The Origin of Drinking Morning Tea in Guangdong

The so-called drinking morning tea is said to have originated from Tongzhi and Guangxu years in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, rich people liked to play with birds and play cricket. Walking birds is usually in the early morning, so you can always see a large group of rich boys walking in the street in cages. Due to the backward communication at that time, big news and big news were generally known by rich people through contact with the outside world, so many rich people always gathered in the teahouse early in the morning to order a dinner. In the past, tea was usually steamed horseshoe cake, glutinous rice chicken and so on. Then everyone exchanges news with each other or shows off their value. Ordinary people also show their prestige by knowing things they don't usually know in teahouses, and because people who go to teahouses are generally rich, going to teahouses has become a symbol of their status over time. Of course, today, from morning tea to afternoon tea and evening tea, going to the teahouse has become the most common and common thing for urban residents. Here, people exchange all kinds of economic and commodity information. A lot of business opportunities and information are soaked in tea cups.
