Shanxi–Shaanxi–Gansu Guild Hall
山陕甘会馆
Guildhalls built by merchants in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu during the Qing Dynasty combined business contacts, sacrifices, and mutual assistance with fellow villagers. Dense wood carvings, brick carvings and stone carvings turn the facades and screen walls into auspicious images, operas and records of merchants' identities. It shows that after the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was still a commercial city connecting long-distance trade, and was not just a memorial to the former capital.
