摘要
过洋牵星作为一种海上导航技术,在《郑和航海图》、《顺风相送》等明清有关航海的书籍中只见用于苏门答腊以西的印度洋海域,对此许多前辈学者都曾提出疑问或推测,一直是学界难以解答的问题。随着近年来海洋史研究越来越受关注,此疑问的解答更显必要。本文试图从汉唐以来中国海上导航法的自身发展出发,通过比较过洋牵星术与更路导航的不同应用特点和局限性来解答这一问题。过洋牵星术只见用于印度洋,山形水势于这两种导航技术的抉择中是重要因素。同时,更路导航却能够不断完善脱颖而出,在中国帆船的海洋活动中占据主导地位。
As a maritime navigation technology, Guoyangqianxing can only be seen in the Indian Ocean west of Sumatra in Ming and Qing dynasties in the books of ＂Zheng He＇ s Nautical Chart＂, ＂Shun Feng Xiang Song＂, etcetera. This has been a difficult question and many scholars have put for- ward doubts or speculations. In recent years, as the study of maritime history has attracted growing attention, the answer is even more necessary. This paper attempts to solve the problem through mak- ing the clues of Chinese maritime navigation technology＇ s history clearly and comparing the Guoyan- gqianxing~ s features and limitations to Genglu. Meanwhile, Guoyangqianxing used in the Indian O- cean were tied to ocean conditions and finally the navigation technology of Genglu has occupied the dominant position in Chinese oceanic activities.
