Preface
Xu Xiake was a tourist and geographer of the Ming Dynasty. Spend your whole life and risk your life. Overcame more tortuous difficulties than "Tang Monk's Pursuing". (Note: "Tang Monk's Pursuing" went through "nine-nine and eighty-one difficulties, and finally achieved success"), traveled thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the motherland on foot, and wrote a 600,000-word poem. `Literary masterpiece - "Xu Xiake's Travels". It left behind valuable scientific reference materials for future generations. Nowadays, as people traveling by air, we admire the world of difference compared to our predecessors. Therefore, I applaud Xiake’s feat.
A sage through the ages
Xia Ke, a sage through the ages,
traveled to Yunnan as an ascetic at his own expense.
The achievement of "travel notes" will be passed down to future generations,
The value of scientific research is unprecedented.
Strong will
Xiake’s journey for decades was more difficult than “Tang Monk’s journey to learn Buddhist scriptures”.
"Eighty-one Difficulties" come to block it,
If the goal is not achieved, it will not be returned.
Dedication
Xiake’s iron bones can still be learned.
He does not strive for fame and power.
Travel thousands of miles alone to observe the world,
Dedicate "travel notes" to the ages.
Inspire future generations
Xiake walked across the river,
I took the opportunity to travel all over the sky.
People today and ancient people share the same sunshine,
but it is like honey and coptis.
Nowadays, everyone is engaged in science and technology,
There are many sages coming one after another.
In order to create a lasting legacy for future generations,
Come and donate your blood to the world
