Mengding 蒙顶山, The first tea garden
The ancestor of tea planting
Thanks to its outstanding quality, Mengding tea garden was granted the honorific title of Imperial Tea Garden in 1186, during Song dynasty. More than a millennium earlier, in Western Han dynasty (206 b.c.e - 9 c.e.), this same mountain was home to Wu Linzhen 吴理真, revered as the earliest tea grower. To this day, the first seven tea bushes planted by Wu Linzhen are secluded in Mengding garden, guarded by a stone jaguar.
sweet dew well
According to the legend, Wu Linzhen, later nominated Master Ganlu 甘露大师 by Emperor Xiaozhong of Song dynasty, watered these first seven tea plants with a soft and sweet water from a nearby well, that got its name, still engraved in red characters.
The secluded temple of Yǒngxìngsì 永兴寺, surrounded by the green breath of lush vegetation, is still a vivid picture of the humble and ascetic way of life that is practiced in this quiet place.
