Dream Creek Pen Talks Meteorite Translation.

In the first year of Zhiping (1064), when it was almost noon in Changzhou, there was a loud sound of thunder in the sky, and a star almost as bright as the moon appeared in the southeast; After a while there was another tremor, and the stars moved to the southwest; After another bang, it fell down and fell into the garden of Xu, a citizen of Yixing County. People from near and far saw it, the raging fire reflected the sky, and the fence of the Xu family was all destroyed by the fire. When the fire was extinguished, I saw that there was only a hole as big as a cup in the ground, very deep, and when I looked deeper, I saw that the star was shining brightly in the deep hole, and it was slowly dimming for a long time, and it was still hot and could not be approached.

And after a long time, the hole was dug out, and it was more than three feet deep, and a round stone, still hot, the size of a fist, a little pointed at the end, the color of iron, and about the same weight. Changzhou Taishou Zheng Shen got the stone and gave it to the Jinshan Temple in Runzhou, and it has been collected with a box so far, and visitors will open the box for them to visit.

Mengxi pen talks about the translation of the shape of the sun and the moon.

The shape of the sun and the moon The shape of the sun and the moon is like a pill. How do you know? It can also be verified by monthly profit and loss.

The moon has no light, especially the silver pill, and the sun is the light ear. At the beginning of the light, the sun is beside it, so the light is seen like a hook; As the day gets farther away, it shines obliquely, and the light is slightly fuller. If a projectile is coated with powder, and when viewed sideways, the powder is like a hook; Look at each other, then it is right. This has to know that it is like a pill.

Translation: The sun and moon are shaped like spheres. How do you know? This can be demonstrated by the waxing and waning of the moon.

The moon has no light, just like a small silver ball, and the sun shines on it. When the light begins to appear on the moon, the sun is on its side, so the light appears on the side of the moon and is seen like a hook; As the sun went away, it shone obliquely on the moon, so that the moonlight became a little fuller. It's like a round ball, which is half-coated with powder, and when you look at it sideways, then the place where the powder is applied is like a hook; If you look at it from the front, it's a perfect circle.

By virtue of this, we know that the shape of the moon is spherical.
