Seeking Revival: Research On The Practice Of Tea Industry Improvement In Modern Fujian(1901-1949)

Modern Fujian tea improvement practice hopes to learn from and study the progressive experience of India,Ceylon,Japan and other foreign countries in the development of the tea industry,in order to gradually promote the systematic improvement of the tea industry,and then achieve the revival of Fujian tea.Specific tea improvement initiatives involve many aspects of Fujian tea production,manufacturing,transportation,marketing,management,relief,etc.According to the implementation effect of various tea improvement initiatives,they can be divided into those that focus on short term treatment of the symptoms and those that focus on long term treatment of the root cause.At the level of curative measures,it mainly includes the implementation of tea export inspection,rectification of counterfeit tea,reduction of tea tax,reduction of operating costs,implementation of Fujian tea unified system of transportation and marketing,and change of Fujian tea foreign trade production and marketing trading system,etc.At the level of curative measures,it mainly includes the development of tea education,cultivation of tea technicians,machine tea production,improvement of Fujian tea production technology,emphasis on tea cultivation management,implementation of tea tree renewal and other three aspects.The modern Fujian tea improvement practice is an important part of China’s tea improvement practice,and has close and in-depth connection and interaction with the tea improvement practices of other tea-producing provinces,which together constitute the tea improvement practice seeking the revival of Chinese tea in modern times.Therefore,the modern Chinese tea industry improvement practice in Fujian tea industry improvement,in thought is the relationship between source and flow,in practice is the relationship between the whole and the part,it can be seen in the study of modern Fujian tea industry improvement practice should focus on its general examination.In addition,compared with the tea industry improvement practices of other major tea-producing provinces in the same period,Fujian tea foreign trade industry has a unique pioneering role in the history of modern Chinese tea foreign trade development,occupies a pivotal position in the modern Fujian social economy and has a self-contained foreign trade production and marketing system,which has created three characteristics that distinguish Fujian tea industry improvement practices from other major tea-producing provinces in modern times,such as leadership,necessity and regional specificity.Modern Fujian tea industry improvement practice has generally experienced the development of the development of ideas,public opinion,initial implementation and full-scale development,triggering the participation of multiple forces and people in the tea business,academia and government at all levels,which has had a profound impact on the development of modern Fujian society and economy.Although from the viewpoint of the effectiveness of its final implementation,due to the government’s ineffective supervision of governance,the lack of a durable and stable socio-economic environment,the implementation of many internal and external adverse factors such as corruption and malfeasance,the modern Fujian tea industry improvement practice unfortunately ended in failure,failed to achieve the long-cherished dream of the revival of Fujian tea.However,in the historical background of modern China’s salvation and survival,the tea industry as an important economic industry of modern China’s national livelihood,the modern Fujian tea industry improvement practice to seek the revival of Fujian tea obviously has the practical significance of industrial salvation,which can be regarded as an important example of industrial salvation in modern China.
