The yellow calendar of the Ming Dynasty lacked years.

The perpetual calendar table refers to the lunar calendar 1582, that is, the ten years of Wanli in Ming Shenzong. There is a strange thing this year, that is, there is no 5th to 14 in June 10, which means that the day after June 4th is June 15. How did this 10 day suddenly disappear?

1582 10 calendar

This should also start with the relationship between the revolution of the earth and the calendar we are using now. Theoretically, the time for the earth to make a circle around the sun is indeed a whole year, with a period of about 365.242 days. The Gregorian calendar we are using now used to be called julian calendar Law, which was implemented in Rome in 1 BC. In julian calendar, a year is divided into 12 months, odd months are 3 1 day, even months are 30 days except February, normal years in February are 29 days, and leap years are 30 days. Therefore, the number of days in a year is 365 days in a normal year, 366 days in a leap year, and the average annual length is 365.25 days.

The annual time difference calculated by these two methods is 1 1 minute and 14 seconds respectively. Because the error is small, it has little impact in previous years. However, with the accumulation of time, errors also accumulate accordingly. After many years, the differences between the solar calendar and the calendar in julian calendar are getting bigger and bigger. In the late16th century, the error has reached 10 days. On February 24th, 1582, Pope Gregory X promulgated and abolished 1582 from June 5th to June 4th, that is, 1582.

This year, a "superstar" was born and a "superstar" fell.

The Birth of "Superstar" —— The Birth of Zhu Changluo, the Ming Guangzong.

Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, was born on August 28th, 1582. Zhu Changluo was unpopular since he was a child. He experienced party struggles and several major cases, but he finally ascended the position of emperor. After he acceded to the throne, he made meritorious service in appointing good ministers. Cancel the mining tax, fill the vacancy of officials, and increase the salary of border guards. Through this series of measures, a new atmosphere appeared in the Ming Dynasty. However, he was addicted to alcohol and pleasure, which made his body weaker and weaker and eventually died of a red pill.

The Fall of "Superstar" —— The Death of Zhang, the First Cabinet Official

Zhang Yu 1572 was promoted to First Assistant of Cabinet. During his ten years as the first assistant, he implemented a series of measures. For example, in finance, clearing the field and implementing the "one whip law" have greatly simplified the items and collection procedures of tax service and reduced the unreasonable burden of tax service for the people; Militarily, Qi Jiguang and other famous generals were ordered to guard the frontier, maintaining the stability and peace of the frontier. Zhang worked wholeheartedly for the court and worked for the welfare of the people. However, on July 9, 1582, he died at the age of 58 due to years of fatigue.

The above is to use the perpetual calendar to inquire about the relevant contents of the lunar calendar, which is about the sharing of the Ming Dynasty. After reading "Perpetual Calendar 2022", I hope this will help everyone!
