More than four hundred years ago, the traffic was very underdeveloped, Xu Xiake traveled to such a vast area, relying entirely on his own legs, and he mainly investigated steep peaks and rapids. There is a risk of death at any time. From this, we can also see how big Xu Xiake's determination to practice life is and how strong his will is. During his travels and expeditions, Xu Xiake encountered robbers three times and starved of grain four times. The theft of the Xiang River and the escape from diving occurred in the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636) during his fourth outing at the age of 51.
On this trip, he plans to visit Hunan, Hubei, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. Shortly after the trip, he encountered a robber in the Xiangjiang River, one of his companions was injured, his luggage and travel expenses were looted, and he was almost killed.
Xu Xiake's method is that when traveling, there is one thing that must be in the bag ginger. He has the habit of chewing ginger every morning, Ginger can promote people's health to be stronger and to make people more energetic. When Xu Xiake traveled far, he encountered sleeping in the wilderness, soaked in moisture, and occasionally felt the wind and cold, so he immediately "drank a large bowl of ginger soup and was heavily covered with clothes; Sweat a big note, long is up, feel open and refreshing." Because ginger has the ability to warm the spleen and stomach, disperse wind and cold, return to the Yang and pass the pulse, dry and wet phlegm, so eating ginger is of great benefit. Xu Xiake understands this truth, and must be ginger for travel.
