Sichuan's Cultural Tradition 1 Tea Culture
If you come to Sichuan without drinking tea, you won't feel the slow life here. Sichuanese especially like drinking tea, soaking in teahouses, ordering a cup of tea, taking a nap or reading casual books, or getting together to fight landlords. This is our Baba tea culture.
Sichuanese love to drink tea, drink a bowl of tea in the park, stay in a hotel and make a kung fu tea in their room. Where else do they like tea more than Sichuanese?
Hotpot culture
Spicy hot pot originated in Chongqing. Hot pot is a common practice in Sichuan, and it is also a must-eat food for foreigners when they come to Sichuan. No spicy food, no hot pot, no Sichuan food.
Panda culture
China's national treasure, the giant panda, is one of the symbols of Sichuan. Mengbao Giant Panda is one of the cutest animals in the world with big dark circles, chubby body and iconic walking posture, and is deeply loved by all countries in the world.
Mahjong culture
Sichuan people love mahjong first in the country! For Sichuanese, the fastest thing in life is to play mahjong for an afternoon without being disturbed by the secular world, and finally have a "flower on the bar" after three consecutive times. It only takes two or three hours to wrap a bag, and you can get five or six hundred dollars.
Whether professional players or amateurs, Sichuanese are as enthusiastic about mahjong as Germans love beer and Britons love football. Sichuanese can play all night even if they don't eat or drink.
Draft culture
Jane Zhang,,,, Jason, Xia,,, and so on, these Sichuan artists have shown the world the beauty and courage of Sichuanese. Sichuanese can sing whenever they want, and sing loudly!
Taoist culture

spirits culture
There are many famous wines in Sichuan. Wuliangye LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. ... Fang Shuijing is the oldest brewing workshop in the world, and is listed among the best workshops in the Guinness Book of World Records. Fang Shuijing was the former site of Sichuan Liquor Burning House in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. As the source of China liquor, its historical value is comparable to the Terracotta Warriors. For hundreds of years, wineries and crafts have coexisted so far, and they are living cultural relics, known as "the wordless history book of China Liquor".
Three cultures
If something in China has spread all over the world, foreigners will relish it. The culture of the Three Kingdoms is a matter of course. Not only at home, but also abroad, it is one of the cultures sought after by many fans. Images such as Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Jianmenguan, Wuhou Temple, Zhangfei Temple, Shumen plank road and other cultures let people know about China and Sichuan.
Shu embroidery culture
Shu embroidery, also known as "Sichuan embroidery", is a national intangible cultural heritage. It is one of the four famous embroideries in China, and it is as famous as Suzhou Embroidery, Hunan Embroidery and Guangdong Embroidery. "It rains in March in Furong City, and embroidery needles in April; Feather fan points a thousand troops, brocade is cut several inches ... "In the Spring Festival Evening of the Year of the Sheep, Chris Lee, ambassador of cultural communication of Shu Embroidery, wrote a beautiful poem" Shu Embroidery ",which still reverberates today.
Sichuan opera culture
Sichuan opera is a major feature of Sichuan culture. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that "Shu Opera was the best in the world". The most famous Sichuan Opera is FACE/OFF. The stunt of changing face comes from the traditional drama "Guizhenglou", which shows that the righteous thief Bei Rong robbed the rich and helped the poor, and was chased by officers and men to change his face cleverly and get away. At first, the actor's face was covered with a paper mask. Later, he drew a picture on his face with toilet paper, stuck it on his face in turn, covered it with fireworks or folding fans on the spot, and peeled it off layer by layer.
"Face-changing" is well-known at home and abroad, and Andy Lau also made a special trip to Sichuan to learn face-changing.
Sichuan's cultural tradition 2 1, Mahjong culture: Sichuanese love playing Mahjong, which is famous all over the country. As a Sichuanese, it's a pity that I can't play mahjong! The happiest thing in life is to play mahjong for an afternoon without interference from the world. If you have a hook, Kubaotou will carry one or two hundred, and you will be flattered to buy your horse next to you!
2, tea culture: come to Sichuan to play, do not come here to drink tea, you will not feel the slow life here! Sichuanese love to drink tea, especially Baba tea. They drink tea with cousins or neighbors and friends, and have a whole cup of tea with landlords or playing long cards (we call it kao ker here). This is really good!
3, hot pot culture: this hot pot, not to mention Sichuanese love to eat, that is, foreigners come here to play or come to Sichuan to study and generally like to eat hot pot, which is really spicy and unhappy. Without hot pot, it is not Sichuan. As far as I know, several hot pot restaurants are really delicious, and there are many guests every day! Here, I would like to recommend Rong Sheng Little Swan Hotpot and Wuming Hotpot.
4. Shu embroidery culture: Shu embroidery is a specialty of Chengdu, Sichuan, also known as "Sichuan embroidery", and it is one of the four famous embroideries in China. This is a traditional China craft, in which patterns are embroidered on silk or other fabrics with silk thread. The themes of Shu embroidery are mostly flowers and birds, animals, landscapes, insects and fish, and people. Except for Su Dongpo's strange stones, Zheng Banqiao's bamboo stones, Chen Laolian's figures and other ancient famous paintings, they are all pastels, and the famous painters at that time were invited to design embroidery drafts, which were processed and recreated by embroidery craftsmen.
5. Sichuan Opera Culture: Sichuan Opera is a bright pearl in the treasure house of China Opera. It has a long history and has preserved many excellent traditional plays, rich music and exquisite performing arts. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that "Shu Opera was the best in the world".
6. Wine culture: When it comes to Sichuan famous wines, I believe everyone will think of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD, Yibin Wuliangye, Gu Feng and Langjiu. These wines often appear on the dinner table of the reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year!
