关于近代中国茶业的出口衰退问题,一直引发着人们的深思,本文截取1886———1896年的中国红茶出口情况,从政府角度予以考察,认为在茶业走向衰退时,由于政治上官制的弊端、经济上资金困难和厘金制度的困境、思想上传统民本思想意识形态的制约,清政府无力执行商业领导和管理职责,构成中国近代茶业出口衰落的主要原因。 With regard to the export decline of tea industry in modern China, the problem of export decline has always aroused people’s consideration. This paper intercepts the export of Chinese black tea from 1886 to 1896 and examines from the perspective of the government. When the tea industry is in recession, Shortcomings, financial difficulties and the plight of the likin system, ideological restrictions on ideology of the traditional people-based ideology, the inability of the Qing government to implement commercial leadership and management responsibilities, constitute the main reason for the decline of China’s tea exports in modern times.
