Chapter 498 The Holy Traveler of the East "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes"

"Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" is a masterpiece of Kyushu geography mainly in diary style.

After more than 30 years of travel, Xu Xiake has written 17 travel notes on Tiantai Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Lushan Mountain and other famous mountains, as well as "Zhejiang Travel Diary", "Jiangyou Travel Diary", "Chu Travel Diary", "West Guangdong Journey Diary" , "Diary of a Tour in Guizhou", "Diary of a Tour in Dian" and other works, except for the lost ones, there are more than 600,000 words of travel notes, which were compiled into "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" after his death.

Through personal investigation, Xu Xiake demonstrated that the Jinsha River is the correct source of the Yangtze River with irrefutable historical facts, and denied the statement that "Minshan guides the river" in the classic "Yugong", which is regarded as a classic. The statement was praised by Mao Taizu, and it was put forward many times at political meetings, requiring truth and pioneering spirit.

At the same time, he also identified the origin and flow of many waterways such as the Zuojiang River, Youjiang River, Daying River, and Lancang River, and corrected the confusion and errors in the records of these waterways in the "Da Ming Yitong Zhi".

He carefully observed the topography of the area where the river flowed, saw the erosion effect of the water flow on the area it passed through, and realized that the erosion effect was particularly severe in the valleys of the river bank.

He also noticed the relationship between plants and the environment, observed the different conditions of plant ecology and species under different terrain, temperature, and wind speed conditions, and realized the impact of ground height and earth latitude on climate and ecology.

Xu Xiake also has a certain scientific understanding of hot springs and groundwater. Among Xu Xiake's series of contributions to geography, the most prominent is his investigation of limestone landforms.

He is Kyushu and the first geographer in the world to conduct a systematic investigation of limestone landforms.

The earliest extensive investigation and description of limestone landforms in Europe was later than Xu Xiake.

Xu Xiake has made many contributions to geography. He has also investigated and studied geothermal phenomena such as volcanoes and hot springs. In addition, he also has vivid descriptions and records of the conditions of agriculture, handicrafts, and transportation, the evolution of scenic spots and historic sites in various places, and the customs and customs of ethnic minorities.

Xu Xiake not only made great contributions to geography, but also has profound attainments in the field of literature.

The travel notes he wrote are not only precious documents in geography, but also exquisite travel literature. His travel notes are as simple and beautiful as the nature he described. Some people praised it as "true writing in the world, big writing, and strange writing".

Xu Xiake not only belongs to Kyushu, but also belongs to the world. Xu Xiake has extraordinary influence in the world.

"Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" is listed as one of the twenty most influential works in Kyushu by academic circles. In addition to Kyushu, the United States, Japan, Singapore and other countries have established "Xu Xiake Research Associations".

Xu Xiake was in a leading position in the world at that time in terms of geosciences, especially the investigation and research of karst landforms.

Xu Xiake has many similarities with Marco Polo, a great western traveler in the 13th century, and they are respected respectively as "Traveler of the East and West".

The influence and reputation that Xu Xiake and his "Travel Notes" enjoy in countries all over the world are one of the important cultural cornerstones for Chinese tourism to go global.

Joseph Needham, a professor at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, pointed out: "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes does not read like something written by a scholar in the 17th century, but rather like an investigation record written by a field explorer in the 20th century."

Fusu looked at the Xu Xiake summoning card in his hand, and without thinking about it, he summoned Xu Xiake directly. He didn't know what kind of influence Xu Xiake would bring to him, but just because of this person, Fusu had a heartache. share admiration.

Following Fusu's movements, a person was born from the summoning space. In his hand, he was holding a scroll. The scroll was curled up. I don't know what was recorded on it.

Fusu looked at the person in front of him. Xu Xiake in front of him was a middle-aged man with a rather burly figure, a dark complexion and a vicissitudes of skin.

Big and powerful, mighty and extraordinary.

Thinking about it, Xu Xiake traveled the mountains, rivers and rivers of Kyushu. Without a strong body, he probably died of exhaustion. He also accomplished this feat. If he has been in the wild for a long time, if his skin is the same as that of a little girl, it would be too against the sky.

Although there are some differences with the Xu Xiake in Fusu's impression, the difference is not very big.

Legend has it that Xu Xiake is extremely powerful and possesses extremely high martial arts skills. He can fight tigers and bears, and has narrowly escaped death in the wild many times.

Fusu knew the urine of the system, and sure enough, after Xu Xiake visited Fusu, he was born out of the system.

Chapter 499 The Great Treasure of Kyushu - Geographical Map of Mountains and Rivers King of Medicine - Sun Simiao

Fusu stood inside the system space and continued to summon.

"System, I want to use the privilege of summoning strange people and strange men." Fusu used the privilege of summoning strange men and strange men for the second time.

Fusu didn't know that after Xu Xiake was born by the system, the entire Kyushu continent once again experienced subtle changes.

Because the scroll in Xu Xiake's hand has become the "Kyushu Treasure", and has become a treasure that all countries are vying for.

Because the scroll in Xu Xiake's hand is the "Geography of Mountains and Rivers", which depicts the geography of mountains and rivers in Kyushu and various routes.

What the kings of all countries value is that with this geographical map of mountains and rivers, they can understand the geographical location of the cities of various countries, and then formulate countermeasures.

It can be said that with this geographical map of mountains and rivers, the geographical advantages of the right time, place and people will be infinitely weakened, and even the geographical advantages will be used against the geographical advantages. This is why the geographical map of mountains and rivers is so important.

In marching battles, everyone knows the importance of maps.

Fusu didn't know anything about all this, and at this moment he was intoxicated in the joy of summoning.

Following Fusu's drawing action, the other strange summon cards slowly disappeared in front of Fusu.

Fusu looked at the summoning card in his hand, and joy flashed in his eyes.

With the increase in the number of summons, the current Fusu is no longer the original Fusu, and now he has become more and more calm, and he is no longer the one who yelled at all times.

On the summoning card of strange people and strangers, an old man is impressively printed on it. This old man wears a hat, has a drooping white beard, and has a ruddy complexion. Normal, but if you see the life in the upper left corner of the summon card, you don't think the other party is normal.

This "ordinary" old man is none other than Medicine King Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao is a native of Jing Zhaohua, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty. It is rumored that he is a "living god" who lived for more than a hundred years and was called "the king of medicine" by later generations.

Sun Simiao was born into a poor peasant family. He was very smart since he was a child, and he was valued by his teachers. When he grew up, he began to love Taoism and Laozhuang Theory.

Since Sun Simiao was born in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, during the social turmoil at that time, Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in the Taibai Mountains of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, where he cured diseases and saved lives, and gradually gained a high reputation.

At that time, the imperial court ordered Sun Simiao to be a doctor of Guozijian, but he refused. Sun Simiao studied Taoist classics in Taibai Mountain. At the same time, he also read various medical books and studied ancient medical prescriptions.

He chose "helping the world and living people" as his lifelong career. In order to understand the characteristics of Chinese herbal medicine, he traveled all over the mountains and old forests.

Sun Simiao attached great importance to folk medical experience, accumulated visits, recorded them in time, and finally completed his immortal book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions".

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao began to accept the invitation of the court to cooperate with the government to carry out medical activities.

In 659 AD, the world's first national pharmacopoeia "Tang Xin Materia Medica" was completed. Sun Simiao died without any illness in 682 AD.

"Old Tang Book" mentions that Sun Simiao "self-commented "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the bibliographies of historical annals have not been recorded and have been lost for a long time. Therefore, his views on Taoism are unknown. Only Mr. Meng Wentong According to Zhao Bingwen's "Laozi Jijie" in Chapter 6 of "The God of the Valley Is Immortal", "Forty Family Collections of Ancient Annotations of Laozi in the Jin and Tang Dynasties" found a lost article in Sun Simiao's annotation: "The god of the valley is the one who is imaginary but spiritual."

Sun Simiao is a shining pearl in the pioneer of Chinese medical development. He has made indelible contributions in the history of Chinese and foreign medicine, and has been highly appraised and admired by people for more than a thousand years. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, praised Sun Simiao for "cutting the path and being famous as a great doctor. The three sages with wings are in harmony with the four seasons. Subduing dragons and tigers, saving the decline and saving danger. The majestic and dignified, the teacher of a hundred generations." This eulogy to Yuan Dai Leshi should be the speech of later generations.

Song Huizong granted Sun Simiao the title of "Miaoying Zhenren", and was honored as the "King of Medicine" by later generations.

"Thousand Golden Prescriptions" is the earliest medical encyclopedia in my country, from basic theory to clinical subjects, complete with principles, methods, prescriptions, and medicines. One is classics and materials, and the other is folk unilateral prescriptions.
