从杭州商会的公益善举看社会的变迁——兼与在杭徽商会馆比较

Social Changes Seen from Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce's Charity and Public Welfare Activities

杭州商会通过捐资行善、办校办报、组建商团以及投资市政等方式,积极从事公益事业。它与在杭徽商会馆相比,杭州商会的公益善举形成与慈善机构日渐剥离、慈善活动不分畛域等特点,这些特点反映了时代的变化,折射出国家商业政策、商人自我认识的变迁。

Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce actively engaged in charity and public welfare activities through donating to charity,founding school and newspaper,establishing business groups and investing municipal facilities.Compared to Huizhou Merchants’ Club,the activities of Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce show its own characteristics,such as separating from charity organizations and no area limitations for charity.Those characteristics reflect social changes,in terms of national commercial policies and businessmen’s self-awareness.
