Why is there so little history of bamboo tube tea?
First, because from the Yuan Dynasty onwards, parts of Yunnan came under the jurisdiction of the central government, that is, from the Cheli Xuanweisi period, Han chinese gradually settled in some parts of Yunnan, and the 15 tea mountains born in Banna during the Ming Dynasty and the "local history" that recorded the customs and customs of Yunnan had just begun.
The second is that because the script is almost not used among ethnic minorities. Before the Yuan Dynasty, various regions in Yunnan were ruled by different ethnic groups, most of the ethnic minorities in Banna and Pu'er areas lived in remote mountainous areas, and some ethnic minorities lacked written records, and could only rely on oral transmission to tell the history of tea planting and tea making, of which the "Pu people" began to plant tea, make tea, and drink tea from the Tang Dynasty, and the history of tea cultivation, tea making, and tea drinking has been recognized by many people, but the specific origin of where and where, there is no way to know, so bamboo tube tea has not been widely recognized.
