Wang Wei is revered as the master of reclusive poetry. In his later years, disillusioned with worldly affairs, he led a life balancing official duties with seclusion, projecting an image of transcending mundane concerns while still enjoying official rank and privilege. Regarding his retreat locations during this period, most contemporary literary historians agree that he had two residences: first the Zhongnan Retreat (終南别業), followed by the Wangchuan Retreat (輞川别業) in Lantian.

In his later years, disillusioned with worldly affairs, he led a life balancing official duties with seclusion, projecting an image of transcending mundane concerns while still enjoying official rank and privilege. Regarding his retreat locations during this period, most contemporary literary historians agree that he had two residences: first the Zhongnan Retreat (終南别業), followed by the Wangchuan Retreat (輞川别業) in Lantian.
