经济与文化互动——徽商兴衰的一个重要启示

Interaction between economy and culture: an inspiration from the rise and decline of Huizhou merchants

商品和市场乃至地理环境不是徽商兴衰的决定性因素。徽州文化在徽商崛起的过程中起了重要作用。徽商的成功铸就了徽州文化的辉煌。儒家文化的负面影响为徽商衰落的内在因素。经济与文化互动是徽商兴衰的一个重要启示。

Commodities, market and geographical environment were not the decisive factors in the rise and decline of Huizhou merchants. Huizhou culture played an important role in the rise of Huizhou merchants and their success led to the prosperity of Huizhou culture. The negative influence of Confucian culture was the underlying factor in the decline of Huizhou merchants. Interaction between economy and culture was an important inspiration from it.
