In yesterday's article, I wrote about the origin of the phoenix single bush.
It is a descendant of the Narcissus transplanted from the North Garden.
Then, there was a tea friend who loved the village gu Chen, who expressed a reminder.
Because, the DNA serial number of the Phoenix Mountain Song species and a certain type of Phoenix single bush is not the same. According to this, it can be proved that the phoenix single bush does not come from the daffodils in the Beiyuan tribute tea.
These tea friends did check the information.
The DNA sequence numbers of the three thousand-year-old Song species in Phoenix Mountain are indeed different from the serial numbers of today's Phoenix single bushes.
So why did the village girl Chen still say conclusively that the phoenix single bush, it is the descendant of the daffodils in the Beiyuan Gong Tea Garden transplanted to Guangdong?
Don't be in a hurry, the evidence will be released slowly.

First of all, please go to CNKI to find a document.
A scholar named Weng Shaobo published a paper entitled "Using the Development of Phoenix Single Bush Tea as a Clue to Try to Identify the Names of "Song Seeds"".
Weng Scholar's paper, when writing, referred to the following literature:
Qiu Taorui, Chaozhou Tea, Guangdong Science and Technology Press, 2009.
Wang Zhenheng and Wang Guangzhi, editors-in-chief, China Famous Tea Chronicles, China Agriculture Press, 2000.
Huang Baizi, China Phoenix Tea, Phoenix Tea Professional Association, 2003.
Qiu Taorui, eds., China Phoenix Tea, Tea History Tea Affair Tea People, Shenzhen Newspaper Group Publishing House, 2015.
Huang Ruiguang, Editor-in-Chief, Phoenix Shancong, China Agriculture Press, 2006.
Huang Baizi, Phoenix Tea Story Collection, compiled and printed by Phoenix Tea Professional Association, 2013.
It can be seen that I have checked many, many professional materials and written it.
The reason why Cungu Chen cites Weng Shaobo's scholar's research views on phoenix single clusters is also based on this.
Based on the fact that he did not hearsay or take the meaning out of context, but went to the data in a down-to-earth manner, went to the old paper pile, and studied the conclusions, which are very consistent with the historical truth.
This is why I dare to put his research into yesterday's article.
Today I still want to borrow the articles of Weng scholars.
After everyone has read his article, they must know why the phoenix single bush is called the phoenix single bush. How is the Narcissus of Beiyuan related to the Phoenix Single Cluster, and why the DNA sequence number that best reflects the origin of the Phoenix Single Cluster is different from the three Song species.
However, it is estimated that there are some tea friends who are too lazy to read the paper.
Then, in the next text, the village girl Chen summed it up, refined the key points, and let the ranking officials clearly and clearly know that the Phoenix Single Cluster was the descendant of the past Narcissus of Beiyuan.
Immediate.

The first thing to solve is the problem of inconsistencies between the DNA of the Song species and the phoenix single bush.
According to some data, the Song species are the tea plants that are recognized as surviving in the Song Dynasty on the Phoenix Mountain, and their DNA sequence numbers are different from the phoenix single bush.
It's really different.
Phoenix Mountain is recognized as a Song species, there are three plants.
The three plants are divided into two types of incense, one is yellow branch incense and the other is zhilan incense.
So, which song species is considered to be different from the DNA of the phoenix single bush in the data? Is it yellow shoot incense or zhilan incense?
This information does not specify.
This is the first imprecise.
The second imprecise place is that it does not specify which strain the phoenix single bush is compared with the SONG species.
Most phoenix clumps are sexually reproduced and are distinguished by scent type.
Then, in terms of probability, the DNA sequence numbers between different fragrance types of phoenix single clusters are also different.
The fragrance of the phoenix single bush, roughly estimated, there are as many as thirty or forty kinds. There are as many scents as there are DNA sequences.
So what kind of fragrance-type phoenix single bush DNA is used to compare it with song seeds?
No instructions.
This is also an imprecise place.
Fortunately, the DNA sequence numbers of Song species and Phoenix single bush are indeed not exactly the same, otherwise, this data would be embarrassing.
《4》
So, since the village girl Chen emphasized that the phoenix single bush is the descendant of the Beiyuan Narcissus, then why is the phoenix single bush different from the DNA sequence number of the Song species?
Not the same, it's normal.
After all, from the Song Dynasty to the present, the daffodils transplanted to the Phoenix Mountain have been breeding for thousands of years, breeding for hundreds of generations, and after hundreds of generations, how can they be exactly the same as the genes of the ancestors?
There are some differences, yes.
Because, tea plants, pay attention to sexual reproduction.
Especially during the Song Dynasty, tea hybridization and grafting technology was not yet developed (it is rumored that the grafting technology was only applied to the Phoenix Daffodil in 1898), and those first transplanted to the Phoenix Mountain Beiyuan Daffodils bred offspring, still dominated by sexual natural reproduction.
That is, the use of seeds to reproduce offspring.
As a result of sexual reproduction, the traits of offspring and mother are not the same.
The earliest Beiyuan daffodils have different traits from the extant Song species.
The first generation is not the same as the mother.
The second generation is not the same as the first generation, and it is even more different from the mother.
The third generation and the second generation are not the same, and the first generation is not the same, and the mother, then the difference is even greater.
From the Great Song Dynasty to the present, more than a thousand years have passed, and genes have long experienced countless hybridizations and mutations.
There have been countless iterations between the current Phoenix Single Cluster and the Narcissus Mother Tree transplanted from Beiyuan in the past, and the DNA between them is not the same, isn't it normal?
Therefore, the message that the phoenix single bush is a group species, not a tea friend of daffodils, is actually proving that the village girl Chen's point of view is correct.
Narcissus to phoenix, has been sexual reproduction, sexual reproduction out of each generation, ad gene is changing, changed for thousands of years, the offspring of this batch of daffodils, can not become a group species?
《5》
Finally, let's take a look at the development trajectory of Narcissus after transplanting it to Phoenix Mountain.
During the Song Dynasty, Narcissus came to Phoenix Mountain.
It took root here and gave birth to a new oolong tea group called Guangdong Oolong.
After it came to Phoenix, with the ascension of Lao Zhu to the throne, the policy of abolishing tuan tea Xingshan tea was implemented, and its name became local customs and changed to Phoenix Tea.
Zhao wasted zhu xing, the name of narcissus, may have committed a taboo, transplanted daffodil tea tree, change the name is inevitable.
Just like Sima Qian's eldest son changed his surname to "Tong" and his second son changed his surname to "Feng". It's all about avoiding secrecy, for future generations to continue to survive.
At present, in the local tea origin legend of Phoenix, there is a story of the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Fu who fled to Phoenix Mountain and met a bird's beak tea branch to give him a thirst to quench his thirst.
This can be interpreted as the history of tea production in Phoenix Mountain during the Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, it was still hundreds of years late to the Northern Song Dynasty, where Beiyuan was at its peak.
The story of the origin of phoenix tea also proves from another angle that the origin of phoenix tea is later than that of daffodils.
After Zhao Hao, Phoenix Tea finally had its own new name, Bird's Mouth Tea.
The name bird's beak, on the one hand, comes from the story of the bird's mouth to give tea to the emperor, on the other hand, it is also because the daffodil young leaves resemble the beak of the bird - history finally overlaps here - the ranking of officials, remember the Song Huizong, the daffodil young leaves were called finch tongues?
Bird's beak, bird's tongue, aren't they talking about the same shape, the same tea?
Aren't they all aliases for Narcissus young leaves?
Phoenix tea is daffodil, and this is confirmation.
《6》
Later, Phoenix Tea finally regained its daffodil name, which was recorded in the "SF County Chronicle" in 1943: "Phoenix tea is also known as Daffodil, also known as Bird Beak Tea. ”
Weng Shaobo scholar said, "The Chronicle of Chinese Famous Teas, published in 2000, records that Phoenix Narcissus was one of the more than forty famous teas in the Qing Dynasty. ”
Look, during the Qing Dynasty, the name of the Phoenix Narcissus had already come out.
Scholar Weng added: "In 1993, Professor Chen Rafter's book "History of Chinese Tea Export" first appeared the word 'single bush phoenix'. At this point, Phoenix Tea has a distinction between 'single bush' and 'daffodil'. ”
Look, the name of Phoenix Single Cong only began to appear in 1993.
The appearance of "Phoenix Narcissus" predates "Phoenix Single Cong", and in those long years when the name "Phoenix Single Cong" did not appear, "Phoenix Narcissus" was its only name.
The ranking officer must have wondered why after the name of the Phoenix Narcissus was already there, a new name of the Phoenix Single Cluster was created?
This is mentioned in the "Chinese Famous Tea Chronicle".
After Gaiyin Beiyuan Narcissus took root in Phoenix Mountain, for hundreds of years, it has been dominated by sexual reproduction, and the descendants of these Beiyuan Narcissus have undergone very great changes in their traits with their ancestors, and these changes are reflected in the aroma and taste, each of which is different.
These daffodil descendants with different aromas and tastes are picked together and processed, and it is difficult to make a good tea with characteristics.
In order to make Phoenix tea stand out in the country, tea farmers have adopted a new method - single plant harvesting and processing, which has the name of "single bush".
Later, in the actual harvest, people called the offspring of daffodils of higher quality as single bushes, and the offspring of daffodils with more common traits were called daffodils.
This has what everyone sees now, phoenix tea has "phoenix daffodils" and "phoenix single bush" points.
《7》
To sum up.
Phoenix Daffodils come from Beiyuan Daffodils.
The Phoenix Single Bush comes from the Phoenix Narcissus.
The current Phoenix single bush is obtained from the phoenix daffodil tea tree with excellent characteristics, and the tea made by the offspring of the ordinary quality daffodil tea tree is collectively called the phoenix daffodil.
Everyone understands it.
It's really emotional.
These Beiyuan daffodils who went to Lingnan lost their names in the changes of history. In the turmoil of history, he regained his name.
Moreover, in the choice of history, a new name was obtained.
Shan Cong, the new name of this phoenix daffodil, has overshadowed its real name.
With the rise of single bushes, the history from Beiyuan Daffodil to Phoenix Daffodil is gradually not known.
It also needs the heart to pick it up from the old paper pile.
It's gratifying, it's sad, it's sighing.
