Where is Wang Xizhi's former residence?

Wang Xizhi's former residence belongs to the famous scenic spot of Linyi archaeological remains.

Wang Xizhi, born in 303 AD in Langya County (now Linyi City), loved calligraphy since childhood. He is good at calligraphy, calligraphy and seal cutting, especially in calligraphy, and won the title of "Book Sage", which is also called the second king in the history of calligraphy in China with his son Wang Xianzhi. In the first year of Jin Yongjia (A.D. 307), he moved south with his family to Huiji Yin Shan (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), leaving his former residence as a Buddhist temple. The pseudo-Liu Yushi, renamed Zhao Pu Temple, has been passed down to this day. Since 1990, the government has invested more than 4 million yuan to restore Wang Xizhi's former residence in memory of this calligrapher in China history.

Wang Xizhi's former residence is located at No.20, Xiyanhu Street, lanshan district, Linyi City. It is a classical garden-style building, covering an area of about 5 mu. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi went to the pool to wash inkstones after practicing calligraphy hard in his childhood. After a long time, the water in the pool is black, so people call it Xiyan Lake. North of West Wild Goose Lake 10 meter, that is, the book drying platform 2 meters above the ground, was the place where the Wangs dried books at that time. About 0/0 meter north of Shashu Taipei, there are five antique buildings, covering an area of about 200 square meters, which are Langya Academy built by later generations. Documents about Wang Xizhi and his calligraphy rubbings are displayed in the former residence. The newly renovated Xiyan Lake, book-drying platform, goose pond, pavilion and other relics can provide a glimpse of the royal residence at that time. The newly-built Golden Mo Zhai, Calligraphy Exhibition Room, and 100m Calligraphy Monument Gallery will let you enjoy the different styles of calligraphy, inscriptions and calligraphy works of contemporary North and South people.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that two Jin tombs were accidentally discovered during the renovation of Xiyan Lake two years ago. According to textual research, they all belong to the Western Jin Dynasty, about 1700 years ago, which is similar to the birth date of Wang Xizhi. Fortunately, in these two tombs, many cultural relics with research value have been unearthed, especially Tomb No.1, although it is a brick tomb, it is the best preserved among the large and medium-sized brick tombs unearthed in Shandong during the Han and Jin Dynasties.
