Ruicaokui is produced in Yashan Mountain in southern Anhui, also known as Yashan Tea, which is a famous historical tea. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Langxi County was the hometown of tribute tea, and the tribute tea "Ruicaokui" in the Tang Dynasty grew in the mountainous area of langxi.
Ruicaokui is produced in Baiyanggang, south of Miaoquan Village (Yaojiata Village), Yaocun Township, Langxi County, Anhui Province. It is a famous historical tea. Because the intersection angle of the main lateral veins of its tea varieties is too large, it looks like a horizontal texture, so it is named Hengcha. It became famous in China as early as 1000 years ago.
"This mountain is true, this Wu Dongxiu, this tea is called Rui Caokui. Although the profile is a vulgar history, it is also a fairy. " This is a famous sentence that Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised the best tea, Ruicaokui, in his poem Chashan.
There are more than 80,000 temple tea gardens in langxi, which is the largest green tea production base in China. The national average per 10 kg of tea is produced in langxi. 1996, Langxi County was awarded as "the hometown of green tea in China" by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the famous historical tea "Ruicaokui" was produced in Yashan, Yaocun Township, langxi.
Baiyanggang on the sunny slope of Yashan Mountain is 487 meters above sea level, with towering old trees, lush forests and bamboos, gurgling streams and misty clouds. The tea field is black gravel sand, which is especially suitable for tea growth. Tea trees are naturally wild and unique, with an area of 8,000 mu of recoverable fresh leaves. The finished tea is flat and straight like a sparrow tongue, with uniform size, green color, long fragrance, lasting fragrance, yellow-green soup color and long fragrance.
Du Mu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, praised Rui Caokui in his poem Chashan. The Tea Classic written by Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty recorded the tea production in Yashan, Xuanzhou in ancient times. Mao Wenxi's "Tea Spectrum" in the Five Dynasties records: "There is Yashan Mountain in Xuancheng County, and the cookies are paved with tea teeth. Its Shandong province was lit by Asahi, named Yangpo, and its tea is the best. Taishou tried to recommend it to people in Luo Jing, and the topic was Yashan Yangpo Hengcha. " In the Northern Song Dynasty, Mei's poem "Answering Master Zhang's Book Xuancheng Yashan Tea Rhyme" says: I often read Tang poems, and the tea rhyme is good. Crows are born with tea seeds, so they are famous crows in the same mountain. Focus on the first gun flag and pick it to wear the haze.
Although Jiangnan is rich, this kind of tea is not everywhere. Delicate as a sparrow's tongue, fried more than exposed buds. Actually, it was baked with green glaze, and the wine yarn was not sprinkled. Ruicaokui is an ancient famous tea with a long history of more than 1000 years, which is famous all over the country for its excellent quality.
Langxi, the largest green tea production base in China, has an endless sea of tea, which is lush and green, setting off the splendor and beauty of the tea sea in the south of the Yangtze River. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, green tea tips appear in tea gardens, and girls picking tea are humming beautiful southern Anhui folk songs and picking green and tender tea leaves. The tea garden is connected with the rippling lake, and the green mountains and green tea set off the scenery of water and sky. Under the irradiation of the sunset glow, a beautiful picture of Jiangnan is displayed in front of us. In the morning, walking in the fresh air and fragrant tea garden, you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of nature as far as you can see, and the fresh tea fragrance makes people full of energy. This tea city has all the treasures and spirits of Jiangnan water town. A long time ago, there was no rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers and lakes dried up, and an oolong was trapped on Gaocao Lake. One day, the jellyfish queen passed by, and Oolong begged her to be kind and save her life before she died. Seeing this, the jellyfish queen felt pity and promised to set up a water dragon array to save Oolong from returning to the East China Sea. The Queen Jellyfish tossed her sleeves, threw out a white gauze and set up a platform more than ten feet high. When her hands closed, colorful Xiangyun gently put her on the platform. With a shake of his left hand, he lit a wick and made three obeisances to the east, only to see the bottom of Gaocao Lake suddenly rolling in the fog. Just then, Sun Wuzi, the God of War, led his daughter-in-law through here because of something. He saw the jellyfish empress wearing gauze on her shoulders, bare back, and doing something. She became curious, turned into a mouse, got into the audience and peeped at the jellyfish queen on her back. According to the dogma, it is a sin to peek at the fairy family. Sun Wuzi thought he would be fine as long as he was not found. The jellyfish queen shook the sleeve of her right hand again, and a bowl of fairy water appeared in her hand, pouring down on the audience like a waterfall, and the white waves rolled into Gaocao Lake. At this time, I only listened to the audience "Ouch!" With a loud cry, a big mouse rolled in the water wave and showed its original shape. The jellyfish queen was dismayed to see that it was Sun Wuzi. At this time, the law has been broken, the water has stopped flowing, and only half of the lake has been filled. The water flowed out slowly along the stream under the lake. Wherever the water goes, the hay turns green, and the dry fish and shrimp in the river ditch gradually revive. Oolong was about to soar with the help of the water head, but the water was cut off. It suddenly fell, its head became the peak of the endless mountain, and its tail was in the high grass lake. It left the legend of "opening the sky and growing the plains, turning the land into a dry lake". Empress Jellyfish packed her musical instruments and angrily returned to the Heavenly Palace to complain. At this time, Sun Wuzi knew that the big event was not good, and he had violated the dogma, which was bound to be devastated. Anxious, I called my daughter-in-law, Miao Tianxiang, and said, "Your father and I committed a terrible crime and were born to die. Only you can save me now. " "How can I save you?" "I broke the dogma. Lei Gong won't hit you. I'll turn into a jujube soon. You put me in your mouth. When Lei Gong leaves, you spit me out again, and I can escape this robbery. " After saying this, it turned into a huge jujube. Miao Tianxiang picked it up as soon as she imported it. The eastern sky thundered and thundered, and dark clouds rolled in. There was a loud click, and Miao Tianxiang was too scared to open her mouth. Not good! Swallowed this "grandfather" into his stomach. After the lightning and thunder, calm was restored. Miao Tianxiang was in a state of panic at this moment and walked not far along Gaocao Lake. Suddenly, she thought that her father would suffocate if he was kept in his stomach for a long time, so she had to let him out quickly, so she opened her mouth and spit out a jujube pit. I think this must be my grandfather. His meat has been digested by me, leaving only this bone. ? Sad and scared, she dug a hole by the ditch with her hand, buried the jujube pit and knocked her head three times on the ground. Strange to say, saplings have grown in this jujube pit, and they have grown into big jujube trees in the blink of an eye, and will bear fruit after flowering. This fruit looks exactly like the fruit that my father turned into. It's big and bright. ? Miao Tianxiang thought, this jujube must be born by my father-in-law, and I will be filial to him. So I set up a small hut next to this jujube tree and began to guard this "holy tree". When she is thirsty, she will drink the fairy water in the stream. When she is hungry, she will pick a few such dates to satisfy her hunger. After eating a jujube, she will bury the jujube pit in the soil and grow new jujube trees. Year after year, it has become a jujube forest. Miao Tianxiang's husband, Sun Su, is in charge of the jade emperor's back garden. When he heard that something had happened to his father and wife, he hadn't seen his wife and father for more than ten days. He was very worried and went out to look for them. Sun Su found his father and daughter-in-law in the area of Gaocao Lake in Dian Mu, so he hurriedly asked the Jade Emperor for leave and came to Gaocao Lake. Seeing Miao Tianxiang picking dates, he went forward and wept bitterly. Knowing his father's misfortune, Sun Su asked his wife to go back to Heaven with him. Miao Tianxiang said with a wry smile, "I can't go back. I want to protect this jujube forest until a replacement arrives. " Sun Su said helplessly, "All right! I will also guard with you! " After that, it turned into a bee and made a big hive under the jujube tree. Since then, bees go out to collect flowers and make honey every day, and Tianxiang cooks dates with honey juice to make candied dates. Before every cooking date, she would dig out the jujube pit and replant it, thinking that the jujube pit was dad and could not be scalded with boiling water. Peeled dates are watered with honey, rubbed flat, dried and eaten. I don't know how many years later, there was another drought, the rivers cracked and the victims fled. After Cang Xie, Hou Yi came here from Henan with his family, wife and children. Hope saw that crops and plants in other places had dried up, and the flowers and plants in this river were lush. He thought it must be a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Further on, I found a stream, gurgling water. Hopper's family planned to settle down here and found a flat land. The family began to cut down trees and grow grass to build two huts and settle down. The next day, in order to understand the surrounding environment, I ordered some wild animals on the back slope, with a steel fork in my hand and a cloth bag tied around my waist, and went to the stream alone. Not far away, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to the stone platform in front of me, squeezing something. Just then, a tangy aroma came to my face, which deeply attracted my stepmother, so I went forward and bowed down and asked, "Sister, what are you squeezing?" "candied dates." Tianxiang agreed without looking up. Hope asked again, "Why do you live alone in this remote ravine?" "Waiting for someone." "I'm new here, too, and we will be neighbors in the future. What is your name, please? " "Tianxiang." Middle-aged women's lukewarm attitude, Hou Po can't say much, is preparing to move on. "Stop, take all these candied dates away! This is all for you. " Huo Po was overjoyed, thank him! He has been swallowed by this yellow, transparent and delicious jujube, because he was embarrassed to ask for it when he met for the first time. He quickly took off his small cloth bag, put all the candied dates on the stone platform in, thanked him again and again, and ran back to the hut. After telling his mother and family what he had just met, he took out a handful of candied dates from his pocket and let his mother taste them first. Mother Hou pinched it with candied dates, which was soft. When she smelled them, Qing Xiang smelled them and tasted them in her mouth. They are sweet and tender. The old lady praised again and again: "delicious! Delicious! This is really a magical fruit! "I ate three pills in a row. It is amazing to say that the old lady's white hair gradually turned into black hair, and her hazy eyes became bright and refreshing, which surprised the whole family. Hope suddenly realized, "I met a fairy!" " "Hou mother said," son! Why don't you thank the fairy who gave us the fairy fruit! "The old woman quickly turned around and came to the stone stage again, but there was no sign of the fairy, so she had to kowtow several times in front of the stone stage. It turned out that Miao Tianxiang and his wife had already vowed that they would not leave until someone came here, and Houpo was the new owner here. Sun Su left a group of bees and returned to the Heavenly Palace with Miao Tianxiang. In the evening, Miao Tianxiang and Huo Po had a dream and explained some jujube management and jujube making techniques. Moreover, when the stepmother returned to her home, she enshrined the candied dates given by Tianxiang at home, offered incense and bowed down every day, and began to manage the jujube garden. In the harvest season, his wife and children help to pick dates, wash and cook them with immortals in Gaocao Lake, and size them with honey collected. The stepmother taught her wife and children to knead dates like fairies and put them on the fairy stone platform to dry and store. If the family can't finish eating, they will take it to the market for sale. Hope passed on his craft to his son and daughter when he was old. He lived to 105, and his mother lived to 99. The production technology of candied dates has been passed down from generation to generation. There are more and more jujube trees and the village is getting bigger and bigger. Later, people called this village "Hou Village". In order to commemorate their ancestors, the descendants of Hou Shi called the dates with kernels removed and honey filled "Tianxiang", and the dates with transparent yellow and visible kernels from the outside were called "Amber". Jujube people have created new varieties of candied dates such as "Jujube King, Noodles, Orchid and Super Egg" in practice. Houcun jujube is famous for its unique aura, and many officials take it as a gift as a gift to curry favor with their superiors. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, playing all the way, singing and dancing to Daibu, and the concubines in the harem coquetry asked the emperor for local specialties to satisfy their desires. Gan Long asked the officials and eunuchs around him: "It is said that Jiangnan is a beautiful place with outstanding people. Do you know anything delicious here? " Li Gonggong hurried forward and replied, "Long live the sovereign! I heard that the candied dates in Houcun, Jianping County are quite good. " "oh! Then go and get some for me to taste. " "Hey!" Early the next morning, Jianping magistrate of a county brought excellent "Tianxiang" and "Amber" to pay tribute to the emperor. The emperor looked at the candied dates in front of him, took one and ate it. He said, "You all say this candied jujube is delicious, so I think it's just so-so!" " Li Gonggong, who stood by, said, "Your Majesty, you just ate a little too fast. You have to taste it slowly. " "That's because I ate too much!" "I dare not." The emperor stretched himself, took one, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. "Well ... very good! Not bad! It is really delicious. I ate a lot of delicacies, but this date is different. Where is it made? " Magistrate Lu quickly knelt down and said, "Long live! It is my Jianping specialty. " "well! Jianping candied dates are particularly famous. " The clerk in the entourage immediately wrote down this sentence of the emperor. Later, in the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong, Hu Wenquan recorded this sentence in the "Records of Guangdezhou": "Jianping candied dates are especially famous and specially written."
