Edit the historical origin of this paragraph.
Longjing tea has a long history, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China. According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong visited Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote a poem in Tianzhu, Longjing Tea District, entitled "Watching Tea and Making Songs". West Lake Longjing tea is ranked first with "lion (peak), dragon (well), cloud (border), tiger (running) and plum (home dock)", and West Lake Longjing tea ranks first. Longjing tea is straight and sharp, flat and handsome, smooth and even, and yellow in color. After brewing, the aroma is high and lasting, and the fragrance is fragrant; Tangse apricot is green, clear and bright, with light green leaves and upright buds, which are lifelike. Tea soup is refreshing, fragrant between teeth, and endless aftertaste. At that time, the famous Cha Sheng Lu Yu wrote the world's first monograph on tea, Tea Classic, which recorded the tea production in Tianzhu and Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. During the Northern Song Dynasty, "Baoyun Tea", "Xianglin Tea" and "Baiyun Tea" produced in the West Lake Mountains all became tribute teas. In the Yuan Dynasty, the quality of Longjing tea was further improved. In the Ming Dynasty, the "Qiantang County Records" contained "Longjing tea, which is made of tofu pudding, and its color is sweet and different from other mountains". Longjing tea is famous far and wide. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and visited Longjing tea area to taste Longjing tea. He was full of praise and named the 18 tea tree in front of Gong Hu Temple as "Imperial Tea". Since then, Longjing tea has become more valuable and famous all over the world. As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Longjing tea area was initially formed. At that time, Xianglin tea in Xianglin Cave in Lingyin, Baiyun tea in Bai Yunfeng, and Baoyun tea in Baoyun Mountain in Geling were listed as tributes. A monk of the Northern Song Dynasty, a master of eloquence, lived in seclusion in his hometown, where he and other writers drank tea and recited poems in Shousheng Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing. Su Dongpo praised Longjing tea with the poem "Baiyun Peak has two new flags, the green is long, the fresh valley is rainy and the spring is rainy", and wrote "Old Longjing" and other plaques in calligraphy. Up to now, there are still hanging rocks at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Shousheng Temple Gong Hu Temple and Shibagong Tea Garden. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou became the national capital, and tea production further developed. In the Yuan Dynasty, tea produced near Longjing began to appear. A tea lover, Yu Bosheng, wrote a poem about drinking tea in Youlong Well, which said, "Wandering around Longjing, the clouds will clear up and paint. Be a man and love guests, and fill the sinus with water. Sitting in my room, the fragrance won't give off. But when you see the gourd ladle in the clear water, the shadow of jade falls in the blue cave. I cooked golden buds, but I didn't take Grain Rain, but I brought two or three sons, and I couldn't bear to wash them three times. " It can be seen that at that time, the Zen master took a fancy to the quiet scenery around Longjing, and there were good springs and good tea, so he came to drink tea together to enjoy the scenery. In the Ming dynasty, Longjing tea began to appear, and its reputation gradually spread far and wide, and it began to go out of the temple and be drunk by ordinary people. During the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang Bianzhi recorded: "The tea in Hangjun County is always inferior to that produced by Longjing, and the fine buds before the rain are especially precious and not productive, so it should be treasured." In the Annals of Hangzhou in the Wanli Period of Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that "Old Longjing, the famous tea in its place, is the crown of the two mountains". Wanli's "Qiantang County Records" also records that "tea Longjing, as bean curd, is sweet and different from other mountains." Longjing Tea has been listed as a famous tea in China at this time. Longjing Tea is included in the Records of Famous Tea written by Huang Yizheng in Ming Dynasty and National Famous Tea compiled by Xu Wenchang, a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. If Longjing tea was a famous tea in Ming Dynasty, it was one of the best in Qing Dynasty. Yi Hao, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, made a wanton experiment: "The tea name is Zhejiang Longjing, Jiangnan mustard and Fujian Wuyiyun." Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and came to Longjing Tea District four times to watch tea picking, tea tasting and poetry writing. The eighteen tea trees in front of Gong Hu Temple are also called "Imperial Tea". Since then, Longjing tea has been well-known at home and abroad, and tea seekers are in an endless stream. Xu Ke, a close friend, said: "The green tea produced in various provinces is rarely dark blue, but Longjing in Hangzhou is dark blue. The rest of the tea leaves are curly and round, but Hangzhi Longjing is straight. " During the Republic of China, the famous Longjing tea became the first famous tea in China. After the founding of New China, the state actively supported the development of Longjing tea, which was listed as a national diplomatic gift tea. Under the care of the government, people in tea areas changed the old wooden pots into electric pots, cultivated new fine varieties of Longjing tea, popularized advanced cultivation and harvesting techniques, and formulated grading quality standards for Longjing tea, which made Longjing tea production embark on a scientific and standardized development path. Judging from the historical evolution of Longjing tea, the reason why Longjing tea can be famous and developed is that its quality is good and its historical and cultural origin is inseparable. Therefore, Longjing tea is not only the value of tea, but also a kind of cultural and artistic value, which contains profound cultural connotation and historical origin.
