(the title is: "having read ten thousand books is not as good as having walked ten thousand miles "
More than two thousand years ago, it needed plenty of walking, so it would not be too wrong Kongzi 孔子 (Confucius) himself walked a lot, too, I think. Du Fu 杜甫, The Dang dynasty poet certainly did as he said, having read ten thousand books is not as good as having walked ten thousand miles (读万卷书，不如行万里路)( 行xing here actually means I would say “ travelled”, can be using different forms of transportation, not purely walking in this sense, but certainly one thousand years ago, transportation methods are very limited. but not purely walking in this sense anyway. I don't forget Su Dongpo, my literature hero, he likes his gentle sports, of course mores walkings in Hainan Island, Huizhou when he was away from his officialdom.
Have set an initial walking mileage goal before Easter. Today completed the planned miles. The green was very wet and muddy, but never mind, the main point in this season is still walking - this is the essentail training now.
