China’s Ten Famous Tea Legends

It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, and watched country girls picking tea to show his understanding of the people's sentiments. On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several country girls picking tea in front of more than a dozen green tea trees. He felt happy and started to pick tea too. As soon as he picked a handful, the eunuch suddenly came to report: "The Queen Mother is sick, please return to the capital as soon as possible." Emperor Qianlong heard that the Queen Mother was sick, so he put a handful of tea leaves into the bag and rushed back to the capital day and night. In fact, the Queen Mother's anger increased temporarily because she ate too much delicacies, her eyes were red and swollen, and her stomach was uncomfortable. She was not seriously ill. At this time, when he saw the emperor coming, he felt a fragrance coming from him, so he asked what good things he had brought. The emperor also felt strange, where did the fragrance come from? He touched it casually, ah, it turned out to be a handful of tea leaves from Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou. It had dried after a few days, and the rich aroma came out of it. The Queen Mother wanted to taste the tea. The maid brewed the tea and brought it to the Queen Mother. Sure enough, the tea was fragrant. The Queen Mother took a sip and her eyes felt much better. After drinking the tea, the redness and swelling disappeared and her stomach was no longer bloated.

The Queen Mother happily said: "The tea from Hangzhou Longjing is really a panacea." Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, Emperor Qianlong immediately sent an order to designate the eighteen tea trees in front of Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou Longjing as imperial tea, and pick new tea every year. Special tribute to the Queen Mother. To this day, these eighteen imperial tea trees are still preserved in front of Hu Gong Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou. Many tourists to Hangzhou make a special trip to visit them and take photos.

Longjing tea (one of the top ten famous teas in China) and Hupao Spring are known as the "two wonders of Hangzhou". How did Hupao Spring come from? It is said that a long time ago there were two brothers, named Dahu and Erhu. The two were extremely powerful. One year they came to Hangzhou and wanted to settle down in the small monastery where Hupao is now. The monk told them that it was difficult to get water here, and they had to climb several ridges to carry water. The brothers said that as long as they could live in it, we would take care of the water carrying, so the monk took them in. One summer, there was a drought and no rain, and the creeks dried up, making it even more difficult to draw water. One day, the brothers remembered the "Tongzi Spring" that wandered across Nanyue Hengshan Mountain. It would be great if the Tongzi Spring could be moved to Hangzhou. The two brothers decided to go to Hengshan Mountain to move Tongzi Spring. They ran all the way and fainted when they reached the foot of Hengshan Mountain. A violent storm broke out. After the wind stopped and the rain subsided, they woke up and saw a child standing in front of them with a willow branch in his hand. , this is the little fairy in charge of "Tongzi Spring". After listening to their story, the little fairy pointed with a willow branch and sprinkled water on them. In an instant, the two brothers turned into two beautiful tigers, and the child jumped on the tiger's back. The tiger looked up to the sky and roared, taking "Tongziquan" straight to Hangzhou. The old monk and the villagers had a dream at night. They dreamed that the big tiger and the second tiger turned into two fierce tigers and moved the "Tongzi Spring" to Hangzhou, so that there would be spring water at dawn. The next day, the sky was filled with rays of light, and two tigers fell from the sky. The tigers dug their front paws into the ground in the bamboo garden next to the temple. After a while, they dug a deep hole. Suddenly, a violent storm came. After the rain stopped, only a deep hole was seen. A clear spring gushes out of the pit, and everyone understands that it must be the spring water brought to them by Dahu and Erhu. In order to commemorate Dahu and Erhu, they named the spring "Tiger Paddle Spring". Later, for the sake of convenience, it was called "Hupao Spring".
