History of tea culture in Lincang

People of all ethnic groups in Lincang have created splendid tea culture in the long historical years, which is a wonderful flower in China tea culture. The following is the development history of Lincang tea culture that I carefully arranged for you. Let's have a look.

The Development History of Lincang Tea Culture and the Rise and Fall of the Central Plains Empire

? Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? In China, tea comes last. But it is this thin tea that has affected a major historical process.

Tea and its tea culture originated in China, Shennong, Duke Zhou of Lu, Tang and Song dynasties, handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Through trade, religious and cultural exchanges, this small leaf carrying Chinese civilization not only conquered all the nations in the world, but also contributed to the birth of the United States, the rise of the British Empire and the decline of the Qing Empire.

It can be said that Tea Road is the way to spread China culture. Tea has become the symbol of China, the tea empire?

Tea is a national drink, born between famous mountains and beautiful waters, with the essence of heaven and earth. Confucianism uses it to keep honesty, Taoists use it to seek peace, and Buddhism uses it to help Zen. The cultural connotation of tea has gone beyond its own material level. Generally speaking, the center of tea culture has always been in the south, not only because the origin of tea is in the south, but also because the economically and culturally developed areas in China have moved from the Yellow River basin to the Yangtze River basin since the May 4th Movement?

China tea was born and flourished in the south.

Lu Yu said in the Book of Tea:? Tea is used for drinking and originated from Shennong. ? The legendary Yandi Shennong is the discoverer of tea, and he is also the inventor of the legendary medicine for treating diseases.

In order to identify the pharmacological effects of herbs, Shennong once tasted herbs himself. Once when he was resting in the field, he used a kettle to boil water. It happened that some leaves fell in and turned the water in the kettle yellow-green. Shennong did not care, drank a little soup, but was surprised to find that the yellow-green water tasted fragrant, and it was actually a valuable medicinal material. Over time, Shennong came to the conclusion that this plant can quench thirst, promote fluid production, refresh the mind, and induce diuresis and detoxification.

As for it? Tea? The origin of the name is also related to Shennong. The legendary Shennong has a glass-transparent belly, but everything he eats in it can be seen clearly, so he can know the advantages and disadvantages of this food, which is why he has been poisoned many times. After drinking the yellow-green water, he saw the water flowing in his stomach and scrubbed it clean wherever he went. So he called this plant? Shit? And then it was transformed into? Tea? Pronunciation.

Bashu original records

When the merchants in Zhou Wuwang were wiped out, small southern tribes such as Bashu who participated in the war presented tea as a tribute to Zhou Wuwang. In the "Huayang National Records" written by Chang Qu in the Jin Dynasty, it is recorded:? Zhou Wuwang conquered Zhou, and he really got the teacher of Bashu. Tea honey? Everyone salutes it. ? The time of King Wu's attack was around 1066 BC, which shows that tea activities in China have been clearly recorded for at least 3000 years.

In the literature that can be seen now, there is an exact record of tea, and the earliest and most reliable one should be Tongyue written by Wang Bao in Han Dynasty. This article was written in the third year of Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty (59 BC) and is an important document in the history of tea science. One of them? Do you have all the tea? 、? Wuyang buys tea? , explain? Tea? At that time, it had become a part of social diet and was a valuable thing to entertain guests. Drinking tea has become popular among the middle class.

Drinking tea is very popular in the south.

When did drinking tea become popular in China? Everyone has a different opinion. But generally speaking, it can be said that it began in the Han Dynasty and prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, when drinking tea, Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" rolled down "Drinking Six Teas". Tea drinking originated in Shennong and was heard by Duke Zhou of Lu, Qi Yanying, Han, Wu, Liu Kun, Zhang Zai, Yuan Zunan, Xie An and Jin Zuosi. ? But many of them are not historical facts. It is a historical fact, and it is not easy to understand without appearances. Tea Classics: Shennong's Food Classics? Tea has been served for a long time, powerful and pleasing to the eye? (Liu Yuanchang's History of Tea, Volume 1). Lu Yu's Tea Classic holds that drinking tea originated from Shennong's family, but the Book of Food Classic is a fake book, which is well known and not credible. And "erya"? Bitter tea? In other words, the world regards Er Ya as the work of the Duke of Zhou, but mistakenly thinks that tea drinking began in the Duke of Zhou, but they don't know that Er Ya was not written by the Duke of Zhou. There is not enough evidence to start drinking tea.

"Yanzi Spring and Autumn Period? What do you mean by "essays"? Yan Ziyong wears ten liters of cloth, eats millet, five eggs and moss. I thought drinking tea (that is, tea) began in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, Yan Zi Chun Qiu was not written by Qi Yanying, so it is difficult to be established. And Wan Weiting's "Collection of Records and Certificates of Learning Difficulties" series includes Yakumo:? (Huai Publishing House) This edition of Yan Zi Chun Qiu? "Miscellaneous Internal Articles" is based on three or five basic lichens, and 867 volumes of "Magnolia" are cited as tea. Although recorded as tea, it is not drinkable tea. Therefore, drinking tea is invisible in the classics. Is the world a poem? Who is bitter for tea? As proof of drinking tea, I wonder if this tea is bitter? Bitter tea? Tea cannot be crowned with pride. There seems to be no wind of drinking tea during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so "Zhou Li?" Celestial officer? "Family slaughter first" said that the pulp man gave Wang six drinks, one for water, the other for pulp, the third for treatment, the fourth for cooling, the fifth for medicine and the sixth for unitary. I haven't seen tea ... Since the Han Dynasty, I have heard about drinking tea from time to time. In the Three Kingdoms, Wu Wei drank seven liters of wine for each minister, but only two liters, or reduced or replaced the wine with tea ("Three Kingdoms? Takeshi? Wei Yaochuan), tea, I'm afraid it's already used to entertain guests. Why else would there be tea at the banquet? Jin Zhanghua tasted it? Drinking real tea can make people sleep less? (Zhang Hua's "Natural History") is also the wind of drinking tea in the Jin Dynasty, so tea has a long history. Song Peihan's "The Story of Tea" says: Tea originated in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and flourished today (Song Dynasty). ? ""The Story of Galand in Luoyang "is the period when the Guide started drinking tea in Tian Jian, Liang Wudi. The so-called wind of drinking tea began in Han and Wei Dynasties, but it was not popular in Han and Wei Dynasties. Because of the southern and northern dynasties, this fashion was only popular in the southern dynasties, and it was not unusual in the northern dynasties. What about the Han and Wei Dynasties? Here are two anecdotes from Miscellanies of Tea History:

When Xiao, the king of Qi, first entered Wei, he did not eat mutton crisp paste, but often ate fresh fish soup and longed for tea juice. When he saw Xiao drinking a bucket of water, the number was missed. Later, he and Gaozu ate mutton and cheese porridge. Gaozu asked him that in Japan, sheep were the ancestors of land animals and fish were the leaders of aquatic animals, all of which were called treasures. Only tea is wrong. He is a slave to cheese. Gaozu laughed: Because tea is called the slave of cheese, one day King Peng dug it up and said to Xiao, "Your mother will take care of me to set you a tea (that is, fish) and a slave of cheese tomorrow." ?

When Zheng De surrendered, Yuan Yi wanted to make a name for himself. First, he asked how deep he was in the water. Zheng De doesn't know what he means. One day: Xiaguan was born in a water town. Since he became independent, he hasn't suffered from Yang Hou, and all the guests laughed.

Before, Wei Jing, a scholar of the Northern Dynasties, saw Xiao drinking tea, calling it strange and famous. From the latter point of view, if Youyangte wants to prepare tea for Xiao Zhengde, it is rare and strange, and it is not a household item, which at least proves that this is not an ordinary thing. Otherwise, it is not something used by Xianbei people in the Northern Dynasties. At this time, drinking tea may be confined to a certain place and is not popular among the people. So it can only be called the beginning of drinking tea. The popularity of drinking tea began in the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty began to like drinking tea. Dongpo's poem says:? Zhou Shi remembers bitter tea. Tea drinks come from this world. ? It is based on today's tea. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has become commonplace for ordinary people to drink several bowls of wine every day.

What is the development status of Lincang tea culture? I only know that drinking can intoxicate people, and famous tea is better than drunkenness. The Lancang River cooks fragrant teas, and the owner is warm for three points; I was drunk before I finished a glass of wine, and he was drunk for three years. ? This is a poem written by the poet Li Yao in Fengqing, a tea town. He vividly described the taste of drinking tea. People of all ethnic groups in Lincang have created splendid tea culture in the long historical years, which is a wonderful flower in China tea culture.

The theoretical knowledge about tea, the summary of tea planting and processing experience, tea policies and regulations, tea customs and habits, religion, literature, art, tea art, music and dance, product packaging and other aspects are vast and beautiful. For example, in terms of tea drinking customs and drinking, Han and Yi people have small clay pot baked tea, baiyao tea, bamboo tube thunder tea and cold sour tea buds; Wa people have fresh leaf tea, charcoal tea, raw boiled tea, salty tea and tea gum tea; Dai people have glutinous rice fragrant tea and bamboo tea; Bulang people have green bamboo tea, sour tea, paste rice tea and bamboo tube honey tea; Lahu people have roast tea, charcoal tea, engagement tea and sworn tea. Hui, De 'ang and Miao also have different tea drinking customs. In addition, all ethnic groups have orally created folk songs, poems, couplets, proverbs and a large number of folk stories and legends reflecting tea. Tea also permeates music and dance, such as talking about tea, singing tea, dancing tea, tea ceremony, tea art and so on. Let a hundred flowers blossom. In the 1990s, Yunxian participated in the International West Lake Tea Party twice, bringing tea ceremony and tea performance, which received rave reviews. The song "The Hometown of Dianhong" written by Feng Qing was sung by the famous singer David Jiang, and "Super Honey Steamed Green" was sung by the singer Guan Mucun. Golden songs and dishes are produced all over the world.

Te amo, a tea song of Cangyuan Washan Art Troupe, has performed in Beijing, Paris and Singapore. Lincang Song and Dance Troupe performed a large-scale square song and dance "Song of Tea" at Lincang Tea Expo in China in 2006, which was well received by the guests. The Song and Dance Troupe of Lancangjiang Tea Co., Ltd. has arranged a series of tea songs and special Amo programs, and toured all parts of the province for charity performances, making friends with songs and expressing love with dances. Lincang has also set up a tea culture garden, which concentrates the tea culture of all ethnic groups in one furnace to display and publicize the tea industry and play a window role. Linxiang, Shuangjiang and other places have built statues of Shennong tea ancestors for people to sacrifice and remember Shennong tea ancestors and pray for harmony and well-being. Books and CDs reflecting tea culture have been published one after another, such as Lincang Original Tea in China and Lincang Tea Culture in China.

Tea manufacturers publish books, anthologies, picture albums and folding pages to widely publicize tea products. Commodity packaging boxes and bags are varied and beautifully designed and printed, which reflects the development and progress of tea packaging culture. Ancient tea gardens and ancient tea tree museums have also appeared, showing Lincang's tea culture from another level. City and county governments and enterprises have also established tea websites by using information technology to let the world know about Lincang.
