Photographer: Guo Jihua, China
Prize: Honorable Mention
Entry Description:
An old fashioned Chuandou room, dark walls everywhere exposing the mottled bamboo fence, when the sun shone from the narrow courtyard, sprinkled on the tiger stove gray, with 300 square meters of the faint dark hall child more years of vicissitudes. By chance, I walked into the town of Sichuan Peng Yin Gelao teahouse. This is a century old and still retains the original old tea, its unique architectural style, unique cultural environment, reproduce the unique historical culture of sichuan. The old tea house retains the style of the "Cultural Revolution" because of its almost stubborn insistence. It is simple but distinctive. The teahouse is the most representative decoration is "three head": tureen, copper kettles and stoves, and some bamboo chairs, a small square table quietly placed on the ground, waiting for the arrival of people. When the day is dark, the old man will go dark. The habit of a few decades makes them wake up early. Every morning at 4:30, the teahouse will open on time, after some cleaning, table and other preparations, will continue to have people coming. The day is still dark when it has arrived at the teahouse patrons, most are the elderly. Most of the old man to go to bed early, early in the morning, can go to the teahouse, a cup of tea, a cigarette on the pit, and then suck on a few mouthfuls, after a long time, but there was no movement, looking carefully, the old man is on the chair again asleep in the past. The teahouse boss have a special feeling for the old things, because it is almost fanatical dedication, the teahouse decoration not only dozens of hundreds of years has not changed, the waiter is wearing the clothing, such as a few decades ago general pattern. Whenever people Huhe when add tea, the waiter always use approximate response "to singing loudly," fine tune slightly throughout the teahouse, very nice voice. On the facade of the teahouse, there is a huge portrait of Chairman Mao, surrounded by a large red letter written in Chairman Mao's quotations, and a glittering Red Star under the eaves, as if telling the story of that age. Here every corner, there is a history of precipitation, waiting for people to savor. The teahouse does not have the hustle and bustle of the modern city, nor the fickleness of the people. It is a more prosaic lifestyle, day after day, year after year, repeated every day. Quaint old tea houses carry a thick Western Sichuan culture, which makes people feel mellow and strong.......
