Origin and Story of 黄垆之痛
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Rong, one of the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove' and the Minister of Personnel, was dressed in luxurious clothes. He was riding in a carriage and passed by the famous Huang Gong's wine stall, a place where he, Ji Kang, and Ruan Ji used to drink together.
