New Members Ock Posted June 19, 2016 at 04:03 PM New Members Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 at 04:03 PM Hello. I am trying to find out more about a document mentioned here http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-documents-reveal-sunspots-auroras-and-other-solar-activity-before-galileo/ called "Tianyuán Yùlì Xiángyìfù". Could someone tell me what the text means and how it is written in Chinese characters? I am asking in hope that this information would help me find more information because the name as it appears in pinyin (I think that this is what it is...) does not lead me very far. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thanks to google translate I was able to decipher the Chinese). Yes, I am aware that ancient Chinese is different. Your answers were useful to me.
