In the old days, people smoked in a very particular way, even from today's perspective.

At least there is a smoking utensil, and when you smoke, you can use a long or short, shiny or old-fashioned mouthpiece.

It sways gracefully between the fingers and on the lips, like an old photo.

The status and identity of a smoker are also closely related to the various types of cigarette holders.

In the riddles made by the crowd at the end of the 50th chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, Baoyu's riddle is: "Heaven and earth are so distant, be careful during the Langgan Festival. Watch carefully for the sound of the phoenix and the crane, so that you can answer your sighs to the heavens."

The answer to the riddle is smoking with a pipe. This shows that the smoking habit had already been popular among the wealthy and powerful families in the past, and the production of smoking utensils and the smoking process were extremely sophisticated.

Jade cigarette holders come in both northern and southern styles, with Suzhou styles being the most common.

These different flavors of cleverly carved cigarette holders are lively and interesting, with clever carvings of colors and often leather colors.

They have many shapes, both realistic and spiritual, including lotus, figures and landscapes, auspicious birds and beasts, flowers, birds, insects, herbs and so on.

Among them, the huge ones are smooth, warm and can be more than a foot long; the small ones are exquisitely carved and less than an inch long.

Pick one of these dazzling jade cigarette holders, fill it with tobacco, take a deep breath leisurely, and exhale the green smoke.

After a while, the smoke was filled with thoughts, which was convenient, pleasing to the eyes, and entertaining both physically and mentally.
