On April 22, 353 AD (the third day of March in the ninth year of Yonghe, Jin Dynasty), Wang Xizhi, then the internal historian of Kuaiji, and his friends Xie An, Sun Chuo and other 41 people gathered at Lanting in Shanyin, Kuaiji to drink and compose poems.
Wang Xizhi compiled these poems into a collection and wrote a preface to describe the incident of drinking Qushui and express his inner feelings caused by it.
This preface is the "Preface to the Lanting Collection".
