闽帮侨批业网络发展初探

A Primary Study of the Network Development of Emigrant Mail Business in Fujian

"侨批档案"是特定历史时代人类的记忆遗产。以信局网络发展为主线,以侨批实物上记载的信息为依据,考察水客个人、信局网络到侨批行业网络整个侨批业发展过程,认为闽帮侨批局作为企业组织,有其网络经营的国际化视野和金融属性,能够因时因地而变,从而促进和适应不同时期侨批的业务发展。最后以吴道盛从当信局学徒,到开办建南信局,进而创办建南银行为例,说明闽帮侨批业最终归宿是获得新生,得到了进化。

＂Emigrant Mail files＂ is a collection of records of human interactions in a specific historical era. Taking the Emigrant network development of Remittance House as a main line and according to the records of Emigrant Mail, we observed the development from the individuals to the entire Emigrant Mail network and thought that the Fujian Emigrant Mail was international and financial as a business organization which promoted the business of Emigrant Mail in accordance with the time and the place. Finally, an example of Wu Daosheng, who served his apprenticeship at Remittance House at the beginning and then opened a Jiannan Remittance House and then established a Jiannan Bank, illustrated how the Fujian Emigrant Mail developed by opening new business from these activities.
