Who is the legacy of Marquis Wu?

According to legend, it was Zhuge Liang.

The legend of "Marquis Wu's legacy":

Among the various ethnic groups in Yunnan, the legend of "Marquis Wu's legacy" is still circulating. Marquis Wu was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. In 225 AD, he led his army to conquer Larkong, an important town in northern Myanmar, thereby opening up trade routes to India and Myanmar. Due to the hot and humid weather and numerous mosquitoes in Yunnan, epidemic diseases are prevalent among the military. Local doctors boiled water with wild tea leaves and gave it to the soldiers, which brought the disease under control.

Zhuge Liang realized the function of tea. When he returned to Shu after the southern expedition, he saw that many sick and weak soldiers could not follow him back to the country and could only stay there, so Zhuge Liang made two tea leaves. Things that have a far-reaching impact on development: one is to purchase tea seeds from local tribal leaders and transport them back to Shu for sowing; the other is to let the soldiers who stayed behind plant tea in the local area and use the tea as a commodity to be exchanged with Shu in the future.

These two measures taken by Zhuge Liang not only found a way out for the remaining soldiers, but also promoted the development of tea in the local area. Up to now, the local Jinuo people still regard Zhuge Liang as the ancestor of tea and hold worship activities every year.

Pu'er tea history:

The earliest history of Pu'er tea can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has a history of nearly 2,000 years. At that time, Pu'er tea was not called "Pu'er tea" . In the Tang Dynasty, Pu'er City belonged to the Yinsheng Festival, so Pu'er tea was called "Yinsheng Tea" at that time; in the Song Dynasty, in order to exchange war horses with ethnic minorities, the imperial court established a tea-horse exchange market of "tea for horses". Conveniently, Pu'er tea was made into "Jingtuan tea" and sold to Sichuan and Tibet areas.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Pu'er tea was named "Pu tea" and was one of the important commodities traded in the market. From the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Pu'er tea was at its peak. There is a record: "Scholars and common people "Everything is Pu'er tea", and Pu'er tea was listed as a tribute and was appreciated by the court, which greatly promoted the development of Pu'er tea.
