Origin and Story of 黄公酒垆
During the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Rong, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" and then a Minister of Personnel, was dressed in splendid clothes and rode past the famous Huang Gong's wine tavern. This was a place where he, Ji Kang, and Ruan Ji used to frequently drink together.
He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of emotion and sorrow in his heart. He then said to the guest behind him, "Ji Kang died young, Ruan Ji has passed away, and I am entangled in worldly affairs. We can no longer drink together."
