There was a famous official in China's
Western Jin dynasty. He was also a renowned bibliophile and writer. He was also
a renowned naturalist. He edited an interesting book that compiled myths,
history, geography, and fantasy stories that he had heard. His name was Zhang
Hua, and a story about him is recorded in a history book.
He loved reading very much. He read lots of
books. He read all kinds of books and was interested in all subjects.
Consequently, his knowledge far exceeded that of anyone else in his time.
During China's Three Kingdoms period, the
three kingdoms were the Kingdom of Cao Wei, the Kingdom of Eastern Wu, and the
Kingdom of Shu Han.
In 263 AD, the army of Cao Wei captured the
capital of Shu Han, destroying it.
In 266 AD, a minister of the Kingdom of Cao
Wei seized power. He announced the establishment of the Jin dynasty, and the
kingdom was destroyed in the same year.
Zhang Hua lived in this chaotic era. He was
originally a minister of the Kingdom of Cao Wei. After the establishment of the
Jin dynasty, he became a key adviser to its founder.
When he was still a minister of the Kingdom
of Cao Wei, one day there was a very large bell in front of the palace that
suddenly made a loud sound without anyone striking it.
This strange phenomenon caused panic among
the people of the capital, who began to spread rumours.
They said that this was an unlucky sign,
meaning that a great disaster would occur.
Several ministers went to ask Zhang Hua,
who was very knowledgeable.
'How do you explain this strange
phenomenon?' Do you think it really is a bad omen?'
Zhang Hua smiled and answered the
ministers.
'On the day this big bell rang without
anyone ringing it, I went to observe it for any unusual activity.
In my opinion, the real reason the bell
sounded was because of a serious collapse in a large copper mine in Sichuan
Province, China. The bell sounded loudly after sensing this huge natural
disaster.
This incident is not an omen of bad luck,
so you can rest assured.
The day after Zhang Hua said these words,
news of the copper mine collapse in Sichuan Province confirmed his statement.
Everyone admired Zhang Hua's accurate
judgement.
This idiom means that the bell sounded
because it sensed the collapse of the copper mine.
It is used to describe the connection
between two things.

山崩鐘應(This large bell sounded because it
sensed the collapse of the copper mine.)
中國的西晉王朝有一個著名的官員，他也是一個著名的藏書家與文學家，他還是一個著名的博物學家，他他主編過一本有趣有的書，書裡面彙編了神話、歷史、地理與一些他所聽聞的奇幻故事，他的名字叫做張華，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他非常熱愛讀書，他讀過非常多的書，不管任何種類的書他都看，不管任何學科的書他都有興趣，因此他的見識遠遠超過當時代的所有人。
中國的三國時代的三個王國，分別是曹魏王國與東吳王國與蜀漢王國。
西元263年，曹魏王國的軍隊攻下蜀漢王國的首都，蜀漢王國滅亡。
西元266年，曹魏王國的一個大臣奪取了曹魏王國的政權，這個大臣在西元266年宣布建立晉王朝，這一年曹魏王國滅亡。
張華就生活在這個非常混亂的年代，他原本是曹魏王國的大臣，晉王朝成立之後，他成為晉王朝的開國國王的一個非常重要的參謀。
在他還是曹魏王國的大臣的時候，有一天皇宮前有一口非常大的鐘在沒有人敲的情況下，突然發出了巨大的鐘響。
這個奇特現象引起了首都人民的恐慌，所有的百姓們都在謠傳說。
這是一個非常不吉祥的徵兆，這代表會有大災禍的發生。
由於張華的學識非常的豐富，因此有幾個大臣就去問張華。
你如何解釋這個奇特的現象呢?你認為這真的是一個凶兆嗎?
張華微笑的回答這些大臣。
這口大鐘在沒有人敲動的情況下就發出鐘響的那一天，我就已經到了那口大鐘旁邊觀察是否有甚麼異樣的地方。
根據我的判斷，這口大鐘會發出聲響的真正原因是因為在中國的四川省這的地方有一個很大的銅礦發生嚴重的崩塌事件，這口大鐘感應到這個巨大的自然災害後才會發出巨大的聲響。
這件事情並不是一個凶兆，大家可以放心。
張華說完這些話的隔天，從四川省傳來的有關於銅礦崩塌的消息證實了張華的說法。
所有的人們都對張華的準確判斷感到非常的敬佩。
這句成語的意思是這一口大鐘因為感應到銅礦崩塌所以發出響聲。
這句成語被用來形容兩個事物之間發生了感應。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為地球另一端的一些變化會對你生活的環境造成影響嗎?你相信物品之間也會有感應的情況發生嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
