A4-008, The Reading Room
With George van Driem<\/a> (University of Bern)<\/p>\n

The tale of of tea<\/span>, <\/span>Camellia sinensis<\/i>, spans thousands of years and cannot be told in an hour. This tea<\/span> talk<\/span> will therefore present a number of selected highlights from the history of tea<\/span>. How did tea<\/span> become a cultivated plant, and how did this cultigen reach China? How was tea<\/span> subsequently transformed in China? What were some of the <\/span>economic and environmental ramifications of tea<\/span> on the history of China and of the world?\u00a0<\/span>The tea<\/span> trade is responsible for paper money, the Opium Wars and the existence of Hong Kong. Tea<\/span> was a decisive factor in theActs of Navigation, the Anglo-Dutch wars and the American war of independence. The economy of tea<\/span> was crucial to the economy and the military defences of T\u00e1ngand S\u00f2ng dynasty China and moulded the evolution of Chinese art and culture. The tea<\/span> trade with the West played a role in sowing the seeds of the T<\/span>\u00e0<\/span>ip\u00edng rebellion and so ultimately of the Chinese revolution led by Dr.Sun Yat-sen and the subsequent Communist rebellion led by M\u00e1o Z<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>d\u014dng<\/span>. Amore thorough account is provided in the book <\/span>The Tale of Tea<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
