本文介绍了一种书写格式,即“模板表”(算式),它被设计用来指导近代早期中国的历法天文计算过程。结合另一种称为“详细程序”的文本,用户可以通过操作“模板表”和从给定的数值表中提取数据来轻松地进行计算。这种方法不仅规范了数值表的使用,而且还将指令与计算实践中的相应表格联系起来,从明朝(1368-1644)开始普及。朝鲜朝廷(1392-1897)为了掌握这种计算方法,甚至派了高级军官到中国秘密学习。模板方法在中国以外的传播表明了它的重要性。文章还讨论了使用这种方法的优点和缺点。
This article introduces a writing format, the ‘template table’ (suanshi, ) that was designed to guide the process of calendrical astronomical calculations in early modern China. In conjunction with another kind of text, known as ‘detailed procedures’ (xicao, ), users could perform calculations easily by operating the ‘template table’ and extracting data from given numerical tables. This method, that not only normalized the use of numerical tables but also linked instructions with the corresponding tables in computational practices, became widespread from the Ming period (1368–1644) onwards. Wanting to acquire this computational regimen, the Joseon court of Korea (1392–1897) even sent skilled officers to China to learn it secretly. The circulation of the template method beyond China suggests its significance. The article also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using this method.
