This book is a history of the development of mathematical astronomy in China, from the late third century BCE, to the early 3rd century CE – a period often referred to as ‘early imperial China’. It narrates the changes in ways of understanding the movements of the heavens and the heavenly bodies that took place during those four and a half centuries, and tells the stories of the institutions and innaviduals involved in those changes. It gives clear explanations of
technical practice in observation, instrumentation, and calculation, and the steady accumulation of data over many years – but it centres on the activity of the innavidual human beings who observed the
heavens, recorded what they saw, and made calculations to analyse and eventually make predictions about the motions of the celestial bodies. It is these innaviduals, their observations, their calculations, and the words they left to us that provide the narrative thread that runs through this work. Throughout the book, the author gives clear translations of original material that allow the reader direct access to what the people in this book said about
themselves and what they tried to do.
