Features: This book starts from the previously under-researched part of Chinese tea history, namely the formative period of Chinese tea culture—the early Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and early Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of cultural history, it elucidates the development of tea-drinking customs during that time and the socio-cultural foundation upon which these customs were formed. This book is part of the "New Perspectives on Chinese Culture Series."
