The Nanyi Temple in Cangzhou faces the river trunk (gān), the mountain gate lies on the river (pǐ), and the two stone beasts sink together. When he was a teenager, the monk raised money to rebuild, asking for stone beasts in the water, but he couldn't get it. I thought it was downstream. I counted several boats and dragged iron palladium (pá) for more than ten miles, but there was no trace.
When a lecturer set up a tent temple, he heard it and said with a smile, "My generation can't learn physics. It's a pestle. How can you take it with you because of the skyrocketing? The stone is heavy and the sand is loose, and it sinks deeper on the sand surface (yān). Searching along the river is not bumpy? " Public service is the truth.
When an old river soldier heard this, he laughed and said, "The stone was thrown in the river, so you should look for the upper layer. The cover stone is solid and heavy, the sand is loose and floating, and the water can't wash the stone. Its counter-excitation force will bite the sand at the water-facing place under the stone, and the excitation will gradually deepen until the stone is halfway down, and the stone will be thrown into the into the pit. If you take another bite, the stone will turn again. Turn (Zhu m m m: n), then go upstream. Seeking the bottom and fixing the top; Isn't it more bumpy in the land of search? " As he said, fruit is thousands of miles away. However, this is a world thing, but we know one thing, but we don't know there are many other things. Can it be inferred that (Y) is broken? [3]

Vernacular translation:
In the south of Cangzhou, there is a temple near the river bank. The gate of the temple collapsed in the river, and two stone beasts sank together. After more than ten years, the monks raised money to rebuild the temple and searched for two stone beasts in the river, but they didn't find them after all. Monks believe that the stone beast is downstream of the current. So I rowed a few boats, dragged iron and palladium, and found more than ten miles of land. There is no sign of any stone animals.
A teacher set up a library in a temple to teach students. He smiled and said, "You people can't be reasonable. These two stone statues are not sawdust. How could they be swept away by the flood? The nature of stone is hard and heavy, and the nature of sand is loose and floating. The stone beast is buried in the sand, sinking deeper and deeper. Isn't it crazy to look for stone beasts along the river? " Everyone admires it and thinks it is an accurate statement.
An old soldier guarding the river heard of this view and said with a smile, "All stones thrown in the river should be found in the upper reaches of the river. Because the nature of stone is hard and heavy, and the nature of sand is loose and floating, water can't wash away the stone. The recoil of the river must have washed away the sand under the stone and formed a pit. The deeper you rush, the more you rush into the middle of the stone, and the stone will fall into the hole. If you keep fighting like this, the stone will turn again, and if you keep turning, you will go upstream against the river in the opposite direction. It is crazy to look for stone beasts in the lower reaches of the river. Isn't it even crazier to find them in the depths of the original place? "
According to his words, I found the stone beast a few miles upstream.
In this case, we only know one thing in the world, but many people don't know the second point. Can we make subjective judgments based on what we know?
