position and status,who were dwelling in concession of China,as our research objects.Undoubtedly speaking,this elite group,as a major force,to promote and accelerate the economy development of Tianjin and the North of China,has a significant impact on economy of Tianjin even though they fall into disgrace and struggled for the standing of their political power and influences.Hence,the research of Y Gong is vital in academic value Practical significance.Based on searching the related literature,there was no related research and papers in this filed.Firstly,the essay will summarize the development of concession and the reform and openness of Tianjin-trading ports.With the unique geographical advantage,Tianjin attracted lots of political elite to settle down.The essay will card and summarize the forming and developing of Tianjin YuGong.Following,I will probe into and dig into the activities and life of survivals of bygone ages of late Qing dynasty and the northern warlords government official fallen into disgrace,pointing out that though lost political power,influence and position,a lot of politician choose Tianjin,especially choose concession of Tianjin as their residence.At the same time,they look for the new opportunities to recover their political position.Actually speaking,most of the YuGong has amassed numerous wealth during this period.Therefore,due to the pursuit the large profit,they started to invest in industry and mining,finance and business,except for the real estate.What's more,they were also keen to relieve the people in disaster,goodwill and charity,donation to

started to drop up from our view.It also due to the difference of political situation,no matter form the aspect of government or the social,the evaluation of YuGong was also complicated.Whatever,generally speaking,YuGong,as a special group,has made the tremendous contributions in economy,culture and social activities in Tianjin.Since modern times,there were too much moral judgment and political praise or blame on survivals of bygone ages of late Qing dynasty and military and political big shots.Actually speaking,those judgments are the presentations which lack of elaborate research and objective treatment on the individual or the whole of YuGong and led to us produce acknowledge of abstract concept merely.The radical change of the era and the continuous revolution orientation result in our ignorance to YuGong Group and even our oblivion of this special history.When the history cascaded and accumulated,the distance between YuGong Group and us gets

group when lost power and influence in modern China,can enhance and promote the objective and integrated cognition of the Northern Warlords and the history and society of the Republic of China.
