摘　　要：明清之际天文学在中国的传播已引起学者的兴趣,相对而言,乾隆末叶之后到《谈天》刊印之前的一段时间内,西方天文学知识的传播尚未有深入的研究。本文根据中西文献,特别是英国所藏的中国沿海港口出版物,以天王星知识的传入为例,分析嘉庆、咸丰年间欧洲科学新知在沿海城市的传播以及被不断更新的复杂进程。The transmission of European astronomy during the late Ming and early Qing periods aroused scholars＇ interest in the past decades. However, no detailed studies have been done on the Sino-European astronomical contacts between the late Qianlong period and 1859 when the Chinese translation of John Herschel＇s Outlines of Astronomy was printed. Based on Chinese and Western sources, especially those publications from Chinese port cities that are held in England, using the introduction of Uranus as a case study, this paper tries to analyze the transmission of European new scientific knowledge in the Chinese port cities between the Jiaqing（1796-1820） and Xianfeng（1850-1861） reigns.
