COURSE FEATURES
Lingnan has long been known for its thriving markets and developed commerce. Since the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Thirteen Factories for foreign trade, Guangzhou has also enjoyed strong domestic sales. There is a slang phrase in Xiguan: “Go out and build on the streets, and some people will peddle in four alleys, praying for God and worshipping Buddha, and divination. There are all kinds of the things.” It shows the extent of its wealth and prosperity. The prosperous economy created the rise of a group of connoisseurs and collectors, including Kong Guangtao, Liang Yuwei, Rong Geng, and Shang Chengzuo. This course focuses on the story of Cantonese connoisseurs and collectors across the country to explore their role and function in the formation of regional cultures.
