明清时期,河南以其天下之中的地理位置,密集的人口、丰富的物产和市场活跃的工商业城镇,吸引大批徽商来此经营。他们在河南市场上的活跃,不仅促进了南北物资交流,带动了这一区域社会经济的发展,还繁荣了当地文化,对政治也产生了一定程度的影响。 In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Henan attracted a large number of merchants from Huizhou for its geographical position, dense population, rich resources and marketable industrial and commercial towns. Their active market in Henan not only promoted the exchange of goods between the north and the south, spurred the development of social economy in this region, but also prospered the local culture and also had some political influence.
