“六一”國際兒童節(jié)到來,很多學校都會舉行聯(lián)歡活動(party)。在古代中國,文人墨客也很喜歡組織熱鬧、快樂的“派對”,他們稱之為“雅集”。歷史上最著名的雅集之一,便是東晉大書法家王羲之組織的“蘭亭雅集”,著名的《蘭亭集序》便誕生于此呢。那么,跟隨故事,讓我們?nèi)ァ疤m亭雅集”來一番深度體會吧。
It was the third day of the third lunar month in the year 353. I held a party at the Orchid Pavilion and invited my family and friends. In the end, 42 people joined, including me.
To enjoy the beauty of spring, I made it an outdoor party. The mountains and plants around were our decorations(裝飾), and the earth(大地) served as(充當) our seats. But what about a table for food and drinks? We used a stream(小溪)!
We played a fun game called “Drifting cups on a meandering stream(曲水流觴)”. All of us sat by the the stream and filled our cups with rice wine(米酒). Then we let the cups float(漂?。?on the stream. If a cup stopped, the person closest to it had to write a poem(詩).
Oh, one cup stopped in front of my 10-year-old son, Wang Xianzhi(王獻之). Haha, he was too young to write a beautiful poem. Let’s wait and see.
We wrote 37 poems that day and put them together in a book. I was so happy that I wrote a preface(序言) for the book. That’s the famous Preface to the Collection of Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion(《蘭亭集序》).
