Western scholars compare Shanxi merchants with Jewish merchants, and they can really assert the pioneering spirit of Shanxi merchants. /kloc-from the early 7th century to the early 1930s, shops of Jinzhong merchants, especially Taigu merchants, spread all over the country. Three hundred years ago, Taigu merchants traveled as far as Macau, Japan, West Asia, Russia, Outer Mongolia and Western Europe. Their greatest achievement is that in 1824, the first financial institution "Rishengchang" was born in Pingyao, and Shanxi Bank, represented by it, traveled to the west, embraced China and "walked in the forefront of national finance". Creating "the richest man in the country", South Gulou Street in Taigu was once known as the Wall Street in China and the early birthplace of banking in China.

[Edit this paragraph] Shanxi merchant culture

Since 1997, Pingyao ancient city has been identified as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO, and the international influence of Pingyao International Photography Exhibition is getting better and better every year. From the popularity of the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" to the popularity of the TV series "Qiao Family Courtyard" and the sensation of the drama "beginning of autumn"; The charm of Shanxi merchant culture swept the country. The success of Shanxi merchants lies in the spirit of Confucian merchants. At that time, Shanxi merchants, deeply influenced by Confucian culture, made great progress in their business philosophy. The essence of the spirit of Confucian businessmen lies in the word "sincerity", which may also be a kind of value concept that is relatively lacking in society now. Dominating the domestic business community for more than five centuries, "business is booming all over the world, and financial resources are flourishing up to three rivers", which is the self-portrayal of Shanxi businessmen. The success of Shanxi merchants is remarkable. Every social practice has a special spirit as its soul, and this inner soul is the most active driving force in practice, and people engaged in this activity are the creators and practitioners of this special spirit. The success of Shanxi merchants in Ming and Qing Dynasties lies in their consciously or unconsciously carrying forward a special spirit under specific historical conditions, which includes enterprising spirit, professionalism and group spirit, and we can call it "Shanxi merchant spirit". This spirit also runs through the business consciousness, organizational management and spiritual cultivation of Shanxi merchants, which can be described as the soul of Shanxi merchants.
