Time made by water
The heritage explanation interprets Poseokjeong’s channel through a floating-cup banquet modelled on Wang Xizhi’s story. The account of composing before the cup arrives, or drinking penalty cups, stays within that interpretation.
22m and 5.9cm
What remains is a 22m stone channel and a 5.9cm drop. The note that speed varies with water volume, cup shape, and fill is a clue for reading heritage, not a rule that exactly reconstructs every scene.
Distance from a modern makgeolli
The Poseokjeong story does not establish the origin or serving place of any modern makgeolli. The Gyeongju Beopju Rice Makgeolli guidance is separate modern-product material, not an ancient-table photo or menu.
