ABSTRACT

In the late Qing Dynasty, the Biaoju experienced a process from prosperity to decline. Due to its special social position, it actively participated in charity activities to integrate into mainstream society. The reports on the Biaoju's charity activities in "Shun Pao" covered multiple aspects such as the transportation of disaster relief silver, the delivery of information in disaster-stricken areas, and the collection of charitable donations. The Biaoju had multiple motives for participating in charity activities, including beautifying its own image and fulfilling social responsibilities, and showed diverse participation methods and characteristics, such as multi-level participation, a strong sense of social responsibility, as well as long - term and sustainable nature. These charity activities had certain impacts on the Biaoju itself and the society. Although they were helpful in establishing a good image and strengthening cooperative relationships, they failed to change its fate of decline. The social activities of the Biaoju in the late Qing Dynasty and its role in history need further in-depth study.
