Features: China is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop animal husbandry production and also one of the earliest countries to advance in astronomy. As early as the late stage of primitive tribal communities, our ancestors established and developed their own astronomy through the practice of agricultural and animal husbandry production struggles, achieving remarkable accomplishments. To promote and spread the fine traditions of Bashu culture, inspire patriotism, and popularize astronomical knowledge, this book will focus on introducing the glorious achievements in astronomy of the Bashu region and its key figures one by one. Due to the obscurity and complexity of ancient astronomical calendrical calculations, the difficult and obscure professional terminology, and the relatively dry content, the text will include illustrations to briefly explain some astronomical terms, meteorological knowledge, and background materials related to the content, supplementing the main text to enhance understanding of each section. At the same time, it can also avoid the cumbersome burden of in-text annotations, maintaining smooth writing. In short, the writing of this book will strive to be profound yet accessible, easy to understand, and aim to increase knowledge and to stimulate the reading interest of readers. It will also contribute its efforts to promoting Bashu culture deeply among the masses and advancing the improvement of the overall cultural quality of the nation.
