ThedifferenceofGuangzhoumorningteaandBritishafternoontea摘要茶发源于中国，更以难以抵挡的魅力遍及全世界。茶的出现改变了人们的生活方式，久而久之便形成了一种地方特有的生活习惯。而这种习惯又反过来赋予茶一种新的意义和内涵，使茶不在单纯是一种饮品，更是一种精神，一种思想，一种文化。因此各国茶文化都有着独特的风格和内涵。中国与英国的茶文化则代表了东西方不同的思想观念。这与两国茶文化的历史渊源有很大的关系。本文将以中国的广州早茶与英式下午茶进行对比，论述这两种饮茶方式中的文化内涵文化价值观以及人文习俗，从这几方面比较得出两者的差异。关键词：早茶、下午茶、对比AbstractTeaoriginatesinChina，andit'spopularintheworld.Theappearanceofteahaschangedthewaypeoplelive.Astimepassedithasformedaspecificlocalcustom.Thishabit,inturn,givesteaanewmeaningandconnotation.Teaisnotapuredrink,butaspirit,athought,aculture.Therefore,theteacultureofallcountrieshasauniquestyleandconnotation.TheteaculturebetweenChinaandBritainrepresentsthedifferentideasbetweentheEastandtheWest.Thishasagreatrelationshipwiththehistoricaloriginofteaculturebetweenthetwocountries.ThisarticlewillcomparetoChineseGuangzhoumorningteaandBritainafternoontea,discusstheculturalconnotations,culturalvaluesandculturalcustomsofthetwokindsofteadrinking.Andmakeaconclusiononthedifferencesbetweenthetwokindsofteaculture.Keyword:morningtea;afternoontea;contrast1、OverviewofGuangzhoumorningteacultureGuangzhoumorningteanotonlydrinktea,butalsoeatdessert.Thisisregardedasawayofcommunication.AndYouneedtogototheteahousetodrinktea.Apotofthickteaandafewdesserts,gettogetherintwosandthrees.Youcantalkwhileyoueat.Notonlyfillthestomach,contactthefeelings,butalsoexchangetheinformation.Andmaybeyoucanfinishabusiness,It'sreallyapleasantthing.Becauseofthis,Guangzhoupeoplecalldrinkteaas"tantea"."Tan"isacommonsayinginGuangzhou,itmeansenjoying.ThisisalsoanimportantreasonwhytheteahouseindustryinGuangzhouhasgonethroughahundredyears.1.1、GuangzhoumorningteaculturehistorySpeakingofGuangzhoumorningtea,canbetracedbacktotheemperorXianFengintheQingDynasty.Atthattime,therewasarestaurantinGuangzhoucalled"amilerestaurant",andtherestaurantdoorhanginghave"teatalk"twowordsboard.Therestaurantservedteaanddesserts,poorfacilities,onlyafewwoodenbenchestorestforpassers-bytotalk.Thentherewasanindependentteahousecalled"Ju".Forexample,theoldfamousrestaurant“TaoTaoJu”.DuringtheperiodofGuangxu,"JU"waschangedto"building”.UptonowinGuangzhoumorningteatheteahasbecomeasupportingrole.Butthedessertismoreandmoredelicateanddiversified,whichhasbecomeamajorfeatureofGuangzhoupeople'sleisurelife.1.1.1、AboutteaTherearemanykindsofteainGuangzhoumorningtea.FerexampleBlacktea,chrysanthemumtea,Tieguanyin,Pu'erandsoon.TheelderlypreferYunnanPu'erTea.AndYoungpeopletendtodrinkoolongtea,itiswhatweoftensay,Tieguanyin.Noneedspecialattentiontoselectingtea,justfollowyourusualteahabit.1.1.2、AboutthedessertGuangzhoupeopledrinkteaisusuallyahotpotoftea,twoorthreesnacks,althoughthatistodrinkteabutsnacksistheprotagonist.ItissaidthattheGuangzhouteahashundredsofkindsofsnacks.Itisdividedintosixmaincategories:Steamedmeat,XiaolongSteamed,DalongSteamed，dessert,frying,Porridge.2、OverviewofBritainafternoonteacultureTraditionalafternoonteaisusuallysuppliedbetweenfourandsixp.m.Istechnicallyasmallmeal,notadrink.Itconsistsofaselectionofdaintysandwiches(thinlyslicedcucumbersandwicheswiththecrustscutoffareaclassic),freshlybakedsconesse...
