Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty had a soft spot for crabs, and especially liked to sip crabs with wine. "Crab pincers and golden liquid, bad mountains and Penglai, the platform next to the moon must be drunk." The poetic immortal's hand-in-hand posture is sparse and dizzy, which is found in several poems.

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was fond of crabs, and often exchanged poems for crabs: "You can laugh at Wuzhong's greed and obedience, and one poem is exchanged for two sharp groups (crabs, called sharp groups in ancient times)." The literary giant changed two crabs for a poem, triumphant. No wonder, after eating crabs, he sighed: "If you don't eat crabs, you will live up to your vision." .
