Shangrao (Luyu Spring)

I am very happy because Guo discovered that Lu Yu had lived in seclusion in Shangrao, Jiangxi for 10 years, and increased Shangrao's trip in the middle.

Shangrao, called "Xinzhou" in ancient times, was already a tourist attraction as early as the Tang Dynasty, and there were countless sightseeing travel notes and poems sung by bureaucrats, celebrities and literati in previous dynasties.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Lu Yu descended from Tianmen, Hubei Province along the river in the first year of Zhide (756), visited temples, picked tea and tasted water, made friends with celebrities, came to Xinzhou (now Shangrao) and lived in Guangjiao Temple.

Lu Yu planted tea on the mountain where Guangjiao Temple is located (later this mountain was renamed Chashan Temple, and this place is now Shangrao No.1 Middle School), built a mountain house on the mountain, planted several acres of tea around the mountain house, painstakingly cultivated tea trees, and carefully produced tea. In order to taste tea accurately, Lu Yu dug a mountain spring beside the mountain house. "Its water color is white and sweet, and it is a milk spring; The color of the earth is red, also known as rouge well. It is said that Lu Yupin is "the fourth spring in the world". Later generations called this spring Lu Yu Spring. Lu Yu Spring has been restored in past dynasties. 19 15 years, when Duan Dacheng, then the magistrate of Shangrao County in the Republic of China, presided over the restoration, he wrote the four-character seal script of "Qingyuan Qingliu" in the well circle, which still exists today.

Because of the epidemic, Shangrao No.1 Middle School is closed to the public, but fortunately, we chatted with the doorman at the door with sincerity, which made him very moved. He sent me some photos of Lu Yu's spring and statue taken at school before, and I will always remember this kindness.

Lu Yu settled in Xinzhou (Shangrao), hiding in pines. He extensively collected information about tea, combined with his own practical experience in growing and drinking tea and investigations in various places, systematically summarized the experience of picking and drinking tea at that time, and completed the first monograph on tea science in China history and in the world. According to the Records of Raozhou County, when Lu Yu lived in Yugan Guanshan, he "chiseled a stone as a stove to cook tea", so Yugan has historical sites such as Lu Yu Tea Furnace and Lu Yu Boiling Spring Pavilion. Lu Yu lived in seclusion in Xinzhou 10 years.

In order to investigate tea affairs, Lu Yu traveled all over the mountains and rivers on both sides of Xinjiang and Wuyishan. He often wears a shawl, a short brown coat and a Ma Xie on his feet, picks tea on every mountain, drinks water under the saddle in spring, goes deep into the farmer's house, has too many mouths to visit and pens to record. He often recites scriptures and poems, hits trees with sticks, runs water with his hands, hesitates, and often comes back in tears at dusk. Back to Chashan, in the moonlight, Lu Yu took Chun Lai to make tea until midnight.

Lu Yu has won the respect and admiration of Shangrao people, who are happy and proud that Lu Yu once lived in Shangrao. More than 65,438+0,200 years later, Lu Yu Spring has been well preserved and Luyu Pavilion has been renovated. Not far away, the statue of Lu Yu attracted people from all walks of life to pay their respects. The newly-built street is named "Cha Sheng Road" and the newly-built park is named "Lu Yu Park". Lu Yu has added a lot of color to Shangrao's historical and cultural heritage.

At noon, I arrived in Shangrao. The atmosphere in high-speed railway station is spacious and tidy, and the hotel is by the river. How beautiful!

In the afternoon, they ran out of the hotel One ran to the Bank of Xinjiang, and the other ran to the pedestrian street. As a result, they were caught in heavy rain. The one who ran to the river bank ran in the rain 10 km! Then I went to the only vegetarian restaurant with Buddhist music as the background music. Although the restaurant is well decorated and the price of vegetables is not low, the so-called vegan is not pure, and there are scallion noodles. The oil in the dishes is the most we have eaten along the way. Anyway, talk is better than nothing, be content!

The next morning, we went to Shangrao Museum. I didn't expect the museum here to be built in an atmosphere. We first visited the Calligraphy Museum, which was the first time we saw one of the imperial examination papers in Qing Dynasty. The fine print is neat and neat, which shows that the students at that time had a deep foundation.

The second exhibition hall is a historical and cultural exhibition, introducing the life stories of Shangrao's ancient and modern celebrities, including Zhan Tianyou and Huang Jiasi. The layout of the exhibition hall is very cultural.

The third exhibition hall is the Shangrao Revolutionary History Exhibition, which saw the epic deeds of General Fang Zhimin and General Ye Ting.

I started running to Lu Yu Park, and I enjoyed running in Lu Yu Park. Xinjiang Academy, one of the four ancient academies in Jiangxi Province, was founded in the thirty-third year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1694) and was originally named Qujiang Academy. After fifty-one years of expansion, Kangxi changed its name to "Zhong Ling Jiangyuan". After eight years of Qianlong (1743), he built a building in Houshan to worship Zhu and renamed Ziyang Academy. Forty-six years after Qianlong, it was called Xinjiang Academy. Xinjiang Academy has more than ten antique ancient buildings, such as Zhong Ling Tower, Shupu Platform, Yitaxuan, Xixiu Pavilion, Rixin Bookstore and Yiletang. On the former site of Yiletang in the northeast of the Academy, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a monument to revolutionary martyrs in Shangrao and a tomb of martyrs in the ecliptic were built.

Lang Shu Lang's voice came from the back of the academy. It turned out to be a middle school. How happy it would be if the sages knew!

Next to the college is the hero wall, and on the steps is the monument to heroes and martyrs. Bow three times again. Many places and small cities we have visited have heroes' monuments. We really need to remember these pioneers in China.

This morning, we went to all the places we wanted to go in Shangrao. In the afternoon, we chose a simple and clean restaurant and continued to be vegetarian. Now, all kinds of meat dishes can no longer tempt us. The more vegetarian food we eat, the more comfortable we are:

It's time to bid farewell to Shangrao. From the origin of Shangrao and tea, we can see that Jiangxi is actually a famous tea-producing area in history, which has played an extremely brilliant role in the history of China tea and tea culture. As early as the Han Dynasty, monks in Lushan began to grow tea. In the Tang Dynasty, Zen master Huaihai established the rules of Zen tea. Lu Yu, Cha Sheng, designated the Valley Curtain Spring in Kang Wang of Lushan Mountain as the first spring in the world, and the Guangjiao Temple in Shangrao (now Shangrao No.1 Middle School) as the fourth spring in the world.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, wrote "Tea Spectrum" and "worships the new and changes things". Only by directly brewing loose tea with boiling water can it be popularized. Tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and was plain and bright. The production and sale of Jiangxi tea entered a prosperous period in the Tang Dynasty. Fuliang was the largest distribution center of tea trade in Southeast Asia at that time, and paid up to one-third of the country's tea tax.
