Legends of Top Ten Famous Tea in China (I) Legends of Longjing Tea and Tiger Running Spring When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Lion Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou to watch rural women picking tea to show their feelings. On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several country girls picking tea at more than a dozen shady tea tables. He was very happy and learned to pick tea. Just picked one, suddenly the eunuch came to report: "The Queen Mother is ill, please return to Beijing as soon as possible." When Emperor Qianlong heard that the Empress Dowager was ill, he put a handful of tea leaves in a bag and returned to Beijing day and night. In fact, the Queen Mother was not seriously ill because she ate too many delicacies. At that time, she got angry, her eyes were red and swollen, and her stomach was upset. At this time, when I saw the arrival of the prince, I felt a faint fragrance and asked what good things I had brought. The emperor was also surprised. Where does the fragrance come from? He touched it casually. Ah, it turned out to be a handful of tea from Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou. After a few days, it was dry and the rich aroma came out. The queen mother wants to taste this tea. The maid-in-waiting made tea and sent it to the queen mother. Sure enough, the smell is fragrant. The queen mother took a sip and her eyes felt much more comfortable. After drinking tea, the redness disappeared and her stomach did not swell. The queen mother said happily, "Hangzhou Longjing tea is really a panacea." Emperor Qianlong was so happy to see the Empress Dowager, and immediately ordered the eighteen tea trees in front of Gong Hu Temple under Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou to be named imperial tea, and the new tea was picked every year to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. Up to now, these eighteen kinds of imperial teas are still preserved in front of Gong Hu Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou, and many tourists from Hangzhou come to visit and take photos as a souvenir. Longjing Tea (one of the top ten famous teas in China) and Hupaoquan are known as "Hangzhou Two Musts". How did Tiger Running Spring come from? It is said that there were two brothers long ago. My brother's name is Hu Dahe and Erhu. The two men are very powerful. They came to Hangzhou one year and wanted to settle in the small temple where tigers are now rampant. The monk told them that it was difficult to fetch water here, and it would take several hurdles to fetch water. The two brothers said that as long as they were alive, we would be responsible for carrying water, so the monk took them in. One summer, there was no rain, and the stream dried up, making it more difficult to fetch water. One day, the two brothers remembered the "Tongziquan" wandering in Hengshan Mountain, Nanyue. If only they could move Tongziquan to Hangzhou. The two brothers decided to go to Hengshan and move to Tongziquan. They running all the way, fainted at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. When the storm broke out and the wind stopped raining, they woke up and saw a child with a willow branch in front of them. This is the fairy who manages the boy spring. After listening to their story, the fairy pointed a willow branch at them and spilled water on them. In an instant, the two brothers turned into two colorful tigers, and the child jumped on the tiger's back. The tiger roared into the sky and went straight to Hangzhou with "Tongzichun". The old monk and the villagers had a dream at night, dreaming that the big tiger and the second tiger became two tigers and moved the "Tongziquan" to Hangzhou. At dawn, there is a spring. The next day, the sky was full of sunshine, and two tigers fell from the sky. Tigers were digging in the bamboo garden next to the temple and soon dug a deep pit. Suddenly, the storm raged, and after the rain stopped, they saw a clear spring gushing out of the deep pit. Everyone knows that it must be the spring water brought to them by the big tiger and the second tiger. To commemorate the Great Tiger and the Second Tiger, they named this spring "Tiger Planing Spring". Later, for the sake of fluency, it was called "Tiger Running Spring". Tiger running spring makes Longjing tea, which has good color, fragrance and taste. Today, you can taste this "double unique" drink in Tiger Run Tea Room. (II) The Legend of Huangshan Mao Feng Huangshan is located in the south of Anhui Province, which is a famous tourist attraction. The famous tea "Huangshan Mao Feng" produced in mountainous areas is of good quality. Speaking of this precious tea, there is an interesting legend! During the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Kaiyuan, the new county magistrate of yi county in the south of the Yangtze River, took a very young man to Huangshan for a spring outing. He got lost and met an old monk with a bamboo basket on his waist and spent the night in a temple. When the elders were making tea to entertain guests, the magistrate of a county looked at it carefully. It was yellowish brown, shaped like a sparrow's tongue, covered in white hair and brewed with boiling water. I saw that the hot air bypassed the edge of the bowl and reached the center of the bowl, about a foot high, and then turned into a Bai Lianhua in the air. The Bai Lianhua rose slowly, turned into a cloud, and finally dissipated into plumes of hot air, and the fragrance filled the whole room. When the magistrate asked, he realized that the name of this tea was Huangshan Mao Feng. When leaving, the old man gave this tea a bag of Huangshan spring water and a gourd, and told him that it would take this spring water to brew, so that the wonders of white lotus could appear. When Xiong Zhi returned to the county government, he met an old classmate and friend, Taiping magistrate of a county, to visit him, so he gave a performance in Mao Feng, Huangshan. Taiping county magistrate was very surprised. Later, he came to Beijing to report to the emperor and wanted to offer immortal tea as a reward. The emperor ordered a performance in the palace, but there was no sign of Bailian Sect. The emperor was furious, and the Taiping magistrate had to truthfully say that it was presented by Xiong Kaiyuan, the magistrate of Yixian County. The emperor immediately ordered Xiong Kaiyuan to enter the palace for trial. After Xiong Kaiyuan entered the palace, he knew that he had not brewed with Huangshan spring water, explained the reason and asked to go back to Huangshan for water. Xiong Zhifu came to Huangshan to see the elder, who gave him a mountain spring. In front of the emperor, Huangshan Mao Feng made another jade cup. Sure enough, the wonders of Bai Lianhua appeared. The emperor smiled and said to Xiong Zhijun, "I think you have made some achievements in providing tea and promoted you to the governor of Jiangnan." Take office in three days. " Xiong magistrate had mixed feelings and thought, "Huangshan famous tea is still of high quality, let alone being a man?" So, he took off his jade belt and came to Huang Shanyun Valley Temple to become a monk, whose legal name was Zheng Zhi. At present, there is a site of Master Bo 'an's tomb tower, which is said to be the tomb of Zheng Zhi monk, by the roadside under Yungu Temple where pine trees enter the clouds and bamboo forests are shaded. (3) Tieguanyin legend Anxi is a county near Xiamen in the southeast of Fujian Province. It is the main producing area of oolong tea in southern Fujian. It has a long history of growing tea, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. Anxi has abundant rainfall and mild climate, which is suitable for the growth of tea trees. Moreover, through the efforts of tea substitutes, a series of improved varieties of tea trees have been cultivated. At present, there are more than 60 improved varieties preserved in Anxi, among which Tieguanyin, Huang Dan, Benshan, Eriocheir sinensis, Dayeoolong and Meizhan are all well-known varieties in China. Therefore, Anxi is known as the "treasure house of improved varieties of tea trees". Among many excellent varieties of tea trees, Tieguanyin is the best and most famous one. Tieguanyin originated in Xiping Town, Anxi County, with a history of more than 200 years. There is still a story about the origin of Tieguanyin varieties in Anxi. According to legend, during the reign of Qing emperor Qianlong. Yin Wei, a tea farmer in Xiping Shangyao, Anxi County, made a good cup of tea. He made three cups of tea every morning and evening to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva for ten years, which shows his sincerity in worshipping Buddha. One night, Yin Wei dreamed that there was a tea tree with orchid fragrance on the cliff. When he tried to pick it up, a dog barked and woke up his good dream. The next day, I found a tea tree exactly like my dream on the cliff stone. So I picked some buds and took them home to make them carefully. After the tea is brewed, it tastes sweet and refreshing, which makes people feel refreshed. Wei thought this was the king of tea, so he dug this tea home to cultivate it. A few years later, tea trees flourished. Because this tea is as beautiful as Guanyin and as heavy as iron, it is also a dream of Guanyin, so it is called "Tieguanyin". Tieguanyin became famous all over the world. Tieguanyin is the best oolong tea, and its quality features are as follows: the tea strips are curved, round, thick and even, the color is sand green, and the overall shape is like dragonfly head, spiral body and frog leg. After brewing, the soup is yellow, moist and rich like amber, and has a natural and fragrant orchid fragrance. The taste is mellow and sweet, and the sweetness has a long history, commonly known as "rhyme". Tea has a long pitch, which can be described as "seven bubbles are more fragrant". (IV) The Legend of Dahongpao Dahongpao (one of the top ten famous teas in China) is a famous treasure in Wuyi Rock Tea (Oolong Tea) in Fujian Province. It is the best quality of Wuyi rock tea, produced in Wuyishan, southeast of Chong 'an, Fujian. There are many kinds of tea trees planted in Wuyishan, including Dahongpao, Lohan, Celosia cristata, water turtle and so on. In addition, there is a key table named after the tea growing environment. Drunken begonia, drunken Dong Bin, scarab, Pteris, etc. Named after the shape of a tea tree; Melon seeds named after the leaf shape of tea tree, such as gold, money, bamboo, gold wicker, willow, etc. The legend of the origin of Dahongpao is very good. It is said that a poor scholar in ancient times went to Beijing to catch the exam. Passing through Wuyi Mountain, he fell ill on the way. Fortunately, the old abbot of Tianxin Temple saw him and made him a bowl of tea. Sure enough, he recovered. Later, he won the top prize, won the top prize, and was recruited as Dong Chuang Xu. One spring day, the champion came to Wuyishan to give thanks. Accompanied by the old abbot, they swarmed around and arrived in Kowloon. But he saw three tall tea trees growing on the cliff, with lush foliage and clusters of buds shining purple in the sun. Very cute. The old abbot said that this kind of tea cured your abdominal distension last year. A long time ago, whenever tea trees germinated in spring, they would drum a group of monkeys, put on red clothes, climb the cliff to pick tea leaves, fry them and collect them, which could cure all diseases. The champion listened to the request and made a box of tributes to the emperor. The next day, the temple burned incense, lit candles, beat drums and rang bells, summoned monks and nuns and set off for Kowloon. Everyone came to the tea tree to burn incense and worship, shouting "tea buds!" " "Then pick the young leaves, make them carefully and put them in an iron box. After the champion brought tea to Beijing, the queen had a stomachache and abdominal distension in bed. The champion immediately offered tea for the queen to drink, and sure enough, the tea was gone. The emperor was overjoyed and gave the champion a Dahongpao, so that he could raise the prize in Wuyishan on his behalf. Along the way, the salute rang and the candles were brightly lit. Arriving at Jiulong Pavilion, the champion ordered a woodcutter to climb halfway up the mountain and put the Dahongpao given by the emperor on the tea tree to show his gratitude. Strange to say, as soon as Dahongpao was opened, the bud leaves of three tea trees flashed red in the sun, and everyone said it was Dahongpao's red. Later, people called these three kinds of tea trees "Dahongpao". Someone also carved the three characters "Dahongpao" on the stone wall. Since then, Dahongpao has become a tribute tea every year. (V) Legend of Silver Needle Junshan, Dongting Lake, Hunan produces famous tea with silver needles. It is said that the first seed of Junshan tea was planted in E Huang and Nv Ying more than 4000 years ago. Li Siyuan, the second emperor in the late Tang Dynasty, held a cup of tea for him when he first went to court. When boiling water was poured into the cup, he immediately saw a white mist rising and a white crane slowly appeared. The crane nodded to Mingzong three times, and then flew into the blue sky. Looking into the cup again, the tea leaves in the cup are all upright, just like a group of bamboo shoots that have broken through the ground. After a while, it sinks slowly, just like snowflakes falling. Mingzong felt very strange and asked the courtiers what the reason was. The courtier replied, "This is because Baihequan (that is, Liu Yijing) in Junshan is made of yellow feather (that is, silver needle tea). Mingzong was very happy and immediately decided to make Junshan silver needle into "tribute tea". When Junshan silver needle is brewed, the tea buds stand in the cup, which is very beautiful. (VI) Legend of Bai Hao Silver Needle Zhenghe County in northeast Fujian is rich in a famous tea, which is as white as silver and shaped like a needle. It is said that this kind of tea has the miraculous effect of improving eyesight and reducing fire, and can cure "fire disease". This kind of tea is called "Bai Hao Silver Needle" (one of the top ten famous teas). Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a long drought and no rain in Zhenghe area, and the plague spread everywhere. There are several Xiancao plants beside Longjing in Donggong Mountain, and the grass juice can cure all diseases. Many brave young people went to look for Cao Xian one after another, but they never came back. There is a family with three brothers and sisters, Zhi Gang, Zhi Cheng and Zhi Yu. The three men agreed to take turns to find Cao Xian. On this day, Big Brother came to the foot of Donggong Mountain. At this moment, an old man came out of the roadside and told him that Cao Xian was on the mountain next to Longjing. When going up the mountain, he can only go forward, but can't look back, otherwise he can't pick Cao Xian. Zhigang climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath, only to see the rocks full of horror, but suddenly he heard a shout, "Don't you dare rush up!" " ",just frightened, looking back, immediately turned into a new stone on this rocky mountain. Zhicheng went to Cao Xian. Climbed halfway up the mountain and turned back into a boulder. The task of finding Cao Xian finally fell to Ji-woo. After she set off, she met her white-haired grandfather on the road. And told her never to look back and gave her a baked rice cake. Zhiyu thanked her and walked on to Luanshigang. There are strange noises. She blocked her ears with rice cakes and never looked back. Finally, she climbed to the top of the mountain and came to Longjing, picking the young leaves on the Cao Xian and watering Cao Xian with well water. Plant seeds all over the hillside after returning home. This kind of fairy grass is tea tree, which is the origin of Baihao Yinzhen famous tea. (VII) Bai Mudan Legend Fuding County, Fujian Province is rich in Bai Mudan tea (one of the top ten famous teas). It is said that there was a satrap named Mao Yi in the Western Han Dynasty. Because he didn't like corrupt officials, he abandoned his official and lived in seclusion with his mother. When mother and son came to a green hill, they only felt a strange smell. After asking an old man, they learned that the smell came from eighteen Bai Mudan trees beside the lotus pond. Seeing that it was like a fairyland, the mother and son stayed. One day, my mother fell ill because of old age and fatigue. Mao Yi looked around for medicine. One day, Maui dreamed of a fairy with white hair and silver whiskers. The fairy told him, "To cure your mother's illness, you must use carp with fresh tea, and both are indispensable." Mao Yi thought it must be the guidance of the gods. At this time, it is the winter season. Mao Yi went to the pond to fish for ice carp, and where to pick new tea in winter? When we were in trouble, eighteen peonies turned into eighteen immortals tea, and the trees were covered with fresh green leaves. Mao Yi immediately picked it and dried it. White hairy tea leaves are like white peony flowers. Mao Yi immediately cooked carp with fresh tea for his mother to eat, and her mother got well as expected. Later, the famous tea produced in this area was called "Bai Mudan Tea". (8) The Legend of Jasmine Long ago, Chen Guqiu, a Beijing tea merchant, studied with a tea tasting master what kind of tea northerners like to drink. Chen Guqiu suddenly remembered that a southern girl gave him a packet of tea that he had never tasted, so he found it and let the master have a taste. When brewing, as soon as the bowl cover is opened, there is a strange smell. Then, in the rising heat wave, I saw a beautiful girl holding a bunch of jasmine in her hands, and soon it turned into a hot air. Chen Jiaqiu was puzzled and asked the master. The master said, "This tea is the best in tea". Chen Guqiu remembered the experience of buying tea and staying in an inn in the south three years ago and meeting an orphan girl. The girl complained that her father's body was parked at home and there was no money for the funeral. Chen Jiaqiu showed deep sympathy and gave her some money. Three years later, when he went to the south again this spring, the innkeeper handed him this packet of tea, saying that it was given by the girl three years ago. It wasn't brewed at that time, but it was a treasure. "Why is she holding Molly alone?" The two men brewed again, and the girl with jasmine in her hand appeared again. While sipping tea, Chen Gulai realized, "In my opinion, this is tea fairy's suggestion that jasmine can be used in tea." The following year, jasmine was added to tea, and there was a new jasmine tea (one of the top ten famous teas). (9) Biluochun (one of the top ten famous teas) Legend has it that a long time ago, there lived a girl named Robbie on the West Dongting Mountain and a young man named A Xiang on the East Dongting Mountain. They love each other deeply. One year, a fierce dragon appeared in Taihu Lake and threatened to take Robbie away. A Xiang is determined to fight the dragon to the death. One night, A Xiang picked up the harpoon and jumped into the West Dongting Mountain to fight the dragon. After seven days and seven nights of fighting, both sides were exhausted and A Xiang fainted in a pool of blood. In return for saving A Xiang's life, Miss Robbie took care of A Xiang herself. But Xiang's injury is getting worse every day. One day, the girl came to the place where A Xiang fought the dragon, and suddenly she saw a small tea tree growing well. She thought: This is the witness of A Xiang's struggle with the dragon, which should be well cultivated. Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, a small tea tree grew a green bud. Robbie picked a tender tip and went home to brew it for A Xiang. Strange to say, Xiang gets better every day after drinking this tea. A Xiang was saved and the big stone in the girl's heart fell to the ground. Just as the two were intoxicated with the happiness of love, Robbie's body could no longer support, and he fell into Xiang's arms and could no longer open his eyes. A Xiang was heartbroken and buried the girl beside the tea tree in Dongting Mountain. Since then, he has worked hard to cultivate tea trees and collect famous teas. "Forever beautiful tea is like a beautiful woman", in memory of Robbie girl. People named this precious tea "Biluochun". (X) Legend of Frozen Top Oolong Tea It is said that Taiwan Province Frozen Top Oolong Tea was planted and developed by a man named Lin Fengchi from Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province to Taiwan Province Province. Lin Fengchi's ancestral home is Fujian. One year, he heard that Fujian would hold an imperial examination and wanted to take it, but his family was poor and had no money. The villagers donated money in succession. When he left, the villagers said to him, "When you arrive in Fujian, you should say hello to the villagers of our ancestral home and say that the villagers in Taiwan Province Province miss them very much." Lin Fengchi passed the juren examination. A few years later, she decided to go back to Taiwan Province Province to visit her relatives. By the way, she brought 36 oolong tea seedlings back to Taiwan Province Province and planted them on the frozen top mountain in Lugu Township, Nantou. After careful cultivation and propagation, a tea garden was built, and the collected tea was fragrant and delicious. Later, Lin Fengchi was ordered to go to Beijing. He dedicated the tea to Daoguang, who praised it after drinking it. Because this kind of tea is collected from the Frozen Top Mountain in Taiwan Province Province, it is called Frozen Top Tea.
