The Luoshu zhenyaodu says: 'The heaven's circuit is 365 and one-quarter degrees. Moreover, each degree is 1,932 li; thus heaven and earth are 178,500 li apart.' The Lunheng says: 'The sun travels one degree each day, and one degree is 2,000 li. During the day the sun travels 1,000 li; its slowness and swiftness are comparable to the pace of a qilin.'
