Translation:
Xu Heng, Zhongping, a native of Hanoi, Huaizhou, has been farming for generations. I have a distinctive temperament since I was a child. When I entered school at the age of seven, the teacher gave the students a chapter to analyze the sentence. Xu Heng asked his teacher, "What is the purpose of reading?" The teacher said, "for the first place in the imperial examination!" " Xu Heng said, "Is that it?" The teacher was greatly surprised. Every time he is taught to read, he asks the purport of the book. After a long time, the teacher said to his parents, "This child is very clever, and he will definitely surpass ordinary people one day. I am not suitable to be his teacher." So leave away, Xu Heng's parents tried to retain but failed to retain. Three teachers have changed like this. When he grew up, Xu Heng was hungry for reading, but at that time, he was in chaos, and his family was poor and had no books. Later, he fled to Culai Mountain and began to get Wang Fusi's explanation of Yi. At that time, he was in a period of war. Xu Heng thought at night, read aloud during the day, experienced it personally, and worked hard to practice it. His manners and words must be inferred before they were implemented. I used to pass by Heyang on a hot summer day, and I was very thirsty. There was a pear tree next to the road, and everyone scrambled to pick pears to eat. Only Xu Heng was sitting alone under the tree, and with an easy grace. Someone asked him why he didn't pick pears to eat, and he replied, "It is not allowed to eat them if they are not your own." The man said, "The world is chaotic, and this tree has no owner." Xu Heng replied: "There is no owner in the pear tree. Is there no owner in my heart?"
Xu Heng later moved to Ludi and stayed in Weizhou. People saw his noble morality and gradually began to follow him. Xu Heng stayed in Weizhou for three years, and heard that the war would subside, so he returned to Huaizhou. Whenever he marries at weddings, funerals and funerals, he must follow the etiquette, and use it to encourage people from his hometown to do so, and more and more people are learning. Because of his poor family, Xu Heng personally went to the fields to farm. When the grain was ripe, he ate the grain, and when the grain was not ripe, he ate the bran and swallowed vegetables. He took it as cool as a cucumber, and the sound of reading poetry spread to the outside of the house as beautiful as music. If the family property is surplus, Xu Heng will give it to his relatives and poor students. If people give something, as long as it doesn't conform to the etiquette, he will not accept it. Yao Shu was once called into the capital, so he let Xu Heng live in his snow den and ordered those who stayed behind to entertain him, but Xu Hengjian refused. In the courtyard, a ripe fruit fell to the ground, and Xu Heng's children passed by without looking at it. Xu Heng's family was deeply influenced by him.
in the year of Jiayin, sai-jo was made king in the middle of Qin dynasty, and he considered ways to influence and educate the Qin people, so he called Xu Heng as a scholar in Jingzhao. People in Qin just got out of the war and wanted to study without a teacher. I heard that Xu Heng came to be in charge of education, and everyone came to study happily. Schools have been built in all counties and counties, and the people have been greatly influenced by education. Sai-jo led the army to the south, and Xu Heng returned to Huaizhou. The students kept him without success, so they followed him to Lintong and didn't come back.
in the first year of reunification, sai-jo ascended the throne of the emperor and called Xu Heng back to the capital. Before long, Xu Heng resigned and returned home.
in the second year of Zhiyuan, the emperor appointed an tong as the right prime minister, and asked Xu Heng to assist him, so he called Xu Heng to the capital and asked him to participate in the deliberation in Zhongshu province.
Ahema was in charge of politics in Zhongshu Pingzhang, and was in charge of six affairs in Shangshu Province. Therefore, he took power in politics, and his power was far superior to that of others in the ruling and opposition. At one time, the minister flattered him more. Every time Xu Heng discussed with him, he would be outspoken and never give in. Soon after being transferred to Zuo Cheng, Xu Heng repeatedly requested to resign.
The emperor had long wanted to set up Imperial College. It happened that Xu Heng tried his best to resign again and again, so he agreed to his request first. In the eighth year (Zhiyuan), the emperor ordered Xu Heng to be a great scholar in Jixian, and also served as a national son to offer a drink offering, and personally selected Mongolian disciples for Xu Heng to educate him. When Xu Heng was appointed, he said happily, "This is what I should do. The children of Chinese people have not lost their primitive and simple qualities, and they are very attentive to what they see and hear. If they are trained among kind and virtuous people for a few years, they will certainly become useful talents for the country. " At that time, the selected disciples were still young. Xu Heng treated them as adults, cared for them as his own children, and the etiquette of going in and out was as strict as the relationship between the monarch and the minister. In the spare time of reciting after school, let them learn etiquette and sometimes practice calligraphy and arithmetic.
(Later) Xu Heng requested to return to his hometown of Huaizhou due to illness. In the eighteenth year (Zhiyuan), Xu Heng was seriously ill. He died soon at the age of 73. People in Huaizhou, rich and poor, young and old, all cried and worshipped Xu Hengling. Scholars from all over the world gathered together and burst into tears when they heard the news of Xu Heng's death. Some people came thousands of miles to Xu Heng's grave to weep and worship.
