安溪铁观音故事和传说

观音梦

相传，清朝雍正三年(公元1725年)前后，有一位茶农，名叫魏荫。

他勤奋种茶，信仰观音。几十年来，他每天早晚都为观音像敬奉贡茶。

一天晚上，魏荫梦见他带着锄头出去，在一条小溪边的缝隙里发现了一棵茶树。茶枝结实、茂盛、芳香。魏荫正纳闷呢，正想俯身拣，突然传来一声狗吠，把魏荫从梦中惊醒。

第二天早上，魏荫沿着梦想的道路寻找过去。

没想到真让他在一处叫观音仑的石头缝里找到茶树，那茶树长的和梦中一样，老魏一下就认定了，这是观音给他托梦！

于是他小心翼翼的把茶树栽移回家，取名铁观音。

乾隆赐名

铁观音的名字与清代桐城学派创始人方苞，关系密切。

方苞初入国子监京求学时，安溪著名儒生李光地，是朝中内阁大学士。

李光地读完方苞的文章，惊叹于他的才华““韩（愈）欧（阳修）复出，北宋后未有”。

受茶村的影响，李光地喜欢喝茶，经常邀请方苞等人到府邸品尝家乡的安溪乌龙茶。

当茶泡打开时，房间里总有一股兰花的香味，悠长而宁静，魅力无穷，铭刻在方苞的记忆中。

乾隆六年的一个午后，方苞正在读着《皇清文颖》，这时候就有仆人禀告，有个同乡人请求接见。那人便是李光地的老乡王士让。

王士让是科举之路并顺利，直到45岁时他才考中进士。

这一次，当他被叫到京城时，王士让前来向方苞致敬，并向方苞赠送了他的家乡茶

当方苞看到王士让拿出的茶时，他感到很熟悉。

他知道李光地府邸过去喝的是安溪茶，但和他过去喝的茶略有不同。

第二天，方苞去朝廷见乾隆皇帝，推荐王士让，并把这茶献给皇帝。

乾隆发现这种茶的绿叶呈红边，条索密集。当杯子的盖子打开时，它很香。喝一口，牙齿和脸颊就会有芬芳之感，陶醉其中。

乾隆爷心下大异，便传来王士让详询此茶来历。王士让面圣后，细细讲述了安溪茶繁育传播的故事。

听完介绍，乾隆爷也是惊叹不已，他讲茶叶既黝黑且丰满，且这种茶被种在西平观音岩下。

于是他将其赐名——“铁观音”。

王士让一听，急忙跪下来感谢他。从此，安溪铁观音传遍了世界。

stories and legends

Guanyin Dream

According to legend, around the third year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1725), there was a tea farmer named Wei Yin.

He diligently grows tea and believes in Guanyin. For decades, he has served tribute tea to the Guanyin statue every morning and evening.

One night, Wei Yin dreamed that he went out with a hoe and found a tea tree in a crevice by a creek. Tea branches are firm, lush and fragrant. Wei Yin was wondering, and was about to lean over to pick it up when a dog barked suddenly woke Wei Yin from his dream.

The next morning, Wei Yin followed the path of his dreams in search of the past.

Unexpectedly, he would find a tea tree in a crevice of stones called Guanyinlun. The tea tree grew as in the dream. Old Wei immediately decided that it was Guanyin entrusting him with the dream!

So he carefully moved the tea tree home and named it Tieguanyin.

Qianlong gave the name

Tieguanyin's name is closely related to Fang Bao, the founder of the Tongcheng School of the Qing Dynasty.

When Fang Bao first entered Guozijian to study in Beijing, Li Guangdi, a famous scholar in Anxi, was a senior scholar in the cabinet of the DPRK and China.

After reading Fang Bao's article, Li Guangdi was amazed at his talent ""Han (Yu) Ou (Yang Xiu) came back, not after the Northern Song Dynasty".

Influenced by the tea village, Li Guangdi likes to drink tea, and often invites Fang Bao and others to his residence to taste the Anxi oolong tea in his hometown.

When the tea bubbles are opened, there is always a scent of orchid in the room, long and quiet, full of charm, etched in Fang Bao's memory.

One afternoon in the sixth year of Qianlong's reign, Fang Bao was reading "Huangqing Wenying". At this time, a servant reported that a fellow villager asked for an interview. That person was Wang Shirang, a fellow of Li Guangdi.

Wang Shirang's road to the imperial examination was smooth, and it was not until the age of 45 that he was admitted to the jinshi.

This time, when he was called to the capital, Wang Shirang came to pay tribute to Fang Bao and presented Fang Bao with tea from his hometown

When Fang Bao saw the tea that Wang Shirang brought out, he felt very familiar.

He knew that Li Guangdi's mansion used to drink Anxi tea, but it was slightly different from the tea he used to drink.

The next day, Fang Bao went to the court to see Emperor Qianlong, recommended Wang Shirang, and presented the tea to the emperor.

Qianlong discovered that the green leaves of this tea were red-edged and densely corded. When the lid of the cup is opened, it is fragrant. Take a sip, and your teeth and cheeks will be fragrant and intoxicated.

Qianlong's heart was very different, and Wang Shirang asked about the origin of this tea in detail. Wang Shirang told the story of the breeding and spreading of Anxi tea in detail.

After listening to the introduction, Master Qianlong was also amazed. He said that the tea leaves were dark and plump, and this tea was grown under Guanyin Rock in Xiping.

So he named it "Tieguanyin".

Upon hearing this, Wang Shirang hurriedly knelt down to thank him. Since then, Tieguanyin has spread all over the world.
