枚乘《谏吴王书》中科学史料二则浅探

A Probe into the Two Historical Scientific Materials in Mei Cheng's "Remonstrate with King Wu"

研究了汉代文学家枚乘《谏吴王书》一文中的两则物理学史料(一则关于运动,另一则关于测量).经研究表明,古人对于物理现象的经验性描述与现代物理学的定量性计算是异曲同工的.

There are two historical materials of physics in 'Remonstrate with King Wu' by Mei Cheng, a writer in Han Dynasty: one is about motion, and the other is about survey. The research shows that the ancient empiricism description of the physics phenomena and modern physics quantitative calculation are of different approaches but have equally satisfactory results.
