【摘要】：洪武十六年(1383年)翻译完成的《天文书》是第一部、也是唯一一部系统介绍阿拉伯星占术的中文著作。前人认为,直到明末清初,在欧洲天文学与星占学传入的刺激之下,人们才开始关注此书,而当时关注的目的主要是寻求西学之源或与欧洲星占学进行比较。通过研究17世纪传播西方星占学的关键人物薛凤祚,我们发现,《天文书》不仅是引导薛凤祚学习欧洲星占学的桥梁,而且一直被他作为与欧洲星占学相互补充的星占学知识来源,最后还被他用到对中国王朝命运的实际占验之中。他的这些工作表明,《天文书》和回回星占学在中国的影响大大超出了此前学者的估计。
[Abstract]:The astronomical book, which was translated by Hongwu in 1383, is the first and only Chinese book that systematically introduces Arabian astrology. It was believed that it was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that people began to pay attention to the book under the stimulus of the introduction of astronomy and astrology in Europe, and that the main purpose of the attention at that time was to seek the source of western learning or to compare it with European astrology. By studying Xue Fengzuo, a key figure in spreading western astrology in the 17th century, we find that the Astronomical Book is not only a bridge to guide Xue Fengzuo to learn from European astrology. He has always been used as a complementary source of astrological knowledge with European astrology, and finally used in his practical experience of the fate of the Chinese dynasty. His work suggests that the influence of astrology and Hui astrology in China is far greater than previous scholars have estimated.
