"Wawu is cold and snow is piled up after spring, and Emei green is swept away by rain." China is the cradle of famous tea. Not only are tea-producing mountains mostly concentrated in the south, but famous teas always correspond to the mountains where they are located. "Wine is about wineries, tea is about mountains." In the concept recognized by the domestic tea industry, the Southwest tea area is one of the main producing areas of Chinese green tea, and its representative products include Mengding (mountain) nectar, Emeishan tea and other green teas. It also contains Ya'an Tibetan tea, Mengding Huangya and other dark teas and yellow teas, as well as the regional public brand "Wawu Chunxue" originated from Zonggang Mountain in the southern section of Qionglai Mountain and named after Wawu Mountain in the east of Daxiangling. "series of teas.

For thousands of years, Hongshan Yashui, surrounded by the "three mountains" of Mount Emei, Wawu Mountain and Mengding Mountain, and the middle of the Qingyi River Basin, has created Hongya County with Zonggang Mountain and Shenchafang due to its unique ecological environment and soil conditions. It is an outstanding representative of the characteristic economic industry of tea. As the birthplace of the Hongya tea industry in the Meishan area of southwest Sichuan, its long history of tea is glorious. The "Shen Tea House", a wooden blue tile structure standing in the mountains for hundreds of years, is also an old tea-making workshop in Xieyan Village of Hanwangchang ("Field" Jichang Town and Market) in Zonggang Mountain. ” and the preferred location for the proposed Tea Museum.

"The mountain is extraordinary, and the tea is extraordinary." Zonggang Mountain is winding and undulating, running from northeast to southwest. It is adjacent to Mengding Mountain, the hometown of "tea ancestor" Wu Lizhen. , the ecological environment surrounded by clouds and mists at four seasons has created a Fengshui treasure land for producing high-quality tea.

Hongya has a long-established Shen Tea House. The earliest family of Shen from Jiajiang (county) Huatou (town) in Jiading (now Leshan City) in the Qing Dynasty came to Xieyan to help work tea for 5 years, and moved there after receiving help from the Xie family. The tea-making workshop that bought the property so far initially specialized in the production of Hongya folk old tea, which is now called big tea (coarse tea), side tea (Tibetan tea, dark tea, brick tea, tea buns), mainly through the ancient Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Road. The branches were transported to the nearby famous mountains, Yanchang, Yingjing and other places in Yazhou (now Ya'an) for assembly, and then the larger tea merchants organized tea tickets to be sold to Kangzang. In the early days of the founding of New China, Hongya was listed as one of the 12 key counties for side tea production in Sichuan Province and two counties for sample production of fried green tea (commonly known as "fine tea"). In 1958, Hongya County established the first tea factory in the county, Dongfeng Tea Factory, based on Shenchafang, inheriting and developing the skills of hand-made old tea and fine tea. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the Shen family built two machine-made tea factories in Hanwang, and the Shen Tea House stopped the bustling century-old hand-made tea.

Especially after being listed as the first batch of ecological agriculture pilot counties in the country in 1990, Hongya improved, introduced and optimized tea varieties such as Laochuan Tea, Mingshan 131, Chuannong No. 9, and Fuding Dabai, and the planting area gradually expanded to cover the whole county. Qishan, Houshan, Tiangong, Liuxin, Hanwang, Zhongshan and other villages and towns. Entering the 21st century, Hongya local tea enterprise brands such as "Yayulu", "Ximiaoshan" and "Yazitiancheng" in Shangzhongshan Township and Hanwang Township (merged in 2020) on Hongya Zonggang Mountain have emerged one after another. According to statistics, in 2021, all 12 towns in Hongya will produce tea, and there will be 10 tea villages with a scale of more than 10,000 mu. The total tea planting area in the county will exceed 300,000 mu, ranking second in the province; certified organic tea bases 2 10,000 mu, ranking first in the province; the annual output of fresh leaves is 140,000 tons, with a comprehensive output value of 5 billion yuan.

"High mountains and clouds make good tea." Zonggang Mountain is the historical and geographical intersection of Hongya's tea economy and tea culture. The advantages of "climate, favorable location, and people" are demonstrated, and the multiple analysis of geography, ecology and humanities from the perspective of modern science can explore the corresponding password hidden in Zonggang Mountain.

First of all, Hongya Zonggang Mountain is connected with the famous mountain area of Ya’an, and it is close to Mengding Mountain, the birthplace of tea in the world. The ecological community with the same mountain and the same water source and the local tea culture exchange with deep roots and luxuriant leaves provide the two places for the symbiosis of high-quality tea. The growth material basis and production techniques of causality. Taking the tea-making technique as an example, the ancient Hongya method of making cake tea (tea cake) started in the Wei Dynasty (220-264), which is to steam the green cake and dry it first, and then crush it for brewing. Including today's Mingshan District of Ya'an City) Mengding was passed on to Hongya, and it has been followed until the Tang Dynasty; about loose tea, Mao Wenxi's "Tea Book" recorded in the Five Dynasties: "Meizhou, Hongya, Changhe, Danling, the tea is like The method of making cakes and tea in Mengding, the loose ones, the leaves are large and yellow, and the taste is quite sweet and bitter, and it is also second to the Jiajia and the cicada's wings."

Secondly, Hongya Tea, also known as "Yacha", ranks first among the "Ten Ya" products of Hongya. The Zonggang Mountains where Shenchafang is located is an enrichment area that hides the ecological code of Yacha. First, it is located in the peculiar 30° north latitude line of the earth. The 30° north latitude of China is in the transition zone between subtropical and temperate zones. Due to the mild climate, the mountains in this area are most suitable for the growth of subtropical plants. It is a high-quality tea industry belt, including Mengding Ganlu. Among the 10 traditional famous teas, including West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun and Huangshan Maofeng, 9 are produced at this latitude. The second is to be in the Huaxi rain screen belt, which only accounts for 0.26% of China's land area. Because of the special meteorological conditions of abundant precipitation, least sunshine, and more rain and fog all year round, the rain screen belt in West China is known as the "Secret Garden of Eden" that nurtures life. Collection of beneficial substances.

Third, altitude and soil matter affect the suitability of tea tree growth and the taste quality of tea leaves. Hongya Zonggang Mountain has a moderate altitude, four distinct seasons, no severe cold in winter, no extreme heat in summer, abundant rainfall, and simultaneous rain and heat. It is a typical representative of the natural growth of tea trees. Due to the relatively low temperature, high humidity, low radiation and cloudy climatic characteristics and slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter, it can inhibit the synthesis of cellulose in tea buds and leaves, maintain a high concentration of soluble nitrogen in the shoot tissue, and keep the buds and leaves tender. The unique microclimate of "slightly cold in September and small spring in October" in the lunar calendar makes Zonggangshan tea show the iconic feature of "early buds in winter", and the diffuse light effect of the tea garden is enhanced by the cloudy fog and promotes the synthesis of various aromatic substances in tea. Therefore, "Shen Chafang" tea is beautiful and well-proportioned in appearance, bright green in color, yellow and green in soup color, aromatic and glycolic in tea flavor, rich in vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and minerals and other nutrients, and fresh leaf tea is rich in selenium, which is beneficial to health.

Tianrun Dihan, good tea is long. The tea industry is the first pillar industry of Hongya agriculture, which brings rich comprehensive benefits to tea farmers. After Hongya "Yacha" was awarded the title of "China's Best Ecological Tea Garden Brand" in 2010, and after "Hongya Green Tea" was registered and protected by the National Agricultural Products Geographical Indication in December 2011, now "Wowu Chunxue" is also based on ecological business, The concept of industrial rich peasants, in-depth exploration of teahouse culture, inheritance of ancient tea-making skills, exerting brand advantages, devoting to industrial integration, and contributing to rural revitalization.
