Huizhou Merchants
The phrase Huizhou merchants refers to the merchant associations that developed in six Huizhou counties (Shexian, Xiuning, Wuyuan, Jixi, Yixian, and Qimen). For three hundred years during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, they were the largest business groups in China.
