Umbrella has a very long history in China. It is said that it was made in the era of the Yellow Emperor more than 4,000 years ago. The ancient umbrella was also called "Gai". Like a fan, it was originally made of bird hair. With the appearance of silk fabrics, silk umbrellas are gradually adopted.

Xihu silk umbrella was created in the early 1930s. It is said that it was created by Zhu Zhenfei, a worker of Du Jinsheng Silk Weaving Factory. Because of its proper selection of materials, exquisite production and originality, it was welcomed by people as soon as it was listed. 1935 In the spring, the first workshop specializing in making silk umbrellas appeared in Hangzhou, which is the famous "Bamboo Umbrella Works". After the founding of New China, the state-owned Hangzhou West Lake Umbrella Factory was established, and the Hangzhou West Lake Silk Umbrella Group was established. At present, there are more than 400 employees, including researchers 10, with an annual output of 600,000 silk umbrellas, two thirds of which are exported. Due to the improvement of artificial umbrella making technology, silk umbrellas are becoming more and more exquisite. Although there are all kinds of automatic umbrellas that can be folded freely in the international market at present, Xihu silk umbrella still wins people's love with its unique style.

There are more than 20 kinds such as red, bordeaux, pink, sky blue and orange. Spray, brush, embroider and draw are also used on the umbrella surface to make a beautiful Xihu silk umbrella, which has to go through three stages: selecting bamboo, making umbrella ribs and putting on the umbrella surface. Choose bamboo, commonly known as "bamboo". Every year, Bailuyuan Umbrella Factory sends experienced masters to Yuhang, Fenghua, Anji, Deqing and other bamboo producing areas to climb mountains and search among bamboo forests, and select bamboos that are over three years old, with a thickness of five or six centimeters, uniform color and no spots or scars.

Longjing tea

People call it "golden bud" and "unparalleled product", and it has become a national advanced gift tea.

The mountains around the West Lake in Hangzhou are famous for producing famous tea. In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu wrote the world's first monograph on tea, Tea Classic, which recorded the production inspection of Tianxing and Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. I wonder how many people have praised the famous tea produced here. Historically, Longjing tea in West Lake has four categories: lion, dragon, cloud and tiger. Come back now.

"Lion", "dragon" and "plum" are three types. Among them, Shifeng Longjing is the first. Its yellow-green color, rich aroma and sour taste are really the best in tea. 198 1 year, Shifeng Longjing was rated as a national quality product and won the national gold medal. According to modern scientific analysis, Longjing tea contains more chemical components such as amino acids, catechins, chlorophyll and vitamin C than other teas, which is particularly beneficial to human health. No wonder the ancients said Longjing tea was "as expensive as gold".

Longjing tea is produced in Xihu Township, Hangzhou, and the tea gardens are mainly distributed around Longjing Village in the southwest of the West Lake. The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, Longjing tea is excellent, and Longjing tea has unique natural conditions. The climate here is mild, the four seasons are distinct, and the rainfall is abundant and even, especially during the spring tea period, it is often drizzling, covered with mountains and plains, and misty. Most tea gardens are located in valleys or hillsides. The soil is mostly sandy soil, which is soft in structure, breathable and permeable, and contains more available phosphoric acid, which is beneficial to the growth and development of tea trees, resulting in deep roots and dense leaves, evergreen seasons, more germination rounds and long picking time. From the beginning of weeping willows to the end of the forest, there are tea picking. The West Lake Scenic Area outside Longjing Tea Garden, on Lion Peak, meijiawu Lane, Yun Qi Road, Tiger Running Spring, Lingyin Temple, and along Jiuxi 18th Stream, are full of continuous trees and swaying bamboos. Under the shade, a tea garden is green and dyed, and a large number of tea mountains are connected with the sky, adding a lot of poetry to the lakes and mountains.

Longjing tea has beautiful appearance and high quality, which cannot be separated from exquisite processing and production. The frying of super Longjing tea is divided into two processes: "green pot" and "emblem pot", in which there is no twisting, which is a major feature of the production. Cooking gestures, such as shaking, holding, squeezing, throwing, standing, stretching, buckling, grasping, pressing and grinding, are called "Top Ten Techniques". A kilo of super Longjing tea has 30,000-40,000 buds, which need 6 workers to pick and fry for more than 4 hours. A skilled tea frying worker can fry one kilogram of tea a day.

At present, meijiawu, Longjing and Shuangfeng 13 villages in Xihu Township produce tea. These tea-producing villages have their own tea processing plants, and the annual output of Longjing tea in the township is about 2,000 tons. Among them, meijiawu accounts for about one third of the township. Longjing tea, a flowing tiger, is famous for its "two wonders of the West Lake". Visitors to Hangzhou will soon be able to drink a cup of Longjing tea by Tiger Running Spring.
