Throughout Chinese history many copies were made of Wang Xizhi's famous work
Lantingji Xu, which described the beauty of the landscape around the Orchid Pavilion and the get-together of Wang Xizhi and his friends. The original is lost. Some believed that the original was buried with
Emperor Taizong of Tang in his mausoleum. This Tang Dynasty copy by Feng Chengsu (馮承素) is considered the best of all the extant copies. It is located in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
