YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO 2 (2)：Calendar Later-HAN
◆Appendix I. Calendar of "中平"
Calendar of "中平" used below five Solar Eclipse points for making.
○ 光和元年, AD178NOV27
＜Original＞ "冬十月・・丙子晦，日有食之。" [REF.靈帝紀]
＜TRANS＞ "冬十月" ･･ "丙子晦", Solar Eclipse.
※ This day did not fit with a calculated Solar Eclipse.
※ But OCT final day "晦" was "丙子".
● 光和二年, AD179MAY24
＜Original＞ "夏四月甲戌朔，日有食之。" [REF.靈帝紀]
＜TRANS＞ "夏四月甲戌朔", Solar Eclipse.
This is the Solar Eclipse of AD179MAY24. But there is no "甲戌" in "光和二年夏四月". If we are "光和二年夏五月甲戌朔"＝AD179MAY24, the Later HAN Calendar and the day of the Solar Eclipse just fit. We will read the later texts a little.
＜Original＞ "夏四月甲戌朔，日有食之。辛巳，中常侍王甫及太尉段熲並下獄死。丁酉，大赦 ，諸黨人禁錮小功以下皆除之。東平王端薨。五月，衛尉劉寬為太尉。秋七月，使匈奴中郎將張脩有罪，下獄死。" [REF.靈帝紀]
＜TRANS＞ - -
There is no "六月". If we change "夏四月" to "夏五月", there are "甲戌朔", "辛巳", and "丁酉" in "夏五月". Like this, the months of "光和二年" are shifted to each one month later from "三月". It's as if "閏二月" has inserted. However, "光和三年春正月癸酉，大赦天下。", that is, from next year "光和三年正月", each months of "光和三年" become suddenly back to the normal as if "閏二月" has no inserted in previous year..
We were in trouble a little with this. However we adopted the solution method as follows.
・After "光和三年", the records are normal.
・In "光和二年", there is no "閏月" and only the records were shifted one month.
In this manner, here, we made the Calendar of the Later HAN.
"霊帝紀" parts of "東觀漢記" were once burnt out at all. And all of the editors also died. From AD196, new editors re-started to repair and edit "東觀漢記". から新担当者が東觀漢記の再作成を開始しましたが、"光和二年", that is, AD179, is 17 years ago for the new editors. And the new editors are not getting involved the editing of "東觀漢記", which is at 17 years ago. Moreover hearing the oral epics in the royal court, most people are dead. And the memory of the royal court officer, who barely survived the disasters, may be also uncertain because of 17 years ago. It was under the control of "曹操" (Cao Cao). Moreover it was really the war period of three rival chiefs, "魏" (WEI), "呉" (WU), and "蜀" (Shu). There are also viewpoints, which the Solar Eclipse, the Calendars, and the text records were not the most important. In fact, the records of the civil war and the large-scale punishing complicated as day record.
But from "光和四年" on to "中平六年", Gregorian Calendar, "day sexagenary cycle", and the Calendar of the Later HAN just fit. Since the tribute of Queen HIMIKO to the Later HAN is the event from "光和六年" to "中平六年", the Calendar in this period is accuracy. And from here, it is a story that Queen HIMIKO brought the tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty.
about Queen HIMIKO
The first tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty by Queen HIMIKO
It seems to be at "光和六年夏" (AD183 Summer) that Queen HIMIKO brought the first tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty. Queen HIMIKO brought the tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty just after herself enthroning around summer. But at the year end and the next New Year, large-scale Yellow Turban Rebellion happened in the Later HAN. The corresponding to Queen HIMIKO has gone out. The Rebellion was killed its leader groups at AD184 year end. But the Rebellion also sporadically happened also in next AD185. On each occasion, the Later HAN made every effort to crush the Rebellion. At AD186, the Rebellion can not be seen, the Later HAN barely returned to normal.
The second tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty by Queen HIMIKO
It seems to be at "中平四年夏" (AD187 Summer) that Queen HIMIKO brought the second tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty. In the Palace of the Later HAN Dynasty, the day, which the Imperial presentation message of "中平" iron sword and more the Gold Seal to Queen HIMIKO announced from "霊帝", is at "中平四年冬十二月" (AD187 Winter). The day, which "中平" iron sword of "Todaijiyama Tumulus" was made, is at "中平五年五月丙午", that is, at AD188JUL07 of Gregorian calendar. Finally in north KYUSHU island of Japan, the day, which Queen HIMIKO practically accepted "中平" iron sword and the Gold Seal, is at the next year "中平六年三月" (AD189). But in next month, "霊帝" of the Later HAN Dynasty of China suddenly died at "中平六年四月". Focusing on this timing, the headquarters of the main body existed in northern KYUSHU island. And the headquarters of northern KYUSHU island ordered "霊帝" of the Palace of the Later HAN Dynasty to assassine, We are a little surprised.
The above "The tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty by Queen HIMIKO" is a story. But for this period, the below 3 point of the Calender of the Later HAN Dynasty just fit with the calculated Solar Eclipse.
The below 3 points fitted with the calculated Solar Eclipse.

◆Appendix II. Calendar of "景初"
The Calendar of "景初" is the standard as follow.
AD239 January 22 is equal to the day "丁亥" of "景初三年正月"
There is also another information, which the day "丁亥" of "景初三年正月" is equal to AD239 January 21. "丁亥", which is "日干支" of 60 days cycle exactly, can not shift. It may be the cause that there is a few record of the Solar Eclipse in "Book of WEI" and the intervals between each standard Solar Eclipse days in order to calibrate are too long. It may be also thought to be that the astronomy measurement was not important, because Cao Cao being founder was the military fame.
Looking back one year, there was a time-lag with the winter solstice of AD237DEC22 against "壬子". The marking "冬至" (winter solstice) in the lunar Calender was at the first time, "始祀".
＜Original＞ "十二月壬子冬至、始祀。" [REF.魏志明帝紀]
"景初元年"
"景初二年"
