中国茶树原产地中心新论

New View on the Origin Center of Tea Tree in China

中国作为世界茶树的原产地和茶叶的故乡这一论断已毋庸置疑,中国西南地区是茶树原产地的中心也已成为业界共识。然而,西南茶树原产地的中心在云南还是西南地区其他地方,迄今仍无定论。本文从深化历史的解读、扩展观察的视野、提出新材料(民族语言、独特的饮茶习俗、古茶树和茶树种质资源及茶籽化石)等几个方面论证贵州是中国西南茶树原产地的中心。本文主题探讨是建立在之前中国茶树原产地中心的诸多成论上,因此名之为“中国茶树原产地中心新论”。

There is no doubt that China is the origin and hometown of tea in the world.It has become a consensus that southwest China is the center of tea origin.However,it is still inconclusive whether Yunnan is the origin center of tea in Southwest China or other places in Southwest China.This paper argues that Guizhou is the center of tea origin in Southwest China from several aspects,such as deepening the interpretation of history,expanding the vision of observation,proposing new materials(national language,unique tea drinking custom,ancient tea trees and tea germplasm resources,tea seed fossils).The theme of this paper is based on many previous theories about the origin center of Chinese tea trees,so it is called"new view of the origin center of tea trees in China".
