摘要
《逸周书》和《左传》记载,东夷民族已有了以鸟名为官名的天文历法官员,《尚书·尧典》记载了当时的天文历法,能确定二分二至.大汶口文化出土的陶文为上述文献记载提供了证据,说明当时已用日出方向确定春分,用测量日影确定二至.对遗址的实际测量,发现了陶文的天文意义.我国天文历法产生的年代,可追溯到5000a前,东夷民族天文学,是当时诸民族中较先进的天文学.
'Yizhoushu' and 'Zuozhuan' recorded the astronomical officials with the bird's name in prehistoric social system of the Dongyi nationality. 'Shangshu·Yaodian' wrote that there had been the astronomical calendar in that time and they were able to determine equinoctial points and solstices. The inscriptions on the pottery jars of Dawenkou Culture corresponded with these historical documents. The Dongyi people could determine the equinox by the direction of sunrise and the solstices by the shadow of the sun. The astronomical calendar was made up about 5000 years ago in China. Dongyi was more advanced in astronomy than other nationalities in China.
