Introduction to the flowing wine cup Qushui: When Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, lived in Rongzhou, he imitated the meaning of "flowing wine cup Qushui" in Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and built it using the natural canyon. The pool is in the shape of nine curves, with eight stone benches erected, leading to a clear spring flowing through the cracks in the rock. Literati and poets sat in it, drinking from their cups and reciting poems for singing. The rocks here are strange, the ancient trees are towering, and the artistic conception is quiet. It has been a place for literati and refined scholars of all ages to sing. It is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Yibin.
