中俄万里茶道与汉口

Abstract

The Great Tea Route is one of the phenomena of world history. This is the system of trade and transport routes in North, East, Central and South China. Historic tea plantations and mountain systems, trade routes and road routes, tea factories for the production of green and brick tea, Chinese ancestral temples and Orthodox churches, religious shrines, rivers, lakes and canals, forests, steppes and deserts, crossings, trading outposts and customs houses, architectural ensembles of tea markets have been preserved and continue to demonstrate their cultural heritage. Since 1874, Russian merchants began to use steam engines and water presses to make tea bricks, and Russian factories became the first modern enterprises in Wuhan and laid the foundation for the industrial development of the city. With the help of modern equipment, Russian merchants increased the efficiency of Chinese production, thereby becoming the founders of modern world-class tea factories in China.
