试论大运河在徽商兴盛中的作用和影响

The Effects and Influences of The Grand Canal in the Prosperity of Huizhou Merchants

徽商与大运河是休戚与共的命运共同体,两者之间是一种双向良性互动关系。徽商能够称雄商界300年,离不开大运河这条流淌千年的黄金水道的丰厚滋养。大运河不仅促成了徽商由地区性商人发展为全国性商帮,而且促进了徽商与外界经贸往来和文化交流、促使了徽商精神由开拓创新转向开放包容。因此,与其说徽商让千年大运河奔流不息,不如说是大运河成就了徽商宏图伟业。

Huizhou Merchants share the community of shared future with the Grand Canal,both of which form a bidirectional and positive relationship.The Grand Canal,a golden waterway that has flowed for thousands of years,nourished Huizhou Merchants and boosted them to the peak in the business circle for three hundred years.The Grand Canal not only propelled Huizhou Merchants to evolve from regional individuals to national business groups,but also converted the spirits of Huizhou Merchants from innovative to comparative turning through trades and cultural exchanges with the external areas.Therefore,it is more rational that the Grand Canal helps gain the great business achievements for Huizhou Menchants,rather Huizhou Menchants keep the Grand Canal running unceasingly for a million year.
