摘　　要：The ancient record "Tian-da-yi" (the sky darkened greatly) is identified with the solar eclipse on May 31, 976BC. This identification is demonstrated in this paper through a palaeographic, astronomical and chronological analysis. It is probably the earliest solar eclipse in Chinese history that can be so identified.The ancient record 'Tian-da-yi' (the sky darkened greatly) is identified with the solar eclipse on May 31, 976BC.
