Question 1: What does caravan mean? Caravan

Caravan is the main means of transportation in Yunnan in modern times. Before the opening of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway in 1910 and the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway in 1935, there were no major transportation lines in Yunnan. All goods are transported long and short distances by people on horseback. Even after the opening of the two main transportation lines, horses are still the main means of transportation in other areas of Yunnan except the main transportation lines. Before the Yunnan caravan entered Sipu, this area was famous for its high mountains and dense forests and hot climate. It was also a land of smog. Moreover, there were cliffs and deep ravines on the road. There were hungry tigers and beasts in the mountains. There were poisonous snakes and scorpions in the river. There were also harassment by bandits along the way. , there is a saying of "taking advantage of foreigners when you are poor". Therefore, although the situation of tea production in this area and Yunnan's drinking of tea produced in this area can be seen in the Tang Dynasty, it is recorded in documents. "Man Shu" written by Fan Chuo of the Tang Dynasty records: "Tea came out of the mountains around Yinsheng City, and there was no way to collect it. Mengshe Man cooked it with pepper, ginger, and cinnamon and drank it." The so-called Yinsheng City boundary is today's Simao, Banna area. However, due to the constraints of traffic conditions, transportation and other factors, a large amount of tea has been waiting in Gushan. The intervention of Yunnan horse caravans provided transportation means for large quantities of Pu'er tea. "" records that during the Republic of China, "In addition to being sold in this province, Dian tea was mainly sold to Sichuan, Kham, and Tibet, and was occasionally sold to Annan, Siam, Myanmar, and the coastal and river provinces of my country... Ninety-nine teas relied on mules and horses to obtain waterways and trains. not much.

Yunnan caravans are the most active factor in Yunnan’s modern Pu’er tea trade. It is precisely because there is a strong Yunnan caravan team that is not afraid of hardships and overcomes many difficulties to enter the Sipu border area, and Pu’er tea has a continuous flow. Only by transporting and selling them locally can large-scale production be possible. On the contrary, in the transportation and sales of Pu'er tea, the Yunnan caravan itself has also developed greatly. The development of Yunnan caravans has promoted the further prosperity of Pu'er tea transportation and sales trade, forming a virtuous cycle system. The horse caravans in Yunnan were one of the important reasons for the prosperity of Pu'er tea in modern times.

Driven by the tea trade operated by Yunnan caravans, the economy of the Sipu border area is developing day by day. While transporting Pu'er tea, merchants from south to north not only bring production and daily necessities, but also enrich the people's lives. More importantly, it brought advanced production technology, culture and ideas from the mainland. The Sipu border area, which was regarded as a dangerous place, has been greatly developed and its appearance has undergone profound changes. Pu'er tea and Yunnan caravans have become two important factors indispensable for the social and economic development of Sipu Border Area.

The adventurous nature experienced by the horse caravans on the Tea Horse Road is highly praised by people. Their most prominent feature is their adventurous spirit. Even today, the so-called feats of professional explorers will pale in comparison to the caravan career on the Tea Horse Road.

In order to survive and profit from trade, the caravans almost risked their own lives. This adventure manifests itself in three aspects. One is business adventure. Most of the activities of the caravans were in a period when modern commercial society was far from mature. The laws were not only incomplete, but also ineffective in many areas. Every business the caravans wanted to do carried great risks. In addition, the political situation was extremely unstable, and even more increases this risk. Although some people have made a fortune from the caravan trade, many more people have been working for a lifetime or even several lifetimes and still have nothing. The second is the adventure of facing harsh nature. The natural environment along the Tea Horse Road run by caravans is extremely dangerous and difficult. Wind, frost, rain, snow, mountains and rivers, poisonous weeds, poisonous water, wild beasts, poisonous insects, and plagues and diseases can kill the caravans anytime and anywhere. Living in the wild most of the time is a severe test for any horse driver and horse rider. I don’t know how many horsemen and horsemen just abandoned their corpses in the wilderness and died in foreign countries. Sometimes there was no one to collect the corpses. The third is the threat of bandits and robbers. Bandits and robbers were rampant in the southwest at that time. Although the caravans were heavily armed, they were still attacked by bandits and robbers from time to time. Deaths and damage to goods often occurred. These special living conditions determine and create the adventurous spirit of the caravan.

Therefore, joining a caravan is equivalent to taking a risk, and it is equivalent to looking for a job with your head in your hands.

As long as you embark on the road of the caravan, it is equivalent to issuing a military order. Whether you live or die, make money or lose everything, all depends on the luck and ability of the caravan. In the past, it was generally accepted that no matter where in the southwest, the capable caravans were brave people, people with strong will and high ability.

For the caravans who want to survive and develop, taking risks is not just about putting their lives and property on the line, but requires extraordinary courage, perseverance, bravery, outstanding wisdom, etc. Series of virtues. The caravans on the Tea Horse Road embody these things. ...gt;gt;
