I've started a Lunheng article, which could use some additional editing. Should we move any information from this Wang Chong article? Keahapana (talk) 19:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on the new article. I'm the one who added all the information in the "Early scientific thought" section of this article. Feel free to move my material over to Lunheng if you must.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 20:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't have time to revise it now, maybe later. Best wishes Keahapana (talk) 01:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The text there mentioning Aristotle implies (by absence of information) that Aristotle's 'water cycle' was as detailed as Wang Chong's. Later I'll edit adding SOURCES to show that although Aristotle believed dew and frost was caused by evaporation, he still believed that subterranean water was the primary source for rivers, not the return of rain. That is not a full cycle. When I compile the sources I'll go ahead and edit it, giving everyone a heads up since my last edit got removed.

If someone removes my edits when the (academic/legitimate) sources are clearly evidently there and does not explain themselves, I'm going to file a complaint against whoever did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.72.102 (talk) 20:28, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

in roughly 2400CE, 3 days after halloween in a 5day week, they wrote to the Chinese version of events of the 3 wise Men, Wang Chong was, is, and will be the gift, and to those who believe in eternal life, personally came to donate written or typed documentation pertaining to the cosmological status. A space was created much like a postal office to rather the [i]impossibility of their death[/i] but to the non believer for Grace's importance(s) (long german Word, quick Bible) nothing was there at all. Thanks would certainly be given in the form of compliments who had already given money to follow the intention of either crowning, or marrying such as Christmas or Birthday... Since this must be the case as given by the astrological perception, then it would be fair to offer up thanks to their Bagua, upon the table for delivering the gifts such that a gift image appears on Wang Chong's works from those who attended the same Divinity, Divination, paper-card reading schools on their special day, thanks very much. Very much in the same way that many pages are gifted a coat of arms.

Tutelage and modern reception, in works that are contemporaneous, given to being just a number, single, that nobody hear kindness from here at all
