Qianlong won Wang Xizhi’s “Sunny Calligraphy in Fast Snow”, Wang Xianzhi’s “Mid Autumn Calligraphy”, and Wang Xun’s “Boyuan Calligraphy”. The room he hid was named “Sanxi Hall”. From 1747 to 1750, Emperor Qianlong ordered his courtiers to edit the calligraphy collected in his inner office and copy it into the Three Wishes Hall Calligraphy. There are 32 volumes of full posts, including nearly 350 books, which are very rich. The whole post is well copied and painted with black gold. The ink is as clear as paint.
