Historical allusions of Biluochun
Biluochun is one of the five famous teas in China and one of the ten famous teas in China. It is green tea produced in Zhouzhuang and Songyang of Taihu Lake in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The historical allusions of Biluochun can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, Wang Qinruo, a tea farmer in Wujiang, Suzhou, picked tea in Taihu Lake all the year round. Once, when he was picking tea, he met a beautiful woman who asked him to take the tea he had picked to an official named Lang Yue. Wang Qinruo came to Lang Yue's house with tea, but he was despised. When he knocked over the tea leaves and cooked tea with hot water, the tea leaves were scattered on the ground, the boiling water did not boil, the hot air did not come out, and the tea fragrance came to the nose. He looked down and found that the tea was shaped like a snail, so he named him "Biluochun". Lang Yue took a sip, was stunned by nature, praised Wang Qinruo, and asked him to take this tea back to promote it.

Wang Qinruo brought this kind of tea back to his hometown Zhouzhuang, promoted it to local tea farmers, and achieved great success in the competition with tea merchants, making Biluochun tea a unique local tea. Since then, "Biluochun" tea has been widely circulated in Jiangsu Province, becoming an important local industry, and gradually becoming a highly sought after and loved tea in the tea market at home and abroad.
