The non-governmental charity activities in Leizhou area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties include aiding the troubled clans and neighbors, post-disaster relief, donation to education and so on. The prevalence of char-ity activities resulted from many factors:the economic development of Leizhou area in the Ming and Qing Dynasties which laid a material base for charity activities, popularization of Confucian education which sowed the idea of kind-ness among the people, example effect of local officials and local charitable people in Leizhou, recognition of charita-ble deeds from government and civilians. Charity is the only effective way for the rich people to protect their private property. Non-governmental charity activities eased the class contradiction, stabilized the social order, and promoted the development of local education which cultivated talented people.
