摘要
水力碾硙是以水为动力、以谷物制粉为主要功用的加工工具,是人类有效利用自然力和制造大型机械能力有机结合的产物,较之人力、畜力,水力碾硙的生产效率更高,营利能力亦更具优势。史载有唐一代,富商大贾、权势之家竞相于关中的河渠上设置水力碾硙谋取私利[1],昇平公主有"脂粉硙"两轮即在其列。《旧唐书·郭暧传》记称"大历十三年,有诏毁除白渠水支流碾硙,以妨民溉田。昇平有脂粉硙两轮,郭子仪私硙两轮,所司未敢毁彻"[2]。
According to historical records,the Princess Shengping in the Tang Dynasty had two hydraulic "Rouge Milling",which could be understood in two ways.Firstly,water mill was a production tool to provide grain processing services,and the profits were used for the princess’ s rouge.Secondly,water mill was a technical tool for the production of rouge.From the historical records,both views are possible.
