Putuo focha

Famous tea. Produced in Putuo Mountain, Zhoushan Islands. This mountain is one of the four Buddhist holy places in China, with many temples and strong incense, so it is called "Buddhist country". Since ancient times, the mountains around the temple have been turned into tea gardens, which are planted and harvested by monks for worshipping Buddha and entertaining guests. Its shape is round and non-round, and it looks like a tadpole, so it is also called "phoenix tea". The finished tea is green in color, slightly brighter in soup color, rich in aroma and refreshing in taste.

Allusion: According to legend, in the 12th year of Tang Dynasty, Hui 'e, a Japanese monk, came to China to study, and when she visited Wutai Mountain, she got a Guanyin statue. He was going to return home by boat from Mingzhou, and when he was approaching Silla Reef in the east of Putuo Mountain, hundreds of iron lotus flowers suddenly appeared on the sea, blocking the boat's way. Despite many efforts, Tielianhua resisted the ship and could not travel. Knowing that Guanyin refused to leave China, monk Hui Calyx said, "If all living beings in our country can't see the Buddha, we should build a fine house in our direction." Hui 'e then got on the boat, left a statue of Guanyin here and built a temple. Later, it was called "Putuo" because "Hua Yan Jing" had the auspicious voice of Putuo Luojia's visit. Since then, Putuo Mountain has become a Dojo dedicated to Guanyin, commonly known as "South China Sea". There are many temples on the mountain, including Fosaiji, Fayu Temple, Changsheng Temple, Pantuo Temple and Lingshi Temple. The land on the mountain belongs to the temple, and the tea is collected by monks. Law? What's the point? Hey? Shit? Is the amine too dilute? nbsp

Putuo Buddha tea is one of the traditional specialties of Zhoushan. It imitates the shape of "Biluochun" in Jiangsu, with compact shape, thin and curly shape, spiral shape, green and moist color, bright yellow-green soup color, mellow and light taste, refreshing, especially after drinking it for the second time, the tea is rich, sweet and delicious, which means that "the skin should be slightly sweaty when it is invaded, and the hair and bones will be cool in June".

Putuo Buddha tea has a long history, which was recorded as early as the Ming Dynasty. After careful cultivation by local monks and residents, it is famous for its unique flavor. According to historical records, Putuo Buddha tea not only has the function of clearing the heart and refreshing, but also can cure diseases. "The Records of Mount Putuo" said: Buddha tea collected before the rain can cure lung abscess and bloody dysentery if it is drunk with local spring water.

The god bird sent strange seeds.

Among the many tea varieties in Wuyishan, there is a tea tree with short shrubs and narrow leaves. It grows on the roadside, in front of the cliff and on the top of the mountain. It is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and can grow everywhere, with lush foliage. This is the "strange" tea of Wuyi Mountain.

According to legend, Wuyi Mountain was a part of Wang Yang in ancient times. I don't know when the sea receded, leaving many strange peaks and rocks. A few years later, the desolate beach became a fertile oasis. People came from far away to settle in this oasis, open up fertile fields and grow tea and fruits. After several generations' efforts, the six animals in Wuyishan village are thriving, every household has a bumper harvest, and the villagers live a rich life.

I don't know why. One early autumn, there was a drop of rain in the sky for dozens of days. All the springs in Wuyishan have dried up, the trees have withered, the fertile fields have cracked, and the crops that have just been hit hang their heads and have no vitality. The villagers cry for heaven and land, and queue up in the temple every day to pray for God and Buddha, and pray for God's blessing to bring them timely rain. But you shouldn't call every day, and hitting the ground is invalid! The crops have never been harvested, so everyone has to dig roots and peel bark to satisfy their hunger. The strong young people are wasting away day by day, while the old people and children are riddled with diseases. How to get through this day!

One day, everyone went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and grass roots. Digging and digging, suddenly a breeze blew and everyone felt very comfortable. Looking up, I saw a white cloud floating from a distance, floating overhead for a while, and then floating back. Everyone was surprised. The old man said that it might be a fairy who patrolled the mountain road.

A few days later, the villagers went up the mountain to dig roots and peel bark as usual. Everyone dug and dug desperately, and suddenly they saw a big bird falling from the sky, shining with golden light and landing silently on a big tree. Everyone watched curiously. With a loud cry, the big bird spit out a shiny green bead from its mouth, and the green bead immediately got into the soil. The big bird stood on the tree and said, "I am a god bird." I stole this tea seed from Yudixian Tea Garden at the will of Guanyin to save the suffering of all beings. " This tea seed takes root into a tree, blossoms and bears seeds, and the wind blows all over the mountain. The mountains are full of tea trees, which are not afraid of cold, drought and waterlogging, and can satisfy hunger and cure diseases. "Say that finish, the bird spread its wings and flew away. The sky suddenly thundered and thundered, and suddenly it began to rain. The villagers knelt on the ground in unison, bathed in the long-awaited rain, and kept kowtowing, so they were grateful.

It was calm after the storm. The green beads spat out by the divine birds sprout, smoke leaves, blossom and seed, and the breeze sweeps tea seeds all over Wuyishan and full of green, full of vitality. Everyone picks tea and cooks soup, which is refreshing and promotes digestion. After eating for several days in a row, my stomach will never feel bloated again! The illness of all ages is getting better every day. This incident quickly spread to every village and township in Wuyishan, and people went up the mountain to collect tea to satisfy their hunger. They no longer have to find wild vegetables, dig roots and peel bark to eat. Some people still plant tea trees in front of and behind their houses, just like eating vegetables. If they want to eat, they will pick. After a long time, everyone gave this tea tree a name, called "vegetable tea". Because this kind of tea tree can grow everywhere, it is very drought-tolerant and can survive in cracks. Some people say that it is the seed of a bird in the sky, and people call it "strange species".

A wonder in tea-Tieguanyin

Oolong tea is a semi-fermented tea, which is one of the three largest teas in the world. Fujian is the birthplace and main producing area of oolong tea. There are mainly southern Fujian producing areas dominated by Anxi and northern Fujian producing areas dominated by Wuyishan and Jian 'ou. According to the different origins and tea trees, Fujian oolong tea can be divided into six categories: Wuyi Rock Tea, Northern Fujian Narcissus, Anxi Tieguanyin, oolong tea, colored bell and bergamot. Wuyi Rock Tea and Anxi Tieguanyin are the most famous, and they are known as "two pearls".

The formation of the excellent quality of oolong tea mainly depends on the unique natural environment, excellent and abundant clonal tea varieties and skillful harvesting techniques.

Anxi is surrounded by green peaks, flowing springs, misty clouds, mild climate and evergreen seasons. Since ancient times, it has been known as "Longfeng District" and "Southern Fujian Tea Capital". Many excellent varieties of oolong tea trees have been bred by nature, and tea farmers have been cultivating hard for a long time, constantly exploring and summarizing the unique semi-fermented tea production technology, which finally makes Anxi oolong tea stand out among all kinds of tea in China. Its quality characteristics are distinct and unique, the aroma is like the natural fragrance of Lansigui, the taste is mellow and sweet, the shape is spiral and curly, compact, the color is dark brown, the sand is green and oily, the tea soup is clear and bright, the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant after drinking, and the aftertaste is sweet. After many times of brewing, I saw that the stretched tea leaves were green red, the tea stems were bright green and the aftertaste was good, so it was known as "green leaves with red edges and seven fragrant bubbles".

The ingenious combination of "heaven, earth and people" makes oolong tea not only have the key functions of refreshing the brain, relieving fatigue, promoting fluid production and diuresis, relieving fever and heatstroke, sterilizing and diminishing inflammation, detoxicating and preventing diseases, resolving food troubles, losing weight and keeping fit, but also have the health care functions of preventing cancer, reducing blood fat and resisting aging according to the research and clinical trials of relevant experts at home and abroad.

As a natural healthy drink, Anxi oolong tea is being recognized and drunk by more and more people. In China, its sales range has developed from Minnan and Chaoshan in Guangdong to all parts of the country; Abroad, from Southeast Asia, Japan and other regions to Europe and the United States and other parts of the world. With the improvement of people's living standards, there is a growing demand for natural tea drinks, and Anxi Oolong Tea will make more and more contributions to improving human health and promoting cultural exchanges.

Legend of You Mei

According to legend, Anxi (now Nanyan Village, Xiping Town) was a scholar of Yaoyang Nanyan, Wang Shirang, a deputy tribute in the tenth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1732) and a judge in qi zhou, Huangzhou, Huguang (now Hubei) in the tenth year of Qianlong (1745). He once built a study at the foot of Nanshan and named it "Nanxuan".

In the spring of the first year of Qing Qianlong (1736), Wang He and his friends often wrote in Nanxuan. Every time the sun sets, they hang around Nanxuan. One day, I saw a tea tree different from other species in the ancient wasteland, so I planted it in the garden of Nanxuan, managed it day and night, carefully cultivated it, and propagated it year after year, with lush foliage and red hearts. The finished product is moist, fat and delicious, with extraordinary smell; After soaking, the fragrance is mellow and refreshing.

After six years of Qianlong's reign, Wang was called to Beijing, met with assistant minister Fang Li, and presented him with tea. Fang tasted its unusual taste, so he turned to the palace. After drinking it, Emperor Qianlong was very happy. He summoned a scholar and asked about the history of Yaoyang tea. His tea is moist and firm, heavy as iron, delicious as Guanyin, and named Tieguanyin.

A scholar who drinks dew wins the first prize.

Wuyi rock tea has the functions of refreshing, relieving summer heat, promoting digestion and stopping dysentery. Many stories about this have long been told to readers. Here I also want to tell you a legend about a scholar who won the first prize of Wuyi Tea.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a poor scholar went to Beijing to catch an exam and fell ill on the way when he passed Wuyi Mountain. Seeing this, the old abbot of Yongle Temple immediately called two monks to carry him back to the temple. Seeing that the scholar was pale, emaciated and bloated, the old abbot grabbed a handful of tea leaves from an exquisite small tin can, scalded them in a bowl with boiling water, and sent them to the scholar and said, "Drink it, and you will be fine."

The scholar saw the tea slowly spread out in the bowl, revealing the red edge of the green leaves, and dyed the water yellow with red, bright as amber, crystal clear and fragrant, with a clear osmanthus fragrance seeping into the heart and lungs. He took a few sips and found the tea astringent and sweet, and then the saliva flowed out of his mouth. The aroma was ileum, his stomach rumbled, his abdominal distension gradually subsided and he was refreshed. The scholar rested in the temple for a few days, and his body gradually recovered as usual. On that day, the scholar found the old abbot and said goodbye to him: "I have been saved by the old mage for several days." If I succeed in this subject, I will definitely come back here to thank you, repair the temple and rebuild the golden body! "

Soon, the scholar really won the first prize and won the first prize of the new subject. Seeing his outstanding personality and brilliant talent, the emperor immediately recruited the top scholar in the new department as Dong Chuang Xu. Supposedly, the scholar won the first prize and became a son-in-law. This should be a spring breeze and a beaming face. However, although this champion Lang is accompanied by a beautiful princess day and night, he is still preoccupied and unhappy.

One day early in the morning, the emperor saw that Xu was frowning and depressed, and asked him why he was unhappy. The champion lang told the emperor about the trouble of rushing for the exam and the kindness of the old abbot. Seeing that he was going to Wuyishan to thank him, the emperor asked him to be an imperial envoy to inspect.

On a warm spring day, champion Lang and his party left Beijing. Champion Lang rode a tough horse, crowding round with his entourage, and was busy receiving officials of all sizes along the way. The old abbot of Wuyishan Tianxin received the report from Kuaima, and quickly called the monks and nuns in the temple, burned incense and lit candles, and arranged the courtyard, waiting for the imperial envoy to come in person.

Go, go, go, go, go, go. The old abbot has led the monks to welcome guests in front of the temple. When Lang Guanjun saw the old abbot, he immediately dismounted and bowed to him and said, "Old Master Q, long time no see. Today, the official came to thank you for your kindness! "

Surprised and delighted, the old abbot quickly folded his hands and saluted: "Amitabha, it's a trivial matter to kill the old woman on the official day of the champion." Never mind. " And respectfully welcome the champion Lang into the temple. After a brief greeting, Champion Lang asked about the treatment in those years and said that he would go to see the life-saving tea tree in person.

The old abbot nodded and led the champion Lang from Tianxin Rock to the south, across Xiangbi Rock to the foot of the mountain, and then to the west into a deep canyon. I saw nine rock peaks, such as nine dragons, winding between ravines and cliffs. Clouds linger in the valley, streams gurgle, the breeze blows gently, and layers of tea trees bloom in the canyon.

Champion Lang was intoxicated by the natural scenery and was full of interest. Suddenly he saw a small stone on the steep cliff, with three big tea trees more than ten feet high, with winding trunks and moss; Thick green leaves are mixed with clusters of buds; The sun shines through the dense fog, reflecting purple leaves, which are full of shining dew. How lovely. There is also a mountain peak on the cliff, and the faint wind and mist slowly blow the tea tree from the gap. What a natural coincidence!

When the old abbot saw the champion Lang, he exclaimed, "This place is called Jiulong Branch. This kind of tea tree is called Dahongpao. At that time, the champion got swollen from eating cold food, so the poor monk took this dahongpao to the champion. "

Champion lang is more interested. He browsed the west side of the sun in Jiulong Pavilion, a "tea country", and then returned to the temple. He also heard the story of Qin Po and these three Dahongpao from the old abbot.

The old abbot spoke vividly, and the champion Lang listened with relish. Hearing this story, the champion was surprised. He said to the old abbot, "This magical tea can cure all diseases. Why don't you ask the old mage to forge a box and take it to Beijing for the emperor? "

The old abbot promised again and again. It's just the spring tea mining season. The next day, the old abbot happily and ceremoniously put on 42 pieces of red cassock, lit incense sticks, rang drums and bells, summoned monks of all sizes in the temple, and put on different numbers of red, yellow and Chu cassock according to their grades. The waiter carried a tea tray with six bowls of vegetarian dishes and rice, such as mushrooms, fungus, day lilies, bamboo shoots and tofu, led by the old abbot, followed by the first monk, warden, picket, prison, Fu Temple, Zhike,,, and others, some holding incense burners and sandalwood, some holding plates, some holding dust, and others. The old abbot burned incense and lit candles, and the monks sang cymbals and crossed their hands to read incense. Then the old abbot took the lead, three steps left and three steps right, and worshipped the tea tree; In the incense, the monks shouted in unison: "Tea bud! Tea bud! " I started picking tea.

When the old abbot finished picking tea leaves, he returned to the temple and invited the best tea maker. He used the best tea set to carefully make tea leaves and put them in a special small iron box. The champion Lang carefully wrapped them with silk handkerchief and hid them in his arms. After that, the champion Lang sent someone to rebuild the Tianxin Temple, carved a golden bodhisattva and returned to his hometown in Beijing.

When the champion Lang arrived at the palace, he saw people coming and going in the palace. When I asked, I realized that the queen was ill, with a stomachache and bedridden all day. She invited a famous doctor in Beijing and exhausted all the panacea, but it was useless. The emperor and eunuch were on pins and needles, and the capital shook. Seeing this, the champion Lang presented the Dahongpao brought from Wuyishan to the emperor and said, "I brought back a box of Dahongpao from Wuyishan, which can cure all diseases. Please ask the queen to take it, and you will definitely recover. "

The emperor took the tea and said solemnly, "If this tea can really work and make the queen recover, I will definitely go to Kowloon to give a seal and enjoy the tea!" "

Strangely, shortly after the queen drank the Dahongpao tea brewed by the emperor himself, she was really heartbroken. The pain did not rise but fell, and the county recovered quickly.

Later, the emperor fulfilled his promise and personally went to the Jiulong Pavilion in Wuyishan to hold a grand ceremony of conferring "Dahongpao".

From then on, Dahongpao became famous and became the "king of tea", and became famous all over the world together with the clear water of Danshan Mountain in Wuyishan.

The Legend of "Tea and Moon"

A long time ago, on a full moon and autumn night, a wandering poet came to a secluded small village, and the hospitable villagers greeted him with the best dining tables. The old people tasted all kinds of cakes while drinking tea. The young woman is holding a starving child, and several five-or six-year-old children are squatting beside her, playing games attentively. A cool breeze blows gently, bringing bursts of chrysanthemums and flowers. The poet can't help feeling sad when he thinks of his distant relatives. At this time, the kind grandmother brought fresh and delicious fruit crisp, and the poet took a bite and felt natural and fresh. He picked up the cup and wanted to drink tea. Occasionally there is a reflection of the full moon in the cup. The poet feels that the full moon is hanging in the sky, and he is enjoying a crisp and sweet cake with such lovely and kind villagers. Isn't that kind of intimacy the moral of reunion? The poet had a brainwave and borrowed the moon to express his feelings. Since then, these fruit cakes have a very poetic name-moon cakes, symbolizing reunion and happiness! Later, in order to commemorate the poet, every family made these moon cakes with soft and waxy skins wrapped in fresh fruits or sweet and delicious fillings on this day every year. Facing the full moon, eating moon cakes, tasting fragrant tea and enjoying reunion and happiness. Later generations called this day Mid-Autumn Festival.

The legend of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs and the discovery of tea

Shennong, Emperor Yan, one of the ancient Huang San, is said to have lived in the Shennong era more than 2700 BC. In order to treat people, Shennong often goes to deep forests to collect herbs. Not only did he have to walk a lot, but he also personally tried the collected herbs to understand and identify their functions. One day, Shennong took a bite of poisonous weeds while collecting herbs, and suddenly became thirsty and dizzy. He quickly found a big tree, sat down, closed his eyes and rested. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and several fragrant green leaves fell on the tree. Shennong picked two leaves and chewed them in his mouth. Unexpectedly, a fragrance came to his face, and he suddenly felt the saliva flowing from the bottom of his tongue, which refreshed him and swept away the discomfort just now. He felt very strange, so he picked up a few more leaves and observed them carefully. He found that the leaf shape, veins and edges of this kind of leaves are different from those of ordinary trees. Shennong collected some and took them back to study them carefully. Later, it was named "tea". There are many legends about Shennong. Shennong is a typical representative of ancient ancestors in China. The discovery and invention in the legend of Shennong is the concentrated expression of the labor wisdom of the broad masses of the people at that time. In Shennong era, primitive animal husbandry and agriculture gradually developed, and the detoxification function of tea has been recognized in daily collection work.

Legend of the Origin of West Lake Longjing Tea

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a desolate village in Longjing Mountain. There is an old woman in the village who lives in a shabby hut and cooks tea by picking the tender leaves of eighteen tea trees planted in the back of the house, so that people who pick tea in the mountains can drink it at their doorstep. One day, an old man with a white beard came to the village. When he was drinking tea at the door, he saw a broken stone mortar abandoned in her corner. He recognized this as my price treasure and wanted to buy it. The mother-in-law said, "The old mortar is useless. Move if you like. " The old man couldn't move the big stone mortar by himself, so he went down the mountain to find someone to move it. He didn't want the kindness of the old lady to rise again. When he saw that he wanted a stone mortar, he cleaned it and buried the rotten soil under eighteen tea trees behind the house. When the old man came back with the servant, he saw that the stone mortar had been washed. He was so scared that he sighed and went down the mountain. It turns out that the stone mortar is not a treasure, but the rotten soil accumulated in it is priceless. The eighteen tea trees behind the old woman's house are lush with rotten soil; Tea made from the buds of these trees has a special fragrance, which is the highest in tea. These trees are the ancestors of Longjing Tea. Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, and watched the country girls pick tea to show their affection. 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. Two people are very manpower. One year, they came to Hangzhou 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.
