China's business tradition can be traced back to ancient times. Why is the most famous of all the business gangs "Southern Hui and Northern Jin"?
China has always been a tradition of attaching importance to agriculture and restraining commerce in ancient times, but despite this, the commercial development in Ming and Qing Dynasties was better than that in other dynasties, especially the emergence of commercial gangs in this period, among which the most famous were Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants at that time, commonly known as "Southern Hui and Northern Jin".

Huizhou merchants are talking about merchants who originated in Anhui. They formed a gang in the process of doing business. At that time, due to the geographical location and climatic factors in Anhui, people in this area went out to seek a way out for survival, but their development direction was not limited to China at that time, but also included countries such as Southeast Asia. Their influence has expanded quite rapidly, and their development vision is not limited to this. They also attach great importance to education and often spend some money.

Shanxi merchants are talking about merchants entrenched in Shanxi, similar to the origin of Huizhou merchants. Because Shanxi has poor land and many hills, it can't develop agriculture. It was almost ten years and nine droughts at that time. The increase in population has starved many people, so it is also for survival. Shanxi people do business on a large scale. At the earliest, it was selling salt and iron. After accumulating capital, it began to develop banking business and grew very fast.

Generally speaking, the spirit of Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants has been handed down from ancient times to the present, guiding future generations to move on. When we look back on their development, we can see that they can become the most famous business groups and make dazzling achievements because they are hardworking, honest and trustworthy.
