摘要
对于元朝道人赵友钦所著《革象新书》中的"小罅光景"篇,前人已做了大量讨论。然而,之前的学者未能注意到,赵氏的小孔成像研究以解释日食观测中的特殊现象为目的,类似的研究在元朝之前的中国古代光学中没有先例,却是古希腊以降西方光学研究中的重要课题。文章列举了有关文献,说明赵友钦的问题和方法,和13世纪之后的西欧学者一样,受到了阿拉伯光学的影响。进一步的考证表明,郭守敬并不是赵友钦和伊斯兰科学之间的中介,赵友钦所研究的小孔成像难题最有可能由邱处机从西域带回。
Zhao Youqin, a Taoist in Yuan Dynasty, presented an optical thesis named ＂Xiaoxia Guangjing＂ （images by an aperture） in his astronomical book Gexiang Xinshu. So far, abundant academic discussions had been made on the thesis. However, previous scholarship didn＇t notice that the aim of Zhao＇s research on pinhole images was to explain the perplexing phenomena in observation of solar eclipse; such research had no precedent in ancient China before Yuan Dynasty, but was a significant task in western optical inquiry from ancient Greece. According to analysis of the related literature, this paper shows that Zhao＇s research, like Western European scholars after 13th century, was deeply influenced by Arabic optics. Furthermore, the paper concludes that Guo Shoujing could not be the intermediary agent between Zhao and Islamic science, and that Zhao＇s puzzle of pinhole image was most likely brought by Qiu Chuji from the Western Regions.
