Astronomical and calendar records of oracle bone inscriptions

The astronomical and calendar records of oracle bone inscriptions are a testament to ancient Chinese wisdom. They not only document astronomical phenomena such as solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and stellar positions, but also reveal the complex calendrical system adopted by ancient China, including the combination of lunar and solar calendars and the division of the year into twenty-four solar terms. These records played a crucial role in guiding ancient agricultural production, helping ancients determine the best times for sowing and harvesting, thereby ensuring the stability and prosperity of agricultural output.
