It is said that Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy, once inscribed fans for an old woman selling fans here. Tishan Bridge is thus named. Nowadays, there is a stele at the head of Tishan Bridge that reads ‘Tishan Bridge inscribed by Wang Xizhi of Jin Dynasty’. There is also a sculpture of Wang Xizhi inscribing fans for the old woman by the bridge. People coming and going all relish talking about this anecdote. Moreover, Tishan Bridge can be said to be a relatively charming place in the hometown of the sage of calligraphy. Standing on the bridge and looking into the distance, ordinary people living by the water with white walls and black tiles can fulfill all your imagination of Shaoxing’s water towns. Open all year round and open all day.
