Xin-you \[721 CE\]) Because the solar eclipses calculated by the Linde Calendar had recently failed to prove accurate, the court decreed that Chan Master Yixing compose a new calendar. Receiving the decree, Yixing derived the Dayanshi system and established methods to correspond with it. Comparing them with the seasonal qi, new moons, day names, and degrees recorded in the classics and histories that could be verified, all coincided, and he set them forth in writing. After some time, the Daoist Xing Hepu said to Yin Yin, Director of the Astrological Service: 'Is Yixing not a sage? Long ago, when Luoxia Hong created the Taichu Calendar, he once recorded: "After eight hundred years, there should be an error of one day; a sage must appear in the world to rectify it." This year the period of error has been fulfilled, and Yixing has derived the Dayanshi system to rectify the errors of the various schools. Hong's words were not false.' Yin also agreed. Yixing further wished to know the advance and regress of the ecliptic, but the Astrological Service lacked an ecliptic armillary sphere; he submitted a memorial requesting to construct one, and the imperial decree granted permission. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13.12) - [Next: 13.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13.14) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.13.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.13.13) · Pramāṇa
