Li Bangyan coughed twice and said with a smile: "You are keen on astronomy and want to form a society. That is great. But you must remember one thing and do not say anything slanderous about you. I suggest that you discuss and study astronomy on a regular basis.
You can write the results into articles. Just like the Poetry Club does anthologies of poems, it also makes an astronomy collection. It produces an episode every six months... half a year is too long, so it will produce an episode every three months. I will help you submit it to
Your Majesty has taken a look at it."
With the support of cabinet ministers and the article being read by the emperor, everyone present was immediately in high spirits.

(The calendar was formulated in the late Ming Dynasty, and the two were confused for the convenience of calculation.)
(These two systems represent the different astronomical concepts of the East and the West. To say that the Zodiac was invented by China not only fails to add glory to ancient Chinese astronomy, but also digs into the roots of ancient Chinese astronomy.)
(The consequences began to show up in the late Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, many so-called Feng Shui and astrology masters rely on the 28 zodiac signs plus the precession of the zodiac mixed with the West to deduce their calculations.
