16世纪末,西方传教士经过几代人努力,终于打开了中国南大门。为达到传教目的,他们运用钟表作为攻关礼品,引起了明、清皇帝及臣民们兴趣,促使中国民间工匠仿制,从而推动了中国近代钟表制造业的形成与发展。文中收集了西方传教士的笔记及文献记录,查阅了民间方志,做了初步归纳,并进行了分析探讨。 At the end of the 16th century, after several generations of efforts, Western missionaries finally opened the southern gate of China. In order to achieve their missionary purposes, they used watches as a gift for research, which attracted the interest of the Ming and Qing emperors and their subjects and prompted Chinese folk craftsmen to copy them, thus promoting the formation and development of modern Chinese watchmaking. This article collected notes and documentary records of Western missionaries, reviewed local folk records, conducted preliminary induction, and conducted analysis and discussion.
