The house was converted into a temple, and the scent of ink lingers in the air. This is the hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy.

The Shaoxing Sage of Calligraphy Hometown Scenic Area is located at the southern foot of Jishan Mountain and is one of the areas in Shaoxing with the best-preserved historical features. It is famous for its profound cultural heritage and unique Jiangnan water town style. There are many famous historical sites here, such as the former residence of Cai Yuanpei, Jiezhujang Temple, Jishan Academy, etc. Jiezhujang Temple is located on the west street of Jishan Mountain and is one of the eight famous temples in the city. Before the temple was built, it was the residence of Wang Xizhi. Later, Wang Xizhi abandoned the house and converted it into a temple. The ink pool, Jiefang Bridge, Tisheng Bridge... Every place is filled with a strong atmosphere of calligraphy art. The layout of the Sage of Calligraphy Hometown is a street in the front and a river in the back. Small bridges, flowing water, pink walls, and black tiles are full of rich Jiangnan water culture, bridge culture, and market culture, becoming a miniature of the ancient city of Shaoxing's historical and cultural history.
