本文对中国古代煤炭生产过程中的主要生产环节进行了梳理,从这些技术环节中可以发现古代中国虽然发现和使用煤炭的历史悠久,但其生产技术的发展却相对缓慢,煤炭的开采工艺始终停留在原始的人力劳动水平。笔者认为技术的发展不仅受到经济因素的影响,更为重要的是受到政治、意识形态等文明要素的影响。 In this paper, the main production processes in the coal production in ancient China are sorted out. From these technical links, it can be found that although ancient China discovered and used coal for a long time, the development of its production technology was relatively slow and the mining technology of coal remained for a long time At the original level of human labor. The author believes that the development of technology is not only affected by economic factors, more importantly by the political, ideological and other civilized elements.
