The reason why the Tujia people love to drink camellia soup is not only because the camellia soup contains oil and salt, and the fried tea leaves are fragrant and sweet, but also eating the tea leaves can remove the amino acids and trace element selenium. It is fully absorbed. At the same time, the soup contains ginger, garlic, etc., which has the effect of sterilizing and preventing heatstroke. It can produce fluid and quench thirst. Even if you drink raw water while climbing uphill, you will not easily get sick. In addition, the camellia oleifera soup can also warm the body, relieve heat, whet the appetite, refresh the mind and relieve fatigue, activate the body and strengthen yang, cure hunger and sober up, remove dampness and warm the stomach. It is delicious and addictive, and has high edible and medicinal value.

Camellia oleifera soup not only has a special liking for the older generation, but also has a broad market for young people. Because the tea in the oil tea soup contains trace elements needed by the human body, it can not only meet the human body's intake of trace elements, but also has a unique color, fragrant, strong and intoxicating, crispy and delicious, rich in nutrients, can help reduce fat, and has antiseptic properties. The unique effect of fitness is even better than that of iced black tea and iced green tea sold in the market. It is a high-quality food and drink that is favored by the majority of beauty-loving ladies, office workers, sports people and obese people. .

With the advancement of modern science and technology and economic development, more and more high-tech products have replaced the traditional characteristic culture. The oil tea soup located deep in the mountains has also been impacted to varying degrees. Various juices, cola, yogurt products, tea beverages, seaweed soup and other soups and beverages on the market are emerging in endless new styles. As the pace of life of young people accelerates and their living standards improve, they are becoming more and more fond of various finished products. The more traditional foods like oil tea soup are in danger of being gradually abandoned under the influence of the "quick" and "easy" ideas of most young people. Although many people like to drink it in rural areas, only the older generation and some young people can make it with their own hands. In cities and towns, most of the people who can do it are professional chefs in restaurants and some old people. Therefore, Western Hunan, Western Hubei, Chongqing and other places are also facing the same problem: more and more people love to drink Camellia oleifera soup, but fewer and fewer people love to make and can make traditional and authentic Camellia oleifera soup. . Therefore, it is imperative to protect the inheritance and development of Camellia oleifera soup.
