There are many rules and regulations in Wuyishan folk tea fighting. Participants should not only compare the varieties and production time of tea, but also show the water used, the origin of tea, relevant allusions and my views on tea. In fact, fighting tea in Song and Yuan Dynasties was a great test of tea knowledge. The tea made by the winner of the tea fight can be presented to the emperor as imperial tea, and the tea giver can be promoted. Some rich and powerful people have made the habit of "fighting" worse and worse in order to please the court. As Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan intoned, "Everyone is eager to buy a pet, and this year, the product is used as official tea." "Beiyuan will offer the son of heaven, and the heroes in the forest will compete for beauty first."
Song Huizong, the son of heaven, is a high-ranking figure who plays a driving role in the folk tea fighting activities. The story about Song Huizong's tea fighting in Tea Forest is spread in Wuyishan folk Li Fang. Song Huizong is a tea lover and fights for tea in the palace every day. Once, an old man with a beard entered the palace to have tea with him. Song Huizong danced with joy, and Song Huizong immediately moved out the best tea in the palace to prepare for the battle. Unexpectedly, Hui Zong lost. When asked, it turned out that the old man used the "manna grass" that the temple had treasured for 300 years. At that time, Hui Zong lost his heart and encouraged the people. No matter how high your status is, fighting tea only recognizes tea products, not identity. Tea first is the foundation of victory.
