Chapter 8 The Great Calendar
Just as I was thinking about what the enemy would arrange in the middle of the day, a very questioning voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Brother Ting, are you too careful?"
I looked at it, and I was surprised to find that it was not Yi He, who had an awkward relationship with Chunting, who raised the question, but Ling Xuan, who had always had great trust in Chunting.
"Brother Ting, if the other party chose to take action on Zhongyuan Day because the local officials forgave their sins on Zhongyuan Day and hundreds of ghosts traveled at night, resulting in a weak yin and yang barrier, then why did they have to choose this year's Zhongyuan Day?"
"If the relationship between Zhongyuan Day is important, and the other party must have premeditated it, then every year on Zhongyuan Day may be the time for them to make a move, why must it be this year, Brother Ting, are you too worried?"
Hearing Ling Xuan's reasoned and well-founded analysis, I couldn't help but nod my head and look at the Spring Pavilion that was not looking back in front of me.
Ling Xuan was right, if the other party was really the Demon Ancestor Luo Hu who was born in the Chaos Period, then he had already been planning for thousands of years to bring the world back to Chaos, how could he deliberately choose this year's Zhongyuan Day, was it just to give us a chance to smash his plan?
"If it is the day of the Middle Yuan in previous years, even if the ghost gate is wide open on that day, and the yin and yang barrier becomes weak, but because of the maintenance of the local officials, there will be no problems."
Hearing Ling Xuan's question, Chun Ting sighed, and the whole person looked worried.
"But this year is different from previous years, if they really want to use the Mid-Yuan Day to accomplish some unknown purposes, then this year is the best time for them."
Speaking of this, Chunting paused slightly, and he looked at the blankness on our faces in the rearview mirror before continuing.
"Have you heard of the Great Calendar?"
I also learned about the Great Yan Calendar mentioned in Chunting's mouth, and it was a different calendar from the one used now, but although I had a vague impression, I couldn't think of any useful information.
"The Great Calendar?"
Unlike my dazedness, Yi He was shocked when he heard what Chunting said, and it seemed that he had studied the so-called Great Yan Calendar.
"The Great Yan Calendar, also known as the Kaiyuan Great Yan Calendar, is rumored to be done by the Tang Dynasty monks and his line, the legend of the line of measurement of latitude in various places, south to Jiaozhou and north of Tiele, and step nine sundials, set the eclipse fraction of each place, re-measure to see the stars move, after fifteen years to complete, and therefore the calendar is based on the number of "Yi" like the Great Yan, so it is named the Great Yan calendar."
"Good."
Chun Ting nodded slightly, and it could be seen from his reaction that what Yi He said was good.
"The Great Calendar is divided into seven chapters, which include not only the peaceful and peaceful qi and the seventy-two seasons, but also the daily positions and movements of the sun and the moon, the astrological signs and day and night times seen every day, and even mention the solar eclipses, lunar eclipses and the positions of the five planets."
Hearing that Chun Ting did not deny his statement, Yi He obviously had the spirit, and talked eloquently to me and Ling Xuan, who were still at a loss.
"On the basis of Liang Lingzan and Nangong Shuo's observation data, the Great Yan Calendar was compiled on the basis of the observation data, and there were few calendars in the world at that time that had been made up after such full preparation, so the Great Yan Calendar was called the crown of the Tang Calendar, and it was a cultural treasure handed down from ancient times in China."
"So that's the case, it seems that this line of work is really a strange person."
Hearing their explanations, I nodded thoughtfully, but I still felt confused.
"Chunting, even if this Great Calendar is the crystallization of the wisdom of the people of ancient times, what does this have to do with us?"
"It's a lot of stakes."
Chunting's tone remained unchanged, and his answer to me was still so concise and to the point.
"The Great Yan calendar is derived from the Zhou Yizhong's 'the number of the Great Yan is fifty, and it uses forty to nine', which is not only a calendar of the year, but also an exploration of the ancients between heaven and earth."
"The calendar is based on eight years as a compilation cycle, according to the number of yin and yang, the so-called intersection of heaven and earth is the intersection of yin and yang, the intersection of yin and yang is the intersection of water and fire, the two are yin and yang together, so take the sum of the even number for the great yan."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt Chunting and asked him with some suspicion.
"Wait Chunting, why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, does this really have anything to do with us?"
Chunting seemed to have expected such a reaction, his expression did not change in the slightest, but his mouth suddenly changed the topic.
"In that case, let's talk about something else, what year is it?"
Before I had time to react to Chunting's sudden change of topic, Yi He blurted out directly.
"This year is the year of the Lunar New Year."
Seeing that Chunting had no intention of refutating, Yi He knew that his answer did not disappoint him, so he continued.
"The year of Guihai is one of the sixty Jiazi of the Ganzhi Chronology, and at the same time, this year is also the last year of the first Jiazi, and it belongs to the great sea of the five elements of Nayin together with the year of Renxu."
Hearing Yi He's answer, Chunting actually introduced us with great interest the so-called Guihai year and Ganzhi year.
"The Ganzhi chronology method is a chronological method that has been used in China since ancient times, in which the Ganzhi is the general name of the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, and the ancients matched the order of the Ganzhi exactly 60 for a week, and the cycle is repeated, and the cycle is recorded, which is commonly known as the Ganzhi table."
"The Ganzhi Chronology can be pushed up and down the historical time, backward and backward, so that it is infinite, and even someone has designed a starting point to open up the world on this basis, because we are still using the Ganzhi Chronology, so it can be called one of the greatest discoveries of the ancients."
Hearing this, Yi He suddenly waved his hand at Chunting, his expression full of impatience.
"Okay Chunting, let's say something useful, everyone knows the year of this Ganzhi, and you don't need to introduce it to us in such detail."
Chun Ting didn't care about Yi He's sudden interruption, he just glanced at Yi He who was full of impatience from the rearview mirror, and his tone was quite disdainful.
"If you are as impetuous, you are destined to be a big deal."
Before Yi and the exit could refute, Chunting continued.
"You yourself just said that this year is the year of Guihai, and the year of Guihai is the last year of Yijiazi, and the Ganzhi year repeats itself and never stops, which means that as long as this year passes, next year will be the next Jiazi, and it will be a new beginning."
Because of Chunting's evaluation just now, Yi He listened to what he said with a displeased face, and after hearing this, he seemed to have some understanding, his expression slowly became serious, and he suddenly interrupted Chunting's speech.
"Could it be that the problem is not in the day of the Middle Yuan, but in the Three Yuan Nine Fortunes?"
