What are the original text and translation of Zhang Hengchuan?

[Edit this paragraph] Translation Zhang Heng, whose real name is Ping Zi, is from Wanxian County, Xi 'e County. Zhang Heng was good at writing articles when he was young. I went to the "Sanfu" area to study, and then went to Luoyang imperial academy to study. So he familiarized himself with the Five Classics and mastered the Six Arts. Although his talent is higher than the world, he is not arrogant. He is always steady, indifferent and quiet, and doesn't like to associate with ordinary secular people. In the first year of Yongzheng, he was chosen as Xiaolian, but it should not be recommended. He was called up by the government many times and did not take office. At this time, the society was peaceful for a long time, and there was no extravagance from princes and nobles to ordinary officials. Zhang Heng then imitated Ban Gu's Du Du Fu and wrote Du Jing Fu to satirize and remonstrate (the imperial court). It took ten years to finish (this poem, he) carefully conceived and polished. General Deng Zhi thought he was a wizard, and repeatedly called him up, but he didn't respond. Zhang Heng is good at ingenious thinking in instrument manufacturing, especially in astronomy, meteorology and calendar calculation. Han Andi often heard that he was good at mathematics, so he ordered the bus to recruit him and appointed him as a doctor. Moved to Taishiling twice. Therefore, Zhang Heng carefully studied and inspected Yin and Yang studies (including astronomy, meteorology and calendar), brilliantly studied the correct principles of astronomical instruments, made armymen, and wrote books such as Lingxian and Suanjing, which were extremely detailed. In the early years of (Korea), (Zhang Heng) was transferred to Taishiling twice. If Zhang Heng didn't curry favor with those dignitaries at that time, his official position would not be promoted for many years. It has been five years since he left Taishiling, and he has returned here. In Yangjiayuan, Shun Di, Zhang Heng made a seismograph for waiting for the wind. This seismograph is made of pure copper and has a diameter of 8 feet. The upper and lower parts are covered together, and the middle is raised, which looks like a big wine sculpture. The outside is decorated with seal characters and patterns of mountains, turtles, birds and animals. There is a thick copper column in the center of the interior, eight slideways extend around the copper column, and a hub is installed to stir the parts. There are eight dragons outside. Longkou each contains a copper pill, and there is a toad under the faucet, with its mouth open, ready to catch the copper pill spit out by Longkou. The hub and parts of the musical instrument are beautifully made, and they are all hidden in the wine-shaped musical instrument, which is tightly covered without any gaps. If there is an earthquake, the dragon outside the instrument will vibrate, the mechanism will start, the dragon mouth will spit out copper pills, and the toad below will catch them. The sound of Tongmaru earthquake was crisp and loud, so the people waiting for the plane learned the news of the earthquake. When the earthquake happened, only one stop mechanism was started, and the other seven faucets did not move at all. According to the direction pointed by the vibrating faucet, we can know the direction of the earthquake. The actual earthquake is used to test the instruments, which are completely consistent with each other and really effective. Judging from the records of ancient books, there is no such instrument. Once a one-stop mechanism was launched, Luoyang was not shocked, and scholars in Beijing blamed it for not being fulfilled this time. A few days later, the courier from the post office came to prove that there was an earthquake in Longxi, and everyone was amazed at the wonder of the seismograph. After that, the court instructed the historian to record the location of each earthquake according to the seismograph. At that time, politics was dark and the central power was transferred downwards, so Zhang Heng wrote to the emperor to state these things. Later, he was promoted to an auxiliary middle school, and the emperor let him enter the palace to make suggestions on national politics around the emperor. The emperor once asked Zhang Heng, who does the world hate? The eunuch was afraid that Zhang Heng would tell them that they all winked at him, so Zhang Heng didn't tell the truth to the emperor. But after all, those officials were afraid that Zhang Heng would become a disaster, so they slandered him together. Zhang Heng often thinks about his own safety. He thinks that blessing is related to misfortune, which is deep and subtle and difficult to see clearly. So he wrote "Fu Xuan" to express and entrust his feelings. (Han Shundi) In the early years of Yonghe, Zhang Heng was transferred from the capital and became the king of Hejian. At that time, Hejian Wang was arrogant and extravagant, and did not abide by the system and laws; There are also many rich children who run amok with Hejian Wang. After Zhang Heng came to power, strict governance and rectification of laws and regulations made it possible to secretly find out the names of traitors. At the same time, he was arrested and detained, so he respected obedience and praised the good handling of political affairs. (Zhang Heng) worked in Hejian for three years, and wrote a letter to the imperial court, demanding to resign and go home. The imperial court appointed him as an official. Zhang Heng lived sixty-two years and Yu Yonghe died in four years. /view/250 1 12 . htm # 1
