The first monograph on tea in the world, Tea Classic, was written by Lu Yu when he lived in Tiaoxi area in the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, twenty miles northwest of Wucheng County, there is a tea produced by Wenshan (now the abandoned mountain south Yunfeng at the junction of Baique Township and Abandoned South Township) for tribute, named "Wenshan Yusu", which has a history of more than 1,500 years. Purple bamboo shoot tea in Guzhu Mountain of Changxing was listed as tribute tea, which began in Guangde period of Tang Dynasty (763-764) and occupied an extremely important position in the history of tea in China. Purple bamboo shoot tea has clean leaves, green color, flowery leaves, fragrant smell, sweet and mellow taste, refreshing and eye-catching, and its teeth and cheeks remain fragrant. In the fifth year of Dali (770), Huzhou secretariat set up a "Gongcha Courtyard" in the middle of Guzhu Mountain, next to Jinsha Spring, which was specially designed for royal tribute tea.

The amount of tribute purple bamboo shoot tea is nearly 20 thousand Jin.

The green moths should compete for the wonderful dance, and the purple bamboo shoots should taste different things. When I sigh at the flowers, under the north window, Pu yellow wine is sick and sleepy. " It can be seen that the situation is prosperous.
