In 879 AD, Zheng Mai killed Nanzhao King Jian "Dachanghe". In the fourth year of Guanghua (901), Zheng Maishi took the throne, became king, and changed the national name to Dachanghe. In 927, Yang Ganzhen built Dayi Ning. In 937 AD, Duan Siping contacted 37 departments to destroy Dayi and Ningguo and established the regime of "Dali Kingdom". Dali regime basically inherited the boundaries since Nanzhao, the administrative division has eight governments, four counties, 37 departments, the implementation of feudal serfdom dictatorship. The rule of the Dali regime in Yunnan was basically consistent with that of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains. The king of Dali paid tribute to the Song Dynasty, and his leader was successively named "King of the eight Kingdoms of Yunnan" and "King of Dali" in the Song Dynasty, and became the assistant of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the western front of Mongolian aristocrats. The regime of Dali always maintained its vassal relationship with the Song Dynasty. In 1253 AD, Kublai Khan led his army to cross the golden sand into Yunnan and destroyed Dali. In 1260, he set up the "head of Dali". In 1274, Kublai Khan sent Saidian Chi to support Siding, and in 1276, Yunnan Province was established. Saidianchi was appointed as the "Pingzhang political Affairs of Yunnan Province" (equivalent to today's provincial governor), and the provincial capital Zhongqing Road (Kunming). Since then, Kunming has replaced Dali as the political center of Yunnan, which has completely brought Yunnan into the scope of unified governance of the Yuan Dynasty and opened up a new situation in Yunnan history. Since then, a member of "Yunnan" has officially appeared in history as an institution at the provincial level. Since then, the Yuan Dynasty also first pasted Muer as the king of Yunnan, and in 1290, Ganmala, the imperial grandson of Yunnan, became the king of the province. The king of Yunnan was in the town of Dali, and the king of Liang ruled the whole province. In fact, there were two sets of political power in Yunnan, and Dali Duan took the opportunity to separatize western Yunnan, and the province was virtually empty.

So when Nestl é succeeded in promoting high-yield new varieties in Pu'er in the 1990s, brown farmers in Baoshan area also cut down old varieties and changed them to new ones. With a round of coffee expansion, new varieties are increasing and old varieties are decreasing day by day. Finally, today's situation: the old varieties have almost been cut down, and the little ones that survived are all "old, weak, sick and disabled". Most of the trees are more than 20 years old. For a long time, the output and quality are not as good as going back and forth to the village of Zhang Bao's younger brother on another high mountain. Several hills nearby are coffee gardens in their village, but at present there are only two mu of old varieties in the village. Fortunately, this family still looks healthy because it is well managed, and it is still in the harvest period. I saw the ripe red fruit of coffee. After discussing with the owner, we decided to buy back 10 kilograms of raw beans and taste them. The fruits just picked at the end of last year are still preserved in the warehouse in the form of shell beans. The next morning we shelled and processed together. After shelling, there were 18.5 kilograms of raw beans of different sizes. There were many broken beans, adzuki beans and bad beans. After drying, there were still many defective beans, so we chose them by hand on the spot. After the final selection, there are still 9 kilograms of qualified ones left-- and by this time most of the morning has passed. Of course, if it is used to make instant coffee or general commercial beans, high-yield catimor is a good choice, but if you want to look for Yunnan specialty coffee, then the old variety of iron pickup has become the first choice because of its congenital excellent genes. Therefore, this trip to Yunnan also followed the trail of the old varieties. But the reality is really cruel. Before going, Brother Zou told me that there was an old variety in his relative's house, but what he saw excitedly was a crazy growing coffee forest, which belonged to his aunt because his aunt was not old enough to plant and renovate-- so these old varieties survived, but the aunt was unable to manage it alone, so he left the tree to grow naturally and pick some fruit when it matured to trace its roots. Typica, which originated from Ethiopia, is the earliest original species of coffee. Bourbon is a variety of typica. Both of them have rich aroma and excellent taste performance, and they also belong to very high quality varieties in Arabica. It is said that the coffee tree species that was first introduced into Zhukula in Yunnan is typica. When coffee was planted on a large scale in Baoshan area in the 1950s, it was also typica and bourbon. But the problem is that although these two varieties have excellent taste, they are not resistant to diseases and insect pests, are prone to leaf rust, and the yield per mu is relatively low, so corresponding to this, there are "new varieties".
