拍品專文



The legendary gathering at the Lanting (Orchid Pavilion) took place in the Eastern Jin dynasty (AD 353). Forty-two scholars were invited to the Orchid Pavilion near Shanyin, Zhejiang province, for the Spring Purification Festival. The participants were given one initial character and were tasked to compose poems. Those who produced two poems had to drink one cup of wine while those who only composed one poem drank two cups, and those who failed to compose any poetry at all, paid a forfeit of consuming three cups.
