1. Post Office Introduction:
Postal service is an ancient way of postal express delivery, also known as "post red", which is a horse-style delivery network with post stations as the main body and a stepped delivery network with express shops as the main body. During the Spring and Autumn Period, postal delivery was very fast. On a mural painting of a mural tomb in Wei and Jin Dynasties, the postman held a simple document in his hand, and the post horse galloped at high speed on all fours.
2. Historical development:
In ancient China, horseback riding was called the post office. According to Oracle Bone Inscriptions's records, there was a post office in Shang Dynasty, and it was further improved in Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there was a post office every 34 miles on the avenue of delivering letters. There are horses in the post station, and horses can be changed in the post station.
In this way, official government documents and letters can be transmitted station by station. China's postal system experienced the development of Spring and Autumn Period, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, and gradually declined until the middle of Qing Dynasty, and was replaced by modern postal service.
