Zheng Sixiao was asked why he painted orchids instead of mud. He replied: "This land has been occupied by the Yuan Army. Where will there be mud? " . At that time, a magistrate in Suzhou personally went to Zheng Sixiao to paint, but was refused. He became angry from embarrassment and wanted to punish him for several times the rent that the temple managed for him. Zheng Sixiao said to the officers: "The head can be broken, but the blue can't be painted!"
Later, Zheng Sixiao returned to his hometown of Fujian, and soon went abroad from Quanzhou. He sailed to Indonesia and landed on the northwest coast of Java. This is the port of Batavia. After Zheng Sixiao arrived in Indonesia, he was alone and had nowhere to stand. He wants to find a place to turn it into a garden, but all the land there belongs to the local chief. How can I get a piece of cultivated land? Upon inquiry, Zheng learned that Sheikh likes to drink China's tea, so he used eight porcelain pots filled with tea as a gift. Tujue was overjoyed at the sight of tea. Now he makes a fire to make a drink, which tastes excellent and is highly praised. In addition, when he heard that Zheng Sixiao was a famous man, he was treated more warmly. During the conversation, Zheng Sixiao told the local chief that when he first arrived in Indonesia, he had no place to live, and the chief moved to delimit a mile of land in the territory as a gift. Since then, Zheng Sixiao has turned this land into a garden, intensively cultivated it, and gradually became a settlement for overseas Chinese, and named it "Eight Tea Pots" as a souvenir. Because Fujian's "tea" sounds like "tea", foreigners translate it into "PETEAIBOAN", which has been used for more than 600 years. Today, "Eight Pots" has become a famous Chinese market in Southeast Asia, where overseas Chinese once founded "Eight Pots School". Overseas Chinese businessmen here like to drink ancestral tea. I also like to recite Zheng Sixiao's Memories of Time Past: "I have been pregnant for a long time, but I have suffered. This place is Huma for the time being, but it will always be Song Min. Reading is the end of the matter. Who is the country? Shame to see Gori, the barren city is beautiful in spring! "
