IV. Conclusion
|
Through viewing the precious historic materials left by the Qing official Shen Bao-zhen, the Hsu family enterprise Qian-he hao in Lugang, and the Chen family enterprise Tai-yi Hou in Nagasaki, we can glimpse the old capital of Tainanfu starting in the seventh century; the prosperous city of Lugang, which traded with Quanzhou, busy business center Bangkah which traded with Xiamen and Nagasaki. Tainanfu, Lugang and Bangkah not only witness the history of economic development in Taiwan, but also reflect Taiwan’s crucial role in East Asia. |
