They have made great contributions to Liu Bang's efforts to conquer the world, and they are the founding fathers of the Western Han Dynasty, known as "Han Sanjie".
It is said that Zhang Liang failed to stab Qin Shihuang in Bolangsha, so he fled to Xiablank. When passing the "Legacy Bridge" of Guoyang Stone Bow, he happened to meet Huang Shigong, a Taoist master in the world. Huang Shigong threw his shoes under the bridge three times, but Zhang Liang picked them up and put them on. Huang Shigong thought that "a willing son can teach" and asked him to wait on the bridge at the second watch the next day. The next evening, Zhang Liang waited on the bridge. Because of the cold weather, he also took blast furnace wine with him to keep out the cold. Later, Huang Shigong awarded him The Art of War, and Zhang Liang used this book to help Liu Bang destroy Qin and win the world.
During the Chu-Han War, when Zhang Liang, Han Xin and Xiao He led their troops south, passing through the blast furnace and crossing the Wohe River, they saw merchant ships on the river, planting wine flags all over the river, and the strong smell of wine wafted with the wind.

On the way to the front, the fragrance of wine made countless people drool. From then on, "Han Sanjie got off the horse when he heard the fragrance, and the blast furnace wine was ten miles fragrant" was widely circulated among the people.
