Giving death to the original aroma of the language, but also early picking while the equinoxes
On the history of Biluochun, the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yingkui in the "Liunan renewed pen" has a narrative, quite interesting. "Liu Nan renewed pen" Dai: "Dongting East Mountain Biluo Peak stone wall production of wild tea plants, every year, the natives will return to the bamboo baskets, for daily use. Calendar decades as such, did not see the difference. Kangxi a year, according to the waiting to pick, because of its leaf more, the basket is not enough to store, because the place between the arms, the tea is hot, the fragrance of the sudden hair, the tea pickers called "giggling brake people incense". Giggling brake people incense, meaning that this tea is particularly fragrant, fragrant people, Wuzhong dialect, so also known as tea clouds. Since then, every value of tea pickers, regardless of men and women, young and old, do not bathe and dress, storage without baskets, all placed between the arms. And the native Zhu Yuanzheng only refined system, the law from his family, especially known as a wonderful product, each catty worth three taels. Heimao years (A.D. 1699) thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, the car driving the Taihu Lake, Song Gong (refers to the governor of Song Rong) to buy this tea into the name on the indecent, because of Biluo Peak for the name, give the title of the tea as "Biluochun". Since then, Biluochun was named, famous, passed down to this day.
According to the "Qing Historical Examination" records, the Kangxi Emperor had seven times south to Suzhou, some of the southern tour of the river, some go to Hangzhou, etc., passing through Suzhou in Taihu Lake, Tianchi Mountain, etc., Kangxi toured to Suzhou, Suzhou, Suzhou, the local officials offered local tea giggling incense, Kangxi is quite literate, think the name of its name is not elegant, because of the title of Biluochun for the name of the tea, which is entirely possible, the storyline can also be logical.
Biluochun on the origin, there is a folk legend. It is said that there is a fisherman's girl in Dongting, named Biluo. Biluo girl once picked her made of spring tea, healed a young man who was injured for saving her. Biluo girl wonderful hands back to spring, and thus the tea named Biluochun.
The former had a poem in praise of Biluochun, poem: never Juan things have a good name, things to the name of the more precious. Plum Sheng said every Xiangxuehai, tea tip said Biluochun. Known roasting spread three places, happy to praise to the Beijing. Giggling and the original fragrance of people boasted, but also must be picked early while the equinox. The poem so-called, there is a certain scientific reasoning, in particular: "giggle death of human fragrance original qua language, but also early picking while the equinox". Early picking tender picking is a major feature of Bi Luochun. Biluochun picking especially tender, when the buds first show a bud and a leaf in a timely manner, senior Biluochun, not only beautiful appearance, but also excellent quality. It is:
Giving brake people incense original quarto, but also must be early to take advantage of the equinoxes,
Copper wire spiral mixed body hair, flowers and fruits twice the taste of the body to be born Jin.
Biluochun legend
Jiangsu Taihu Lake, Dongting Mountain, produces a kind of "copper wire, spiral shape, covered with hair, scaring brake incense" tea, called "Biluochun". According to the Qing Wang Yankui "Liu Nan Suibi" contained: "Dongting Mountain Biluo Peak stone wall production of wild tea, the first did not see the difference. Kangxi a year, according to the waiting and picking, the basket is not enough to load, because of the pocket, the tea to get hot, the fragrance suddenly, the picker called the scary death of people incense. Frightening people Wu vulgar dialect, and then thought of the name. Since then the natives picking tea, all placed between the arms, and Zhu Yuanzheng home made unique fine, especially high value. Jin Mao, the car driving lucky Taihu Lake, renamed Biluochun."
Talking about the origin of Biluochun tea, there are two moving folklore.
One is that legend has it that a long time ago, West Dongting Mountain lived a beautiful, hard-working, kind girl named Bi Luo. The girl likes to sing, and has a set of clear and mellow voice, singing like a sweet spring straight down, making everyone very happy. This song impressed a young man named Ah Xiang from Dong Dong Ting Mountain, which is across the water. This AXIANG looks stout, strong, martial arts, to fishing for a living, upright, and helpful, dozens of miles around, people praise him, love him. Biluo often in the lake net singing, A Xiang old in the lake boat fishing, although the two have not had the opportunity to pour out their adoration, but the heart has been y in love, the townspeople are also very fond of these two people, because they give the townspeople to bring happiness and joy.
One year in early spring, disaster suddenly struck Taihu Lake. A fierce and cruel dragon appeared in the lake, causing storms and rains, and threatening to make the girl Biluo his "Lady of Taihu", which made the people of Taihu Lake have no peace day and night. A-Xiang is determined to fight the evil dragon to the death to protect the lives of the people in Dongting Mountain and also to protect his beloved Miss Biluo from the evil! On a moonless night, AXIANG picked up a big fishing fork and quietly sneaked to the western Dongting Mountain. Seeing that the evil dragon was resting proudly after committing the crime, AXIANG took advantage of its surprise and ran forward, and with all his strength, he stabbed the dragon in the back with the fishing fork in his hand. The dragon was seriously injured, and after struggling for a while, it opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Ah Xiang with more ferocity. A Xiang held up the fishing fork bravely to meet the battle, so a vicious battle was launched, from night to daybreak, from daybreak and kill to the night, kill the sky dark, the ground shaking, the mountain, the lake left spots of blood, until the fight for seven days and seven nights, A Xiang's harpoon only pierced into the dragon's throat, both sides are seriously injured, exhausted, the dragon's claws can not be picked up, and the A Xiang harpoon can not be lifted, fell into a pool of blood and fainted, and the dragon was seriously injured, exhausted, and the dragon was seriously injured. He fell into a pool of blood and fainted.
The townspeople with deep gratitude and reverence, to pick up A Xiang back, Bi Luo girl look at the heart like a knife, in order to repay A Xiang life-saving thoughts, she asked to carry A Xiang into their own homes, by her personal care. Biluo girl for his treatment by all means, day and night accompanied by the bedside, carefully take care of, when AXIANG pain, but also gently humming the most beautiful song. However, A-Xiang's injuries continued to worsen day by day. He knew that the girl was by his side day and night, and felt a great sense of relief. He had a lot of things to say to the girl, but his weak body made him unable to speak, and he could only gaze at the girl with infinite gratitude.
The Biluo girl is even more anxious, she in the townspeople's help, visit the doctor for medicine, but still not effective. One day, the girl looked for herbs to the place where Ah Xiang and the evil dragon fought, and suddenly saw a small tea tree grows particularly well, thought: this is the witness of the fight between Ah Xiang and the evil dragon, it should be cultivated, so that people in the future will know how Ah Xiang is in order to the people to live a stable and happy life at the expense of blood sacrifice! Then she added some fertilizer to the little tea tree and cultivated some soil. After that, she went to see it every day. Just after the hibernation, many buds grew on the tree, full of spring, very lovely, in the cold temperature, Bi Luo was afraid that the buds would freeze, so she used her little mouth to hold the buds, and so she went to hold them again every morning. Around the time of the Qingming Festival, the buds first blossomed and extended their first and second leaves. The girl looked at these tender green buds and leaves and said to herself, "This tea tree is nourished by the blood of A-like, and it is contained in my singing mouth, so why don't I pick some and give them back to A-Xiang to drink, and also express my feelings." So I picked a handful of young tips, put them in my pocket, and went home to make a cup of tea for Ah Xiang. Strangely enough, as soon as the tea was poured into the boiling water, there was a pure and fragrant aroma that penetrated his heart and soul, and A-Xiang was so energized by the smell that he drank all the tea in one gulp. The fragrant, steaming hot vegetable soup seemed to have penetrated into every pore of his body, and he felt indescribably comfortable. He tried to lift his hands and stretch his legs, and said in amazement, "It's strange! I can practically sit up! What kind of medicine is this? It's even better than an elixir." Seeing this, the girl was so happy that her tears flowed, and she didn't have time to take the bamboo basket, ran to the tea tree, picked a handful of young buds in one breath, put them into her chest, and used her own body heat to make the buds and leaves wilt, and then took them out and rubbed them gently at home, and then brewed them for A-Xiang to drink. After a few days of this, Ah-Xiang actually got better day by day. When Ah Xiang finally sat up, he took the girl's hand and told her how much he loved and appreciated her, and the girl shyly told her how much she respected and loved Ah Xiang. Xiang was saved, and a heavy stone fell from the girl's heart. While the two of them were intoxicated with the happiness of love, Biluo's body could no longer hold out, and her emaciated face was devoid of any color, and one day she collapsed into Ah Xiang's arms with a sweet and happy smile, and could no longer open her eyes. A-Xiang was devastated, so he buried the girl next to the tea tree in Dongting Mountain. From then on, he worked hard to multiply and cultivate the tea trees, and picked the famous tea. In order to honor the Biluo girl, people named this valuable tea "Biluochun".
The second is to say that a long time ago, the East Dongting Moli Peak has a strange aroma, people mistakenly believe that there are evil spirits, do not dare to go up the mountain. One day, there is a bold and brave, stubborn girl to Moli bee firewood, just walked to the halfway point of the mountainside, did smell a fragrance, she also felt surprised, towards the top of the mountain to watch, look at it did not find any strange monsters, for the curiosity of the drive, she took the risk of climbing up the cliffs, came to the top of the mountain peaks, only to see in the stone continued to grow a few green tea trees, a burst of fragrance seems to be issued from the trees. She approached the tea tree, picked some buds and leaves in the bad, down the mountain, who knew that all the way to go, the arms of the tea leaves all the way to emit a strong aroma, and the more you go, the stronger the aroma, the aroma of this foreign incense incense to some of her drowsiness. When she returned home, feeling tired and thirsty, she took out the tea leaves from her bosom and realized that the house was full of fragrance, and the girl exclaimed, "Scary, scary, scary, scary! The girl exclaimed, "I'm shocked, I'm shocked!", as she plucked some leaves from the buds and brewed a cup of tea to drink. When the bowl came to her mouth, the aroma penetrated her heart and soul. When she swallowed one mouthful, her mouth was full of fragrance; when she swallowed two mouthfuls, her throat was moist and her head was clear; when she swallowed three mouthfuls, her fatigue was eliminated. The girl was overjoyed, determined to move the treasure tea tree home to plant. The next day, she brought a hoe, the small tea tree dug up, transplanted in the western cave at the foot of the rocky mountains, to be carefully cultivated. A few years later, the tea tree grows strong and leafy, the fragrance from the tea tree, attracting neighbors near and far, the girl picked the buds and leaves to make tea to entertain everyone, but the buds and leaves are full of hairy, strong flavor, everyone is full of praise, because they asked what kind of tea, the girl casually replied: "Scared of the people incense." From then on, scared of people fragrant tea, gradually introduced breeding, spread throughout the Dongting West Mountain and East Mountain, harvesting and processing technology has been gradually improved, and gradually formed today with "a tender and three fresh" (i.e., tender buds and leaves, color, aroma and taste fresh) characteristics, turquoise and clarified, shaped like a spiral, full of furry Biluochun tea. As for how to change the name to Biluochun to scare people incense? It is said that the emperor down south, tasting this tea, see its fragrant aroma, taste mellow and sweet, turquoise and clear, love, because "scared people incense" tea name is too vulgar, only to give the name "Bi Luochun". Later, because of its shape as a roll of screws, also known as "Biluochun".
