A smile Tang Liuan melon pieces

Landmark Geography Lingshan Xiushui Famous Tea and Liuan Guajia Tianxia Liu'an Tea Meal Tea is located in the western part of Anhui Province, the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, and the eastern edge. The climate belongs to the transition zone from the north subtropical to the warm temperate zone. The main producing area is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains. The tea gardens are mostly distributed in the range of 300-800 meters above sea level. Here, the vegetation is abundant, the smoke is lingering, and the mountains are beautiful. The average annual precipitation of the producing area is 1109.2mm, and there is plenty of rainwater. It is suitable for the Xiyin and hi wet characteristics of the tea tree, which ensures that the tea tree grows vigorously and promotes the synthesis of catechins and amino acids. The annual frost-free period is 234d, and the frost-free period is longer; the annual fog day is 181d, scattering more light; the average annual sunshine is 1981h, and the light resources are abundant; the annual average temperature is 16.0°C, the annual accumulated temperature is more than 10°C and the effective accumulated temperature is 2831.9°C, and the summer is cool and favorable to tea trees. The accumulation of nutrients such as growth and amino acids accumulates and leaves tea leaves with characteristics such as leaf hypertrophy, green color, and high savory taste. The soil is yellow-brown soil, pH 5.0-6.5, high organic matter content, good water and heat conditions, average temperature is higher than the soil temperature, the soil freezing period is not long, the freezing is not deep, the soil temperature is moderate, cold and heat, and the permeability is good. It is conducive to the growth and development of the tea tree roots, promotes the vigorous growth of tea trees, and contains a high content of active ingredients in the new leaves. The taste of the tea made from Liu'an melon tea is thick and fresh, and the aroma is long and lasting.

Second, 【Cultural background】 Qi Batong on the top of the mountain Qi Xiang floating land reputation of North and South about the historical origins of Liu'an melon film, many controversial, and now the most credible legend there are two kinds: First, around 1905, Liuan tea Teateachers picked green leaves from the acquired green tea, eliminated the stems, and succeeded as new products. The news spread like wildfire, and Jinzhai Mocha Tea Line moved in a hurry and followed suit. It was once called "Fengwing" (meaning bee wing). The move inspires a local tea company, so it removes the buds from the fresh leaves that were harvested at Qitoushan, and fry the old leaves and young leaves. As a result, the color, flavor, taste, and shape of the tea is more than " Feng wing." Then they followed suit around the world. The world’s youngest tea called the melon seeds and leaf-shaped leaves was called the "melon slice." Again, it is said that there is a wealthy person who has a relative relationship with Yuan Shikai, who often honors Yuan with native products. Yuan Yincha Chengyu, but at that time the big tea, chrysanthemum tea, Maojian, etc. difficult to Italy. Before and after 1905, in order to please Yuan Shikai, I wish Lao Cai finally paid no effort to hire a teacher at the back burner, picking 1-2 young leaves of spring tea, carefully frying it with a small brush, and baking it on charcoal to make new products that won him a lot of love. . As a result, imitation of Risheng, this flake-like new tea will have the title of "melon seed". This is what is now referred to as a "melon slice." Although the two arguments are quite different, it can be determined that the production of Lu'an Guapian was around 1905, and now the area of ​​Qitou Mountain in Jinzhai County is its birthplace. Authentic Liu'an melon slices are produced within a radius of several tens kilometers from the Qitou Mountain in Jinzhai, Anhui Province, and are best produced at the Qitoushan Batoudong Cave, which is 804 meters above sea level in the first country of origin. Bat Cave is located on the south slope of Qitou Mountain and is named after a large number of bats. According to many field trips by Zhuang Weizhi and Xiong Haiqin, the Bat Cave is located on a cliff not far from the top of the hill. The hole is about 10-15 meters away from the ground. The climb is extremely thrilling, and the hole is more than 3 meters deep and can accommodate several people. On the left side of the cave, there is a huge stone seam from top to bottom, tilted about 75° from the ground, and it is unfathomable. The bats inhabit the depths of the crevices and are difficult to see during the day. However, in the sit-in caves, they can often hear the whistling sounds of bats in the dark, such as the wind. There is a wild tea in the entrance, and two small trees. There are many wild tea trees growing in stone caves under the caverns. The growth is strong, the leaves are oval, the leaves are dark green, and the leaves are uplifted. In the book “Selected Works of Famous Chinese Tea Research” edited by Chen Xi, Zhuang Weizhi’s Wen Yun: Liu’an’s melon films have long been produced by the single-handed, single-handed household and are closely related to the lives of thousands of families. People love it, cultivate it, and praise it. In the producing areas there are many beautiful legends full of myths. For example, some people have described in vivid colours: There is a year of tea in spring, and a group of women gather on Qitou Mountain to collect tea. One of them found a large tea tree near the Bat Cave. The branches and leaves were dense and the new shoots were fat. She forgot her companion and started to pick it. The wonderful thing is that the new sprouts are picking and sprouting. The more they get, the more they get until dark, or they are full of sprouts. Early the next morning, she climbed another vine, but came to see that the tea tree was not seen. So there is the beauty of "God tea." It was also said that Hulin, a long-time worker, once caught a new bud by picking tea from Qitoushan, and he took a handful and put it in his pocket. When he was down the hill, he rested in a tea shed. Because of his thirsty way, he brewed and drank the tea in his pocket. The lid of the bowl was opened, but the smoke in the pontoon was lifted, and the full house was fragrant and long-lasting, and there was a saying of “cloudy tea”. Lu'an Guai film is unique in its production process, unlike other green tea. The "Lao Lao Huo" process during the production of Lu'an Guaichips required two skilled brawny men to carry a special bake basket filled with tea and continue to bake on specially made charcoal. The charcoal fire was fierce and the flames were surplus. Lift baskets to bake and bake, a cover is provided; often need two or three pairs of baking baskets alternately, take one step, turn while baking, beat the rhythm closely, with tacit understanding, such as dancing classical dance, the number of times in more than 80 times until Tea leaves are moist, fresh and fragrant, and they form a special color, fragrance, taste and shape. This is a veritable fire attack and it is a must for Chinese tea-making techniques. Due to the color, fragrance, taste, shape and taste of Lu'an guaguai, Xiangfei is in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other provinces in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins. After the end of the Republic of China in the late Qing Dynasty, Lu'an Guapian was also known as the Shenzhou. Our beloved Premier Zhou Enlai has a special liking for Lu'an melon tea. In the early spring of 1939, Premier Zhou was full of praise when he first drank Liu'an melon at General Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army. After the founding of New China, "Lu'an Guai film" was designated as the special tea provided by the Central Military Commission. In 1971, when US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger visited China, Premier Zhou presented Liu'an melon tablets as a national tea gift to him. According to the memory of Premier Zhou Enlai, guardian Joe Jinwang, during the prime minister’s illness, he suddenly asked the medical staff to drink Liu’an melon tea. The staff in the office had spent a great deal of effort to satisfy his old man’s wishes. After drinking tea, the prime minister explained that the first drink of Lu'an melon was sent by the commander of Yeh, and drinking this kind of tea was like seeing General Ye Ting. The amount of Lu'an melon tablets was in the hearts of the two men. President Li Xiannian, who visited Hubei Hong'an, strongly recommended Lu'an Guapian tea to his hometown cadres and asked Hongan to send people to Liu'an to learn how to pick and produce Liu'an melon slices. In 2007, when President Hu Jintao paid a state visit to Russia, he gave the Liu'an melon film as a national gift to President Putin. During the "two sessions" this year, when General Secretary Xie made a speech at the Anhui delegation, he recalled that the tea he drank from Liu'an in 1978 was Liu'an. The leaders of Wu Bangguo, Premier Wen Jiabao, and Vice Premier Hui Liangyu successively tasted Lu'an guaguai tablets and gave high praises. Today, Lu'an guaguai film has entered Beijing and entered Zhongnanhai, becoming the official tea of ​​the National People's Congress General Office and the Central Military Commission General Office.

III. “Culture Preservation” Seven bowls of breeze The “Lu'an Guai film” from Lu’an into every verse of Jiaxing has a long history and abundant cultural connotations. As early as the Tang Dynasty "Tea Sutra" there was "Luzhou Liuan tea"; Tang. In the "Tea Saga" of Minh Chau, "The Ming Dynasty produced hundreds of teas in the world, and there were only ten places in the tribute to the tribute, while the exclusive tribute of the tribute to the tribute in Sunggong means that Shouyang ranks second and is not conclusive." The great poet Li Bai has "Yangtze Jiangzhong" "Water, tea on the top of Qi Shan" verse. Ming Guang Xu Guangqi in his book "The Agricultural Politics Book" said that "a piece of tea in Lu'an is the best of tea"; Song Dynasty has a reputation for "quality" in tea. Song Renzong Jiayu six years, the country's 13 tea farms, there are four Luan, the amount of tea accounts for 1/3 of the country. Ming and Qing Dynasties have been classified as a tribute. Xu Guangqi, a great scientist of the Ming Dynasty, said in his "Agricultural Politics Book": "The tea in Lu'an is the best of tea." In the Ming Dynasty tea apologist Xu Dianxu left a record of "Tea Shushu" in the book, "The world's famous mountains, will produce Lingcao, Jiangnan to warm, so alone Yiyi tea. The north of the river, it is called Liuan" records; Ming Zhan Jingfeng in "Ming Differentiated letters "Clouds of Four Famous Teas, Jiangbei is Lu'an of Zhangzhou"; Ming Dynasty Li Dongyang, Xiao Xian, and Li Shishi jointly created seven laws, "Qian Liuan Tea", "Seven bowls of breeze from Lu'an" After the reliance on the product, "to Liuan melon film" with a high rating. In the poems of the Qing Dynasty, Pan Shimei's "Cloud Tea" has a small order: "Qishan is extremely topped with clouds and fog, and its tea production is very strong and has a unique taste. In the past, he served as a county-man husband, and he was tasted for the cause. Straight to the clouds, looking for people with no peaks and low desires; love to explore thunder and new vomiting, to mention the basket to the fans in the fog.Five plants often get new incense, there are mortals and customs; today knows the law of equality, powder榆 榆 得分 尝 尝 尝." In the Qing Dynasty, Li Guangting used the “gold powder to decorate the facade of China and Huizhou merchants to compete for Lu’an Tea” to describe the Kyoto tea market at that time. The “Lu'an Guapian” was listed as a “tribute” in the Qing Dynasty. The Empress Dowager Cixi had been on the 14th month of “Qishan Clouds and Fog”. There were more than 80 references in the “Dream of Red Mansions” written by Cao Xueqin, a great writer. “Miaoyu Tea (Lu'an Guapian)” is a section that reads an enchanting lye; Yongfeng Lv Huai-shi “A few years dreamed of ten springs, and this day is like a sentimental sensation. Liuan night boiled spring buds, October cold and bones clear, grateful for the true meaning of Xiyi, the candlestick to deeper and deeper; "modern well-known writer Liang Shiqiu "drinking tea," a document recorded "a friend from Lu'an, to me a little piece of melon The leaves are large and green, and the drinkers are wild and wild." Wang Ze-nong, the most famous Chinese tea expert in the modern era, “Man Ting Fang Er Yi” has “more like Qi mountains, lower cliffs, thicker streams, thicker days, Liuan melon slices, and Gan Xiangrun”.
