China is called "the hometown of tea" and "the birthplace of tea culture". Fujian is the hometown of oolong tea with a history of more than 1 years. It is also the birthplace of tea culture. The famous Lotus Peak and its lotus tea have built a unique tea culture landscape in Fujian.
From rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea to wine tea with piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry, tea is so close to people's lives that it is appreciated by elegance and vulgarity. Tea is a profound and meaningful culture. Thousands of years of historical accumulation and civilization inheritance have made the colorful Chinese civilization wonderfully dissolved in tea fragrance.
even in human history, people regard tea as the enjoyment of life, the bridge of friendship, the symbol of civilization and the embodiment of spirit. Its discovery and application have shocked the world and attracted worldwide attention.
Fujian tea culture embodies geographical spirituality. Tea has been in Fujian for thousands of years, with the most tea creations and the strangest tea tasting skills. Fujian tea has an important historical position and cultural value in the development of tea in China and even in the world.
Fujian tea production is recorded in writing, which was first seen in the cliff stone carving "Lotus Tea Front" on the Lotus Peak Stone in Fengzhou Ancient Town, Nan 'an County, and was carved in 376. This is more than 3 years earlier than that recorded in Lu Yu's Tea Classic.
in ancient times, Fengzhou was the political, economic and cultural center of southern Fujian. Lotus Peak is located in the northwest of Taoyuan Village in the north of Zhenbei, with a peak height of about 12 meters. Lotus Rock Temple was built as far away as the Western Jin Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was an Ouyang Zhan library on the mountainside. When Han Wo, a poet at the end of the Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion here, Zeng Yong's poem "Looking for the old lady on the cliff, picking tea songs in local customs" was used to describe the production scene of Lianhuafeng tea in that year.
tea-building and tea-fighting became a common practice in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tea innovation increased, and the production process of oolong tea was pioneered, and the tea trade gradually flourished. The tea mountains and teas in Wuyishan further embellished the cultural heritage of Fujian tea.
The tea culture of later generations has been further developed on the basis of predecessors. Tea planting, tea making, tea selling, tea tasting and tea competition almost occupy the life content of tea villagers.
In p>111, Gao Huilian, the prefect of Quanzhou, inscribed "Tea Fragments in the Rock". In 156, the pavilion of youth was built. The name of the pavilion is derived from the poem inscribed on the lotus stone by Dai Chen in the Northern Song Dynasty, which reads "A lotus is not old, and it has spent all the spring in the world".
Bulao Pavilion is commonly called "Stone Pavilion" because the beams, roofs and all components of the pavilion are carved from granite. Since then, Lotus Peak Tea has been renamed Shiting Green Tea.
During the light year of Qing Dynasty, tea was planted more abundantly under Lotus Peak, and there were many people crossing the sea to make a living in Nan 'an area. Shiting Green gradually became a gift for overseas Chinese to wish them a "pleasant journey". Over time, overseas Chinese loved to drink it. Subsequently, Shiting Green sold well in Southeast Asian islands and even exported to Europe.
Homesick wanderers, stone pavilions, tea pavilions and people have built a unique tea culture landscape in the hometown of overseas Chinese. Later generations, the ancient town was full of splendor and new buildings were in pieces, but the mountain gate couplets were still: green tea and green peaks, and the opening was even more ancient;
the pavilion is high and proud, and it is as dry as being drunk.
Jiancha is named after it is produced in Jianxi Valley. There is a written record of building tea in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was recorded in the "Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period in the Tang Dynasty: "Yi Ren Wang Xiu lived in Taibai Mountain the next day and returned with monks and Taoists. Every winter, he knocked on his ice pot to cook and build tea, and * * * guests drank it." It shows that tea has a long history.
The Notebook Beads written by Tang Fengzhi said that "the construction of people called tea fighting as a tea fight", indicating that the custom of tea fighting in Fujian began in the Tang Dynasty.
in the northern song dynasty, Lin Bu wrote in "building tea": the stone grinds to clear the dust, and the frankincense cooks the jianxi spring.
It's hard to know the peerless products in the world, so I'm free to recall the ancients about the tea classics.
from the time of the song dynasty, Fujian was famous for its tribute tea and tea fighting activities in Beiyuan, which created a generation of tea fighting and tea drinking style, and became popular all over the country. It can be said that the dragon and the phoenix dance are in the court, and fighting tea is more fashionable than artistic creation.
Ding Wei Song dynasty's Ode to Tea in the Northern Song Dynasty; In the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan's Song of Fighting Tea with Zhang Min; Cai Xiang wrote Tea Record; Song Zian wrote "Dongxi Tea Trial Record"; Huang Ru wrote "Tea tasting to be recorded"; Huizong Zhao Ji wrote "Daguan Tea Theory"; Xiong Fan wrote the Record of Tea Tribute in Xuanhe Beiyuan ... which recorded and studied in detail the tea planting, tea making, tea tasting technology and tea drinking habits in Fujian at that time.
According to records, Beiyuan Tea has more than half of the Song Dynasty tea books and more than a thousand tea poems. Wuyi tea in the Song Dynasty was a part of tea building. By 132, the Roasting Bureau was established, and the Imperial Tea Garden was set up on the banks of the Four Curves of Jiuqu River, and 5, cakes of "Longtuan" were made every year. Since then, a large number of Wuyi teas have been paid separately, and the Yuan Dynasty flourished until the disintegration of the Imperial Tea Garden for 26 years.
in the song and yuan dynasties, the palace tea culture and literati tea culture flourished in Fujian, which were characterized by "dragon and phoenix flourishing" and "tea fighting became the wind". The royal tea garden "Royal Tea Garden" bred by Jiuquxi not only represents the historical glory of Wuyi tea, but also symbolizes the special position of Fujian tea in China.
When the prosperity of fighting tea gradually waned, Fujian tea in Ming and Qing Dynasties entered a period of innovation, and a variety of teas were created. Another glory after Gongcha and Doucha in Song Dynasty.
in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Fujian created oolong tea, and interpreted all of Wuyi Tea Song and Anxi Tea Song. Wang Caotang Tea Theory quoted by Lu Tingcan's Continued Tea Classic; Dong Tiangong's Records of Wuyishan recorded the production technology of oolong tea.
Fujian produces Kung Fu black tea, which is said to have been successfully trial-produced in Yangcun, Fointint during the reign of Qing Xianfeng and Tongzhi, and sold in Europe through Guangzhou, which is very popular. Since then, a large number of tea merchants have come one after another, entering the mountains to seek the market and opening tea shops. The surrounding teas have gathered in Tanyang, and the reputation of "Tanyang Kung Fu" has spread like wildfire.
In Fujian, there are Bai Lin Kung Fu, Zheng He Kung Fu, which are usually called Fujian Three Kung Fu Black Tea.
the use of jasmine tea in Fujian began in the Ming dynasty. By the Qing dynasty, the scenting method was more developed than that of the Ming dynasty, and a large number of commercial teas began to appear. During the Xianfeng period of Qing dynasty, jasmine tea was produced in large quantities and sold well in all parts of North China.
Around p>189, tea leaves from all over the world were transported to Fuzhou to make scented tea, and Fuzhou became the center of scented tea making.
Innovating tea technology and enriching tea varieties has become the main theme of this historical period. At this time, the tea trade was flourishing, and Wuyi tea became the name of China tea for quite a period of time.
The New Records of Chong 'an County records: "Wuyi Tea began in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, declined in the Ming Dynasty, and revived in the Qing Dynasty. ..... "
Wuyi tea culture has a long history of more than 1 years. Wuyi Mountain is where Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism share the same mountain. Someone once praised:" Kong Qiu was born in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and Zhu Xi was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. China ancient culture, Mount Tai and Wuyi. "
Tea has an indissoluble bond with the three religions. There is harmony in tea and tranquility in tea. The nature of "harmony and tranquility" in tea is the realm pursued by the three religions, and the essence of the three religions' thoughts also enriches the connotation of Wuyi tea culture.
Classical aesthetics holds that: "Stones are the bones of heaven and earth; Bone, you are strong and deep, but not shallow. Water, the blood of heaven and earth; Blood flows around without stagnation. "
Wuyi Mountain is the integration of mountains and rivers and the essence of Chinese classical landscape aesthetics. Its natural scenery is unique. The nine songs of "three or three beautiful waters are as clear as jade" and the wonderful combination of the 36 peaks and 99 rocks of "six or six wonderful peaks are inserted into the sky" are different from ordinary natural landscapes, and it is a clever and refined natural landscape garden characterized by wonderful scenery and deep seclusion.
Wuyi rock tea and Wuyishan can be regarded as one, with "good mountains, good water and good tea". Wuyi means "tea is named after mountains, and mountains are named after tea".
tea produced in Anxi has words that can be tested in Tang dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying at the Yanyanyu gate of Langyuan: "White tea specialty is priceless, and stalagmites stand alone." Zhan Dunren, the magistrate of Kaixian County, left many tea poems. With the rise of Ming and Qing Dynasties, the tea garden area reached 31, mu in Guangxu thirty years, and there was a large-scale export volume.
tea planting, tea making, tea selling, tea tasting, tea competition and so on almost occupy the life content of Anxi tea country people. Making tea is scientific and tasting tea is cultured. They follow the custom of "no three cups are not polite", advising tea to be leisurely and laughing.
The introduction of Anxi Tea Art sums up the tea tasting experience of past dynasties, combines local tea tasting customs, is simple, ancient and pure, and mainly takes Tieguanyin's special tea rhyme as the essence of tea, and expounds its brewing skills and the spiritual connotation of tea art..
Its tea art process includes: entering the tea garden, displaying tea sets, cooking spring water, lighting a lamp in the Yaochi, entering the palace with Guanyin, hanging a pot, blowing incense in the Ou, protecting the tripod with three dragons, flowing water, going out to sea with Guanyin, ordering water to make incense, making fragrant tea to respect guests, appreciating the color of soup, savoring the fragrance, and tasting the fragrance for rhyme.
Through tea art, the spiritual pursuit of "purity, elegance, courtesy and harmony" is conveyed. There is quite a tender willow pond, and the beauty of simplicity and simplicity asks the beauty of spring breeze.
