Cantonese people especially like to drink morning tea, which is related to the "one-stop trade" policy promulgated by Emperor Qianlong. According to this imperial edict, foreign trade is prohibited in other places except Guangzhou. As a result, Guangzhou became the largest logistics transfer station at that time. Many goods are transshipped here, which has promoted the economic development of Guangzhou.

The most obvious thing is that the tea leaves left behind have become something that ordinary people can afford to drink. During the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi, a restaurant called "Yili Restaurant" became popular in Guangzhou. The infrastructure of this restaurant is relatively simple, and only some tea and cakes are provided for pedestrians and passers-by to stop and chat and exchange some current affairs topics. Very popular. This is the embryonic form of teahouse in modern society.

With the improvement of people's living standards and the diversification of needs, simple restaurants can no longer meet people's living purposes. As a result, more and more teahouses have sprung up, and people have changed from stopping to chat in the past to going to teahouses for family gatherings, old friends gatherings and classmates gatherings on weekends. Morning tea, which not only avoids the trouble of staggering drinks, but also has a variety of delicious food, has unconsciously become an important place for Guangzhou people to communicate. Morning tea is also rich in content. Besides the common porridge, there are also water chestnut cakes, glutinous rice chicken, boat porridge, Cantonese sausage and rice rolls with Guangzhou characteristics. If you love food, you must not miss going to Guangzhou. All kinds of delicious food will definitely make you linger.

Generally speaking, Cantonese morning tea is a unique local culture. In fact, no matter what kind of living habits and national customs, we should uphold the attitude of respect and tolerance. After all, we are a pluralistic country.
