一杯凉茶，一片情怀

陈德贤

沙溪凉茶，老牌茶饮，消暑散热、生津止渴两相宜。

It is extensively acknowledged that herbal tea is a must for many Cantonese （广东人）. Nowadays， there are many kinds of herbal tea circulating in the market. Shaxi Herbal Tea is one of them， which is mainly used for treating flu.

The inventor of Shaxi Hebal Tea， Huang Hui， was born in Tayuan Village， Shaxi Town. In his childhood， he was extremely fond of collecting a variety of herbal medicines. Meanwhile， he devoted himself to treating the poor. Due to his considerate behavior， he received a large amount of praise from villagers. In 1885， Huang Hui concluded and arranged a prescription for the treatment of a cold. From then on， the first generation of Shaxi Herbal Tea was born. Nevertheless， it wasnt familiar to many Chinese people until the Peoples Republic of China was set up.

With its popularity gradually developing， in order to meet huge needs， Shaxi Herbal Tea Factory came into being in 1978. And since then， Shaxi Herbal Tea has begun to get its popularity around the world. In recent years， COVID⁃19 has continuously attacked humans. During this tough time， Shaxi Herbal Tea seems to play an essential role. Although it cannot be used for treating COVID⁃19 patients directly， it is able to strengthen our immunity. As a consequence， it will assist us to better fight against the virus.

In my view， as a local snack in Shaxi， Shaxi Herbal Tea is not only a medicine， but also an exclusive carrier of memory to Shaxi residents. It always brings us warmth.
