随州孔家坡汉简《历日》及其年代

The liri of Kongjiapo Bamboo Scripts of Han Period and a discussion on its Dating

孔家坡汉简《历日》的编排方式为此前出土历谱所未见,以最少文字排出全年历日并最大限度保证同月干支与其月名在同一栏。根据简文记载的立春和朔日干支,对照本文推算的《颛顼历》立春数据表,可唯一确定历谱年代为公元前142年,汉景帝后元二年。

The arrangement of the Liri （Calendar） written on the Kongjiapo Bamboo Slips of Han period has an unique and unprecedented form in which the author used the minimal characters to list out all the dates within a year as well as putting all the Chinese Sexagenary Cycle （干支; ganzi） of the same month within the same column. This is never been seen in any excavated calendar slips before. The script written on the Calendar mentions the Lichun （立春; the first solar term, literally mean the Start of Spring） and the Chuyi （初一; the first day of each lunar month）, therefore it indicates that the dating of those slips is written in 142 B.C., which could be proved with a reference to the LiChun written, in Zhuanxu Li （Zhuanxu Calendar）.
