This collection comprises land records, personal contracts, licenses, and allotment agreements among devisees of the Zhang family of Hudu Village, as well as relevant documents about Wei Agui’s offspring. It is a source for understanding the development of Guanxi area, especially the developing trace of the Zhang family, the uniqueness of Hakka written language, and the early interactions between the plain aborigines and the Han settlers.

Special Lecture: Taiyi Trading Company and Chinese Merchants in Nagasaki
2012-02-16

In 1901, Taiyi Trading Company was founded in Nagasaki by Chen Guoliang (1804-1908) and Chen Shiwang (1869-1940), who were originally from Kinmen. They operated their wholesale business across Japan, China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The large number of documents, which were created by the company and dated back from 1862 to 1940, provide important historical sources for researching on clan history and the ventures of overseas Chinese.

In order to introduce and promote these valuable materials, the Institute of Taiwan History invites Mr. Chen Tong-hua, the fourth-generation descendant of Taiyi Company to present a lecture on March 6, 2012. Mr. Chen will share the historical context of the company as well as his own involvement in the activities among overseas Chinese. You are welcome to attend this special event!
