Description

Explore the hidden history of ancient Chinese divination with Chinese Mathematical Astrology: Reaching Out to the Stars. Part of the esteemed Needham Research Institute Series, this book provides a deep look into the sophisticated devices used by the Chinese Astronomical Bureau starting in the eleventh century. While many works discuss Chinese divination, this text is unique in its focus on the three specific methods known as sanshi, or the three cosmic boards. These methods were used for centuries to predict weather patterns and interpret human affairs. For a long time, these techniques remained largely unknown to the outside world due to a veil of secrecy surrounding their use. As the first work in any language to explore these three specific methods, this book serves as an essential resource for students of history, astronomy, and Asian studies. It moves beyond simple names to examine how these mathematical tools functioned within the historical context of the Chinese Astronomical Bureau. This scholarly work offers a rare window into the intersection of mathematics, astronomy, and astrology in ancient China.
