How did oolong tea get its name?
Why "Oolong" is the name of tea, and when oolong tea was named in history, there are the following statements:
Named after a place name: Some people think that the name of oolong tea is related to a place name. Oolong was first associated with tea in 1 1 century when Liu Yi mentioned Oolong in Dragon Ji Yun: "At the beginning of this year, tea drinkers took the source of ravines as the top, according to Sun's note, the real peak, the people's pit, the double hills, the oolong, the wild goose, the ancient bamboo, the Yashan and the Yuelu. There are 10 kinds of famous teas such as Rizhu recorded in Julong. Although exquisite, it is not as good as Heyuan tea. Heyuan was a baked name of Beiyuan in Jianzhou at that time. Daily note in Shaoxing Pingshui, Shuanggang in Jiangxi along the mountain, Yandang in Kuocang Mountain in southern Zhejiang, Shuangjing in Xiushui, Yashan in Xuancheng, Anhui, Yuelu in Changsha, Hunan, ancient bamboo in Changxing, Zhejiang, Tianzhu in Shucheng, Anhui, and Minkeng in Jiuhuashan, Anhui. However, where the real peak and oolong are remains to be verified. The place names of China are all called "Oolong", such as Wulong River in Fuzhou, Wulong Lake in Lushan and Wulongling in Jiande, Zhejiang, which have existed since ancient times. However, it has not been confirmed whether the name of oolong tea originated from a place name. At that time, the collection and processing technology of oolong tea had not yet appeared. It is not the present oolong tea, but a kind of tea named after its place of origin. It can be seen that tea has the name of oolong for nearly a thousand years and has a long history, which deserves attention.
Named after tea varieties. Wuyi tea group varieties have always been called "vegetable tea". Tea trees named after tea varieties, such as Wuyi Wulong, may have been transplanted by the ancients a long time ago. After the introduction of tea trees, many different varieties of Dan Cong or famous clusters were carefully selected by monks. 1937, Zhuang transplanted the soft branch oolong of Anxi people to Jian 'ou. After planting, local tea farmers thought it was a good variety, so they propagated and cultivated it, and named the tea tree variety after Su Long's homonym. The tea made was also called oolong tea. 1942 "New Records of Chong 'an County" said that Wuyi oolong tea tree system was transplanted from Jian 'ou, which is the theory that oolong tea (variety) came from Anxi.
Named after Chengcha: Shi Hongbao's Fujian Miscellaneous Notes (1857) "There are many famous teas, and my hometown (Hangzhou) is known as Wuyi. Fujian Customs only has flowers, races and famous species. The species is the highest, followed by race, followed by flowers. Recently, it was an oolong produced in Shaxian County, which is said to be above famous species, such as sparrow tongue and lotus nut. "
