# zàngchá (藏茶)

Tiyi wakuda (*hēichá*) wochokera ku mzinda wa Ya'an m'mphepete chakumadzulo kwa chigwa cha Sichuan — uwu ndi "tiyi wa ku Tibet" (*zàngchá* 藏茶), womwe kwa zaka mazana ambiri umayenda m'njira zamakola zopita kumapiri a Tibet. Kumbuyo kwa mbiri yake kuli ndondomeko yonse: zigawo za tiyi kumapazi a mapiri a Hengduan, malo osinthanitsira katundu ku Kangding, ndi bungwe lakale la malonda a tiyi ndi akavalo — *chámǎsī* 茶马司.

## Terroir: "mzinda wamvula" ndi malekezero akumadzulo a chigwa

Chigawo chachikulu chopangira *zàngchá* ndi dera la **Yucheng** (雨城区) mzinda wa **Ya'an** (*Yǎ'ān*). Dzina lenilenilo 雨城 limatanthauza "mzinda wamvula": malo omwe ali m'mphepete chakumadzulo kwa chigwa cha Sichuan, pomwe mpweya wachinyezi umakumana ndi mapiri akum'mawa a mapiri a Hengduan, zimapereka mvula yambiri ndi mitambo yosatha. Kumeneku, m'midzi monga Daxing (大兴) ndi Caoba (草坝), mwakale munali mafakitole a tiyi ndi "manambala a tiyi" (*cháhào* 茶号), ndipo zopangira ndi mitundu itatu yakale — *kāngzhuān* [康砖](https://thetea.app/ny/article/kang-zhuan), *jīnjiān* [金尖](https://thetea.app/ny/article/jin-jian) ndi *yǎxì* 雅细 — zimapanga mtima wa gulu ili.

Kuzungulira Yucheng kuli lamba wa zigawo za tiyi wa kumalire, iliyonse ndi gawo lake m'mapiri ndi kayendetsedwe ka katundu:

- **Mingshan** (名山区) — moyandikana ndi phiri lodziwika bwino la **Mengding** (*Méngdǐngshān* 蒙顶山) ndipo limasunga malo okhawo omwe atsala a chipilala cha kayendetsedwe ka malonda a tiyi ndi akavalo — *chámǎsī* ku Xindian (新店). Malo awa amalumikiza kupanga tiyi wa kumalire ndi mbiri yomwe ya malonda.
- **Tianquan** (天全) — chigawo chakale cha tiyi wa kumalire (malo ake apakati ku Shiyang 始阳), chili kumapazi akum'mawa kwa phiri la **Erlang** (*Èrlángshān* 二郎山); awa anali makomo opita ku Kangding.
- **Yingjing** (荥经) — chigawo cha tiyi wa kumalire komanso malo ofunikira pa njira yeniyeni ya tiyi ndi akavalo m'mphepete chakum'mawa kwa mapiri a Hengduan.
- **Hanyuan** ndi **Shimian** (汉源 / 石棉) — zigawo za kumwera m'chigwa cha mtsinje wa **Dadu** (*Dàdù hé* 大渡河), zomwe zinkapereka zopangira komanso tiyi wokonzedwa wa kumalire.
- **Leshan** (乐山) — kumapazi a phiri la Emei, limapanganso zopangira za nthambi yakumwera ya tiyi wa kumalire.

Maiko onsewa amalumikizidwa ndi lingaliro la **南路边茶** (*nánlù biānchá*) — "tiyi wa kumalire wa njira yakumwera." Ndiyo nthambi yakumwera, yochokera ku Ya'an kudzera ku Kangding, imene inapereka dziko lapansi *zàngchá* yamakono.

## Mfundo ya Kangding ndi nkhani ya njira yakumadzulo

**Kangding** (*Kāngdìng* 康定), mbiri yake imadziwika kuti **Dajianlu** (打箭炉), — si malo opangira kwenikweni koma malo osinthanitsira katundu ndi likulu la msika wa tiyi ndi akavalo (*chámǎ hùshì* 茶马互市). Chili pamalo okwera m'mapiri a Hengduan, linkatumikira ngati khomo lolowera madera a Tibet: apa tiyi wochokera ku chigwa amasinthidwa ndikupitilira kumadzulo, ku mapiri a Tibetan Plateau.

Ndikoyenera kutchulanso gulu lofananira — **西路边茶** (*xīlù biānchá*), "tiyi wa kumalire wa njira yakumadzulo," wochokera ku dera la Dujiangyan ndi Beichuan pamalire a mapiri a **Min** (岷山) ndi **Longmen** (龙门山). Uwu ndi tiyi wopangidwa ndi zinthu zokhwima kwambiri, wopangidwa kukhala **方包茶** (*fāngbāochá*) ndi **茯砖** (*fúzhuān*). Njira yakumadzulo — ndi moyandikana ndi nkhani ya njira yakumwera: magulu onsewa ndi a tiyi wa kumalire wa Sichuan, koma Ya'an ndi nthambi yake yakumwera akhalabe magwero ovomerezeka a *zàngchá*.

## Zopangira ndi mtundu wa tiyi

*Zàngchá* — ndi tiyi wakuda (*hēichá*), ndipo zopangira zake ndi mphukira zokhwima pang'ono, zolimba zokhala ndi mbali ya tsinde zolimba (*cūlǎo* 粗老). Zinthu zotere, zomwe sizoyenera kwenikweni kupangira tiyi "wofewa" wobiriwira, m'mbiri zidakhala maziko a malonda a kumalire: zimapereka chakumwa chakuda, chodzaza, chotha kupirira ulendo wautali ndi madzi olimba a kumapiri.

## Kukonza: kupesa monga mtima wa tiyi wa kumalire

Mbali yaikulu yaukadaulo ya tiyi wa kumalire wakumwera ndi kupesa kwakukulu kwa zopangira ndi tizilombo tating'onoting'ono. Pambuyo poonetsetsa kuti zatsekedwa ndi kupota, masamba obiriwira amapita m'kaundula wautali wonyowa-wotentha (*wòduī* [渥堆](https://thetea.app/ny/article/wodui)), pomwe tizilombo tating'onoting'ono timasintha zopangira zolimba, kufewetsa kuwawa, kulimbitsa ndi kuda kwa chakumwa. Izi zimagwirizana *zàngchá* ndi banja lonse la *hēichá*, koma limapatsa nkhani yakeyake, yopangidwa makamaka kuti igwirizane ndi zosowa za ulendo wautali ndi tebulo la Chitibet.

Tiyi wokonzedwa amafinyidwa. Kusiyana kwa mitundu itatu yakale kuli makamaka mu kukhazikika ndi ubwino wa zopangira:

- ***kāngzhuān*** 康砖 — njerwa, m'mbiri yolumikizidwa makamaka ndi zotumiza kudzera ku Kangding;
- ***jīnjiān*** 金尖 — chinthu chopangidwa ndi zopangira zolimba kwambiri;
- ***yǎxì*** 雅细 — njira yopangira "yofewa" kwambiri (細 limatanthauza "kufewa, kung'ono"), kusonyeza dzina la Ya'an (雅) mu dzinalo.

## Kukoma ndi kusakaniza

Mbiri ya *zàngchá* — ndi chakumwa chakuda kwambiri, chofiira kapena chofiirira, chofewa ndi chakhuthala, chokhala ndi kutsekemera kwake, "kokhwima" ndi pafupifupi kusowa kotheratu kwa kuwawa kwakuthwa. Kupesa kwautali kumatengera kukoma kwa nkhuni zakupsya, zipatso zouma ndi toni zofunda zakuthaka.

Mwambo wa ku Tibet Plateau umafuna osati kusakaniza kwa mwambo, koma kuphika: tiyi amawiritsa kwa nthawi yayitali, nthawi zambiri amasakaniza ndi mkaka wa yak, mafuta ndi mchere. M'nkhani yotere, kukhuthala ndi kudzala kwa *zàngchá* — si cholakwa, koma chofunikira: tiyi ayenera kupereka mphamvu ndi kutentha mu nyengo yovuta. M'machita amakono akumatauni, amamusakanizanso mophweka — ndi kuphikira kwa nthawi yayitali kapena kufatsa kwachidule, kupeza chakumwa chofewa, chotenthetsera chopanda kuwawa.

## Mbiri ndi Chikhalidwe: *chámǎsī* ndi msewu

Njira ya Tiyi ndi Akavalo ya Sichuan-Tibet — nthambi yakumwera ya ukonde waukulu wamalonda, womwe tiyi waku China kwa zaka mazana ambiri umasinthanitsidwa ndi akavalo a ku Tibet ndi zinthu zina za kumapiri. Ya'an inali "gwero" lakum'mawa kwa nthambi iyi: kuchokera apa tiyi wofinyidwa wa kumalire amapita ndi magulu a makola kudzera ku Tianquan ndi phiri la Erlang, kudzera ku Yingjing ndi chigwa cha Dadu kupita ku Kangding, ndipo kuchokera kumeneko — kumadera a Tibet.

Mtima wa ndondomeko ya mabungwe unali kayendetsedwe ka malonda a tiyi ndi akavalo — *chámǎsī* 茶马司. Boma linkalamulira mwamphamvu kusinthanitsa tiyi ndi akavalo, ndipo ndi *chámǎsī* ku Mingshan (Xindian) — malo okhawo omwe atsala a chipilala cha bungwe loterolo mpaka lero — ndi umboni wooneka wa nthawi imeneyi. Kuyandikana ndi phiri la Mengding, limodzi mwa malo akale kwambiri opangira tiyi ku China, kumatsindika momwe chikhalidwe cha tiyi ndi malonda a kumalire zimalumikizana kwambiri m'dera lino.

## Momwe mungasiyanitsire ndi kusasokoneza

- **Njira yakumwera motsutsana ndi yakumadzulo.** *Zàngchá* yeniyeni — ndi tiyi wa kumalire wakumwera (*nánlù biānchá*) wochokera ku Ya'an. Njira yakumadzulo (*xīlù biānchá*) imapereka zinthu zina — *fāngbāochá* ndi *fúzhuān*; uwu ndi mzere wofananira, koma wosiyana wa tiyi wa kumalire wa Sichuan.
- **Mitundu itatu yovomerezeka.** Mayina *kāngzhuān*, *jīnjiān* ndi *yǎxì* amasonyeza kuwerengera kwa zopangira ndi kukhazikika kwa kufinya; *yǎxì* — ndi "wofewa" kwambiri potengera zopangira, *jīnjiān* — ndi yolimba kwambiri.
- **Mtundu, osati "zaka chifukwa cha zaka."** *Zàngchá* — *hēichá* wopesedwa kwambiri; chinsinsi cha kutsimikizika sichili m'chikondi cha "zakale," koma mu chakumwa chodziwika bwino chakuda, chofewa, chopanda kuwawa, chobadwa ndi kupesa kwa tizilombo.
- **Zizindikiro za terroir.** Kuchokera ku dera la Yucheng (midzi Daxing, Caoba) ndi lamba wa zigawo Mingshan — Tianquan — Yingjing — Hanyuan / Shimian, ndi kusinthanitsa kudzera ku Kangding, — ndi "siginecha" ya geographical ya gulu.

*Zàngchá* — ndi chochitika chosowa cha tiyi, amene mawonekedwe ake, kukoma kwake ndi ukadaulo wake zidakonzedwa ndi msewu: zopangira zolimba, kupesa kwakukulu ndi kufinya mwamphamvu zinabwera ngati yankho ku zosowa za gulu la makola ndi tebulo la kumapiri. Ndipo lerolino mu njerwa yochokera ku Ya'an palembedwa mfundo zonse za Njira ya Tiyi ndi Akavalo ya Sichuan-Tibet — kuchokera ku "mzinda wamvula" m'mphepete mwa chigwa kupita ku khomo la Kangding ndi kumapiri kopitirira.
