摘要
在文[1]中,本文作者曾讨论了巴比伦与古代中国天文学的太阳运动理论.本文仍从出土的塞琉古时期巴比伦楔形文字星历表和中国古籍中的原始记载出发,对双方的行星运动理论进行比较研究.讨论了行星运动周期和对行星运动的数学描述.旨在为巴比伦与古代中国天文学的关系问题进一步提供线索.
Ⅰ Periods of Planetary Motion The author has compared the numerical data of planetary perids used by Babylonian in Seleucid era (312 B. C.-64 B. C.) and those used by Chinese in Tai Chu Calender (104 B. C.). Ⅱ Mathematical description of planetary Motion By comaparing the Babylonian planetary daily motion ephemerides (ACT, No. 310, 189 B. C., No. 654—655, 164 B. C.) with the Chinese planetary motion tables (Huang Ji Calender, 600 A. D., Dai Ye Calender, 608 A. D.), it has been found that they have the same structure but the former is more complex. The author has also discussed the interpolations of second order used by both sides. Ⅲ Discussion: The Relation between the Two Planetary Theories The author has pointed out (references 1): Chinese and Babylonian astronomy may originat separately but it is possible that in the 6th cen ury A. D. some Babylonian astronomical theories were known to Chinese and accepted by traditional Chinese astronomy, while the discussion of this paper furnishes some new evidences to support this opinion.
