Chaozhou, an ancient city, has preserved a large number of unique ancient buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, and gathered dozens of intangible cultural exhibition halls, which has become a window for people to understand Chaozhou culture. Six projects, including Chaozhou Music, Chaozhou Opera, Chaozhou Iron Puppet, Chaozhou Paper-cutting, Chaozhou Woodcarving and Chaozhou Embroidery, have been listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Chaozhou is famous for its ceramics, wood carving, jade carving and stone carving. Among them, Chaozhou ceramics are as white as jade, as thin as paper, as thin as silk, as bright as a mirror and as loud as a chime, and their products are exported to all parts of the world. Chaozhou dialect is rich in folk arts, the most famous of which are Dawu clay sculpture floating in the ocean, Anbu lantern riddle, Yixi gongs and drums, Jinshi puppet show and Huanggang puppet show.
Kung fu tea is famous for its beautiful shape, green color, strong fragrance and sweet taste. At a relative's house, I witnessed the process of making congou tea: I grabbed a handful of kung fu tea, poured boiling water into the teapot until the spout was full, scraped off the foam at the spout, then poured the water out of the kettle, made it again, and covered it. Soon, the fragrance of congou tea overflowed.
Pick up the "pot ear" and pour the congou in the pot into several small cups. Pick up the cup, smell its fragrance, observe its color and sip it slowly. Very leisurely. The master's dexterous movements in making tea are also worth appreciating as art.
