"In a remarkable and broad-ranging narrative, Yangwen Zheng's book explores the history of opium consumption in China from 1483 to the late twentieth century. The story begins in the mid-Ming dynasty, when opium was sent as a gift by vassal states and used as an aphrodisiac in court. Over time, the Chinese people from different classes and regions began to use it for recreational purposes, so beginning a complex culture of opium consumption. The book traces this transformation over a period of five hundred years, asking who introduced opium to China, how it spread across all sections of society, embraced by rich and poor alike as a culture and an institution. The book, which is accompanied by a fascinating collection of illustrations, will appeal to students and scholars of history, anthropology, sociology, political science, economics, and all those with an interest in China."

"Perdagangan adalah kegiatan penting yang stabilitasnya dipengaruhi oleh komoditas yang diperjual-belikan. Sejak masuknya teh Cina ke Inggris，dibawa oleh pedagang Belanda ke Eropa, teh Cina perlahan menjadi komoditas yang sangat penting di Inggris. Karena kondisi sosial dan ekonomi di Inggris serta kebijakan perdagangan Tiongkok, teh Cina menjadi komoditas yang sangat diminati Inggris yang juga menghadapi berbagai kesulitan untuk memenuhi permintaan teh masyarakatnya. Kerajaan Inggris pun mulai mencari cara untuk mempertahankan perdagangan teh dengan menanam opium di India dalam jumlah besar dan menjual opium tersebut ke Tiongkok. Penggunaan opium di Tiongkok kemudian perlahan memengaruhi masyarakat dan juga pemerintah kedinastian secara negatif. Dampak negatif ini memaksa Tiongkok, yang saat itu dikuasai oleh Dinasti Qing, untuk mencoba berbagai cara untuk menghentikan perdagangan opium yang pada akhirnya memicu peperangan antara Tiongkok dan Inggris. Penelitian ini menganalisis sejauh mana teh Cina memengaruhi terjadinya Perang Opium I di Tiongkok (1839-1842). Maka tujuan dari penelitian ini ialah untuk mengetahui apa yang disebut dengan teh Cina, bagaimana proses masuk dan berkembangnya teh di Inggris, serta sampai sejauh mana pengaruh teh Cina terhadap pecahnya Perang Opium I di Tiongkok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teh Cina memang memengaruhi terjadinya Perang Opium I. Penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dan mengolah data dengan teknik deskriptif analisis serta pendekatan historis.
