摘要

This is a study of the attitude of Chinese scholars toward astral anomalies in the eleventh century. This attitude reflected their general ideas about nature.; This dissertation starts with an institutional survey of the pertinent governmental departments. The Imperial Observatory was the only unit officially allowed to carry out systematic sky-watching. Its staff are studied prosopographically. In terms of their professional work, they formed two groups: calendar makers and astrologers. Astral anomalies were traditionally a matter for the latter.; In 1006 a guest star showed up in the sky and invoked enthusiastic discussions. The opinions of the court officials diverged. For the career officers, the meaning of star laid in the possibility of enhancing their positions by interpreting it tactfully. Scholar officials argued for paying greater attention on the principles of ruling the country.; The opinion of the scholar officials is far-reaching. The meteor shower of 1038 marked its first triumph over the astrologically-oriented idea held by the career officials. The scholar officials argued further that the heavens were not an entity independent from human beings. Both were, instead, parts of the same universe. According to them, astral anomalies were at once warnings of the Heaven and the reflection called by impropriety committed by men in their mundane life. It would therefore be wise to concentrate on the human behavior instead of on phenomena high in the sky.; The supernova of 1054 and the return of Halley's comet in 1066 revealed further evolution of the organic idea of heavens. The leading role of human beings in both the heavens and the mundane world was stressed in that, if the emperor and his staff could be decent and wise in running the country, and if they could behave in compliance with the moral principles taught by ancient philosophers, the Heaven would and should respond. Accordingly, the best way to tackle astral anomalies was to improve the administration of government. Astral anomalies became a problem neither astronomical nor astrological, but political. An anthropocentric attitude was formed.
