Teahouses(茶馆) in Chengdu

There is a saying， “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.” Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.

As soon as the visitors come into the teahouses， the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.

People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes， people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired.

Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. People can tell the stories and enjoy Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel(争吵)， a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is worked out， the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers come into the teahouse and sit down to drink tea， they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator， their problems can be easily worked out then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions(功能).
