文明互鉴视角下鸦片战争前中美茶叶贸易 及其对美国文化的影响.

The relationship between China and the United States was originally driven by the tea trade. From the maiden voyage of the "Empress of China" sailed from New York to Guangzhou in 1784 to the outbreak of the Opium War in 1840, it was the period when China and the United States initially established direct trade. During this time, Chinese tea always held a dominant position in the goods exported to the US. The development of China-US tea trade was also a process of mutual learning and exchange between the two civilizations. In the process of mutual learning and interaction between Chinese and American civilizations, Chinese tea, as a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, exerted a profound influence on American culture, and is of great practical significance to the development to date.
