ABSTRACT

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, as an important waterway connecting the north and south, drove the development of economic and cultural exchanges on both sides. Located in the western part of Shandong, Liaocheng was the only prefectural political center city along the Shandong section of the canal during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Taking advantage of the canal transportation, the economy of Dongchangfu District prospered rapidly, and local merchants established more than a dozen regional guild halls, with the most complete one being the Shan-Shan Guildhall. The Shan-Shan Guildhall symbolizes the prosperous commercial development of Dongchangfu District in history. Based on the previous research and combining the local characteristics of Liaocheng, this paper aims to study and discuss the historical and cultural value of the Shan-Shan Guildhall.
