Lead: min smoke cigarettes diet is almost unique to China, it even sold some Communists. China has a unique culture of cigarettes. What a person smoke cigarettes, may be related to his region, occupation, income and a sense of belonging are closely related.
Chinese people are accustomed to cigarettes etiquette. When cotton between strangers, minutes courtesy smoke is as important as a lubricant. Acquaintances together, when smoking is not easily given to a companion, then the number of ill and polite too.
However, both Europe and the United States or the same culture of Hong Kong and Taiwan, are not accustomed to each other cigarettes. Overseas can see the smoke points of the occasion is the battlefield. Smoking is thought to ease people's anxiety during the war, insufficient supply of cigarettes, several people share a cigarette, reflecting the feeling of esprit de corps. This detail is often deliberately literary and film works as described, but not nearly so popular Chinese people and casual.
Old movies Republican era, puff scene very much, but at least for the emergence of a new breed of modern male female cigarette lighter, while another rare move a smoke. Today, Chinese people's practices actually began when a smoke?
Perhaps the Japanese invasion of China noted that China was the first among those who have special sub smoke habits. Japan's Defense Agency compiled the history of war room "NORTH security war", there is a section called "People bandit isolated essentials," talking about how to identify communists and ordinary people, the experience of which the third is called "simple and based on trial conversation to identify "text description which follows:
Opportunity "With interrogation, conversation, give cigarettes and other items, test their items 'total concept'. Since the Communist Party a strong sense, as for cigarettes, often given to others, and at dinner there are people without Sprint features. On the other hand, since the concept of private indifferent, and some face the interrogators often bluntly ask for cigarettes. "
Today, Chinese people like to smoke out of habit, perhaps from the year inside the CCP's habit - not only in 1949 after a large number of demobilized soldiers to become local leaders, this habit can be directly passed in place, but Chinese society has since gone from a cultural organizations to continue the process of the barracks.
Points smoke habit from "total concept", perhaps Russia and North Korea can be used as evidence. Russian sub cigarette habit better than Chinese general, and there are significant differences. They let the smoke, the whole pack of cigarettes is on the other side to extract themselves. Korea extraordinarily high percentage of smokers, perhaps because the proportion of ultra-high military reasons. Though small in size, but also in more than 80 cigarette brands, but most of them Korean cigarette must have a good lung. Leader Kim Jong-un lead smoke, he explained the move was "we want to know ahead of what soldiers are pumping smoke."
Cigarette grade status symbol, is another unique Chinese culture cigarettes. Chinese cigarettes as much variety of styles, unique in the world, also has the world's most unequal price gap. Chinese tobacco market, the official website can be found in the most expensive cigarettes, the ABBA brand Fuchun, each 5,000 yuan. The famous cigarette brands price difference is usually small, and some countries even on cigarette vending machines is a price.
Cigarettes are a symbol of cultural identity, from the power level and the level of cigarette matching system. In 1951, Shanghai Tobacco industry began to assume special for cigarette production tasks. High-grade tobacco symbolic "Chinese cigarettes" was born in 1951 to 1966, a filter type of Chinese cigarettes per year output of only 110 As for the "perfect interpretation consistent quality and breadth of vision of the world leaders magnanimity, every tiny detail, reveals the great technology, every mm, exudes to attain perfect atmosphere "and" Panda "cigarettes, a year produced only a few hundred boxes.
After the reforms, the power hierarchy began to loosen, but domestic production can not meet the high-grade tobacco craving markets - Chinese tobacco production in 1988 to reach 10,000 cases per year. Imported cigarettes promptly fill the void in the middle ground. When imports of cigarettes came with the price enough to show high-grade, but over the years almost did not how prices, already behind the times. Today, in addition to a 555 price reached 550 yuan / article, the vast majority of imported cigarettes in 50-200 yuan / bar range.
At the same time, the quality of domestic cigarettes but conform to the rising appetite for Chinese smokers, according to incomplete statistics, today the domestic price of cigarettes in the 300-500 yuan / range, 138 500-900 yuan / range of 147 900 yuan / bar, with 115 species. In terms of price, imported cigarettes have been reduced to almost Cock wire smoke point.
Chinese official retail price of cigarettes will be divided into five categories, the retail price of 180 yuan / person to a class of tobacco sales more than 18% of total sales.
However, China's rise is too fast, and industry researchers believe that the retail price of 180-300 yuan / price area has been popular, getting a sense of quality represented not as good as before. "It is considered the world's highest quality tobacco in Zimbabwe, today nearly half of tobacco exports to China.
Chinese cultural characteristics of cigarettes, creating a distinct brand of cigarettes and foreign culture and visual culture. Most foreign cigarettes simple and plain design, trademark brand almost without any additional information, images and more abstract symbols, more emphasis on certain qualities, such as Marlboro had to create a macho brand.
Chinese cigarette packaging design is much more complicated gorgeous, first, because cigarettes have long assumed ideological function in China. Before 1949, China has been the main national brand of cigarettes, typically as king lion cigarettes, direct advertising printed on the packaging of patriotism: "The lion is the king of beasts and Yiming amazing enough, the company prepared the lion king cigarettes the patriotic compatriots to promote the theme, patriotic gentlemen willing to suck the present day cigarettes, you can always move the concept of patriotism. "after 1949, the main colors of red Chinese cigarette packaging, gear, wheat, plant, torch, tractor It is the most basic element of the combination.
Today, China has basically completed the cigarette to the ideology, not only on cigarette packaging printing banknotes and securities after using cutting-edge technology, in the name also reflects the distinctive character: the price of 300 yuan / Article category than domestic cigarettes, from the name of over 60% above the price of 900 yuan / bar, almost all the names of extraordinary ambition. They are named can be divided into four categories: main theme of red lines, power lines, and most unusual national wind system, the tall department.
Mainly around the theme of red lines "for whom", "prosperity", "good day", "harmonious country", "Jinggangshan", "golden years" like the concept of spin. Power lines especially popular "Dragon World", "De Jong world," "Legend of the Son of Heaven," "Extreme," "country," "September" and the like easy to have a good word Tang possessed. The most unusual national wind system will be like, "Blossoming", "very happy", "Feast", "good luck" kind of happy word, and "Pierre" luxuries "," Goods Road "," Confucianism wind "," Spring "on such a big name department will make successful people feel vaguely ribs Xian Qi.
In general, the higher the price range, the main theme of the probability of red lines appear higher. High-grade tobacco naming very clearly indicate who is its real consumers.
Today, most high-end Chinese tobacco had not symbolic, but it is still the object of imitation. Because flexible than the hard shell Chinese Chinese expensive, some smoke coming upscale apply the same pricing strategy. Chinese tobacco red blood, was still Fuli on various legends. For example, China has a soft package digit number, beginning with 1, 2, respectively, many people believe that the quality is higher than 3 Heading 2 Heading for the special type, and even some tobacco shops also took the opportunity to raise prices.
Just set a record price, it does not mean that there will be a status equal. In the printed "Serve the People" red line in front of white shell special for the smoke, colorful high-grade tobacco will probably be eclipsed, if the "Central special for special directorate" stage, whether it is the tall lines, power lines, or red Themes system, all will be beaten back, "blow" prototype.
However, the symbolic worth of cigarettes, a small group of Chinese people do not recognize - China has nearly 3 percent of people smoke cigarettes mixed, and in the world, the ratio is 70% - China and the Pacific island countries are some of the few fascination area of tobacco. Chinese Mixed smoke generally cost between 5-20 dollars, completely unable to enter the high-grade tobacco sequence.
In addition to Zhongnanhai and a few other domestic brands, the majority of mixed smoke cigarette brands are imported. Chinese consumers mix tobacco is highly concentrated in Beijing and the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta region, where 30% of the proportion of Beijing ranked first in the country. Most of them on the grade cigarettes, not price sensitive.
A tobacco industry market analysis report, "the retail price of 5 yuan to 10 yuan / package blended cigarettes, target consumer groups are those cultural or entertainment retail price of more than $ 10 blended cigarettes, the target consumer groups of high-income groups and foreigners in Beijing. " The crowd cigarette consumption habits not only quite different from the mainland, and even loose tobacco, cigarettes diet is also very weak.
Compared with the Mainland underdeveloped areas, coastal high-income people not to smoke significantly upscale consumer enthusiasm. When those people into the development of coastal areas in the holidays in their hometowns, cigarettes cultural gap will be reflected in embarrassment: compared to their old acquaintance at home, they will come up cigarettes is particularly shabby, while they unaware .
Many people insisted that homosexuals smokers prefer cigarettes smoked mixed. If this is a universal phenomenon, perhaps not consciously avoid the mainstream gay community social atmosphere results. Another possible explanation is that people prefer smoke mixed relationship with the whole system and mainstream society farther, them people are more willing to admit their sexual orientation.
In a very long time, smoking in China is a positive image appears. Reform and opening up in front of the movie, in addition to agents, the KMT officers and Japanese officers are rarely and the early 1980s to the 1990s, film and television drama director or substrate star praise reformist officials, the distinctive character of the reformist majority frowning and "proletarian revolutionaries", in addition to Zhou Enlai and a handful of exceptions, the whole left public television image is a chain smoker.
Strange hair, strange dialect, as well as traditional smoking posture, is special type of actors trying to make themselves more like the leader of an important focal point. Ku has said of his knack for playing Mao summary, when Mao Zedong did not like smoke bomb soot, but the soot to be very long after gently brushed - leader of special type of actor to imitate them with too many details.
However, the future of the special type of actor to play a good leader today may screenwriters, not a dialect, not strange hair, the end of the year 2013, the CPC Central Committee, the State Council issued the "leading cadres take the lead in public places Smoking related matters notice "- they do not even smoked a cigarette. Fortunately, they now changed the bun.
