| Abstract: | Astronomical records are an important part in Chinese official historical books. Their main purpose was for astrology and they are an obstacle for historians who read those books.With modern astronomical method, we can compute and examine most of those ancient records.By compchng the computed results with the original texts. we can examine the texts,find their mistakes,study their observation method and regulation,inspect astological theory,take a deeper understanding to those important historical materials. As an example,we dealt with the astronomical records of Dynasties Liang and Chen for 60 years in ,the official history of Dynasty Sui. We also synthesized other historical sources in addition to the astronomical computation. On the other hand, we tried our best to find the scientific explanation to the ancient terms. |
