    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion (蘭亭集序) or known as ‘Lanting Xu’, is the most notable piece that was self-composed and handwritten by Wang Xizhi (王羲之). Before Xizhi’s official retirement as a governor on 353 CE, he invited more than 40 literary figures to compose poems while enjoying wine during Spring Purification Festival (上巳節) at the Orchid Pavilion (Lanting) near the town Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The gathering was later depicted by Xizhi using his “Running Script (行書)” handwriting style and served as the preface to the collection of these poems. Even though the original manuscript is gone, the art had been highly appreciated through generations that several finely traced copies and rubbings are still well-preserved.]]></dcterms:description>
