Spring and Autumn Annals? Interpretation of nan huaijin

Confucius wrote a book called Spring and Autumn Annals. Later, Chunqiu became synonymous with history. Before and after Confucius, some people wrote history, called Spring and Autumn Period. Why is history called "Spring and Autumn" instead of "Winter and Summer" in China culture?

In principle, cold is cold and hot is hot, which is called winter and summer. Some people say that because the first sentence in the Spring and Autumn Period is "the first month of spring king"-later generations read "the first month of spring king" as a sentence, which is wrong. Therefore, we repeatedly said that we should pay attention to reading ancient books, because there was no pen and paper at that time, and it was very difficult to carve words on bamboo slips with a knife, so often one word represented a complex meaning. This "spring" is spring; "Wang" is the central government and the Zhou Dynasty; "The first month" is the first month of the monthly order of the Zhou Dynasty; It is wrong to be "the first month of the Spring King" —— Explain why history is called the Spring and Autumn Period.

The earliest development of China culture is science, and the earliest development of science is astronomy. To talk about the history of world science and even the history of science, we must first study astronomy. When it comes to astronomy, astronomy in China was developed 3,000 years ago. In the world, it is the first.

China's culture comes from astronomy-we know that the climate is uneven all year round, and it is too cold in winter and too hot in summer. Speaking of day and night, the days are too short in winter and too long and uneven in summer. Only between February in spring and August in autumn, the two solar terms "vernal equinox" and "autumnal equinox" are the moments when the sun just reaches the middle of the longitude and latitude ecliptic. It is as long as day and night, and the climate is lukewarm and mild, so it is called Spring and Autumn in history. This is the historian in China, who thinks that in this era, society and politics can't be cured well, and should be criticized on this scale like the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox. This is why the history is called Spring and Autumn Annals.
