Inn is the title of ancient hotel. People will find places to stay when they go out for a long trip, and those who provide these places for people to stay temporarily are called inns. It is to meet people's needs for outing or long-distance travel. Some hotels with relatively simple equipment are also used by merchants to stack goods and handle transshipment.
Now the word inn has changed from a real thing to a synonym for gathering feet. Now online chat rooms or forums are also called inns.

The origin of the inn:
1. In the late Middle Ages, due to the vigorous development of commercial trade, more and more businessmen traveled abroad, missionaries, worshippers, diplomatic officials negotiating with other countries and postmen delivering letters, and the number of inns increased accordingly.
2. In the era of great navigation, the scale of inns began to expand, and some inns can already provide more than 30 rooms, including wine cellar, pantry and kitchen, to meet more needs of guests. In addition, the environment has begun to improve. There are gardens and lawns next to the inn, and there are banquet halls and dance halls inside, which are moving towards modernization.
3. But no matter how it changes, most of the inn buildings are log buildings, which is a unique image of the inn in people's minds. But on the whole, the reputation of ancient inns is very poor, and they are often considered as low-level industries for people to make a living. The inn is also unsafe, and things outside the law often happen, such as robbery, fighting, gambling and so on.
