Astronomy in the Xia-Shang-Zhou Chronology Project
Abstract
The Xia-Shang-Zhou Chronology Project was undertaken in order to set up a chronological framework for the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties in early China. There are 12 Working Groups involved in the Project that focus specifically on ancient astronomical records. Some of these have already reached precise chronological conclusions that have been generally accepted.
