Shaoxing Confucian Temple calligraphy resort

Yunmen temple is also the most famous calligraphy resort in Shaoxing except Lanting, and many anecdotes of famous people in the history of China calligraphy are related to it. Yunmen temple's predecessor was Wang Xianzhi's former residence. According to legend, Wang Xianzhi practiced calligraphy in seclusion. The Lanting Tie by Wang Xizhi, the best running script in the world, has also been preserved in yunmen temple for a long time. Wang Xizhi, the seventh generation Zen master of Sun Nanchao, spent 30 years in the temple, leaving behind an iron sill, a pen tomb and his nephew Huixin, who once became a monk here. Both uncles and nephews are calligraphers and are highly respected by Liang Wudi. Yunmen temple was once renamed "Yongxin Temple" because of the wisdom and wisdom of the monks in Qiyong Temple (both of them have titles). According to legend, the tomb of Wang Xizhi is nearby. Monks Zhiyong and Huixin used to move to Yunmen to sweep graves. Zhiyong has two disciples, one is Zhiguo and the other is Cai Bian, both of whom are descendants of his calligraphy. Wisdom is better than blue. Emperor Yang Di once said to Zhi Yong: "Monks (meaning Zhi Yong) get the flesh of the right army and wisdom gets the bones of the right army." At that time, there were many people asking for books, and households were restricted to wear them. Behind Zhiyong, the original of Wang's heirloom "Lanting Tie" was collected, and the imperial history sent by Emperor Taizong was collected here in yunmen temple. On the third day of March in the second year of Tang Gaozong (675), Wang Bo, the leader of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty, presided over a restoration activity in yunmen temple, imitating Wang Xizhi's Collection of Lanting Elegant, and also wrote a Preface to Restoration, in which the narrative part wrote: "In the spring and March of the following year, it was also restored in the mountain pavilion." The scenery is lingering, and I am fascinated by the suburbs. Pieces of fairy clouds are far away and near, born in the sparse forest. Weeds will grow, not just Taoxi. Birds fly around in the evening, and there is a warbler in the valley. Wang is full of green grass. In Fiona Fang, every family is green. "There are many buildings and facilities related to the above-mentioned personnel in yunmen temple, such as the mountain pavilion, the pen storehouse, the iron sill for wisdom and courage, the tomb for retired wisdom and courage, the identification tower and the Yunmen Caotang where Lu You studied when he was young. Unfortunately, with the collapse of the whole ancient temple, they have all become historical relics.
