茶马古道:民族文化之路

茶马古道:The Minorities's Culture on The Road

被称为中国南方"丝绸之路"的茶马古道起源古代的"茶马互市",先有"互市",后有"古道"。"茶马互市"是一种传统的以茶易马或以马换茶为内容的贸易往来。云南是茶马古道的发源地,云南茶区的各族人民是最早发现、利用茶树的民族。不同民族文化间相互碰撞、交流与融合也赋予了"茶马古道"鲜明的民族文化特征。

茶马古道 ,which is called ＂The Silk Road＂ in south china, can date back to the ＂茶马互市＂. ＂茶马互市＂ can be appreciated as a kind of trade activity dominated by dealings with Tea and Horse. Yunan is the cradle of 茶马古道, and the minorities in this region first discover and make use of the tea. The melting of diverse peoples bring out the vivid cultural characteristic of all the minorities.
