Development
The Chunxi calendar was made by Liu Xiaorong, promulgated in 1177 CE and used until 1198 — over twenty years.
With the earlier Qiandao, it came from the same hand and was the principal calendar of the middle Southern Song.

Southern Song calendrists held office and responsibility alike: a failed eclipse prediction brought impeachment. Yet the rule made them cautious, preferring the old methods to change.
