Translation

Sentence 4 : Mo Ran

---

There are five planets in the sky, which are Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and there are mansions of twenty-eight stars, which are kak·hang·chŏ·pang·sim·mi·ki, tu·u·nyŏ·hŏ·wi·sil·pyŏk, kyu·lu·wi·myo·p'il·cha·sam, chŏng·kwi·lyu·sŏng·chang·ik·chin.

• Discussion Questions:
  

(YO) To reflect the original sentence: (and) there are fixed stars, they are Kak, Hang, Chŏ, Pang, Sim, Mi, Ki, Tu, U, Nyŏ, Hŏ, Wi, Sil, Pyŏk, Kyu, Lu, Wi, Myo, P'il, Cha, and Sam--the twenty-four mansions." Notice I capitalized the names of twenty-four mansions without italicization because I took them as proper names, not as regular words.

Sentence 5 : I.Yi

---

During one day and night are twelve double hours. The twelve double hours come together and become one day. Thirty days come together and become one month, and twelve months join and constitute one year. As for months, sometimes there are smaller months. If it is a smaller month, then twenty-nine days make one month [based on lunar calendar]. Regarding years, sometimes there are leap months. If there is a leap, then thirteen months constitute one year.

• Discussion Questions:
  

(YO) I would add a note about what "double hours" mean: Traditional Sinitic hours (si) are of two modern hours and a day consisted of twelve double hours. They are called by names and the order of the twelve Earthly Branches. The first hour (chasi) is tantamount to modern 11:00 pm to 1:00 am. (Something like that.)

Sentence 6 : Stella

---

The twelve double hours are the twelve branches of the earth. The so-called twelve branches are cha, ch'uk, in, myo, chin, sa, o, mi, sin, yu, sul, hae. The heavens have ten stems. The so-called ten stems are kap, ŭl, pyŏng, chŏng, mu, ki, kyŏng, sin, im, kye.

• Discussion Questions:
  

(YO) Perhaps add (Heavenly) before Stems? "The so-called ten (Heavenly) Stems are..." (NA) Going off Dr. Oh's point, would we put (Earthly) before branches? To keep the symmetry?
