摘要
古朝鲜从国外,主要是从中国和日本引入与改进火药和火器的发展史及其特征进行了考察。当时南宋时期中国火药制造术已经传入朝鲜,17世纪后期朝鲜所用的煮硝法有别于中国,发火和铁信炮不同于中国模式的新火器等观点提出了质疑,并发现:朝鲜从中国多次引入煮硝方后,经过焰硝提取术的四次变革,焰硝的纯度和产量均得到很大提高;朝鲜制造和使用的火器种类比较少。17世纪中期之前,以使用发射箭簇的铳筒为主,但是发明了不同于中国型式的火器,如火器战车和震天雷等;自然资源以及技术等的限制造成火药产量难以满足需要;西式火器则主要在17世纪从日本引进。
Korea first introduces gunpowder and firearms from China in the middle of the 14th century,while most of its Western model firearms are introduced from Japan after the 17th century. The paper reviews the history of Korea＇ s introduction and improvement of gunpowder and firearms,and makes a comparison between China and Korea in this regard. Although the purity of salpetre increases after technological innovation,the output cannot meet Korea＇s needs. Some kinds of imported firearms are used, and Koreans also invent some of their own. The paper also argues that the exact time when gunpowder is introduced is not clear, and the method of manufacturing saltpetre and some firearms in Korea is not different from that in China.
