It can be said that the modern Chinese financial industry was started by merchants in Shanxi Province in Qing Dynasty (1644—1911). After making fortunes, these rich merchants built luxurious residence, which have now become famous tourism destinations.
可以说,中国近代的金融业是在晋商手中诞生的。那时候山西人的店铺遍布全国数十座城市.甚至开到了日本欧洲、东南亚。山西人开的“票号”左右了大清朝200余年的金融市场连慈禧太后也向晋商借过银子。这些发了财的晋商衣锦还乡极尽奢华建宅子，于是有了这气势夺人的晋中大院。
