摘要
《天学真原》一书中，通过对《尚书·尧典》等著作的剖析，认为中国古代历法从尧的时代（约公元前2200年前后）起主要就不是为农业生产服务的，而是用于“安排统治阶级的重大政治事务日程”。通过几方面的分析，对这一见解提出了截然相反的看法，希望引起进一步的学术讨论。
From his thorough study of The Book of History: Yao's Story (《尚书·尧典》)etc, the author of The Truth of Astronomy and Astrology in Ancient China (《天学真原》) got his opinion that starting from the Yao's era (around 2200 B. C. ) the ancient Chinese calendar was no longer made for farming, but was made 'to arrange the govemors' important political agenda'. The following essay studies this question from sevend different points of view and gives out author conclusion contrary to the above opinion. I hope that will lead to further academic discussion.
