本文以徽州商人会馆为主要研究对象,通过分析它们的产生原因、发展过程及功能作用,认为会馆是在社会变迁的背景下产生的,一般由慈善设施演变而成。同乡会馆维护商业利益的机制尚处在萌芽阶段,作用有限,从总体上来说,会馆仍然是地域商人的慈善组织与设施。 This paper takes Huizhou Merchant Guild Hall as the main research object. By analyzing their causes, development process and function, it holds that the Guild Hall originated in the context of social changes and evolved from charity facilities. The syndicate’s mechanism for safeguarding commercial interests is still in its infancy and its role is limited. Generally speaking, the club remains the charitable organization and facilities of local businessmen.
