Features: China is a vast country with a long history and a diverse population. Throughout history, the various ethnic groups in China have jointly created many splendid and rich cultural achievements, which are characterized by distinct ethnic and regional features. The foundation of civilization is material production. As a traditional agricultural country, China has seen the cultivation and use of tea become an important part of its material civilization. In the remote southwestern border region of Yunnan, tea cultivation, particularly the Yunnan Big Leaf variety, has been since the Shu Han period in the 3rd century AD. Through the passage of time and societal changes, Yunnan Pu-erh tea has now gained international acclaim. The big highlight of this book is: blending popular science knowledge about Yunnan Pu-erh tea with the history and culture of Yunnan, interpreting the history of the Nanzhao Kingdom through tea, and tracing the historical timeline of Pu-erh tea to South Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Asia, thereby presenting readers with an international economic exchange history of Yunnan Pu-erh tea and showcasing its unique historical, cultural, and ethnic-religious charm. Mr. Zou Jiaju is a well-known expert with years of research and introduction on Yunnan Big Leaf tea, which is also Pu-erh tea. He has led his assistants in long-term field research in Yunnan and other ethnic minority regions across China, and the content of the book is largely based on his first-hand materials obtained during these field investigations, making it deeply engaging and heartfelt to read.
