The family firm is one of the most popular commercial organizations in Chinese business world, and family and lineage have a complicated relationship with business. Many scholars have studied the relationship between them. However, the majority of related research focus on the influence of family and of lineage upon business, but the effect of business on family and lineage is much comparatively less. In the paper, I will explore how Jian Zhaonan (簡照南) and his families formed the Jian family due to conflict for the division of Nanyang's Shares. Moreover, the Jian family had a great financial contribution for the writing of A Genealogy of the Jian Lineage of Guangdong Province (粵東簡氏大同譜) and the establishment of the hall of Juxian (聚賢 堂) in order to establish the Guangdong Jian higher-order lineage. Through the case study of the establishment of the Jian family and the Guangdong Jian higher-order lineage, I will point out how business affects the creation and size of family and lineage. |
