HU YUANTAI'S TEA HOUSE

Tea Merchants from Anhui in Jiangyan

Hu Yunqing, who was born in Jixi, Anhui, engaged in the tea industry in Jiangyan and the surrounding areas since Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. After four generations of inheritance for over one hundred years, the Hu family established Hu Yutai Tea House, Hu Zhentai House, Hu Yuantai House, Yutaihe Tea House, etc. Together with Hongyi Taihe, Fangheda and Southern Anhui Tea Firm, these tea houses made great contributions to the economic and social development of Jiangyan.

Under the deep influence of the moral thought in Confucianism, merchants from Anhui advocated "making profits by justice". Hu Yuantai's tea house made many donations to dredge river channels, build funeral homes and set up cemeteries to bury those unclaimed bones. That is to say, Anhui merchants would benefit the local area where they did business.
