Tips

culture
It ends 桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情 'the Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, but not as deep as Wang Lun's feeling in seeing me off'. Li Bai was already in his boat when he heard Wang Lun singing on the bank and stamping out the beat.
history
汪伦 lived near the pool in today's 泾县, Anhui. The story goes that he lured Li Bai there with a letter promising 'peach blossoms for ten li and ten thousand wine shops': the peach blossoms were the name of the pool, and the 'ten thousand' was a wine shop run by a family named Wan.
