An ordinary family has about ten Jin of gold, so how much is it now (and in ancient times, the purchasing power of money was very high, and a penny could buy two buns)
As for Xu Xiake, his family is superior, so it is not a problem for him to travel. The following two paragraphs can explain his itinerary a little.
/kloc-When he was 0/30 years old, his mother let him out. Travel in summer, spring and autumn every year. When it is cold in autumn and winter, it is common to visit your elders. The mountains and rivers in the southeast are beautiful. Dongting, Yangxian, Jingkou, Jinling, Xing Wu and Wulin, Jingshan and Tianmu in the west of Zhejiang, Wuxie, Siming, Tiantai, Yanyan and Luojia in the east of Zhejiang are all places he is very familiar with. Some have been there two or three times, some have been there many times, and none have been there only once.
He only traveled with a slave, sometimes a monk; A crutch, a baggage. Do not deliberately pack the whole bundle, do not wrap food; I can endure hunger for several days without eating, eat whatever I can meet, eat enough and run hundreds of miles on foot. Climb the steep mountain, cross the overgrown bamboo forest, climb up and down, and cross the valley in the air, just like drawing water with a rope. Agile as an ape and strong as an ox. Take the high rock as the bed mat, the mountain stream as food and bath, and the mountain charm, wooden guests, monkeys and great apes as companions. Weak, seems to be unable to speak; But once I discussed and analyzed the context of mountains and rivers with him, searched and discussed the victories in various places, and suddenly became eloquent. Usually, I have never written a gorgeous article, but when I travel hundreds of miles away, I can rely on broken walls and dead trees, relax my branches and ears, and pick up a pen to record quickly. It seems to be an account, like a beautiful picture drawn by a master, even a person who is good at writing articles can't surpass him.
2 Xu Xiake's family is superior and talented. "He is ambitious and defiant." I have no intention of official career or fame, and I don't like the Four Books and Five Classics. I love ancient and modern historical books, national local chronicles, and national mountain and sea classics, and I have extensively dabbled in them: "The books of predecessors are all made, but I haven't seen their books, and the crowds are full of buildings, knocking like bags."
Twenty-two-year-old Xu Xiake bid farewell to his parents and embarked on a long journey: going north to Shanxi and Hebei and visiting Heng Yue; East to Zhejiang and Fujian, Deng Putuo; The remote border between Guizhou and Yunnan in southwest China; Travel to Luofu in the south and hundreds of Guangdong. Wandering for tens of thousands of miles for more than thirty years. Facing nature, like a curious and ignorant pupil: "When you smell strange things, you must explore them, and when you see danger, you must cut them off." How many years of hot and cold; Rain, snow, wind and frost along the way; The wild path is lost, and the insects and beasts are in power; There is no fearless step that binds travelers. Simply put, it is: "There is no need for a path to board a ship, and there is no need for Tianjin." How many times I fell into the mountain stream and was bruised all over; Several times, my belongings and luggage were robbed; On one occasion, when a robber from Lu Yu swam along the Xiangjiang River to the south of the lake, he was not only robbed of his property, but also suffered brutal violence-a monk named Wen Jing, who was traveling with Xu Xiake, died unfortunately because of his injuries. -The company has lost before the journey is over. "There are mountains in the west that live and die, and it is difficult for the East to travel without companions." Sadness, walking alone. Hunger and cold along the way, lack of water, salt and food, is just a very common thing. However, all this did not destroy Xu Xiake's original intention of seeking the unknown. "In ancient unknown areas, I did not hesitate to sacrifice my life, and I did my best. I expect to establish its territory and stop at the end. "
Shan Ye has a hard time and a hard journey. Sleep in the wilderness and send yourself to the grass. Song and Ming bonfires, the wind is swaying-someone is writing in the light and shadow, and under the tired and difficult conditions, it has been completely ignored. Xu Xiake has a habit of writing everything he sees and hears in his diary. "I am good at searching, especially copying." Xu Xiake kept writing. During the journey, people wrote a unique and brilliant masterpiece-Xu Xiake's Travel Notes. After 34 years of wandering outside, Xu Xiake, who is in his fifties, ended his trip and quietly returned to his hometown of Jiangyin.
As for Xu Xiake's wife,
In the genealogy of the Xu family compiled by later generations, there are the Xu family, the wife of Xia Keyuanpei, the premature death of the Xu family, the stepwife of Mingmei, and the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangyin who failed to enter the genealogy, while Mrs. Xu's dowry maid Zhou and her son are in the genealogy. The reason is: Roche forced Zhou to get pregnant and get married, and was hated by his people, so he abandoned it. ......
