清代,皖南地区涌现出一批在算术领域成就丰硕的学者,形成了独具特色的安徽数学学派。在学派内部,他们凭借家族链和师友链进行知识的直接传递,也依靠阅读著作、互相评陟、彼此辩难、整理著作、作序书跋等方式实现学术思想的交流沟通。互动方式的多元化,推动了安徽数学学派的繁荣。此外,安徽数学学派也依靠相似的方式同其他地区的学者互动,这些学者多来自安徽邻封,印证了学术传播的地域性特征。较为封闭的圈层限制了学术的向外拓展,但同时也有利于形成独具特色的学派观点和稳固的内部认同。
In the Qing Dynasty, a group of scholars who made great achievements in the field of arithmetic emerged
in southern Anhui, forming a distinctive Anhui school of mathematics. Within the school, knowledge was transmitted
directly by means of family chains and teacher-friend chains. The dissemination and communication also rely on
reading, mutual commentary, debate, mutual collation, contribution of prefaces or postscripts, etc. The diversity of
communication brought prosperity to the Anhui Mathematics School. In addition, Anhui Mathematics School also
interacted with scholars outside Anhui province in a similar way, most of whom are from neighboring provinces of
Anhui, which proves the regionality of the academic dissemination and communication. Though this rather closed
circle confined the expansion of Anhui Mathematics School as well as its academic broadcasting, it is also
conducive to the formation of distinctive academic views and its traditional self-identification.
