Yu Shinan came to the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, and the ink was traced on the stone. Before Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru called Yu Lin, it was also classified as a copy. This copy was submitted to the Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty by Zhang Jinjie Nujin in the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the copy, there was a small inscription of the Yuan Dynasty: “Zhang Jinjie Nujin in the minister”, and there was a big seal of “the treasure of the calendar” in the Yuan Dynasty, so people in the Ming and Qing dynasties also called it “Lanting Zhang Jinjie Nuben”, or “Tianli Lanting”. In the postscript, Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty believed that “it was near Yongxing (Yu Shinan)”, and the inscription of the Qing Liang and Qing Dynasties in the beginning of the volume was also called “Tang Yu Shinan Linxi Tie”. Later, it was renamed Yu Shinan Linben. According to expert research, this is an ancient copy of the Tang Dynasty. Ink was originally collected in the Forbidden City
This post is engraved on the first column of the eight-pillar post of the Lanting Pavilion (Volume 1), and bears the seal of “Summer Resort”, “Treasure of Emperor Qianlong”, etc. The title of the single post is regular script: “Yu Shinan imitates the preface of the Orchid Pavilion”. There are postscripts by Dong Qichang, Chen Jiru and Yang Jiazuo. There are “Yang Ming Shi Yin”, “Tianli Zhi Bao”, “Neifu Book”, “Yizhou Appreciation”, “Liang Qing Biao Yin” and other engravings
