摘要
本文运用考古地质研究方法 ,通过古文献资料的广泛调研 ,确立金刚石古文献记载辨识的指标判别体系 ,提出五条有关中国金刚石历史溯源研究的推理原则 ,即合理历史类推的原则、民间传说类推的原则、普遍认识珍藏的原则、国王王室专有使用的原则、历史惊人相似因而可以逻辑类比的原则 ;然后应用该体系来辨识中国古代金刚石的文献记载 ,认为金刚石在中国古代文献中至少有包括“夜明珠”、“夜光珠”、“夜光璧”、“宝珠”、“白珠”等在内的十个以上不同的历史专名 ;在此基础上破译了从上古的五帝时代到两宋时代这将近四千年文明史中一共 5 8项涉及金刚石记载的文献资料 ,发现了至少 198颗有文字记载的历史上著名的金刚石 ,其中包括至少 2 6颗单颗重量超过 10 0克拉的超级金刚石 ;同时指出山西、河北、安徽、湖北、湖南、江苏、山东、辽宁和陕西等至少九个省区可以成为中国金刚石的考古地质找矿重点研究地域。研究清楚地表明 。
In this paper archaeogeological method was applied to the establishment of an index system concerning diamond discrimination in ancient Chinese literature based on an extensive survey of historical documents.Five principles of illation were proposed regarding the historical tracing study of diamond in China,i.e.,reasonable historical analogy,folklore-based analogy,treasure-related universal recognition,logical inference based on striking historical similarity.Then the index system was applied to the discrimination of diamond in ancient literature and records,and it was recognized that at least ten different historical names such as night-shining jewel,precious jewel,white jewel.etc.actually referred to diamond.From the ancient literature covering the nearly 4000 years history lasting from the Five-Emperor Period to the Song Dynasty,about 58 diamond-related items of literature records were initially deciphered,and at least 198 historically famous diamonds thus recorded were discovered,among which there are at least 26 giantgrained diamonds with per grain weight exceeding 100 carats.It was pointed out that at least nine provinces including Shanxi,Hebei,Anhui,Hubei,Hunan,Jiangsu,Shandong,Liaoning and Shanxi could be the key areas for archaeological prospecting of diamond resources in future.The research vividly demonstrates that the development history of diamond in China is much longer and more splendid than that in India.
