Condition: VG lg sz PB. Photos (illustrator). By the 8th century reclusion had become a noble alternative to precarious presence at court. The lure of a simple solitary life in harmony with nature was one impetus toward the building of walled garden complexes. Wang Wei's 8th century Wangchuan Villa was composed of rambling villas, pavilions, and halls connected by bridges and paths. It became a compelling symbol in both painting and poetry for the elegant life of a scholar.
