Talk:Kashō

Sexagenary cycle
Occasional sexagenary dates are included in Gukanshō and in Jinnō Shōtōki; but I had not previously included this information in nengō articles. If this could be a plausibly useful as addition here and elsewhere, it would easy to incorporate such alternate dating in future. The following text demonstrates one way of handling sexagenary dates. Perhaps it would be just as well to include this information as a mere footnote? Does anyone have any thoughts, comments, suggestions ...? Are there other format considerations ...?
 * Kashō 1 (嘉祥元年; 848): The new era name Kashō (meaning "good augury") was created because a white tortoise was discovered in Bungo province, and it was duly presented to the emperor. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Jōwa 15, on the 13th day of the 6th month (the sexagenary  year was tsuchinoe-tatsu).

Personally, I'm not much interested in the sexagenary calendar -- at least not today; but I reckon this might have some possible cumulative value for someone else. --Ooperhoofd 18:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
