(1) Eighteen Royal Tea Trees Among the mountains beside the beautiful West Lake in Hangzhou, there is a Lion Peak Mountain with verdant forests, patches of green tea gardens, winding nine brooks and eighteen streams, gurgling water, shrouded in clouds and mists, deep soil layers, mild climate and unique advantages. The ecological environment breeds the world-renowned "four wonders", the best tea - West Lake Shifeng Longjing tea.In front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain, there are "Eighteen Royal Tea Trees" surrounded by railings. Under the careful cultivation of local tea farmers, they grow strong and leafy, attracting many tourists every year.

Speaking of these eighteen imperial tea trees, there is a beautiful legend.According to legend, in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the five grains were plentiful, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful. Emperor Qianlong did not like to sit in the palace, but preferred to travel around the world.Once, he came to Hangzhou. After enjoying the scenery of the West Lake, he wanted to see his favorite tea.Qianlong told the eunuch that the local officials and the old monks of Hugong Temple were too busy, because according to the arrangement, Qianlong had to rest and drink tea in the temple.

On the second day, Qianlong led a large and small entourage to tour Shifeng Mountain. Along the way, the towering lion peak, the clear Longjing spring water, and the green tea gardens, the village girls carried tea baskets on their shoulders, shuttled between the gardens and were busy picking tea. Birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere, Qianlong was deeply intoxicated by the natural scenery, wandering in the mountains for a long time, and came to Hugong Temple at the urging of the eunuch.The old monk respectfully offered the best tea. Qianlong looked at the cup of tea, the tea was green in color, the buds were upright, lifelike, and it was really beautiful. Then he asked the monk: "What is the name of this tea?

How to plant it? "The monk said: "This is the treasure of West Lake Longjing tea - Shifeng Longjing. It is made from young buds picked from the tea garden on Shifeng Mountain. Then he accompanied Qianlong to watch the tea picking and processing. Qianlong was moved by the labor and skill of Longjing tea picking and processing. " After Qianlong watched the picking and processing, when he returned to the temple, he saw more than a dozen tea trees in front of the temple, with buds sprouting all over and their tongues just unfolding.When he was very interested, a eunuch suddenly came to report: "The empress dowager is ill, please return to Beijing immediately." Qianlong was anxious when he heard that, he put the tea buds he picked into his sleeve pocket, and hurried back to the capital up.After returning to the palace in a few days, seeing the queen mother sitting by the bed, she hurried forward to pay her respects.The Empress Dowager was not seriously ill at first, but after eating too much delicacies from mountains and seas, her anger rose and her eyes were red and swollen. Seeing the emperor's return to court, she was very happy, and her illness had subsided a bit, so she remembered the emperor's situation outside, and while talking, the Empress Dowager smelled it There seemed to be bursts of fragrance rushing towards him, so he asked Qianlong: "What good thing did the emperor bring from Hangzhou? Such a fragrance!" Qianlong thought to himself, I hurried back, but I forgot to bring some gifts to honor my mother, and then smelled it carefully. There was indeed a fragrance emanating from it. He touched it with his hand and remembered that it was a handful of tea leaves picked by Shifeng. After a few days, it had dried up.While taking out the tea leaves, he replied: "Mother, this is the Longjing tea from Shifeng Mountain picked by myself."

"Oh, this tea is so fragrant! My mouth has been tasteless these days, let me taste it!" Qianlong hurriedly asked the maid to make a cup. The Empress Dowager took the scented tea and drank it slowly. It was strange to say that the Empress Dowager felt very comfortable after drinking the tea soup. In fact, this tea was of good quality, fragrant and delicious, and relieved greasy food; When I came to see the emperor, I was in a good mood, and the tea was picked by the emperor himself, so after drinking it for a few days, my anger calmed down, my jealousy disappeared, and my stomach felt better. The empress dowager told the emperor happily: "Son, This is fairy tea, it’s really like a panacea, and it can cure my mother’s illness!" Qianlong laughed loudly after hearing this, and hurriedly passed down the decree, sealing the tea tree in front of Hugong Temple as an imperial tea tree, and assigning special personnel to take care of it every year. Collected and sent to Beijing at the age of one year, it is exclusively for the Queen Mother to enjoy.Because there are only 18 tea trees in front of Hugong Temple, it has been called "Eighteen Royal Tea Trees" ever since.

(Zhuang Xuelan) (2) Controversy over tea and ink customs As the saying goes, "Wine strengthens the hero's courage, and tea attracts the bachelor's literature."Since ancient times, tea has had an indissoluble bond with literati and refined scholars.For example, the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties in ancient times, the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou" in the Qing Dynasty, and Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Han Suyin in modern times, etc., are not only good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, but also good at drinking and fighting tea.They pay attention to the art of tea appreciation and the taste of drinking, and they are worthy of being experts in tea tasting.In the past dynasties, there are too many tea poems, tea poems, tea songs, tea poems, tea paintings, tea operas, tea books, etc. to describe the feeling of drinking and tea fighting, and describe the scenery with tea. These works are still read today. With profound meaning and profound meaning, popular among the people, many famous and excellent works are treasures in the cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation.

Why is the relationship between tea and ink so deep?This is related to the strong attraction of tea itself.First of all, tea has a strong sightseeing value. From the scenery of tea mountains to tea picking and tea making, everything is fascinating. Tea leaves and tea sets have high appreciation value, especially ancient and modern famous teas. Lianhe, and these places are also the places where literati and inkmen stop. "A poet is not a tea man" and other famous sentences are all praising the scenery of the tea area. Secondly, drinking tea itself is full of life fun and is a special artistic enjoyment in life. Chinese and English", "Faith in Spirituality", "Quanfang is the most".

"When you are bored, Shi Ding cooks tea, which is nothing but joy, and locks up your mind." "Good tea is always like a beautiful woman." They are as strong as the palace of Xiangfu", "Snowy nights are clear and sweet, and the well springs rise, and you can cook and fry with your own tea stove. There is no need to care about anything, and it is worth living in the world for a hundred years." "Several Desires" and Lu Tong's "Tea Drinking Song" both describe the life art and true interest of drinking tea, and these wonderful sentences are meaningful to read. The self-satisfied taste of life is indeed very tempting and eager to try; third, tea has many health benefits. For those who play "ink", tea has the effects of refreshing, refreshing, eliminating fatigue, and benefiting thinking. It is even more attractive. The so-called "tea benefits the thinking of scholars, and tea attracts scholars' literature", so many poets become addicted to tea, and even reach the point where "it is difficult to write without tea".I remember a writer once said:

"A pen and a pot of tea are two of my best friends. Even in times of war, they never leave me." This shows the seriousness of the tea addiction and the deep love for tea! During the Tang and Song dynasties, the style of writing flourished, and literati and scholars took pride in admiring tea. They were not only fond of drinking, but also participated in tea picking and tea making, so the trend of fighting tea rose. Fan Zhongyan’s "Song of Fighting Tea" said: "Beiyuan will Dedicated to the emperor, the heroes under the forest will first compete with beauty." And this kind of "tea war" joy has indeed attracted many literati.People gather together to fight tea and drink tea, and they pay attention to bringing their own tea sets and tea water, so as to better display the excellent quality of famous tea.According to legend, one day, Sima Guang invited more than ten people to have a tea fight together.Everyone brought the best tea leaves and the most precious tea sets from their collection to the meeting. First, they saw the tea samples, then smelled the tea fragrance, and finally tasted the tea.According to the social fashion at that time, the quality of white tea was considered to be the best among teas. The teas of Sima Guang and Su Dongpo were all white teas, and the results of the evaluation were among the best. White tea prevailed.Su Dongpo was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help showing a look of complacency.Sima Guang was dissatisfied, so he came up with a problem to suppress Su Dongpo's arrogance, so he asked Dongpo with a smile: "Tea wants white, ink wants black; tea wants heavy, ink wants light; tea wants new, ink wants old. Why are you the same?" Love two things?" Everyone applauded after hearing this, thinking that this question was well answered, but now Su Dongpo was stumped.Unexpectedly, Su Dongpo smiled, walked around the room for a few steps, and after thinking for a while, he calmly and happily asked: "Do you agree with the wonderful tea and ink fragrance?" Everyone was convinced.Wonderful genius!Tea and ink are predestined, and we love them at the same time. Tea benefits people's thinking, and ink promotes tea style, complementing each other.Since then, the bond between tea and ink has become a good story.

(Zhuang Xuelan) (3) Origin of milk tea and butter tea According to legend, in the middle of the 17th century AD, Queen Catherine of King Charles II of England was fond of drinking tea. After she married to England from Portugal, she actively advocated the prohibition of drinking tea, spread the fashion of drinking tea, and developed the tea trade. The British called her "tea drinker". Queen".In Chinese history, there was also a tea-drinking queen, even earlier, that was Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng was pro-Tibet. Since then, the frontier has been stable, and it has been passed down as a good story in history.At that time, the fashion of drinking tea was very popular, and people advocated drinking tea.Princess Wencheng married far away to the Western Regions, so the dowry was naturally generous. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, pearl agate, silk and satin, etc., there were also various famous teas. Because Princess Wencheng loved tea all her life, she developed a habit of drinking tea and liked it. Treat guests with tea.

Tibet is located on a plateau, with a cold and dry climate. People eat meat for three meals a day, and there are very few fruits and vegetables.When Princess Wencheng first arrived in Tibet, she was not used to life.Every morning, when the maidservant brought cow and goat milk, she would frown, not wanting to eat, and her stomach would feel uncomfortable after eating, so she came up with a way to drink half a cup of milk first, and then half a cup of tea , I feel my stomach is more comfortable.Later, she simply mixed the tea juice into the milk and drank it together, and accidentally found that the taste of tea and milk was better than a single milk or tea. After that, not only did they add tea to their milk in the morning, but they also liked to add some milk and sugar to their daily tea. This was the original milk tea. As the saying goes, "What is good at the top will be effective at the bottom".Princess Wencheng liked to drink tea, which was very novel to people at first, and then officials and dignitaries followed suit one after another. The princess also often gave tea to officials and relatives and friends. The teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the stomach is refreshed, the thirst is quenched and refreshed, and the body and mind are light.In this way, it was passed on from ten to ten, and people regarded tea as a wonderful medicine, and even believed that the reason why Princess Wencheng was so beautiful was the result of drinking tea. all over Tibet.In order to popularize tea drinking, Princess Wencheng not only learned the truth and passed on the law, but also suggested that the king of Tibet send people to Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places to exchange local specialties such as livestock, fur, and velvet antler for tea. The wind is getting stronger day by day, and the consumption of tea is also increasing day by day.In the practice of drinking tea, people have gradually discovered that drinking a cup of strong tea after eating greasy meat makes the stomach feel particularly comfortable.At the same time, Princess Wencheng thought that green onion, ginger, sesame, fried rice and other condiments were used to make tea in the capital, so she tried to add some ghee and pine nuts to the tea. Salt, salty, fragrant, and better in taste. Princess Wencheng personally made this kind of buttered tea to reward ministers during festivals, so "buttered tea" has gradually become the most solemn etiquette for Tibetans to reward and respect guests. Until today, it is still a unique custom of Tibetans to offer buttered tea to guests.Of course, today’s butter tea is much more particular. When making it, not only must high-quality tea, high-quality butter, and top-quality condiments, but also a long tube for making butter tea and a set of exquisite tea sets.But whenever Tibetans sit together, eating crispy glutinous rice cakes and drinking salty butter tea, they often cherish the memory of the tea-drinking queen—Princess Wencheng—with reverence, and vividly describe various legends about Princess Wencheng .Where do these legends come from?No one has verified whether it is reliable, but people can infer from the history of tea drinking that Princess Wencheng played an active role in spreading, wholeheartedly propagating and promoting the rise and development of Tibetan tea drinking fashion, which is beyond doubt. (Zhuang Xuelan) (4) Girl Biluo On Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Jiangsu Province, there is a famous tea called "Biluochun" with "copper wire strips, spiral shape, full of hair, and frightening fragrance".According to Qing Wang Yankui's "Liunan Essays": "Wild tea is produced on the stone wall of Biluofeng in Dongting Mountain, and there is no difference at the beginning. In a certain year of Kangxi, it was picked according to the season, and the baskets were too heavy. Because it was placed in the bosom, the tea got hot and smelled suddenly. Hair, the pickers scramble to scare the Sharen incense. Scared the Sharen Wu Su dialect, so they took the name. Since then, the natives picked tea and put it in their bosoms, and Zhu Yuanzheng’s family made the unique essence, which was particularly valuable. Jimao, Fortunately, the car drove to Taihu Lake, and the name was changed to Biluochun." Speaking of the origin of Biluochun tea, there are two moving legends among the people. One is that it is said that a long time ago, there lived a beautiful, hardworking and kind girl named Biluo on the West Dongting Mountain.The girl likes to sing, and she has a clear and round voice. When she sings, she sings like an oasis pouring down, which makes everyone very happy.This singing moved a young man named Axiang on the East Dongting Mountain across the water.This Ah Xiang is tall and strong, with strong martial arts skills. He makes a living by fishing. He is upright and willing to help others. People around tens of miles around him praise him and love him.Biluo often sang with nets by the lake, and Ah Xiang always punted and fished in the lake. Although the two never had the opportunity to express their love, they loved each other deeply in their hearts. The villagers also liked these two people very much, so Bring happiness and joy to the folks with them. In the early spring of one year, disaster suddenly came to Taihu Lake.A ferocious and ferocious dragon appeared in the lake, raging in a storm, playing monsters, and threatening to ask Miss Biluo to be his "Mrs. Taihu Lake", which made the people of Taihu Lake feel uneasy day and night.Ah Xiang is determined to fight the evil dragon to the death to protect the lives of the people in Dongting Mountain and protect the beloved Biluo girl from suffering! On a moonless night, Ah Xiang took a big harpoon and sneaked into the West Dongting Mountain. After seeing the evil dragon doing evil, he was resting triumphantly. Put the harpoon in your hand straight to the dragon's back.The evil dragon was seriously injured, struggled for a while, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed towards Ah Xiang even more fiercely.Ah Xiang fought bravely with his harpoon up high, so a vicious battle started. He fought from night to dawn, and from dawn to night, until the sky was dark and the earth was shaking. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, Ah Xiang's harpoon pierced the dragon's throat. At this time, both sides were seriously injured and exhausted. He fell down in a pool of blood and passed out. With deep gratitude and reverence, the villagers carried Axiang back. Miss Biluo was heartbroken when she saw it. In order to repay Axiang for saving his life, she asked to carry Axiang into her home, and she personally take care of.Miss Biluo tried every means to treat him, and stayed by the bed day and night, taking care of him carefully. When Ah Xiang was in pain, she hummed the most beautiful song softly.However, Ah Xiang's injury is still getting worse day by day.Ah Xiang felt very relieved knowing that Miss Biluo was by his side day and night. He had so much to tell her, but his weak body made him speechless, so he could only stare at her with infinite gratitude. Miss Biluo was even more anxious. With the help of her fellow villagers, she went to the doctor to seek medicine, but it still didn't work.One day, the girl looked for herbs and came to the place where Ah Xiang had fought the evil dragon. Suddenly, she saw a small tea tree growing very well. She thought: This is the testimony of Ah Xiang's fight with the evil dragon. Many people know how Ah Xiang sacrificed his blood for the people to live a stable and happy life!Then I added some fertilizer to the small tea tree and cultivated some soil.After that, she went to see it every day. Just after the waking of sting, many buds grew on the tree. It was full of spring and very cute. In the cold temperature, Bi Luo was afraid that the buds would freeze, so she used her small mouth to hold the buds. In this way, go to contain it every morning.Around Qingming, the buds are first released, and the first and second tender leaves are stretched out.The girl looked at these tender green buds and leaves, and said to herself: "This tea tree is nourished by Ah Xiang's blood, and it was swallowed by my singing mouth. Why don't you pick some and give it to Ah Xiang to drink, and express my love for you?" It’s a kind heart.” So he picked a handful of young shoots, put them in his arms, and made a cup of tea for Axiang when he got home.Strange to say, as soon as the tea was poured with boiling water, there was a pure and clear fragrance that refreshed the heart. Ah Xiang was so refreshed that he drank the tea soup in one go.The fragrant and hot tea seemed to seep into every pore of his body, and he felt indescribably comfortable.He tried to raise his hands and stretch his legs, and said in amazement: "It's so strange! I can sit up! What kind of medicine is this? It's more effective than a elixir." Seeing this scene, the girl burst into tears with joy, and also Before I had time to get the bamboo basket container, I ran to the side of the tea tree, picked another handful of buds in one breath, put them in front of my chest, wilted the buds and leaves with my own body temperature, took them out at home, rubbed them gently, and then soaked them for A Xiang drink.After several days in succession, Ah Xiang actually got better day by day.Ah Xiang finally sat up, took the girl's hand to express his love and gratitude, and the girl shyly told her love and respect for Ah Xiang.Ah Xiang was saved, and the heavy stone in the girl's heart fell to the ground.Just when the two were intoxicated in the happiness of love, Biluo's body couldn't hold it anymore, and there was no blood on her haggard face. One day she fell into Ah Xiang's arms, with a sweet and happy smile, and never opened her eyes again. I can't open my eyes anymore.Axiang was so sad that he buried the girl next to the tea tree in Dongting Mountain.Since then, he has worked hard to breed and cultivate tea trees and collect famous teas. "Good tea is always like a beautiful woman." In order to commemorate Biluo girl, people named this precious tea "Biluochun". The second is that a long time ago, there was a strange fragrance on Moli Peak in East Dongting. People mistakenly believed that there was a goblin, and they dared not go up the mountain.One day, a brave, stubborn girl went to Moli Peak to cut firewood. When she was halfway up the mountain, she did smell a fragrance. She was also surprised, so she looked towards the top of the mountain and found nothing strange. Driven by curiosity, the monster climbed up the cliff and came to the top of the mountain. She saw a few green tea trees growing in the crevices of the rocks, and the fragrance seemed to come from the trees.She approached the tea tree, picked some buds and leaves in her bosom, and came down the mountain. Unexpectedly, the tea leaves in her bosom exuded a strong fragrance all the way, and the more she walked, the stronger the fragrance became. Drowsy. Back home, the girl felt tired and thirsty, so she took out the tea leaves from her bosom, but the room was full of fragrance, and the girl yelled, "It's scary, it's scary!", and she picked up some buds and leaves to make a cup of tea and drank it. .From the bowl to the mouth, the fragrance refreshes the heart and spleen. Swallow it in one mouthful, and the mouth is full of fragrance; Swallow it in two mouthfuls, moisten the throat and clear the head;The girl was overjoyed and determined to move the precious tea tree back home to plant.The next day, she took a hoe, dug up the small tea tree, transplanted it at the foot of the stone mountain in West Dongting, and cultivated it carefully.After a few years, the tea tree has grown strong and leafy, and the aroma of the tea tree has attracted neighbors from far and near. The girl made tea from the buds and leaves picked to entertain everyone. , everyone was full of praise, and when asked what kind of tea it was, the girl replied casually: "Shocking tea is fragrant." It has been gradually improved, and has gradually formed Biluochun tea, which has the characteristics of "one tender and three fresh" (that is, tender buds and leaves, color, fragrance and fresh taste), green and clear, spiral-shaped, and covered with hairs. As for how to change the name of Scaring Sharenxiang to Biluochun?It is said that when the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, he tasted this tea and saw its fragrance, mellow aftertaste, green and clear.Later, because of its shape like a snail, it was also called "Biluochun". (Zhuang Xuelan) (5) Frozen top oolong Dongding Oolong is a treasure of oolong tea produced in Taiwan Province, and it is called sister tea together with Baozhong tea.Its production method is similar to Qingxin Oolong, but the taste is more mellow, the throat rhyme is strong, and the fragrance is particularly strong.Because it is produced on Dongding Mountain, it is named Dongding Oolong. Dongding Mountain is a branch of Fenghuang Mountain in Taiwan Province, with an altitude of more than 700 meters and an average monthly temperature of about 20°C. Therefore, Dongding Oolong is not caused by the severe cold and freezing climate, so why is it called "Dongding"?It is said that because the mountains are foggy and rainy, and the steep and rugged roads are difficult to walk, people who go up the mountain have to stretch their toes. The Taiwanese saying is called "frozen toes" to go up the mountain, so this mountain is called Dongding Mountain.According to legend, more than a hundred years ago, in Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan Province, there lived a studious young man named Lin Fengchi. He was knowledgeable, strong and strong, and loved his motherland very much.He couldn't remember which year it was, but when he heard that Fujian Province was going to hold an imperial examination, he really wanted to try it, but his family was poor and lacked travel expenses, so he couldn't make the trip. The folks liked Lin Fengchi for being upright, knowledgeable, ambitious, and ambitious. When they learned that he wanted to go to Fujian to take the exam, they met and came to him and said, "Fengchi, it's a good thing you want to take the exam! Go, if you have difficulties, Let's help you, don't worry, hurry up and get ready!" After that, everyone generously donated their money and collected enough travel expenses for Lin Fengdi.Lin was so grateful that he bid farewell to his fellow villagers on the third day and set off on the road.Before leaving, the folks went to the seaside to see him off, and they repeatedly told them: "I wish you a smooth journey, and be careful on the road!" "No matter how you do in the exam, you have to come back!" "Don't forget your hometown and folks. I hope you come back!" Lin Fengchi was moved to tears, and secretly made up his mind to win glory for the villagers. Soon, Lin Fengchi was nominated for the gold list, was admitted to Juren and took office in the county government.One day, Lin Fengchi decided to go back to Taiwan to visit relatives. Before returning to Taiwan, he invited his colleagues to visit Wuyi Mountain.When I went up to the mountain, I saw that "Wuyi Mountains and Waters are amazing in the world, thousands of peaks and valleys are beautiful." There are many tea trees growing among the rocks on the mountain, and I heard that the young leaves on the trees are made into oolong tea, which has a high fragrance and mellow taste. , Refreshing, diuretic, anti-greasy, invigorating the stomach, strengthening the body, etc., I thought it would be great to bring some back to Taiwan, so I bought 36 tea seedlings from local tea farmers, wrapped them carefully with soil, and brought them to Nantou County, Taiwan .The villagers were overjoyed to see Fengchi Jinyi returning to his hometown, and they were very excited to see that he brought the oolong tea seedlings handed down from his family in Fujian. They selected several experienced farmers and carefully planted 36 tea seedlings in the highest nearby On the frozen top of the mountain, and send special personnel to carefully manage.Coupled with the mild climate in Taiwan, the tea seedlings are alive and spitting out green shoots, which is very cute.Then, according to the method introduced by Lin Fengchi, people picked the buds and leaves and processed them into oolong tea.It is strange to say that this tea is picked and processed on the mountain, and the fragrance can be smelled from the foot of the mountain, and it tastes delicious, mellow and sweet, and has a strange smell. It has become the leader with unique flavor among oolong teas. origin. (Zhuang Xuelan) (6) Mengding jade leaves Mengding tea is a brilliant pearl among the famous Chinese teas. "If you teach Lu Yu to be fair, it should be the first tea in the world", "The only thing you know about Qinli is Lushui, and the old tea is Mengshan", "Shu Tu tea Famous phrases such as "Praise the holy, the taste of Mengshan is unique and precious" are all praising Mengding tea, which shows that Mengshan tea has a high reputation in people's minds. Mengding tea is produced in Sichuan Province, known as the "Land of Abundance".There are many famous mountain resorts in Sichuan, known as "Jiange is dangerous in the world, Emei is beautiful in the world, and Qingcheng is secluded in the world".Mount Meng is located in the middle of the Qionglai Mountains, west of the Chengdu Plain, across the two counties of Mingshan and Ya'an. There are five peaks on the top of the mountain, also known as Wufeng (there are peaks such as Shangqing, Lingjiao, Piluo, Jingquan and Ganlu), which are shaped like lotus flowers.There are towering ancient trees and numerous temples on the mountain. The majestic mountains, the straight peaks, the diffuse clouds, and the peculiar landscape are comparable to those of Emei and Qingcheng. Circulation, surrounded by mountains, tea borders and cedar paths, strange stones and strange flowers, it is enough to be called a famous place.Mengshan has now developed into a key tea-producing area in Sichuan Province. According to historical records, Mengshan tea has a history of more than two thousand years.According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Zen master Puhui in Mengshan Temple who planted a tea tree on Shangqing Peak.These seven tea trees are "not full of feet, never born and never destroyed". They grow old in spring and wither in autumn. They pick tea every year and germinate every year. , known as "fairy tea".The seven "immortal teas" are recorded in the steles of the Han Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the "Mingshan County Chronicles".But where did these seven tea trees come from, and how did they spread?Opinions vary.Some think it was introduced from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, some think it was introduced from Fujian Jianxi, and some think it was cultivated from the tea species collected from Mount Emei. As for how the seven fairy teas developed and spread, there are many mythical records. and legends.It is said that a long time ago, an old monk was seriously ill, and the medicine was ineffective. Suddenly, an old man came to visit, saying that "Jade leaves from Mengshan Mountain were collected at the vernal equinox, and decoction with mountain springs can cure diseases."The old monk believed in his words, picked and processed fairy tea in the same way, and after taking it for a long time, his condition gradually recovered. After taking it for a long time, he felt refreshed and healthy, and more energetic. Picking tea leaves. The old man's wife died in his early years, and he only had one daughter.Yuye has beautiful eyebrows and big eyes, is smart, and is only sixteen years old, and has not yet married.One day, the old man wanted Yuye to go down the mountain to do some shopping, but he met some villainous young men halfway up the mountain, blocking his way, molesting and insulting him in every possible way, Yuye was quick to wit, and let go of his voice to yell for help.The mournful cry alarmed the young man Wang Hu who was chopping firewood.Wang Hu is thick-backed, honest and honest. Hearing the cry for help, he hurried to run, but seeing Young Master E flirting with a girl in broad daylight, he was very angry, picked up a stick, yelled, and rushed straight over, those dudes are no match for Wang Hu, Some were beaten until they hugged their heads and begged for mercy, while others scolded and slipped away. Yuye was saved.She looked at Hu Zi and said, "Thanks to the strong man for saving his life!" After saying that, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.This made Huzi very anxious, so he quickly helped the girl up and said, "This is what I should do, don't do this. It's getting late, girl, hurry up!" Yuye thanked Huzi again and said goodbye to Huzi, and turned to the mountain Going up, not far away, he reluctantly turned his head to look at Huzi, who knew that Huzi was also looking at her, looking at each other with affection, since then Huzi can't forget the girl, always in the mountains wandering between.Yuye also likes to go for a walk in the mountains if she has nothing to do, hoping to meet this young man again.When she found out that the young man was a dutiful son who lived at the foot of the mountain, she missed him even more earnestly. Besides, Wang Hu's family is poor and they rely on chopping firewood for a living. There is an old mother with red and swollen eyes and poor eyesight. She can't even do some needlework.Wang Hu is not only filial to his mother, but also gentle to his neighbors. He also loves ordinary small animals, so people call him a filial son.One day, Wang Hu heard that the "jade leaves" on the top of Mount Meng could cure eye diseases, so he decided to go up the mountain to collect them.He arranged for his mother's life, and said to his mother: "Mother, I'm going to go up the mountain to collect herbs. I must cure your eye disease. You can just stay at home and wait for the good news!"Mengshan has five peaks, he climbed one peak after another, lay down under a big tree when he was tired, and drank some mountain spring water when he was thirsty.One day, he was drinking water by the spring, and he was very troubled when he thought about walking so many ways and couldn't find where the "jade leaf" grew. Suddenly, he heard a melodious singing sound coming from far and near. Climb to the tree and look around, I saw a girl walking towards here singing, she seemed familiar.Looking again, it seemed to be the girl who had been rescued in the past, so she couldn't help shouting. "Hey, are you a person who lives in the mountains?" The girl ran towards this side when she heard someone asking.As the girl ran closer and closer, Huzi could see more and more clearly, it really was her!Like being electrocuted, I feel flustered and my face has a fever.He quickly jumped down from the tree, and the girl was overjoyed when she saw it, and shouted: "It's you! That's great! You saved me last time, and I haven't asked you for your name!" Then she asked where Huzi's family lived , who else is in the family, why did you come to the top of the mountain, and so on.Huzi told the truth, and the girl laughed loudly after hearing this: "You are right! My name is Miss Yuye, I am in charge of Yuye, and I can see a doctor. You go back, I will come to see you in a few days. Your mother is seeing a doctor." Huzi returned home gratefully.In a few days, Yuye brought Baobao's treasured "Yuye" fairy tea to Huzi's house, looked at the aunt's eyes, washed it with tea soup, and asked the aunt to decoct it every day, mash the tea dregs and apply it on the eyelids.Strange to say, within ten days, the redness and swelling of Hu Zima's eyes disappeared, and her eyesight also improved.Aunt is very grateful to Yuye, but also likes Yuye very much.Soon Yuye and Huzi got married as lovers. In order to treat more people, Yuye set up a stall at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time collected some tea seeds and spread them around to expand the planting area of ​​fairy tea.Since then, the news that fairy tea can cure eye diseases, refresh the mind and keep fit, and has the effect of rejuvenating the old has spread like wildfire, and it has become famous far and wide. People call it "Shengyanghua" and "Auspicious Rui".Afterwards, flatterers pick and process it as a gift to the government, and the local government regards it as an advanced treasure and pays tribute to the emperor. Since the Tang Dynasty, Mengshan tea has been listed as "tribute tea".Every time the buds sprout in early spring, the county magistrate will choose an auspicious day, put on court clothes, lead his staff and monks from various temples, beat gongs and drums, and go up the mountain to worship the "immortal tea".After burning incense and praying, the tea buds will be picked. It is stipulated that three hundred and sixty leaves should be picked first, and the tea monks will be responsible for frying.When frying, the temple monks should sit cross-legged and chant scriptures while frying in the cauldron, then dry it with charcoal fire, store it in two silver boxes, and send it to Beijing on horseback for the emperor to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth.The fairy tea picked from the tea trees in Shangqing Peak is called "Zhenggong", and the buds and leaves picked from other peaks are collectively called "Fanzhong".Immediately after the fairy tea is harvested, the tender buds of "fan species" are picked, made into twenty catties, packed in eighteen tin cans, and accompanied by tribute to Beijing, called "accompanied tea", which is exclusively for the emperor to enjoy.According to "Mingshan County Chronicles", Mengshan tribute tea garden is all managed by the monks on the mountain, with a fine division of labor, each performing its own duties, and is responsible to the end.There are also "stone houses" specially built on the mountain for the collection and processing of tribute tea. There are still relics of "tribute tea stone courtyard" on Mount Meng today.For more than a thousand years, Mengshan famous tea has been the patent product of emperors and generals, and the working people have the obligation to collect it, but have no right to enjoy it. Since the 1950s, Mengshan has established a state-run tea farm, reclaimed and developed thousands of acres of tea gardens, and successively produced famous teas such as Manna, Stone Flower, Huangya, Mi Ya, Wanchun Silver Leaf, and Yuye Changchun. Popular in domestic and foreign markets, people praise Mengshan tea as: The flowers are colorful and colorful, and the spring newspapers are high-quality goods with unique flavors. The golden light of a silver crown crowns the world, and Ye Ningqiong's fragrance is better than immortal tea. (Zhuang Xuelan) (7) Royal Tea Garden Ruins Wuyi Mountain is the first famous mountain in Fujian.There are thirty-six peaks and ninety-nine strange rocks on the mountain.There are staggered peaks and rocks, jagged rocks, undulating green hills, criss-cross streams, and Jiuqu River runs through the mountains and winds for fifteen miles.On the south bank of Siqu Jiuqu River, there is a ruins surrounded by mountains and rivers, overgrown with weeds. This is the site of the Royal Tea Garden. Speaking of this royal tea garden, people will never forget such a blood-and-tear-stained legend. It was in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi tea farmers revolted, and after the uprising failed, people went their separate ways and went into exile.Among them was a young man named Lai Si'an, who took his wife and only daughter, Xiaolan, to the sparsely populated Wuyi Mountains, where the mountains were deep and forested, to avoid being hunted by the officers and soldiers.At that time, Lai Si'an was in the prime of life, with thick arms, round waist, great strength and dexterity, honest and helpful.He was born as a tea farmer, so he built a thatched hut at the foot of Wuyi Mountain, opened up wasteland, planted tea trees, and at the same time found some odd jobs nearby. Gradually, people got to know him and liked him.He also gradually got used to the local life.My daughter is also growing up day by day, and she is cute. Although she lacks clothes and food and lives a relatively poor life, she finally has a place to live.Unexpectedly, the good times will not last long, and disasters will come from the sky. One year, a corrupt official named Gao Mingxing came to Wuyi Mountain.Gao Xing is a corrupt guy who breaks the law. He flatters his superiors and suppresses his subordinates. His colleagues are afraid of him and the people hate him.That year, he was transferred to Beijing to visit Wuyi on the way.Accompanied by magistrates, he not only praised the beautiful scenery of thousands of rocks competing in Wuyi Mountain and the stream of thousands of streams, but also loved the good tea of ​​Wuyi Mountain——"Stone Milk", because it tastes fragrant and has a lingering sweetness in his tongue. She raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had found another good opportunity to flatter the emperor.Therefore, he asked Chong'an magistrate for three catties of "stone milk", packed it in refined tin cans, brought it to the capital, and presented it respectfully to Emperor Kublai Khan.Kublai Khan was used to eating meat. After drinking "Stone Milk", the fragrance was tangy to the nostrils, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the mouth was refreshed. Jue, ordered Chong'an magistrate to refine 20 catties of "stone milk" as a tribute every year.Since then, the people have suffered.The price of tribute tea was twenty, but when it came to the county magistrate, it became eighty, forcing the tea farmers to have nowhere to go.Lai Si'an thought, the emperor wants twenty, the dog official wants eighty, and next year one hundred and twenty, what will happen if this continues!There are not so many stone milk teas collected overnight.So I discussed with everyone, picked and processed some crude tea, and used it as a good one to prevaricate things, and let them know that Baixing is not easy to mess with. In the second year, the emperor was very dissatisfied after tasting the "Stone Milk" tea tributed by the county magistrate. Fortunately, all the ministers of the imperial court were bet on tea and interceded for them, so they were spared the death penalty.In order to curry favor with the emperor, the cunning Gao hurriedly submitted a memorial, suggesting that his son go to the mountain to supervise the production, and the emperor would be ready to play, so happy that his son Gao Jiuzhu led his troops to Wuyi in a majestic manner, demolished houses and tea gardens, and built a large area around Siqu. The tea garden is an imperial tea garden, and built "Baking Bureau", Renfeng Gate, Baifa Pavilion, Qingshen Hall, Thinking Pavilion, Peifang Pavilion, Yanjia Pavilion, Yiji Pavilion, Fuguang Pavilion, Biyun Bridge, Tongxian Well, etc. All the pavilions, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, were extravagant, and appointed officials to specialize in imperial tea.在通仙井旁还筑起高台,名曰“喊山台”,每年惊蛰所有地方官员和茶农汇集台前,杀猪宰羊,鸣锣击鼓,祷告上苍,齐喊“茶发芽!茶发芽!”趁机欺上骗下,从中渔利。 四曲一带,原本产茶不多,加之高久住贪得无厌,建园第二年就勒索贡茶三百六十斤,第三年增到九千九百斤。茶农起早摸黑,所制茶叶还不够缴贡,真是民不聊生,怨声载道。赖思安见此情景,气愤地告诫大家:“这世道没有我们穷人活路了,大家不要死在这里,早拿主意吧!”于是上山的上山,逃荒的逃荒,过了谷雨,尚无人采茶,这可急坏了高久住,忙带上兵丁来到山间。官兵所到之处,奸淫烧杀,无恶不作。赖思安带着青壮年茶农躲进深山,当官兵得知赖曾参加过抗元起义,又是鼓动茶农逃亡的带头人,就到处悬赏捉拿,而他的爱女又遭官兵蹂躏,悬梁身亡。官逼民反,赖思安忍无可忍,一拍桌子大声吼道:“反正没有活路,跟他们拼了!”说着拿起柴刀,冲下山去。那时候民众百姓,哪个没仇? 谁个无恨?一人带头,个个争先,纷纷拿起扁担,提上斧子,连夜摸下山去。正巧当晚崇安知县在迎嘉亭宴请高久住,寻欢作乐,酒兴正浓。赖思安带领大家,乘其不备,闯近亭阁,见官就砍,遇兵即杀,好不痛快!最后放了一把火,把御茶园彻底烧毁。 如今,御茶园的繁华和威风早已烟消云散,在人们心目中留下的只有这痛苦的回忆,以及对茶农起义的同情和缅怀。 (庄雪岚) (8) The Story of Monkey Tea 在福建省南靖和漳平交界的朝天岭一带,流传着这样一句话:“茶数白毛猴,猴公胜白毛。” 据说这猴公茶冲泡起来,百步外就能闻到馥郁茶香,入口就感到满嘴清香,一下咽更是沁人心脾。相传在很久很久以前,朝天岭高入云端,悬崖峭壁,奇峰叠翠,云雾缭绕,曾经是猴子聚居的王国。在朝天岭山脚下住着一位勤劳善良的老阿婆,她孤身一人,以替人接生助产、做针线活为生,心地极好,乐于助人,是方圆数十里内人人赞扬的好阿婆。 有年一个寒冷的夜晚,阿婆早已入睡,忽听有人敲门,阿婆心想肯定又是谁家媳妇难产了,于是一骨碌起了床,边穿衣服边去开门。谁知打开门一看,站在门口的是一只黑毛猴子,这可把阿婆吓了一跳。但见那猴子既不入屋,也不抓人,只是用祈求的眼神直直地望着阿婆,口中还吱吱地叫个不停。 阿婆看猴子并无恶意,但又不解猴语,就壮着胆说:“我没有东西给你吃,走罢!”说着就要关门。猴子一看急了,忙上前拉住阿婆的衣角,比划着朝山上方向拉。阿婆暗想莫非母猴病了,且去看看吧!于是关上门就跟着黑猴走去,在月光下走过弯弯曲曲的山径,来到了朝天岭的岩洞口,尚未进洞就听到母猴痛苦的尖叫声,阿婆来不及考虑是否危险,三步并作二步地钻入洞中,只见母猴正在呻吟打滚,看样子是难产了。阿婆拍拍母猴,让她躺好,然后蹲下去为她助产。她摸摸母猴肚子,轻轻地进行揉推,当摸到小猴子头部时轻轻地一拉,小猴子平安地出世了,母猴眨眨眼睛,也安静了下来。 猴公高兴极了,双腿跪下,向阿婆叩起了响头,表示感谢。当阿婆要转身回家时,猴公从洞穴中取来一包茶籽,双手捧给阿婆。阿婆非常喜爱,就用帕儿把它包好,揣入怀中。她一路走,一路想,可别丢了,于是一路行走,一路不停用手去摸,惟恐丢了。结果把那包茶籽打散了,一颗颗茶籽撒落在路上。等阿婆回到家里,怀里的茶籽不多了,她小心翼翼地将它们撒种在屋前山坡上。不久她屋前的茶树长得枝壮叶茂,去朝天岭的那条山路上也到处有绿油油的茶树。阿婆高兴极了,每年采茶季节,她就挽着茶篓,细心采摘,认真炒制,精心保藏,当乡亲们来到她家,她就泡茶招待客人。人们吃到这么好的茶叶,总要惊奇地问阿婆:“这是什么茶呀?这么香,那么可口!”这时,阿婆就怀着自豪的心情笑呵呵地回答: “这叫猴公茶,是朝天岭上的猴公送的!” (庄雪岚) (9) Xueqin distinguishes the spring 北京香山,山峦叠翠,溪流曲折,山间寺院、矿泉甚多,正所谓“香山三百寺,无寺没泉水”、“香山遍地泉,大小七十眼”。在这神州宝地,哪口泉水质最好呢?据曹雪芹评定的结果,是香山品香泉水质最佳。他认为:泉水清,泉水甜,烹茶要算品香泉。以后这一消息愈传愈神,人们纷纷上香山取泉水,说是品香泉的水能治百病,可延年益寿。乾隆皇帝当年曾在品香泉修筑了一座小行宫,闲来上山小坐品茶。皇宫还备有专门运送泉水的龙车,每天取品香泉水供皇上享用。从此,品香泉的水被皇家独占,所以香山一带老百姓说:“品香泉,泉水香,香了皇家香不到咱,上天赐泉莫如溪,溪水长流泽四方!” 品香泉之所以这么有名,相传与曹雪芹品茶辨泉有关。 曹雪芹曾久居香山白旗村。在他专心撰写的同时,和友人鄂比交往情深,几乎天天相约在香山散步。品香泉源于香山法海寺南边的一个山洼里,泉水清清,长流不断。曹雪芹几乎天天要到这里一转,并打上一壶泉水回家沏茶。一天,细雨蒙蒙,鄂比劝他个必上品香泉,说水源头双清泉的水也很好。但雪芹执意不要,坚持去品香泉取水。为此,鄂比因问何故?雪芹答道:“香山大小七十泉,我都品尝过了,唯独这品香泉水清洌、香甜,水质最佳,烹茶其味最醇,若常年饮用,可收养生延年之功。不信?请君一试!” 鄂比说:“我看水源头的泉水也不错嘛!” “水源头泉水固然不错,但比起品香泉来就差得多了!”雪芹答道。 鄂比半信半疑地摇摇头:“恐怕不见得吧,同为泉水,你别说得这么神了。” 过了几天,鄂比一早又来邀雪芹外出散步,曹雪芹三更起床,文思绵绵,写得兴味正浓,就婉言谢绝不能相随,但递上一只水壶,请鄂比帮忙带一壶品香泉水来。 鄂比心想,曹雪芹把品香泉水质说得那么神,我倒要试尝是真是假。于是满口答应,然后一人外出,在水源头装上半壶水,又到品香泉加满半壶水,兴冲冲地回到曹雪芹家。雪芹已写完一章,正在休息,见鄂比提来泉水,高兴极了,忙取出好茶,二人一边聊天,一边烧水沏茶。鄂比边喝边细察雪芹神态,只见雪芹满有兴味地喝了两口,鄂比认为他根本辨不出真假,心中暗喜,就说:“好茶好水,悠然对饮,真乃人生一乐也!”雪芹不语,又喝了几口就把碗放在桌上,用审视的眼光笑眯眯地看着鄂比。 “怎么啦!有什么喜事告诉我吗?”鄂比问。 “你在跟我开玩笑吧!你是哪里打的泉水?这壶里盛的明明是两股泉水,一股是水源头儿的,一股是品香泉的,可对?” 雪芹答。 鄂比见雪芹说得如此肯定,认为他一定是偷偷跟在自己的后面,但又见他穿着睡袍拖鞋,不像上过山,莫非是猜的? 就说:“哪能呢!你是写书太累,味觉减退了吧?” 雪芹道:“别再瞒我了,你自己也仔细品品,这茶上边半碗,水清味儿正,是品香泉的水;而下边半碗就逊色多了,是水源头儿的泉水!” 鄂比这才相信不同泉水的水质确有差别,同时也十分敬佩雪芹的辨泉能力,就称赞道:“你真是茶仙再世,陆羽复生,不光有识别杜康(酒)的本领,还是一位品茶行家里手呢!” 随着这段故事的传播,品香泉的名气就更大了。 (庄雪岚) (10) Shennong Tasting Herbs 相传在公元前2700多年以前的神农时代,神农为了普济众生,尝百草,采草药,虽日遇七十二毒,得茶而解之。这神农氏是否确有其人难以考证,但茶在神农时代已被发现,并逐步加以利用则是事实。 神农氏怎样发现茶的呢?古时有两种传说。一是说:神农氏为了采集草药,验证不同草木的药理功能,必采而嚼之,亲口尝一尝,亲身体验一下哪些草木不能采食,哪些草木采集时要慎加小心。 有一天,神农在采集奇花野草时,尝到一种草叶,使他口干舌麻,头晕目眩,于是他放下草药袋,背靠一棵大树斜躺休息。一阵风过,似乎闻到有一种清鲜香气,但不知这清香从何而来?抬头一看,只见树上有几片叶子冉冉落下,这叶子绿油油的,心中好奇,遂信手拾起一片放入口中慢慢咀嚼,感到味虽苦涩,但有清香回甘之味,索性嚼而食之。食后更觉气味清香,舌底生津,精神振奋,且头晕目眩减轻,口干舌麻渐消,好生奇怪。于是再拾几片叶子细看,其叶形、叶脉、叶缘均与一般树木不同,因而又采了些芽叶、花果而归。 以后,神农将这种树定名为“荼”,这就是茶的最早发现。Since then, tea trees have been gradually excavated, collected and introduced, and used as medicine, sacrifices, vegetables and drinks. 二是说天神所赐,神农发现。当时神农氏给人治病,不但需要亲自爬山越岭采集草药,而且还要对这些草药进行熬煎试服,以亲身体会、鉴别药剂的性能。有一天,神农氏采来了一大包草药,把它们按已知的性能分成几堆,就在大树底下架起铁锅,放入溪水,生火煮水。当水烧开时,神农打开锅盖,转身去取草药时,忽见有几片树叶飘落在锅中,当即又闻到一股清香从锅中发出,神农好奇地走近细看,只见有几片叶子飘浮水面,水中汤色渐呈黄绿,并有清香随着蒸汽上升而缓缓散发。他用碗舀了点汁水喝,只觉味带苦涩,清香扑鼻,喝后回味香醇甘甜,而且嘴不渴了,人不累了,头脑也更清醒了,不觉大喜。于是从锅中捞起叶子细加观察,似乎锅边没有此树,心想:“一定是天神念我年迈心善,采药治病之苦,赐我玉叶以济众生”。自此,一边继续研究这种叶子的药效,一边涉足群山寻找此类树叶。一天,神农终于在不远的山坳里发现了几棵野生大茶树,其叶子和落入锅中的叶片一漠一样,熬煮汁水黄绿,饮之其味也同,神农大喜,遂定名为“荼”,并取其叶熬煎试服,发现确有解渴生津、提神醒脑、利尿解毒等作用。因此在百草之外,被认为是一种养生之妙药。据说,当年神农发现的这种“荼”,就是今天被人们称作茶的树叶。 (庄雪岚) (11) Lu Yu Sencha 唐宋时期茶风极盛,皇亲国戚、达官显贵、文人雅士、曾道等均以尚茶为荣,对品茶十分讲究,因而出现了一大批品饮的行家里手。 据说,唐时竟陵积公和尚,善于品茶,他不但能辨别所喝是什么茶,沏茶用的是何处水,而且还能判断谁是煮茶人。 这种品茶本领,一传十,十传百,人们把积公和尚看成是“茶仙”下凡。这消息也传到了代宗皇帝耳中。代宗本人嗜好饮茶,也是个品茶行家,所以宫中录用了一些善于品茶的人供职。代宗听到这个传闻后,半信半疑,就下旨召来了积公和尚,决定当面试茶。 积公和尚到达宫中,皇帝即命宫中煎茶能手,沏一碗上等茶叶,赐与积公品尝。积公谢恩后接茶在手,轻轻喝了一口,就放下茶碗,再也没喝第二口茶。皇上因问何故?积公起身摸摸长须笑答:“我所饮之茶,都是弟子陆羽亲手所煎。 饮惯他煎的茶,再饮旁人煎的,就感到淡薄如水了。 ”皇帝听罢,问陆羽现在何处?积公答道:“陆羽酷爱自然,遍游海内名山大川,品评天下名茶美泉,现在何处贫僧也难准测。 " 于是朝中百官连忙派人四出寻访陆羽,不几天终于在浙江吴兴苕溪的杼山上找到了,立即把他召进宫去。皇帝见陆羽虽然说话结巴,其貌不扬,但出言不凡,知识渊博,已有几分欢喜,于是说明缘由,命他煎茶献师,陆羽欣然同意,就取出自己清明前采制的茶饼,用泉水烹煎后,先献给皇上。皇帝接过茶碗,轻轻揭开碗盖,一阵清香迎面扑来,精神为之一爽,再看碗中茶叶淡绿清澈,品尝之下香醇回甜,连连点头称赞好茶。接着就让陆羽再煎一碗,由宫女送给在御书房的积公和尚品尝。积公端起茶来,喝了一口,连叫好茶,接着一饮而尽。积公放下茶碗,兴冲冲地走出书房。大声喊道: “鸿渐(陆羽的字)何在?”皇帝见状惊问:“积公怎么知道陆羽来了?”积公哈哈大笑道:“我刚才饮的茶,只有渐儿才能煎得出来,喝了这茶,当然就知道是渐儿来了。” 代宗十分佩服积公和尚的品茶之功和陆羽的茶技之精,就留陆羽在宫中供职,培养宫中茶师,但陆羽不羡荣华富贵,不久又回到苕溪,专心撰写《茶经》去了。 (庄雪岚)
