Core contentFull text of the Dayan calendar, and the Tang succession

The work

The Xin Tang shu was compiled under Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi; its treatises were carefully done and are better ordered than the Old Tang shu’s.

Contents

It contains the full text of the Dayan calendar and records the Tang calendars in succession.

The methods of Yi Xing’s Dayan calendar survive through this treatise and the Old Tang shu, and are basic for the study of Tang calendrics.

Value

The Song compilers made their own choices; for Tang calendrics the two Tang shu must be read together.
