There is a kind of tea called Tieguanyin, why is it called Tieguanyin?

The first is "Wei said": around the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1725), Wei Yin (1703 1775), an old tea farmer in Songlintou, Yaoyang, Xiping (now Songyan Village, Xiping Township), was diligent in planting tea, and believed in Guanyin. One night, Wei Yin dreamed in his sleep that he went out with a hoe, walked to the edge of a stream, and found a tea tree in the crack of the stone, with strong branches and leaves, fragrant and attractive.

Wei Yin was so strange that he was about to lean in to pick, when suddenly there was a sound of a dog barking, which woke up from a good dream. The next morning, Wei Yin followed the path in the dream to search, and sure enough, in the stone gap of Guanyinlun stone pit, he found a tea tree as seen in the dream, and carefully observed, the leaf shape is oval, the mesophyll is thick, the young buds are purple and red, verdant and dripping, different from other species. He was overjoyed, so he transplanted the tea tree in a broken iron tripod at home, carefully cultivated, and after several years of pressing branches and propagation, the plant was strong and the leaves were green.

It is harvested in a timely manner, and sure enough, the tea quality is special, the fragrance is extraordinary, and it is regarded as a family treasure and stored in a secret jar. Every time a distinguished guest comes to the door, brews and evaluates, and everyone who has drunk this tea is full of praise. One day, a teacher drank this tea and asked in amazement

What a good tea is this? Wei Yin told the master in detail about the encounter in the dream and the transplantation, and said that this tea was found in the cliff stone, the cliff stone is mighty like an Arhat, and after transplantation, it was planted in the iron ding, and wanted to call it "Iron Arhat". The teacher shook his head and said

Some arhats are hideous and terrifying, how can good tea be commonly called. This tea is obtained by Guanyin's dream, or is it called 'Tieguanyin' is elegant! After Wei Yin heard this, he applauded repeatedly.

The second is "Wang Said": Wang Shirang, a scholar of Yaoyang Nanyan (now Nanyan Village, Xiping Township), Xiping, Anxi, was a deputy tribute in the tenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1732), and served as the general judge of Qizhou, the Huangzhou Mansion of Huguang (now Hubei) in the tenth year of Qianlong (1745), and built a study at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, named "Nanxuan". In the spring of the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1736), Wang and his friends often met in Nanxuan, and wandered beside Nanxuan every time the sun set in the west.

One day, I saw that there was a tea tree in the barren garden of the layer of stones, which was different from other species, so it was transplanted to the garden of Nanxuan, managed day and night, carefully cultivated, multiplied year by year, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the round leaves were red; Harvested into a finished product, black and fat, the smell is extraordinary; After soaking, the fragrance is mellow and refreshing. In the sixth year of Qianlong (1742), Wang was summoned to Beijing to pay homage to Fang Wangxi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and presented this tea as a gift. Fang Shilang tasted its extraordinary taste, so he transferred it to the inner court.

After Emperor Qianlong drank, he was very happy, summoned Shi Rang to inquire about the history of Yaoyang tea, with its tea black and firm, heavy like "iron", the taste and fragrance are beautiful, just like "Guanyin", and the name was given "Tieguanyin".

Because its leaves are as heavy as iron and its body is as beautiful as Guanyin, it is called Tieguanyin.

Tieguanyin is a semi-fermented oolong tea, which originates in Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. Usually when drinking tea, it is drunk in a small white porcelain tea cup, and other tea utensils are also more particular. Usually, when drinking, the tea set should be rinsed with boiling water first, and then the tea leaves should be rinsed, and the taste will not be good until the third or fourth brew, but it also varies according to the specific variety.

Tieguanyin tea soup is golden in color and sweet in the throat, tasting it is not only the taste of tea, but also a culture.

The origin of Tieguanyin, there is a saying that Guanyin dreams; According to Zhao Jing, in the early 18th century, there was an old tea farmer Wei Yin who believed in Buddhism and worshiped Guanyin in Songyan Village, Yaoyang, Anxi, offered tea in front of the statue of Guanyin every morning and evening, for decades, it was the same, never stopped, one night, he fell asleep, dreamed in a hazy dream that he carried a hoe out of the house, he came to a stream, and suddenly found a tea tree in the stone crevice, the branches are strong and leafy, the aroma is attractive, and the tea tree he has seen is different ......The next morning, he searched along the road in his dream last night, and sure enough, he asked in the stone gap of Guanyinlun's stone pit and found the tree in his dream. Carefully**, I saw that the tea leaves were oval, the mesophyll was thick, the buds were purple and red, and the green was dripping: Wei Yin was very happy, and dug up this tree back and planted it in a small iron tripod at home, and the chain liquid was carefully cultivated.

Because this tea was obtained by Guanyin in a dream, it was named Tieguanyin.

Another theory is that Qianlong gave the name; According to legend, Wang Turang, a native of Nanyan in Xiping, Anxi, once built a study at the foot of Nanshan and named it "Nanxuan". In the spring of the first year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1736), Wang and his friends met in "Nanxuan". Whenever the sunset rents fall in the west, they linger beside Nanxuan.

One day, he stumbled upon a tea tree that was different from the rest of the stone barren garden, so he transplanted it in the tea garden of Nanxuan, managed it day and night, cultivated it carefully, and propagated it year by year. In the sixth year of Qianlong, Wang Shirang was summoned to Beijing, met with Fang Bao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and gave this tea to Fang Bao, Fang Shilang between its taste is extraordinary, and then transferred it to the inner court, the emperor praised it after drinking, and asked about the history of Yaoyang tea, so the tea is black and firm, heavy like iron, the taste and fragrance are beautiful, just like "Guanyin", and the name "Tieguanyin" is given.

Dear, expand the query for you: The role of Xiaohong Tieguanyin: 1. Refresh and think.

Tieguanyin can refresh the mind and think, and its function is based on the caffeine in the tea, which has the function of stimulating the central nervous system, enhancing the thinking of the book and improving efficiency. Therefore, after drinking tea, it can break sleep, refresh the mind, remove annoyance, relieve tiredness, clear the mind, enhance thinking, and significantly improve the oral defense ability and the response of mathematical thinking.

2. Clear heat and reduce fire. Tea is a good drink to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Li Wu's "Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "Tea bitter cold socks, the most able to reduce fire, fire is a hundred diseases, and fire is clear." For warm drinks, the fire will fall late due to the cold, and hot drinks will rise and disperse by the fire. ”

The efficacy of Tieguanyin: In the ancient medical books of our country, there are also many records of using tea to ** bacterial dysentery, red envy dysentery, white dysentery, acute enteritis, and acute gastritis. Jinzi Tieguanyin contains tea polyphenol compounds, because after the tea polyphenols enter the gastrointestinal tract, they can relax the tension function of the intestines, ease the intestinal movement, and at the same time, they can make the intestinal protein coagulate, because the bacteria themselves are composed of protein, after the tea polyphenols and bacterial proteins meet, the bacteria will die, which plays a role in protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa, so it has the effect of enteritis.
