The location is intentionally city-level or region-level so the page can provide orientation without implying a claim over a specific property or institution.

Historical Context

Wang Wei, courtesy name Mojie, was a Chinese musician, painter, poet, and politician of the middle Tang dynasty. He is regarded as one of the most distinguished men of arts and letters of his era. About 400 of his poems survived and 29 of them are included in the 18th-century anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems. A large portion of his finest poems drew inspirations from the local landscape.
