At this time, Wang Xizhi was calling on friends and having a good time touring the mountains and rivers, elegantly writing his "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion"; Xie An was still in seclusion at Mount Dongyu in Kuaiji, every day taking his concubine for leisurely strolls under the trees, waiting for an opportunity to rise again; famous scholars of Jiangdong who valued demeanor and appearance wore loose robes with large sleeves, took wu se san (a medicinal powder), waved feather fans while engaging in elegant conversations, rode ox-drawn carts for pleasure, discussed music, debated calligraphy, played chess, painted, expressed emotions through poetry about mountains and rivers, and had all sorts of carefree and unrestrained words and actions that were not bound by traditional rules.
