Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty had a special liking for crabs, and especially liked to eat crabs with wine. "Crab claws are gold liquid, and the hills are Penglai. You must drink fine wine and get drunk on the high platform by the moon." The posture of holding the pincers and raising the cup, and the state of being wild and dizzy are all reflected in a few poems.

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was addicted to crabs and often exchanged poems for crabs: "It makes me laugh at the greedy prefect of Wuzhong, who exchanged one poem for two Jian Tuan (crabs, also known as Jian Tuan in ancient times)." The literary giant exchanged poems for crabs. Two crabs, the proud look is admirable. No wonder after eating crabs, he sighed, "If you don't go to Mount Lu, you will let your eyes down, and if you don't eat crabs, you will let your belly down."
