摘要
在17世纪,世界上几乎同时出现了三个伟大的帝王,他们是中国的康熙皇帝(1654—1772,1662即位)、法国的路易十四(1643—1715)和俄国的彼得一世(1672—1725)。他们鼎足而立,各以自己的气魄、才智和权威谱写出璀灿的历史篇章。康熙虽与他们未曾谋面,却与他们打过不寻常的交道。康熙的雄才大略和武功文治,在中国历代中央集权的帝王中是颇为罕见的。他的政治生涯开始于智擒权臣鳌拜,继而果敢地铲除了三藩的割据,统一了台湾,击败沙俄的侵扰。
Emperor Kangxi, together with Louis XIV and Peter the Great, was one of the three great rulers of his time. This paper discusses the fact that from the astronomy incident initiated by Yang Guangxian, the Emperor realized that in order to judge the rights and wrongs in natural science, one must be an expert in natural sciences. Thereafter, Kangxi began to study natural science and united around him a number of missionaries versed in natural sciences as his advisers. Though The Emperor himsilf never published any books on natural sciences, he had acquired profound knowledge in astronomy, mathematics, geoscience and water conservancy. Kangxi once established a special school of mathematies and also guided group of scientists from youth to maturity. However, he never set up any institution similar to the Academy of Sciences.
