Tracing the tea history of Shuangjing Green Tea

Shuangjing green tea is produced in Shuangjing Village, Xiushui County. The "Tea Book" written by Mao Wenxi of the Fifth Dynasty records: Hongzhou Shuangjing white buds are extremely finely produced. The famous poet Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty loved Shuangjing tea from his hometown very much. He often gave Shuangjing tea to his friends Ouyang Xiu, Su Dongpo, Sima Guang, etc., and wrote poems to praise it. Ouyang Xiu also praised it as the No. 1 herbal tea in the country in "Guitian Lu". Later, the quality of Shuangjing tea continued to improve. In 1985, it won the title of high-quality famous tea.

"Guitian Lu"

Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty

The water in the Xijiang River is clear and the old stone in the river is clear.

The tea growing on the stone is like a chicken's claw.

The weather is not cold but the spring air is early,

The buds in Shuangjing are the first to grow hundreds of herbs.

Shuangjing green tea has a history of thousands of years and is produced in Shuangjing Village, the hometown of Northern Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian and "Ten Miles of Beautiful Water" in Hangkou Township, Xiushui, Jiangxi. Xiushui belonged to Hongzhou in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Mao Wenxi's "Tea Book" written in about 935 AD stated: "The white buds in Shuangjing in Hongzhou are extremely fine in production." It was listed as a tribute in the Song Dynasty.

Shuangjing tea from my hometown in the valley,

One sip will take three days to praise.

Warm water and spring light moisten the border with rain,

New branches and old branches sprout.

This is a poem written by Huang Shanshangu (also known as Tingjian), a poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, praising the Shuangjing tea produced in his hometown. Friends often praise his poems. Huang Tingjian said in the poem "Shuangjing Tea Sending Zizhan" (Zizhan is the word of Su Dongpo): "The wind and the sun are not everywhere in the world, and the jade hall in the sky is filled with precious books. I want to see the old layman of Dongpo, swiping hundreds of dendrobium to shed pearls. My family is picking clouds in the south of the Yangtze River. The plumpness is not as good as the falling snow. I evoke the dream of Huangzhou for you, and I carry the boat to the five lakes alone. "Huang Tingjian gave the precious Shuangjing tea to his teacher Su Dongpo, showing his respect for his teacher. In the poem, Su Dongpo admired and admired Su Dongpo very much, saying: "The sky is falling and the snow is falling."

The poem says:

Jiangxia has a unique and unique tea,

Ruyin Praise for the new book on June 1st.

I dare not pay a child servant,

I see that the snow soup produces pearls.

The scholars of the immortals are not fat. p>

Only illness and thirst are the same.

I want to go southeast next year.

Why not stay in Taihu Lake?

The water in Jiangxi is clear and the river is old.< /p>

The tea growing on the stone is like a chicken's claw.

The weather is not cold and the spring air is early.

The buds in Shuangjing are full of white hair follicles. With red green gauze,

Ten pounds of tea can grow one or two buds.

The wealthy and noble family of Chang'an will be praised for three days.

p>

Bao Yun's daily notes are not impeccable,

Fighting for new ones and abandoning old worldly favors

How do you know that a gentleman has constant virtue,

The most valuable thing does not change at any time. .

If you don’t see Jianxi Dragon and Phoenix Group, its fragrance and color will not change.

Ouyang Xiu spoke highly of Shuangjing Tea in this poem. It is believed that the quality of Shuangjing tea is better. First of all, this kind of tea germinates early. "The spring air is early when the weather is poor and not cold." There are a lot of pekoe on the tea leaves, and the tea bags are made of red gauze, which is very pleasing to the eye. The taste of this tea is so good that "the five noble families of Chang'an will be praised for three days after one sip"

< p>Sima Guang also wrote a poem based on "Shuangjing Tea Presented to Fan Jingren", which said:

Spring sleep drives people away without reason,

It drives away the pain of dating.

p>

In order to rely on the power of Hongzhou's real tea,

Try to send Dao Gui to Baogu people.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty also praised Shuangjing tea. It is said: "Xi Gong is called Xi Gong. Around the Tang Dynasty, tea was still popular, and the quality of tea was beneficial to the public. The white color of Shuangjing... was famous for its tea production. "

Liu Guan of the Yuan Dynasty wrote a poem: "I heard in the past that the dragon group in Shuangjing is beautiful, and I can feel the fragrance of Magu milk wine nearby. If I don't get to Hongdu to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I will really regret it when I recite poems." "The poem praises both Shuangjing tea and Magu tea produced in Nancheng, Jiangxi. In the Qing Dynasty, Gong Hong wrote a song called "Shuangjing Song", which said:

The tea is said to be a wonderful product Unparalleled,

Shuangjing is famous in Xiujiang.

The buds sprout first in front of the village.

The plump clouds compete with each other and bark in the village.

Ladies and gentlemen came back late one after another.

The basket was full and they called Xiaoshuang.

Asked where to go this year.

In front of Mingyue Bay and Diaoji.

These poems and essays vividly describe the unique color, fragrance, taste and shape of "Shuangjing Green". No wonder Shuangjing Green has become famous all over the world since its emergence.
