《天工开物》由明代宋应星编撰，是中国科技史料中保存较为丰富的一部古籍，是一部关于农业和手工业生产的综合性著作。该书根据“贵五谷而贱金玉”的思想原则，记述了许多生产技术及农业用具。上卷记载了谷物豆麻的栽培和加工方法，蚕丝棉苎的纺织和染色技术，以及制盐、制糖工艺。中卷内容包括砖瓦、陶瓷的制作，车船的建造，金属的铸锻，煤炭、石灰、硫黄、白矾的开采和烧制，以及榨油、造纸方法等。下卷记述金属矿物的开采和冶炼，兵器的制造，颜料、酒曲的生产，以及珠玉的采集加工等。
该书虽然是数百年前的古书，却包括了中国古代从农业到工艺品制作方法的全套技术，对我国古代各项技术进行了系统总结。书中记述的许多生产技术，一直沿用到近代。自该书问世以后，曾先后被译成日、英、法、德等国文字广泛流传，外国学者称它为“中国17 世纪的工艺百科全书”。

图书简介
《天工开物》由明代宋应星编撰，是中国科技史料中保存较为丰富的一部古籍，是一部关于农业和手工业生产的综合性著作。该书根据“贵五谷而贱金玉”的思想原则，记述了许多生产技术及农业用具。全书分上、中、下三部分，共十八卷。该书虽然是数百年前的古书，却包括了中国古代从农业到工艺品制作方法的全套技术，对我国古代各项技术进行了系统总结。书中记述的许多生产技术，一直沿用到近代。自该书问世以后，曾先后被译成日、英、法、德等国文字广泛流传，外国学者称它为“中国17 世纪的工艺百科全书”。
本书采用图文并茂的形式，为今天的读者阅览辉煌灿烂、博大精深的国学文化提供一条捷径，引领读者走进一片源远流长、光辉灿烂的文化天地，让读者感受到中国古代科技的力量与理趣，而将原著编译成了现代汉语并加以注释，进一步拉近了遥远文化与现代人的距离。值得一提的是，本书收入图画200 余幅，既生动地展示了古代生产用具和生产场景，又体现了高超的农业和手工业技术，让人叹为观止。有些图片，展示的实物在现实中已经很难一见了，所以特别珍贵。
