Introduction
For this assignment, the essay, “On Merchants” by Zhang Han was chosen for discussion. The document was written during the latter half of the Ming dynasty, a period when active commercialization was realized at the regional and the national levels (Patricia, 1993). Notably, this was the sprout of capitalism as the Ming dynasty was brought out of its initial obscurity and advanced its commercial activities solely for profits (Patricia, 1993). As such, the essay highlights the growth of the dynasty’s economy by capitalizing on trading activities with its neighbors.
