Legend has it that when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, and watched the country girls pick tea to show their feelings. On this day, Emperor Qianlong saw several country girls picking tea in front of more than ten shady tea stands, which made him happy and learned to pick it. Just picked one, suddenly the eunuch came to report: "The Queen Mother is ill, please hurry back to Beijing." When Emperor Qianlong heard that the Empress Dowager was ill, he put a handful of tea into the bag and went back to Beijing day and night. In fact, the Queen Mother was not seriously ill because she ate too much delicacies, and her anger rose for a while, her eyes were red and swollen, and her stomach was unwell. At this time, seeing the arrival of the emperor's son, I felt a faint fragrance coming and asked what good things I had brought. The emperor was surprised, too. Where did the fragrance come from? He touched it casually. Ah, it turned out to be a handful of tea in Shifengshan, Hangzhou. After a few days, it had dried up, and the rich aroma came out. The Queen Mother wanted to taste the tea. The maid-in-waiting made the tea and sent it to the Queen Mother. Sure enough, the fragrance was fragrant. The Queen Mother took a sip and her eyes were much more comfortable. After drinking the tea, the redness disappeared and her stomach did not swell. The queen mother said happily, "The tea of Longjing in Hangzhou is really a panacea." Emperor Qianlong was so happy to see the Queen Mother, so he immediately gave orders to seal the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple under Shifengshan Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou as imperial tea, and picked new tea every year to pay tribute to the Queen Mother. Up to now, these eighteen imperial teas are still preserved in front of Hugong Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou, and many tourists in Hangzhou have made a special trip to visit and take photos as a souvenir.

Longjing Tea (one of China's top ten famous teas) and Tiger Running Spring are known as "Hangzhou's two wonders". How did Tiger Running Spring come from? It is said that there were two brothers a long time ago. The elder brother was named Dahu and Erhu. Two people have great manpower. One year, they came to Hangzhou and wanted to settle down in the small temple where Tigers are now running. The monk told them that it was difficult to draw water here, and they had to cross several ridges to carry water. The brothers said that as long as they could live, we would take care of carrying water, so the monk took in the brothers. One summer, there was no rain, and the stream dried up, making it more difficult to draw water. One day, the two brothers remembered the "Tongziquan" that wandered through Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. If only they could move Tongziquan to Hangzhou. The two brothers decided to go to Hengshan and move to Tongziquan. They rushed all the way and fainted when they reached the foot of Hengshan. After the storm broke out and the wind stopped raining, they woke up and saw a child with a willow branch in front of them. This is the fairy who manages the Tongziquan. After listening to their story, the fairy pointed at them with a willow branch, and water spilled on them. In an instant, the two brothers became two colorful tigers, and the child jumped on the back of the tiger. The tiger roared to the sky and went straight to Hangzhou with the "Boy Spring". The old monk and the villagers had a dream at night, dreaming that the big tiger and the second tiger turned into two tigers and moved the "Tongziquan" to Hangzhou. At dawn, there was a spring water. The next day, the sky was full of sunshine, and two tigers descended from the sky. The tigers were digging the ground in the bamboo garden next to the temple, and soon they dug a deep pit. Suddenly, the storm was raging, and after the rain stopped, they saw a clear spring pouring out of the deep pit. Everyone understood that it must be the spring water brought to them by the big tiger and the second tiger. To commemorate the Great Tiger and the Second Tiger, they named the spring "Tiger Planing Spring". Later, for the sake of fluency, it was called "Tiger Running Spring". Soaking Longjing tea in Tiger Run Spring is excellent in color and fragrance. Today, you can taste this "double unique" drink in Tiger Run Tea Room.

2. Frozen top oolong tea

It is said that Taiwan Province Frozen Top Oolong Tea was developed by a Taiwan Province man named Lin Fengchi who brought tea seedlings from Wuyishan, Fujian to Taiwan Province for planting. Lin Fengchi's ancestral home is Fujian. One year, he heard that Fujian would hold an imperial examination and wanted to take it, but his family was poor and had no money. Villagers have donated money. When he left, the villagers said to him, "When you arrive in Fujian, you should say hello to the villagers of our ancestral home, saying that our Taiwan Province villagers miss them very much." Lin Fengchi passed the juren examination. After several years, she decided to go back to Taiwan Province to visit relatives. By the way, she brought 36 oolong tea seedlings back to Taiwan Province and planted them on the frozen top mountain in Lugu Township, Nantou. After careful cultivation and propagation, a tea garden was built, and the collected tea was fragrant and delicious. Later, Lin Fengchi went to Beijing on orders. He dedicated this tea to Emperor Daoguang, who praised the good tea after drinking it. Because this tea is harvested in Taiwan Province's Frozen Top Mountain, it is called Frozen Top Tea. From then on, Taiwan Province Oolong Tea was also called "Frozen Top Oolong Tea".

One night, A Xiang picked up a fishing fork and dived into the West Dongting Mountain to fight the dragon. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, both sides were exhausted and A Xiang fainted in a pool of blood. In order to repay Ah Xiang for saving her life, Miss Biluo took care of Ah Xiang herself. But Xiang's injury is getting worse day by day. One day, the girl came to the place where A Xiang fought with the dragon, and suddenly saw a small tea tree growing very well. She thought: This is the witness of A Xiang fighting with the dragon, and it should be cultivated well. Before and after the Qingming Festival, the small tea tree grew green buds, and Biluo picked a tender tip and went home to brew it for A Xiang. Strange to say, Xiang got better every day after drinking this tea. A Xiang was saved, and the heavy stone in the girl's heart fell to the ground. Just as the two were intoxicated with the happiness of love, Biluo's body could no longer support, and she fell into Ah Xiang's arms and could no longer open her eyes. A Xiang was heartbroken and buried the girl next to the tea tree in Dongting Mountain. Since then, he has worked hard to cultivate tea trees and collect famous teas.

A long time ago, Chen Guqiu, a Beijing tea merchant, studied with a tea tasting master what kind of tea northerners like to drink. Chen Guqiu suddenly remembered that a southern girl had given him a packet of tea that had not been tasted, so she found it and asked the master to taste it. When brewing, when the lid of the bowl is opened, it smells strange. Then, in the rising heat of Ran Ran, I saw a beautiful girl holding a bunch of jasmine flowers in both hands, and soon it turned into a hot air. Chen Guqiu was puzzled and asked the master. The master said, "This tea is the best in tea". Chen Guqiu remembered the experience of going to the south to buy tea and stay in an inn three years ago and meeting a lonely girl. The girl complained that her father's body was parked at home and there was no money for funeral. Chen Guqiu was deeply sympathetic in late autumn and took some money to her. Three years later, when he went to the south again this spring, the inn owner handed him this small packet of tea, saying that it was delivered by the girl three years ago. It was not brewed at that time, but it was a treasure. "Why does she hold jasmine alone?" The two men brewed it again, and the girl with jasmine in her hand appeared again. While sipping tea, Chen Gulai realized, "In my opinion, this is tea fairy's suggestion that jasmine can be used in tea." The following year, jasmine was added to tea, and since then, there has been a new kind of jasmine tea (one of the top ten famous teas).

Seeing that it was like a fairyland, the mother and son stayed. One day, my mother fell ill because of old age and fatigue. Mao Yi looked around for medicine. One day, Mao Yi dreamed of a fairy with white hair and silver beard. The fairy told him, "To cure your mother's illness, you must use carp with fresh tea, both of which are indispensable." Mao Yi thinks it must be the guidance of the immortal. At this time, it was the cold winter season. Mao Yi went to the pond to catch carp with ice, but where to pick new tea in winter? When we were in trouble, the eighteen peonies turned into eighteen immortals tea, and the trees were covered with fresh green leaves. Mao Yi immediately picked it and dried it.

The three agreed to take turns to find Xiancao. On this day, eldest brother came to the foot of the Donggong Mountain. At this time, an old man came out of the roadside and told him that Xiancao was next to Longjing on the mountain. When going up the mountain, he could only go forward and not look back, otherwise he could not pick Xiancao.

Looking into the cup again, the tea leaves in the cup are all hanging upright, just like a group of bamboo shoots that have broken ground. After a while, it slowly sinks again, just like snowflakes falling. Mingzong felt very strange and asked the courtiers what the reason was. The courtiers replied, "This is because the white crane spring (that is, Liu Yijing) in Junshan is soaked with yellow feathers (that is, silver needle tea)." Mingzong was very happy and immediately decided to make Junshan Silver Needle a "tribute tea". When Junshan silver needle is brewed, the tea buds stand in the cup, which is very beautiful.

The legend of the origin of Dahongpao is very good. It is said that in ancient times, a poor scholar went to Beijing to take the exam. When passing Wuyi Mountain, he fell ill on the road. Fortunately, he was seen by the old abbot of Tianxin Temple and made him a bowl of tea. Sure enough, he recovered. Later, to be no.1, a scholar, won the top prize and was recruited as the East Bed Xu. One spring day, the champion came to Wuyishan to give thanks. Accompanied by the old abbot, he was crowding round and arrived in Jiulong. But he saw three tall tea trees growing on the cliff, with lush foliage and clusters of buds, shining purple in the sun. It was lovely. The old abbot said that last year you suffered from bloating, and it was this kind of tea that cured you. A long time ago, whenever tea trees germinated in spring, they would drum and call a group of monkeys, put on red clothes, climb the cliff to pick tea leaves, fry them and collect them, which could cure all diseases. The champion listened to the request and made a box of tribute to the emperor. The next day, the temple burned incense, lit candles, beat drums and rang bells, summoned monks and nuns, and set out for Kowloon. Everyone came to the tea tree to burn incense and worship, shouting "tea sprouts!" " Then pick the bud leaves, make them carefully and put them into a tin box. After the champion brought tea to Beijing, he was in bed with the queen's stomachache and bloating. The champion immediately offered tea for the queen to take, and sure enough, the tea was gone. The emperor was overjoyed and gave a Dahongpao to the champion, asking him to raise a reward in Wuyishan on his behalf. Along the way, the salute rang and the fire candle was brightly lit. When we arrived at Jiulong Pavilion, the champion ordered a woodcutter to climb halfway up the mountain and put the Dahongpao given by the emperor on the tea tree to show his gratitude. Strange to say, when Dahongpao was opened, the bud leaves of three tea trees flashed red in the sun, and everyone said it was Dahongpao's red. Later, people called these three tea trees "Dahongpao". Someone also carved the three characters "Dahongpao" on the stone wall. Since then, Dahongpao has become a tribute tea year after year.

After the tea is made, it tastes sweet and refreshing, and the spirit does it one brace up. Wei thinks this is the king of tea, so he digs this tea home to breed.

During the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Kaiyuan, the new county magistrate of yi county in the south of the Yangtze River, took extremely young people to Huangshan for a spring outing, got lost, met an old monk with a bamboo basket on his waist, and spent the night in a temple. When the elder made tea to honor the guests, the magistrate of a county looked closely at the tea, which was yellowish in color, shaped like a sparrow's tongue, covered in white hair, and brewed with boiling water. I saw that the hot air turned around the edge of the bowl, went straight up to the center of the bowl, was about a foot high, and then turned into a Bai Lianhua in the air. The Bai Lianhua rose slowly and turned into a cloud, and finally dispersed into plumes of hot air, and the fragrance filled the room. When the magistrate asked, he found out that the name of this tea was Huangshan Mao Feng. When he left, the elder presented this tea with a bag of Huangshan spring water and a gourd, and told him that it must be brewed with this spring water to make the white lotus wonder appear. When Xiong Zhi returned to the county government, he met an old classmate and old friend, Taiping Zhi-xian, who visited him, so he made a performance in Mao Feng, Huangshan Mountain. The magistrate of Taiping County was very surprised, and later came to the capital to report to the emperor, and wanted to offer immortal tea for a reward. The emperor gave orders to perform in the palace, but there was no wonder of the white lotus. The emperor was furious, and the magistrate of Taiping had to truthfully say that it was presented by Xiong Kaiyuan, a magistrate of yi county. The emperor immediately ordered Xiong Kaiyuan to enter the palace for trial. After Xiong Kaiyuan entered the palace, he knew that he had not brewed with Huangshan spring water, explained the reason and asked to go back to Huangshan for water. Xiong magistrate came to Huangshan to meet the elder, who delivered the mountain spring to him. In front of the emperor, the Huangshan Mao Feng brewed the jade cup again. Sure enough, there was a spectacle of white lotus. The emperor smiled at it and said to Xiongzhi County, "I think you have made meritorious service in offering tea and promoted you to the governor of Jiangnan. Let's take office in three days." Xiong magistrate of a county felt a thousand things in his heart, and thought to himself, "Huangshan famous tea is still of high quality, let alone being a human being?" So he took off his official jade belt and came to Huang Shanyun Valley Temple to become a monk, and his dharma name was Zhengzhi. Now, on the roadside under Yungu Temple, where pines enter the clouds and bamboo trees are built, there is a site of the tomb tower of Master Ber 'an, which is said to be the tomb of Zhengzhi monk.
