《徐霞客游记·滇游日记二十五》
他们在架子上放置二只盛酒的蹲，下面用微火慢慢地煮，把钩藤条插进蹲中，主客依次传递着吸饮蹲中白酒，屡次加水进去，但酒味并未减淡。
置二樽于架上，下煨以火，插藤于中而递吸之，屡添而味不减此处即描述钩藤饮酒法。
They placed two crock pots containing wine on a rack and heated them on low heat. They put gou 藤条 into the crock pots. The host and guests took turns passing around and drinking the heated wine. They added water several times but the wine did not get weaker.
