明代文士出遊的風氣極盛，徐霞客是其中著名的一位，而早於徐霞客四十五年的陳第，以名將兼碩儒，其著述之豐，遊歷之久，實亦是明代之一奇，但人多知其對古音探究的貢獻，卻罕知其獨遊之久且深。在明人好遊成風的文人群體中，陳第出遊的方式應該算是異數，其出遊足跡不止遍五嶽，甚至曾飄洋過海到台灣，在明代文人中應屬僅見。其遊觀山水計有二十餘年時間，尤其是最後一次出遊出發，竟是在他七十歲古稀之年時，前後更長達六年之久。以這樣的年齡，在交通便捷的現在，都可以稱為奇蹟，若以四百年前的時間點來看，實在不能不令人肅然起敬。本文擬就其晚年出遊之記遊作品，一探陳第出遊之志趣及其關懷之主題。

It was a prevalent phenomenon for scholars to go traveling in the Ming (明代) dynasty. Shu, Sha-keh (徐霞客) was one of the famous ones. Chen, Dih (陳第), forty years earlier than Shu, was an outstanding military general as well as a famous scholar noted for his voluminous publications and long history in traveling. Many people are aware of Chen’s contribution to metrical studies, but not his long history of travels. From studying the manuscripts of scholars who went traveling in the Ming dynasty, Chen, Dih’s travel style was quite extraordinary. Not only did he visit the Five Mountains (五嶽), but he also visited Taiwan. He was probably the only scholar who traveled to Taiwan at that time. Chen spent almost twenty years in traveling. His last travel lasted about six years when he was about seventy years old. It was amazing for such an old man to travel for so long when traffic was difficult four hundred years ago. The objective of this study focuses on the travel interests, motives, and concerns in his traveling manuscripts of old age.
