In the era of material scarcity, information does not circulate, and living habits and customs in many areas are different. But there are still some proverbs and songs that are the same everywhere. But it is obvious that Guangdong people are sick and drink herbal tea, while the northeast people are sick and must eat canned peaches. The reason is the difference brought by the regional environment. Guangdong's unique climate environment makes Guangdong's herbal tea very famous throughout the country. After drinking a mouthful of herbal tea, the mouth is bitter, even the tongue is slightly bitter, but it will soon become sweet and the whole person will become refreshed. Herbal tea has become a drink in Guangdong, and it is a must for every family in Guangdong. Because Guangdong is located in the coast, the terrain is low and flat, and the water vapor is not easy to spread. Most of the high temperature and rainy season come at the same time. The hot and humid climate exceeds the upper limit of the human body's self-regulation, which will lead to damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, which is exactly what Guangdong people call getting angry.

In Guangdong, there is no disease that is not caused by excessive internal heat. Therefore, under the influence of this cultural environment, Cantonese people will think that they have damp heat when they are sick, so the first reaction is to drink herbal tea to reduce the fire. Ge Hong, a physician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, came to Guangdong and found that the climate here was hot and humid, so he developed herbal tea by using the unique herbs in Lingnan and years of medical experience.

The reason why people eat canned peaches in Northeast China is that the first reaction when they get sick is to eat canned peaches, which is the childhood memory of every child in Northeast China. In the northeast, canned yellow peaches can only be eaten under certain circumstances, that is, when you are sick. In the era of material scarcity, canned food has always been a kind of condolence. As long as someone is sick, be sure to bring a few bottles of canned yellow peaches when you visit, which can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, promote fluid production and quench thirst. Because of its sweet and sour taste, it is very popular with children. The children have a good appetite. Mental illness naturally recovered by half, so canned peaches became the most desirable thing for children in Northeast China when they were sick.
