Translation:
Zhang Pu was very studious when he was a child. The book he reads must be copied down by hand. After reading them, he burned them and copied them again. It took six or seven times to finish. Where the right hand holds the pen, the fingers and palms will grind calluses. In winter, my hands are wrinkled and cracked with cold. I soak my hands in hot water several times a day. Later, the room where he studied was called "Seven Records" ... Zhang Pu wrote poems and essays with agile thinking, and people from all walks of life asked him for poems and essays. He didn't draft it, but wrote it in front of the guests, and it was written in a short time. Because of this, his reputation was the loudest at that time.
