Recapping the Academic Seminar “從瀏河鎮到上海，18到19世紀海港的轉移” conducted by Prof. David FAURE on 26 October 2018

In this lecture, Prof. David FAURE examined how Liuhezhen’s (Liu River Town) role in trade from the 18th through 19th centuries was replaced by Shanghai. In 1816, Jin Duanbiao, a resident of Liuhezhen, wrote Liuhezhen Jilue (A Brief Account of Liuhezhen) where he documented the prosperity of Liuhezhen from 1685 and her decline at the end of the 18th century. Jin Duanbiao noted that hundreds of thousands of silver was shipped from Liuhezhen to Suzhou every month. From this, Prof. FAURE pointed out that Liuhezhen was not only the center of the bean cake trade, but also played an important role in the exchange of different currencies such as copper coins and silver. At the end of the 18th century, the Liu River silted up and the town declined. Shanghai gradually replaced Liuhezhen as the destination for south-bound vessels from northern China becoming the new banking center for monetary exchange.
