Zhang Heng was curious about everything in nature since he was a child. Leaves covered with dew in the morning, the burning sun at noon and the shining stars at night all interest him. Zhang Heng goes to the threshing floor with his mother every night. Children from other families are laughing and playing on the threshing floor. They chased each other and were full of laughter. Zhang Heng sat alone, looking at the unknown stars. His little hand keeps moving. He said "one, two, three", as if enjoying the fun that others could not understand. Gungun's mother felt very tired during the day, so she said to Gungun, "Heng, if you are tired, go home and rest first." But Zhang Heng ignored her mother, and her mother left without saying anything.

Zhang Heng counts the stars.

After a while, people on the threshing floor left one after another. An older child came running, patted the rolling shoulder and said, "What are you doing? No beans will fall from the sky. " Zhang Heng said without looking back, "Count the stars." Hearing Zhang Heng's words, the child smiled: "Did you count the stars?" Zhang Heng replied, "We have counted it a thousand times. We are almost finished. " At this time, an old man next to him interjected: "There are countless stars in the sky. Don't waste energy. " Zhang Heng interrupted the old man and said, "Impossible. There are only more than a thousand stars in the sky, and they will be counted soon. " Zhang Heng's father saw it and immediately went to the circus: "How can you talk to grandpa like this? Apologize quickly. " Zhang Heng apologized in shame. Looking at Zhang Heng's embarrassed expression, Zhang Heng's father understood his meaning and said, "The stars in the sky are also regular. It is convenient to divide them into constellations. " Zhang Heng smiled thoughtfully. Counting the stars according to his father's words, he learned more.

In this story, Zhang Heng's persistent spirit of seeking knowledge is considered to give us a lot of inspiration.

Zhang Hengde's childhood story

In 78 AD, a boy was born in Xie, Nanyang, Henan Province, in today's Nanyang Shiqiao. Hearing the news, the neighbors all came to congratulate. Probably none of the congratulating neighbors thought that the crying and kicking child would become a famous inventor in the future.

Zhang Heng was full of interest in machinery when he was seven years old. He was particularly curious when he saw the waterwheel in the field. How did the waterwheel get the water up? Why does the wheel turn so big? In order to understand the working principle of the waterwheel, he has to sit in the field for a long time every day and often forgets to eat. People around you think the child is very strange.

Zhang Heng was simply fascinated by the water truck. Every day after he finishes writing and reading a book, he strokes on the ground with a twig. However, he can't understand how the waterwheel works. My father saw that Zhang Heng was so obsessed with waterwheels that he didn't complain about his children like others. On the contrary, I feel that Zhang Heng is very studious and a very malleable person. So my father ran around and planned to buy an old waterwheel for Rolling to learn.

A few days later, Rolling's father bought an abandoned waterwheel from a neighboring village. Although shabby, when Zhang Heng saw his father driving home in a waterwheel, he cried happily and threw himself into his father's arms. With the waterwheel, rolling no longer has to run to the field from a distance. He can study his beloved waterwheel at home every day. At night, he can't wait to sleep with the big waterwheel.

Finally, at the age of eight, according to his long-term observation, Zhang Heng cut out a small waterwheel with a knife that was only half as high as human beings. Although the sparrow is small and complete, it is exactly like a real waterwheel. Zhang Heng put him in the basin and stirred with his hands. The water really gushed out.

Since then, Zhang Heng's reputation as a small inventor has spread all over the four villages and eight neighbors.

At that time, the villagers praised Zhang Heng, which caused Chong Wang's jealousy. Chong Wang butcher's son. He usually doesn't like studying. He is with a group of children all day. Today, he beat the Zhang family's dog with mud, and tomorrow, he beat the Wang family's chicken with a stone. On one occasion, he saw Zhang Heng sitting at the door reading a book, picking up a stone and smashing it. Rolling was so focused and unprepared that he was hit by a stone.

Zhang Heng let out a cry and picked up a small bench to beat Chong Wang while crying. Grandma who heard the news stopped rolling. Hearing Zhang Heng's crying, grandma said calmly, Son, no matter what others have done, we should not lose our minds. If you have a bench, you can beat the bad guys. Zhang Heng is full of grievances and still crying. Grandma took Zhang Heng home, closed the door and patiently said to Zhang Heng, "Reading makes people understand. You can teach Chong Wang to read. Then Chong Wang will be a good boy. "

A few days later, Zhang Heng took the initiative to find Chong Wang. Chong Wang got a fright and thought that Zhang Heng had come for revenge. He stepped back and thought he wanted to fight. Zhang said, "I'm not here to fight with you. I think you are bored all day. Please come to my home and study with us. "

The tension on Chong Wang's face was swept away and turned into doubt. Let me study at your home? I look like a wild child. Zhang Heng took Chong Wang's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go." . Reading is much more interesting than fighting.

From then on, Chong Wang embarked on the right path and served as an official for many years. Of course, this is all due to Zhang Heng.
