The Water Margin (水滸後傳) is one of the earliest Chinese works written in Mandarin, and is attributed to Shi Nai’an. Wu Song is the legendary hero, and one of the characters in the Water Margin. During his travels, Wu Song passes by a tavern in Yanggu County with a banner that reads “After Three Bowls, Do Not Climb the Mountain”. The bartender explains that the wine is so strong that customers would get drunk after having three bowls and could not cross the mountain ahead. Wu Song argues with the bartender and drinks eighteen bowls of wine.
