Urgent need: couplets on food

Hotels and restaurants with famous mountains and scenic spots are all couplets of ordinary literati. Zheng Banqiao, the first of the Eight Eccentric in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, loved pine and bamboo. His couplets in the Tianshidong Dining Hall of Qingcheng Mountain are very interesting: "Sweep bamboo leaves to cook tea" and "chop loose roots to cook vegetable roots". There is a couplet in a hotel in Jiuhuashan: "Why rush to Jiuhuashan to worship the rooftop? You can't be hungry. " Looking at this "advertising couplet", I really want to have a snack first. In the foyer of the century-old Yan Chun Restaurant in Zhenjiang, the ancient city, there is a couplet written by the boss when it was opened: "The banquet is full of peaches and plums" and "It should be rainy and sunny in spring on the bank of Jiao Shan". The name of the restaurant takes the first word of this couplet, which is meaningful! This restaurant also posted another couplet: "Luxury banquets welcome guests, and private tea parties know it." For many years, the business of Yanchun Restaurant has been booming, or related to it.

In Zhenjiang, I saw two beautiful couplets in the restaurant of Yizhichun Vegetarian Restaurant, written by Master Mingshan, the host of Jiao Shan, and Master Ci Zhouda, the host of Jinshan: "A beautiful skill lasts forever, and the house is full of guests like spring." "There are three Zhao caves in the monument, and the most famous chef is a spring."

Couplets written by several celebrities in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province are also very interesting. "Hump bear's paw can boast, cat's ear pulls out fish and is solid and gorgeous" (Taiyuan noodle restaurant door couplet, Lao She's topic) "refers to the taste of soup as a guest and the fragrance as a royal guest." (Taiyuan Imperial Restaurant couplets "Learning to be excellent is an official, eight treasures are available" and "connecting the past with the future, a billion pleasures." (Excerpted from Taiyuan Palace Restaurant, Pu Jie Topic Suzhou Eunuch Lane is a food street which enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. There are many restaurants, excellent food and beautiful couplets.

The couplets of Suzhou Restaurant are inscribed by famous calligraphers: "Chefs from different places are far and near" and "Qionglou is drunk and flies in the morning". The couplets of Deyuelou were inscribed by Weng Tong (Hu He): "Learn from the scriptures and hoe the green fields, leaving dew to brew yellow flowers". In a century-old shop in Guanqian Street, there is an advertising couplet, which is also very particular. In Hai 'an County, Jiangsu Province, I saw two funny couplets under the glass table of a comrade's desk in the county wine and clothing company, which was written very realistically: "Friends are always there, you can bring food, and you can choose anything with high delicacies." "The arrival is a weak crown, and there should be no scratches; I don't teach white hair to make people old, but I like spring breeze. "

Many overseas Chinese have opened restaurants abroad, and China's traditional couplets have also crossed the ocean and spread widely. For example, in Pella, the Australian capital, there are more than 200,000 residents, while there are dozens of restaurants in China. The famous Peking Opera Hotel in Zhen 'ao is inlaid with a pair of couplets on the red columns on both sides of the gate: "Spring sings and drinks here, and the Beijing Crown is built here." In Rome New Town, there is a China restaurant opened by overseas Chinese in Huzhou, which is called Wenlou Hotel, and a couplet is hung: "Set a banquet for a strong forest, fly over the bright moon and meet at Wenlou."
