This area is "a beautiful place on Yin Shan Road, with mountains, dense forests and bamboo planting, as well as clear streams and swift streams." According to legend, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, planted orchids here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and set up a post pavilion in the Han Dynasty, hence the name Lanting.

In the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, invited 42 scholars to hold a conference in Lanting and wrote Preface to Lanting Collection, which was known as "the best running script in the world". Wang Xizhi was honored as a calligrapher, and Lanting became a holy place for calligraphy.
