I-Kānghé Chá

I-Kānghé Chá (康禾茶, Kānghé chá) itiye eliluhlaza lomlando elivela emzaneni waseKānghé (康禾镇) esifundeni saseDōngyuán (东源县), edolobheni i-Héyuán (河源市), esifundazweni saseGuangdong (广东省). Yiwo kuphela itiye laseGuangdong eliqinisekiswe ngokuhlinzekela inkantolo ngaphansi kwama-emperor amane alandelana: uKāngxī (康熙), uYōngzhèng (雍正), uQiánlóng (乾隆) noJiāqìng (嘉庆) (康熙—雍正—乾隆—嘉庆, 1661–1820). Umlando waleli tiye usukela enkathini ye-Southern Song (南宋, ikhulu le-12 nele-13), okusho ukuthi kunesiko eliqhubekayo leminyaka engaphezu kwengu-800. I-Kānghé Chá itiye labantu baseHakka (客家, kèjiā), futhi ubuchwepheshe bayo bubonisa umgomo oyinhloko wefilosofi yetiye laseHakka: «火功不足不可饮» («Uma umlilo ungenele — akufanele uphuzwe»). Isici esiyisihluthulelo — «iphunga lelayisi eligazingiwe» (炒米香, chǎomǐ xiāng), elivela ngesiteji esiyingqayizivele «sokushiswa okuphezulu phakathi nokubuna» (高火萎凋, gāohuǒ wěidiāo) — amagugu angaphatheki esiko laseGuangdong (2012). Ngo-2023 — uphawu lwendawo lwe-People’s Republic of China.

1. Ukuhlukaniswa kanye Nemvelaphi:

• Uhlobo: Itiye eliluhlaza (绿茶, lǜchá), ngokusemthethweni alibilisiwe, nokho ubuchwepheshe buhlanganisa isiteji «做青» (zuòqīng, «ukwakha uhlaza» — ukunyakazisa ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukubila okuyingxenye), okunikeza itiye izici ezejwayelekile kuma-oolong: «绿叶镶边» (lǜyè xiānɡbiān, «iqabunga eliluhlaza elinomphetho obomvu») — amabala abomvana osemaphethelweni eqabunga. Lokhu kwenza i-Kānghé Chá ibe itiye «elisemngceleni» — phakathi kweluhlaza ne-oolong.

• Isigaba: Umkhiqizo onophawu lwendawo lwe-People’s Republic of China (国家地理标志证明商标, 2023). Amagugu angaphatheki esiko laseGuangdong (广东省非物质文化遗产, 2012). «Eliyishumi elithe lee zinkwa zetiye eluhlaza eziphambili zaseGuangdong» (广东十大好绿茶, 2020). Okuwukuphela kwetiye eGuangdong elinesimo «gòngchá» sama-emperor amane.

• Imvelaphi: I-China, iSifundazwe saseGuangdong (广东省), iDolobha i-Héyuán (河源市, Héyuán Shì), isiFunda i-Dōngyuán (东源县, Dōngyuán Xiàn), umzana i-Kānghé (康禾镇, Kānghé Zhèn). I-Kānghé isendaweni yesifunda yesiqiwi semvelo (康禾省级自然保护区), enyakatho-mpumalanga yeGuangdong.

• Amamaki womhlaba: Cishe 24°00′ N, 115°15′ E.

2. Umlando kanye Nokubaluleka Kwesiko:

• Umlando:

  I-Southern Song (ikhulu le-12–13) — isiqalo. Ngokomlando «Héyuán Xiànzhì» (《河源县志》), itiye lalilinywa e-Kānghé kakade ngesikhathi se-Southern Song. Umlando ubeka: «康禾诸约，居人生计，多半赖此» — «Izakhamuzi zase-Kānghé ngaphezu kwengxenye ziphila nge[tiye]».

  I-Qīng — gòngchá yama-emperor amane (1661–1820). Ngesikhathi sika-Kāngxī (康熙, 1661–1722), umthengisi u-Yè Gēngqìng (叶庚庆) wasedolobhaneni i-Xiānkēng (仙坑村) wethula itiye lase-Kānghé kumbusi. U-Kāngxī walemukela, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi i-Kānghé Chá yaba «gòngchá» — itiye lentela elihanjiswa enkantolo ngezikhathi ezine ezilandelanayo zombuso: Kāngxī → Yōngzhèng → Qiánlóng → Jiāqìng. Lokhu kwenza i-Kānghé Chá kube yilona kuphela itiye eGuangdong elinesimo «gòngchá» eside kangaka esiqhubekayo.

  Ukuvuselelwa kwesimanje. Ngo-2012, ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza (kuhlanganise ne «高火萎凋») lwafakwa kuhlu lwamagugu angaphatheki esiko laseGuangdong. Ngo-2020 — «Eliyishumi elithe lee zinkwa zetiye eluhlaza eziphambili zaseGuangdong». Ngo-2023 — uphawu lwendawo lwe-PRC.

• Igama:

  • «Kānghé» (康禾) yigama lomzana. «Kāng» (康) — «impilo / inala», «hé» (禾) — «okusanhlamvu / irayisi». Igama lendawo lidala umfanekiso «weZwe Lesivuno Esinempilo».
  • «Chá» (茶) — itiye.

• Ukubaluleka kwesiko: I-Kānghé Chá ingelinye lamatiye ambalwa ahlanganisa isiko letiye laseHakka (客家). AmaHakka — iqembu lezenkolo laseHan elalihamba lisuka enyakatho liya eningizimu yeChina — aletha eGuangdong ifilosofi yalo yetiye, umgomo oyinhloko wayo othi: «火功不足不可饮» — «Uma umlilo [wokucubungula] ungenele — akufanele uphuzwe». Lo mgomo uchaza isimo «somlilo ophakeme» se-Kānghé Chá. Idolobhana i-Xiānkēng (仙坑村) — «umthombo we-gòngchá» — lilondoloze ubuciko bezakhiwo be-Hakka i-«wéilóng-wū» (围龙屋, «izindlu eziyizinqaba zikadrako»).
