The source of Longjing asks Zi Zhan, and I was born half-Zen.
Spring comes to the stone, tea comes to the peak and tastes the garden;
This idea is cheap, and feelings are just vulgar.
Cai Xiang argues that orchids are expensive, but it is not complete until he reaches Zi Shan.
Longjing is one of the three famous springs in Hangzhou, with sweet water quality. It is also said that Longjing is connected with the sea, and there are dragons in the sea, hence the name "Longjing".
There is another strange thing in Longjing Spring.
The water in Longjing Spring consists of groundwater and surface water. Groundwater has a large proportion, so groundwater is below and surface water is above. When you stir the spring water in a well with a small stick, it is because surface water and underground spring water collide with each other, and the two kinds of water quality are produced because of different specific gravity and flow rate. After the local underground spring sank again, the watershed gradually narrowed and eventually disappeared. This strange natural phenomenon adds a lot of fun to tourists.
Longjing Spring is also surrounded by strange rocks, washing marshes and many scenic spots. To the west of Longjing is Longjing Village, which is surrounded by mountains and produces tea. Surrounded by Longjing, there are thousands of green trees, rugged rocks, towering ancient trees and beautiful natural scenery. The famous West Lake Longjing tea is famous for its green color, rich aroma, mellow taste and beautiful appearance.
Longjing tea area was initially formed. At that time, Xianglin Tea in Xianglin Cave in Lingyin, Baiyun Tea in Bai Yunfeng in Shangzhou and Baoyun Tea in Baoyun Mountain in Geling were listed as tributes. A monk in the Northern Song Dynasty, a master of eloquence, lived in seclusion in his hometown, and it was also the place where he had tea and recited poems with writers such as Su Dongpo at the foot of Lion Peak in Longjing. Su Dongpo praised Longjing tea with the poem "Baiyun Peak has two new flags, the green is long, the fresh valley is rainy and the spring is rainy", and he wrote "Old Longjing" and other plaques in calligraphy, which made him famous from then on. The plaque is still preserved on the hanging rocks at the foot of Lion Peak in Shousheng Temple, Gong Hu Temple and Shibagong Tea Garden. Longjing tea tasting has become a trend in the Northern Song Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once came here, and the old Longjing still has the remains of "eighteen imperial teas". Qianlong also inscribed five characters of "Lake and Mountain" and designated eight scenic spots of Longjing, namely Pavilion, Heart-washing Pool, Yiyun, Fengling, Fiona Fang Temple, Long Hongjian, Shenyun Stone and Cuifeng Pavilion. When Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he went to Youlong Jing Tea Garden, personally picked tea, watched tea farmers stir-fry tea and left poems. He picked eighteen tea trees, which were cultivated by later generations as "eighteen imperial tea trees" and presented to the court as a tribute every year. Now, these eighteen royal tea trees still grow gracefully beside the original Gong Hu Temple in Lion Peak.
In the Qing dynasty, Lord Qianlong even wrote "occasionally sitting in Longjing to make tea", and officially cleared Longjing through the emperor's imperial mouth:
Longjing spring, Longjing new tea, is called cooking.
Inch bud self-decaying rock, baked into Grain Rain before the season.
Why does Phoenix Group boast about imperial tea and talk about how the tongue moistens the heart lotus?
Ready to refute, laugh at me, I am still Zen.
Longjing tea is listed as a tribute and has a long-standing reputation. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty came here to pick and grow tea, and the old Longjing still has the remains of "eighteen imperial teas".
"Dream of West Lake" says: Two Longjings go up and down in Nanshan. On the top is the old Longjing, cold and blue, unusually clear, abandoned in a thin room. People who have never asked. Therefore, the local tea is the masterpiece of two mountains. Go to Tianmen, and you can cross Zhu San. To the south is Jiuxi, the road leads to Xucun, and water flows out of the river.

Its quality characteristics are: flat and beautiful appearance, green color, mellow aroma, mellow inner quality, soaked in a cup, green bud leaves, like water hibiscus, lifelike.

Joke: Qianlong stole Longjing:
When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Lion Peak in Longjing Village, Hangzhou in incognito. When the old monk of Gong Hu Temple accompanied Emperor Qianlong on a mountain tour, he suddenly saw several village girls happily picking new buds from eighteen tea trees in front of the temple. Unconsciously, they quickly walked into the tea garden and learned to pick tea. Just picked it for a while, suddenly a eunuch came to report in secret: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is ill, please return to Beijing at once." Qianlong was worried when he heard that the queen mother was ill. He immediately put the tea buds in his hand into a bag and went back to Beijing day and night to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
In fact, the queen mother is not seriously ill, but she is angry, her eyes are red and swollen, and her stomach is uncomfortable. Suddenly, when I saw the arrival of the emperor, my mood improved, and I felt a faint fragrance coming on my face. I asked, "What good things did the emperor bring back from Hangzhou, so fragrant?" Emperor Qianlong was also surprised. I came back without anything. Where did I get the fragrance? Smell it carefully, it does have a strong fragrance, and it comes from the bag. He touched it casually, and it turned out to be a handful of tea from Gong Hu Temple in Longjing Village, Hangzhou. After a few days, it dried up and gave off a strong aroma. The queen mother wanted to try this kind of tea, and the maid-in-waiting served it. Sure enough, it is mellow, full of saliva after drinking, and the aftertaste is mellow and refreshing. After 3 cups, the eye swelling subsided and the stomach was comfortable. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi had a coke and called Hangzhou Longjing tea a panacea.
Emperor Qianlong was so happy to see the Empress Dowager, and he smiled happily himself. He sent someone to hand-pick eighteen tea trees and seal them in front of Gong Hu Temple at the foot of Lion Peak in Longjing, Hangzhou. As the imperial tea, they were specially picked every year and dedicated to the Empress Dowager. Since then, Longjing Tea has become more and more famous. This "Royal Tea Garden" has been preserved to this day and has become a unique tourist attraction.
