Astronomical Data Collection And Study Of The Yin Ruins Inscriptions,

This article mainly sorts out and studies the registers of astronomical phenomena in oracle bone inscriptions from the angle of ancient writing.The article consists of four parts:Chapter One identifies the records of solar and lunar eclipses in oracle bone inscriptions, affirming the five records of lunar eclipse in bin group(宾组), denying the views of san yan shi ri (三 焰食日) also discussing the gui you ri yue you shi (癸酉日月又 食)and ri you zhi(日又戠) in li group(历组). We consider the gui you ri you shi (癸酉日又食) is a true record, having the value of calculation. We adopt the viewpoint of Mr Chenjian(陈剑), thinking zhi(戠) is the change of the sun or the moon.Chapter Two differentiates the usages of oo (jing 晶) and (xing 星), considering jing(晶) in oracle bone inscriptions stands for the meaning of stars, while xing(星) standing for the meaning of fine weather. Some scholars think that the oracle bone inscriptions of xing(星) are the registers of celestial phenomena , we think they are wrong. Then we research the registers of comet in oracle bone inscriptions, the examples of some scholars illustrated the registers of comet in the past are trustlessly . At present we don' t discover the explicit registers of comet in oracle bone inscriptions. At last, we discern that whether there were registers of years (岁星) in oracle bone inscriptions and oppugn some registers of years (岁星).Chapter Three regulates the registers of 28 constellations in oracle bone inscriptions, thinking that there are someincredulous views in some scholar' s standpoints. They made some mistakes in the aspects of textual research the meanings and the examples. The confirmable objects of feted 28 constellations in oracle bone inscriptions are only 大火 (includes 心) and Charles's Wain(北斗).Chapter Four analyzes the oracle bone inscriptions of yuebidou(月比斗) brought forward by Mr Yao Xiaosui (姚孝遂). We think this contents are the sacrifice to Charles's Wain(北斗) having nothing to do with yuefandou(月犯斗)...
