摘要
法国汉学家毕欧受业于儒莲,是法国学院派汉学的第二代学者。受家学渊源及工程技术背景的影响,在转向汉学研究后,他致力于专研中国的典章制度与技术史。他对中国历史地理的相关问题也抱有浓厚且持久的兴趣。更为难得的是,他在现代学术规范初步确立的19世纪上半叶,自发地运用现代学术范式,提出并探讨中国历史地理问题,例如历史气候、海岸线变迁、黄河改道、地面高程、地震分布、地磁变化等历史自然地理议题,以及古代疆域、历史地理工具书的编纂等历史人文地理议题。这些议题在百年以后仍然受到中国历史地理学者的关注。毕欧的这类研究是欧洲汉学家以近代学术规范研究中国历史地理的最早尝试。
Edouard Biot,ranked in the second generation of French Sinologists,conducted his studies under the direction of Stanislas Julien.Due to his family tradition and his previous engineering career,he paid additional eyes to the technical aspect of Chinese civilization.He kept a particular interest in topics con-cerning Chinese historical geography,on which he employed a modern scientific approach that preliminarily formed in the first half of the 19th century.His studies conclude historical physiographic topics such as his-torical climate,coastline changes,Yellow River diversion,ground elevation,earthquake,geomagnetic changes,and historical human geography topics such as territory and toponymy.These topics are still of in-terest to Chinese scholars of historical geography a century later.Biot's research is the first attempt of Euro-pean sinologists to study Chinese historical geography with modern academic paradigm.
