In southern Anhui, Shitai tea, especially Xianyushan tea. Shitai (called Shidai in ancient times, now called Shidai 1965) is a famous tea town in southern Anhui, which has been famous for its abundant tea and high-quality and high-grade tea since ancient times. Because the "buds" are produced in the clouds thousands of meters above sea level, the tea garden is shrouded in clouds all the year round, so the locals call this kind of tea "green in the fog". Lu You, a great poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote a poem: "In March, when he was half drunk, Chai Men always shook the bamboo. When the tea man from Wan Li in Qiupu arrived, he laughed and said that the fairy branches were tender. " In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei wrote in the poem "Xie Zhongjun Hui's First Tea": "Hangke praised Longjing, and the Soviet army cut down the tiger hill. The small basket is made of stone, and the satrap rewards Chizhou. In the afternoon, I woke up like a butterfly, and in spring, milk fell into the well. It's worth seven bowls, and the gauze hat is a bridle. " It can be seen that when the green (bud) in the fog is famous and widely circulated, it is definitely not under the West Lake Longjing. Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, tribute tea, official tea and commercial tea in the north and south of Anhui Province have taken the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as the main trade route, transported to Beijing via Gubeikou and Chaketu, and sold to North China, Northeast China and Russia. Tea goods in mountainous areas in southern Anhui pass through Huang Gan, Qiupu River, Bronze River, Qingyi River, Shuiyangjiang River and Yangtze River to Yangzhou, and then through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Tongxian County in Beijing. In southern Anhui, especially in rime, green tea has been listed as a tribute of the court since the third year of Zheng De (A.D. 1508). Green tea in fog flows into the Yangtze River via Qiupu River or Qingyi River, then to Yangzhou, and along the Grand Canal to Tongxian County, Beijing. It is with an indomitable spirit that Huizhou merchants carried tea out of the mountains, making the green tea in the fog break through the mountains and reach all directions, thus creating a myth of an era. Today, an ancient road winding in the deep mountains of southern Anhui is a witness of history. During the reign of Qing Qianlong, green tea in fog began to be sold to the European continent. At that time, the famous tea in the fog was produced in mountainous areas, and was picked by villagers along the ancient mountain road in southern Anhui, then transported to Guangzhou, boarded the "Gothenburg", transported to Sweden, and then transported from Sweden to other European countries. AD 1745
In, the merchant ship Gothenburg set sail for home from Guangzhou with China's silk, porcelain and tea. Unfortunately, this merchant ship hit the rocks and sank a few hundred meters away from Gothenburg, Sweden. More than 200 years later, Swedish marine archaeologists salvaged this ancient ship at the bottom of the deep sea, and found many small blue-and-white porcelain pots in some salvaged blue-and-white porcelain pots. When they opened them, they found that they were full of tea. Surprisingly, after being soaked in seawater for 200 years, these tea leaves, which are tightly wrapped in tin foil and isolated from the seabed air, can still be drunk. According to the trademark of porcelain pots and the research of experts, these ancient teas are the best famous teas produced in mountainous areas and clouds in southern Anhui, China. It is said that fog is regarded as the treasure of tea after it is transported to Europe, and it is very popular with the upper class, so it is very expensive. It is fashion and glory for nobles to get together and taste green in the fog. Sometimes in order to get a pot of green tea in the fog, they often exchange the same amount of jewelry. 1992 to 2004, the Swedes rebuilt an antique merchant ship and named it Gothenburg 3. Gothenburg 3 was completely designed and built according to the original Gothenburg, which reflected the perfect combination of modern and historical technology. This antique merchant ship set sail from Sweden, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, and arrived in Guangzhou, China in July 2006. This route is the famous one from Sweden in history.
China's Maritime Silk Road. On September 3, 2006, Wu Liqing boarded the Gothenburg 3 in Shanghai. On June 9th, 2007, Wu Liqing traveled around the world by Gothenburg III 10 months. He landed in the port of Gothenburg, crossed the historical time and space of nearly three worlds, and once again entered the Swedish palace. On the same day, China president Hu Jintao and Sweden's King Carl XVI and * * * attended the return ceremony of Gothenburg No.3 antique ship and boarded the Gothenburg No.3 antique ship with great interest. In front of the heads of state of China and Sweden, the classic historical tea "misty green" has entered a new era of history and is heading for a more brilliant tomorrow.
