Pingyang is located in Wenzhou, south of the Yangtze River, and has produced good tea since ancient times. "Tang Shu Food and Goods Chronicles" recorded: "There are 55 counties in 10 prefectures of tea in Zhejiang, and there are four counties named Yongjia, Angu, Hengyang (that is, Pingyang) and Lecheng. "During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 13 tea farms in the country, and Wenzhou County built a tea farm in Pingyang, set up a special tea management institution, implemented the "prohibition law", paid tea tax, and the tea planting and tea making skills ranked at the leading level in the country. "History of the Song Dynasty: Food and Goods Lower Six": "In the first year of Chongning, the Russian Zhulu Cuo set up the tea affairs official...... Wenzhou to Pingyang. "From the middle of the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Binh Duong ushered in the heyday of the tea industry. Hongzhi "Wenzhou Mansion Chronicles": "Tea, all five counties...... The people produced by Caijiashan in Pingyang are also good. ”
In the folk of Pingyang, the story of Huang Gongwang, a great painter of the Yuan Dynasty and a native of Pingyang, is still circulating.
In August of the seventh year of Zhizheng (1347 AD), the seventy-nine-year-old Huang Gongwang returned to his hometown Pingyang from a wandering trip. One day, Shi Boxuan, a former warehouse gentleman, came to visit. Bo Xuan took out a pot of tea from his satchel and handed it to Huang Gongwang, saying: This is the tea of Nanyandang Mountain in his hometown, it was originally green tea, and when crossing the waterway, it was accidentally damp and yellow, but it has a unique flavor, the astringency becomes lighter, and the mellow aftertaste is sweet.

When Bo Xuan opened the can, the aroma was strong, and a fresh corn fragrance reached the nasal cavity; after brewing, the soup was bright and apricot yellow, and the entrance was fresh and sweet, and the aftertaste was endless. Huang Gongwang shouted repeatedly: Good tea, good tea, good tea! Bo Xuan implored Huang Gongwang to name this tea. After thinking for a while, Gongwang said: How about calling it "Pingyang Yellow Soup"? When Bo Xuan heard it, he felt that it was named after the region and the color of the soup, which was straightforward and easy to remember, and he exclaimed: "Good name!" Huang Gongwang picked up the pen and wrote "Pingyang Yellow Soup".
Later, tea farmers and tea merchants in Binh Duong adopted the method of heating and humidification to make tea, and explored the production process of "stuffy yellow" to produce Binh Duong yellow soup with a unique flavor.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Pingyang Yellow Soup was famous at home and abroad and reached its peak. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, Pingyang Yellow Soup was listed as an important tribute tea in Zhejiang. Historical data show that in the 30s of the 20th century, more than 1,000 quintals of Pingyang yellow soup were sold to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other big cities every year. Due to historical reasons, Pingyang Yellow Soup was discontinued during the Republic of China and did not reappear until the end of the 20th century.
Huang Gongwang has been fond of tea all his life, especially the tea in his hometown, and in his qigong Neidan book "Mr. Paper Boat Quanzhen Zhizhi" proposed the three methods of "tea into Dan, tea to help quiet, and tea to strengthen the body".
"Fuchun Mountain Residence" (detail)
Huang Gongwang, who was in his old age, created "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in Miaoshanwu in the north of Fuchun River in the east of Fuyang City, and "read it for three or four years but not completely". It is the Pingyang Yellow Soup in his hometown, which was inspired and inspired by Huang Gong's painting of his masterpiece "Fuchun Mountain Residence".
"Fuchun Mountain Residence" depicts the beautiful scenery and water colors on both sides of the Fuchun River in the form of a banner scroll. The peaks and slopes rise and fall with the trend, and the clear springs in the depths of the mountain streams are pouring down. Surrounded by mountains, the thatched cottages and cottages are uneven, and the fishing boat bridges are scattered, which can really be said to be people moving with the scenery and the scenery moving with the people. This painting embodies the author's superb techniques of sketching, rubbing, and dotting, and has reached the realm of perfection, and Wu Qizhen in the early Qing Dynasty praised it as "the first painting in ancient times", and is one of the top ten famous paintings in China.
"Autumn Mountain Hidden Picture"
During the creation of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", Huang Gongwang also painted a scroll of "Autumn Mountain Zhaoyin Map". On that day, he looked out of the window, burned incense and cooked tea, and was very interested, and inscribed a long poem on the painting, with a passage attached:
Knot Mao leaves the market, and the heart is fortunate to have a trust.
Open the door to the pine cypress, to the pillow are hills.
The mountains are cloudy and sunny, and the forest is bright in the morning and evening.
The scenery is good, and it is not to be omitted in autumn.
Sitting on a stone pole, the meaning is to leap.
The line is far away from the bridge of the river, and Xi Gu wears the grass.
I have been obsessed with it for a long time, and I should not make an appointment when I come in.
Don't look like a peach source fishing, and it is wrong to find the way again.
"The different path of this Fuchun Mountain is also, to construct a hall in the meantime, every spring and autumn to burn incense and make tea, and travel to rest. When the morning and sunset, the moon and the rain window, or climb the view, or lean on the railing, I don't know that my life is in the dust, and my forehead is called a small cave. The picture is to recruit Comrade Pufu Yinjun. Huang Gongwang, an old man of Yifeng, painted and inscribed. ”
