Since the beginning of the19th century, the fashion of "drinking morning tea" has become popular in the Pearl River Delta since the teahouse in Guangzhou rose from a humble teahouse. Teahouses are everywhere, which can be described as five steps to the first floor and ten steps to a pavilion. Even small villages and towns in the suburbs have no tea houses (buildings). After the reform and opening up, the teahouse industry in Guangzhou is more developed. Now, there are nearly 20,000 teahouses and restaurants in Guangzhou, which are all over the streets. No matter where you go, you can taste "three teas and two meals". From "drinking morning tea" to "drinking afternoon tea" to "drinking night tea" at night, the grade is getting higher and higher, and the food is getting more and more exquisite. People in various provinces who are eager for opening up and reform often take pleasure in living in Guangdong, so Guangdong teahouses have been built as far south as the ends of the earth and as far north as the grasslands in Inner Mongolia. Later, "Laoshe Teahouse" was deeply rooted in the ancient capital. Both Beijingers and Chengdu people who were skilled at making tea in bowls learned from Guangzhou people to "drink morning tea".
