Abstract:
This study focuses on the role played by Yangzhou salt merchants in the formation of Yangzhou’s urban landscape during the Southern Inspection Tours of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong. First, those merchants provided enormous material support for the imperial inspection tours. Second, they constructed a series of landscape and buildings besides palaces for the emperors to enjoy their tours in Yangzhou. Third, during the southern tours of Emperor Qianlong, the landscape and cultural construction in Yangzhou reached its peak, thus changing the city’s outlook fundamentally. Because of their contributions to the success of the emperors’ southern inspection tours, the merchants enhanced their economic, political and social status, and thus had a great impact on landscape and culture of Yangzhou City in the mid-Qing Dynasty.
