摘要
本文通过对汉代的"连(链)"、明代的"水锡"及"倭塬白水铅"的重新考证,指出:中国具有生产意义的炼锌到明代万历年才可能出现,宋应星《天工开物》"凡倭铅古书本无之,乃近世所立名色"中的"近世",当指这个时候。
By investigating the words 'lian (连,链)' and 'lian (鎌)' of the Han Dynasty, 'wo yuan bai shui qian (倭源白水铅)' of the early Ming Dynasty and 'shuixi (水锡)' of the mid-Ming Dynasty, this article concludes that zinc-smelting in China began in the mid-Ming Dynasty, Jiajing Period (1522—1566) was its initial stage, and by Wanli Period (1573—1619) zinc was produced in large quantities.
