摘要:The earliest calendar in the Malay World and throughout most of civilization, certain symbols were used to represent dates. These symbols, commonly used surrounding objects which could be collectively understood. Therefore, the calendar developed by the earliest societies correlated with basic mathematical concepts and astronomical knowledge, especially, alphabetical and numerical symbols. This paper will discuss the special codes of the calendar in the Malay World, which are based on the marking of the seasons. As in Hinduism and ethno-knowledge of society, these codes are represented by the names of local exotic animals. With the advent of Islam, these symbols were replaced by the Arabic alphabet. Quantitative analysis shows that this cycle refers more to the code of the error of the Moon phases, in relation to the actual number of days which were used to arrange the calendar.
