When did Huizhou people who left their hometown in ancient times return home?

Huizhou people who left their hometown in ancient times generally left their hometown at a young age!

Since Huizhou has been surrounded by mountains since ancient times, there is naturally less cultivated land, and it is difficult for agricultural production to make a fortune. Therefore, a tradition has gradually formed in Huizhou, and boys choose to be officials or do business. Therefore, Huizhou officials and businessmen have formed a very important torrent in the history of China, regardless of their scale or influence. Among them, Huizhou merchants became one of the four largest commercial gangs in ancient China, and made indelible contributions to the development of ancient economy.

Hui merchants, alias Xin 'an merchants, lived in the same clan as Shanxi merchants in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which had great influence. Small towns in the south of the Yangtze River often say that "a town can't be built without Huizhou School". For example, Huizhou merchants have the greatest influence among salt merchants in Yangzhou, and Suzhou, Hangzhou and Quzhou are also cities where Huizhou merchants are concentrated.

Huizhou is located at the end of the house, which belongs to the marginal zone, with high mountains and dense forests, changeable terrain and late development. Before the Han Dynasty, the population was small, but three waves of immigrants in the history of late Jin, late Song, late Tang and China brought a large population to Huizhou in southern Anhui, with a large population and few mountains. Going abroad for business is a way out. Abundant resources promote business development. The earliest business of Huizhou merchants was grain in mountain products and other places. If the abundant wood resources are used in construction, ink making, painting, tung oil and paper making, these are all commodities exported abroad, and tea is a well-known brand such as Qimenhong and Wuyuan Green. Going out to do business mainly deals in salt, cotton (cloth) and grain. Huizhou culture shaped the character of Huizhou merchants-Confucian merchants, and guided their management with Confucian culture. China's commodity economy developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and capitalism sprouted in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was the heyday of Huizhou merchants. In the countryside around Xitou Township, Wuyuan, there has been a saying since ancient times: "Take your time, and you will arrive in Yuhang in three days." It reflects the close relationship between ancient Huizhou and Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
