Ruicaokui is produced in Yashan Mountain in the south of Anhui Province, also known as Yashan Tea, which is a famous historical tea. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Langxi County was the hometown of tribute tea, and the tribute tea "Ruicaokui" in the Tang Dynasty grew in the mountainous area of langxi.
Ruicaokui is produced in Baiyanggang, south of Miaoquan Village (Yaojiata Village), Yaocun Township, Langxi County, Anhui Province. It is a famous tea in history. Because the intersection angle of the main lateral veins of its tea varieties is too large, it looks like a transverse texture, so it is named transverse tea. It became famous in China as early as 1000 years ago.
"The mountain is real, Wu Dongxiu, and the tea is called Ruicaokui. Although the side is vulgar history, it is also a fairy. " This is a famous sentence in the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's Tea Mountain, which is used to praise the best tea-Ruicaokui.
There are more than 80,000 temple tea gardens in langxi, which is the largest green tea production base in China. On average, every 65,438+00 kilograms of tea in China is produced in langxi. In 65,438+0996, Langxi County was awarded the title of "Hometown of Green Tea in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the famous historical tea "Ruicaokui" was produced in Yashan, Yaocun Township, langxi.
Baiyanggang on the sunny slope of Yashan Mountain is 487 meters above sea level, with towering old trees, lush forests and bamboos, gurgling streams and misty clouds. The black gravel sandy soil in the tea field is especially suitable for tea growth. Tea trees are unique in nature and wild, and the area of fresh leaves can reach 8000 mu. The finished tea is flat and straight like a sparrow tongue, with uniform size, green color, long fragrance, lasting fragrance, yellow-green soup color and long aroma.
Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised Rui Caokui in his poem Chashan. The Tea Classic written by Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty recorded the tea production in Yashan, ancient Xuanzhou. "Tea Spectrum" in Wenxi, Shu Mao in the Five Dynasties records: "There is Ya Mountain in Xuancheng County, and small cakes are paved with tea teeth. Its Shandong province was lit by Asahi, its name is Yangpo, and its tea is the best. Taishou tried to recommend it to Luo Jing people, and the title was Yashan Yangpo Hengcha. " In the Northern Song Dynasty, Mei's poem Ying Zhang wrote the rhyme of Xuancheng Yashan Tea: I often read Tang poems, and the rhyme of tea is good. Crows are born with tea seeds, so they are famous crows in the same mountain. Focus on the first gun flag and use it to wear the haze.
Although Jiangnan is rich, it is not everywhere. Delicate as a sparrow's tongue, it is more fragrant than the tender buds exposed outside after frying. Actually, it was baked with green glaze, and the wine yarn was not spilled. Ruicaokui is a famous ancient tea with a long history of more than 1000 years.
Langxi, the largest green tea production base in China, has an endless sea of tea, which is lush and full of green, reflecting the spectacular and beautiful sea of tea in the south of the Yangtze River. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, the tea garden will smell of green tea, and the girls picking tea will hum beautiful southern Anhui folk songs and pick green and tender tea. The tea garden is connected with the rippling lake, and the green mountains and green tea set off the scenery of water and sky. Under the irradiation of the sunset glow, a beautiful picture of Jiangnan is displayed in front of us. Walking in the fresh air and fragrant tea garden in the morning, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of nature as long as you can see it, and the refreshing tea fragrance makes people full of energy. This tea town has all the wealth and spirit of Jiangnan water town. A long time ago, there was no rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers and lakes dried up, and an oolong was trapped on the lake of Gaocao. One day, the jellyfish queen passed by, and Oolong begged her to be kind and save her life before she died. Seeing this, the jellyfish queen felt pity and promised to set up a water dragon array to save Oolong and return to the East China Sea. The jellyfish empress shook her sleeves, threw a white gauze mixed with the sky, and built a platform more than ten feet high. When her hands closed, colorful Xiangyun gently put her on the platform. With a shake of his left hand, he lit a wick and made three obeisances to the east, only to see the bottom of Gaocao Lake suddenly rolling in the mist. Just then, Sun Wuzi, the king of thunder and Mars, led his daughter-in-law through here because of something. He saw the jellyfish empress wearing gauze on her shoulders, bare back, and doing something. She became curious, turned into a mouse, got into the audience and peeked at the jellyfish queen's face. According to the dogma, peeking at the fairy family is a crime of physical assault. Sun Wuzi thought he would be fine as long as he was not found. The jellyfish empress shook the sleeve of her right hand again, and a bowl of fairy water appeared in her hand. The fairy water poured into the audience like a waterfall, and the white waves rolled into Gaocao Lake. At this time, I only listened to the audience "Ouch!" With a loud cry, a big mouse rolled in the water wave and showed its original shape. The jellyfish queen was dismayed to see that it was Sun Wuzi. By this time, the law had been broken, the water had stopped flowing, and only half of the lake was filled. The water flowed out slowly along the stream under the lake. Wherever the water goes, the hay turns green, and the dried fish and shrimp in the river ditch gradually revive. Oolong was about to soar with the help of the water head, but the water was cut off. It suddenly fell, and its head became the peak of the endless mountain, ending in Gaocao Lake. It left a legend that "the sky opens and the plains grow, and the earth becomes a dry lake". Empress Jellyfish packed her musical instruments and returned to the Heavenly Palace to complain angrily. At this time, Sun Wuzi knew that the great event was bad and violated the dogma, which was bound to be devastated. I was so anxious that I called my daughter-in-law, Miao Tianxiang, and said, "Your father and I committed an overwhelming crime and were born to die. Only you can save me now. " "How can I save you?" "I broke the dogma. Lei Gong won't hit you. I'll become a jujube at once. You put me in your mouth. When Lei Gong leaves, you spit me out again, and I can escape this robbery. " After saying this, it turned into a huge jujube. Miao Tianxiang picked it up as soon as she imported it. The eastern sky thundered and thundered, and dark clouds rolled in. There was a loud click, and Miao Tianxiang was too scared to open her mouth. Not good! Swallowed this "public dad" into his stomach. After the lightning and thunder, calm was restored. Miao Tianxiang was in a state of panic at this moment and walked not far along Gaocao Lake. Suddenly, she thought that Gongpa would be bored in her stomach for a long time, so she had to let Gongpa come out quickly, so she opened her mouth and spit out a jujube pit. I think this must be my grandfather. His meat has been digested by me, leaving only this bone. ? Sad and scared, she dug a hole by the ditch with her hand, buried the jujube pit and knocked three heads on the ground. Strange to say, saplings grow in this jujube pit, which grows into a big jujube tree in the blink of an eye and will bear fruit after flowering. This fruit looks exactly like the fruit that my father turned into. It is big and bright. ? Miao Tianxiang thought that this jujube must be born by my father-in-law, and I will be filial to him. So I built a small hut next to this jujube tree and began to guard this "sacred tree". When she is thirsty, she will drink the fairy water in the stream. When she is hungry, she will choose a few such dates to satisfy her hunger. After eating a jujube, she will bury the jujube pit in the soil and grow a new jujube tree. Year after year, it has become a jujube forest. Miao Tianxiang's husband Sun Su is in charge of managing the back garden of the Jade Emperor. When he heard that something seemed to have happened to his father and wife, he had not seen his wife and father for more than ten days. He was very worried and went out to look for them. Sun Su found his father and daughter-in-law in the area of Gaocao Lake in Dian Mu, so he quickly asked the Jade Emperor for leave and came to Gaocao Lake. When he saw Miao Tianxiang picking dates, he went forward and wept bitterly. After learning of his father's misfortune, Sun Su asked his wife to go back to Heaven with him. Miao Tianxiang said with a wry smile, "I can't go back. I want to protect this jujube forest until someone takes over. " Sun Su said helplessly, "All right! I will also guard with you! " After that, it turned into a bee and made a big hive under the jujube tree. Since then, bees go out to collect flowers and make honey every day, and Tianxiang cooks dates with honey juice to make candied dates. Before every cooking date, she would dig out the jujube pit and replant it, thinking that the jujube pit was the father and could not be scalded with boiling water. Peeled dates are watered with honey, kneaded flat, dried and eaten. I don't know how many years later, there was another drought, the rivers cracked and the victims fled. After Cang Xie, Hou Po came here from Henan with his family, wife and children. Hope saw that crops and plants in other places had dried up, and the flowers and plants in this river were lush. He thought it must be a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Further on, I found a stream, gurgling water. Hope's family planned to settle here and found a flat land. The family began to cut down trees and grow grass, build two huts and settle down. The next day, in order to understand the surrounding environment, Hou Po ordered some wild animals, with a steel fork in her hand and a cloth bag tied around her waist, and went up the stream alone. Not far away, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to the stone platform in front of me, squeezing something. At this time, a fragrant smell deeply attracted Hou Po, so she went forward and bowed down and asked, "Elder sister, what are you squeezing?" "candied dates." Tianxiang agreed without looking up. Hope asked again, "Why do you live alone in this remote ravine?" "Waiting for someone." "I just came here, too, and we will be neighbors in the future. What is your name, please? " "Tianxiang." The middle-aged woman's lukewarm attitude, Hou Po can't say anything more, she is preparing to move on. "Stop and take all these candied dates away! This is all for you. " Hope is ecstatic, thank him! He has been swallowed up by this Huang Chengcheng, transparent and delicious jujube, because he was embarrassed to ask for it when he met for the first time. He quickly took off his small cloth bag, put all the candied dates on the stone platform in, thanked him again and again and ran back to the hut. After telling his mother and family what he had just met, he took a handful of candied dates from his pocket and let his mother taste them first. Hou's mother pinched them with candied dates. They were soft and soft. When she smelled them, Qing Xiang smelled them and tasted them in her mouth. They are sweet and tender. The old lady praised again and again: "delicious! Delicious! This is really a magical fruit! "I ate three pills in a row. Surprisingly, the old lady's white hair gradually turned into black hair, and her hazy eyes became bright and refreshed, which surprised the whole family. Hope suddenly realized, "I met a fairy!" " "Hou Mu said," Son! Why don't you thank the fairy who gave us the fairy fruit! "Hou Po quickly turned around and came to the stone stage again, but there was no sign of the fairy, so he had to kowtow several times in front of the stone stage. It turns out that Miao Tianxiang and his wife have vowed that they will not leave here until someone comes here, and Hou Po is the new owner here. Sun Su left a group of bees and returned to the Heavenly Palace with Miao Tianxiang. In the evening, Miao Tianxiang and Funnel had a dream together, and explained some jujube tree management and techniques for making jujube trees. In addition, when Hou Po returned to her home, she enshrined the candied dates given by Tianxiang at home, offered incense and bowed down every day, and began to manage the jujube garden. During the harvest season, his wife and children help to pick dates, wash and cook them with fairies in Gaocao Lake, and size them with collected honey. Hou Po taught his wife and children to knead dates like fairies, dry them on the fairy stone platform and store them. If the family can't finish it, they will take it to the market to sell. When Hope got old, he passed on his craft to his son and daughter. He lived to 105, and his mother lived to 99. The production technology of candied dates has been passed down from generation to generation. There are more and more jujube trees and the village is getting bigger and bigger. Later, people called this village "Hou Village". In order to commemorate their ancestors, Hou Shi's descendants named the dates with honey after removing the stone as "Tianxiang", which is yellow and transparent, and the dates with stone can be seen from the outside as "amber". In practice, jujube people have created new varieties of candied dates, such as "jujube king, noodles, orchids and super eggs". Houcun jujube is famous for its unique aura, and many officials regard it as a gift and a gift to please their superiors. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, beating and dancing all the way, and the concubines spoiled and asked the emperor for local specialties to satisfy their appetite. Gan Long asked the officials and eunuchs around him, "It is said that Jiangnan is a beautiful place with outstanding people. Do you know anything delicious here? " Li Gonggong hurried forward and replied, "Long live the sovereign! I heard that the candied dates in Houcun, Jianping County are quite good. " "oh! Then you go and get some for me to taste. " "Hey!" Early the next morning, Jianping county magistrate came to pay tribute to the emperor with the best "Tianxiang" and "Amber". The emperor looked at the candied dates in front of him and took one and ate it. He said, "You all say this candied date is delicious, but I think it's just so-so!" Grandfather Li, who stood by, said, "Your Majesty, you just ate a little too fast. You should taste it slowly. " "That's because I ate too much!" "I dare not." The emperor stretched himself, took one and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully. "Well ... very good! Not bad! It is really delicious. I ate a lot of delicacies, but this date is different. Where is it made? " Magistrate Lu quickly knelt down and said, "Long live! It is a specialty of my Jianping. " "well! Jianping candied dates are particularly famous. " The clerk in the entourage immediately wrote down this sentence of the emperor. Later, in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong, Hu Wenquan recorded such a sentence in the "Records of Guangdezhou": "Jianping candied dates are especially famous and specially written."
