摘要
引进西方占星术并与中国古代占星术会通,是薛凤祚《历学会通》的一个重要内容。在天文学和占星术还没有完全分离的明末清初,薛凤祚在引进西方天文学的同时带进占星术的内容是不足为怪的。薛凤祚不赞成一般占卜者信奉的"天人感应",他研究占星术的思想基础是"天人合一"和"天人相应",这在当时是一种由神学向科学靠拢的进步。从天文学角度看,薛凤祚认为西方占星术比中国的有理,但亦指明"不可以为是也"。虽然如此,但"为益世教,未尝无也"。薛凤祚对占星术的认识是辩证的,在这些思想的指导下,薛凤祚在《历学会通》中完成了占星术的中西会通。
There are many astrology contents in the astronomical works of Xue Fengzuo. It is natural that astrology was brought into China with the introduction of Western astronomy in the early Qing Dynasty when astronomy and astrology were not fully separated. Xue believes "correspondence between man and nature", rather than "telepathy between man and nature", which is an improvement. From the perspective of astronomy, he thinks that Western astrology is more rational than ancient Chinese astrology and it remains uncertain. Although astrology has not been proved true,it works sometimes for the benefit of social education. Based on these ideas,Xue Fengzuo digested the Chinese and Western astrology.
