Features: "Liu Gongquan's Calligraphy of Poems from the Orchid Pavilion Banquet," now preserved in the Palace Museum. Green silk scroll, height 26.5 cm, length 36.5.3 cm. Black silk border, running script, transcribing poems composed by Wang Xizhi and others during the Orchid Pavilion Banquet in the Jin Dynasty. At the end, there are eight inscriptions from the Northern Song Dynasty's Xing Tianchong to the Jin Dynasty's Wang Wanqing, followed by three inscriptions from the Ming Dynasty's Wang Shizhen to Zhang Fengyi and one from the Qing Dynasty's Wang Hongxu. Later, it entered the collection of the Qianlong Imperial Household in the Qing Dynasty, marked by its seals and inscriptions. Due to the early severance of the left margin of the final line at the end of the scroll, there is no remaining silk, and the author's name and signature are lost. The Song Dynasty's "Xuanhe Shupu" records it as Liu Gongquan's calligraphy. This book presents a selected and carefully preserved ink of his works.
