中国现代科学史上的一次科学考察壮举——记20世纪40年代首次对湖北神农架的探察

20世纪40年代开展的神农架探察是中国现代科学史上的一个重要事件。这次探察初步揭开了神农架的神秘面纱，为后来神农架的开发提供了论证基础，开我国单纯的学术考察与实用考察相结合之先河。由于历史等方面的原因，有关对这次科学考察的背景及结果报道甚少，众说纷纭，错误甚多，组织者贾文治编撰的《神农架探察报告》至今未曾刊布。本文作者经过20余年的调查、实物收集和人物探访，对这次考察进行了比较详细的了解，同时对《神农架探察报告》作了校注。

An Important Exploration Undertaking in Chinese Modern Science History: the First Exploration in Shennongjia of Hubei Province in 1940s

Exploring Shennongjia was an important event in Chinese modern science history in 1940s.The exploration revealed the mysterious veil of Shennongjia for the first time,and provided a demonstration foundation for the Shennongjia development afterwards.It was also a precedent on the integration of pure academic investigation and practical exploration in China.Owing to the historical reason,etc.,the background and relevant results on this exploration had been reported much less,no unanimous conclusion could be drawn and there were many mistakes.Report on the First Exploring Hubei Shennongjia of Central China in 1943 by JIA Wen-zhi,a magistrate of Fang County,Hubei Province,has never been published.The authors of this paper have spent more than 20 years in finding the persons and tangible evidences related to the exploration,and have detailed understanding of it.The authors also check the Report on the First Exploring Hubei Shennongjia of Central China in 1943 at the same time.
