Xu Han was born in Dahewu Village, five kilometers southeast of Dengshan Mountain. He made outstanding achievements in scholarship, epigraphy, collation, poetry, etc. He was a famous scholar and calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. However, after passing the imperial examination, he went to Beijing several times to take the exam and failed. . Gong Zizhen, an outstanding figure of the same generation, once gave Xu Han a poem that said: "You are the first scholar in the north, and you are the best at hearing everything in Jiangzuo." The soil is thick, the water is deep, and the words are strong. I will trouble you to decide my writing someday. The famous scholar Ding Yan also wrote a poem and said that the Six Classics, Ling Keyian, is only the primary school, and Yin Lin, my friend, is unparalleled. When Xu Han visited Dengshan in his later years, he looked up at Shangyuan Village at the east foot of the mountain and recalled the experience and state of mind of the passerby Yangjiao Mountain. He was deeply moved and admired its reputation, so he started writing and writing. Ding Genshan was Xu Han's favorite disciple. Especially when his mentor was in embarrassment in his later years, he gave him financial help and spiritual support.
