摘要
明代科学家徐光启博采众家之长,撰写了《考工记解》一书。由于该书尘封多年,其成书年代、眉批作者等诸多问题尚待破解。本文认为徐氏完成该书的撰写工作应是1621年,并最终于1623年由茅兆海作跋而加以刊刻。目前仅存明清之际的抄本,其眉批应系徐光启本人所作。由于具有生产技术经验和难得的西学知识,徐氏在书中不少地方对《考工记》作了超出前人的较为科学合理的释读。虽然也有因袭旧说而致误之处,但从整体上看,《考工记解》具有一定的科技价值,应为徐光启科技成就的组成部分。
Xu Guangqi,a famous scientist lived in the Ming Dynasty wrote the book Kao Gong Ji Jie,which recorded the advantages of several specialists.There are a few unsettled problems as the book had been out of the academic scope for a long time.This paper holds that Xu accomplished the book in 1621,and in 1623 Mao Zhaohai published it after he wrote the postscript.The annotations at the top of the page are considered to have been added by Xu Guangqi.Despite some errors following the old views,generally speaking,it is undoubtedly that the book embodies scientific and technological value that should be a part of the achievement of Xu.
