It is said that when Wang Xizhi wrote the word goose pond, he just heard the call to accept the imperial edict and wrote the word goose. Of course, Wang Xizhi, the general of the local right army, did not dare to neglect, so he immediately stopped writing and took the letter. At that time, Wang Xianzhi, watched by his father, could not help but write another word. The Goose Pond next to the monument is a memorial building, which not only echoes the Goose Pond Monument from a distance, but also has something to do with Wang Xizhi's lifelong love for geese. Wang Xizhi likes to watch geese, write the word "goose" and raise geese, so there is a story about Wang Xizhi writing the Tao Te Ching for geese. Most places related to Wang Xizhi's memorial have goose pond buildings.
The monument is 188 cm high and 68 cm wide.
Running script "Goose Pond", no money.
It was built during the reconstruction of Lanting from the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855) to the eighth year of Tongzhi (1869).
Lanting, located at the foot of Zhu Lan Mountain in Lanting Town, southwest of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province 14 km, is the garden home of Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and a folk history of Huiji. This is the A Jin Dynasty Garden. According to legend, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, planted orchids here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and set up a post booth here in the Han Dynasty, hence the name Lanting. The current address was in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD 1548), and the county magistrate was rebuilt by Shen Qi. After several repairs, the garden style of Ming and Qing Dynasties was restored on 1980.
Although this quaint and elegant garden is small, it attracts the attention of Chinese and foreign tourists. According to historical records, in 353 AD, that is, on March 3rd, 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 42 celebrities and relatives and friends, such as Wang Xizhi, friends Xie An and Sun Chuo, gathered in Lanting, Huiji County to carry out the building renovation ceremony, drinking and writing poems. Later, Wang Xizhi compiled a preface to the poems of various people, which is the famous preface to Lanting Collection. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi scribbled this preface with cocoon paper and moustache when he was drunk. The whole article consists of 28 lines and 324 words, all of which are varied and exquisite. Unfortunately, such a calligraphy treasure was in the hands of Emperor Taizong, who could not bear to give it up. When he died, he ordered someone to use it as a human sacrifice. Since then, the world has never seen the original preface to Lanting Collection. In Lanting, there is a triangular pavilion with two cursive characters "Goose Pool" engraved on the tablet. According to legend, these two words were written by Wang Xizhi. It is said that Wang Xizhi likes geese very much and keeps a flock of geese at home. Now there are some white geese in the goose pond in Lanting.

Xiaolan Pavilion is a quadrangular stele pavilion with the word "Lanting" inscribed by Emperor Kangxi.
Lanting is a sacred place in the history of calligraphy in China. On the third day of March 9 in Yonghe, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi invited more than 40 famous scholars to practice and do elegant things in Jiyalanting.
Lanting is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with bamboo forests and shallow streams, which is quiet and elegant. The layout is centered on Qushui, surrounded by Goose Pond, Goose Pond Pavilion, Shangliu Pavilion, Xiaolan Pavilion, Yubei Pavilion, Mohua Pavilion and Youjun Temple. It is exquisite and simple, and it is a rare garden masterpiece. In the small Lanting, there is still the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi. Preface to Lanting Collection is also called Preface to Lanting Collection, Preface to Lanting Collection, Preface to River, Preface and Post. On March 3rd, the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 353), 4/kloc-0 military and political dignitaries such as Wang Xizhi, Xie An and Sun Chuo "wrote poems" in Yinshan Lanting (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). At the meeting, Wang Xizhi wrote a preface for their poems. The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion narrates the beauty of the landscape around the Orchid Pavilion and the joy of the party, and expresses the author's feelings about the impermanence of life and death. . . .
