Lancang Jingmai cultivated 10,000 mu of ancient tea forest is a well-preserved ancient tea forest with a large area and a long history (1000) in China. At the second China Pu 'er Tea International Symposium held in February 1997, the participants further confirmed that Gupu people, the ancestors of the Bulang people, were the main ethnic groups that planted tea trees at the earliest time, and they spoke Brown. Lancang Jingmai cultivates 10,000 mu of ancient tea forest, which is known as "Natural Tea Museum", and has high historical and scientific research value for studying the development history of tea industry in China, the agronomy of ancient tea trees, the relationship between tea and ethnic groups, the planting and management of ancient tea trees, and the ancient tea trade.
The connotation of Pu 'er tea culture is very rich. Since the ancestors and nationalities living in Sipu area of Lancang River valley discovered the use of wild tea trees in production and life practice in ancient times, and cultivated, domesticated and utilized them, tea culture began a new chapter. There are various ways of drinking tea in this area, including baked tea, clay pot tea and steamed tea of Hani nationality, cup tea and salt tea of Yi nationality, baked bamboo tube tea of Dai nationality, baked tea and cauldron tea of Lahu nationality, teppanyaki tea of Wa nationality, boiled bamboo green tea and sour tea of Bulang nationality, etc. In all ethnic groups, it has become a symbol of social civilization and progress and people's friendship to treat guests with tea, to marry with tea, to offer tea as a gift, to offer tea as a sacrifice, to offer tea as a tribute, to enter the market with tea, to sing songs with tea as an art, to trade with tea, to use tea as medicine and to use tea as a poem. Today, tea has promoted trade, agriculture, culture, wealth, friendship and international exchanges, thus further promoting the unity of all ethnic groups and international exchanges.
The ancients said that "Pu 'er tea is famous all over the world", which is true. Scholars at home and abroad have written books for Pu 'er tea, and there are also many poets and composers. Cao Xueqin, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, wrote Pu 'er tea in A Dream of Red Mansions, Tolstoy, a Russian writer, and Ruan Fu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
