摘要
晚清科举改制,多种西学汇编丛书应运而生。其中天文知识的书写,体现了本土学者对西学的接引和再创造,是检验西方近代天文学在本土传播与接受程度的有力例证。文章通过研究晚清汇编丛书,尤其是“重新组织问题、编排文本”中的天文知识,对本土学者如何编纂西学知识、如何安置天文学科形成一定理解:此类书籍摘录著名西译天文书籍,普及西方近代天文常识,逐步形成天文学科意识,但受制于中国传统科学文化思维,天文知识是“中体西用”观念下的重新解构,天文学科亦是传统学科体系下的笼统分类。汇编丛书作为士子科举场中应答论证的参考书,虽然推动了天文学进入晚清读书人的知识谱系,但仅是基于“经世之学”的思辨论述,并未真正促进近代科学的产生。
During the reform of the imperial examination system in the late Qing Dynasty,the Compilatory Series came into being.The writing of astronomical knowledge reflects the incorporation and recreation of western studies by local scholars and provides positive evidence to test the spread and acceptance of western astronomy.By studying the astronomical knowledge in the compilatory series of the late Qing Dynasty,especially the“reorganizing problems and arranging texts”,this article forms a certain understanding of local scholars on how to compile western knowledge and how to place Astronomy:this kind of books excerpt western astronomical books,popularize modern western astronomical knowledge,and gradually forms the consciousness of astronomical discipline.However,restricted by Chinese tradition,astronomical knowledge is a re-deconstruction under the concept of“Chinese style and Western use”,and astronomical discipline is also a general classification under the traditional discipline system.As the reference books responding to argumentation in the imperial examination,the compilatory series promoted astronomy to enter the knowledge genealogy of scholars,but it did not really promote the emergence of modern science.
