Within the Lanting, there stands a triangular pavilion known as the Goose Pond Pavilion. Inside the pavilion, a stele bears the two large cursive characters ‘E Chi’, which we refer to as the ‘Father and Son Stele’. It is said that these characters were jointly written by Wang Xizhi and his son, Wang Xianzhi. The character ‘E’ appears elegant and upright, while ‘Chi’ is more bold and unrestrained. Legend has it that Wang Xizhi was fond of geese, keeping a flock at his home, and today, a few pure white geese are also raised in the Goose Pond at Lanting. The opening hours and business status are subject to the daily opening conditions.
