The difference between Shanglin Fu and Lanting Collection Preface is that the authors are different. "Shanglin Fu" is the representative work of Sima Xiangru, a master of Han Fu. It depicts the grand scale of Shanglin Garden, and then describes the scene where the emperor led his ministers to hunt in Shanglin. The preface to the Lanting Collection is from China's Jin Dynasty (AD 353). The calligrapher Wang Xizhi met friends at the foot of Lanzhu Mountain in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and wrote "the best running script in the world". Therefore, the difference between Shanglin Fu and Lanting Collection Preface is that the authors are different.
