the Xuānmíng system and the two systems may be related.

Before 1645, Chinese calendars used pínqì to define solar terms, which only takes into account the mean motion of the Sun. The leap month was determined by the no zhōngqì rule, i.e. a leap month was a month that did not contain a major solar term (see solar term page). Under this rule, there was a one-to-one relationship between the month numbers and major solar terms: month 1 must contain Z1, month 2 must contain Z2 and so on. I used the Xuānmíng system to compute the major solar terms in 947-1136 and then compared with the calendrical conjunctions given in Appendix 4 of 3500 Years of Calendars and Astronomical Phenomena. I found that 18 major solar terms were outside their associated months, with 12 of them in 1088 and later. When I used the revised Dàmíng system to do the same calculation in this period, I found 25 major solar terms outside their associated months, all of them occurring before 1081. When I used the revised Dàmíng system to do the calculation in 1137-1279, I found that all major solar terms were within their associated months, suggesting that my solar term computation is compatible with the calendrical conjunctions. To remove the discrepancies between the solar terms and calendrical conjunctions in the calendar page, I use the Xuānmíng system to calculate the calendrical solar terms for the Liao dynasty in 947-1185, and the revised Dàmíng system in 1186-1279 for the Liao, Jin and Yuan (a.k.a. the Mongol empire) dynasties. There are now only 6 major solar terms outside their associated months and I manually adjust them so that they are consistent with the calendrical conjunctions. This treatment of course does not guarantee that the calendrical solar terms in 947-1136 agree exactly with the calendars used in this period, but since the astronomical systems used for the calculation are lost they are probably better than nothing.
