The word means to travel around an area to learn about it.
While-reading
Read the passage and check your answer.
1 In 1640, a man was seriously ill. He had to end the last trip of his life. Back home, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you regret it ”
2 “I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied.
“People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have
no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake, the greatest traveller in
Chinese history.
3 From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and
mountains. But at the time, it was very difficult to travel far. This
didn't stop him, however. At 22, he set out on his life's journey. He
travelled for about 30 years, and achieved his dream.
4 Xu made many geographical discoveries during his journey.
Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak was higher than Lianhua Peak. To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He discovered that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right!
5 Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary. This later became Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago. “Exploring the unexplored” is the best
description of Xu’s life.

The Travels and Discoveries of Xu Xiake.
Here’s a video to help you know more about Xu Xiake.
Think and Share
1.What do you think of Xu Xiake
Learning to think for question 1
To make comments on a person, it’s important to be respectful and objective.
I think Xu Xiake was brave and strong-willed, because his journeys were dangerous and hard. I also think he was curious, because most people didn’t travel much in those days.
2.Do you want to be someone like Xu Xiake
Yes, I do. Xu Xiake was so brave. He traveled for about 30 years and saw many wonderful places. He was not afraid of difficulties. I also want to see different places like him. And I want to learn from his curiosity. He climbed mountains to find out which was higher. I want to be curious like him and find new things too. His book helps us know about China long ago. If I’m like him, maybe I can write something interesting too.
No, I don’t. Traveling like Xu Xiake was really hard in the past. There were no good roads or cars. He had to walk a lot. I’m afraid I can’t stand such hard work. Also, he spent about 30 years traveling. I think I have other things to do in my life, like staying with my family and studying different things at school. So, I don’t want to be someone like him.

Li Daoyuan was a great geographer from the Northern Wei Dynasty in ancient China.
He was famous for writing the book Commentary on the Waterways Classic(《水经注》) . This book has 40
parts and over 300,000 words. It talks about 1,252 rivers in China and many other things, like cities, customs, and history.
Li Daoyuan didn't like false ideas in geography. He always went to places to study. He travelled to many places in the Central Plains to write the book.
His way of studying is still a good example for geographers today. And his book is very important for learning about ancient times.
