In the study of the wooden slips which was published in 1960, I denoted some ideas based on the records of the Han Dynasty and the research on the Han sun-dial by Professor Liu Fu (劉復). Some seven years later I have made a new revision of the edition contained in Chü-yen Han chien K'ao-cheng. An article by Mr. Chen Meng-chia (陳夢家) entitled ''A Reconstruction of the Han Dynasty Calendar Based on the Han Slips'' was published in K'ao-ku Hsio-pao, nos. 1-2, 1965. Certainly he has the right of his presentation, particularly, since he worked on the article for such a long time. But his basic thesis is that the Han division of time was divided into eighteen units perday. I find it extremely difficult to agree with his opinion In the following I would like to prove that each day was divided into twelve units. |
