Introduction to the Inkstone Washing Pool: Legend has it that after Wang Xizhi practiced calligraphy hard in his childhood, he went to the pool to wash the inkstone. After a long time, the water in the pool turned ink color, hence the name of the Inkstone Washing Pool. The bank of the pool is built with rockery and strange rocks, and weeping willows and flowers are planted beside the pool. There is a stone bridge across the narrow places on the east and west sides of the pool. An inkstone stele pavilion was built next to the pool in the north. In the pavilion, there are two stone steles "Where the Right Army of Jin Dynasty Washed Inkstones" and "Wash Inkstone Pool" with simple and vigorous handwriting.
