唐昭宗朝，嘗應進士舉，不第，因欲攜妻子隱於林壑，其妻非之，不肯行，雲叟乃薄遊諸郡，獲數百緡以贍其家，辭訣而去。 During the reign of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang he once took the Jinshi examination but failed. He therefore wished to take his wife and children and live hidden in mountains and valleys, but his wife disapproved and refused to go. Yunsou then traveled lightly through various prefectures, obtained several hundred strings of cash to support his family, bade farewell, and departed.
