Xu translated classical Chinese meticulously.

Xu's classical Chinese translation is as follows:

Xu Heng Zhong Ping is from Hanoi, Huaizhou. He once passed Heyang (now Leon Meng County, Henan Province) on a hot day and was very thirsty. There is a pear tree by the roadside, and people are scrambling to pick pears to eat. Xu Heng was the only one sitting under the tree, as always calm and unmoved. Someone asked him (why not pick pears to eat), and he said, "You can't take things that are not your own."

The man said, "Now the world is in chaos, and this pear tree has no owner." Xu Heng replied: "The pear has no owner, so my heart has no owner?"

Xu Heng was born in Yangxianli (now Xugang Village, Xindian Town, xinzheng city City, Henan Province) in the west of Xinzheng County on April 3rd (65438+May 8th, 2009). His father and his mother, Li, originally lived in Hanoi County (now Qinyang, Henan Province), and later moved to Xinzheng County to avoid the war.

According to historical records such as History of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu's suicide note, Xu's genealogy, biographies of famous officials in the Yuan Dynasty and Mongolian Historical Records, Xu Heng's family has been farming for generations, but he has been diligent and studious since childhood. He was very talented and entered school at the age of seven. Once he asked the teacher why he wanted to study, and the teacher replied, "For the imperial examination."

Xu Heng asked again, "Is that all?" The teacher was surprised. Every time he talks about a book in the future, Xu Heng will ask the truth, so that the teacher says to his parents, "Your son is clever, but I am incompetent. Please don't ask for a famous teacher. " Leave the museum. It's the same with three teachers in a row. When I grow up, I am more eager to learn. Because my family is poor and I have no money to buy books, I often run hundreds of miles to borrow books and copy them.

He once saw a book explaining the Book of Changes in a fortune teller's house, so he copied it back and read it carefully. Later, he fled to Culai Mountain to get the Book of Changes annotated by Wang Bi. At that time, despite the war, Xu Heng still insisted on reading during the day, thinking at night and practicing.
