It is popular among Yangzhou people to have morning tea “without money”

Some poems and poems can reflect a lot of In ancient times, Yangzhou people's "eating" customs and habits were such as tasting "eight new foods" at the beginning of summer. "Baxin" refers to seasonal foods such as anchovies, cherries, new bamboo shoots, wheat kernels, broad beans, amaranth, new tea, green plums, plums, radish, salted duck eggs, etc. Among them, anchovies are the most precious. "Yangzhou Bamboo Branch Poems" by Emperor Weiye of the Qing Dynasty describes the summer scene in Yangzhou: "The weather is sunny and the evening breeze is gentle, and I take off all my cotton clothes in early April. Daijiu is sold next to the celebration ceremony, and anchovies are bought at the cherry market."

Jiang Jingfen, the organizer of Yangzhou's "Three Knives" poems, poems and ballads and an expert on Yangzhou culture, explained that this poem describes the fact that Yangzhou people would sacrifice their cotton-padded clothes in order to taste the taste of anchovies, which shows how attractive it is.

According to Jiang Jingfen, Yangzhou people not only "make cotton-padded clothes for eating shad", but also lead the trend of "eating morning tea". Among them, the most surprising thing among scholars is that the most popular way for Yangzhou people to eat morning tea is "without bringing... money".

It turns out that in ancient times, there were teahouses specially equipped with storytellers and singers, and some street performers often performed in teahouses. The tea guests were enjoying tea and listening to books, and it goes without saying that they felt comfortable and happy. What is particularly convenient for tea drinkers is that they can keep accounts when eating tea, and they can enter the teahouse without bringing any money. The teahouse also buys food and drinks for tea drinkers, pays for rickshaw fares, and also keeps accounts and settles the accounts in three periods. For some old tea drinkers, the first priority when they get up every morning is to go to a teahouse to have tea, and some even wash themselves in the teahouse.

Because the teahouse has an elegant environment and is a place where literati like to gather, literati often gather in teahouses, gather, recite poems, paint, play silk, appreciate bamboo, sing, guess riddles, and compete with each other on their skills. . "The teaching place cherishes the spring, the hunchback Mr. Gao (the owner), the broken tables and broken benches, and the seats are full of poets." It describes the scene of Yangzhou people reciting poems in the teahouse.
