Summary "徐霞客遊記" by Hongzu Xu is a travel diary written in the early 17th century. This historical account chronicles the author’s explorations across various mountains in China, particularly focusing on the experiences and observations made during these journeys. The work highlights landscapes, cultural encounters, and personal reflections as the author traverses challenging terrains and contemplates nature. The beginning of the text captures the first days of Xu's journey as he sets out from Ninghai to explore Tiantai Mountain. He describes the weather, his route, and the natural beauty around him, noting the changing atmosphere with observations of rain, mountain peaks, and the sounds of waterfalls. Xu encounters fellow travelers and monks, shares meals, and reflects on the contrasts of scenery and the challenges of the path as he climbs higher. The opening sets the tone for a blend of adventure and introspection as Xu embarks on his remarkable travels. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
