Trivia
The origin of the name is from the saying "Three Tastes" (三味) by ancient Chinese scholars in regards to their opinion towards reading books. The saying is as follows;
"读经味如稻粱，读史味如肴馔，读诸子百家味如醯醢。"
- - The original saying in Classical Chinese
"读四书五经之类味如吃米面，是食之本；读史记味如喝美酒吃佳肴：读诸子百家之类的书，味如酱醋（好比烹调中的佐料一样）。"
- - The saying in Modern Chinese
"To read the Four Books and Five Classics[1] 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[2] 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[3] is as if you're tasting the soy sauce or the vinegar, as in the seasoning of the meal"
- - The saying translated to English and with context
The SanWei Bookstore is where the famous Chinese author Lu Xun (周樹人) studied at when he was in his teens.[4]
