Statue of Shen Kuo
Shen Kuo started traveling with his father when he was a child. At the age of fourteen, Shen Kuo had already browsed all the books at home, and Shen Kuo was also very studious and thoughtful at ordinary times, which was the initial basis for Shen Kuo to write his famous works later.
Shen Kuo's most famous work is Meng Qian's Bi Tan. This book records history, literature, art and science in great detail. Shen Kuo's book Meng Qian Bi Tan is named Meng Qian Bi Tan because it was written in Meng Qian Park. Meng Xi's written talk has a great influence on later generations, so later generations worship and respect Shen Kuo very much.
Of course, when people often talk about Shen Kuo, they are not only full of praise for Shen Kuo's works, but also interested in the relationship between Shen Kuo and Su Dongpo. Both of them are historical celebrities, but historical records show that the relationship between them is not good. The reason is that when Su Shi was demoted, Shen Kuo also hit people when they were down several times. But in the end, when both of them almost retired in their own nursing homes, Shen Kuo always liked to chat with Su Dongpo, so the talents of Su Da hated and loved him, but fortunately, both of them were knowledgeable and polite, and of course they could get along better.
Where did Shen Kuo come from? Anyone who knows Shen Kuo knows that he has a famous work, which is Meng Qian's Bi Tan. The name of this famous book is named after Shen Kuo. So, where is Shen Kuo from? He is from the Northern Song Dynasty. If Shen Kuo is from somewhere, he should be from Zhejiang now.
Shen Kuo, who traveled all over the world.
Maybe many people don't know much about his background of traveling around the world. When my father was an official, he stayed in Kaifeng, Quanzhou and other places, so all kinds of travels with his father may be vague about where he came from, but he is really from Zhejiang. When he was a teenager, he read all the books at home, which is why his mother carefully supervised him. His mother is also a literate woman. It is estimated that this influence will greatly promote Shen Kuo's future knowledge.
Besides the well-known Shen Kuo, in fact, besides science and literature, Shen Kuo is an expert in agriculture. He effectively controlled the flood, reclaimed a lot of farmland, and wrote books on it, which made great contributions to the present and future generations. His talent is really amazing. For example, the weir he designed is a great innovation in history, and the accuracy of calculation is simply admirable. Moreover, Shen Kuo has a strong concept of environmental protection. At present, our economy has developed rapidly and our living standards have been greatly improved, but at the cost of the environment, it seems that it is not worth the candle. Later, we made remedies, but the environmental problems were still very serious. Shen Kuo had this consciousness in such a distant ancient time, and did not cut down trees at will. If we had noticed it long ago, it wouldn't have caused such serious environmental deterioration today.
Shen Kuo is really a rare talent.
Shen Kuo, like Shen Kuo, is a famous writer in the history of China, and has always been admired and cared for by future generations. In Meng Xi Square, there is a statue of Shen Kuo. This statue has a history of more than 20 years. For the local people, this statue is a symbol of the whole city and a part of it. We can also see the respect for Shen Kuo from here.

Because it has existed for more than 20 years, Shen Kuo's image has become somewhat broken after 20 years of storms. This also makes the citizens feel heartache. Then a post reflecting the broken statue of Shen Kuo was posted on the Internet, and people realized that the statue of Shen Kuo really should be well maintained. After all, it is one of the outstanding representatives in the history of China, symbolizing the civilization of China.
The maintenance of Shen Kuo statue has always been concerned by everyone. Some reporters went to shoot the statue, and many enthusiastic citizens helped to find the cracks on the statue. I don't know if I can find it. I was shocked when I found it. There are two obvious cracks at the joint between the statue of Shen Kuo and the pedestal, and the red brick has been exposed. Not only the joints, but most of the whole base has cracked.
After learning about this situation, the reporter went to some relevant departments and some people who participated in the production of this statue at that time. Only then did I realize that the quality of the statue was not very good in terms of manpower and material resources and the level of construction at that time. Now after so long, the damage is normal. But in any case, I still hope that the relevant departments can have a good repair. After all, it represents a generation's feelings for Shen Kuo.
Shen Kuo, Shen Kuo and Guo Shoujing were both born in an official family, and their names were Meng Xi's husbands. They are Han Chinese. When he was young, he traveled around the world with his father. He was a famous scientist and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty. Guo Shoujing's grandfather was a great scholar. He taught Guo Shoujing to read the Five Classics and learn knowledge. He was a famous astronomer and water conservancy expert in Yuan Dynasty.

Shen Kuo was a scholar in Jiayou for eight years, and became famous. He became the commander-in-chief of Yangzhou and joined the army. Later, Zaixi was valued by Wang Anshi in the Ning Reform and was promoted to an official position. Shen Kuo devoted himself to scientific research all his life, and was praised as "the most outstanding figure in the whole history of science in China". Among them, the most famous work is Meng Xi Tan, which is rich in content and can be called a master of the previous generation's scientific achievements, which has had a great influence on later generations and has a very important position in history. In the second year of Zhiping, Huainan Road was recommended by Zhang E, and Shen Kuo was transferred to Beijing to start editing and proofreading books in Zhaowen Museum. During this period, he participated in the work of making the armillary sphere, and used his spare time to study the calendar, and has been doing his best to do research. He has made great efforts in mathematics, physics and astronomy, and many famous things are still being studied today.
Guo Shoujing put forward six suggestions on improving water conservancy to Kublai Khan through recommendation, which were adopted and reused, and then worked with Wang Xun in Taishi Museum. He has been a diligent person since he was a child, and he is very interested in some strange things. So he entered the Taishi Museum, and Wang Xun put forward the idea that "the calendar is based on examination, and the instrument of examination is not the first instrument". Guo Shoujing was appointed as the water supervisor and was responsible for repairing the canal from the Yuan Dynasty to Tongzhou. Finally, Wang Xun died, took charge of Taishi Museum and edited the most famous Chronological Calendar.
Shen Kuo and Wang Anshi, Shen Kuo and Wang Anshi are all famous figures and wizards in the history of China. It is obvious to all that they have made outstanding contributions in the history of China. These two men are both figures in the second half of the eleventh century, each with his strong points and bright points. They cooperated very well, and even many people thought that Jean Shen Kuo was Wang Anshi's right-hand man or staff officer in history.

The relationship between these two people is extraordinary and willful, and they never hide it. It is precisely because of this that they can achieve great things. You should have heard of the Gang of Four. When the Gang of Four drew a clear line with Confucianism and Legalism. The relationship between Shen Kuo and Wang Anshi became an important figure in promoting Wang Anshi's legalist line. Some people say that Wang Anshi and Shen Kuo didn't know each other and had no friendship in their early years. However, some people say that Wang Anshi once wrote an epitaph for Shen Kuo's father, so these two people should have known each other for a long time, and their friendship is not shallow.
This problem has long been impossible to demonstrate in history. But in any case, the thoughts of Wang Anshi and Shen Kuo left a deep impression on later generations. Of course, Wang Anshi's overall planning thought has been influencing Shen Kuo's overall planning thought. There is a word called "coincidence". It is appropriate to use this word to describe these two people. Their ideas are basically the same.
However, if we read Shen Zhou's epitaph, we can easily see that Shen Kuo and Wang Anshi did not know each other at the beginning. At the beginning of the epitaph, this problem has been explained. Wang Anshi said that he was invited here. It can be seen from here that there was no friendship between them at that time, otherwise Shen Kuo would not have to "please Wang Anshi" through "his ancestors".
The Story of Shen Kuo This is a story about Shen Kuo, so several people have to mention it. These people have a great influence on Shen Kuo's life or Shen Kuo's works, and they are indispensable in Shen Kuo's story.

First of all, the person related to Shen Kuo is Shen Kuo's mother. Shen Kuo's mother is a very educated and educated woman. When Shen Kuo was a teenager, he developed a studious attitude at home and completed the study of thousands of books under the guidance and company of Shen's mother. This also made Shen Kuo develop a good habit of loving reading and learning from an early age.
Then his father influenced Shen Kuo. In Shen Kuo's story, his father played an eye-opening role in Shen Kuo. Because it was easy for his father to be an official, Shen Kuo was lucky enough to travel around with his father, which was of course very helpful for Shen Kuo to write Meng Qian Bi Tan later.
On the road of work, Wang Anshi is the one who has to mention the relationship with Shen Kuo. After Wang Anshi was appointed as prime minister, he began to carry out the political reform movement. At that time, Shen Kuo was loved and valued by Wang Anshi, so Shen Kuo was in high spirits and held an important position.
But all this was reduced to ashes after the failure of Wang Anshi's political reform. Because Shen Kuo was demoted later, Shen Kuo finally lost his desire to be an official and came to live in Meng Xi Park. It was here that Shen Kuo wrote a written talk about Meng Xi, which was widely circulated by later generations. Shen Kuo also changed from a politician to a scientist and writer. And these three people in Shen Kuo's life, of course, also has an indelible mark.
