■ Title   Calendar and Hour System of Nakai Riken:Reading his "Kashokokureki"

■ Outline   Nakai Riken made his own calendar named "Kashokoku-Reki(The calendar of Kasho country)"--Kashokoku is an imaginary paradise in his mind based on the story of Zhuangzi. Besides he rather supported the fixed time method than flexible time method(varying length system) that was popular at that time.This paper clarifies how his thought of calendar and time method is related to his whole thoughts.   YUKI Yoshinobu   Single   Bulletin of Chinese Studies   (43),pp.41   2007/06
