On May 26th, 65438 BC+0265438 BC+07 BC, people living in Anyang, Henan Province were carrying out various normal activities, but amazing things happened. People looked up at the sky, and the radiant sun suddenly appeared a gap, and the light was dim. However, after missing a large part, it began to recover. This is the earliest solar eclipse record in human history. It was carved on a piece of Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

The observation of solar eclipse in ancient China kept the continuity of records. For example, Spring and Autumn Annals records that there were 37 eclipses in 244 years from 770 BC to 476 BC. The record of solar eclipse from the 3rd century A.D. continued to modern times, lasting 16700 years.
