Tea couplets are often hung in tea shops to attract customers' advertisements. According to legend, there is a teahouse and restaurant in a place near Chengdu. The boss is uneducated, the shop is simple, and the business is naturally depressed. Later, I let Xian run it for my son. The young man was clever, so he invited a scholar to write a pair of couplets, and business was booming from then on. The joint article is "Busy in the name, busy for profit, take time to have a cup of tea; Work hard, have fun and pour a bowl of wine. "This strange couplet, vivid and appropriate, appeals to both refined and popular tastes, which has attracted people's word of mouth, admiration and mixed feelings.

According to legend, Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, once traveled abroad and took a nap in a temple. The old man in charge of the temple saw that he was dressed simply and looked ordinary, and he was very cold to him. By the way, he said "sit down"! He also said "tea" to Daotong. After Su Dongpo sat down to talk, the old man felt that the guests were very talented and of extraordinary birth. He led Dongpo into the wing, said politely, "Please sit down", and said to Daotong, "Here's to tea." After in-depth conversation, the old people knew that the visitor was a famous poet Su Dongpo. He immediately stood in awe, said "please sit down", let Dongpo into the living room, and ordered him to "offer fragrant tea". Su Dongpo took a break in the living room and wanted to bid farewell to the old road. Lao Dao asked Su Dongpo to write couplets as a souvenir. Dongpo responded:
Sit down, sit down, sit down;
Tea, tea, fragrant tea.
After reading the old road, I was flushed and ashamed.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, there was a Datong teahouse in Guangzhou. In order to attract customers and spend a lot of money to attract couplets, it is required that the upper and lower couplets must be embedded with the words "big" and "same" and have the meaning of tea. At that time, the applicant was sent to solicit contributions, and the shopkeeper selected a masterpiece:
Good things are not easy to do, big bags are not easy to sell, and small profits are only cut in the middle;
There are many people who drink tea with their children, but few people who drink tea with their fathers. The water in front of the eaves will never flow back.
The two words "Da" and "Tong" are cleverly embedded in the couplets, which mean to taste tea and talk about the tricks of doing business, so they have won the appreciation of the shopkeeper. So this couplet was carved out of fine wood and hung in front of the shop. It is said that after this couplet was hung, the business of Datong Teahouse was booming.
Legend has it that 100 years ago, there was a Zhongxing town in Huayang County, Sichuan Province, which was a land and water terminal and a traffic artery.

One year during the Spring Festival, the teahouse owner asked his scholar to write a couplet and stick it on the door of the shop. Lian Yue:
Fragrant flowers are exposed;
Water sucks the spring water in the stone.

Open the altar and get drunk;
Serve thyme.
According to legend, Tao Taoju, a famous teahouse in Guangzhou in Qing Dynasty, signed couplets with the word "Tao Tao", and one person applied to write couplets:
Tao Qian is good at drinking, elegant and good at cooking, and drinking and cooking are very moderate;
Tao Kan cherish points, Yu Xia cherish inches, measured.
Celebrities of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as Tao Qian and Tao Kan, joined the League, and the word "Tao Tao" was naturally appropriate.
Chongqing Jialingjiang Teahouse is even more ingenious:
Outside the building is Jialing, which is five hundred miles. Without a Taoist priest, you can't draw a stroke.
There are thousands of years of history in the chest, attracted by Lu Tong's seven bowls of tea.

There are some short stories about the tea party:
According to legend, Liang Qichao was brilliant and witty when he was young, especially good at dialogue, so he was called "prodigy" by local people. One day, a guest came, holding fragrant tea in his hand and sipping it slowly, intending to test Liang Qichao. He dipped his finger into the tea and wrote the first couplet on the table: "Drinking tea and delivering water to the dragon". Just after the last word was written, Xiao Qichao pointed to the words on the table without hesitation and opened his mouth to write the second couplet: "Write a dog harrowing the field." The people around you burst into laughter. The guest was embarrassed, but also helpless, because his handwriting was really difficult to get to the top. Although it is a joke, it is natural to look at things with childlike innocence.
There is also a pair of tea couplets in a teahouse in Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War. This joint article is:
Air raids are unpredictable, and guests pay for tea first.
Officials have ordered the suspension of national defense secrets.

A few decades ago, a "strange teahouse" appeared in Anlian Lake Park in Xi 'an, with a couplet on the door:
Strange? Not strange, not strange and strange!
Garden? It's a garden, it's a garden, not a garden!
The first words of the upper and lower couplets are embedded with the word "strange garden" respectively, which is not very interesting. However, at that time, people only knew that it was an interesting couplet, but they didn't understand its true meaning. It was not until the newspaper later revealed that the teahouse was originally a secret traffic station of the underground party that people understood the mystery of "not surprisingly, the garden is not a garden"
Shaoxing Zhu Yiling Tea Pavilion once hung such a couplet:
A handful of spring water can wash the cool and warm guests.
Liangtouling Road must warn pedestrians of the danger.
The words of the joint China measures are implicit and profound, which not only express the fragrance brought by Ganquan Jiaming to passers-by, but also tell the hardships and dangers of life journey.

Talking about national affairs.
In spring, new buds are collected in the mountains for guests to drink.
