What is the Preface to Lanting Collection?

Water flows out to Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection. The so-called "flowing water" is to choose an elegant and secluded place, where the literati sit by the water side of the winding waves in sequence, and one person puts a full glass of wine upstream to let it go down the river. Stop the glass in front of someone, take it and drink it, then get drunk or whisper or assist, and write a poem. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, literati liked to attack the ancient style, drinking and having fun all day, indulging in mountains and rivers, being indifferent to Laozi and Zhuangzi and roaming in calligraphy. This elegant drinkers' wager game, like "Chun Xue", is not only a means to punish wine, but also outstanding because it is punished as the participation of poetry, an elegant and elegant spiritual activity. The most famous is the Lanting Xiuhui held on March 3rd, 9th, Jin Yong. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, and 4 1 Korean celebrities bid farewell at Lanting in Huiji Mountain, and their poems were included in the anthology. Wang Xizhi was drunk and wrote Preface to Lanting Collection, which is a famous work through the ages. Of course, among the people, some people simplify this to just drinking and not writing poems. Qushui, also known as Qushui in a flowing cup or Qushui in a flowing bowl, is a dietary custom in the old Shangsi Festival. Its general practice is that people sit around the curved canal and put special wine glasses (mostly lacquerware with light texture) upstream, so that they can float slowly along the tortuous water flow. Whoever floats to the glass will have a drink. Go back and forth like this until you have fun. Scholars have developed this custom into an elegant gathering of celebrities-whoever stops in front of the glass will write a poem, which is as interesting as "handing a parcel" or "throwing a handkerchief" of modern people. On the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (353), more than forty people, including the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi, celebrities Xie An and Sun Chuo, gathered in Lanting, Yinshan, Zhejiang Province to write Qushui Hangshu. As the saying goes, "there is also a clear stream that stirs up turbulence, reflecting left and right, thinking that it is water." Sitting next to you, although not as prosperous as bamboo and orchestra, is enough to talk about your intimate feelings. These poems were compiled into Preface to Lanting Collection, which was prefaced by Wang Xizhi and became a treasure in the history of calligraphy art in China. The title of the book is still flowing.
