Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn

Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn (顾渚紫笋, Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn) ndi chimodzi mwa tiyi akale kwambiri ndi ofunika kwambiri m’mbiri ya China: tiyi wa mfumu woperekedwa (贡茶, gòngchá), wotumizidwa ku bwalo lachifumu mosalekeza kwa zaka 876, kuyambira 763 mpaka 1375. Ndithudi tiyi uyu ndi amene “wanzeru wa tiyi” Lu Yu (陆羽, Lù Yǔ) mu “Chajin” (茶经, Chá Jīng) adawona mwazifukwa ziwiri zapamwamba — “uti wofiirira ndiye wabwino kwambiri, mphukira ndi zabwino kwambiri” (紫者上，笋者上) — ndipo anamvomereza kuti ndi “woyamba pakati pa tiyi” (茶中第一). Dzina la tiyi limafotokoza mwabwino ndakatulo: masamba ang’ono ali ndi kamtundu kofiirira pang’ono (紫, zǐ), ndipo masamba opindika amafanana ndi mphukira za nsungwi (笋, sǔn).

1. Gulu ndi Chiyambi:

• Mtundu: Tiyi wobiriwira (wosafufumizidwa). Malinga ndi ukadaulo — theka wokazinga-theka wouma ndi kutentha (半炒半烘, bàn chǎo bàn hōng): kuphatikiza kukazinga mu poto ndi kuuma ndi kutentha, komwe kumagwirizanitsa kupindika kolimba ndi fungo lofatsa la maluwa.

• Gulu: Tiyi wa mbiri yakale woperekedwa kwa mfumu (贡茶, gòngchá) ndi nyengo yaitali kwambiri yosadodometsa ya zaka 876 (763–1375). Mu 1982, adatsimikiziridwa ngati ‘Tiyi Wodziwika Padziko Lonse’ (国家级名茶). Ndi chida chotetezedwa ndi chizindikiro cha malo.

• Chiyambi: China, chigawo cha Zhejiang (浙江, Zhèjiāng), m’chigawo cha Changxing (长兴县, Chángxīng Xiàn), phiri la Guzhushan (顾渚山, Gùzhǔ Shān). Malo opangira amatenga madera akumwera chakumadzulo ndi kumpoto chakumadzulo kwa chigawochi, kuphatikizapo madera a Guzhushan, Sangruwu (桑孺坞) ndi Xuanjiaoling (悬脚岭).

• Malo Otsimikizika: Pafupifupi 30°52′ kumpoto, 119°50′ kum’mawa.

2. Mbiri ndi Tanthauzo la Chikhalidwe:

• Mbiri: Mbiri ya Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn yolumikizidwa mosalekeza ndi dzina la Lu Yu (陆羽, 733–804) — “wanzeru wa tiyi” (茶圣, chá shèng), wolemba wa “Chajin”, lipoti loyambira la tiyi. Ndithudi Lu Yu, yemwe ankakhala ku Changxing ndipo anafufuza mapiri a tiyi m’chigawochi, mu nthawi ya Guangde (广德, 763–764) adalangiza tiyi wochokera ku phiri la Guzhu kwa khothi lachifumu — ndipo kuchokera pamenepo mbiri yosadodometsa yopereka ndalama inayamba.

  Kuchokera 763 mpaka 1375 (pamene Mfumu Zhu Yuanzhang (朱元璋), woyambitsa ufumu wa Ming, adathetsa dongosolo lopereka tiyi), Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn adatumizidwa ku khothi mosalekeza kwa zaka 876 — cholemba cha tiyi onse operekedwa ku China potengera nthawi ndi kukula. Mu nthawi ya Tang, dongosolo lopanga lidakula kwambiri: pa phiri la Guzhu panakhazikitsidwa Khothi Lapadera la Tiyi wa Mfumu (贡茶院, Gòngchá Yuàn); Kazembe wa Huzhou (湖州刺史) ankayang’anira payekha ntchito yopanga; anthu opitilira 30,000 ankagwira ntchito yosonkha ndi kukonza tiyi. Tiyi woperekedwa adagawidwa m’magulu asanu a mtunduwu, ndipo gawo loyamba — “tiyi wothamangitsidwa” (急程茶, jí chéng chá) — limayenera kufika ku likulu la Chang’an tsiku lopatulika la Qingming lisafike, kuti liperekedwe ku Nyumba Yolemekeza Makolo a Mfumu (宗庙, Zōngmiào).

  Pofika kumapeto kwa ufumu wa Ming (zaka za m’ma 1700), ukadaulo woyambirira unatayika. Kubwezeretsanso kwa tiyi kudachitika kokha kumapeto kwa zaka za m’ma 1970, pomwe akatswiri am’deralo adabwezeretsa njira yake potsatira zolemba za mbiri yakale ndi nzeru zawo. Mu 1982, Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn wobwezeretsedwa adalandira kuzindikiridwa ndi boma monga ‘tiyi wodziwika’.

• Dzina:

  “Guzhu” (顾渚) ndi dzina la phiri m’chigawo cha Changxing, pamphepete mwa nyanja ya Taihu. Dzina la malowa limachokera ku nthawi ya Han. “Zi” (紫) — “ufiirira” — amatanthauza kamtundu kofiirira kosalekeza komwe kumapezeka pa masamba ang’ono. Lu Yu mu “Chajin” adasankha mtundu wofiirira monga chizindikiro cha mtundu wapamwamba. “Sun” (笋) — “mphukira ya nsungwi” — akulongosola maonekedwe a masamba opindika, ofanana ndi mphukira za nsungwi zatsopano.

• Tanthauzo la Chikhalidwe: Gùzhǔ Zǐ Sǔn ndi umodzi mwa tiyi ofunika kwambiri m’mbiri ya chikhalidwe cha tiyi ku China. Anazunguliridwa ndi dongosolo loyamba la boma la kupereka tiyi ku China. Ku Changxing masiku ano, Nyumba Yachifumu ya Tiyi Yoperekedwa ya nthawi ya Tang (大唐贡茶院, Dà Táng Gòngchá Yuàn) yamangidwa — ndi malo osungiramo zinthu zakale ndi kupanga, kumene kukumbutsidwa ukadaulo wa timiyala ta tiyi toponderezedwa (饼茶, bǐngchá) cha m’zaka za 700–800, mwayi wapadera woonekera chikhalidwe cha tiyi cha nthawi ya Tang. Tiyi uyu akhalabe chizindikiro cha Changxing ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri la cholowa cha chikhalidwe cha chigawochi.

3. Kufotokozera kwa Zomera ndi Zipangizo:

• Mtundu / Cultivar: Mitundu ya m’deralo ya Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, yosinthidwa ku zinthu za phiri la Guzhu. Chizindikiro chapadera cha zipangizo ndi chakuti masamba ang’ono ali ndi mtundu wofiirira pang’ono (anthocyanin), womwe umagwirizana ndi chibadwa chapadera cha anthu am’deralo ndi kuyankha kwa kanyengo ka mapiri. Ufiirira umenewu ndi umene Lu Yu adauona ngati chizindikiro cha mtundu wapamwamba.

• Kututa: Kusonkha kwa masika. Kwa magulu apamwamba kwambiri, muyezo ndi “mphukira imodzi ndi tsamba limodzi lomwe langotuluka pang’ono” (一芽一叶初展). Kuti apange magalamu 500 a tiyi wouma, pamafunika pafupifupi 36,000 a mphukira — zomwe zimasonyeza ntchito yolemetsa.

• Muyezo wa kusonkha: Kusankha mosamala: mphukira zofatsa, zofanana popanda masamba okhwima ndi zowonongeka. Kukonzedwa pa tsiku lomwe liso.
