Talk:Chinese astronomy

message: I know very little about this subject. I tried to expand the article but it still needs attention. Especially something needs to be said about astronomy in modern China. I know there are active observatories and programs but that's it. Katherine Tredwell 20:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Chinese used a lunisolar calendar, but because the cycles of the Sun and the Moon are different, astronomers often prepared new calendars and made observations for that purpose."
Besides this astronomers had to prepare a new calendar after the fall of the old dynasty. Calendar in ancient China was considered to be the symbol of the dynasty.
I've cleaned this document up a bit, fixing grammatical errors here and there, and have added new information to 'beef it up'. However, this article is far from finished, and I will dedicate some more time soon in getting some worthy passages from Joseph Needham and the like.
Yours truly,

thread_title:  Amateur astronomy in China 

message: In the 8th century BC topic it states:
*780 BC: The first historic solar eclipse is recorded in China
Is this correct, as I don't see any mention of it in this topic? Terry Macro (talk) 02:20, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

message: In addition the cited book, Needham also has a good overview in
:"Astronomy in Ancient and Medieval China"
that can be used to expand some points. Similarly, George Wong's
:"China's Opposition to Western Science during Late Ming and Early Ch'ing"
presents a good overview of some of the mandarins who opposed Jesuit astronomers and their reasons for doing so, even in the face of patently superior results. — LlywelynII 06:55, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
