略论中国古代的冶金鼓风设备与技术

On the Apparatus and Technology of Metallurgical Blast in Ancient China

冶金术是人类文明的标志之一,鼓风则是古代冶铸的重要环节之一。我国古代的冶金鼓风技术经历了由原始的口吹式鼓风阶段到机械化鼓风阶段的演变,做功方式则实现了由间歇到连续的发展,相应的鼓风设备完备、先进,机械原动力多元化,形成了完整、成熟的技术体系,极大地促进了冶金业的发展。

Metallurgy is one of the symbols of civilization of human beings and blast is one of the important links in ancient melting and casting. The metallurgical blast technology experiences the evolution from the primitive mouth -blowing blast to the mechanical blast; the ways of working develops from the intermittent to the continuous, and the blast apparatus, complete, advanced and multi - mechanical motive power, forms a complete and ripe technological system, thus greatly has promoted the development of metallurgical industry.
