From the long-stemmed pipe to snuff, the water pipe, hand-rolled cigarettes, and finally, manufactured cigarettes, the history of tobacco in China is the fascinating story of a commodity that became a hallmark of modern mass consumerism. Carol Benedict follows the spread of Chinese tobacco use from the sixteenth century, when it was introduced to China from the New World, through the development of commercialized tobacco cultivation, and to the present day. Along the way, she analyzes the factors that have shaped China’s highly gendered tobacco cultures, and shows how they have evolved within a broad, comparative world-historical framework. Drawing from a wealth of historical sources—gazetteers, literati jottings (biji), Chinese materia medica, Qing poetry, modern short stories, late Qing and early Republican newspapers, travel memoirs, social surveys, advertisements, and more—Golden-Silk Smoke not only uncovers the long and dynamic history of tobacco in China but also sheds new light on global histories of fashion and consumption.

原來不完全是醫學史。藉由研究煙草，一方面討論近代早期中國如何進入全球化的世界裡，另一方面討論消費文化在過去五百年的延續性。寫的相當好。像這樣找一個明確的主題，然後把其中複雜的方方面面都融成一本書，3或許是個好的取徑。

read the first half; the chapter on Qing tobacco production and long-distance trade is the most useful to me.

很好的阐述了continuity的问题，但是问的问题not interesting，好多重复，a little dehistoricized and much depoliticized
