Why do northern Guangxi like camellia oleifera and Cantonese like herbal tea?
Because "herbal tea" refers to a decoction composed of drugs with cold and coolness, it has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and reducing fire, and is used to treat the syndrome of excessive poison and deficient heat (hot air and internal heat)

Guangdong lies in the south. According to the five elements theory of Chinese medicine, the south belongs to heat, which is similar to the warmth and inflammation of "fire", so the south belongs to fire. As far as climatic conditions are concerned, Guangdong is located in the subtropical zone and belongs to the coastal area. The climate is warm and humid, and the most common diseases are wet temperature and damp heat. In terms of eating habits, Cantonese people like to eat spicy, fat, sweet and strong flavors, as well as seafood, delicacies and game. Cooking methods include frying, frying, frying, stewing and baking. Cooking materials are mostly spicy and hot products such as ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, salt, lobster sauce, pepper and star anise, so the incidence of dry heat and wet stagnation is more common. Therefore, the habit of drinking herbal tea in Guangdong is very common.
