Judging from the recorded history, Mengding Mountain is the earliest place in the history of our country where artificial cultivation of tea is recorded. About the existing world of tea

Ye's earliest recorded legend that Wang Bao, Tong Yue and Wu Lizhen planted tea trees in Mengshan can prove that Mengding Mountain in Sichuan is the origin of tea planting and tea making. Green tea originated in Bati (now in northern Sichuan and southwestern Shaanxi). According to "Huayang Guozhi Bazhi", when the Zhou Dynasty attacked, Ba people sent tea to the army. Huayang County Records is a faithful history. It can be concluded that the Ba people in northern Sichuan (seven buddha Gongcha) began to cultivate tea artificially in the garden no later than the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It is said that green tea originated in chibi city, Hubei Province. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu led the peasant uprising, and the tea farmers in Yangloudong joined the army and went to the new (Xinjiang) Mongolian (ancient) border town. When they saw someone with abdominal pain after meals in the army, they gave the patient their own Puyin green tea. After taking it, the patients gradually recovered. When Zhu Hongwu knew about it, he kept it in mind. When he became emperor, Zhu Hongwu and Prime Minister Liu Ji went to Puyin to find a hermit Liu Tiande. They happened to meet Liu Xuanyi, the eldest son of Liu Tiande who lived in this kind of tea. Liu Xuanyi asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give him a name. Seeing that this tea is green, shaped like a pine peak and fragrant, Zhu Hongwu named it "Songfeng Tea" and named the mountain with tea as Songfeng Mountain. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (139 1), Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, became accustomed to drinking Yanglou Songfeng tea, so he told the world: "Don't make dragon balls, just pick tea buds." Thus, Liu Xuanyi became the first person to make green tea in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang became the first person to promote green tea in the world, and Yang Lou Cave became the earliest place to make green tea in the world.
