| Zusammenfassung |
| Eight accounts from ancient Chinese
literature have been found that describe phenomena in contexts and in metaphors
that are distinctly auroral. These accounts relate to personages purported to
have lived in the third millennium B.C. The historicity of the personages and
the actual dates of their lives are still a matter of controversy. Thus the
accounts should be considered at a minimum as valuable additions to the
inventory of ancient allusions to the aurora. At the other extreme, if taken at
face value, they document the occurrence of low-latitude aurorae in the third
millennium B.C. |
