In the ninth year of Yonghe, in the year of Gui Chou, at the beginning of late spring, a gathering was held at the Lanting Pavilion in the mountains of Kuaiji, to carry out the Water Purification Ceremony. Many talented and wise people came, both young and old. This place has towering mountains and steep ridges, dense forests and bamboo groves, as well as clear streams and swift currents, flowing around from left to right, creating a winding and meandering watercourse, with people sitting in rows. Although there were no grand music and instruments, there were toasts and poetry recitations.
