摘　　要：彝族文献《宇宙人文论》记载了彝族历法中的日月食理论。文章考证和分析表明,彝族的日月食理论抛弃了“虎吃太阳”“天狗吃月”等神话说法而运用阴阳宇宙观来解释,是重要的进步,与汉族的日月食理论相当。分析作为日月食成因的“红眼星”和“豹子星”的含义,与来自印度的“罗睺”“计都”比较,提出彝族日月食理论可能受到了印度天文学的影响的观点。The theory of solar and lunar eclipses in the Yi calendar is recorded in the Cosmology and Humanity of the Yi people.Textual research and analysis show that the Yi people’s theory of solar and lunar eclipses has abandoned the mythological interpretations such as“tigers eating the sun”and“heavenly dogs eating the moon”,and has instead used the yin-yang cosmology to explain eclipses.This can be considered to be an important progress,and is equivalent to the Han people’s theory of solar and lunar eclipses.This paper analyzes the meaning of the“red eye star”and the“leopard star”which have been taken as the causes of solar and lunar eclipses,and compares them with the Rahu and Kitu from India.It points out that the Yi people’s theory of solar and lunar eclipses may be influenced by Indian astronomy.
