Let it be known:
My brother, Lan Wangji, has informed me that it is thought proper here to introduce one's self in a letter upon arrival in this land. Please forgive my clumsy manners; where I came from, one is generally introduced by others, so I have little practice in this.
I am Lan Xichen, also called Zewu Jun, Clan Leader of Gusu Lan. I bow before you in thanks for your courtesy in welcoming me. I will begin at once to compose a poem that will adequately express my gratitude, and my regret that I have no proper gifts to offer for your hospitality.
