The aim of this paper is to apply interdisciplinary ideas and mathematical methods to restore the long lost book-The Record of Sunrise and Sunset in The Tong Yuan Calendar. According to The Song Dynasty History-The Record of Art and Literature, this book records the methods such as the uses of the constant, dial and water dropping to calculate the times for sunrise and sunset, which regulate everyday life during that time. However, the book is long lost. Therefore, this paper, with an ambition, attempts to restore the similar record in the book by re-setting up its formula with modern mathematical methods. By doing so, we can make the long lost timetables an accountable source for the study of the Song's Calendar. |
