对《魏书.天象志》中的天象记录进行了统计分析,发现太安至皇兴13年间(457—469)的连续62条可以计算验证的天象记录中,有59条记录的年份都恰好提前了一年。这可能是魏志抄宋志而于年代比对发生错误,也可能是北魏纪年本身的错误。
The astronomical records in Weishu are analyzed in this paper.It is discovered that 59 of the 62 continuous records were dated mistakenly ahead of time by one year in 457 to 469AD,the reign Tai'an to Huangxing.One possible reason is that a wrong conversion was used when those records were copied from another dynastic History Songshu.Another explanation is the historians of the Wei made wrong chronology of their own dynasty.
