The last phrase, the one in parenthesis, is intriguing. I was so taken with an article by Roger Ashton61 that I promptly responded62 and in my response offered some ideas that took in the strange relationship with major changes to the calendar suggested by Ashton. I proposed that changes to the calendar were made on cycles relating to whole or half periods of 128 years. In addition to those quoted in the response to Ashton I now add this one.

There are nine periods of sixty-four years between 687 BC and 110 BC. This date is year two of the emperor who changed the calendar. This action, coupled with the errors now foisted onto the otherwise very accurate Chinese astronomers, seems to indicate heavenly chaos.

The Emperor who “organised” the chaos was the Yellow Emperor, otherwise Huang-Ti. Of him scholarship has this to say, see http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/gem-projects/hm/Chinese_Calendar.pdf.

“The first calendar, according to the Shih-chi or Historical Records written about 90 B.C., is attributed to Huang-ti or the Yellow Emperor, 2697 B.C., who orders the study of the stars by the astronomers at his court.”
