摘要
早期西方传教士和汉学家对中国年代学尤感兴趣,这主要源于来华耶稣会士对中国上古编年史问题的分歧,并引发了关于中国文明起源的争论。在这些争论中,西方学者对中国编年史进行了不同程度的研究,其中首要的一步便是设法将中国编年史中的年代记载和西方的儒略历对应起来。19世纪末期法国来华耶稣会士夏鸣雷对中西历相互转换进行出色的研究,他的转换表简单巧妙、通俗易行,是当时汉学研究的得力工具,也从一个侧面体现了耶稣会的性质及其在中国传教的特点。
Early Western missionaires’ and sinologists’ great interest in Chinese chronology mainly originated from Jesuits’ divergent opinions on China’s prehistoric chronology,which has caused the argument in the Western academic circle about the origin of Chinese civilization in the following centuries even till now.To support their own argument,Western scholars have made various studies.One of the preliminary studies is to convert ancient Chinese cyclic dates and years into the Julian calendar and vice versa.Henri Havret,a French Jesuit in China in the late 19th Century,was one of the representatives of missionary sinologists who had made outstanding achievement in this respect.His four conversion charts are delicately designed and easily operated,which were convenient and effective tools for the sinologists at that time.Havret and his studies reflect some features of the Jesuits’ mission in China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
