摘要

THE water town of Shaoxing has been the haunt of Chinese literati for centuries.In 353 of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), Wang Xizhi, most well-known calligrapher in Chinese history, went on an outing to the Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing with some friends. There he used his calligraphy brush to write a 324-character preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection in running script style. Each of Wang's characters shows his consummate calligraphy skill and noble character. This piece is considered the finest work of calligraphy ever, and the Orchid Pavilion is consequently also well known. Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911) also stopped at the Orchid Pavilion and inscribed their writings on a stele there.
