The legend of Du Kang’s wine making:

Legend has it that Du Kang dreamed of an old man with a white beard one night and told Du Kang that he would be given a glimpse of spring water. You need to find three different drops of human blood in the opposite mountain within nine days, drop them into them, and you will get the most beautiful drink in the world.

When Du Kang got up the next day, he found that there was a spring in front of his door, with crystal clear water. So he went out into the mountains to look for three drops of blood. On the third day, Du Kang met a scholar. After reciting poems and writing poems to build a close relationship, he asked him to cut off his finger and drop a drop of blood. On the sixth day, he met a samurai. After Du Kang explained his purpose, the samurai without saying a word took out his knife and generously cut off his finger, dripping a drop of blood. On the ninth day, Du Kang saw a stupid man sleeping under a tree. His mouth was full of vomiting and he was extremely dirty. Unfortunately, the time limit had expired, so Du Kang spent one tael of silver to buy a drop of his blood.

After turning around, Du Kang dropped three drops of blood into the spring. The spring water immediately rolled, the steam increased, and the fragrance was fragrant. He tasted it like a fairy or a fool. Because it took nine days and three drops of blood, Du Kang named the drink "wine".
