This is not surprising that Beijing is a city, but also the capital. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, leading city, Guomai the department, central, and so naturally Yamen more. Shanghai is the beach, while the stalls Kong's early big, a leading international city, the occasion will be corners of the country situation, the EU wind beautiful tidal waves hitting back, foreigners were also many more natural Matheson. Guangzhou is the city with business-oriented, Jia living one day without doing business, they survive a single day, the shop can be more than can be seen that more than Yehao Yamen, Matheson multi-Ye Hao, shop more than both mean Beijing, Shanghai Guangzhou City Shi Ran nature.
Chengdu is not the case, Chengdu is not the capital, do not need so many bureaucratic; not the Bund, but also do not need so many Matheson. Chengdu course, there are shops, but most were Fanpu, clothing shops, grocery stores, a rare kind of deep pockets Guangzhou, banks, businesses and pawn shops. Guangzhou, Chengdu, after all, because it is not like the "city" does not want to have done not so much in Guangzhou big business. Chengdu is the House, is a rich abundance of Tianfu, and "knowledge has not kept in purdah," deep in the mountains southwest of the motherland, only aggregation there is no dissipation, just enjoy no bustle. If we say that God mistreatment of Wuhan, Wuhan interested in arrangements for hardship (for details, "the Triple City" chapter), then he would love Chengdu people who wish to arrange Chengdu people enjoy life. Chengdu and Wuhan, as are all that are not Eastern nor Western non-South non-North City: according to crossed the Yangtze River, which in the North; to Qinling Mountains as the boundary, which ranks South; and Wuhan, at the same latitude, far away from Lhasa and Shanghai is almost . However, the natural conditions of the two places are even close. Wuhan is a very hot summer and cold winter, strange, and something bad while the North and South; Chengdu is no north wind blowing the winter and summer without sun exposure, and East and West of the priority with them. Its days are modest, and its land is moisture, and its properties are very rich, while the prices of these properties is very cheap. Feng shui living in this piece of treasure on the Chengdu people naturally do not need to so oversensitive, costs so much power to do so many things, as long as the stop-YO blazing Diminshing to live on the line.
So, how had it break, it relaxed? Of course, bubble tea.
Speaking, tea was originally Chinese people's love objects. East and West, the workers and peasants, soldiers, Business Studies, as long as Chinese people, very few non-Aihe Cha's. However, the most Aihe Cha, and also the number of Chengdu, at least he is so Chengdu people thought. Yes, there are green tea, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Yunnan, Guizhou, there perish tea, morning tea in Guangdong, the Northwest there is milk tea, Taiwanese have Oolong tea, Beijing's Taiwan Cha, but the Chengdu people are failing to appreciate: green tea too light, too thick perish tea, tea is tea generation of rice, Gongfu tea is tea, on behalf of the wine, morning tea is a tea for the supporting characters, and Taiwan Cha can only be called "cattle drink", only Chengdu's Gaiwan Cha before both taste, another faction. Flavored, because Chengdu tea, fragrant thick and durable, a bowl of tea 78 times the water is also no harm; has sent out, it was because it is the teacup, tea cover, boat three-piece tea and taste the "Gaiwan Cha" , but also in tea to drink inside. In the teahouse, drinking tea, and tea at home, quite different. Tea at home, who would not? Obviously, only fell in love with tea, really claim to be a love of tea.
Chengdu people love tea. Can be said that Chengdu people is to "love of tea-ism" or understood as the performance of "Love tea ism". Chengdu, more than a matter of fact, teahouses have mushroomed. According to "Chengdu to look through" contains, Qing Chengdu street meter 516, while the tea that is 454, almost every street has a teahouse. In 1935, Chengdu "new news" to newspaper reports, Chengdu, a total of 599 tea a day, many patrons of 12 million people to form a truly a "hundred thousand troops" at a time when the city's population was less than 60万. Is unlikely to remove the women and children into the tea, then the proportion of patrons it is undoubtedly a very alarming figure. Moreover, 120,000 people into the tea a day, down, drink too much tea, and the number of Our Time? There are so many teahouses and patrons, Chengdu, it should be called "Teahouse of the capital" we go.
In fact, even today, I am afraid teahouses in Chengdu, Sichuan is still the highest in China, the highest in the world. In Chengdu, there are restaurants downtown, Louxiang have tea stall, park cafes, universities have tea plantations, there are many tea houses. Old Lane, Old Street in particular, come to the stage 35-step, will be flashed to a tea house, and almost all packed, patrons filled shed, business is good, too afraid to believe. What it therefore I have no more than two reasons: First, patrons were already members of the public in more than two patrons were drinking tea is a time and a particularly long, a bubble is the Lao Bantian. 1 to 2 to go, a teahouse where a natural overcrowded. No wonder some people do not no exaggeration to say that, Chengdu People's Congress about half live in the teahouse inside the. As for the other half, then mostly into the hot pot restaurants. It appears that Beijing's city gates, as is the interpretation of Beijing's "one door of the gate," Interpretation of Chengdu, Chengdu teahouse is also a key.
Tea is actually created by patrons.
Chengdu's patrons, not only the large number of rated first in the world and, as the fans in Chengdu are eligible from that (nearly the same time has also been recognized as) the best fans in China, Chengdu, patrons are also eligible to themselves as Chinese first-rate patrons. Yes, Chinese people Aihe Cha, there are tea houses in Chengdu, is also by no means confined to one place. However, it seems that only in Chengdu who was so fond of tea, tea, such as life was so addicted to. For them, "much rice and firewood Youyanjiangcu tea" It's short response was to pour up and recite. Authentic old Chengdu, often Tianyi Mama Liang, we owe the name of A out of the door, red open-shrouded morning mist, heading straight for the tea steaming hive of activity. Only there, they will really wake up from a dream; it was only in there, the first sip tea and a small mouth rinse rinse mouth, then swallow the hot fragrance of the tea to go will feel soul-stirring, feel fresh and cool all over Body Tongtai truly come alive.
Some people may say, this is nothing. Guangzhou and Yangzhou, the same people who love to eat morning tea. Yangzhou is authentic and Chengdu, like everyone else, at dawn on the morning tea pain went straight to tea. However, no matter how Guangzhou, Yangzhou not matter who is to eat morning tea went so far as to eat so many snacks, which not quite sure whether they are to eat morning tea or breakfast. Besides, Guangzhou people's morning tea, actually, or eat in the hotel restaurant; while only the morning of Yangzhou, "bags of water" (bubble tea), one afternoon they were changed to "water foreskin" (Bath Church), and which, as we Chengdu people, from morning till night, have a soft spot for tea, only proven loyalty.
Perhaps, precisely because is so Chengdu people love their teahouses, ancient, traditional sense of the teahouse, they are not to become extinct in China. Is not? Lao She's novels as a symbol of old Beijing teahouse, now long disappeared, and Beijing's "tea culture" has become a "Taiwan Cha culture." Shanghai's teahouse, is said to have left the old town god's temple pavilion a penalty for embellishment, but also do not know how the proposed projects. Now of course, there are some parts of the new so-called "Hong Chafang" or "tea house", but most decorated luxury facilities, elegant, bedecked in jewelry and highly luxurious, and usually there are several so-called "Miss", where the so-called performing unsolicited "Tea" or "tea" and accept the price staggering "tea money." As for the kind of old teahouse atmosphere and taste, of course, has not the slightest. To put it plainly, they are, but only "Mongolia" foreigner tourist attractions only, and is likely still "inferior products."
Chengdu, however, very different. Chengdu now, although there are high-end luxury, designed for the wealthy are ostentatious and extravagant new tea, but also retained a lot of simple primitive, exclusively for citizens of an old teahouse leisure. These old teahouse, or paved streets, or roadway in the humble homes, or sur-arbor, or an open space among the trees, 35 square table, 10 the number of the bamboo chair, along with the tiger stove, large iron pot (or large copper pot), Gai Wancha tools, ordinary people have become a party paradise.
Environment where such a simple, rustic, what benefits? Just as Lin Wen-consultation "Chengdu" and a book put it: "Environmental casual, site simple, and from person also random." Belief systems, will gather together, do not speak grades Needless to etiquette, then we are at ease: or tea Chat, chaotic pendulum at a stretch; or read books and newspapers, turn a blind eye meditatively, without disturbing each other, their proper place. If you can casually say, the water can be though Tim, melon seeds Montreal Luantu skin may want to BS-ing on the cursed his "son of a bitch", would be mischievously delightful!
In fact, this is precisely the old teahouse in Chengdu have gained popular support lies. Originally Well, drink tea, but not Shangchao, why be so serious about it, salute them as a ritual? Patrons into the teahouse, which was originally in order to relax, leisure and recreation, are the so-called "sneak in a bowl of tea, go to; stuffy in the fun, take only the smoke coming." You get some welcome female dress Shuttle, service Gong Li looked after, depriving the patrons were dazzled, helpless, mouth fear mistakes, and my heart afraid Ai Zai, where can relax, What kind of recreation? The old teahouse in Chengdu, The good thing can be said that a "casual" word, so beloved by the people of Chengdu. Even if a fortune, when the "big-spender" also there are still many people that love into the simple, inexpensive, and inconspicuous little teahouse.
Have such enjoyment, and is very casual, this tea house, who does not like?
But, this is not the teahouse in Chengdu people love into all the reasons. I always thought that the reason people love into the teahouse in Chengdu, mainly also because of where they can put on a large its "Longmen Zhen." Chengdu and the Peking Man, China is probably the favorite words of the two groups. Some people say that, as long as Ganhuo wandering wind, and speak choke people, endorsed by Ben children should not fight, one to sit down and talk to God Hu-lun, hai whistle, the one accurate is the Beijinger. For those who both love to eat love to say and refused to delay eating, eat not to delay that said go where where where to eat, then most of Chengdu people. Anyway, regardless of Peking Man Ye Hao, Chengdu not matter who are unable to live one day without talking to the "words of crates." Interestingly, they all Aihe Cha, and the fondness for tea. This is not surprising. Because bragging chat, absolutely unavoidable tea. No tea, to put it parched interesting would be greatly reduced, or even chat not go. With the tea, is an altogether different. Sheng Jin Cha both thirst, but also brain refreshing, a tea Xia Du, the mind is also Emmanuel, and his tongue is also handy, and it had lots to talk about, then on, the more endless.
Therefore, Beijing and Chengdu teahouses in China, is the most famous.
Paradoxically, however, is that the decline in Beijing teahouse finally (this way, many people who love the old Beijing culture and bitter but helpless to do so), while the Chengdu teahouse is a long time to flourish (this way, many people who love the old culture of theft in Chengdu Hi glad but nervous to do so), this again is why? I would like to, perhaps because of Peking Man, and Chengdu, who has had love that, but what to say and how to say, not quite the same bar! And how different? To sum up, largely Beijingers Kan, Chengdu people pendulum, Beijingers brag, Chengdu, said gossip.
Kan, there are three means: upright, and the harmony, the teasing. The so-called "talking about the" there is upright, and the meaning of Yue; The so-called "dig", there are teasing meaning. These three means, in the Peking Man so-called "Kanda Shan" in there, that is, justifiably, unhurried and funny humor. In fact, only those learning and ability, eloquent but humorous playful will be eligible as "Kanye"; only houses built with high collar, but fun endless jokes one after another will be eligible is called "Kan mountains." In fact, this is precisely the nature of Beijing city Shiran. Beijing is the capital, is the capital, a Beijing resident, also is almost half of the politicians. Politicians Well, a vision should be high, looking down from above; second, Ayutthaya deep, Shen is maintained gas; third, eloquent, eloquence. Condescending, they justifiably; Shen gas is maintained, then a leisurely; eloquent, naturally humorous. There is such a momentum, conservation and level, of course, Hill also "McCain" get down, so "Kanda Shan," known as "cut down the mountain." It can be said that Foolish Old Man, by the hoe; Kanye Yi-Shan, must rely on the tongue.
Obviously, cutting the mountains Ye Hao, Kanda Shan Ye Hao thing is a "big" word, that is to say "lying." "Words" how "big"? Of course, we must first "topic" big, and the largest topic of another than the political. In fact, the Peking Man so-called "Kanda Shan", it mostly centers around the politics conducted in attitude but most of some ridicule fills such as "one billion people, 900 million McCain, there are 100 million in development" sort of "scripts" It would be most able to embody the "Kanda Shan" feature.
In this case, of course, is not necessarily in that we can not get tea to go.
In fact, the Beijing teahouse's gradually disappear, and Beijing to speak to more and more children are not unrelated. You think, now, in Beijing the number of societies, associations, Sharon? The number of reports, lectures, seminars? Most of these associations are Beijingers dubbed the "McCain Association" naturally are "Kanda Shan" in a good place. A little luck, chances are also to China Central Television, "Straight Talk", or any other studio programming, to become a guest or be able to plug the mouth of an audience, and that much more enjoyable than the teahouse, but also than in the teahouses more pointing Jiangshan, Jiyangwenzi. Moreover, these places, occasions, generally are provided with tea, or be able to bring their own tea, but Beijingers for tea quality and tea in a manner not so much stress, not necessarily to "three-piece" or "fresh boiling water, "naturally does not necessarily in the teahouse is not. Moreover, and teahouses all over the country part of everyday, how can I guarantee that we will run into "can McCain" person.
What's more, Nengkan Shin Kan Kan Beijingers prefer, there is a skill all the places have become, or as a tea to. Such as "taxi" drivers tea, is his car. Tea Well, he himself carried a; Block, children, and certainly not a problem; but never put the passengers up and down between is his audience and patrons, but do not supply tea only. "The Iron Camp flow of soldiers," the little tea house where he was, always worry about there is no "mountain" may "cut", where And need to a teahouse?
TV Qu Bude, taxi Lane said no. "Chengdu people" Lin Wen-author of the book have been comparing the consultation in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and three of the "taxi" drivers, the conclusion is very interesting: Beijing's drivers and passengers prefer to speak of the drivers like Chengdu, and speak for themselves, The driver in Guangzhou almost did not speak.
Guangzhou, 20% of drivers do not speak why I think it might have the following reasons: one, Guangzhou, people already reticent, there is no Beijingers mouth so poor, Chengdu people mouth then oil; 2, Guangzhou, people say that Mandarin is difficult, while the passengers outsiders and great, the exchange of inconvenience, also interested in dull; 3, Guangzhou traffic congestion, drivers need to concentrate on driving, he has learned to comply with traffic regulations, driving without a habit to speak. But I think the most important, but also in Guangzhou is the city, is a commercial international city. Living in this city who are already accustomed to in accordance with contract principles to deal with interpersonal relationships, well aware that to work hard to do a good job in order to survive a very good reason. Contract driver and passenger are safe and quickly reach the destination, rather than the chat days. Moreover, the gossip at work is a violation of labor discipline, and not in line with professionalism. That being the case, saying that doing so many words?
Beijing's taxi drivers may not have these ideas. He is not willing to own and customer relations simply as the employment relationship, but unwilling to passengers when the goods are shipped. If the ride had not said a word, how much there is no "human touch"? So he would rather the car as a tea to the passengers as Cha You, and "Yao Li tuck with a card, see who is with who." Moreover, people in Beijing are "half a politician." Politicians Mody, nature will not give up "ideological and political work," or "political expression" the opportunities. Even talk about politics, saying that something else is required. Car and no mouth, a mouth is idle idle, casually say something, good or ill children we can break up the monotony.
Shanghai's taxi drivers generally lies between the two: the passengers do not want to talk, he also remained silent; passengers would like to say something, he also fluent (but generally not talk about politics). Shanghai is a city with tradition of service excellence, with the dialogue requested by passengers about the service is seen as one of the additional content, as customers bought something different to be on behalf of bundled packages. The question is whether the request of passengers. If not, Shanghai's drivers generally do not Mohuazhaohua, Talking.
What's intriguing is the taxi driver in Chengdu. Taxi driver in Chengdu, Guangzhou, as the driver is unwilling to do as an employer of passengers or goods, nor want to, like Beijing, as the passengers as the driver patrons or buddies, but he Biebu Zhu to speak, so the passengers could not take the initiative talk to each other. Then he opened the door and his brothers are poor and chat a masters Shi Mei Mei Wan, or the Line of Duty Shimei listening brothers were "open air Tea House," "contradictory case", is equal to themselves and speak for themselves. And passengers who are willing to chat, very small. This is not surprising. "Prime Minister in front of seven product officer," Well the driver of Sichuan, who wait on you a few rare "playing" in the main?
To say also, driving, after all, is work, not leisure; a taxi, after all, is a tool, not tea. Only tea before, such as Jia Pingwa said, is a "realm of ecstasy" ( "Sichuan small mind"). Chengdu tea house, even the most low-end kind, but also have a bit fresh (and I suspect that has come from a few bamboo chair bamboo tea and water). Sit there and teahouses, and holding a cup of tea, listening to all sides talk, mouthful fragrance, Maner voiceless, there is no Tanxing would also like to say something.
In short, only the tea house is the people's forum in Chengdu. Only there, Love said, people would say Chengdu themselves, and be able to fully demonstrate his "eloquence" and "Long Menzhen" pendulum was a magnificent, colorful.
