Don't miss the hometown of the sage of calligraphy when you visit Shaoxing!

💰Tickets: Free ❤Recommendation index: 7.5 points 👨🏻Popularity index: 6 points 📷Photogenic index: 8 points Shaoxing is not only the hometown of Lu Xun, but also the hometown of the sage of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi! Take a walk in the hometown of the sage of calligraphy and experience the rich cultural heritage. Listen to the old people tell stories about Wang Xizhi's inscription on fans and his funny experiences with his wife, and feel history come alive before your eyes. While I was there, I also came across a group of primary school students on a field trip. Under the eaves of an old house, the students sat on the steps, holding paper and pens, listening attentively to the teacher's explanation. The teacher was also very knowledgeable, talking about Wang Xizhi and Cai Yuanpei, drawing on a wide range of sources. Accompanied by the sound of cicadas in the summer, Chinese culture is being passed on. ❤Must-see attractions: ✅Jiemin Library: A special library dedicated to the memory of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, integrating historical culture and modern design. ✅Cai Yuanpei's Former Residence: The birthplace of Cai Yuanpei, a leading figure in the academic world. ✅Jie Zhu Lecture Temple: Once the residence of Wang Xizhi, it was later converted into a temple. ✅Ti Shan Bridge: Named after Wang Xizhi's inscription on a fan for an old woman. ✅Wang Xizhi Exhibition Hall: Displays Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and biographical information. ✅Mo Chi: As a child, you must have heard the story of Wang Xizhi practicing calligraphy. It is said that Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy here every day, so the water became as dark as ink. ✅Duo Po Nong: A very narrow alley, said to be where Wang Xizhi hid from his wife. 🕙Suggested duration: 2-3 hours 🗓Itinerary arrangement: The Hometown of the Sage of Calligraphy is two stops away from the Hometown of Lu Xun, so it is recommended to visit them together.
