Abstract  Ephemeres record the position of planets, an activity that arose in response to the needs of birth day astrology. The early works Licheng Calendar and Baizhong Jing on the topic are now lost. However, textual research shows that the popular books Qizheng Taili and Qizheng Jingwei Shixianshu of the Ming and Qing dynasties have preserved some connections with early documents on planetary movements. In particular, the content and style of the Qizheng Taili are the same as the Baizhong Jing, which is a continuation of the Baizhong Jing. From the perspective of the development of astrology, we can sort out the connections between these documents.
