Abstract After analyzing the records of er (solar ear jade) in Chinese annals, and textual researching the meanings of er and the origin of modern terms solar prominences and parhelion, this paper concludes that the records of so-called celestial phenomena "er" are atmospheric optical phenomenaparhelion, and the modern terms solar prominences are borrowed from ancient terms. All the records of er in Chinese annals are not solar prominences.
