雷公墨称谓创立作者及其年代辨析

Analysis of the author and age of Leigongmo’s name

中国是最早发现、研究、利用、命名雷公墨(玻璃陨石)的国家。在当代有关文献对雷公墨最早命名的作者及年代的记载中,长期存在与史籍内容不相符的状况,认为是在十世纪中叶刘恂最早记载了雷公墨,严重影响了中外学术界对雷公墨文化渊源的准确传播交流,以及广大公众对雷公墨文化流传的认知。通过分析现状问题、梳理史籍细节,辨清客观真实:在八世纪初叶,唐代陈藏器最早著作记载雷公墨;约九世纪中叶,唐代房千里《投荒杂录》记载:“雷州……时有雷火发于野中,每雨霁,得黑石,或圆或方,号雷公墨”,首创“雷公墨”称谓。

Leigongmo(Tektite)is first discovered,studied,used and named by Chinese scholars.However,there are some problems for a long time.The author and age of the earliest name of Leigongmo in modern relevant literature are not consistent with the historical records,and it is believed that“in the middle of the tenth century,LIU Xun first recorded Leigongmo”,therefore,it has seriously affected the accurate communication of the origin of Leigongmo culture in Chinese and foreign academic circles,as well as the general public’s cognition of the spread of Leigongmo culture.Through the specific analysis of the current situation,sorting out and discriminating the details of historical records,the objective real situation is clarified.At the beginning of the eighth century,the earliest works of CHEN Zangqi in the Tang Dynasty recorded Leigongmo;about the middle of the ninth century,FANG Qianli of the Tang Dynasty recorded in his work“lightning strikes often occur in Leizhou,when the heavy rain stops,you can pick up round and square black stones in the field,this stone’s name is Leigongmo”,so the name“Leigongmo”was founded by FANG Qianli.
