Since ancient times, tea has occupied a pivotal position in China. In Chinese folklore, there is a saying: "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea", which shows that tea is indispensable in the lives of ordinary Chinese people.
Just as food is fundamental to people's survival, tea is an indispensable part of life for ordinary people in China.
Since the Han Dynasty, the opening of the Silk Road has made the first exchanges between the Central Plains and the nomadic people outside the Saiwai increasingly frequent, and tea has become one of the important items, which has a decisive impact on various commodities.
Compared with modern people's perception of the main refreshing effect of tea, the ancient society has a more comprehensive understanding of tea, even for the Central Plains farming people who are not so convenient for drinking tea, tea can also bring positive effects on their health.
Nomads live without tea, which is not only a drink, but also an important part of their diet. Because the main food of nomads is meat and dairy products, although these foods can fill the stomach, long-term consumption may lead to constipation and other problems.
Tea polyphenols and trace elements in tea can effectively solve this problem and escort the health of nomads.
For nomads, the lack of fruits and vegetables makes them inadequate in vitamin intake, and the average life expectancy is only between 40 and 50 years. And tea, as an everyday drink, can help them with this.
However, you know what? There is a kind of tea that is more precious than **, worth as much as 5 million pounds, and it is guarded all the time. This is Da Hong Pao tea, and it contains a variety of types, such as Pu'er, Tieguanyin, Longjing, etc.
Green tea and black tea have been processed through the processing of fresh leaf killing and drying, withering fermentation and drying, respectively, to form their own unique flavors. Green tea is known for its refreshing properties, while black tea is better for digestion, although not as refreshing as green tea.
Among the many teas, Da Hong Pao is known as the king of tea for its high and strong taste, strong taste and delicate and long aroma.
Da Hong Pao, originated from several precious mountain tea trees in the Jiulong Cave Scenic Area of Wuyi Mountain, Fujian. These three mother trees are known as national treasures and were included in the list of world natural cultural heritage as early as 2000.
Therefore, the state has been focusing on the protection of these six mother trees, and the local government has also attached great importance to it, making it a key protection object.
During the period, a special army was set up to protect the three mother trees. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the army that guarded the mother tree was disbanded, but the importance of these three mother trees was not reduced, but was replaced by the People's Liberation Army to guard it to ensure the safety of the mother tree.
The reason why these three trees have been so painstakingly protected is that the Da Hong Pao tea they produce is extremely valuable.
One or two **, one or two teas", this sentence is the best interpretation of the big red robe of the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain. Rarity often means precious,** and so is wildlife fur.
The world's only three remaining mother trees, from this point of view, their value is needless to say. Not to mention that these are three old trees with a long history, and the trees can also produce people's beloved Da Hong Pao tea, and its mellow taste is endless.
How can the charm of this treasure not make the world go crazy? Tea cultureChina has a long tea culture heritage, tea is not only a daily drink of the Chinese people, but also a symbol of Chinese culture.
Whether it is a king or a pawn of a peddler, who has not tasted a sip of tea?
The literati drank tea, listened to the sound of the wind echoing in the small pavilion, a cup of tea in front of the table, they looked at the clouds in the sky, held a book, and told their romantic stories.
In the ordinary market, people will also find fun in the teahouse and teahouse, listen to light songs, chat with friends, and spend a leisurely day. Even in Lu Yu, the tea saint who wrote the "Book of Tea", you can see the charm of this tea culture.
He was abandoned since childhood, but he was adopted by the temple presiding over the Zen master Zhiji, and through tea, he found the meaning of life and achieved his legendary life.
Although Lu Yu did not become a monk, the influence of the temple made him deeply Buddhist thoughts. His life is like tea, indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has a deep love for drinking tea and tasting tea. Although his appearance was not very handsome, he was open-minded and often associated with poets and writers.
As for the origin of the name Da Hong Pao, it is also said to be related to the good deeds of a temple. Legend has it that a scholar fainted on the side of the mountain road due to the ruggedness of the mountain road and the hunger of the Wuyi Mountain.
When the abbot master went out, he met a scholar who fainted on the ground near the Tianxin Temple on Wuyi Mountain. Life in the temple was simple, and the master had nothing good to entertain him.
Fortunately, there are three wild tea trees growing in the mountains, and the tea leaves naturally grow in the mountains, which is a rare and good tea. So, the master used these tea leaves to cook a bowl of tea soup for the scholar to drink.
Surprisingly, the scholar's illness was miraculously cured.
He left the abbot and went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and became the first champion of the department and the emperor's protégé. When the emperor asked him about his experience, the scholar told about the life-saving grace of the old abbot on Wuyi Mountain, praised the three tea trees, and admired the tea leaves he picked so much, as if he had the feeling of a contemporary miracle medicine.
The emperor was deeply moved after hearing this, so he specially asked this champion to return to Wuyi Mountain to thank the three tea trees for their regeneration.
Zhuang Yuanlang was ordered to return to Wuyi Mountain, first to express his endless gratitude to the abbot master who saved him from danger, and then to the place where the three legendary tea trees grow, and solemnly draped the red robe given by the emperor on the tea tree, and held a grand thank-you ceremony.
When the red robe is removed, under the sunlight, the branches and leaves of the tea tree shimmer with wisps of red light, which is the origin of the name of the big red robe. And the tea leaves picked from these three mother trees are now comparable to those of the same weight.
Although according to the estimation of the previous auction transactions, the ** of five million pounds seems very high, but in fact, the tea leaves on the mother tree are extremely scarce, and the annual output is even difficult, let alone entering the market.
Therefore, this five million ** is just a market valuation, in fact, there is no market, even if you are willing to pay, you can't buy it.
