摘要
在中国历史上,从没有一种消费品像茶叶这样影响中国边疆历史。在中华民族共同体形成的历史进程中,边茶贸易作为中原王朝用汉地茶叶换取北方草原和青藏高原游牧民族马匹或其他商品的一种商业活动,贯穿了宋以来中国历史的每个阶段。在延续千年的边茶贸易过程里,围绕边茶的生产、加工、运输和销售,各民族自觉或被动地参与其中,在各个链条和环节上分工合作、利益共享,形成了中国乃至世界历史上最大规模的商贸活动。可以说,边茶发展史,就是一部中华各民族经济和文化交往、交流的历史,也是一部政治上各民族融入中华民族大家庭的历史。
In Chinese history,there has never been a commodity that has affected China ’ s border history so profoundly as tea. During the historical process of the making of the community for the Chinese nation,Border Tea Trade,a commercial activity whereby the Central Plains dynasty of China trades tea with nomadic ethnic groups in northern grassland and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for horses and other commodities,can date back to the Song Dynasty and runs through every stage of Chinese history. In the thousand-yearlong history of Border Tea Trade,all ethnic groups are involved,proactively or passively,in the production,processing,shipment and sales of Border Tea;they work and cooperate throughout the whole production chain and share the interests and profits together,which makes Border Tea Trade the largest commercial activity in the history of China and even of the world. It is fair to say that the history of Border Tea is the history of economic and cultural exchange and communication between different ethnic groups in China,as well as the history of all ethnic groups integrating into the great family of the Chinese nation.
