Basic introduction of tea drinking culture in Guangdong? Tea? The earliest legend of tea lovers is Zhao Tuo, the founding king of South Vietnam. At that time, Zhao Tuo led the minister to drink tea in a pavilion by the river, and saw the water sparkling and relaxed. When he was proud, he was elated, grabbed a handful of tea and sprinkled it on the river. Tea immediately turned into countless dancing cranes, and then the cranes turned into graceful fairies and landed in the building, offering tea to the monarch and subjects of Zhao Tuo. This touching legend dispels the myth, but it shows that Guangzhou people have a long history of drinking tea.
Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Guangzhou, traveled incognito, and went to the teahouse to have morning tea with his personal bodyguard. That is, from then on, the knocking tea ceremony began to be popular all over the country. When drinking tea, Qianlong poured tea for the guards. According to North Korean custom, this is a reward from the emperor. You should kneel and kowtow. Thank you. Long live the Third Ring Road. But now that the emperor is traveling incognito, he can't expose Gan Long's identity. The bodyguard used his quick wits and quickly put his right index finger and middle finger together on the table next to a small teacup? Benedict. Knock on the door a few times to express your gratitude. Since then, this hand-knocking tea ceremony has gradually become popular in the tea market. In fact, Gan Long has never been to Guangzhou, which is a legend of Guangzhou people.
It is difficult to directly understand the morning tea in Guangdong as breakfast, because the connotation of morning tea really goes beyond breakfast. In the Cantonese teahouse, there are all kinds of luxurious Cantonese dim sum.
What if? Porridge noodles rice? Seen by Cantonese? Four Great Inventions in China? Then, can shrimp dumplings, steamed dumplings, rice rolls and barbecued pork buns be called Cantonese dim sum in Guangdong teahouses? Four kings? . The skin of shrimp dumplings is made of clear noodles. There are indeed shrimps in shrimp dumplings, and they are fresh shrimps. Under the skin of the extremely thin and translucent shrimp dumplings, you can vaguely see the rich fillings inside. The thin skin of dry steamed pork is golden yellow because it is mixed with egg liquid, and the semi-exposed stuffing can be seen mixed with horseshoe, shrimp and mushrooms, which makes it cool but not greasy.

The origin of Guangdong tea culture Guangdong is located in the subtropical zone, with long sunshine, high temperature and much sweating. People need to supplement a lot of water through diet. Drinking tea, like drinking water, is first and foremost the need of human survival. With the development of social economy, the connotation of tea culture is constantly enriched. Since the Ming Dynasty, Guangzhou? Tea market? Use Chaozhou? Kung fu tea? These two wonderful flowers of Lingnan tea culture are open with defects. By the Qing Dynasty, Guangdong tea culture had entered the first prosperous period, and both the tea market, teahouses, tea sets, ways of using tea and people's cultural mentality of tasting tea had reached an unprecedented height.
During the reign of Kangxi and Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, most of the works describing local people in Guangdong talked about? Tea? . As Qu Dajun's "Guangdong New Language" clearly pointed out earlier? Xiqiao is called Chashan. Since Tang transplanted ancient bamboo tea on it, people in this mountain have grown tea faster. Cao Song, a native of the Tang Dynasty (now Buried Hill, Anhui Province), traveled to Guangzhou in the south, and introduced the famous tea of Zhejiang ancient bamboo to Lingnan during his stay in Xiqiao Mountain. Qu Dajun also listed the producing areas of Guangdong tea, such as San Shancun, Xiqiao Mountain, Dinghushan, Luofu Mountain, Fengshan in Chaoyang and Qiongzhou. Then there is Fan Duanang's Guangdong Experience, which echoes Qu Dajun's point of view. In the tenth year of Yongzheng (1732), Zhang Qu, a former provincial judge in Guangdong, thought? Generally speaking, Guangdong tea is not as good as Fujian tea. But at the same time, it is pointed out that Guangdong does not produce tea. In addition to the commonly used Guangzhou Henan tea, there are treasures such as? Dinghu tea in Zhaoqing, spicy tree tea in Shaoguan, Luofu tea in Huizhou, and glazed tea in Huazhou? Wait a minute. In fact, Guangdong has always produced tea, and the production of tea has developed rapidly. Guangdong has exported tea in modern times. Cantonese? Love tea? It has become the internal driving force for the development of tea production, and the richness of tea provides reliable conditions for the development of tea culture in Guangdong.
The emergence and development of Guangdong tea culture is determined by specific geographical and climatic conditions, and it is also the result of Guangdong's economic and cultural development. It is human instinct to drink water when thirsty, but with the development of society, people's demand for drinking water has also increased. From the need of survival to the pursuit of comfort and enjoyment, people drink raw water, boiled water and tea. The tea culture in Guangdong is similar to that in other areas. However, due to the frequent commercial activities in the southeast coast of Guangdong, tea culture is more developed and distinctive, especially after the Ming and Qing Dynasties. From Guangzhou? Have morning tea? With chaozhou people? Kung fu tea? It is an important cultural phenomenon in Guangdong's social and cultural life.
