Wang Wei was a famous writer and painter in the Tang Dynasty. He was good at landscape pastoral poetry and landscape painting, and was known as the representative of the "Landscape Pastoral Poetry School". In his poetry works, descriptions of meandering water flowing into the water often appear.
According to legend, Wang Wei drank Qu Shui, tasted fine wine, and chatted with his friend Li Sheng in a garden in Chang'an City. They made boats from bamboo leaves and put them into the water, letting them float with the current. They enjoyed the water view, sipped wine and enjoyed a carefree time.
