Additionally, later folklore had it that the first emperor of Cao Wei named Cao Pi was physically so weak that people did not think he could have a long life when he was very young, but once he started to drink kikuzake on the recommendation of other people, he became stronger and eventually came to the throne of Cao Wei.
また後世の民間伝承では、魏の初代皇帝曹丕は幼時は非常に虚弱で長生できないと思われていたが、菊酒を勧められて服用した後は強健となり長じて魏の皇帝となったという。
