Six Poems of Lanting are six poems written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, in the preface to Lanting Collection, which was compiled and circulated, including one poem in four words and five poems in five words.
The status and fame of these six poems are not as good as those of Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, but they show that the poet has made a new attempt: poetry began to pay attention to the aesthetics of mountains and rivers, and realized Hyunri from the mountains and rivers. This attempt indicates that landscape poetry will rise.
Six Lanting poems:
One: metabolic scale, how suddenly. I am very happy this late spring, I am very gentle. Singing and dancing, different generations are in cahoots. Take Qi Qi and have fun.
Second: Elephant luck, endless rotation. Peach blossom is not my career, nor is it my system to go. The patriarchal clan system is actually in place, that is, it is reasonable and self-sufficient. If you don't feel it with your heart, you will be interested. If you don't meet, it is a good time.
Third: three spring group goods, delivery smoothly in the cause. Look up at the blue sky and overlook the clear water bank. There is no embarrassing view, and it is reasonable and self-sufficient. Great achievements are made in nature and everything is different. Although the sound of the combination is uneven, it is nothing new to me.
Fourth: Yi, Ersanzi are entrusted by Qi. Really explore the root of mystery, and those who are involved in the world are passers-by. What I knew before was not what I expected. The virtual room is my home. If you think about the Millennium, why bother thanking the past? No phase, skeleton falling off.
Fifth: Learn to lead an honest and clean life and stop being stingy. It's not easy to keep fit, and heaven punishes three shackles. If you don't stop, you will be beaten. Although there is no silk and bamboo, there is a clear sound in Xuanquan. Although there is no whistling and singing, chanting is more fragrant. Once you have fun, it will last for a thousand years.
Sixth: the combination and dispersion consolidate its normality, and there is no beginning of trimming. If you don't stop creating new things, you will never stand up again. Today is a miracle, and I believe in the same dust. Who can't have this generosity, depending on reason? Words are immortal and rivers are clear.
In 353 AD (the 9th year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty), Wang Xizhi, Sun Chuo, Xie An and Sun Pingeng held a rally in Lanting, Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).
According to the custom of the ancients, it is necessary to wash in the water on the first day of March to get rid of the ominous. The poet will put down the cup filled with wine in the upper reaches of Qushui by the Qushui, and let it drift down the water. Whoever flows to it will drink the cup and write poems on the stream. People put these poems together at that time.
Wang Xizhi wrote a preface for Preface to Lanting Collection, which is famous for its superb calligraphy.
The preface to Lanting Collection is called "the best running script in the world", and its words have spread like wildfire, but the Lanting Poem written by Xi Zhi is seldom noticed. In fact, the ideas expressed in the poem and the text have many similarities with the scenes described, and they can be invented by each other.
