2, Sichuan, Yanwu's "Rizhilu" in the Qing Dynasty: "After Qin people took Shu, they had a drink." It means that before Qin people came to Sichuan, there was a history of drinking tea in today's Sichuan area. Sichuan in China also belongs to the southwest of China. If Sichuan's statement is correct, then Southwest's statement is more accurate. Although Sichuan's statement is more accurate than Yunnan's, it still has certain risks.
However, Yunnan believes that tea originated in Xishuangbanna, because this area is the kingdom of plants. It is entirely possible to say that there are native tea trees there, but tea trees are not tea culture, which is risky in terms of "humanity".
4. East Sichuan and West Hubei, Lu Yu's "Tea Classic": "Bashan Xia Chuan embraced each other." Bashan Gorge and Sichuan here are just like eastern Sichuan and western Hubei today. Since there are such excellent tea trees in this area, has anyone used them as tea? I didn't see any evidence. So this statement can't be established.
5. Tea industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the most developed area in China, but it cannot be proved that it is the origin of tea. It has been suggested that some tea trees may not have developed into the custom of drinking tea, which started from the ancient Yue culture represented by Hemudu culture. So there are still great doubts.
6. Tea culture is closely related to Chinese medicine. There was a word "tea medicine" in the Tang Dynasty, and "tea is medicine" has been recorded in "Shanjia Qing Palace" in the Song Dynasty. Tea was called materia medica in ancient times and recorded in medical books.
7. Tea has many functions. It can prevent and treat various internal, external and gynecological diseases. In the Tang Dynasty, Chen Zangqi emphasized that "tea is the medicine for all diseases". Tea not only has the function of treating many diseases, but also can be used as a health drink to prolong life.
