Brief introduction of Xu Xiake, an ancient traveler
Xu Xiake was originally named Xu Hongzu, implying that he hoped to carry forward the excellent qualities of his ancestors. Xu Xiake is a Han nationality and grew up in Jiangyin, South Zhili. His belief is Confucianism. Because Xu Xiake was a famous traveler in ancient China, he traveled the north and south of the motherland and described what he saw, heard and felt, so later generations respectfully called him "You Sheng".

Xu Xiake's family is a famous family in the local area, but his parents did not live with the wealth left by their ancestors. Twenty built a new world by their own hands. His father is also a person who likes to travel around. He has no interest in official career, and he doesn't like dealing with powerful people. Xu Xiake, who followed his parents since childhood, is naturally influenced by this and is determined to be a person who travels around the world.
When Xu Xiake was eighteen, his father died. Since then, he and his mother lived together, because there was an old mother at home, so he gave up the ideal of traveling. However, Xu, who knew his son's thoughts, encouraged him to go out and realize his dream. With the support of his mother, Xu Xiake began his dream-chasing journey.
Therefore, Xu Xiake's later achievements were completely fulfilled by his mother.
