There is a proverb in Huizhou: if you don't practice in your last life, you were born in Huizhou at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and you were rejected. It is a true portrayal. Because there are many mountains and few fields, Huizhou families can't afford to raise their children and grandchildren. Boys 13, 4 years old will go out as apprentices, and they can't go home if they don't learn. This is the origin of the famous "Huizhou merchants" in ancient times. Therefore, Mr. Hu Shizhi, a native of Huizhou, has a saying, "No town, no emblem".
After three and a half years, women in Zhangzhou can only live alone and dare not cross the border, because they are breathless with a heavy hat on their heads. This is the "Zhu Chengxin Confucianism" that brings Confucius' Confucianism into full play.
Because young people leave home, Huizhou merchants value profit over parting, and they are looking for flowers outside, but they have wives at home. There is a local saying that "one wife and three wives for three and a half years", that is to say, being a wife of Huizhou people will only be together for three and a half years in a lifetime. This statement has been proved to be true after repeated textual research by good people.

The Historical Frontier of Huizhou
In the second year of Xuanhe (1 120, 10), on the ninth day of October, Fang La led an uprising in Qixian Village, Shexian County, and successively captured fifty-two counties in six states in the south of the Yangtze River, which had a great influence.
In the third year of Xuanhe in Song Huizong, it was renamed Huizhou after Fang La Uprising. Except Xing 'an Mansion (1357- 1367) at the end of Yuan Dynasty, the name Huizhou was used for 780 years after the Revolution of 1911, and the six counties under its jurisdiction remained unchanged, which played a role in nurturing the relatively unified culture of Huizhou.
Huizhou is an important economic and cultural place in the history of China. Anhui is named after Anqing's "An" and Huizhou's "Emblem". Huizhou is not only a geographical concept, but also a historical, cultural and ideological concept. In ancient China, Huizhou thinkers probably made their thoughts live and secular most consciously.
They quietly introduced the moral and ethical principles that originally belonged to the upper class into the people's life world. In the past, people, events and stories in Huizhou have drifted away. And those historical and cultural memories hidden in the people are still vivid. ...
Ancient Huizhou was the birthplace of Huizhou merchants who ruled China's business circles for more than 500 years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
