摘要
本文概述了中国古代透镜从先秦到五代的发展进程,着重从古代文献和出土文物的研究出发,结合中国古代社会经济发展水平,论证了东汉王充《论衡》中记述的阳燧可能是玻璃平凸透镜;论证了南唐谭峭的《谭子化书》中记述的'四镜'可能是平凸透镜、双凸透镜、平光镜和凹凸透镜。作者认为《谭子化书》'四镜'段可能实际上是对中国古代透镜发展的阶段性总结。
This article outlines the progress of ancient Chinese lenses from the Pre-Qin Period to the Five Dynasties, and discusses mainly two arguments: First, the'yangsui' recorded and narrated in Lun Heng by Wang Chong of Eastern Han Dynasty may be a plano-convex glass lens; secondly, the'four mirrors' recorded and narrated in Tanzi Hua Shu by Tan Qiao of Southern Tang Dynasty may be a plano-convex lens, a biconvex lens, a transparent planeparallel plate and a concave-convex lens respectively, but what kind of transparent material they were made of remains unclear. The authors believes the paragraph'Four Mirrows' in Tanzi Hua Shu may be actually a phasal summary of the progress of ancient Chinese lenses.
