Historical Activities of Shanxi Merchants in Development of Coal Resource of the Province and Its Contemporary Value

山西不仅是中国名副其实的产煤大省,而且也毫无争议地成为世界煤炭生产的基地。而这一经济地位的取得,与晋商的贡献密不可分。晋商对山西煤炭资源的开发,对山西煤炭利权的争取和保护,对山西煤炭现代化开采的实践,无疑对山西煤炭大省的建设做了重要的奠基,意义非凡,他们艰辛而伟大的劳动成果延续至今,且深深融入了我们的生活。

Shanxi is not only a veritable coal producing province in China, but also an indisputable coal producing base in the world. This economic status has been closely related to the contribution of Shanxi Merchants, who set significant foundation for the development of Shanxi＇s coal resource, for the acquisition and protection of coal mining rights, and for the modern mining of the coal. The fruits of their hard and great work have continuously effected on our lives today.
