Story:

During the Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming, the magistrate of Pengze, disliked the darkness of officialdom. Unwilling to 'bow for five pecks of rice,' he resolutely resigned from his post and returned to seclusion, farming for the rest of his life.

One year on the Double Ninth Festival, due to poverty, he had no wine to drink and felt particularly vexed.

As he walked alone by the fence, he suddenly saw a person dressed in white who said he was sent by Wang Hong to deliver wine.

Tao Yuanming was overjoyed, took the wine, and immediately drank it all until he was completely drunk.
