一片云南"树叶"何以"茗"动天下？探秘中国茶文化欧洲推广之旅
5月21日国际茶日，在全球首个茶主题世界文化遗产地——中国云南普洱景迈山上，法国青年威廉与他的傣族妻子玉摆正在为客人们冲泡散发着空谷幽兰气息的景迈山茶。
On International Tea Day, May 21st, at the world's first tea-themed UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pu'er's Jingmai Mountain in Yunnan, China, French youth William and his Dai ethnic wife Yubai were brewing aromatic Jingmai Mountain tea for their guests.
与此同时，万里之外的法国巴黎，《欧洲时报》文化中心正举办"云腾四海·茗动天下"中国(云南)茶文化欧洲推广活动。法国友人品鉴着红浓明亮的云南茶汤，欣赏着茶主题文艺表演，体验"有一种叫云南的生活"。
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Paris, France, the "Tea Connects the World" Yunnan Tea Culture Promotion Event was being held at the European Times Cultural Center. French guests savored Yunnan's rich tea while enjoying cultural performances, experiencing "a lifestyle called Yunnan".
茶源云南：科学研究证实云南是世界茶树核心原产地，拥有3200多年树龄的锦绣茶王和景迈山万亩古茶园。2023年，"普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观"成功列入《世界遗产名录》。
Tea Origins in Yunnan: Scientific research confirms Yunnan as the core origin of tea trees, home to the 3,200-year-old "King of Tea Trees" and Jingmai Mountain's vast ancient tea gardens. In 2023, "Pu'er Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape" was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
中法茶缘：早在1897年，云南就开始向法国出口茶叶。20世纪70年代，"销法沱"普洱茶在法国广受欢迎，三次荣获世界食品博览会金冠奖，累计出口量超4000吨。
Sino-French Tea Connection: As early as 1897, Yunnan began exporting tea to France. In the 1970s, "Xiaofa Tuo" Pu'er tea gained popularity in France, winning three gold medals at World Food Expos with over 4,000 tons exported.
文化纽带：除茶叶外，云南与法国有着深厚的历史渊源。1889年法国在蒙自设立领事馆，1910年法国设计的滇越铁路通车，这条铁路当时被誉为"世界三大工程奇迹"之一。
Cultural Bonds: Beyond tea, Yunnan and France share profound historical connections. In 1889, France established a consulate in Mengzi, and in 1910, the French-designed Yunnan-Vietnam Railway opened, hailed as one of the "Three Engineering Marvels of the World".
如今，在中法建交60周年之际，云南茶文化再次成为连接东西方的桥梁。从茶艺表演到非遗展示，从茶科技产品到乡村振兴项目，这场以茶为媒的文化交流正在欧洲掀起新的"中国热"。
Today, marking the 60th anniversary of Sino-French diplomatic relations, Yunnan tea culture again bridges East and West. From tea ceremonies to intangible cultural heritage displays, from tea technology to rural revitalization projects, this tea-mediated cultural exchange is sparking a new "China fever" in Europe.
