The seven Luminaires were used to tell the days of ancient dates.

This other method arose in ancient Babylonia, seven days that followed create the week, the Shining Sun, the Shining of Fire, the Shining Moon, Shining of Fire (Marte), the Luminar of Aqua (Mercurio), the Shining of wood (Jupiter), the Shining of Metal (Venus), and the Shining of Terra (Saturno), respectively made up the original system and was called Xing Qi or Periodo Stellar.

In the primitive Chinese system, the days of the week were called according to the Sun, the Moon, and the fifth major planets, Mars, and the firstborn, the firstborn, the firstborn, the firstborn, and the second-born, the first-born, and the second-born.

The Japanese language still preserves the same denominations, even though the Chinese use it no more.

In modern Chinese, the days of the week are called by numbers, for example, the moonshine is called a period planetary.

The final term for a week in China is (_Li3 Bai 4_), meaning something like the Precarious Ritual.

Almost certainly this was introduced by Christian missionaries who wanted Chinese to preclude everyday donations or calendar-determined languages because the ancient Chinese religion had to give everyday donations, as in the calendar is no day of relaxation.
