The land in Ch'i-men was so limited by its hilly setting that almost seven-tenths of the 5,400 households in the county drew their livelihood from tea manufacture and bsuinesses connected with it. Government income too was obtained from the taxes on tea manufacture. Among tea merchants from other cities, the teas produced in Ch'i-men were much reputed for their excellent flavor and color, but in spite of the increasing demand, natural barriers-especially the Ch'ang-men rapids at Ch'i-men River, thirteen li southwest of the county capital-prevented the tea cargoes from being efficiently shipped in bulk. en 2001 Ginger Cheng-chi Hsü A Bushel of Pearls: Painting for Sale in Eighteenth-Century Yangchow https://archive.org/details/bushelofpearlspa0000hsug/ Stanford, CA w:Stanford University Press 0-8047-3252-3 00-057321 912452624 7929103M 21 https://archive.org/details/bushelofpearlspa0000hsug/page/21/ It was in his grandfather’s generation that the family started its business in the salt trade and moved from Ch’i-men in Anhui to Yangchow.
