Why do we drink "Guyu Tea" during the Guyu solar term?
As one of my country's traditional festivals, Guyu naturally has various cultural customs, and drinking "Guyu tea" is a special one among them. The Fortune Teller website has carefully compiled detailed information about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the lunar calendar days in the third month, please come to Mr. Shui Mo!Why do we drink "Guyu Tea" during the Guyu solar term?Guyu means "rain water brings forth all kinds of grains", and it is also the last solar term in spring. After this solar term, rainfall gradually increases and air humidity increases. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, a humid environment will cause some discomfort to the human body.Grain Rain Tea, nourished by rain and dew, is rich in nutrients and has a compelling aroma. It tastes mellow and smooth, and is especially good for the human body. It can clear the blockages in the whole body: tea drives away dampness, tea prevents disease, and tea nourishes vitality. It is said that drinking tea on the day of Grain Rain can clear internal heat, ward off evil spirits, and improve eyesight, so there is a custom of picking tea on the day of Grain Rain in the south. No matter what the weather is on the day of Grain Rain, people will go to the tea mountains to pick some new tea and drink it to pray for health. Guyu tea, also known as pre-rain tea, is spring tea picked during the Guyu season, also known as second spring tea. The temperature in spring is moderate, with abundant rainfall. In addition, the tea trees have rested and regenerated after half a year in winter, making the spring shoots and leaves plump, emerald green, soft, and rich in vitamins and amino acids, making the spring tea fresh and fragrant. In addition to tender buds, Guyu tea also has one bud and one tender leaf or one bud and two tender leaves. The tea leaves with one bud and one tender leaf look like an ancient gun with an unfurled flag when soaked in water, so they are called flag spears; the tea leaves with one bud and two tender leaves look like a sparrow's tongue, so they are called sparrow tongue. They are the same best products as Qingming tea throughout the year. Generally, pre-rain tea is more economical, has a good shape in water, and tastes as good as pre-Qingming tea. Most tea drinkers usually prefer Guyu tea. There is also a folk legend that real Guyu tea can bring the dead back to life. I'm sure many people have heard of this, but it's just a legend. You can imagine how important this real Guyu tea is in people’s minds. |
