8.23

酣進過常遂致醟逸。醜聲遐布遠達岷方。劉璋教曰。夫靈仙養命。猶節松霞而厚身。嗜味奚能尚道。子魯聞之憤恥。意深罰其掃路。世傳道士後會舉標。以防斯難。兼制厨命酒限三升。漢末已來謂為制酒。至王靈期削除釁目。先生道民並其賑錫。雖有五利之貴。更為妖物之名。

Drinking heavily beyond measure, they ultimately fell into licentious revelry. Their foul reputation spread afar, reaching all the way to the Min region. Liu Zhang issued an instruction saying: 'Indeed, efficacious immortals nourish life, still moderating pine needles and rosy mist to preserve the body; if one is addicted to rich flavors, how can one exalt the Dao?' Zi Lu heard this and felt deep shame and indignation; as punishment, he had them sweep the roads. Later generations transmitted that Daoists raised markers at their gatherings to guard against this difficulty, and also restricted the kitchens by limiting wine to three sheng; from the end of the Han onward, they called it 'regulating wine'. By the time of Wang Lingqi, he eliminated the titles of transgression, and both 'Xiansheng' and 'Dao People' were bestowed with relief and gifts. Though having the prestige of the 'Five Benefits', they were merely names for demonic creatures.
