摘要
明末清初,在传教士带来的西方科学的影响下,中国计量领域出现了一些新的概念和单位,以及新的计量仪器。它们的出现,扩大了传统计量的范围,为新的计量分支的诞生奠定了基础。这些新的计量分支一开始就与国际相接轨,它们的出现标志着中国传统计量开始了向近代计量的转化。
Between the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, under the influence of the Western science brought along by missionaries, some new concepts and units as well as new metrological apparatus appeared in the field of traditional Chinese metrology. Their appearance broadened the range of traditional Chinese metrology and laid a foundation for the birth of new metrological branches in China. These new branches coincided with the ones in Europe from the very beginning, and marked the transition of Chinese metrology from being a traditional one to a modern one.
