Title
English: Chinese report of guest star identified as the supernova of 1054
Description
English: A 'guest star' identified as the
supernova of 1054 in the pages of the Lidai mingchen zouyi (歷代名臣奏議), which dates to 1414. The highlighted passages refer to the supernova.
2nd year of the Zhihe reign period of Emperor Renzong of Song [1055]; Attendant Censor Zhao Bian submitted a letter saying: "Your servant considers that, since the 5th month of last year [when] the baleful star appeared, a full year has passed and until now its brilliance has not faded [lit. 'retreated']. This is what Gu Yong meant by 'its rapid movement, the variations in the length of its flaming rays, and the [asterisms] on which it has trespassed successively,' as a censorious anomaly it is greatly to be feared."
