Analysis of king Wan's Dream, king Woo and king Ching.

"King Wan dreamt that he was clothed with the sun and the moon. A phoenix duck sang on mount K'e. In the first month of spring, on the 6th day, the five planets had a conjunction in Fang. Afterwards a male and female phoenix went about Wan's capital with a writing in their beaks, which said: 'The emperor of Yin has no principle, but oppresses and disorders the empire. The great decree is removed: Yin cannot enjoy it longer. The powerful spirits of earth have left it; all the spirits are whistled away. The conjunction of the five planets in Fang brightens all within the four seas.'" The Annals of the Bamboo Books, Part V the Dynasty of Chow, The Chinese Classics

Planetary simulations during Wan's lifetime do not show such a conjunction. Perhaps what is meant is Jupiter and Saturn moved 180° from Taurus to Scorpius. Mercury and Venus are close to the sun and can be in Scorpius in February/March only if the sun moved 180° from Pisces in February/March to Virgo/Scorpius. Then the five would appear in the night sky as the day before, only with different background stars. Earth must flow into a reverse orbit that day, perhaps February 25, 1238 BC. "all the spirits are whistled away" may refer to strong winds that resulted either from weather changes or due to earth's 45° shift. The sun must move 180° back half a year later for earth to flow out of the reverse orbit and reorient and continue as if nothing happened. If the sun moved 180° February 26 1238 BC earth must flow into a reverse orbit of the sun and shift 70° clockwise to keep in the same season because the date is 35 days before the vernal equinox April 2, 2° X 35 days. Likewise if the sun moved back the night of August 31 earth must shift 70° counterclockwise and flow out of the reverse orbit because the date is 35 days before the autumnal equinox October 5 1238 BC. The summer half of the year is longer than the winter half because earth's elliptical orbit takes earth further away from the sun in summer thus earth's orbit is slower. Meaning there are 187 days in the summer half of the year and 178 days in the winter half as marked by the equinoxes. This would be the full moon of August 31/September 1 (day 56/57) 1238 BC using the common chronology would stand still or set suddenly with the sun. The sun may have suddenly risen for a sudden surprise sunrise on Sisera and the Midianites for Deborah and Barak and Gideon - Judges 4,5,6,7,8. The "lunar eclipse" for day 56 August 14 1166 BC in the common chronology would be day 56/57 August 31/September 1 1238 BC: 癸丑卜，贞：旬亡祸。七日己未庚申月有食。 "After seven days, at the time from jiwei (day 56) to gengshen (day 57), the moon was eclipsed." However, this eclipse has been dated to 147 years before the fall of the Shang dynasty to day 56, August 13 1269 BC. Nevertheless, the conquest of northern palestine in Joshua 11 following Joshua's long day appears to be half a year later. Thus Joshua's surprise attack at Merom may have been this August 31 1238 BC and the route of the chase in Judges 4,5,6,7,8 be the same route given in Joshua 11.

"Uncle E-ho, how illustrious were Wan and Woo! Carefully did they illustrate their virtue, till it rose brightly on high, and the fame of it was widely diffused here below. Therefore did God cause his favouring decree to light upon king Wan." The books of Chow, Book XXVIII, Chinese Classics

Three hundred years after king Wan's birth, this portent, most certainly Joshua's long day, was still being talked about. The characters here of the sun and moon, translated illustrious, probably refer to what China observed when Joshua commanded the sun and moon to be still. Here the credit is given to God. You can see the character for Shangdi the same character for God used first by Shun to describe the "chief of the four mountains" in Shun's Canon.

"In his (emperor Te-sin's 1133 BC) 48th year, the E goat (spirit like animal - exciting wonder) - was seen. Two suns appeared together." Perhaps the sun moved 180° daylight lasting two days, 24 hours, like the sun when it stood still for Joshua. A similar sun miracle to Joshua's long day may have been associated with Woo (born about 1208 BC and became emperor 1121 BC). "How illustrious were Wan and Woo!" Literally: How Sun and Moon were Wan and Woo!

"In his 18th year, in the spring, in the 1st month, the king went to Loh, and settled the place of the tripods there. Phoenixes made their appearance, and a sacrifice was offered near the Ho." The first month of the year began December 12. The first month of spring January 11 or February 9. "When king Woo died, king Ching was still young..Spirit-like birds and phoenixes appeared; and the myterious bean grew up" - The mysterious bean may be the calendar bean named thus by emperor Shun a thousand years before when phoenixes also appeared in the first month: "A kind of grass, moreover, grew on each side of the palace stairs. On the 1st day of the month, it produced 1 pod, and so on, every day a pod, until the 15th; while on the 16th on pod fell off, and so on, every day a pod, to the last day of the month.." Then by the 16th day of the full moon the moon would be 180° away from the lunar mansion it was in the day before - still progressing forwards through the lunar mansions - only earth now falling backwards 1° a day in the reverse orbit. The grass growing on either side of the palace stairs may signifiy the moon moving 180° to the other side of heaven.
Just a few years before Woo began to reign 1133 BC: "The E goat was seen. Two suns appeared together." Perhaps the sun moved 180° February 1133 BC then 180° back February, perhaps 1131 BC or 1096 BC.

K'elins wandered in the parks; phoenixes flew in the courtyards; king Ching took a lute, and sang: --
'The phoenixes fly
All around my hall
What virtue have I
So spirits to call?

'From the former kings
This influence comes;
Theirs the joy that rings
In the peoples homes.'

This is an exact copy of the song recorded on Huangdi's sun miracle, perhaps September 22 - the beginning of Autumn - 2648 BC. Notice the same K'elin, unicorn of the sky, that Yao recorded in his 7th year. - First character top right - see lin - unicorn. The sun and moon phoenixes were birds who carried the sun and moon 180° around the earth. The K'elins may be flaming deer who carried the planets 180° around the earth. The K'elins were running because they must move the planets at hundreds of millions of miles per hour. Perhaps the sun moved 180° and earth flowed out of or went into a reverse orbit of the sun in king Ching's 18th year, 1096 BC. The first month in 1096 BC began December 12. The first month of spring January/February. Perhaps the sun moved 180° in February. Then earth's axis must twist 60° clockwise to keep in the same season, necessitating a like sun miracle half a year later or a year later or multiples thereof for earth to flow out of the reverse orbit and twist back 60 counterclockwise and continue as if nothing had happened. Note that in 2287 BC in Yao's 70th year phoenixes appeared in this first month of spring also, January 26. Perhaps the wandering K'elins were the 5 visible planets moving against the background stars with the sun. Perhaps the sun had moved 180° in 1133 BC, and back in 1131 BC to make the two suns appear in the sky together and the five planet conjunction in Fang in the night. Tan duke of Chow acted as regent for 7 years to 1106 BC for emperor Ching because he was a child. Perhaps the sun moved 180° in February 1096 BC in king Ching's 18th year. David would be 17 and this may be the day David slew Goliath the Israelites chasing the Philistines from Azekah to Ekron. Joshua chased the Amorites to Azekah and Makkedah 144 years previous when Joshua asked God to make the sun stand still. Perhaps China took this sun miracle as a sign to make Ching emperor.
"From being manifest, it becomes brilliant. Brilliant, it affects others. The sun standing still in the sky is literally brilliant and affects the whole earth. The sun standing still in the west may have marked king Wan's birth 1238 BC, the two suns appeared together 1133 BC may have marked king Wan's death in 1135 BC. Thus king Wan may have lived 100 years as in legend.


"King Wan was like the sun or the moon. He lightened with his shining the four quarters, -- the western regions." King Wan must have observed the long sunset of 12 hours of Joshua's long day from China, thus he would have been looking to the west where he would have finally seen the sun set and when the stars appeared see Jupiter and Saturn appear in Scorpius in the west before also setting.
