有關近代長崎華商泰益號的研究，學者針對該號經營構造、通商網絡、區域 貿易活動等議題，已有許多研究成果；惟聚焦於陳世望（1869-1940）個人事蹟的 討論很少。本文主要參考泰益號關係文書，就其經營貿易40 年的處事風格及其構 築的人脈網絡關係做一分析。 據本研究結果可知，陳世望在長崎華僑社會成為一名領袖，除了他天性寬仁， 精明能幹外，還與他有廣泛的社交活動地盤密不可分。其社交範圍包括：一、1905 年任長生會（喪事組織）會長；二、1911 年任福建省諮議局參議員；三、1908 年 任長崎華商商會副會長，1923 年任長崎中華總商會會長；四、1912 年任福建商幫 理事長；五、1922 年任長崎福濟寺正董事；六、1923 年任長崎華僑時中小學董事 長等。陳世望善用血緣、地緣、業緣、政治、社團組織、學校教育、宗教文化等 多層次網絡關係，這些關係相互作用的結果，是他經商致富，揚名海內外的重要 元素。

So far scholars researching the history of the Chinese business group “Tai-yi-hou” of Nagasaki have produced rich results in a wide range of subjects such as its business style, trading network, and involvement in regional commerce, etc. However, there has been little attention paid to the group leader, Chen Shi-wang (1869-1940), and his personal activities. This paper is devoted analyzing his life and styles of handling business connections together with their human networks as seen from an intensive exploration of the extant documents on the “Tai-yi-hou”. The research has revealed that the successful career of Chen Shi-wang as a prominent leader of the overseas Chinese community in Nagasaki can be attributed to the widespread contacts in his social life. These include the following important elements: 1. He was the president of the Chinese Equitable Funeral Society (Society of “Longevity”) in 1905; 2. He served as a member of the Consultative Council of Fujian Province in 1911; 3. He was the vice-president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Nagasaki in 1908 and was later elected to its presidency in 1923; 4. He was the Board Director of the Fujian Society of Trade in 1912; 5. He was the Board Director of the Fuji Temple in Nagasaki in 1922; 6. In the following year 1923, he became the Chairman of the Board of the Overseas Chinese Primary School in Nagasaki. As a well-known public figure, He fully utilized an ever-enlarging circle of influence ranging from kinship, Fujian fellowship, colleagueship at hand, down through to political identity, NPO participation and school establishment as well as various cultural resources to organize his own multi-layered human network. Undoubtedly, these wide-reaching connections he relied on must have contributed to his fame and achievements.
