Xu Xiake(1587—1641), was a Chinese travel writer and geographer of the Ming Dynasty known best for his famous geographical diaries noted for his bravery and humility(谦逊). He traveled throughout China for more than 30 years, writing down his travels which became the "The Travel Diaries Xu Xiake".

Xu Xiake was known in China as a great explorer,geographer and travel writer. Born in 1587, he loved reading books about geography and nature, and from an early age wished to see the natural wonders of
the country.
Xu started to travel at the age of 22, with the encouragement of his mother. As well as exploring famous mountains and rivers, he went to places that had never been visited before. His first journeys lasted only a few months, so that he could return home regularly. But by 1639, about two years before his death, Xu had been travelling for years at a time, covering almost half of modern China.
Unlike most travellers these days, Xu travelled the hard way- on foot. He showed great courage during his journeys.
Activity 2
视频脚本
He often went without food for days, and sufered bad weather, illness, dangerous animals and even robbers. Despite all these difficulties,his curiosity about the natural world kept him going.
Xu wrote about his discoveries in his travel diaries, which are the earliest records of landscapes in Southern China. Xu's own experiences enabled him to correct several mistakes in earlier books. One of his most important discoveries was that the Jinsha River was the true source of the Yangtze River .
At more than 600,000 words, Xu’s diaries are regarded as one of the greatest works in both scientific and literary fields. Translated into modern Chinese, it is amazing to hear the voice of Xu Xiake speaking to us across the centuries about his adventures.

徐霞客是中国著名的探险家、地理学家和游记作家。 他出生于1587年，喜欢阅读有关地理和自然的书籍，从小就希望看到这个国家的自然奇观。
在母亲的鼓励下，他22岁开始旅行。 除了探索名山名河，他还去了以前从未去过的地方。 他的第一次旅行只持续了几个月，所以他可以定期回家。 但到了1639年，也就是他去世的前两年，他已经一次旅行了好几年，几乎走遍了半个现代中国。
不像现在的大多数旅行者，徐走了一条艰难的路——步行。 他在旅途中表现出极大的勇气。 他经常几天没吃东西，还要忍受恶劣的天气、疾病、危险的动物，甚至是强盗。 尽管困难重重，但他对自然世界的好奇心使他坚持了下来。

Zhang Qian (164 BC~144 BC ) is known as a great diplomat and explorer. He is “the pioneer of the Silk Road”, “the first Chinese to open his eyes to see the world” and “Columbus of the East”. He spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the western regions, and introduced species such as sweat blood horse, grape, alfalfa, pomegranate and flax from the western regions to the Central Plains, which promoted the exchange of eastern and Western civilizations.

Xu Xiake was known in China as a great explorer,geographer and travel writer. Born in 1587, he loved reading books about geography and nature, and from an early age wished to see the natural wonders of
the country.
Xu started to travel at the age of 22, with the encouragement of his mother. As well as exploring famous mountains and rivers, he went to places that had never been visited before. His first journeys lasted only a few months, so that he could return home regularly. But by 1639, about two years before his death, Xu had been travelling for years at a time, covering almost half of modern China.
Unlike most travellers these days, Xu travelled the hard way- on foot. He showed great courage during his journeys.

He often went without food for days, and sufered bad weather, illness, dangerous animals and even robbers. Despite all these difficulties,his curiosity about the natural world kept him going.
Xu wrote about his discoveries in his travel diaries, which are the earliest records of landscapes in Southern China. Xu's own experiences enabled him to correct several mistakes in earlier books. One of his most important discoveries was that the Jinsha River was the true source of the Yangtze River .
At more than 600,000 words, Xu’s diaries are regarded as one of the greatest works in both scientific and literary fields. Translated into modern Chinese, it is amazing to hear the voice of Xu Xiake speaking to us across the centuries about his adventures.

徐霞客是中国著名的探险家、地理学家和游记作家。 他出生于1587年，喜欢阅读有关地理和自然的书籍，从小就希望看到这个国家的自然奇观。
在母亲的鼓励下，他22岁开始旅行。 除了探索名山名河，他还去了以前从未去过的地方。 他的第一次旅行只持续了几个月，所以他可以定期回家。 但到了1639年，也就是他去世的前两年，他已经一次旅行了好几年，几乎走遍了半个现代中国。
不像现在的大多数旅行者，徐走了一条艰难的路——步行。 他在旅途中表现出极大的勇气。 他经常几天没吃东西，还要忍受恶劣的天气、疾病、危险的动物，甚至是强盗。 尽管困难重重，但他对自然世界的好奇心使他坚持了下来。

Zhang Qian (164 BC~144 BC ) is known as a great diplomat and explorer. He is “the pioneer of the Silk Road”, “the first Chinese to open his eyes to see the world” and “Columbus of the East”. He spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the western regions, and introduced species such as sweat blood horse, grape, alfalfa, pomegranate and flax from the western regions to the Central Plains, which promoted the exchange of eastern and Western civilizations.
