Central Experimental Tea Farm
In 1939, the Central Experimental Tea Farm of the Republic of China settled in Meitan, which added another stroke to the record of tea in Guizhou.
In that year, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered a white-hot stage, and the ecological conditions in mountainous areas were seriously damaged, causing soil erosion and greatly reducing tea production. At the same time, the export of traditional export products such as tea and silk in the southeast coast was blocked. Experimental tea farm? It came into being in Meitan.

the history of the formation and development of tea culture
the enlightenment of tea culture before the Three Kingdoms
Many books set the discovery time of tea as 2737-2697 BC, and its history can be extended to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo's Classic of Food: "Bitter tea is good for a long time." Recorded the medical value of tea. The Western Han Dynasty named the county where tea was produced as "Chaling", that is, Chaling in Hunan. By the time of the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty, Guangya had recorded the making method and drinking of cake tea at the earliest: leaves were picked between Jing and Ba to make cakes, leaves were made into cakes by old people, and rice paste was used to make them. Tea appears in the form of substance and penetrates into other humanities to form tea culture.
The germination of tea culture in Jin Dynasty and Southern and Northern Dynasties
With the rise of literati drinking tea, poems and songs about tea are coming out day by day, and tea has left the cultural circle as a general form, playing a certain spiritual and social role.
the formation of tea culture in Tang and Song Dynasties
In 78, Lu Yu wrote Tea Classic, which was the symbol of the formation of tea culture in Tang Dynasty. It summarizes the dual contents of tea's nature and humanities, discusses the art of tea drinking, integrates Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism into tea drinking, and initiates the spirit of China Tea Ceremony. Later, a large number of tea books and poems appeared, including Tea Narration, Cooking Tea, Picking Tea, Sixteen Soups and so on. The formation of tea culture in the Tang Dynasty was related to the rise of Zen Buddhism. Because tea has the functions of refreshing mind, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, temples advocated drinking tea, planted tea trees around the temples, made tea ceremonies, set up tea halls and selected tea heads, and held tea events exclusively. China tea ceremony formed in the Tang Dynasty is divided into court tea ceremony, temple tea ceremony and literati tea ceremony.
The prosperity of tea culture in the Song Dynasty The tea industry in the Song Dynasty has made great progress, which has promoted the development of tea culture. Among the literati, there appeared a professional tea tasting society consisting of officials, a "soup club" and a Buddhist "dry club". Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu, is a tea lover. He set up a tea office in the court, and the tea used in the court has been graded. Tea ceremony has become a ritual system, and giving tea has become an important means for the emperor to win over ministers and care for his relatives as soon as possible, and also to paint foreign envoys. As for the lower class, tea culture is more lively. Some people move to other places, and neighbors should "offer tea" and have guests, and they should respect "Yuanbao tea". When they are engaged, they should "order tea" when they get married, and "combine tea" when they share the same room. The rise of folk tea fighting has brought about a series of changes in the cooking point.
