1940 V. Cressy-Marcks Journey into China vii. i. 257 We ‘Kaanpei-ed’ frequently, raising the small wine cups, and drinking the warm wine. They use the word Kaanpei, raising the glass to the guest, rather like our saying ‘Good health’.

1962 E. Snow Other Side of River (1963) vii. 59 ‘Kan-pei!’ (Bottoms up!) we all said.

1976 Courier-Mail (Brisbane) 7 July 4/2 One of the cordial customs in China is to ganbei a Mao-tai—to down in one dash a glass of the country's famous colourless wheat-based liquor.

1977 O. Schell China (1978) i. 131 He arrives at our table with several other merrymakers, all holding wineglasses, and proposes a kan-pei (bottoms up).

1987 Time 13 Apr. 85/1 Many ganbei, or toasts, drunk with..mao-tai whisky, cloyingly sweet orange soda or cool, refreshing Chinese beer were raised.
