Tribute Tea originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, 3,000 years of history so far, and Jin "Huayang State of Palestine" carries: "Zhou King Wu, actually gets the Ba division." Sichuan combat meritorious, canonized as the princes, as the country closed to the Zhou Dynasty tribute waiting for "land of tea planting corn ... ... ... ...," but only just tribute tea bud, neither the formation of the system, but did not follow the successive phase .
Tang is the development of tea in China an important historical period. Tang period, social stability, a powerful, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism race for training from external (ie self-cultivation in society as a code of conduct, Lv Yi requirements) turn the inner cultivation (referring to the moral consciousness and thought the real purpose of the pursuit) have been became their consensus. Love Ya purity and tea is the best drink their inner cultivation, so the three religions are love, Chung tea, "Tian Lu of the question, hobbies still cut."
An Lushan anti Tang, smoke filled the air, hungry husband everywhere, the people from their homes, rural desert, decline in production: insight into the national economic center of gravity moved south from the north. Following the Six Dynasties, which continues south from the breadth and depth of development of the land, "Hill and planting tea, compete with exhaustive soil", "Give food and clothing for Taxes and, learned that rely Qi of the Ming." The rapid development of tea cultivation, the family one after another workshop manual tea, tea, agricultural products commercialization as the only typical shape of the regionalization, specialization, for the tribute system, the formation of tea and laid the material foundation.
The theoretical basis for the tribute system was "under Pu-day, does the King" and "The earth of the gross food (referring to agricultural products), who is non-monarch and his subjects." At the same time in the ancient times, agriculture is the Sad State Hing decisive production sector, but the science and technology developed, productivity is low, only by investing more in labor to the production, while industrial and commercial development also requires labor, fight each other set. The feudal ruling class in order to tilt to the agricultural labor force, the development of Commercial Laws of heavy clothing, in this thought, derived tribute tea, Yao tea system and become an important pillar of Commercial Laws.
Tea from the Tang Dynasty tribute system began to form, ancient legend, which had lasted for centuries. Tang Gong tea system has two forms:
Select the court state superior quality tea fixed tribute. There Changzhou Yangxian tea, Huzhou Guzhu Zisun tea; Muzhou Jiukeng tea; Shu State Tianzhu tea; XuanZhou Ya Camellia; Raozhou Fuliang tea; Sijhou lingxi tea; Yuezhou Yongzhou with cream; Gap State Bi Jian tea; Jingzhou group ; Ya state Mengding tea; Fuzhou side shoots mountain dew more than 20 states in the famous tea. Ya-top tea known as the first Mongolian state, it is called "Fairy Tea." Changzhou Yangxian tea, tea with out Huzhou Zisun second. Jingzhou third group of .
Select tea unique natural environment and excellent quality, yield focus: the focus of convenient transportation products, set up by the court directly Tribute Tea House (the tribute roasting), professional tribute tea production.
Huzhou Changxing Guzhu Hill, and Changshan Yixing Tang Gong Shan border, east of Taihu Lake, northwest mountain, mountainous Emerald, clouds filled the air, soil deep, fertile soil, tea, excellent ecological environment, water and land transportation convenience, the class "people Guzhu flapping nostrils, cheek teeth are different, for a long time and never forget. " Hironori years and Changzhou Yangxian tea with out tribute. Dali five years (770) in this construct large-scale, organized, managed fine, well-made tribute tea hospital, it is a state-run Chinese history of tea processing factory.
Gong Yuan Tea from "Lord of the provincial governor, observed so short," the central government as an integral part of the industry, in addition to the central assignment of officials responsible for management, the local state Executive, bounden Duzao have the responsibility. This official industrial structure, the consolidation of the feudal economic structure, maintaining the feudal system is extremely beneficial.
Making tea to have a certain skill, labor-tribute tea hospital official sources neither slave nor barbarian families, but by the government-controlled part of the tea specialized households, temporary order, "and employed carpenter" means an institution for making tea. "Employed, on three feet as silk," according to information on Namibia as their reward. And a ban against officials withheld their salaries, reflecting some changes in production relations Tang, has a positive side. However, they have dependency on the government, not even personal freedom, social status was low, is subject to oppression and exploitation of persons.
Tang dynasty squandered the people at the hard-earned, Tribute Tea Court "has more than thirty houses, the bonded labor three million people," "artisans thousand people." Bright spring season each year, decorated, great excitement. Changzhou, Lake prefectural governor, led the first festival Baiguan "Biquan emission, illuminating as heavenly Venus," the Sands Springs (now surviving, has a new home repair, and then made tea and mountains. The court provides the first sacrificial tribute tea to catch up with Ching Ming ceremony, so "Yin Ling buds did not spit, messenger plate has band" workers "palpable wall of Ge on the interjection, uncover his head into the shortage of hazel," "sodium-free election day and night, trace faint sound of the morning following the" unbearable hardships sleepy, but officials then "there is wine there song" racket.
Yuan Gao, Du Mu has served as Lake prefectural governor, in person Duzao tribute tea, tea plucking have a personal interest, dare question was, "Dasan Poem" to the Han and the emperor, not only exposed the criminal acts of the feudal rulers, but also reduces the amount of tribute tea years. Du Mu "title Yixing Dasan" poem: "The mountains southeast real show and tea for the Seocho Quebec ... ... do stop Man River Zhao, Qi Cui Zhuo Wen moss ... ... whisk day joke, specifically see the towers." Tribute to Yixing tea time zone beautiful scenery, of prosperity is described as very subtlety, left us a poem written history. Zhang Regulation "Peony smiled main tin move, pass play Wuxing Zisun to" highlight the expression of the imperial tribute tea in a prominent position.
Tang Kung roasted tea into the official private tea for tea and tea farmers can not make a living, but brings a heavy disaster, fixed tribute system, like exorbitant taxes and levies, tea and clothing increased the burden of increasing poverty in their lives, both predatory, is a pair of heavy thoughts, shoulders tea farmers petty, very strongly against.
Tribute tea system is designed to meet the-court only extravagant needs, but also around the distribution channel, narrow business scope, hinder the development of commodity economy, stifling the growth of capitalist elements, maintain the foundation of the feudal system. But the tribute is dedicated to the Royal-court tea drink, willing to spend huge amounts of money, production excellence, items with each passing day, an objective to promote the progress of science and technology of tea. Tribute tea produced at the same time and transport, on the post road traffic building, regional networking, national unity is also promoted.
And Song, Gong Tang tea followed the system, but Guzhu Tribute Tea Court gradually decline, Fujian Jian (now Jianou) within the Phoenix Mountain "Long Beiyuan baking" with the Daxing, its scale is magnificent, distinguished reputation, " Since the rate of six-county Southern Tang-year-old made the people adopted, suffered from strong civil society. " "Official and Private baked 330 of six." Tea pressure to mold pieces of silver, decorated with phoenix pattern in particular, Bin-bin, such as health, exquisite exquisite. "Small groups all 20 pound cake weight, the value of gold 22." Good times according to the quality of finished tea is divided into 10 levels, court officials were enjoyed by rank. Huizong "Grand Tea occupied by the enemy," saying: "The prosperity of the DPRK, the construction of river of old Kung, Dragon Phoenix Mission cake, were the highest the world ... ... it has been in recent years, picking the sperm-production workers, the first of the winning products, cooking points, in essence, everyone made it very Sheng. " Manufacturing technology to , and drink skills to a new level. Tea consumption value and technology to appreciate the value of perfect combine, and by the sublimation of the spirit to enjoy material comforts.
Song Dynasty tea monograph, such as "Treatise on Tea," "Bei Yuan Gong Cha declared and recorded," "Do not recorded Beiyuan" "Record of Tea" and so on, and more to build Angon tea as the main content, promoting the popularization of scientific knowledge and tea enhance and promote tea culture has a glorious motherland positive.
Into the Yuan and Ming, Gong roasted weakening, only Royal in Fujian Wuyishan small home garden, the system continued its implementation of a fixed tribute. ZHU Yuan, impoverished, only slightly superior. He was good at summing up dynasties rise and fall of the lessons learned, know, "Kui consider dangerous, Treatment thought disorder" in the country strategy. He often said: "The people are pro-rich, poor people are from, people's wealth, the State Department of Yan joys and sorrows." And because he personally attended the late Yuan Dynasty peasant uprising, rolling tea vast southern war zone, on contact with tea things, deep know that tea farmers suffering and sympathy. After the emperor in Nanjing, see the tribute is the group Seiko fine cut of Long Feng tea cake, made him sigh! He believe this is a waste of energy-consuming and strength, consequent Dahir strike made, "only to shoot into mining." This move, in essence, is to cook Chinese Tang drink tea cakes baked reform of the law shall direct brew loose tea, "an occupied by the enemy and sip" method, then open the Millennium tea drink our cases, our objective to make tea Law , drink law to a new historical period of great historical significance and practical significance.
China's feudal society, self-sufficient economy dominated, but this does not mean that no commodity production and commodity exchange, especially the Tang and Song dynasties, the development of commodity economy with large, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there has been further growth just can not afford the entire economic structure of the decisive role in it.
Development of commodity economy, is the premise of capitalism. China's feudal society, because of the development of commodity economy has nurtured the seeds of capitalism, from the mid-Ming Dynasty have been sparse factors emerged buds of capitalism to the mid-Qing Dynasty with the further development of this bud.
Qing Dynasty, China's tea industry entered its peak, the country formed a tea known regional and regional markets, business capital and gradually transformed into industrial capital, such as tea factory in Fujian Jianou no less than 1000, dozens of small ones, the big 100 people, by the tea industry on the public, and as Jiangxi "Yanshan County" contains: "River Town, two workers on tea Qianlong period, 30,000 of the people, there are 48 rows of tea." China's exports of agricultural products as bulk tea. Qing Dynasty, although the ancient tea-producing state to a fixed tribute system, but since the middle of the economic development of social goods, factors of economic structure and further growth of capitalism, the system is followed tribute tea gradually die out.
Tribute Tea system is a symbol of the feudal ethical code, is a feudal society, a product developed commodity economy. |
