The origin of the name is from a saying by ancient Chinese scholars in regards to their opinion towards reading books. A direct translation would be "Three Tastes", but terms of meaning it would be;<blockquote>''"To read the Four Books and Five Classics is as if you're eating the rice or the noodles of the meal, they are the central to the experience; To read the Records of the Grand Historian is as if you're sipping the delicate wine or eating the most expensive dish of the meal; To read the Hundred Schools of Thought is as if you're tasting the soy sauce or the vinegar, as in the seasoning of the meal"''</blockquote>The SanWei Bookstore is where the famous Chinese author Lu Xun (周樹人) studied at when he was in his teens.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun</ref>
