Establishing systems and organizations is a very important part of scientific research, and this is what propelled Chinese astronomy to such a high level of achievement. Precision instruments and algebra enabled scientists to calculate planetary orbits and the timing and position of celestial events with astounding accuracy. Every period of Chinese history has produced many outstanding astronomers.
制度化與組織化是形塑科學研究的重要因素，中國因此建立了發達的天文學，不僅儀器發展精密、對於行星軌道運行與各種天象出現時間、方位的計算，誤差微乎其微，歷代更出現許多優秀的天文家。
