Food has an indissoluble bond with literary classics, and is inseparable from couplets. Food is about taste, and couplets are also about taste. A good couplet has the same taste as poetry, but its function is broader than poetry. Especially in hotels and restaurants, literati would recite poems and write poems while enjoying fine wines and delicacies. Some literati would take advantage of the wine to co-sign for the store, which can be appreciated and "advertised". Some couplets written by famous people are arranged in the store to add to the cultural atmosphere and combine Confucianism with business. It is also an elegant thing! Couplets, also called couplets, are one of my country's traditional literary forms and are widely circulated among the people.

In hotels and restaurants with famous mountains and scenic spots, couplets of literati and elegant people are often seen. Zheng Banqiao, the head of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, loved pine and bamboo. The couplet he wrote in the dining hall of Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain is very interesting: "Sweep bamboo leaves to cook tea, chop pine roots to cook vegetable roots." A hotel in Jiuhua Mountain has a couplet: "Why visit Jiuhua in a hurry and go to the rooftop to worship the sky without feeling hungry?" After looking at this "advertising couplet", I really wanted to go into the store and have a snack first. In the foyer of "Yanchun Restaurant", a century-old restaurant in the ancient town of Jiangjiang, there is a couplet written by the owner when it opened: "The banquet opens in the peach and plum garden, and there is a wine and a chant, and spring is on the bank of Jinjiao Mountain. It is rainy and sunny." The restaurant is named after it. The first word of this couplet has a profound meaning! There is another couplet posted in this restaurant: "Welcome guests with luxurious banquets, and gather close friends with tea in private seats." Over the years, the business of Yanchun Restaurant has been booming, which may be related to this couplet.

In Zhenjiang, I saw two beautiful couplets in the restaurant of "Yizhichun" vegetarian restaurant. They were written by Master Mingshan, the host of "Jiaoshan" and Master Cizhou, the host of "Jinshan" in Zhenjiang: "Yixiqiong Skills" Prosperous life, the hall is full of guests, and it seems that spring is coming. "Sanzhao Cave is still a historic site, and the most famous chef is Yi Zhichun."

There are also interesting couplets inscribed by several celebrities in Taiyuan, Shanxi. For example, "The camel's hump and bear's paw are not worthy of praise, but the cat's ears and the fish are real and gorgeous." (Taiyuan noodle shop door couplet, inscribed by Lao She). "You can taste the soup at your fingertips and offer it to the guests. The fragrance floats over the royal meal to welcome the guests." (Taiyuan Imperial Dinner Couplet) "Reviewing the old and knowing the new eight treasures will make you enjoy a billion tastes in the future." (Excerpted from Taiyuan Palace Restaurant, inscribed by Pujie) Suzhou Eunuch Alley is a famous food street at home and abroad, with numerous restaurants, excellent food, and beautiful doorways.

The couplet on the door of Suzhou Wangsi Restaurant was written by the famous calligrapher Fei Xinwo: "The bright cooks from far away are happy, and the Qionglou Yuyu is drunk and the sun is flying." In a century-old restaurant on Guanqian Street, "Ye" "Granting Harmony", there is an advertising slogan, which is also very particular: "Refined meat and vegetables, grilled smoked fish and meat floss, select fragrant melon seeds, nourishing fruit juice and famous sugar." In Hai'an County, central Jiangsu Province, I saw a comrade from the county's beverage and service company working. There are two interesting couplets pressed under the glass top of the table, and they are written very realistically: "Friends come often, you can have a meal, and you can choose the delicacies at the elegant meeting." "Everyone who comes here is a weak guest, and there should be no one who is here to offend. "I don't think gray hair will make people grow old, but I would rather have a spring breeze on their face."

Many overseas Chinese open restaurants abroad, and traditional Chinese couplets have also traveled across the ocean and been widely circulated. For example, in Perra, the capital of Australia, there are more than 200,000 residents and dozens of Chinese restaurants. The famous Beijing Hotel in Australia has a couplet inlaid on the red pillars on both sides of the door: "Here is a place where singing and singing bring spring wine, and the Beijing Hotel "The crown covers this climbing tower." In the new city of Rome, Italy, there is a Chinese restaurant opened by overseas Chinese from Huzhou called "Wenlou Hotel". There is also a couplet: "Tiaoding and Qionglin Banquet, Flying in the Broken Moon Juwenlou."

Our country’s long cultural history has formed a unique style in business. Although some of the couplets listed above are just bits and pieces, they can not only attract customers, add elegance and cultural atmosphere, but also cultivate temperament. Inspire reverie.
