Mengxi Pen Talk (Supplementary Pen Talk Volume 2 Translation) - Shen Kuo (Northern Song Dynasty)

author:Subset of scriptures and poems and songs

Lu Zhao's discussion of the tide of the sea is extremely unreasonable to say that "the sunrise is not stirred up". If because of the sunrise, when the day is constant, is there sooner or later? Yu often examines his festivals, and every month is approaching the child and noon, then the tide is born, and the waiting is absolutely perfect. This is the time when the sea is waiting, when the tide is born. To go far to the sea, that is, to add time according to geography. Those born at noon of the moon are tides, then those born of the right son are tides; those born of the right son are tides, and those born of noon are tides.

  Lu Zhao's argument about the tide, thinking that the tide is caused by the agitation of sunrise and sunset, is extremely unreasonable. If it is because of sunrise and sunset, then the formation and receding of the tide should have a fixed time every day, and how can there be early and late? I have examined the temporal laws of tidal wave generation, and whenever the moon is in the position of "lower middle heaven" and "upper middle heaven", it will be generated, and this observation is absolutely error-free. (This is the tidal moment obtained from the sea observation, and if it is farther from the sea, the time must be increased according to the specific geographical location.) If the tide generated by the moon is just "upper and middle heaven", then it is just "lower middle heaven" that generates tides; if it is generated by the moon just "lower middle heaven" is called tide, then it is just "upper and middle heaven" that generates tides.

  The calendar is found in the scriptures, but the Yaodian says, "Death is made at four o'clock in the leap month." "The method of setting leaps has existed since the Time of Yao, and it is unknown how it was before the ancient times. The law of setting a leap is left behind by the holy king before, and it is not properly debated. However, things that are inherent in the ancients have not arrived and are in the future generations, such as the difference between the poor and so on, are out of the recent world, and there is no suspicion of ancient and modern times. Where a day comes out and goes, it is a day, and a month is a profit and loss is called a month. Although the sun and the moon are named, the twenty-ninth day of the moon is strange, and the day is restored; the twelfth day is still alive. Accumulate thirty-two months, the rest of the time, qi and Shuo gradually distanced, the middle qi is not in this month, the name and reality are multiplied, plus January is called "leap". Leap birth is a last resort, and the use of the house is also wedge. Since then, the qi and the shuo have been in contention, and the years of death have been chaotic. Four o'clock out of place, the arithmetic is complicated. Whenever the moon is accumulated, the four o'clock is the death, the yin and yang fade, and the festival of all things is born and killed, and all things are only in the qi. But the profit and loss of the month is not the comfort of the funeral. This is the month of December, and the anger is not the Lord's government this month. When the time is already called the spring, and the government of killing is still practiced, then shuo is also in qi. It is said that the spring of the B is in vain, and the winter of the real armor is also; the fashion is called the winter, and the order that has happened is also the latter. The winter of the A curse is also the spring of the real Yi Yi. It is the positive, second, third, and fourth of the empty name that are true, and the reality of life and death is the opposite of the meaning, and the warts of the leap moon are born, which the ancients did not think about. Now for the art, Mo Ruo used twelve qi for a year, let alone december. Straight to the day of the spring as the day of Mengchun, the sting as the day of the mid-spring, the end of the thirty days, the end of the death, never a leap left. December is often one large and one small, even if two small phases are combined, one is not more than once. In this way, the spirit of the four hours is always correct, and the government is not overpowered. The five stars of the sun and the moon, and since then, there is no need to change the old law. Only the profit and loss of the moon, although there are things related, such as the sea, fetal breeding, etc., do not predict the cold and summer festivals of death, and the calendar can also be. Taking the first year of the Yuan Dynasty as the law, when Meng Chun is small, one day nongyin, three days looking, nineteen days Shuo; mid-spring is big, one day nongshen, three days is looking, eighteen days Shuo. Wouldn't it be simple to be flat on such a calendar day, to spell the fortunes of heaven, and to make up for the work of heaven? There are more than enough and insufficient in the a priori days, and people have doubted what they say. It is also said that the twelve times Dou Jian should migrate with the funeral, and the more frightening the people are. In this calendar, it is especially important to take the blame and attack angrily. When it is different, it will be useful to say the rest.

  The calendar is found in ancient scriptures, and only the Shangshu Yaodian says that "the leap month is used to adjust the time and day to determine the four seasons of the year, and to form a one-year-old calendar." The method of setting up a leap month, because Yao's era has only begun to exist, and the situation before ancient times is not known what it was like. The method of setting up a leap month was handed down by the ancient saint kings, and although there should be no objection, there were things that the ancients had not done and waited for future generations to do. Such as precession, until the recent world did not find out, of course, this is not suspected of changing from the present to the ancient. Whenever the sun haunts once, it is called a day; and once the moon loses, it is called January. Although it is a fixed name to record the movement of celestial bodies with the sun and the moon, there is a surplus of the twenty-ninth day of the moon's operation to meet the sun, and there is still a remaining time; the accumulation of thirty-two months will have the remaining time of the rendezvous, and the misalignment of the solar terms and the New Year is getting farther and farther away, so that the middle gas is not in the month, and the name is contrary; for this reason, it is necessary to add a month, called the leap month, so the leap month is also out of necessity, just as the door to build a house must add lintels and door frames. Since then, solar terms and new days have clashed with each other, resulting in calendar years being confused, the seasons out of place, and complicated calculation data. The accumulation of March as one season, the accumulation of four seasons into a year, the dissipation of yin and yang, the cycle of life and death of all things, all the changes in the rhythm, all due to the transformation of the solar terms, and only according to the moon's profit and loss calendar, it is not related to the yin and yang changes in the operation of the year. Now, it is only for heshuo to determine twelve months, and the solar terms cannot dominate the personnel activities of the month. For example, the calendar season is already called spring, and personnel activities are still carried out according to the season of the depression of all things, and this is the case before the solar terms, so that a certain season is called the spring of the year B, and in fact it is still the winter of the previous year; conversely, the calendar season also says that a certain season is the winter of the first year, and the personnel activity has begun to be carried out according to the season of the growth of all things, and the new day is after the solar terms, so it is said in vain that a certain season is the winter of the year of the year A, and in fact it is the spring of the next year and the year of the year. In this way, the so-called new month is in vain, but February, March or April is in line with the reality of the beginning of the year. In this way, in the calendar, the solar terms that reflect the growth or depression of all things are instead of an ancillary nature, and thus give rise to the burden of leap months, probably because the ancients did not think deeply. Now to improve the calendar, there is no better way than to adopt the following method, that is, to use the twelve mid-qi (twenty-four solar terms) as a year, let alone twelve leap months, directly taking the day of spring as the first day of the first month of Mengchun, the first day of the mid-spring month, the big month is thirty-one days, the small month is full of thirty days, the years are neat and tidy, and the leap month is never needed. Twelve months are always one large and one small, and even if there are two small months side by side, it is only once a year. In this way, the four solar terms will always be in line with the calendar, the activities of the annual year will not be invaded, and the natural obedience to the operation of the sun, moon, and five stars will not be necessary to modify the old calendar. It is only the profit and loss of the moon, although some things seem to be related to it, such as the rise and fall of the sea tide, the conception of the fetus, etc., but it is not related to the changes in the cold and summer of the year, and it can be attached to the above calendar. Quan also took the first year of the Yuan Dynasty as an example to show his method: when the first month of Mengchun is a small month, the first day of the dry branch is Nongyin, the third day of the moon is looking, and the nineteenth day is the heshuo day; the mid-spring February is the big month, then the dry branch of the first day is nongshen, the third day of the moon is looking, and the eighteenth day is the heshuo day. In this way, isn't the calendar simple, neat and smooth, with the operation of celestial bodies without the hassle of repairing and calculating? I had previously tested the hundred moments of each day and night, and found that the hours were sometimes surplus and sometimes insufficient, and some people had doubted my opinion; and I had said that the twelve times a year Dou Jian (monthly construction) migrated with precession, and some people were even more astonished and frightening. Now my new theory of the method of making calendars will probably be especially startled and attacked and scolded by some people, but in the future someone will certainly adopt my doctrine.

  In the first year of Baoyuan, the party besieged Yan'an for seven days, and the number of people in danger was counted. Fan Shilangyong is handsome and worried. An old military academy came out and said to himself: "A certain side of the people, the besieged city several times, its momentum is close to today's." The prisoners are not good at attacking, and the pawns cannot be pulled out. Today,100,000 yuan Yu, so-and-so can be guaranteed. If there is an accident, a certain Gan beheaded. "Fan Jiaqi's words are strong, and he is also Xiao'an. In peace, this school was greatly rewarded and promoted, and those who knew the soldiers and were good at predicting the enemy were the first to be called. Or, in other words: "When you dare to speak recklessly, in case your words are not verified, you must bow to the law." The school laughed and said, "Jun wei zhi zhi zhi ya." If the city falls, why kill me? Talk about peace of mind. ”

  In the first year of Baoyuan (1038), the Western Xia army besieged Yan'an for seven days, and the city of Yan'an was close to falling several times. Shi Fanyong was a bian shuai and worried. At this time, an old military academy stood up and said to himself: "I am a borderlander, I have experienced many battles under siege, and the situation at that time was similar to today's." The party members are not good at attacking the city, and in the end they cannot take the siege of the city, and today's events must not be worried. I can make a military warrant that if my words do not work, I will be killed. Fan Shuai appreciated his bold words, and people's hearts were slightly stable for a while. After the war subsided, the military academy was greatly rewarded and promoted, and people talked about those who could know the soldiers and respond well to the enemy, and they all praised him first. Someone said to him, "You dare to talk nonsense, in case nothing is not tested, you will be punished by the military law." The military academy smiled and said, "You didn't think about it, if the city is indeed captured, who cares about killing me?" At that time, it was just to stabilize the hearts and minds of the army. ”

  In qingjian city, there were monks of the Purple Mountain Temple, and congo had a plan, and they named themselves righteous martyrs. Shiheng extended the door, did whatever he wanted, and provided billions of dollars without calculation. Song is an alcoholic, And The Fox Bo does everything, and the thicker the world is. Leaving the rest of the life, Song is also deeply moral and worldly, and there is no doubt about himself. One day, Shi Heng suddenly said angrily: "If I treat Ru like this, then yin and thief are connected, why should they be negative?" "Dragging down the weapon and pounding it is extremely painful. In January, the number of dead is counted. Song finally did not bow down, and said: "Song, husband too!" If the public listens to the adulterers, and if he wants to see and kill, he will die. In the end, do not pretend to be unjust. "Resolutely disregarded. Shi Heng judged his indomitability, and in order to untie the bath, he re-extended into the bed, and thickly caressed Xie Zhizhi: "Er, there is no fault, talk about trying each other's ears." If you want to do it, if you can be threatened, you will leak my business. Can the people who set up the enemy to see the poor in this way not be negative? Song silently said, "Try to do it for the public." Shi Henghou left behind, and several secrets of the Israeli army were told: "You can use this hand to still falsely report to the Western Qiang." Before leaving, Shi Heng Xie gave him the robe he was wearing: "Hu Di is bitterly cold, and this is a farewell." To the other, one must ask for a beggar, and no one can win his henchmen. "When begging, the conspirators of the captives are also." Song did as he was taught, and begged for a beggar. The people are suspicious and cling to it. For a few days, or in the collar of the robe, the world was balanced and the beggar was written, and the words were very dense. Song Chu did not know how to receive the Book, and the prisoners were prepared for suffering, and finally did not speak of affection. Because of the suspicion of begging, the captives were abandoned and moved to the north. For a long time, when begging, he finally died in doubt. Song encounters and returns home, and does everything in return. The dynasty moved to record his labor, supplemented the right servant ban, and returned to the surname of king. Song Hou was an official to an envoy, and is still known as the king and monk. Shi Heng ben sold Song for death, and survived the encounter, but also fate. After Kangding, Shiheng counted surprisingly. Yu zaibian, who was very detailed by the bianren, recorded his deeds for the new temple statue.

  When Zhong Shiheng first built Qingjian City, there was a monk of the Purple Mountain Temple, Fa Song, who was resolute and strategic, and called himself a hero who dared to dedicate himself to loyalty and righteousness. Shiheng recruited him as a guest and allowed him to indulge in unbridled wealth for him to squander. Fa Song drank and gambled and did everything, and the more Shi Heng treated him, the more kindly he was. After more than a year, Fa Song was also deeply grateful to Shi Heng and did not doubt Shi Heng's trust in him. One day, Shi Heng suddenly became angry and said to Fa Song, "I treated you so kindly, and you secretly colluded with the Qiang people, why did you fail me?" "Ordered to be dragged down and handcuffed, imprisoned, and flogged and tortured, extremely harsh. Within a month, Fa Song was tortured to death several times, but in the end he did not confess his guilt, saying, "My Fa Song is a great husband." If you want to kill me, you will kill me, but I will never confess anything that I have not done, and accept this unjust name that you have imposed on me. "Resolutely disregard Shiheng's behavior." Shi Heng knew that he could not yield, so he took off the rope torture device for him, let him bathe and change clothes, led him to his bedroom, deeply comforted and apologized, saying: "You are not at fault, I will try you." I want you to be a spy, and if you are coerced and can't bear it, you will leak my secrets. If the Qiang people also tortured you as much as I tried you this time, can you not fail me? Fa Song was silent, and then said, "I'll try it for the government." Shi Heng sent him away with a generous gift of money, and told him a few military secrets, saying: "You use these secrets as an excuse to pretend that Xitou is to report the secrets to the Xiqiang people." When Fa Song was leaving, Shi Heng took off the silk cotton robe he was wearing and gave it to him, saying, "The land of the Hu people is cold and cold, so I will take this as a gift for separation." When you get there, you have to do whatever it takes to meet the beggar, unless this person, you can't get their confidant secrets. "When he meets a beggar, he is the first conspirator of Western Xia." According to Shi Heng's arrangement, Fa Song smuggled the border to Western Xia and asked to see Yu Beg. The Qiang people were wary and suspicious of him, and arrested him and sent him to the relevant institutions. A few days later, someone ripped through his cotton robe and searched, and found a letter from Shi Heng to Yu Beg in the collar of the cotton robe, and the words were very sincere and intimate. Fa Song did not know that there was this letter in the collar, and the Qiang people tortured him to the point, but Fa Song never told the truth. The Qiang people suspected that they had met a beggar, so they released Fa Song and transferred him to the northern region of Western Xia. Soon after, Xixia changed, and Yu Qi was eventually killed because of suspicion. Fa Song was able to escape when he encountered the opportunity, and reported the situation in Qiangzhong to the imperial court. The imperial court affirmed his merits, granted him the title of Right Attendant, and made him vulgar and duplicate his surname as King. Song later became an official and an envoy, and people in the border areas still call him Wang Monk. Shi Heng originally betrayed Fa Song and used his death to alienate the Qiang people, but he was able to survive when he encountered the opportunity, which was also his life. After the Kangding period, Shiheng Shoubian made many strange plans; when I was serving at the border, I learned the deeds of the wang monk from the border people, which were very detailed, so I rebuilt the temple statue for him and recorded his deeds with this article.

  In the auspicious charm, the fire is prohibited. When Princess Ding Jin camped back in the palace room, suffering from the soil far away, the Gong Nai ordered the chiseling through the Qu to take the soil, and soon became a giant graben. It was the water that was put into the trench, and the bamboo rafts and miscellaneous materials were transported by boat, and they entered the palace gate as much as they could. At the end of the matter, he discarded the rubble and gray soil in the trench and restored it to a street. In one fell swoop, the provincial cost is hundreds of millions.  At the beginning of the country, the two Zhejiang dragon boats, more than 20 meters long, were on the upper floor of the palace room, and set up a royal bed for you to be lucky. Fu Jiu's abdomen was defeated and wanted to be repaired, and the water could not be constructed. In Xi Ningzhong, the eunuch Huang Huaixin offered a plan, and in the north of Jin Mingchi, he chiseled a dragon boat, which could accommodate a dragon ship, and placed a pillar under it, and completed it with a large wooden beam, restored the water floating boat, and removed the beam and pillar. With the big house, it became the room where the ship was hidden, and there was never any danger of exposure.

  During the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu, a fire broke out in the imperial palace. At that time, Ding Jingong (said) presided over the construction and restoration of the palace, and considered that the soil was too far away, so he ordered the road in front of the palace to be chiseled to take the soil. Within days, the avenue had become a huge trench. Therefore, the embankment of the water was broken, and the water was diverted into the trench, so that the bamboo rows, rafts and boats transporting various materials from all over the country came directly from the trench to the palace gate. After the completion of the project, the abandoned rubble was filled into the trench and renovated into a street thoroughfare. Three successful efforts in one fell swoop can save hundreds of millions of dollars.

  Li Xueshi Shiheng, like to collect books. There is a Jinren inkblot, at the place of its sub-sub-body. Chang'an Shi was engaged in tasting a copy borrowed from Li Jun, and stole a copy to offer Wen Lu gong, thinking that it was an authentic manuscript. One day, Lu Huihui was a guest, producing calligraphy and paintings, and Li zai, when he saw this post, was shocked: "This post is my family's property, why did it come to this place?" "The urgency to return, to take the test, is to know that the Lu Gong received is a facsimile." Li Fangzhi was passed down by Shi Jun and had the title of Duke of Bailu. And when the guest wall enters, it is said that what Lu Gong received is the real work, and what Li received is a facsimile. Li Ji sighed, "If the multitude is widowed, will it be possible to recover?" Today, Fang knows that he is lonely and cold. ”

  The scholar Li Shiheng has many books, and there is a Jin inkblot in his son Li Xu. Chang'an Renshi had borrowed this inkblot from Li Jun, secretly copied it, and dedicated it to Duke Wenlu (彦博), who thought it was a genuine manuscript. One day, Lu Huihui was a guest, showing calligraphy and painting to the guests, and Li Shiheng happened to be present, and when he saw this post, he was surprised and said: "This post is my family's collection, how did it suddenly get here?" "Hurriedly asked people to go home to get the proof, and they knew that lu gong's collection was a facsimile. Li Shiheng found that the facsimile was passed on by Shi Jie, so he told Lu Gong the origin of the matter, and the guests rushed up and crowded into the human wall, saying that Lu Gong's collection was the real handwriting, and thought that what Li Shi had received was the facsimile. Li Shiheng then sighed: "They are many and powerful, and I am alone, how can I explain clearly to them?" Today I learned about the loneliness of identity. ”

  Nowadays, the world calls it a book of letters, but it is only the "eight-point book" of the ancients, that is, the first change from the seal to the subordination, there is still a two-point seal law, so it is called the eight-point book. Later, it became the Lishu, that is, the present-day main book, chapter grass, xingshu, and cursive writing. Later generations mistakenly referred to the ancient eight-point book as the book of affiliation, and the book of the present time as the main book, and they do not know that the so-called true book is the ear of the right person who is attached to the book. The rest of the writing and cursive writing are also written. Du Fu's "Li Chao Eight Points Small Seal Song" Yun: "Chen Cangshi Drum Text has been blackmailed, and the size of the two seals is eight points." The light monks of Kuxian County are bone-standing, and the book is expensive, thin and hard. "Bitter County, Lao Tzu Vermilion Turtle Monument also." Book Review Yun: "The Han and Wei tablets and the Huashan Stele are now called Lishu ye. Du Fu's poem is also only called eight points. And "Book Review" Yun: "Han and Wei plate inscriptions, non-seal or eight points, did not try to use the book." "The Zhihan and Wei inscriptions are all eight points, and the non-Lishu is also.  In the jiangnan province library, there are many calligraphy and paintings. Its imprints include "Seal of Jianye Literary House" and "Seal of Internal Contract". "JixianDian Academy Seal", printed in ink, is called a golden book, but this seal is made of gold. Among the paintings and calligraphy, there are sometimes Li Hou themes, but the names of the calligraphers and painters have not been inscribed; only the Zhong Yin paintings, all of which are written by the Lord of the Hou Dynasty, "Zhong Yin Pen". After the lord is good at painting, especially the work of feathers. Or Yun: "Whoever says 'Zhong Yin Pen' is self-painted by the Lord." After the Lord tasted the hermit of Zhongshan, he obscured his name, called Zhong Yin. Non-surname Zhong people also. In this world, the bell painting is passed on, but there is no descendant of the lord's own subject, and it is not also. ”

  At present, the secular so-called Lishu is only what the ancients called the Eight-Point Book, which means that the change of font initially evolved from a seal script to a Lishu, and also preserves the seal law of two points, so it is called the Eight-Point Book. Later, they all became Lishu, and the current so-called main book, chapter grass, xingshu, and cursive script were originally all titles of Lishu. Later generations mistakenly called the ancient eight-point book as the Lishu, and the current common writing font as the main book, as everyone knows, the so-called Zhengshu, originally only referred to the standard Lishu; the rest of the xingshu, cursive, also have in the Lishu. Du Fu's "Li Chao's Eight-Point Small Seal Song" says: "Chen Cangshi's drum text has been falsely falsified, and the big and small two seals are born eight points." Bitter county, light monk bone standing, book noble thin hard square theosophical. The so-called "Bitter County" and "Guanghe" refer to the "Laozi Inscription" and the "Zhu Gui Monument" respectively. The Book Review said: "The Han and Wei tablets and the Huashan Stele are now the so-called Lishu. These tablet inscriptions, Du Fushi also only called the eight-point book. The Book Review also said: "The inscriptions of the Han and Wei tablets are either seal books or eight-point books, and they have never used lishu. "It can be seen that the Han and Wei inscriptions are all eight-point books, not seal books.

  In the jiangnan province library, there are many calligraphy and paintings. Its imprints include "Seal of Jianye Literary House" and "Seal of Internal Contract". "JixianDian Academy Seal", printed in ink, is called a golden book, but this seal is made of gold. Among the paintings and calligraphy, there are sometimes Li Hou themes, but the names of the calligraphers and painters have not been inscribed; only the Zhong Yin paintings, all of which are written by the Lord of the Hou Dynasty, "Zhong Yin Pen". After the lord is good at painting, especially the work of feathers. Or Yun: "Whoever says 'Zhong Yin Pen' is self-painted by the Lord." After the Lord tasted the hermit of Zhongshan, he obscured his name, called Zhong Yin. Non-surname Zhong people also. In this world, the bell painting is passed on, but there is no descendant of the lord's own subject, and it is not also. ”

  In the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are many calligraphy and paintings in the collection, and their imprints include "Seal of Jianye Literary House" and "Seal of Internal Contract". Among them, the "Seal of the Jixian Temple Academy" is printed in black ink on the calligraphy and painting, and it is called the "Golden Book", which means that only this seal is cast in gold. In various calligraphy and paintings, you will often see the inscription of Li Hou lord, but the name of the calligrapher and painter has not been inscribed, but only Zhong Yin's paintings, all of which have the three words "Zhong Yin Pen" inscribed by the Hou Lord himself. After the lord is good at painting, especially in flowers and birds. Or to say that all those who have the three words "Zhong Yin Pen" are all drawn by the Hou Lord himself, and the Hou Lord once called himself "Zhong Shan Hermit", so he hid his real name and called it "Zhong Yin", not really a person with the surname Zhong. The Zhong Yin paintings that are now rumored in the world, as long as they do not have the autograph inscription of the Later Lord, are not the authentic works of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

  There are three legs in the ancient ding, and those who can accommodate things in the middle are called manes. The method of frying and harmony, often wanting to be on the bottom and the body on the top, is easy to cook and not rotten. and ascending, then the turbidity is returned to the foot. "Ding Gua" 16: "Ding upside down, profit out of no." "Under the turbidity of evil, it must first be poured out and void; the ninety-two yang is the best of the world." Nowadays, the Great Tu of the Jingshi is a good cook, and the hook is hanging and boiling, not making the bottom of the kettle, and the will of the ancients is also the will. And the bronze incense mound, more skeletonized at the bottom, first into the fire in the mound, but with ash covered with ash, the fire is difficult to extinguish and lasting. And the hot burning mat is the one who recommends the water to gradually his toes, and bears the fall of the ash cannon. Other ancient artifacts have curved meanings, while the shape of the text and painting is probably the same. Gai has taught some teachings, each one obeys the teacher's law, and posterity will not dare to change it. Today's scholars are all surprised, strange and shallow, abandoning the ancients for their own use, not just instruments.

  In the ancient Ding, the three legs are hollow and can hold things in them, such a Ding is what the ancients called the mane. The method of cooking meat with Ding always hopes that the soup is under the meat pieces and the meat pieces float on the soup, so that it is easy to cook without rotting on the side and not rotting on the other. By the time the cooked pieces of meat are removed, the cloudy dregs are all in the foot. The first six words of the Ding Gua say: "Turn the ding foot upside down so that it is easy to pour out unclean things." "This means that after the dirt has precipitated, it must first be poured out and the foot must be emptied." Therefore, when it came to the Ninety-Two Yang, He said, "There is something to cook in the Ding." Nowadays, the famous butchers in Beijing are good at cooking whole pigs, and they are hung with hooks to cook without letting it attach to the bottom of the pot, which is also inherited from the intentions of the ancients. In addition, the ancient copper incense burner, most of them are in the bottom of the hole, when used, first put the lit incense cake into the furnace, and then cover the incense cake with ash, so that the fire is not easy to extinguish and can burn for a long time; and in order to prevent the incense burner from burning and baking the mat, so put a tray under the stove and add water to soak the three legs of the incense burner, and use it to bear the residual incense cake that fell down before it was burned. Other ancient artifacts have a tortuous and thoughtful intention, and the shape and ornamentation are mostly the same. This is because as long as the skills and knowledge of the ancients are imparted, they all abide by the teacher's law, and future generations dare not change it at will. Today's many studies, everyone has their own intentions, bizarre and unrighteous and shallow, abandoning tradition, teachers for their own use, and not only in the production of utensils.
