Sanxi Hall, in ancient times, was the study of the Qing emperor Tommy Tam. "Three wishes" means "scholars like sages, sages like saints, and saints like heaven". Scholars should be sages, sages should be saints, and saints should be people who know heaven, that is, encourage themselves to pursue unremittingly and to be diligent.
The study is called "Sanxi Hall". Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, posted a clear note in the snow. In the eleventh year of Qianlong, he collected Wang Xianzhi's Mid-Autumn Post and Wang Xun's Yuan Bo Post. In the 15th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1750), "Sanxi Hall" also collected the works of 34 famous artists in the past dynasties after Jin Dynasty1750.
Extended data:
Sanxi Hall is only about 4.8 square meters, but the furnishings are elegant and simple, which makes up for the lack of space: the long and narrow indoor depth is divided into two small rooms, north and south, one of which is equipped with a window sill for setting the furniture of the imperial study. There is a high and low kang that can sit and lie under the windowsill, and the Qianlong throne is located on both sides of the high kang.
The inscription of "Sanxitang" in Qianlong Imperial Book and the couplet of "Looking at the past and the present, the heart is deep and luxurious" are posted above and on both sides of the throne respectively. The painted porcelain wall bottle on the low kang wall and the nanmu "Sanxitang" affairs box under the wall bottle are all contained in the large glass mirror on the opposite wall.
The small room suddenly became clear. In addition, Sanxi Hall Ji, the imperial pen, stands in a small room, and Wang Xizhi's Learning Book by court painter Jin Tingbiao, Sanxi Hall Song and landscape paintings on the wall also add infinite charm to Sanxi Hall.
