吐鲁番新出《高昌延寿七年历日》考

Some Notes on the " Calendar of the 7th Year of the Yanshou Reign of Gaochang"

另外,本期刊发的邓文宽的文章,对1986年出土的迄今所见唯一的高昌王朝历书实物《高昌延寿七年历日》残片进行了研究,并将全年384天(含闰月)的干支予以复原。熊文彬的文章对西藏夏鲁寺集会大殿回廊壁画内容及大量题记进行了研究,认为这些壁画、题记均是元代的作品。

The fragment is the sole tangible sample of the Gaochang kingdom calendar. The original calendar was cut into a shoe pattern, of which only the sole part hasbeen left. It includes ganzhi(sexagenery circle)over a period of seventy—one days,and Zhonggi(solar terms)over a period of ten months. After the author's careful study,the exact year of the calendar is found out,with ganzhi of the whole year of 384 days reconstructed. The discovery supports the hypothesis made by the late Prof. Li Zheng that the Gaochang kingdom had its own calendar. An interesting fact about this calendar is that while written on paper, it adopted the arrangement of the Han calendar inscribed on wooden or bamboo slips, which seems fo be a necessary link of the whole developmental chain of Chinese calendar. So, discovery and study of this fragment not only provide the Chinese calendar history with new materials,but shed new light on the history of the Gaochang kingdom.
