The work
The Jiu Tang shu was compiled by Liu Xu and others of the Later Jin, largely from Tang court diaries and national history, and so is comparatively close to the sources.
Contents
It sets out the Tang calendars in order — the Wuyin, Linde, Dayan, Wuji, Zhengyuan, Xuanming and Chongxuan — with their periods of use and the reasons for each reform.
For the succession of Tang calendars its account is the clearest.
Against the New Tang shu
The Old preserves the old text; the New rewrites and prunes. Read together, each supplies what the other omits.
