Ta-king the ancient tea plantation in Yiwu Ancient Tea Mountain, one of the six ancient tea mountains in Yunnan Pro-vince, for example, the interview method and the participatory observation method are used to explore the evolution mechanism of the ancient tea plantation landscape on the four dimensions of labor mode, consumption mode, communication mode and spiritual needs in the broad sense of residents' lifestyle. The results are as follows. First, due to the collision of different lifestyles of the local residents, the tea plantation landscape has experienced four stages: natural tea plantation, traditional tea plantation, modern tea plantation and ecological tea plantation. Se-cond, the population mobility in different historical periods was the driving force of lifestyle changes, which has changed the landscape of tea mountain, tea land and tea tree in the ancient tea plantations to different degrees. Third, the upgrading of labor mode and consumption mode promoted the evolution of tea land landscape while the upgrading of consumption mode and the diversification of social mode promoted the evolution of settlement landscape, and the diversification of communication mode and spiritual demand was an important driving force of the innovation of ancient tea plantation culture.
