The restaurant is known for maintaining the classic shaoxing wine tradition that has been around since the dynastic times. Though it should not be confused as a possible birthplace of the wine since it has been around many dynasties before the birth of the restaurant.

It has also been mentioned by writer Lu Xun in his work (孔乙己) with the restaurant situating in his hometown.Godist.China. " [http://www.godist.cn/History/8787.shtml Godist.cn] ." "Hometown of Lu Xun "Xianheng Hotel" reopening." Retrieved on 2008-03-04.]
