蘭亭雅會眾群賢
曲水流觴舍管絃
天朗氣清風惠暢
茂林修竹樂怡然
At the Orchid Pavilion a refined gathering of many worthies.
Wine cups float along the winding stream, and music is set aside.
The sky is clear, the air fresh, and the breeze is gentle.
Dense woods and tall bamboo bring quiet pleasure.
What this lot says
A gathering of friends outdoors with poetry, wine and fine weather. There is no problem in the verse.
It is graded high and reads as a lot of good company, good setting and an easy mind.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
