东晋永和九年（公元353年）农历三月初三，王羲之邀集挚友四十一人修禊于兰亭，临流泛觞，饮酒赋诗，并即兴写下被后人誉为“天下第一行书”的《兰亭集序》，王羲之被后世称为“书圣”，兰亭由此成为书法圣地。1600多年来，兰亭几经兴废变迁，现兰亭系明嘉靖二十七年（1548年）由天章寺迁建，后经清代重建，当代几经扩建，始具今日规模。景区素以“景幽、事雅、文妙、书绝”四大特色享誉海内外。主要景点有：鹅池碑、兰亭碑、曲水流觞、御碑亭，兰亭书法博物馆等。
自王羲之在兰亭写下《兰亭集序》后，兰亭文化深入人心，兰亭也成了历代文人雅士的仰慕之地。时至今日，兰亭修禊与曲水流觞仍在延续，自1985年开始，每年的农历三月初三，中国兰亭书法节如约而行。中国兰亭书法节的坚持与韧性，显示出绍兴对于兰亭的重视。以兰亭书法节为核心的兰亭书法活动渗透着兰亭文化的形式，承续着传统兰亭，建构起当代兰亭文化，更为重要的是已然化为绍兴的一种生活方式，这正是兰亭文化的魅力所在。
Translation:
It is on the third day of the Third Lunar Month, the ninth year of Yonghe (A.C.353) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty(the era from 266 to 420),Wang Xizhi, who is an esteemed calligrapher in China, invited 41 bosom friends to meet together in Lan Pavilion where they got purification so that they can ward off the evil spirit and bring good fortune. While composing poetry, they also drunk in succession from a cup floating down the curving stream. Then Wang Xizhi improvised Lanting Xu( Preface of the Orchid Pavilion) ,which was later known as " the best running script in the world”. Wang Xizhi is also later praised as the Sage of Calligraphy by later generations and Lan Pavilion had thus become a holy land of calligraphy. For more than 1600 years, the Lan Pavilion has experienced rise and fall. It was relocated by the Tianzhang Temple in the 27th year of Jiajing (A.D.1548) in the Ming Dynasty (the era from 1368 to 1644). It was later rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty (the era from 1636 to 1912). After several expansions in the modern time, Lan Pavilion has today’s scale. The Lan Pavilion enjoys its reputation around the world due to its four characteristics- “peaceful scene,art pursuit, great literature and exquisite calligraphy.”The main scenic spots of Lan Pavilion include——Goose Pond Monument, Lan Pavilion Monument, LiuShang Pavilion, Royal Stele Pavilion, and Lan Pavilion Calligraphy Museum and so on.
Since Wang Xizhi completed the Lanting Xu( Preface of the Orchid Pavilion) in the Lan Pavilion, the culture of Lan Pavilion has made great impressions on people’s mind.Lan Pavilion itself also became an admirable place for refined scholars. Up until now, the custom of warding off the evil spirit and drinking in succession from a cup floating down the curving stream still continue. Ever since 1985, on the third day of the Third Lunar Month,the Chinese Lan Pavilion Calligraphy Festival are hold on a timely basis. The persistence and resilience of the Chinese Lan Pavilion Calligraphy Festival signifies that Shaoxing places a high value on the Lan Pavilion. With the Lan Pavilion Calligraphy Festival as its core, the Lan Pavilion calligraphy activities permeate the forms of Lan Pavilion culture, inherit the traditional Lan Pavilion culture and then construct the contemporary Lan Pavilion culture. Most importantly, the Lan Pavilion calligraphy activities have become a kind of lifestyle in Shaoxing, which are precisely the charm of Lan Pavilion culture.
