National customs and habits in Chaoshan area

The custom in Chaoshan area is to drink Kung Fu tea, which is popular among men, women and children. The traditional custom is to eat Chaozhou porridge in the afternoon; Chaozhou porridge is rice with pickles in rice porridge, which is eaten by the rich and the poor. Chaozhou people also has several characteristics: 1. He can do business, and he is very cunning. He is known as a Cantonese Jew in Guangfu area. 2. More exclusive; Refers to foreigners. 3. Willing to work hard and dare to work hard; Chaoshan area is vast and sparsely populated, with a large number of immigrants. No matter where you go, you must start from the bottom; If you want to do well, you will dare to work hard as long as you have three chances. 4. Internal unity and strong cohesion; Brother Ma, the lame Hao and the 500 million detective who were in Hong Kong in those days were all hipsters. Chaozhou people's war in other places depends on these points. No matter what internal disputes are, as long as there are external forces, they will put aside disputes and unite to resist foreign aggression. Therefore, Chaozhou associations everywhere can't stand up and dominate one side. Chaozhou people generally does not accept outsiders to enter its circle unless you can speak fluent Chaozhou dialect and live according to Chaozhou customs. There is also a custom that Chaoshan women have no status, and women are not qualified to eat at the table, so they can only squat on the stove; Only the oldest person in the family can go out to the table.
