According to The Old Book of Tang, “Wang Wei, styled Mojie, was a native of Qi County in Taiyuan. His father Chulian ended his career as the Marshal of Fenzhou (now Jixian, Shanxi Province) and moved his family to Pu, thus becoming a resident of Hedong“. At the age of 15, Wang Wei left home to seek advancement in Chang'an. His career in the civil service spanned nearly 40 years, from passing the imperial examination at 22 until his death at 61. With Chang'an as the center, Wang Wei's travels extended east to Luoyang and as far as Qilu, west to Liangzhou and beyond, north to Yulin and Xinqin prefectures, and south to the Han River, Xiangyang, and further to Lingnan. For Wang Wei, who was residing in Chang'an, his hometown of Pu was east of Mount Hua, hence referred to as “Shandong“ (literally “East of the Mountains“), which is actually present-day Shanxi.
