ALLUSION
Allusion
The renowned calligrapher Wang Xizhi (321-379 AD), an Eastern Jin dynasty figure of noble birth, served as General of the Right Army and Prefect of Kuaiji. He later resigned his official post and returned to his hometown in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, where he devoted himself to studying calligraphy, achieving outstanding results and developing his own unique style, pioneering a new path for later brush writing styles. This lot describes a person of talent and learning with considerable economic means, who abandons the struggles of the officialdom, retreats from the turbulent currents, and resolutely returns to his hometown from afar. On one hand, he enjoys the joys of family reunion and friendship, living a carefree and leisurely life; on the other hand, he can continue to develop his expertise and achieve fame for posterity. Often playing the flute and qin while drinking wine, many friends gather to discuss the breeze and admire the moon, their hearts filled with joy and extreme happiness.
For those who obtain this lot, all matters will be auspicious.
This lot is also known as: Wang Bo's Visit to Tengwang Pavilion – During the Xianchun era of the Tang dynasty, the Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang was rebuilt. Wang Bo wished to go. In a dream, a water deity said, 'I will send you a sail.' Upon waking, he went to the riverbank and indeed found a boat. Shortly after boarding, he arrived at Tengwang Pavilion (seven hundred li from home). He wrote the 'Preface to Tengwang Pavilion.' Wang Bo was a scholar during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, named Wang Bo, styled Zi'an, originally from Longmen, Jinzhou, Shanxi. Skilled in poetry, a verse praises him: 'A genius from the start is an immortal. Was it by chance the wind sent him to Nanchang? After composing the lines for the lofty Tengwang Pavilion, he followed the immortal's retinue to accompany Zhongyuan.' (Zhongyuan refers to the water deity, the Lord of Zhongyuan Waters, implying that Wang Bo became an immortal.)
