Human history

Since the Qing government set up a general tea shop in Simao in 1729, Simao has become the distribution center of Pu'er tea. More than 100 years ago, when Ji Xiangting, a native of Jinggu, promoted tea planting and planted the first tea tree in order to change the poverty of his hometown, he might not be sure whether planting tea could really change the poverty and backwardness of his hometown? When he and his fellow countryman Ji Renshou founded "hengfengyuan" tea house in Jinggu street, he probably didn't think about what else his "hengfengyuan" tea house could bring besides managing tea accidents? One hundred years later, when you walk through Jinggu street, which is now full of tea and fragrant with tea, and come to his graveyard to explore the past, you will deeply feel that the prosperity of xiaojinggu tea market and the happiness of the people are closely related to Ji Xiangting, a former Qing Dynasty Jinshi. While Ji Xiangting vigorously promoted tea planting, Li Wenxiang, another native of Jinggu, founded a private tea processing workshop, which used high-quality sun dried green Mao tea as raw material and steamed moon cake shaped group tea, also known as valley tea. Group tea was sold in Xiaguan. Xiaguan merchants imitated "bowl shaped tea" and transported to Yibin and Tuojiang in Sichuan Province through Kunming and Zhaotong. "Tuojiang water, Xiaguan tea, high aroma, mellow taste, good quality." The tea is sold well and is known as "Tuocha". Li Wenxiang's private tea processing workshop group tea processing, laid the "Tuo tea" prototype, but also opened up the Jinggu Township tea market. After large-scale picking of tea on both sides of Jinggu River, Ji Xiangting and his family Ji Renshou founded hengfengyuan tea house in xiaojinggu street in 1912, and set up a semicolon in Nanzheng street of Kunming to sell Pu'er tea. "Hengfengyuan" tea house relies on the high-quality Pu'er tea produced by tea gardens on both sides of Jinggu River, and its business is booming day by day. After "hengfengyuan" tea house, tea houses dealing in tea business have sprung up in Jinggu street. In addition to meilikang, zhenxingxiang and Dongjia tea shops opened by local people Kang Shaoyin, Yang maoxing and master Dong, Jingdong local tyrant Liang Xinglou has also set up "tongyuchang" tea house in Jinggu street, followed by tea houses in Sichuan, Kunming, Dali, Weishan, Xinping, Zhenyuan and Pu'er There were as many as 27 tea houses in Jinggu Township, and several of them set up semicolons in Kunming. It can be seen how prosperous the tea market was at that time. Ji Xiangting's epitaph records: "the remote areas of the past have changed into the towns where merchants gather. The national economy and people's livelihood are getting richer and the local culture is developing.". The 26th year of the Republic of China, 1937, is an extraordinary year in the history of Jinggu tea. According to historical records, it is the peak of Jinggu tea market. In this year, there was a big fire in Jinggu street, and hengfengyuan tea house was burned down, storing more than 1000 teas. Ji Xiangting, who was in love with his neighbors, died this year. After Ji Xiangting's death, people built a huge tomb for him, with exquisite carvings of dragon, lion, unicorn and other mascots. More than 100 years have passed since Ji Xiangting planted the first tea in order to change the poor and backward appearance of his neighbors. Now every family in Jinggu Township grows and manages tea and becomes rich by tea. Modern Pu'er tea processing plants such as lijiguzhuang, Changtai hengfengyuan and Xinming appear on xiaojinggu street. Jinggu township has experienced ups and downs in the years. Tea brands such as hengfengyuan, meilikang, Zhenxing Xiang and Dongjia tea shop have also been lost in the long history. However, what will never change is the reputation of Jinggu Township tea as "fragrant, mellow and good quality". Jinggu Township tea still continues its immortal Legend of "food and clothing". In the old days, the ancient roads and bridges connecting the ancient roads in Sichuan and Tibet are now looming in the mountains of Jinggu township. Beside the tomb of Ji Xiangting in Jijia village, a large number of tea trees accompany the "pure filial" Ji Xianggong. The breeze blows, the delicate tea sways in the wind, and the air is filled with the fragrance of tea. Time seems to be back in the Guangxu years when Ji Xiangting cultivated tea.
