The story of Du Kang being drunk for three years.

It is said that Kangjiawei Village, Dayang Township, Baishui County, Shaanxi Province, is the hometown of Du Kang.

Legend has it that Du Kang opened a hotel in Baishui Kangjiawei. Liu Ling, a famous scholar among the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was famous for drinking. One day, Liu Ling passed by and saw a couplet posted on the door of the hotel: "A cup of wine in the mountain, two cups of water at the bottom of the sea, sleeping dragons". Horizontal batch: "Don't get drunk for three years without money". Liu Ling couldn't help laughing when he saw it, thinking, I am a famous Brewmaster, where I have never eaten wine or seen such a compliment. Let me finish your wine and see if you dare to go crazy. Then, Liu Ling walked into the hotel and had a drink with Du Kanggan. Who knows, after three glasses of wine, Liu Ling only felt dizzy. Sure enough, she was drunk and stumbled home, drunk for three years. Three years later, Du Kang went to Liu Ling's house for a drink. The family said that Liu Ling had been dead for three years. When Liu Ling's wife heard that Du Kang had come to beg for a drink, she was angry and resentful. She went to Du Kang and cried that she would sue Du Kang. Du Kang said with a smile: "Liu Ling is not dead, just drunk." When they arrived at the cemetery, they opened the coffin and saw that Liu Ling was drunk and slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, stretched out his arms, yawned a lot, blew out a smell of wine, and proudly said, "Good wine smells good!" " This is the folk story of "Du Kang getting drunk in Liu Ling". Up to now, on the other side of Du Kang's tomb in Kangjiawei Village, Dayang Township, Baishui County, there is a stream, which is Liu Ling's tomb, made of stone. The book "Du Kang Made Liu Ling Drunk" handed down from generation to generation wrote: "The best wine in the world is Du Kang, and the biggest drinker is Liu Ling ... After drinking three cups of Dukang, Liu Ling was drunk for three years. "
