苏东坡对大自然的科学观

北宋大文豪苏东坡，一生坎坷，官宦沉浮，曾先后任近十个州的地方官，并三度贬谪黄州、惠州和儋州。他虽然是封建时代的士大夫，但对认识自然、利用自然是有建树的。如发现开发徐州煤炭，对庐山地貌特征的认识，夜探石钟山钟声之谜和合理利用水利资源等。

Nature in the scientific view of SU Dong-po

Su Tong-po （1037-1101）, a great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty of ancient China, experienced a lifetime of frustrations. With rising and falling government official positions, he had nearly ten times been prefectural local government official and was three times relegated to a secondary position in Huangzhou, Huizhou and Danzhou. Though he was an officialdom in feudal China, he made much contribution to understanding and utilizing Nature, for example, discovering and exploiting coal in Xuzhou, recognizing geomorphic features of Lushan, night exploring the mystery of bell sounds spreaded from Shizhongshan （a mountain consisted of a group of bell-like karst caves）, reasonable utilizing water resources and so on.
