移民与故土:旅沪广帮与晚清广东社会

Migrants and Hometown: the Cantonese Group in Shanghai and Cantonese Society in the Late Qing Dynasty

上海是晚清粤商的重要活动区域之一。旅沪广帮十分关注晚清时期广东的主要社会问题 ,并尽可能地在其中发挥自己的影响。欲全面了解晚清广东社会 ,必须将他们的活动考虑在内。此个案亦可加深对中国传统移民与其故土关系的认识。

Shanghai was one of the major regions for Cantonese merchants to do businesses in the late Qing Dynasty. The Cantonese Group in Shanghai was concerned about major social problems in Canton and tried to exert influence on them. Their activities should be studied to deepen the understanding of Cantonese society in the late Qing Dynasty. This case study can make us further understand the relationship between traditional migrants and their hometown.
