the week rhyme

 the week rhyme

we were watching baseball, on day-sa'tur

i wish homeruns from my faver't batter


i play it in minor leag on day-sun

last week, my fun homerun, helpd,  and we won


i hate returning to school on day-mon

i wanna see action vids that have guns


later i will take a tuf quiz, day-tues, 

i study so i'm prepared for my dues


a history test will be on day-wen

i'm annoyd that i must study again


i enjoy time with Ann, we meet day-thur

the rest of the week, i feel i miss her


we wash and hang our clothing on day-fri

by sunday morning they're ready and  dry


here sunday is first and that seems quite fine

china starts monday, where was the date-line?

__

note: china not only differs using numbers for the week cycle but also differs that the first day is the day we call monday. last week i considered a cause that china starts a week on a different day. despite many possibilities,  such as "simply"  starting from the day of work, that is not simple but assumes they rested sunday which is a christian day in their west while the tradition in that region was  budhist not christian. we must ask where is the date line and where was the date line.

the "best" interpretation is prefferd if it was based on ideas we already know. when we fly from japan eastward to hawaii we know we cross the imaginary date line which is based, like the numbers of longitude,  on london britian. if we fly over that line at 3:30 pm then on the west side of the line on saturday we know the east side calls the time friday and there will reach saturday afternoon after 24 hours. therefor we can interpret that in the past the idea and week theory in both the west and china was the same. the difference indicates that the date line was between china and their west. on china's saturday the west already started their week after saturday, and "sunday" was not only first as in britian but markd by sun, for us the largest star. 24 hours later china ended saturday and started their week. then when the british made a date-line at the sea the traditional day was the same name but the tradition CONTINUED meaning ENDING the week 24 hours later and calling monday the number one same as tradition must have been.

objectively, considering this explanation is based on "an idea we already know" as we seein the modern date-line therefore it is the objectively best explanation, and answers the question where WAS the dateline in the past. if we assume they did not have one, we cannot reach that conclusion, from doubt, and it is not based on any idea that we know and by objective standards the location of the date line is the "best" explanation. the difference indicates as above that the location of the dateline WAS west from china.
