The Xu Que 许碏

The Xu Que 许碏

Paul Peng
Xu Que was a native of Gaoyang during the Tang Dynasty.
In his childhood, he studied Confucian classics. As a young man, he pursued the imperial examination (the Jinshi examination) but repeatedly failed to pass. Consequently, he went to Mount Wangwu to learn Taoism, and later traveled to the Five Great Mountains (Wuyue) and other famous mountains and rivers, visiting every one of them.
