Tips

culture
The poem 《赠汪伦》 ends 桃花潭水深千尺,不及汪伦送我情, 'Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, yet not as deep as Wang Lun's feeling in seeing me off'. A later story says Wang Lun lured the poet to his village in Jing County, Anhui, with a letter promising ten li of peach blossom and ten thousand wine shops: the pool was ten li away, and the only wine shop belonged to a man named Wan.
