One day, Su Dongpo and Zhang were drinking and composing poems in the crane pavilion. Su Dongpo took out a new treasure knife and tried it on the bluestone beside the drinking crane spring well. He cut three times in a row, leaving three deep knife marks on the big bluestone. Su Dongpo is very happy. Just then, the attendants brought tea and cakes. There is a new honey cake that is very delicious, but it has no name yet. Many friends asked Su Dongpo to name it. When he saw three knife marks floating on the surface of the cake, he casually replied, "So are three honey knives."
