A Suzhou tea house which spread Chinese tea culture
Teahouse appeared in the Chinese latter-day society commonly. And the teahouses in lower valley of Yangtes River are notable for their unique social significance.
Orientated from Qing Dynasty (1855 AD), “San wan chang”has a long history in tea industry. Because of the problem of high age, the founder –Mr. ShengYao Ming sold the teahouse to his neighbor Mr. Miu Cheng Fu. “San wan chang” means lots of prosperity and to be prosperous forever. The teahouse used to situate on the right of Xuan Miao Guan Daoism temple. It had three chambers and the backdoor leaded to Da Chen Xiang alley. Furnishing hundreds of tea tables and a stage, it served as a bar and people enjoyed tea, talking and story-telling here. As a result, whenever people think about drinking tea, “San wan chang” will come into their mind.
Teahouse was an entertainment place; it also played an important part in business talking and information collecting and served as a place where scholars exchanged ideas of social science there. At that time, the “San wan chang” enjoyed the most glorious reputation and influence in the city of SuZhou.; it had the name “information center in the cities between Shanghai and Naming.”, “the heart of Sushi economy”. Before liberation, price went up like a skyrocket, everything was in disorder, “San wan chang” slipped out of people’s mind, but after liberation, the family Shao transferred the teahouse to the government, and it did a lot in standardizing the market.
Later, to spread the Chinese culture, the government rebuilt Guan Ian Street --- “the first street in Sushi, and reenroll the lots of the bands with a long history. With the help of the government, the tea lovers and the board chairman of the teahouse invested greatly and brought “San wan chang” to its former splendor.
