鸦片对近代云南沿边少数民族地区的影响

Effect of Opium on the Modern Ethnic Minority Areas in Yunnan Border

在近代云南,鸦片的泛滥令世人震惊。当时,其所产鸦片因"劲大"、"味醇"而有"云土甲天下"之美名,其年产量高达5000万两之巨。在沿边的少数民族地区,由于多方面的原因,毒品问题尤为突出,时到今日,禁毒情势仍较为严峻。屡禁不止的毒品问题给这个地区带来了深刻影响,毒害深远。研究近代云南沿边少数民族地区历史上的鸦片问题,可以为当今我国以及全球范围内严峻的禁毒斗争提供有益的历史借鉴。

In modem Yunnan, the spread of opium shocked the world. At that time, its production was known throughout the country because of its ＂strong and pure taste＂, and Yunnan then became known as a ＂cloud land under heaven＂. Its annual output reached up to 2.5 million kilograms. In border areas, due to various reasons, the drug problem was particularly acute. Today, the situation is still very serious. The repeated drug problems have brought a profound effect on this region. Researching the opium problem of the minority areas in Yunnan Province along the border in modem history could provide useful historical references for China and the global fight against drugs today.
