摘　　要：中国茶叶于17世纪早期首次由荷兰人引入欧洲,从18世纪初期开始主宰荷兰对华贸易,直至19世纪40年代。在荷兰,最初仅可从药铺获得茶叶,作为治疗当地多种疾病的优良药草,其药性受到绝大多数专业人士的赞扬,但同时也引来部分人的反对。由于有识之士的大力推荐,饮茶有益论逐步被荷兰大众认同,售价不断下降的茶叶逐渐成为荷兰人的日常饮料,由专营或兼营店铺出售,而从一开始就被视为高尚消遣的饮茶习俗也自上而下地在荷兰各阶层中得到广泛普及。饮茶习俗普及所产生的积极影响之一,就是丰富了近代荷兰人的社会生活。Chinese tea was first introduced into Europe in the early 17 th century by the Dutch.From the early 18 th century until the 1840s,they dominated trade with China.In the Netherlands,tea at first could only be obtained from a medicine shop.As an excellent medicinal herb for the treatment of various local diseases,it won favor with the great majority of specialists,but also met with some opposition.Since tea-drinking was so strongly recommended by discerning people,the Dutch gradually accepted the idea that'tea is good for the health.'As its price fell,tea was drunk daily,and was sold in specialist shops or alongside other goods.Tea drinking,previously regarded as a high-end leisure occupation,became widespread in all walks of life.One positive effect of the custom of tea drinking was that it enriched Dutch social life in this period.
