摘　　要：从基本天体测量的主要任务出发，介绍了绝对测定和相对测量之间的区别和不同用途，并针对河外射电源参考架和依巴谷参考架的高精度的不足之处，说明了地面光学天体测量的长期性和灵活性等优势正是克服这些不足之处所必须的，但这不应是传统的已有精度下的地面光学天体测量，而应是与空间测量精度可比的要求下的地面测量，两者配合起来，将能促进本学科和相关学科的发展。The main task of the fundamental astrometry is described in this paper.It includes to determine the positions and motions of some celestial objects,to construct a quasi-inertial celestial sphere reference frame,to determine some astronomical constants so that an uniform astronomical constant system can be set up,and to provide useful information for astrometry,celestial mechanics,astrophysics and geophysics and soon.In spite of the effects of the atmosphere and the instrumental deformation from the gravity,traditional optical astrometry on the ground has played for a long time an important role for the task.The observations obtained by the VLBI and the Hipparcos satellite have very high precision,and the extra galactic radio reference frame and the Hipparcos star reference frame have been constructed,respectively.If the two frames are connected,the shortage of the VLBI reference frame for the optical observation can be avoided.Even so,the Hipparcos refercence frame has only about 120 000 stars with magnitude brighter than 9 mag,which does not meet the needs of big quantities and faint magnitude of reference stars. Furthermore, since the observation time was short,the precision of the proper motions from the Hipparcos Catalogue is not high.The greatest difficulty in these observations is that the celestial objects in the solar system can not be observed effectively to determine the zero-point in the right ascention system.All these shortages can be avoided compensationally by the optical observation on the ground.One of the advantages of optical astrometry on the ground is its protracted nature. It can observe stars in a long time so that the precision of their proper motions can be raised,its long time observations for the celestial objects in our solar system can be used to determine the orientation of a reference frame,the flexibility of the ground observation enables us to observe some special region of the sky or some special objects repeatedly so that the demands of some researches can be satisfied.When a CC
