Story:
During the Jin Dynasty, Shan Jian was notoriously fond of alcohol, a veritable drunkard.
While stationed in Xiangyang, he frequently invited friends to visit Gaoyang Pond. Their outings invariably involved drinking and revelry.
Shan Jian would drink until he was completely intoxicated, often sprawling backward in his carriage. At that time, people used the idiom "Shan Gong Dào Zài" to describe such a dead drunk person.
