Xuanming calendar
The Xuanming calendar was an astronomical calendar compiled in Tang China and adopted in 822. It reached Japan with an embassy from Balhae and was introduced there in 862 as the Senmyō calendar, which Japan then used, without official revision, for more than 800 years, until it was replaced by the Jōkyō calendar in 1685.
