Abstract

Abstract:

The development of agriculture and town economy on the Hangjia Hu Plain from the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries provided some conditions for the rise of distinguished and powerful families.At the same time the political accumulation and development of imperial examinations promoted those families to reach their prosperous summit.Though each family boomed or declined, social strata continued for three centuries.After the middle period of the nineteenth century the rise or fall of distinguished families in Tang Xi was interrupted finally through rapid social reforms and revolutions.

Key words: Tang Xi, family, transformation
