Sourced Overview Evidence
A cheerful gathering of poets was one the most popular themes of East Asian literati paintings. <em>Literary Gathering in the Orchid Pavilion </em>depicts a poets’ party hosted in AD 353 by the famous Chinese calligrapher Wang Xizhi to celebrate the Spring Purification Festival, observed annually on the third day of the third month. Wang invited 41 scholar-poets to compose poetry and drink while seated along the bank of a winding rivulet. This screen would have appeared on the left and shows preparations for the gathering. The lost right screen is assumed to have depicted the poets sitting along the stream.
