《论衡·卷二十三·间时篇》
一天天聚集就成月，一月月聚集就成季，一季季聚集就成年，年为一统，年为一元，月、时、岁、统、元是不断增加聚积的相互的倍数、分余完毕而取的名称而已，怎么有鬼神之怪、祸福的征兆呢？
积日为月，积月为时，积时为岁，千五百三十九岁为一统，四千六百一十七岁为一元，增积相倍之数，分余终竟之名耳，安得鬼神之怪、祸福之验乎？
If you gather day by day, it will become a month. If you gather month by month, it will become a season. If you gather season by season, it will become a year. A year is a single unit, and a year is a single element. The names given to month, time, year, unit, and element are just multiples of each other that are constantly added and accumulated, and then divided and taken away. How can there be any ghosts and gods, or any signs of good and bad luck?
