The Development Course of Tanyang Kung Fu

Tan Yang Kung Fu has repeatedly won glory for the country: in that year, the Qing Dynasty was deeply poisoned by opium, and the wealth of China was continuously plundered to the British Isles, but the proud Tan Yang Kung Fu was able to snatch food from the jaws of the British Empire and win back countless real money and silver for China; In 1915, its reputation reached a historical peak: it won the gold medal of Panama World Expo together with Maotai, the national wine-it really pays off, and it also fascinates tea lovers all over the world!

in p>1851 (the first year of Xianfeng in Qing dynasty), Hu family in Yangcun, Fointint successfully trial-produced "Tanyang Gongfu" black tea.

in p>1875 (the first year of Guangxu), Xu ganchen, a Fujian official from Anhui province, returned to his hometown and brought the seedlings and techniques of Tanyang Kung Fu back to Qimen, creating "Qihong". Later, the techniques of Tanyang Kung Fu were spread from Qimen to Yunnan, known as "Dianhong".

In the Qing Dynasty, Tanyang Kung Fu became a special tea for the British royal family.

in October p>29, "Tanyang Gongfu" obtained the national standard approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, becoming the first local product to obtain the national standard.

in January p>21, "Tanyang Gongfu" won the well-known trademark of China.

in April p>213, Tanyang Gongfu, the representative of Fujian Xintanyang Tea Group, won the gold medal of Panama International Expo again.

in July, 215, "Tanyang Gongfu" became the "global partner" and "designated tea" of China Pavilion of Milan World Expo. A century ago, Tanyang Gongfu, a century-old brand of black tea that deterred the world, conquered the British Isles with noble quality, won the gold medal of Panama International Expo together with Guizhou Moutai, and became one of the international famous teas. But later, it flourished and declined, leaving the world with a great surprise and a difficult regret.

a century later, with the support of the government, "Tanyang Kung Fu" came back to life. With the help of the construction of Haixi and the upcoming Third Cross-Strait Tea Expo, the wave of revival has swept through with thunder.

During this period, with the ups and downs of century stories and one historical legend after another, let's make a pot of "Tanyang Kung Fu", and listen to Fu 'an tea people telling past lives about Tanyang Kung Fu in the fresh and sweet tea fragrance. Fuan is a famous tea town in China, the second largest tea producing city (county), the largest green tea and scented tea producing area and the origin of black tea. But when it comes to local tea brands, Fuan people must call it "Tanyang Kung Fu". The glorious history of "Tanyang Kung Fu" is the pride and glory in the hearts of all Fu 'an tea people, and it is also the origin of dreams.

in p>1851, "Tanyang Gongfu" was successfully trial-produced in Tanyang Village, and was distributed in western Europe through Guangzhou, which was favored by western markets. Since then, a large number of merchants have come here to seek the market, and famous tea shops have risen one after another, and their fame has spread far and wide, and they are well-known at home and abroad. In the 18th century, black tea was popular in Britain, and "Tanyang Kung Fu" conquered the British Isles with its noble quality and became the special tea for the British royal family. In 1915, at the Panama World Expo, it won the gold medal of Panama International Expo together with Kweichow Moutai, the national wine, and became a popular drink in Europe at that time, ranking among the international famous tea brands and selling well in more than 2 countries.

At its most glorious time, "Tanyang Gongfu" produced more than 2, boxes of dry tea every year, and the scope of tea purchase was several hundred kilometers in Fiona Fang. At that time, letters written from abroad didn't need to be named as provinces, prefectures and counties. As long as the book "China Tanyang" was written, it could reach the recipients accurately, and its reputation even surpassed that of "China Fujian".

However, since the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the "Kung Fu of Tanyang" has fallen into silence due to the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After the founding of New China, the government actively supported the production of tea areas, and the output of "Tanyang Gongfu" once reached the highest level in history, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. In the 197s, green tea began to be enthusiastically sought after by the public. Tanyang tea area was changed from "red" to "green", and only a small amount of Kung Fu black tea was reserved for export in Tanyang and several neighboring villages, with an annual output of only 1 tons.

this change is more than 3 years. In the new century, the domestic tea market is heating up rapidly, and there are many famous teas, but "Tanyang Kung Fu" is still silent. However, in 24, fate finally turned around.

Zhang Lao, who is over 1 years old, has always had a soft spot for black tea. In the 198s, he submitted a proposal to the state as a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, urging to retain the "three great efforts of Fujian and Hong Kong"-the efforts of opening up foreign countries, political affairs and Bai Lin. He often says, "Black tea accounts for more than 8% of the total consumption of tea in the world. As the hometown of China black tea, Fujian has not developed the black tea business, which is really embarrassing to the ancestors of the tea industry. "

At the critical moment, the Fifth Session of the Ninth CPPCC in Fu 'an was held, and an old tea man submitted a proposal entitled "Reviving Tanyang Gongfu Tea Brand and Creating the Brilliance of Fu 'an Tea" to the conference, which officially knocked on the door of revival of Tanyang Gongfu.

"The tea industry with an annual commodity value of 1.132 billion yuan does not have a well-known brand, how can we talk about competitiveness?" Chen Chengji, the old tea man and the current president of Fu 'an Tea Industry Association, spoke out the weakness of Fu 'an tea industry at that time. Indeed, due to the absence of "Tanyang Gongfu" brand, Fuan tea industry has been making wedding dresses for others for a long time. The tea produced is mainly sold to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces as raw tea, and local tea farmers and tea merchants have little profit.

this proposal immediately attracted the attention of the general assembly. Since then, the local government has organized a group of tea experts and economic experts from inside and outside the province to conduct on-the-spot research on the contents of the proposal. The results of the survey agreed that Chen Chengji's proposal of "revitalizing' Tanyang Kung Fu'" was of great significance and feasibility. The survey report was submitted to the Fuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and was immediately adopted.

In p>26, the Fuan Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government set up a leading group for tea industry development, headed by Chen Jiadong, then secretary of Fuan Municipal Party Committee, and set the "Five Ones" strategic project, that is, to build a public brand-"Tanyang Gongfu"; Each year, 1, mu of high-fragrance tea seeds are newly planted; Building a tea capital in the Straits; Hold a tea event every year; Build a modern factory processing zone.

When the official document was issued, Chen Chengji wept with joy, but what he didn't expect was that in the next three years, good news about "Tanyang Kung Fu" came one after another, and the changes were so great that people were dazzled. On October 21, 26, in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, "Tanyang Kung Fu", which had not been baptized by the market for a long time, appeared in full dress and was inspected by people.

This press conference, jointly organized by the China Celebrity Working Committee, the Chinese Celebrity Association and the Fuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, was called "A Series of Activities of Chinese Celebrities Building Harmonious Fuan on the West Side of the Taiwan Strait and Tanyang Kung Fu", which was later called "the prelude to the brand building of Tanyang Kung Fu" by tea people.

Fuan's unique geographical location and red history make China Celebrity Working Committee and Chinese Celebrity Association pay close attention to the development of this area. Jiang Zhenghua, Jiang Chunyun, Sun Fuling, Wang Yunlong, Yu Yang, Guan Mucun and more than 1 well-known Chinese celebrities were present on that day. At the meeting, Chen Jiadong, then secretary of the Fuan Municipal Party Committee, solemnly introduced the glorious history and excellent quality of "Tanyang Kung Fu" and the determination of the Fuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to recover "Tanyang Kung Fu". Immediately, "Tanyang Gongfu" was designated as the special tea for Chinese celebrities, and the brand grade jumped to the top, which started the first shot of revival.

The successful return, both government workers and exhibitors, are beaming, which is an affirmation and an encouragement. Previously, many tea people had doubts about this trip to Beijing. Because there were almost no decent "Tanyang Gongfu" production enterprises in Fuan at that time, most of the products produced were mainly sold in bulk without packaging. For the exhibition in the Great Hall of the People, many enterprises rushed to make "clothes" overnight. Due to the lack of funds, the Fuan municipal government has also earmarked 11, yuan to subsidize the packaging costs of enterprises to solve the urgent needs.

after the prologue, from government officials to bosses of production enterprises, from non-governmental organizations to units at all levels, they are trying their best to rebuild the century-old brand of "Tanyang Gongfu".

In p>27, in a short period of one year, Fuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government led "Tanyang Gongfu" into major domestic cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Fuzhou and Hong Kong for brand promotion, and also participated in tea promotion activities such as "maliandao Beijing International Culture Festival", "Shenzhen International Tea Culture Exhibition" and "Returning to Panama", which opened the door for "Tanyang Gongfu". Since then, in domestic and international exhibitions, the figure of "Tanyang Kung Fu" has appeared frequently.

Fuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are so densely set up for enterprises, and enterprises are actively appearing on stage. Since 27, the good news of "Tanyang Gongfu" has spread frequently, and it has successively won honors such as "Top Ten Famous Tea in Fujian", "National Geographical Indication Protection Product", "National Certification Trademark" and "Olympic Bid Tea". In 26, Fuan Municipal Government was determined to restore and build the historical brand Tanyang Gongfu.

Party committees and governments at all levels in our city attach great importance to the development of tea industry. The municipal government has held many meetings to study tea quality and safety, structural adjustment and brand promotion, and made great efforts to implement the "Five Ones" project of tea industry development, that is, to build a tea capital in the Straits, a tea processing park, develop 1, mu of excellent new varieties every year, hold a major tea event every year, and make a breakthrough in building a brand of "Tanyang Kung Fu".

A series of preferential policies and measures to promote the development of tea industry have been issued successively, such as Several Opinions on Supporting the Development of Tea Industry, Several Opinions on Cultivating and Strengthening Leading Industries and Accelerating Industrial Agglomeration, and Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Modern Tea Industry. Carefully compile and start the implementation of the Five-year Plan for the Development of Modern Tea Industry in Fu 'an City (212 ~ 216), with the planning focusing on the promotion of "five new" technologies and the construction of ecological tea gardens, so as to lead the city's tea industry to accelerate its development.

The CPPCC National People's Congress is also very concerned about the development of tea industry. In view of the problems existing in the development of tea industry in eastern Fujian, during the two sessions every year, delegates and members put forward many constructive suggestions and proposals to make suggestions for the development of tea industry in eastern Fujian. It is particularly worth mentioning that in 27, the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress officially passed the Decision on Promoting the Development of Tea Industry on the basis of in-depth investigation and extensive consultation, which fully reflected the concern, concern and concern of NPC deputies for the tea industry.

Gorgeous transformation

In two days, the third Cross-Strait Tea Expo will begin. And this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be a leap on the road to revitalization for "Tanyang Kung Fu".

At the first Cross-Strait Tea Expo held in 27, 13 "Tanyang Gongfu" tea enterprises in Fu 'an were dressed up and made their debut, which was well received. At the second Cross-Strait Tea Expo held in 28, "Tanyang Gongfu" signed an order of nearly 1 million yuan. The tea fair at home is a big stage to show yourself. According to the relevant person in charge of Fu 'an Municipal Government, as of a few days ago, Fu 'an is expected to sign 16 investment projects at this tea fair with a total investment of 1.42 billion yuan.

This is not empty talk. The gorgeous transformation of "Tanyang Kung Fu" has enough strength and foundation to complete all this.

Chen Chengji, as the president of Fu 'an Tea Industry Association, knows all about the changes in p>27, 28 and 29.

it's very difficult to buy a bag in a specialty store. In the downtown area of Fu 'an, there are many specialty stores, chain stores and teahouses. Not only that, in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places, you can also find the figure of "Tanyang Gongfu", with sales outlets all over the country.

this is the most intuitive change. With the popularity of "Tanyang Kung Fu", everything related to "Tanyang Kung Fu" is changing.

The original price of "Tanyang Kung Fu" products was only 5-6 yuan per kilogram, but it has risen to 1, yuan, and some of them are even tens of thousands of yuan. In the 28 "Fujian Tea Cup" competition, "Tanyang Gongfu" won the title of "Tea King", with an auction price of 3, yuan per kilogram. Its main raw material "Tanyangcai tea" is also a few cents per catty before the brand is built, and the average price of tea green per catty is about 2 to 3 yuan, and the income of tea farmers has soared.

In p>29, "Xintanyang Tea Group" was established. In just a few years, Xintanyang was awarded the iconic brand of China black tea and a provincial key leading enterprise. In 212, the brand value was 443 million yuan, ranking first among China black tea enterprises, and it was passed down as a much-told story by Fu 'an tea industry. According to statistics, there are countless people who have been involved in the tea industry for two years. By the end of last year, there were 263 registered tea processing enterprises in Fu 'an, more than 4 large-scale enterprises with an annual output value of more than 5 million yuan, and 3 of them were among the top 1 enterprises in the national tea industry in 28. The city exported more than 4, tons of tea annually.

At present, "Tanyang Kung Fu" is accumulating strength and making an impact on the world's black tea brands. Recently, applications for trademark registration have been filed in nine countries including the United States, France and the Netherlands, and have been initially approved. "Tanyang Kung Fu" will return to the world stage, and the future will be full of sunshine. Appointed by China International Chamber of Commerce, Fujian Famous Tea was sent to Panama on behalf of China Tea from November 23 to 27, 26, which was another grand event of Chinese tea culture publicity activities and provided an opportunity for "Tanyang Kung Fu" to appear in the world tea world again. Therefore, when people look back on the Panama legend of "Tanyang Kung Fu" in 1915, they naturally guess the mystery of the loss of the gold medal and are eager to solve the mystery in their hearts.

Historically, "Tanyang Gongfu" tea was mainly spread by tea farmers through the overall management of "Quecha" government issued by the imperial court. Tanyang Gongfu was founded in 1851, while Bailin Gongfu, Zhenghe Gongfu and Qihong were all founded later than Tanyang. According to Tea in Qimen in 1933, "The county has always been fond of making green tea. In 1875, Yu Ganchen, a yi county native, was dismissed from Fujian and returned to Anhui. In Dongzhi, Qimen and other places, tea houses were opened to try out black tea by imitating the method of "Min Hong". In the following year, a black tea plantation was set up in Shanli. Although it didn't produce much, it made a lot of profits, which was the beginning of Qimen black tea manufacturing. Accordingly, some people think that "Qi Hong" was probably introduced by "Tanyang Kung Fu". In April, 1915, Fu 'an Chamber of Commerce selected "Tanyang Gongfu" tea to represent Fujian tea, and went to San Francisco, USA to participate in the World's Fair and won the gold medal of Panama Pacific International Fair, which won the highest honor for Min Hong at that time. According to legend, this gold medal is 23 inches round, full of foreign languages, with buildings, flowers and plants, and two men and women without clothes. However, up to now, despite searching the archives of "Tanyang Gongfu" tea house, tea number and relevant departments, there is no trace of the gold medal. The older generation of Tanyang tea people speculated that this gold medal may remain in the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the authorities, and was brought to Taiwan Province in 1949, and now it is collected in the Taiwan Province Museum. According to Taiwan compatriots returning home, when they visited the Taiwan Province Museum in the 196s, they saw the gold medal, saying that China black tea won the gold medal at the same time as Kweichow Moutai at the Panama World Expo in 1915. Later, the relevant departments entrusted Taiwan compatriots returning home to visit again, but they didn't see it. It is unknown whether it was collected by the museum. Another speculation is that the gold medals are scattered in the producing areas of "Qihong", "Fuhong" and "Gougunao" tea.
