Mengding tea is produced in Sichuan province, which is known as the land of abundance. There are many famous summer resorts in Sichuan, which are known as "Jiange is dangerous in the world, flying moths are beautiful in the world, and Qingcheng is quiet in the world". Mengshan Mountain is located in the middle part of Qionglai Mountain, in the west of Chengdu Plain, and spans two counties: Mingshan and Ya 'an. There are five peaks on the top of the mountain, namely, Shangqing, Jiao Ling, Pilu, Jingquan and Ganlu, which are shaped like lotus flowers. There are towering old trees, many temples, majestic mountains, beautiful peaks, misty clouds and strange landscapes, which are comparable to Emei and Qingcheng. It is true that "it is windy in Gaochang, and everything is bleak; Overlooking the circulation of Qiang River, the mountains are winding, the paths of tea beds and Chinese fir forests, and the exotic flowers and grasses are enough to be called scenic spots. Mengshan has now developed into an important tea-producing area in Sichuan Province.
According to historical records, Mengshan has been producing tea for more than two thousand years. According to legend, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, a monk in Mengshan Temple planted seven tea trees in Shangqingfeng. These seven tea trees "grew too high and died too young". They grow in spring and wither in autumn. They pick tea every year and sprout it every year. Although the output is small, the users are sick and healthy, so they are called "immortal tea". There are seven kinds of "immortal tea" recorded in Han stele, Ming and Qing stele and famous mountain county annals. But where did these seven kinds of tea trees come from and how did they spread to various places? Opinions vary. Some thought it was introduced from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, some thought it was introduced from Fujian Jianxi, and some thought it was cultivated from tea collected from Emei Mountain. As for how these seven kinds of immortal teas developed and spread, there are many mythical accounts and legends.
It is said that a long time ago, an old monk was seriously ill and drug treatment was ineffective. Suddenly, an old man came to visit and said that "the jade leaves of Mengshan Mountain can be picked at the vernal equinox and boiled with mountain springs, which can cure stubborn diseases". The old monk believed his words, such as collecting fairy tea by law. After taking it, my condition gradually improved, and I felt refreshed and healthy after taking it for a long time. So I built a stone house at the top of Mengshan Mountain and found an old man to cultivate and pick tea. The old man's wife died early, and he only had one daughter. They live alone. Because his daughter is as red as "Jade Leaf", she was named Jade Leaf. Yuye is beautiful and smart. She is sixteen years old and not married. One day, the old man asked Yu Ye to go shopping at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, I met several hooligans halfway up the mountain, blocked the way and insulted them in every way. Yu Ye was anxious and shouted for help. The shrill cry alarmed Wang Hu, a young man who was chopping wood. Wang Hu is kind and honest. Hearing the cry for help, I quickly went to see the hooligans flirting with young girls in broad daylight. I was so angry that I picked up a wooden stick, shouted at him and rushed over. Those dude are no match for Wang Hu. Some of them were beaten and begged for mercy, while others cursed and sneaked away, and Yu Ye was saved. She didn't look at anything and said, "Thank you for saving my life!" " "Say kneeling on the ground repeatedly knocked three XiangTou. Now that you are in a hurry, help the girl up and say, "This is what I should do. Not so fast. It's getting late, girl, hurry up! "Yu Ye thank you again and say goodbye to you. She turned and walked up the hill. She didn't go far, but reluctantly looked back at you. Who knows that you are also looking at her, looking at each other affectionately. Since then, you have never forgotten that girl and have been wandering in the mountains. Yu Ye also likes to go for a walk in the mountains when he has something to do, hoping to see the young man again. When she learned that the young man was a dutiful son who lived at the foot of the mountain, her thoughts were even more enthusiastic. Besides, Wang Hu is broke. She lives by chopping wood. She has an old mother with red eyes and poor eyesight. She can't even sew. She depends on her son to support her. Wang Hu is not only filial to his mother, gentle to his neighbors, but also caring for ordinary small animals, so people call him a dutiful son. One day, Wang Hu heard that the "Jade Leaf" at the top of Mengshan Mountain can cure eye diseases, and decided to go up the mountain to collect it. He arranged his mother's life and said to her, "mom, I'm going up the mountain to collect medicine." I must cure your eye disease. Just wait for good news at home! " Say, take dry food and hit the road. There are five peaks in Mengshan. He climbed one peak after another. Lie under the big tree when you are tired, and drink some mountain spring water when you are thirsty. One day, he was drinking water by the spring. He thought he couldn't find out where the "Jade Leaf" grew after walking so many roads. He was very upset. Suddenly he heard a melodious song coming from far and near, and he felt strange. He climbed the tree and looked around. He saw a girl coming here singing. Seems familiar. Looking at it again, it seems to be the girl who was saved in the past, so I couldn't help shouting, "Hello, are you from the mountains?" "The girl heard someone ask questions and ran this way. The closer the girl runs, the more you can see. It's really her! Just like touching electricity, I don't feel flustered and have a fever on my face. He jumped down from the tree quickly, and the girl was overjoyed and shouted, "It's you! Great! Last time you saved me, didn't you ask your name? "Then he asked where you live, who else is at home, why did you come to the top of the mountain and so on. The girl laughed when she didn't tell the truth. " You found the right one! My name is Miss Yuye, and I am in charge of Yuye. I'm still going to see a doctor. Go home. I'll see your mother in person in a few days. "Nothing gratefully returned home. A few days later, Yu Ye came to nothing's house with the precious "Yuyexian Tea", looked at her aunt's eyes, washed them with tea soup, and told her to fry them every day. After taking it, mash the tea residue and apply it to her eyelids. Strangely, in less than ten days, my mother's eyes were red and swollen, and her vision was enhanced. Aunt is very grateful to Yu Ye, and she likes Yu Ye very much. Soon, Yu Ye and nothingness became lovers, and everything will be fine. In order to treat more people, Yu Ye set up a stall at the foot of the mountain and collected some tea seeds around to expand the planting area of fairy tea. Since then, the news that fairy tea can cure eye diseases, refresh and keep fit, and has the effect of rejuvenation has spread like wildfire, and it is famous far and near. People call it "sacred flower" and "auspicious core".
In the future, flatterers collected tribute officials, and local governments regarded them as high-level treasures of tribute emperors. Since the Tang dynasty, Mengshan tea has been listed as "tribute tea", and it is very mysterious to collect tribute tea every year. Every early spring, the county magistrate chooses a good day, puts on royal robes, leads his family and monks in various temples, beats gongs and drums, and goes up the mountain to worship "immortal tea". After burning incense and worshipping, tea buds are picked. It is stipulated that 360 leaves should be picked first, and the tea monk is responsible for frying. When frying, the monks in the temple should sit in the pot and recite the scriptures, stir fry them in the pot, then bake them with charcoal fire, store them in two silver boxes and send them to Beijing quickly for the emperor to sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth. All the fairy teas picked on the tea tree in Shangqingfeng are called "Gong Zheng", and the buds and leaves picked on other peaks are collectively called "various". After the fairy tea is picked, it is picked from the tender buds of Fanzhong, made into 20 Jin, packed in 18 iron cans, and accompanied to Beijing, which is called "accompanying tea" for the emperor to enjoy. According to the Records of Mingshan County, Mengshan Gong Tea Garden is completely under the control of monks on the mountain, with a fine division of labor, each performing his own duties and being responsible for the end. There is also a "stone house" specially built for collecting tribute tea on the mountain. Today, there is still the remains of the "tribute tea stone courtyard" on Mengshan. For more than a thousand years, Mengshan famous tea has been the exclusive product of emperors and generals, and working people have the obligation to collect and make it, but they have no right to enjoy it.
Since 1950s, Mengshan has established a state-owned tea garden, reclaimed and developed thousands of acres of tea gardens, and successively produced famous teas such as nectar, stone flower, yellow bud, rice bud and silver leaf in Wanchun and Changchun, which were well received by domestic and foreign markets.
