摘　　要：哥白尼日心地动说之传入中国，乃中西文化交流之大事，历来为学界所重。前人多以为，与哥白尼日心地动说有关的文字材料在中国之最早出现乃1760年法人蒋友仁向乾隆帝献《坤舆全国》之时。事实上，中国学者黄百家早在17世纪末就已经把哥白尼日心地动说明确地介绍了出来，这可能是迄今发现的最早的资料。该文在日本学者小川晴久初步研究的基础上，根据新发现的两条史料对此作了进一步的确证和补充，如：黄百家明确介绍哥白尼日心地动说的最早时间、黄百家关于哥白尼日心地动说的见解以及哥白尼日心地动说传入我国的几条可能途径等。The introduction of the Heliocentric Theory proposed by Copernicus into China is a major event in the cultural exchange between China and the West. Many of our predecessors believed that the written material about the theory first appeared in China in 1760, in which the French Jesuit missionary Michel Benoist presented his Kun Yu Quan Tu (Complete Map of the World) to Emperor Qian Long. In fact, however, as early as towards the end of the 17th century the Chinese scholar Huang Baijia had already introduced the theory in explicit terms, which is probably the earliest material hitherto discovered. Based on the preliminary research of the Japanese scholar Ogawa Haruhisa, this article further affirms and supplements the above material according to two pieces of material recently found, for example, the earliest time of Wang Baijia's definite account of the Heliocentric Theory proposed by Copemicus, his view of the theory, and some possible channels for its spread into China.
