Why do people in China hardly drink drinks for breakfast?

First of all, I said that we China people don't drink drinks for breakfast, which may be biased. It depends on the definition of drinks. Because we China people have soybean milk, morning tea, milk and so on for breakfast, which can also be regarded as liquid drinks. So if we put aside these traditional "liquid drinks" in China, in a narrow sense, we in China do not drink juice or drinks for breakfast. As for why, it's a long story. 1. The breakfast culture in China has a history of several thousand years, but the history of fruit juice or beverage is still short, so it is difficult to shake the eating habits of China people. We have a long history in China, and so does the breakfast culture of China people. For example, the history of soybean milk can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, the history of morning tea in Guangdong can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, and the history of hot soup in Henan can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. We China people have long been used to drinking these at breakfast, and we like to drink them. There is no chance for fruit juice or drinks. Otherwise, why do you think there is juice for breakfast in hotels, but most people don't choose it. 2. People in China pay attention to dry and wet breakfast, which is smooth and smooth. They don't do anything at all, and they don't need to drink other liquids. People in China pay attention to dry and wet breakfast, both in the south and in the north. Dry food can be enough, while soup, soy milk, etc. can relieve the loss of appetite in the morning and protect the fragile stomach. In the south, breakfast is often steamed stuffed buns, noodles, or porridge, which are themselves liquid or relatively moist food. In the north, if breakfast is dry food such as steamed buns, it will also be accompanied by bean juice, soybean milk and big bowl of tea. With this breakfast, there is no need to drink juice or drinks. 3. People in China are used to drinking hot food in the morning, which is really good for their health. In the morning, the human body temperature is still relatively low, and the blood flow is not smooth, so the nutrition can't be well absorbed. At this time, it will be better to drink hot food for breakfast, and most of them will choose porridge, soybean milk, Hu spicy soup, morning tea, etc., which will make the body comfortable and absorb it better after drinking. Unfortunately, fruit juice is generally cold. Drinking cold in the morning is really not as good as drinking hot, so it is reasonable not to be chosen. 4. There are very few juicers in China's family, and there are very few drinks in the family. The conditions themselves are not very good. Generally, in the morning, the shops selling juice are not open yet, so you can't even think about going out to buy juice for breakfast. China families generally don't have juicers, because most people think it's not necessary to eat ready-made fruits. So on the whole, we don't have our own conditions, let alone drink! As for drinks, by the same token, most families may put several boxes of milk at home, but it is really unusual to put drinks.
