19.紹興 曲水流觴

Think about it, if you live next to such a lake , surrounded by water, In the city that produces tasty drinks, yellow rice wine, how would you entertain yourself?What Chinese aristocrats came up with a thousand years ago is pretty romantic.They called it QuShuiLiuShang.People sit on both sides of the canal.A glass of wine is filled upstream and set to float downstream.Whoever it stops by or overturns next two has to make up a poem on the spot.Or they have to drink if they can't think of anything.Such a party would often end in drunkenness.And what we're left with is a stack of the most heartfelt poetry in China.The people here have inherited this romanticism.
