Shen Kuo went up the mountain to see peach blossoms. "In April, the flowers in the world are exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are open." When reading this poem, Shen Kuo's eyebrows condensed into a knot. "Why are the flowers here defeated and the peach blossoms on the mountain open?" In order to solve this mystery, Shen Kuo and some friends went to the mountains for a field trip.
On the mountain in April, it was still warm and cold at first sight, and the cool wind struck, making people tremble with cold, and Shen Kuo was in full bloom. It turns out that the temperature on the mountain is much lower than that under the mountain, so the flower season comes later than that under the mountain. With this spirit of searching and empirical method, Shen Kuo wrote Meng Qian's Pen Talk when he grew up.
