清代初期广州“十三行”鼎盛原因探析

Cause Analysis of "The Thirteen-hong of Canton" in Early Qing Dynasty

中国清代的三大商团分别为:以经营票号著称的晋商,以操办盐业为主的徽商,还有垄断对外贸易的广州行商。其中广州行商在政府特殊政策支持下,取得了垄断中西贸易的权力。在中西贸易大增的环境下,利用区域性商人的集群优势,依靠开放的经营之道、务实的商业作风,获得巨额利润,广州"十三行"因之而走向鼎盛。

The three biggest business groups in Qing Dynasty were Jin Traders who were good at business exchange,Hui Merchants who took the salt as their main work and itinerant traders in Canton who monopolized foreign trades.They got the right,allowing them to forestall Sino-western commercials because the government had some special policies for them.Under the rapid increase of the Sino-western trade with their regional business clusters and opening ways of business,they made huge profits.Besides,they also had good commercial ethics and laid the foundation of the flourishing Thirteen-hong in Canton.
