本文从技术内史和技术社会学的角度梳理中国古代机械计时仪器的发展脉络,纵观计时仪器在中国古代漫长的发展历程,我们发现机械计时仪器在明初时已经具备向近代钟表转变的基础,但是由于明太祖朱元璋对机械计时仪器的厌恶以及机械计时仪器在中国古代没有独立的地位等方面原因使得中国古代机械计时仪器发展的良好势头中断并迅速走向了衰弱。
This article combs the development of the mechanical timing instruments in ancient China from the perspective of technological history and technical sociology. Looking at the long history of the timing instruments in ancient China, we find that the mechanical timing instruments already had the foundation for the change of modern timepieces in the early Ming Dynasty, However, due to the dislike of the mechanical timing instruments by the emperor Taizu and the lack of independent status of the mechanical timing instruments in ancient China, the good momentum of the development of the mechanical time-keeping instruments in ancient China has been interrupted and rapidly weakened.
