5 books about travel notes

You may not believe it, but I have traveled all over the world now. Unlike everyone else who travels differently, I did it in a book. This made up for my lack of financial ability to a large extent. Below are 5 books on travel notes compiled and collected by Inspirational.com for your reference.

01 "Xu Xiake's Travels"

Xu Xiake

Zhonghua Book Company

Xu Xiake, a man who lives by walking people.

From the year of his wedding at the age of 22 until the year before his death at the age of 54, Xu Xiake spent his whole life doing only one thing? Traveling all over China. On his last trip in his later years, he even brought a shovel with him, ready to bury the bones on the road.

Why was an ancient man who lived more than four hundred years ago so lonely and brave?

This has to start with the environment in which Xu Xiake grew up.

Unlike all people who came from a scholarly family, Xu Xiake was not interested in the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-Part Essay. He gave up his fame and fame to pursue his ideals.

Xu Xiake’s parents were also different from all other parents at the same time. His father encouraged him to read widely, and his mother encouraged him to travel far away.

Regarding his unique life and behavior, Xu Xiake just explained lightly: "I walk between heaven and earth."

This man with a cosmic mind transcended his time and lived another possibility for mankind.

Xu Xiake’s words reveal his truth, his wonder, and his broad mind.

It fascinates me.

02 "Marco Polo's Travels"

Marco Polo

Shaanxi People's Publishing House

The purpose of this book Many people memorized the title of the book as a knowledge point when they were in school, but they never seriously examined it as a real book.

This is a travelogue about Asia, focusing on China. Written more than 700 years ago, it is the first time in human history that Westerners opened their horizons and perceived the East.

With its extremely strong vitality, it traveled through time and space and came to us.

In this book, there are not only mysterious countries and exotic customs that Westerners have never known, but also many oriental charms, past customs and Chinese stories that we ourselves have never known.

It is said that Columbus took two books with him when he sailed, one was the "Bible" and the other was "Marco Polo's Travels".

Reading this book, you can magically see a magnificent picture of the Yuan Dynasty.

03 "Bring a Paintbrush to Travel"

Melissa Wood

Beijing United Publishing Company

Give me this set of books The biggest inspiration is that everyone’s trip is unique and a journey that only belongs to them.

It also gives us another way to travel? Bring a paintbrush and a free soul to record the unique travel memories in your eyes.

This set of books is not a travel guide in the traditional sense. There are no transportation routes that can be easily checked, and there are no cookie-cutter travel strategies. Instead, there are only 100 unique and creative hand-drawn tips.

For example:

It is a London-specific "black taxi", with passengers hitching a ride and people waiting on the roadside;

< p> Climb up Big Ben and draw the scenery you see from the top of the clock tower;

Design a Hermès scarf that is both gorgeous and reflects your taste;

?

When you put away your camera and record a trip with your eyes, mind and brush, it will definitely be the most unique and meaningful travel experience.

04 "Miscellaneous Notes on Travels in Europe"

Zhu Ziqing

Beijing Normal University Press

Originally, my understanding of Zhu Ziqing was just "Back View" in the Chinese textbook.

Until I read his "European Travels", it can be said that it completely refreshed my understanding of him.

Zhu Ziqing has the sharpest eyes and the freest heart in history. He can see the scenery that others cannot discover and feel the beauty that others cannot. How to describe it? I feel that Zhu Ziqing seems to have completely melted himself into the scenery.

As expected of a master of prose, he captured the soul of the scenery with just a few strokes.

His writing is extremely mature and mellow, without being ostentatious, showing off or pretentious.

Although it spans a century, this book still reads fresh and natural, like a breeze blowing on your face.

In the postscript of "European Travels", Ye Shengtao commented that Zhu Ziqing's writing could not be added even if it wanted to, and it could not be subtracted even if it was wanted. ?

On a summer afternoon, it is really a pleasure to read this little book full of the flavor of the old times.

05 "The Most Interesting Travel Diary: Darwin's Travels Around the World"

Darwin

Petroleum Industry Press

This book really promises It deserves to be called the most interesting travel diary.

In 1831, Darwin, who had just graduated from Cambridge University, embarked on a five-year journey around the world on the naval exploration ship HMS Beagle.

In this journey of constant exploration, learning, and thinking, he discovered certain laws of biological evolution, which led to the publication of "The Origin of Species", and the "Theory of Evolution" was also listed as 19 One of the three major discoveries in natural science of the century.

This rare and interesting travel diary contains both the majestic scenery of a biologist and the fascinating anecdotes of literature: crabs eating coconuts, hailstones that kill wild deer, and those who dare to fight sharks. A small fish, a frog who knows music, a simple and charming Argentinian girl, a poor rich man, a beautiful Tahitian?

After reading this book, in my eyes, the world map is no longer simple. The composition has become a vibrant and all-encompassing picture.

No one loves traveling, collecting, and adventuring like Darwin. Just as he said: Those creatures scattered around the world, or even a small stone, seem to exist just to wait for him. .

His courage and faith also made this global journey more pure and moving.
