Famous Chinese custom first appearing with opening of Western Concessions in Canton and approved by successive Chinese Governments since for education of Round Eyes. Broken only by an interlude in which the Society of the Harmonious Fists cleared Tea Ceremong Solicitors from areas popular with tourists, the Chinese term for the tea ceremony best translates into English as the idiomatic expression: "Con Job".
