Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the spread of Chinese tea culture to the western regions has had a profound impact on the inherent culture of the regions along the route, and has given rise to unique tea customs and tea culture spirit. This paper systematically analyzes the paths, ways, cultural identities and social impacts of the spread of Chinese tea culture to the West during the Ming and Qing dynasties through the literature of migratory birds and Chaghatai in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The study shows that tea not only served as a trade commodity, but also reconfigured the dietary structure and social etiquette of the Western region as a cultural carrier, and contributed to the symbiosis and mutual understanding of Chinese civilizations in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
