铁观音茶西坪镇发源地-铁观音母树产地

铁观音起源于福建省泉州市安溪县西平镇，一个大山深处不为人知的小镇。一进西平镇，路边就有一条景观带，上面刻着“铁观音茶西平发源地”，提醒你铁观音的母树就在不远处。

看铁观音母树不容易。开车经过西平镇的乡镇，沿着盘山公路往山上开，直到接近山顶。

走近铁观音母树景区，有一个大门，上面写着“御南岩铁观音”几个字。旁边的路正在修。据说它将被开发成一个风景区。

从大门进去，几分钟就到了铁观音母树景区。当你抬头的时候，你已经到达了山顶。山顶上有几个大字“安溪铁观音产地”。

爬上石梯，一座“石公馆”出现在眼前，铁观音母树就住在这座“公馆”里。

走近一看，只见“府”前镌刻着“铁观音母树”几个大字。

我终于看到了母树。闻名中外的铁观音，最初就是来源于这些200年的母树。经过几百年的风雨洗礼，母树依然枝繁叶茂，苍劲有力，繁衍成漫山遍野的茶树。

母树左侧有一块石碑，上面刻着很多字。别看了，肯定是母树起源的介绍。

右边还立了一块石碑，上面刻着“铁观音母树”，木字旁边还有一丛不熟悉的字。罗天修士并不知道，在询问中也没有这个词。

抬头一看，“府”四周刻着“帝旨”二字。相传乾隆年间，秀才王世让在一个灯光刺眼的荒园里发现了一棵茶树，于是精心栽培，采摘成成品。乾隆皇帝进贡后，见茶叶“色泽黑亮，重如铁，形美如观音之掌”，龙心甚喜，遂赐茶名“铁观音”。

如今，铁观音茶除了在福建、广东等地销售外，还在国外、缅甸、外国、印度尼西亚、新加坡、马来亚、菲律宾、香港等地销售。母树确实被忽视了。很少有人知道整个景区都是冷清的，我是唯一的游客。

不过，铁观音诞生地的旅游景点开发相关工作目前正在紧锣密鼓地进行。以铁观音茶文化为主题，以古民居为特色，整合特色茶文化资源，打造“原乡十里茶路”，将西平打造成为一个集寻根、探源、茶旅为一体的铁观音特色小镇。此外，安溪铁观音的发源地——茶王大赛也在这里举行。未来，铁观音母树将不再孤独，越来越多的人会来一睹母树的风采。

Tieguanyin originated in Xiping Town, Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, an unknown town deep in the mountains. As soon as you enter Xiping Town, there is a landscape belt on the side of the road, which is engraved with "Xiping · Birthplace of Tieguanyin Tea", reminding you that the mother tree of Tieguanyin is not far away.

It is not easy to see the Tieguanyin mother tree. Drive through the township of Xiping Town and drive up the mountain along the Panshan Highway until it is close to the top of the mountain.

When approaching the Tieguanyin Mother Tree Scenic Spot, there is a gate with the words "Imperial South Rock Tieguanyin" written on it. The road next to it is being repaired. It is said that it will be developed into a scenic spot.

Go in through the gate, and you will arrive at the Tieguanyin Mother Tree Scenic Area in a few minutes. When you look up, you have reached the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain are several big characters "The Origin of Anxi Tieguanyin".

Climbing up the stone ladder, a "stone mansion" appears in front of you, and the Tieguanyin mother tree lives in this "mansion".

When I got closer, I saw the big characters "Tieguanyin Mother Tree" inscribed in front of the "mansion".

I finally saw the mother tree. The famous Tieguanyin at home and abroad was originally derived from these 200-year-old mother trees. After hundreds of years of baptism of wind and rain, the mother tree is still luxuriant, vigorous and powerful, multiplying into tea trees all over the mountains and plains.

There is a stone tablet on the left side of the mother tree with many characters engraved on it. Don't look at it, it must be an introduction to the origin of the mother tree.

A stone tablet was also erected on the right, with "Tieguanyin Mother Tree" engraved on it, and an unfamiliar word with a clump next to the wooden word. Brother Tianluo didn't know it, and there was no such word in the query.

Looking up, the word "Emperor's Edict" was engraved around the "mansion". According to legend, during the Qianlong period, scholar Wang Shirang found a tea tree in a barren garden with dazzling lights, so he cultivated it carefully and picked it into finished products. After paying tribute, Emperor Qianlong saw the tea "black in color and luster, heavy like iron, and beautiful in appearance like the palms of Guanyin", and the dragon's heart was very happy, so he gave the tea the name "Tieguanyin".

Today, in addition to being sold in Fujian and Guangdong, Tieguanyin tea has been sold in foreign countries, Myanmar, foreign countries, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaya, the Philippines and Hong Kong. The mother tree is indeed neglected. Few people know that the whole scenic spot is deserted, and I am the only tourist.

However, the work related to the development of tourist attractions in the birthplace of Tieguanyin is currently in full swing. With the theme of Tieguanyin tea culture and the characteristics of ancient dwellings, it integrates special tea cultural resources to create the "Original Township Ten Mile Tea Road" and build Xiping into a It is a characteristic town of Tieguanyin integrating root search, source exploration and tea travel. In addition, the Tea King Competition, the birthplace of Anxi Tieguanyin, is also held here. In the future, the Tieguanyin mother tree will no longer be lonely, and more and more people will come to see the demeanor of the mother tree.
