The famous tea of ??Xinyang has been recorded in the Tang Dynasty. Lu Yu's "Tea Book" of the Tang Dynasty and Li Zhao's "National History Supplement" of the Tang Dynasty listed Yiyang tea as a famous tea at that time. In the Song Dynasty, Xinyang tea was listed as a famous tea in "History of Ning Shihuo Zhi" and "Daguan Tea Theory" by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, according to Ma Duanlin's "Tongkao of Documents" of the Yuan Dynasty: "Guangzhou produced Dongshou, Qianshan, Boside" and other famous teas. In the Ming Dynasty, there were very few records about famous tea. During the Qing Dynasty, tea production recovered rapidly. The mid-Qing Dynasty was another period of rapid development of tea production in Henan Province. Tea-making technology gradually became more sophisticated and the quality of tea-making became more and more exquisite. In the late Qing Dynasty, the fine tea Xinyang Maojian appeared. In the late Guangxu year of the Qing Dynasty (1903-1905), Cai Zuxian, who was the Qing government's anti-smuggling commander in Xinyang and a member of the old tea industry office, proposed the initiative of opening mountains to grow tea. At that time, Gan Zhouyuan, who was the director of Xinyang Industry Encouragement Institute and had a strong source of funds, responded positively. He, Wang Zimo, landlord Peng Qingge and others resumed tea cultivation at the northern foot of Zhenlei Mountain in Xinyang in 1903 and established the "Yuanzhen" tea house. A tea master named Yu was invited to help guide the cultivation and production of tea trees. From 1905 to 1909, Gan Zhouyuan invited Chen Yuxuan, Wang Xuanqing and others to discuss growing tea at the Xinyang Camel Shop, organized the establishment of Hongji Tea House, sent Wu Shaoqu to buy tea seeds in Lu'an and Mabu, Anhui, and also invited Lu'an tea masters Wu Jishun and Wu Shaotang helped guide tea growing and making. The tea making method basically follows the frying method of "Guapian" tea, using a small pan, a raw pot and a cooked pot for frying. The tea frying tools use broom handles, and the raw pot uses two broom handles with a length of 0.5 meters and a thickness of 0.1 meters. Hold one in each hand and stir fry. Use a large broom handle instead of kneading the cooked pot. This is the original production technology of Xinyang Maojian. In 1911, Gan Zhouyuan established Yushen Tea House in Ganjiachong and Xiaosunjia. Driven by this, the tea gardens on the adjacent hills developed to a certain scale. Tea merchant Tang Huiqing went to Hangzhou West Lake to buy tea seeds and learn Longjing frying techniques. After coming back, on the basis of the "Guapian" frying method, I also integrated the "Longjing" strip-grabbing and arranging techniques into the Xinyang Maojian stir-fry, and changed the frying pan with a small handle into a pot for both raw and cooked dishes. Stir-fried with a large broomstick. The tea produced by this frying method is the prototype of Xinyang Maojian, the national famous tea today. During the Republic of China, tea production developed vigorously after the Qing Dynasty, and the production technology of famous tea was gradually improved. Five major teahouses were established in Xinyang Tea Area, and together with the three major teahouses of the Qing Dynasty, they are collectively known as the "Eight Teahouses". As the "Eight Tea Houses" focused on the introduction, digestion and absorption of production technology, Xinyang Maojian processing technology was improved. In 1913, Benshan Maojian tea with good quality was produced, named "Xinyang Maojian". In order to welcome the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915, the International Exposition was held. In 1914, the Xinyang County Tea District actively prepared tea samples for the competition, including Gongzhen tea, Pekoe tea, smoked Longjing tea, unsmoked Longjing tea, Maojian tea, and Zhusan tea. , tongue tea. In February 1915, at the Expo, Xinyang Maojian tea was judged to be awarded the World Tea Gold Certificate and Medal for its unique qualities of beautiful appearance, noble aroma and rich taste. Xinyang Maojian has since become the representative of high-quality green tea in Henan Province. In 1958, Xinyang Maojian was rated as one of the top ten famous teas in the country at the National Tea Appraisal Conference. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xinyang tea production has achieved greater development, Xinyang Maojian tea production technology has been promoted, and the production area has continued to expand. By 1993, seven counties and two counties in Xinyang including Shihe District (formerly Xinyang City), Pingqiao District (formerly Xinyang County), Luoshan County, Huangchuan County, Gushi County, Guangshan County, Shangcheng County, Xin County and Xixian County Xinyang Maojian tea is produced in every district.
