According to legend, Maoshan Mountain in Songyang was a volcano in ancient times, and different flames often spewed out from the chaotic world. One day, the Antarctic immortal Weng (the birthday girl) passed by Maoshan Mountain and saw the sufferings of the world, leaving a peach and sealing the crater. However, the temperature of different fires is very high. Xiantao completely sealed off the volcano, burning only a piece of peach beard, turning peach kernel into a clear spring, completely suppressing the fire and never coming back. Since then, Maoshan has become a fairy mountain.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Daochang and Yuegong Yefashan discovered a kind of wild tea with the shape of a sparrow tongue in the Maoshan Dojo in Songyang County, and later cultivated and improved it into the best "Maoshan Fairy Tea" in tea.
Ye Fashan is known as "Master of Taoism, Fairy on Earth, Huatuo in Medicine, and Master of Tea", and became famous in Tang Xianzong. In ancient times, when he was 70 years old, Ye Fashan magically lived to 65,438+005 years old, and was recorded as a fleshy living immortal in Old Tang Book. Ye Fashan's drinking Maoshan fairy tea all the year round has become one of the secrets of his longevity. There are three people in Ye Fashan's family who are over 100 years old. At that time, the average life expectancy of the Tang Dynasty was only over 50 years old.
At the invitation of Tang Gaozong, Ye Fashan walked into the palace with "Maoshan Fairy Tea". Since then, "Maoshan Fairy Tea" has officially become a royal tribute tea given by the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Ye Fashan was the host of the highest Taoist Dragon View in China. He and Zhang Daoling are the only religious figures in history. Ye Fashan served five emperors, namely Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Tang Zhongzong, Tang Ruizong and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
