摘　　要：宋、元、明三朝是历史上对民间私习天文学管控最为严格、禁令最为频繁的时期.在这样的社会背景下,天文禁令仍然没有阻碍儒生借助官方所许可的书籍探讨天文学知识.文章以元末明初士人叶子奇的《草木子》为样本,通过分析此著作中天文学知识的来源,寻找到士人群体私习天文的可能途径,并指出士人脑海中天文学知识体系的儒家特征,及其在“理学”思想指导下,与医学、道教等内容的交互发展.The Song,Yuan and Ming dynasties are the mostharshtimeswhen government forbade people to study astronomy privately through unofficial means,and bans were issuedmost frequently.In such a social context,those bansdidn’t prevent Confucian scholars from exploring astronomical knowledge with officially licensed books.This paper takes Ye Ziqi’s"Cao Mu Zi"in the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynastyas a sample,and analyzes the sources of astronomical knowledge in his works,and finds possible unofficialways for the people to learn astronomy,and points outthis astronomical knowledge system,in the minds of Confucianscholars,has Confucian characteristics and interacted with the content of medicine,Taoism,etc,under the guidance of the Neo-Confucianism.
