Xin Bing’s Huang Bingkun’s “Yi Lingnan†poem contains the silver needle “Scent is far more than the eyebrows of life†and “Seriously well-knownâ€. In the 10th year of Yongzheng (1732), Heshan County was built and Heshan Tea Garden continued to develop. Daoguang reached its peak in the early years. According to the Daoguang version of "Heshan County", Gulao Chashan, Dayan Mountain and other places "are expected to be tea trees" and there is a scene of tea smoke. In that year, there were more than 1,000 acres of tea gardens in Chashan and Lishui. Gulao Tea has been sold to Europe, America and Australia through Guangzhou Shamian Ocean. It is famous for five continents. At that time, overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots returned home to visit their relatives. When they left, they always liked to go back with a silver needle and give it to relatives and friends to share the flavor of their hometown specialty. With the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Heshan tea industry began to decline and many tea gardens were ridiculous. In 1937, there were only 448 mu of tea gardens in Gulao Mountain and Lishui, with a yield of 301 bucks. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the improvement of the people’s living standards and the shortage of tea, Gulao Tea began to recover. At that time, fake teas made from longan leaves, ghost lanterns, etc. appeared throughout the country, seriously affecting the reputation of Heshan Tea and causing a large amount of tea to accumulate unmarketable goods. To combat the enthusiasm of tea growers, many tea growers in Chashan village had to change to planting frangipani with good economic benefits. For this reason, only about 100 mu of tea leaves have been planted in the past. In the past, the sight of “every tea plantation†has ceased to exist.
