What do you mean by five barrels?
"Wumen" is an ancient unit of measurement, which is usually used to measure the quantity of coarse cereals. According to records, a bucket of five is enough for a family to stutter for three months. In ancient society, five fights were regarded as a symbol of family wealth and a measure of civil property disputes. It can be seen that the five fights played an important role in the lives of the ancients.

In addition to referring to quantity in general, "five fights" has special symbolic significance in ancient literary works. For example, in A Dream of Red Mansions, the existence of Five Mi Dou Daoism is regarded as a panacea to provide spiritual sustenance for the hero "Jia Baoyu"; In another ancient novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, five fights of wine fulfilled the brotherhood between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. From the perspective of ancient culture, the "five fights" carry more strong feelings and hopes.

Although the warfare is no longer a unit of measurement in real life, in many ways, people's memories and yearning for the warfare have been passed down. For example, many catering enterprises now include the name "Five Doors Rice" in their menus as a tribute to traditional cuisine and culture. In addition, in many folk festivals, traditional forms such as "Five Mi Dou Knives" will be inherited from the tradition accordingly, providing people with a unique cultural journey.
