中国近代制砖技术发展研究

Research on the Development of Brick-making Technology in Modern China

中国建材工业在近代历经的巨大变革体现在诸多方面,尤以技术发展为显著特征。对技术发展过程的研究成为了解中国近代工业和近代建筑技术发展的关键。文章以中国近代制砖技术为切入点,通过历史文献查阅、实际案例调查,并与彼时国际先进技术比较,初步厘清中国制砖技术从手工向机械化转变的过程。该进程缓慢且节点模糊,体现了本土传统技术、观念与外来新技术、观念的交错与融合,揭示了技术变迁的偶发性与地域分布的不平衡性。

The building materials industry in the process of China’s modernization has experienced dramatical changes,especially in terms of the development of technology.It is a key to study the development of modern industrial and modern building technology based on these clues of technological development.Through literature review and field survey,this paper tries to clarify the development process of China’s brickmaking technology from hand-made to machine-made pattern,which is slow and whose time node is vague.At last,this research reflects the interactions and conflicts in technological ideas between local traditional and the foreign new one.
