The custom of drinking tea in Guangfu is one of the main manifestations of Cantonese culture, which refers to a series of life customs with morning tea drinking as the core that originated, developed and spread in Guangzhou and radiated to the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macao regions and overseas Canton cultural areas. With the emergence of the predecessors of modern tea houses" and "Erli halls" during the Qing Xianfeng Tongzhi period, the custom of drinking tea in Canton gradually became a common practice. People go to the tea house to drink tea, accompanied by dim sum, Feng Zemei dim sum fragrant cake, Jane is "one cup and two pieces". At present, the tea house industry in Guangzhou is very prosperous; Cantonese-style tea is very exquisite, with thousands of varieties; in addition, tea ceremonies and customs such as asking for tea and pouring tea are also formed.

The dragon boat is a traditional water folk custom associated with the Dragon Boat Festival. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the official and non-governmental Dragon Boat Race in Guangdong was already common. In 1994, the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government officially designated the Dragon Boat Festival as the Dragon Boat Festival. At present, the traditional folk dragon boat activities are mainly spread in Guangzhou Tianhe, Liwan, Haizhu, Panyu, Zengcheng, Huangpu and other places. The custom of picking dragon boats in Guangzhou (from April to May of the lunar calendar every year) mainly includes raising dragons, picking green, taking advantage of the scenery, fighting the biao, eating dragon boat meals, and sending dragons.

The production of wax-flavored cold fruits has attracted attention

Cantonese-style wax-flavor making technology and cold fruit making technology (Cantonese-style cold fruit making technology) were selected for this public list, and everyone is expected to return.

According to reports, the Cantonese-style bacon production process is quite strict: pork selection only uses hind leg meat and fatty meat, and the wine is made of pure rose dew wine, which strictly controls "filling (full), pouring evenly, and tying tightly." In addition, self-dried soy sauce and dark soy sauce are also used to make the wax taste really have the taste, flavor and aroma. The production of sausages can be subdivided into several processes such as meat cutting, enemas, drying, and finished products.

During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou has formed a cold jam business industry. Cantonese-style cold fruits can be made by soaking, cooking, fermenting and drying. After making the cold fruit, it generally maintains the whole fruit, and the surface is dry or salty. Its taste is sweet, or sweet and sour, or slightly salty, the flavor of the original fruit is still there, it can quench thirst, appetize and consume food, and has the effect of nutrition and health care.
