Celebrities' hobbies are as follows:
1. In addition to being obsessed with calligraphy and painting, Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty especially likes white geese.
Every time I see the white geese swimming by the river, calligrapher Wang can't help but stop and look at the playful geese. On one occasion, when visiting friends, Wang Xizhi couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw several white geese walking with elegant steps in the field.
I asked the people who raised the white goose, and after learning that it was raised by a Taoist priest, I was willing to pay a high price to buy it. But the Taoist priest didn't want to change it with Wang Xizhi's book. Without saying anything, Wang Xizhi agreed. It can be seen that Wang Xizhi is especially fond of white geese.
2. Bai Juyi loved raising cranes in the Tang Dynasty, and was later known as a crane master.
It is said that when Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, he won a pair of beautiful and moving Huating cranes, which can be described as famous among cranes. Bai Juyi is very fond of this pair of Huating cranes. Every day, he never leaves his feet. At sunrise, he works with Shuanghe, and at sunset, he goes home together and enjoys his time with his pet.
3. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi loved keeping dogs, and he also wrote poems specially for dogs.
For example, "When to send a family member, Huang Er is the ancestor" tells the story that Huang Er, a dog of Lu Ji (a calligrapher and writer in the Western Jin Dynasty), delivered a letter for him, and thinks that he is the ancestor of his dog Wu Gou, and that Wu Gou can also deliver a letter to Huang Er as well.
4. Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty loved cats very much and took them as his companions.
His poem "The firewood in the stream is soft and warm, so I don't go out with the raccoon dog." It's about Lu You, who lives in the country, sitting by the fire with his cat in his arms.
5. Besides writing poems, Bai Juyi especially likes drinking.
At first, his drinking hobby was influenced by his idol Li Bai. Later, he really fell in love with drinking, and set up a wine store at home. He often kept drinks at his bedside, and he had to have a few drinks every day to soothe his lonely time.
