摘要
西汉千章铜漏是一件有明确纪年、保存完好、容量很大的泄水型沉箭式漏壶。作者通过试验和文献考察,证明这种单漏是记述某段时刻的记时器,不能用于天文观测。
The Qian Zhang water clock of Western Han is the biggest one in volume in the history of China. Through experiment and looking into relevant documents, the author shows that this water clock was for measuring a short period of time and that it could not be used for astronomical observation.
