- Abstract
The Chinese spice culture has a long history. After the An-Shi Rebellion, spice trade of the Western Region by the Land Silk Road was blocked, and the Maritime Silk Road started to play an important role. To Quanzhou Port in Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Maritime Spice Road can be considered as opposite direction of the Maritime Silk Road. At the end of Song and beginning of Yuan Dynasty, a large amount of spices were imported by Quanzhou and other areas in China, and Arabians had huge contribution on the trade. Among the most famous was Pushougeng who had monopolized for almost 30 years on Quanzhou foreign spice trade. Today's PuShi spice producer from Yongchun, Quanzhou is a heritage intermingling China spice culture and Arab spice production technology.
