I want to know the development history of Huizhou merchants? Who is the representative?

The general name of merchants or merchant groups in the old Huizhou mansion. Also known as "Xin 'an Businessman", commonly known as "Hui Gang". Huizhou merchants came into being in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, grew up in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the Ming Dynasty and declined in the late Qing Dynasty. Huizhou merchants refer to the merchants and merchant groups in Huizhou area in southern Anhui after the partition of jiangnan province and jiangnan province in Ming and Qing Dynasties, not all Huizhou merchants. Loose individual businessmen in various areas of Anhui Province outside Huizhou Prefecture are generally called "Huizhou merchants" and correspond to Huizhou merchants.

Huizhou, that is, Huangshan City in Anhui Province, Jixi County in Jiangxi Province, Xuancheng City and Wuyuan County, refers to the six counties of Huizhou, namely, Yun, Yi, Xiuning, Jixi, Wuyuan (after the founding of the People's Republic of China 1949 was included in Jiangxi) and Qimen.

According to the Book of Jin, Huizhou people like "parting" and often go out to do business. On the occasion of Qi and Liang Dynasties, Cao Lao, a native of Xiuning, often traveled between rivers and lakes and worked as a trafficker in Jia. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, in addition to the distribution of bamboo, wood, porcelain clay and raw lacquer, the advent of commercial tea, inkstone, Hui ink, Tang paper and Wang Boli pen further promoted the development of Huizhou merchants.
