Picture of the day

"Lantingji Xu" scroll (Shenlong version). Today’s lunar calendar day is the third day of March (Chinese: 三月初三), is the Shangsi Festival, a traditional festival in ancient China. Legend has it that on the Shangsi Festival in 353, Wang Xizhi held an Orchid Pavilion Gathering and wrote the "Lantingji Xu". The original is lost. This Tang Dynasty copy by Feng Chengsu (馮承素) is considered the best of all the extant copies.
