Traffic guide for Wang Xizhi's former residence: Take No.6 sightseeing bus from the bus station and get off at the "Wang Xizhi's former residence" station.

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. He is known as the "sage of calligraphy" and is also known as the second king in the history of calligraphy in China with his son Wang Xianzhi. In the first year of Jin Yongjia (AD 307), his family moved south to Huiji Yin Shan (now Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province), leaving his former residence as a Buddhist temple, which experienced ups and downs. 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. According to legend, 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 turned black, so people called it Xiyan Lake. North of West Wild Goose Lake 10 meter, that is, 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 with an area of about 200 square meters, which are Langya Academy built for 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, gazebo and other relics can provide a glimpse of the royal residence at that time. The newly-built Golden Mo Zhai, the Calligraphy Exhibition Room and the 100-meter-long calligraphy stele gallery will let you enjoy the different styles of calligraphy, inscriptions and calligraphy works in contemporary North and South China.

It is also worth mentioning that in the renovation of Xiyan Lake two years ago, two Jin tomb sites were accidentally discovered. 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 one among the large and medium-sized brick tombs excavated in Shandong during the Han and Jin Dynasties.
