晚清时期鸦片泛滥全国,地处西南边陲的贵州省因气候适宜鸦片的种植与生产,成为著名的鸦片产区之一。当时的贵州因鸦片产量大,除部分运出省销售外,省内民众消费的鸦片也呈上升态势。随着吸食鸦片的民众日益增多,贵州民族风俗也随之发生变化,在家中为客人提供鸦片吸食成为一种新的时尚。 During the late Qing dynasty, opium spread throughout the country. Guizhou Province, located in the southwestern border, became one of the famous opium-producing areas because of the climate suitable for opium cultivation and production. At that time, due to large opium production in Guizhou, with the exception of some exported to other provinces, opium consumption by the general public in the province also showed an upward trend. With the growing populace popularizing the opium, Guizhou’s ethnic customs also change accordingly, it is a new fashion to provide opium to the guest at home.
