In this book, Po-Yi Hung uses tea production as a lens to
investigate the tension between nature and society under the market
economy in frontier China. By focusing on the landscape of the
'ancient tea forest' (guchalin), this book aims to understand the
interactions among tea trees, entrepreneurs, the state, and the
Bulang, an ethnic minority population. Intensive ethnographic
research conducted by the author examines local Bulang villagers'
everyday lives as entrepreneurs in the market economy at a time of
changing moralities and cultural renovations. The author explores
the dilemmas that arise in this unique region between tradition and
modernity, territorial margin and connected space, and nature and
development.
