?A Dream of Red Mansions*** has two places where Huiquan wine is mentioned: one is in the 16th chapter, when Jia Lian escorts Lin Daiyu to Suzhou to attend to the funeral of her father. After returning to Beijing, Sister Feng held a banquet to welcome him. Jia Lian's wet nurse, Aunt Zhao, came over. Sister Feng quickly invited her to drink and said, "Mom, try the Huiquan wine your son brought." Aunt Zhao said, "I Let’s have a drink, grandma, what are you afraid of? Just don’t drink too much.” The other time was in the 62nd chapter, Jia Baoyu’s birthday. In addition to drinking and celebrating during the day, there was also a banquet in Yihongyuan at night. Fangguan, who once studied opera, said to Baoyu: "If I drink wine at night, don't ask anyone to control me. I will try my best to eat as much as I can. I will eat two or three kilograms of good Huiquan wine at home first!"

?Huiquan, also known as "Huiquan", is located under the front peak of Huishan in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Tang Luyu thought it was the second spring in the world. There are three pools in the spring, the upper, middle and lower. The water is clear and mellow, and is used to make wine, which is called "Huiquan wine" or "Sanbai". Huiquan wine is also a kind of yellow wine.
