摘　　要：本文从张子信神秘的天文发现入手,概括了张子信天文发现的5个要点,并指出张子信的水星"应见不见"术是张子信天文发现中最为精致的部分;释读了古代有关天文文献中关于水星"应见不见"术的记载,阐明了中国古代历法中的水星"应见不见"术来源于张子信的发现;从运动学角度分析了水星"应见"的规律,并利用现代天文历表通过数值计算验证了水星"应见不见"规律的主要部分,同时也证明了水星与其他行星"感召向背"的说法与事实不符;进一步指明了"应见不见"现象的物理本质,讨论了张子信天文发现的可能来源。The paper starts with the mysterious astronomical discoveries by Zhang Zixin.Five important aspects of Zhang s discoveries are discussed,and his discovery of Mercury s "Should-Appear-But-Did-Not"(SABDN) phenomenon is considered to be the most intricate.Records of Mercury s SABDN preserved in Chinese astronomical literature are listed and explained in this paper,and it is shown that Zhang s discovery of Mercury s SABDN was advocated by some later Chinese astronomers.Using modern theoretical and numerical ast...
