The Jiangnan depicted by Wang Xizhi, where one searches for poetic humanity in the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy

The Jiangnan depicted by Wang Xizhi, where one searches for poetic humanity in the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy. In Shaoxing, no matter where you go, the fragrance of books lingers in the air. If you have the chance, you must visit the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, as depicted by the literati and poets. A long river serves as the main thoroughfare of the Sage of Calligraphy's hometown, with ancient buildings lined up in sequence, exuding an ancient charm and filled with a sense of the ages. • Beyond the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy, you can enjoy yourself immensely. In the houses by the river, gather around the stove to brew tea and laugh about life. Take a leisurely ride on a sculling boat along the river, passing through stone bridges one after another, feeling the poetic Jiangnan. 【Check-in Spot】 🔹Calligraphy Wall Next to Jiezhu Temple, under the 'Two Thanks Posts', there is Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. Walking on the ancient stone bridge, with the ancient calligraphy wall as a backdrop, there is a unique charm. - 🔹Ink Pool Legend has it that it is the place where Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, washed his inkstone. It is also a major attraction in the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy. In summer, the ink pool is filled with blooming lotuses, bringing the poetic Jiangnan to your face. - 🍦Food: Yellow wine popsicles, a must-eat dessert in Shaoxing! A small stick can be bought in a small store, and almost everyone has one in hand~ Muliang tofu, the crystal-clear Muliang tofu is actually white jelly, served with a sweet and sour soup, very appetizing.
