Meteorite [Song] Shen Kuo In the first year of Zhiping, when Changzhou Riyu, there was a loud thunder in the sky, which was a big star, almost like the moon, and was seen in the southeast. From time to time, there was a loud bang, moving to the southwest. Another shock fell, in Yixing Minxu's Garden.
It can be seen from far and near, the fire shines brightly in the sky, and the Xu's fence is burned. It is the time when the fire breathes, and there is only one hole in the ground that is as big as a cup, extremely deep. Looking down, the stars are in it, glowing, fading for a long time, and it is still hot and unapproachable.
After a long time, it is more than three feet deep, and it is a round stone, which is still hot, and it is as big as a fist, and it is slightly sharp, and it is as heavy. The state shou Zheng stretched out, sent to Runzhou Jinshan Temple, so far the box is hidden, and visitors will look at it. In the first year of the reign of the Northern Song Dynasty, in Changzhou, when the sun set, there was a loud noise like thunder in the sky, which turned out to be a big star, almost like the moon, appearing in the southeast.
After a while, there was a loud bang and moved to the southwest. After another earthquake, the stars fell in the courtyard of a family surnamed Xu in Yixing County, and people from afar and near saw it, the fire was bright and the fence of Xu's house was burned down. Then the fire went out, and there was a cave the size of a teacup in the ground, very deep.
Looking down, the stars were inside the cave, glowing faintly. It took a long time before it gradually darkened, and it was too hot to get close. It took a long time to dig the cave, more than three feet deep, to find a round stone, still hot, the size of a fist, a little pointed at the end, the color of iron, and the weight of iron.
Changzhou's Taishou Zheng Shen got it and sent it to Runzhou Jinshan Temple for preservation. It is still hidden in a box, and when visitors get there, they open the box to show people. Wang Wuji wrote an article about this, which was recorded in great detail.
