寶應元年六月望戊夜,月蝕三之一。 官曆加時在日出後,有交,不署蝕。 代宗以《至德曆》不與天合,詔司天臺官屬郭獻之等,復用《麟德》元紀,更立歲差,增損遲疾、交會及五星差數,以寫《大衍》舊術。 上元七曜,起赤道虛四度。 帝為製序,題曰《五紀曆》。
On the full-moon night of the sixth month in the first year of Baoying (day wu), the moon suffered a partial eclipse of one-third. According to the official calendar, the computed hour fell after sunrise; although a conjunction occurred, no eclipse was recorded. Because the Zhide Calendar did not match the heavens, Emperor Daizong ordered Guo Xianzhi and other officials of the Directorate of Astronomy to revive the Lindé era epoch, set precession anew, and adjust the parameters for lunar anomaly, syzygies, and the five planets, following the old Dayan procedures. At the high origin, the seven luminaries start at 4° of Xū on the celestial equator. The emperor wrote a preface and named the work the Wuji Calendar.

其與《大衍》小異者九事,曰:仲夏之朔,若月行極疾,合於亥正,朔不進,則朔之晨,月見東方矣。 依《大衍》,戌初進初朔,則朔之夕,月見西方矣。 當視定朔小餘不滿《五紀》通法,如晨初餘數減十刻已下者,進以明日為朔。 一也。 以三萬二千一百六十乘夜半定漏刻,六十七乘刻分從之,二千四百而一,為晨初餘數。 二也。 陽曆去交分,交前加一辰,交後減一辰,餘百八十三已下者,日亦蝕。 三也。 月蝕有差,以望日所入定數,視月道同名者,交前為加,交後為減; 異名者,交前為減,交後為加,各以加減去交分。 又交前減一辰,交後加一辰,餘如三百三十八已下者,既。 已上,以減望差,八十約之,得蝕分。 四也。 日蝕有差,以朔日所入定數,十五而一,以減百四,餘為定法。 以蝕差減去交分。 又交前減兩辰,餘為陰曆蝕。 其不足減者,反減蝕差。 在交後減兩辰,交前加三辰,餘為類同陽曆蝕。 又自小滿畢小暑,加時距午正八刻外者,皆減一辰; 三刻內者,皆加一辰。 自大寒畢立春,交前五辰外,自大暑畢立冬,交後五辰外,又減一辰。 不足減者,既。 加、減訖,各如定法而一,以減十五,餘為蝕分。 其陽曆蝕者,置去交分,以蝕差加之。 交前加一辰,交後減一辰。 所得,以減望差,餘如百四約之,得為蝕分。 五也。 所蝕分,日以十八乘之,月以二十乘之,皆十五而一,為泛用刻,不復因加。 六也。 日蝕定用刻在辰正前者,以十分之四為虧初刻,六為復末刻。 未正後者,六為虧初刻,四為復末刻。 不復相半。 七也。 五星乘數、除數,諸變皆通用之,不復變行異數。 入進退曆,皆用度中率。 八也。 以定合初日與前疾初日、後疾初日與合前伏初日先後定數,各同名者,相消為差; 異名者,相從為並。 皆四而一。 所得滿辰法,各為日。 乃以前日盈減、縮加其合後伏日變率,亦以後日盈加、縮減合前伏日變率。 太白、辰星夕變,則返加減留退。 二退度變率,若差於中率者,倍所差之數,曰伏差,以加減前疾日度變率。 熒惑均加減前疾兩變日度變率。 歲星、熒惑、鎮星前留日變率,若差於中率者,以所差之數為度,加減前遲日變率。 皆多於中率之數者,加之; 少於中率者,減之。 後留日變率,若差於中率者,以所差之數為日,以加減後遲日變率及加減二退度變率。 又以伏差加減後疾日度變率。 多於中率之數者,減之; 少於中率者,加之。 其熒惑均加減疾遲兩變日度變率。 歲星、鎮星無遲,即加減前後順行日度變率。 太白晨夕退行度變率,若差於中率者,亦倍所差之數為度,加減本疾度變率。 夕合前、後伏,雖亦退行,不取加、減。 二留日變率,若差於中率者,以所差之數為度,加減本遲度變率。 皆多於中率之數加之,少於中率減之。 其辰星二留日變率,若差於中率者,以所差之數為度,各加、減本遲度變率。 疾行度變率,若差於中率者,以所差之數為日,各加、減留日變率。 亦多於中率之數者,加之; 少於中率者,減之。 其留日變率,若少不足減者,侵減遲日變率。 加減訖,皆為日度定率。 九也。
Nine points on which it differs slightly from the Dayan: At the midsummer new moon, if the moon moves at its fastest and the conjunction falls exactly at the hai hour so that the new moon does not advance, the moon will be visible in the east on the morning of the new moon. Under the Dayan, if the first new moon is advanced to the start of the xu double-hour, the moon appears in the west on the evening of the new moon. When the fixed new moon's minor remainder falls short of the Wuji universal divisor, and the dawn-initial remainder would be reduced by ten quarter-hours or less, advance the new moon to the following day. This is the first point. Multiply the midnight fixed clepsydra quarters by 32,160, add 67 times the fractional quarters, divide by 2,400, and obtain the dawn-initial remainder. This is the second point. For solar-eclipse distance from conjunction: add one double-hour before conjunction and subtract one after; if the remainder is 183 or less, a solar eclipse also occurs. This is the third point. Lunar eclipses require correction: take the fixed entry for full moon; when the lunar path shares the same designation, add before conjunction and subtract after; when the designations differ, subtract before conjunction and add after, each time adjusting the distance from conjunction. Then subtract one double-hour before conjunction and add one after; if the remainder is 338 or less, the eclipse is total. If greater, subtract from the full-moon difference, divide by 80, and obtain the eclipse magnitude. This is the fourth point. Solar eclipses require correction: take the fixed entry for new moon, divide by fifteen, subtract from 104, and the remainder is the fixed divisor. Subtract the eclipse correction from the distance from conjunction. Then subtract two double-hours before conjunction; the remainder indicates a yin-half solar eclipse. If subtraction is insufficient, subtract the eclipse correction in reverse. After conjunction subtract two double-hours and before conjunction add three; the remainder is treated like a yang-half eclipse. From after Grain Full through Minor Heat, if the computed hour lies more than eight quarters from noon, subtract one double-hour; if within three quarters of noon, add one double-hour. From after Great Cold through Start of Spring, beyond five double-hours before conjunction, and from after Great Heat through Start of Winter, beyond five double-hours after conjunction, subtract another double-hour. If the remainder cannot be reduced further, the eclipse is total. After all adjustments, divide each by the fixed divisor, subtract from fifteen, and the remainder is the eclipse magnitude. For yang-half eclipses, set the distance from conjunction and add the eclipse correction. Add one double-hour before conjunction and subtract one after. Subtract the result from the full-moon difference, divide the remainder by 104, and obtain the eclipse magnitude. This is the fifth point. For the eclipse magnitude, multiply by 18 for solar eclipses and by 20 for lunar, divide each by 15 to get the provisional quarter-hours, with no further additive steps. This is the sixth point. If the fixed solar-eclipse quarters fall before the chen hour, assign four-tenths to initial obscuration and six-tenths to final restoration. If after the wei hour, assign six-tenths to initial obscuration and four-tenths to final restoration. The halves are no longer split evenly. This is the seventh point. Multipliers, divisors, and all planetary mutations use common values throughout, without separate numbers for each motion phase. On entering advance or retreat cycles, all phases use the mean-degree rate. This is the eighth point. Compare the fixed offsets of conjunction day with the start of prior fast motion, and of later fast motion with pre-conjunction hiding: where the designations match, cancel to obtain the difference; where they differ, combine as a sum. Divide each result by four. When the quotient fills the double-hour divisor, convert to days. Then subtract surplus and add deficit from the prior day to the post-conjunction hiding-day rate, and add surplus and subtract deficit from the later day to the pre-conjunction hiding-day rate. For Venus and Mercury in evening phase, reverse the additions and subtractions for station and retrograde. If the two retrograde-degree rates differ from the mean, double the difference—called hiding discrepancy—and apply it to the prior fast-motion daily degree rate. Mars applies the adjustment equally to both prior fast-motion daily degree rates. For Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, if the prior station-day rate differs from the mean, use the difference in degrees to adjust the prior slow-motion daily rate. If the value exceeds the mean rate, add; if it is less, subtract. If the later station-day rate differs from the mean, use the difference in days to adjust the later slow-motion rate and both retrograde-degree rates. Also apply hiding discrepancy to the later fast-motion daily degree rate. If the value exceeds the mean rate, subtract; if it is less, add. Mars applies the same adjustment to both fast- and slow-motion daily degree rates. Jupiter and Saturn have no slow phase, so adjust the prior and later direct-motion daily degree rates instead. For Venus morning and evening retrograde-degree rates that differ from the mean, likewise double the difference in degrees and adjust the base fast-motion degree rate. For evening conjunction before and after hiding, even during retrograde, do not apply these adjustments. If either station-day rate differs from the mean, use the difference in degrees to adjust the base slow-motion degree rate. Add when above the mean rate and subtract when below. For Mercury's two station-day rates, if they differ from the mean, use the difference in degrees to adjust each base slow-motion degree rate. If a fast-motion degree rate differs from the mean, use the difference in days to adjust each station-day rate. Again, add when above the mean; if it is less, subtract. If the station-day rate is too small to subtract from, reduce the slow-motion daily rate instead. After all adjustments, the results are the fixed daily-degree rates. This is the ninth point.

《大衍》以四象考五星進退,或時弗葉。 獻之加減頗異,而偶與天合。 於是頒用,訖建中四年。
The Dayan judged the five planets' advance and retreat by the four images, but at times the results failed to match observation. Xianzhi's adjustments differed considerably, yet sometimes matched the heavens. It was then promulgated and remained in use until the fourth year of Jianzhong.

太陽每日蝕差:月在陰曆,自秋分後、春分前,皆以四百五十七為蝕差; 入春分後,日損五分; 入夏至初日,損不盡者七; 乃自後日益五分。 月在陽曆,自春分後、秋分前,亦以四百五十七為蝕差; 入秋分後,日損五分,入冬至初日,損不盡者七; 乃自後日益五分。 各得朔日所入定數。
Daily solar-eclipse correction: when the moon is in the yin half, from after autumn equinox until before spring equinox, use 457 as the eclipse correction; after spring equinox, decrease by five parts per day; on the first day of summer solstice, the remainder after decrease is seven; then increase by five parts per day thereafter. When the moon is in the yang half, from after spring equinox until before autumn equinox, likewise use 457; after autumn equinox, decrease five parts per day; on the first day of winter solstice, the remainder is seven; then increase by five parts per day thereafter. Thus obtaining the fixed entry for each new moon.

In the time of Emperor Dezong, the Wuji Calendar qi and new-moon hour-additions were slightly later than Heaven; computed star degrees and the Dayan difference rates differed considerably. The emperor ordered Xu Chengsi of the Astronomical Bureau and Yang Jingfeng, Director of the Summer Office, and others to combine the Lindé and Dayan methods in drafting a new calendar. At the high origin, the seven luminaries start at 4° of Xū on the celestial equator. The calendar was finished in the fourth year of Jianzhong (783) and given the title Zhengyuan Calendar. For central qi, new moons, solstitial procedures, solar and lunar motion, clepsydra tracks, and syzygies, it follows the Wuji Calendar throughout. Only for fixing the hour of issuing and gathering in there is no chronogram divisor; in every case multiply the minor remainder by the image cycle, divide by the universal divisor, and obtain the half-chronogram count. Multiply any remainder by five, divide by the six-quarter divisor, and obtain the quarter-hour quotient. The remainder, divided by six, gives the fractional quarters. For track-and-clepsydra midnight quarters, take the value scaled by the quarter-hour divisor against the image-cycle constant; convert the midnight fixed clepsydra quarters through the quarter-hour divisor, include fractional parts, divide by twenty, and obtain the dawn-initial remainder. For lunar eclipses, if the distance-from-node parts are 279 or less, the eclipse is total. If greater than that, subtract from the full-moon difference, divide by 66, and obtain the eclipse magnitude. For solar-eclipse correction, divide by 15, subtract from 85, and use the remainder as the fixed divisor. After all adjustments to the distance-from-node parts, subtract from the full-moon difference, divide by 85, and obtain the eclipse fraction. The solar divisor differs. The five planets follow the old Lindé Calendar procedures: from the mean-conjunction day count after winter-solstice midnight, add the post-conjunction hiding days and remainder to obtain the mean visibility day count. Venus and Mercury first reach evening visibility; Remove one full cycle of morning-visibility hiding days and remainders; what is left is the mean morning appearance. Determine entry into regular qi, obtain the fixed appearance, and compute accordingly. What the Lindé Calendar calls Awakening of Insects corresponds to Rain Water in the Zhengyuan Calendar; and Lindé Rain Water corresponds to Zhengyuan Awakening of Insects. In the Lindé Calendar, Mars's initial and final fast-phase degree rates increase or decrease by one part per day upon entering qi; the Zhengyuan Calendar uses two parts—the degree denominators also differ. An edict mandated use of the new calendar from the first month of the fifth year of the era. The Zhu Ci rebellion intervened, and the reign era was changed to Xingyuan. It was then promulgated and remained in use until the first year of Yuanhe (806).
