What reading level is Chinese Chronology Cycles book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" Souciet, II. 84, says that Y-haug particularly ex- amined the movements of Jupiter, and lays down as a principle, that this planet does not take 12 years, for its revolution in the zodiac. Thus it is clear, that in the Sung-dynasty, the 12 year cycle of Jupiter was known to the Chinese.
In Vol. Ill, page 30, Souciet writes : — " During the " time of the Hia dynasty, the year was called Sony ; " The character, Sony, means the planet Jupiter. " It was believed at that time that the revolution "
...of one year, is called [Sony. This interpretation " is of the time of the Tsin. " No doubt the appropria- tion of the tradition about Jupiter to the Ilia dynasty was modern, like other events assigned by Chinese, to that supposed period of their history. " The author of the Kwei Yu, whoever he is, but who lived about " Confucius's time, supposed that Jupiter made the ** twelfth part of his course through the equator, or the " zodiac, in one solar year. " The statement of Dr. Chalmers, and of Pere Souciet, go a long way to prove, that the Chinese had the Jupiter cycle of 12 years, as the basis of their GO year cycle, just as the Hindoos had it.
