Development

The Huiyuan calendar was made by Liu Xiaorong, promulgated in 1199 CE, replacing the Chunxi and used until 1206.

Liu made three calendars in all — Qiandao, Chunxi and Huiyuan — a prolific calendrist of the Southern Song.

Late Southern Song

Calendars changed often and lasted briefly, a sign both of frequent reform and of limited precision. The lead in calendrical learning was passing to the Jin-Yuan line in the north.
