When Xu Qian was still young, it was the last year of the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong's reign. At that time, the Shi Chang Shi was in power and the government was very corrupt. So Xu Qian concentrated on his studies and did not become an official and pay attention to the affairs of the court. At that time, Cao Cao wanted to appoint Xu Qian to be the commander of the Air Force, offering sacrifices to wine, joining the army, and general of the five sense organs to write literature, but Xu Qian declined because he was ill. Although Xu Qian could only eat one day in two or three days and lived a very poor and miserable life, Xu Qian did not feel sad or sad because of his poor life. Later, Cao Cao wanted to appoint Xu Qian as Chief Ai, but he declined by saying that he had an old illness. In the middle period of Jian'an, Xu Qian discovered that Cao Cao had pacified the north, and felt that Cao Cao might be the hope of unifying China, so he responded to Cao Cao's recruitment and became a military officer, a wine trader, and a general of five sense organs and literature. Unexpectedly, after five or six years, he resigned and went home again because of illness.
Throughout his life, Xu Qian was famous for his "Qingxuan Ti Tao". Although Xu Qian is good at poetry, lyrics and prose. But his poetry achievements are not very high, because Zhong Rong's "Poetry" lists him as a lower grade. Although Zhong Rong may have belittled Xu Qian too much, judging from the existing poems, Xu Qian is indeed better than Wang Can and Liu Zhen were slightly inferior. Xu Qian is very famous for his Ci and Fu, and Cao Pi even commented that his Ci and Fu were no worse than those of Zhang Heng and Cai Yong.
