从英文的月份十月看与华夏的关联。

下图是1755的英文词典，本来我是要找 Octopus 八爪鱼 的，看到上面的October，解释很有意思为什么要从三月起，就跟华夏一样，建寅时夏历正月，说直白了就是 寅月为岁首 就是一月。而我们都知道 子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥，巧合不巧合。。拉丁语中 OCTO 就是 八。



OCTOBER, n.f 【October, Lat. cctobre, Fr. 】The tentn month of the year,
or the eighth numbered from March 从三月起的第八个月
       October is drawn in a garment of yellow and carnation，
up on his head a garland of oak leaves,
in his right hand the sign scorpio,
in his left a basket of servises.
