试论江西广昌古代天文学家揭暄《写天新语》——兼比较揭暄与哥白尼的写天新语

On the "New Words about Celestial Body" by Astronomer Jie Xuan of Guangchang,Jiangxi——A Comparison between Jie Xuan's and Gebainis's the New Words about Celestial Body

公元前托勒密的“地球中心说”在西方统治了1 500年,公元1543年哥白尼的《天体运行论》提出了“日心地动说”,首次把宇宙学建立在科学的基础上。在此说传入中国之前,我国明末清初的天文学家揭暄《璇玑遗述》即《写天新语》、《昊书》、《性书》等天文著作,提出了天地万物“气化说”,“星以日为主”,“日以天为主”;“天外皆天”,“天内皆天”,“广厚无际,天球无数”说。其宇宙学超出了太阳系,近似现代科学的宇宙无限论。

Tolemis＇ s ＂ theory of earth center＂ ruled the West for 1 500 years B. C. In 1543 A. D. Gebaini＇ s ＂on the Movement of Celestial Body＂ put forward＂ the theory of rixinditony＂ for the first time to have scientific theory about universe. Before the theory spreading to China, Chinese Astronomer Jie Xuan in the end of Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty in his works about astronomy such as ＂ the New Words about Celestial Body＂, ＂Wushu＂, ＂Xingshu＂, put forward ＂ qihua theory＂, ＂ day dominating star＂, ＂ sky dominating day＂, ＂sky outside sky＂, ＂sky inside sky＂, ＂ endless universe, countless planets＂. His universe theory was beyond Solar System and similar with modern universe theory.
