论衡
八十五篇文章（其中一篇已佚），用观察和论证来检验汉代的种种信念——灾异、鬼神、圣人无所不知：天自然而然、无目的地运行，就连孔子、孟子和韩非也受到批评。
简介
The “Lunheng” – the title means roughly “discourses weighed in the balance” – is a collection of 85 essays, one of them lost, that Wang Chong wrote over many years in the second half of the first century. He summed up its aim in a phrase: to hate falsehood. Chapter after chapter takes up beliefs of his time – that Heaven sends portents and disasters in response to rulers’ conduct, that the dead become ghosts, that sages know things without learning – and tests them against observation, analogy and the consistency of the texts themselves. Chapters 28 to 30 apply the same method to Confucius, Han Fei and Mencius. The book circulated little at first and was later censured for its attacks on the sages; Alfred Forke’s English translation (1907–11) made it known in Europe, and twentieth-century Chinese scholars read it as an early example of a critical, evidence-based attitude.
