The origin of allusions and names

allusion

It is said that Lu Tong, a native of Nanxun, was the first to open a teahouse here. One day, Lu Tong heard a tea man from Taihu Lake say, "there are tea trees on the Dongting mountain of Taihu Lake. Their leaves are very fragrant. People can refresh themselves after eating them, remove blood stasis, and let people pick the wild ones." After deliberation, the husband and wife thought that they could have a try. On the one hand, they could reduce the cost, and on the other hand, they could enjoy the happiness of the mouth.

So Lu Tong chose an auspicious day and took his cloth bag to Taihu Lake. When you go to Dongting mountain, you can see trees but not people. Although Lu Tong has been dealing with tea for half his life, what he drinks is dry tea. What he sees today is a mountain full of trees. He is so stupid that he doesn't know which one is the tea tree. Walking, I suddenly found an old man with white hair and silver beard lying on the side of the road, with a bamboo basket with leaves beside him. Lu Tong leaned down to test with his hand and found that his heart was still beating. He quickly picked up the old man with one hand, and among those who were holding him with the other hand, he repeatedly called "old man, wake up..." After a while, the old man opened his eyes slightly and made a "scratch" gesture with his fingers to the basket. He said vaguely, "eat..." Lu Tong grasped the old man's sign, grabbed a handful of leaves from the bamboo basket and put them into the old man's mouth piece by piece. The old man began to chew the leaves with a smile. Strange to say, slowly the old man's blue and dry lips moistened and his pale face ruddy. In less than half an hour, the old man was fully awake.

It turns out that the old man is Lu Yu, the "tea sage". He has been to many famous mountains and identified many kinds of tea, including Qingxin tea, Shuxin tea and Jiedu tea. Today, I accidentally tasted a kind of poisonous leaf and fainted on the mountain. Fortunately, I met Lu Tong and gave him some Qingxin Jiedu tea to wake up. When Lu Yu knew that Lu was a teahouse owner and that he was also going to the mountain to pick tea, he was overjoyed, and they became friends. Lu Yu taught Lu Tong a lot about tea and tea ceremony. He also helped Lu Tong to pick a lot of fresh and comfortable tea. In the end, they cherished each other and met again.

Lu Tong went back to the shop and told his wife and tea guests about the adventure. Everyone was surprised. Lu Tong used the tea from Dongting mountain to make it in the same way. The tea he made is really extraordinary. Those who are drunk and sleepy are refreshed, those who are bored are relaxed, and those who are weak are energetic The news spread like wildfire, and the tea house, which was originally in low business, was booming.

The origin of the name

One day, a hale and hearty old man with white hair and silver beard came to Wuzhen. He inquired about a man named Lu Tong. So someone took him to Lutong's teahouse. Lu Tong was very happy when he met the old man. When he introduced the old man to a full house of tea guests, the whole room cheered. Everyone thanks the old man for bringing good luck to Wuzhen. When the old man was in Wuzhen, he taught Lu Tong a lot about tea ceremony. The old man also sits on the tea table from time to time, chatting with the tea guests all over the world. At that time, Lu Yu had a little reputation for studying tea ceremony, and attracted the attention of Wuzhen squires. He was very tired of it. After many days, he finally left. One day, many tea guests began to talk about the old man again. Suddenly, one of the tea guests patted his thigh and said aloud, "it's not easy for the old man to visit Lutong. How about this teahouse just call it to visit luge." They clapped their hands. So the name of "visit luge" was opened.
