摘　　要：1902年上海商业会议公所的成立具有偶然性和临时性特点,并非完全出于保护商人和发展工商业之目的。促使商业会议公所成立的契机乃当时在沪上举行的中外商约谈判,起关键作用的人物是具有特殊官僚身份的商约大臣盛宣怀和上海工商界领袖严信厚。该公所存续时长仅两年有余,虽为商约谈判提供了某些咨询作用,在官商沟通方面也发挥了一定功能,但因设立仓促,章程简略,机构不完善,远未能发挥舆论所期望的作用与影响。就其性质而言,上海商业会议公所是不同于官办商务局和传统工商各业公所的新式商人团体,但在许多方面又与后来的商会有着明显不同,因而不宜简单地视之为近代中国最早成立的商会。The establishment of the Shanghai Commercial Conference Guild in 1902 was incidental and temporary and not solely aimed at protecting merchants and promoting industrial and commercial development.The occasion that prompted the establishment of the Commercial Conference Guild was the negotiation of Sino-foreign commercial treaties held in Shanghai at that time.The key figures involved were the Imperial Minister of Commerce,Sheng Xuanhuai,and Shanghai’s industrial and commercial leader,Yan Xinhou.The existence of the guild lasted for over two years.Although it provided some consultation for the treaty negotiations and played a certain role in communication between officials and merchants,due to its hasty establishment,brief regulations,and imperfect organization,it fell far short of the expected role and influence in public opinion.In terms of its nature,the Shanghai Commercial Conference Guild was a new type of merchant organization different from the government-run Ministry of Commerce and traditional guilds of commerce.However,it differed significantly from later chambers of commerce in many aspects,so it should not be simply regarded as the earliest chamber of commerce established in modern China.
