布朗族的天文历法知识刍议

布朗族使用傣历（祖葛历），以月份结合物候变化指导生产，生活中使用７ｄ（天）为１轮的纪日制度，并将７个日名赋予不同寓意。这种状况可能距今只有２００余年的历史，在此以前的历法，由于没有文字记录而被完全淡忘了，但从其先民的崖画和口头流传的传说中，有阴阳并重、同时崇拜太阳和月亮的内容看，是处于阴阳合历初期的“物候历”，其内容应与佤族（清朝时分化）的阴阳历相似。

A Discussion of the Astronomy Calender of the Bulang Nationality

The Bulang nationality uses Dai Calender (also called Zuge Calendar),which is according to the calender months and the change of creatures and climate to guide the production of crops,and the system of seven days is used as a circle to record time and give the name of each day in the circle.Such situation may have continued only a little more than two hundred years,As the absence of written record,the calender the Bulang nationality used before such time had been forgotten.But the drawing on cliffs made by their ancestors and the tales handed down by oral show that their ancestors worshipped both the sun and the moon,which had the same importance to them.According to this at that time they must have been using the creature and climate calendar formed at the beginning time that the solar calendar and lunar calendar merged together.And such calendar should have the same contents as the lunisolar calendar of the Wa nationality.
