First of all, the inspiration for this paper is from one of the subjects in our classroom that we called “Module” in Grade 10. We had traveled to many temples in Chiang Mai to explain how the Lanna people in the past built their center community such as temples. A large number of religious places are related to its orientation. After we had explored and kept some of the important data we use the Stellarium program to explain how people can predict and prescribe the season for agriculture or prescription of a Lunar calendar. The reason why we chose this program for studying is that it’s easy to simulate the sky in the past regardless of the weather. Stellarium is a program for studying astronomy in present and in the historical time by simulating the sky and you can choose the sky objects which you want to know more about it. The knowledge at that time, it was hard to understand to predict the season for rice planting accurately and correctly because if philosophers had prescribe the calendar for agriculture incorrectly, it was a huge hunger problem for people in the village.
One of the old pieces from our predecessors is the 13DMFM which stands for 13-Dark Moon impending 13-Full Moon (13 Dub Bung Kub 13 Pen) which is one of the good knowledge in that period about many of astronomical phenomena for example vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice however in this manuscript we aim to summer solstice and winter solstice. The main concept of it is if there was a New Moon before winter solstice no longer than 11 days, this New Moon day would be the 13th, signaling the following year would be an Adhikamas year with 13 full moon. Because of studying in historical time, it’s hard to know what reality is. So, we have used Stellarium to prove the evidence from ancient Lanna people via Stellarium program.
First of all
, the inspiration for this paper is from one of the subjects in our classroom that we called “Module” in Grade 10. We had traveled to
many
temples in Chiang Mai to
explain
how the
Lanna
people
in the past built their center community such as temples.
A large number of
religious places
are related
to its orientation. After we had explored and
kept
some of the
important
data we
use
the
Stellarium
program
to
explain
how
people
can predict and prescribe the season for agriculture or prescription of a Lunar calendar. The reason why we chose this
program
for studying is that it’s easy to simulate the sky in the past regardless of the weather.
Stellarium
is a
program
for studying astronomy in present and in the historical time by simulating the sky and you can choose the sky objects which you want to know more about it. The knowledge at that time, it was
hard
to
understand to predict
the season for rice planting
accurately
and
correctly
because
if philosophers had
prescribe
the calendar for agriculture
incorrectly
, it was a huge hunger problem for
people
in the village.
One of the
old
pieces from our predecessors is the 13DMFM which stands for 13-Dark Moon impending 13-Full Moon (13 Dub Bung
Kub
13 Pen) which is one of the
good
knowledge in that period about
many
of astronomical phenomena
for example
vernal equinox, summer
solstice
, autumnal equinox, and winter
solstice
however
in this manuscript we aim to summer
solstice
and winter
solstice
. The main concept of it is if there was a New Moon
before
winter
solstice
no longer than 11 days, this New Moon day would be the 13th, signaling the following year would be an
Adhikamas
year with 13 full
moon
.
Because
of studying in historical time, it’s
hard
to know what reality is.
So
, we have
used
Stellarium
to prove the evidence from ancient
Lanna
people
via
Stellarium
program
.
