Xia Xiaozheng is a work of the Xia Dynasty in my country about what?

It is the earliest existing work on phenological knowledge in China.

Xia Xiaozheng is said to be the Shang Dynasty surviving astrology, phenological phenomena and their agricultural almanacs, everyone knows Zhou, Chinese ancient Chinese are particularly ancient and obscure, a word or word is likely to use a whole or more text of modern Chinese grammar to interpret, and because the period is too long, the historical records are mixed with modern and ancient, for "Xia Xiaozheng", a historical material of only more than 400 words, the same is true. Nowadays, according to archaeological discoveries, the historical context of the three periods of ancient China, the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Yin Shang and Zhou dynasties, has obtained a relatively consistent consensus in many aspects, at least in many aspects, such as the main vein of the imperial dynasty, because of new archaeological discoveries and written accounts.

Xia Xiaozheng is a relatively rare and intuitive historical account of the Shang Dynasty, and it is of great significance to study the Shang Dynasty, but it is difficult to determine the existence of the Shang Dynasty just by relying on the book of more than 400 words of Xia Xiaozheng. However, from another point of view, the mutual proof between Xia Xiaozheng and other historical materials can at least confirm to a certain extent that there was a rapidly developing civilization before the Shang and Zhou periods.

Xia Xiaozheng's original "scriptures" and "biography" were established separately. The "Xia Xiaozheng" included in "Da Dai Li" is also mixed together with "classics", which is probably the main reason why Ban Gu attributes it to the "Record" of "Art and Culture Journal". After the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of annotators of "Xia Xiaozheng"; Similarly, there are many commentaries on the "Great Dai Li".

This makes whether it is from the Song Dynasty's "Xia Xiaozheng", which has a physical book of Guan Hu, or the text in "Da Dai Li", He "Jing" and "Biography" become more and more complicated.

From the words of the first sullen eggplant bones, the overview of the lunar calendar of the Shang Dynasty can be seen as seven, seven, eighty, eight. Although there are still different opinions on what is meant by the "New Year", the month after the beginning of autumn is the original "New Year", which has been approved by most experts and scholars. From the perspective of linguistics and philology, Xia Xiaozheng is simple and concise, and compared with the "Shangshu" such as "Yaodian", it can be known that it must not appear earlier than "Yaodian" and so on, but is very close to the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the Han Dynasty standard characters.

I think so, because the book does write about how the Xia Dynasty observed astronomy, and there is a very symbolic oracle bone script of the Xia Dynasty.

It can be regarded as evidence that no cultural relics about the Xia Dynasty have been unearthed so far, so whether "Xia Xiaozheng" was written in the Xia Dynasty is of great significance.

In the early days of the book "Xia Xiaozheng", it was not called this name, but was called "Xiaozheng" in many works. For example, "Hong doesn't have to be the deceased of Xiaozheng". The Book of Rites and Rites of Fortune records Confucius Yun:

I want to look at the summer road, it is the reason for it, and the Qing clan is not enough to sign, I have to be in the summer." Zheng Xuan's "Note" said: "The book of the four seasons of Xia, its book has "Xiaozheng" "From this, it can be seen that in the early days of "Xia Xiaozheng", many people called it "Xiaozheng".

In fact, there are different opinions about the age when "Xia Xiaozheng" was written. Until now, there has been no unified recognition in the academic community.

Xia Xiao Jian Jizheng is one of the earliest agricultural calendar books in China, with a total of 463 characters. Its appearance shows that people at that time have learned to apply the knowledge of natural climate to agricultural production. So can "Xia Xiaozheng" be used as evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty?

I think the answer is no.

In the early days, Xia Xiaozheng was not called by this name, but was called "Xiaozheng" in many works. For example, "Hong doesn't have to be the deceased of Xiaozheng". The Book of Rites and Rites of Fortune records Confucius Yun:

I want to look at the summer road, it is the reason for it, and it is not enough to sign, I have to be in the summer." Zheng Xuan's "Note" said: "The book of the four seasons of summer, its book has "Xiaozheng".

It can be seen that in the early days of "Xia Xiaozheng", many people called it "Xiaozheng". In fact, there are different opinions about the age when "Xia Xiaozheng" was written. Until now, there has been no unified recognition in the academic community.

Whether the Xia Dynasty really existed has always been controversial in academic circles. According to archaeological discoveries and written records, the historical context of the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty is relatively clear, and at least in all aspects of the development of the dynasties, it has been generally recognized.

However, for the Xia Dynasty, even whether it exists has to be marked with a question mark. Some historians have also denied the existence of the Xia Dynasty, which has caused confusion in the academic community. Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the Xia Dynasty is a mythical existence.

In other words, whether the Xia Dynasty really existed is not the scope of this article, but it cannot simply be used as evidence of the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

However, on the other hand, the mutual corroboration of Xia Xiaozheng and other historical materials can at least show that there was a highly developed dynasty before the Shang and Zhou dynasties. As for whether it is the Xia Dynasty or not, it cannot be verified from this book.

I don't think there is any historical basis, and there is no proof of his existence, that can prove his authenticity, so it cannot be used as evidence. Taipi Sun Zi is too taken out of context, burning and may lead to changes in Kai and history, so it cannot be believed at will.

I think it's okay, because it is full of some legal codes of the Xia Dynasty, and it also mentions who the monarch of the Xia Dynasty was and when it existed.

No; Because the author of this book has no way to verify it, there are different theories as to when he began to exist.

Now Xia Xiaozheng has evolved into a 12-month year, and according to the order of each month, he will record the stars, the moon, and the agricultural work that needs to be done. There are also records of the changes of the Big Dipper, as well as the now known "Vega", but the 28 nakshatras have not yet been recorded.

"Xia Xiaozheng" was first seen in the Han Dynasty's Dai De's "Da Dai Li Ji", but this does not mean that the dynasty to which "Xia Xiaozheng" belongs, in fact, has "Xia Xiaozheng" as early as "Historical Records". It is recorded in many books that Xia Xiaozheng is sometimes called Xiaozheng, but why do you add the word "Xia" in front of Xiaozheng today, which shows that this book is inextricably linked with the Xia Dynasty, and most of its content is related to the Xia Dynasty.

In general, "Xia Xiaozheng" has important research significance for the existence of the Xia Dynasty, and the clues in it all indicate the existence of the Xia Dynasty, but only such a book cannot be fully proved, and more evidence is needed.

"Xia Xiaozheng" is an almanac about astrology, phenology and agricultural affairs preserved by the Xia Dynasty, and it is the experience summarized by the people of the Xia Dynasty according to their daily life, and the history book of the Xia Dynasty.

"Xia Xiaozheng" is one of the earliest existing agricultural almanacs in China, most of which are recorded in agricultural affairs and have nothing to do with the Xia Dynasty.

"Xia Xiaozheng" is rumored to be a book about astrology, phenology and lunar calendar left by the Xia Dynasty, the relationship between "Xia Xiaozheng" and the Xia Dynasty It is very rare to survive the relatively intuitive historical records of the Xia Dynasty, but only more than 400 words still cannot prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty.

Xia Xiaozheng is a book, and it is the earliest surviving almanac dedicated to recording traditional farming.

Xia Xiaozheng is an almanac about agricultural affairs, explaining the advanced level of agricultural development in the Qin Dynasty at that time, which also contains some astronomical knowledge, which played a very important role in the later agricultural development, and this book has nothing to do with the Xia Dynasty.

The oldest almanac in China is said to be Xia Xiaozheng in the Xia Dynasty, which records the knowledge of humanoid eggplants to determine the agricultural seasons by observing celestial phenomena and phenology. It was originally included in the "Great Dai Li Ji" by Dai De, a scholar of etiquette at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and was later circulated separately into a book of divination and chicha.

According to research, the text of "Xia Xiaozheng" is only more than 400 words. As far as astronomical knowledge is concerned, it describes the astrological signs of each month in the order of 12 months, such as the stars that appear in the south in the morning and dusk, the pointing of the Beidan clan's bucket handle, the position of the Milky Way in the sky, and where the sun has arrived among the stars.

In addition, "Xia Xiaozheng" also has monthly meteorology, phenology, and agricultural and political activities that should be done. For example: New Year's Month, the ...... of the startJu then sees, in the middle of the early dusk, the bucket handle hangs below.

Here "Ju" and "Sen" are both star names, and "bucket handle" is the spoon-shaped handle formed by the Big Dipper. According to the celestial phenomena and other conditions reflected in the book "Xia Xiaozheng", it shows that China does have information from earlier times.

"Xia Xiaozheng" is the earliest calendar to record agricultural affairs, and as for his author, there is no news for a long time.

The author of "Xia Xiaozheng" is now impossible to verify due to his age. In fact, this book can be said to be the earliest existing almanac in China that records the agriculture of the pre-Qin period.

However, the timing of the completion of this book remains a mystery to this day.

Some scholars believe that this book was written during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, while others believe that it was the calendar of the Xia Dynasty. So, what kind of past does this book have, please see the following breakdown;

First, about the name of "Xia Xiaozheng"**!

In fact, the book "Xia Xiaozheng", at the beginning, was not called this name at all.

In this book, it calls itself "Xiaozheng". It's just that when later generations got this book, they felt that it might have a lot to do with the Xia Dynasty. even thinks that it is the calendar of the Xia Dynasty, so it will be renamed "Xia Xiaozheng".

Of course, whether this book is a product of the Xia Dynasty or not has not yet been determined.

Second, about the history of "Xia Xiaozheng"!

In the chapter "The Book of Rites and Rites", it is recorded: "Confucius said, I want to observe the summer road, but it is because of the reason and not enough to recruit, and I have to be in the summer." ”

In this passage, Confucius said that he wanted to investigate the statecraft of the Xia Dynasty, but he could not find any verification in the Qi state established by the Huaxia people. In the end, what he got was a almanac of the Xia Dynasty.

And this book, when it was in the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian believed that the summer time that Confucius said at that time was the legendary "Xia Xiaozheng". It is understood that after the fall of the Xia Dynasty, "Xia Xiaozheng" gradually disappeared in the long river of history with the footsteps of the Xia Dynasty. It wasn't until later that Confucius stumbled upon the book and brought it back to life.

Third, the relationship between "Xia Xiaozheng" and the lunar calendar!

In fact, the book "Xia Xiaozheng" is only a little more than 400 words. But although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

In "Xia Xiaozheng", the record of the stars is particularly detailed. According to the book, they observed the coordinates of the sun, moon and stars, and then made a calendar, and this calendar was later called the "ancient summer calendar".

Since the summer calendar is relatively scientific, it is especially in line with the changes of the four seasons of the year. Moreover, for the development of agriculture, the practicality is relatively high. Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period, after Confucius got this "Xia Xiaozheng", he has always advocated the restoration of the "Xia calendar".

After that, even if the dynasty changed, everyone always used the summer calendar. It was not until after the Xinhai Revolution that the national ** began to use the Western calendar, and at this time, the summer calendar and the Western calendar were used at the same time, and we have today's lunar calendar.

Finally, to sum up.

Although "Xia Xiaozheng" has no way to prove whether it is a product of the Xia Dynasty. After all, it is still a mystery whether the Xia Dynasty exists now. It's just that "Xia Xiaozheng", to a certain extent, has a certain significance to our study of the Xia Dynasty.

And, think about it the other way around.

From this book, I can also deduce. It may be that on our continent, there must exist, a civilization that is no less than the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Although I don't know if this civilization is just the Xia Dynasty.

However, I have to say that if you can write such an excellent book, then this civilization must be very powerful.

I don't know exactly what this is, and no one knows.

The book is so old that information about its author is no longer available.

I think these calendars have been handed down from ancient times, and there is no specific record.

Xia Xiaozheng is a phenological book of the oldest surviving system in China. It has a lot of knowledge of calendars and phenology, reflecting the actual situation and level of understanding between the Xia Dynasty and the Xia and Shang dynasties, but its final book was later than that of the Shang Dynasty. The whole book is not ruined to 400 words, but the content is quite rich.
