Hello, everyone! First of all, I'd like to welcome you to the pelvis.
It was discovered in a census in 1985, which was later discovered by experts at all levels. It is said that it is the best preserved and largest ancient post station in China.
It was opened in 1375 in the Ming dynasty. It was opened by huang keming of the then high postal service. In ancient China post, its function is more comprehensive, there are about four: the first is the mail transfer function, which is the primary function of station, mail is equivalent to the functions of the post office now, so, the modern people often say that post is a precursor to post and telecommunications, as the origin of it. The second is the function of reception, which is the equivalent of our modern government guest house, which serves the past officials, ambassadors and so on. The third is the function of canal transportation. When you come, you may have noticed that we are on the verge of the beijing-hangzhou grand canal. In the Ming dynasty, the canal was connected to the north and south, which was the great artery of traffic. In ancient times, the ancient pyelons were carrying the north and south water, transporting food and transporting salt. For example, the high postal service has the north-south cheng zi river. After the grain salt is transported in the canal, it will be transported by post station to the river-cheng river and transported to the lower river area. The fourth is to escort prisoners, which is a special function of the station, which is equivalent to our current detention center.
Now we see the jar of city yi is a Ming dynasty remains, jar city yi is developed on the basis of very yi yuan dynasty, yuan to positive and jar is yi called beside qinhuai yi, zhu yuanzhang proclaimed himself, in the Ming hongwu nine years (AD 1376), the academician bachelor's archaeological correction of national legacy indecent yi, a total of 232 of correction, such as change the yangzhou yi to straight yi, will instead of zhenjiang yi jing yi, beside qinhuai city yi yi nature also renamed, after the.
The wall: 14 meters long and 3.5 meters high, is a symbol of class domination, reflecting the majestic grandeur of the ancient post office as the government of the government. In the ancient times, there were two ways of saying that: first, for the official, it could show the authority of the government. Second, for the folk, the common people believe that it can ward off evil.
Huang hua hall
The word "huanghua" was a kind of salutation to the envoy at the time. Emperor at that time China is the management center of the station hall, main duty is to command postal services, the processing of documents, at the same time, the ancient Chinese in gaoyou state officer also is met with past supervisor here.
Signing room: the main task of the signing room is the document to be sent to the west, to sign a word, to draw a bet, to confirm that the document has been sent.
Study: the study of the ancient times is for the place of rest and rest after the post - cheng office. This post - cheng was the chief executive officer of our station, and was a nine - quality officer. When it comes to the official position, you may feel like a mere nine judges. Yes, we have an old saying in China called "seven pinkhead", seven pinpoints are the little ones, but what about nine? But, don't look down upon our little do officer, he is directly under the central leadership, is the central sent to the local administrative officials, his relationship with the central is more special, is vertical leadership relations. The post - cheng was a minor official in the state county, but was sent to welcome, and zhou xuan was responsible for his superiors. After all, the post - cheng was a "official", and the post office was called "yamen" in the local area, which had a criminal instrument and could also publish the "notice".
In festival hall
"In" in ancient times means to stay, "section" refers to the past ambassadors, the residence in the tang was the reception task at that time. These are the guest bedrooms, which are used by past officials and literati. There is a couplet in the middle of this post: mei sends chunfeng, jiaohuaiqiu to hong. This couplet is written by general zhang aiping, whose jig is the reed. Is there not one sentence in the book of songs of the book of songs? The so-called iraqis, on the water side. We are rich in reed, and every year we come to the season of the reeds, where the eyes are white and the scenery is very beautiful. You can keep an eye on this room. It is the best house in the whole of the city. It is a legacy of Ming dynasty and has been in history for more than 600 years. The hall, the beam, the tiles, the pillars have not moved, completely maintained the style of the year. Side, for example, there are two pillars beams, there are some woodcarving decorative pattern, the pattern has certain meaning, the symbol of the east of the above carved with an ancient musical instrument - Qing, Qing in ancient times is a percussion instrument, so the column down it has two fish, and even up the meaning of the name is happy; On this side is a curved jade ruyi, the top of the yi is a "ten thousand" type of pattern, in the middle also has a long ribbon, connect the meaning of the whole generation is satisfied. There are also some, because ancient Chinese architecture is very symmetrical. There was a bat on the west side of the beam, and there was a copper coin in the belly of the bat, which was a symbol of the rich and rich. On this side, we have two squares of rice cake, which are the two lozenges, which are crossed together, like the shape of rice cakes that we eat during the Spring Festival. On this side is a brush holder on an ancient silver ingot, which means to be sure of victory. The ancients, like our modern people, wanted to be happy, so they were all harmonics, mainly reflecting the folk-custom content of the time. In 1996, the post was awarded as a national cultural relic protection unit, which played a great role in the room.
The couriers give up
The post - soons were the place where the post office workers lived, the equivalent of today's dormitories. , we look at the time of the division of labor is more detailed, with her husband, groom, drought, water, kitchen, etc., water is by boat the post with his groom is riding messenger, drought is to walk the post with his kitchen is cooking, prevention is the security guards. Post has staff more than 200 people at that time, there are more than 130 post horse horse, transport, 18 ships of more than 100 houses, covering a total area of more than sixteen thousand square meters, and we now recovery is only one 8 of the original total dimensions.

Now, if you look at the complete collection of pu songling, you can still see this article.
The exhibition of ancient Chinese postal history: this is the only one of the posthistory exhibitions in China, which introduces the history of the post and post from Yin shang to the revolution of 1911. According to oracle records, in shang dynasty in China had a train passing information, the zhou dynasty began to set up a mail transfer agency, responsible for government documents, reception of past officials transfer and delivery of the goods, has built a snort of fire alarm fire wind units, used to preach to the situation of the enemy. The early information transmission is carried out through the sound light, the sound is gong and drum, light beacuse. At that time, communication was very difficult. In the book of songs, the first collection of poems in our country, there were poems that reflected the folk communication, such as "wei wei" : I was not determined, but I was hired. "Bandit wind" : who will return the west, the good sound? At that time, whether he was away from his hometown, or because he was traveling, he had to send a message to his family and friends only if he met acquaintances who knew him. From the beginning of the qin dynasty, through the two han dynasty and the southern and northern dynasties, the Chinese post and post ended the scattered and chaotic situation and gradually developed into a unified and perfect direction, which laid the foundation for the subsequent dynasties. The hardships of civil communication in the northern and southern dynasties of wei and jin dynasties were reflected in the 19 >> of ancient poems, such as the Great Wall of the Great Wall of the Great Wall, > > : from afar, the two carp were left. The breath is cooked, and there is a foot in the book. At that time, some people were not easy to communicate, so they used hongyan and domestic dogs to send letters. Letters, time and security are not guaranteed. Eastern jin, there was a man called Yin envy, HongQiao (word), when he was doing the satrap sent to jiangxi, his relatives and friends and servant, he sent a letter, then the Kyoto in the health of the eastern (now nanjing, also called rock), when he went to the stone at the gates, put all these letters into the water, also full load abdominal complaints ground to say: "since the float sink ZiChen, floating, YanHongQiao don't mail for to book". The latter called the incident "hong qiao's mistake". Because of his high self-esteem, he looked down on the "letter to the book" of the book of the generation, fearing that he would defile his own honorable door, so he put all the more than 100 letters he had sent to him into the river. This indicates that the ancient torturers were unreliable.
YouYi in China before the song dynasty, its function is more comprehensive, in the song dynasty, people call the inn and post a clear distinction between the inn is mainly responsible for reception of all kinds of civil servants, the equivalent of our current government guest house, while YouYi specialize in communication. Song dynasty also implement a mercenary system, is to use load soldiers as yi, make delivery business full-time, don't like the zhou, qin, han, tang, are served by the common people take turns, this is a progress in the history of postal. In the song dynasty, it also allowed government officials to carry out private books, which would allow them to engage in private correspondence. It was another reform of the postal service in the song dynasty. Song taizong (985), formally ordered the official private books to be handed over, allowing Chinese and foreign officials to hand over the private books to the official post and post, which would make the communication of the general smaller officials a little easier. But in the song dynasty, the people who had the privilege of communication were a minority, and more civil communication still had to be carried by special people or people. After emperor zhu yuanzhang was proclaimed emperor, the post - post business was expanded, the post road was crisscrossing and communications were unblocked. During the period of the post - mail to the peak period, there appeared the situation of the great success of the series of postmen, the civil service bureau was widely published. But after mid-qing dynasty, because of the qing government decaying, the internal and external forces, with the rise of people mail the letter, official YouYi are gradually decline, by 1913, which is about the revolution, due to the needs of the industrial revolution, the qing railway and the establishment of the post office, the old relay transmission way has fallen behind the needs of The Times, and beiyang government announced the post all cut return mail.
The post has been promoting the development of history. After completing its historical mission, the post has quietly dropped out of the historical stage, but it has always been a magnificent and glorious chapter in the history of Chinese civilization.
Two Beijing post and post pictures
During the Ming dynasty, 46 poststations were set up along the canal between the two beijing-nanjing and Beijing, which was one of them. We see, in the jar is the south of the city, yi has a straight yi, is now of yangzhou, a claimed yesterday yi, in the north of it is the same claimed yesterday that the dry tea, and claimed yesterday it is in our territory of gaoyou, these a few post is about 60 li apart at that time, provisions of the first year of Ming hongwu, set a yi six or eight miles, the distance is just a drought, a day of travel. Was this a post is incredibly, this is mainly due to zhu yuanzhang after the founding, in the nineteenth year of yongle (AD 1421) Ming dynasty moved the capital Beijing, huge state apparatus, choice of the population, constituted a particularly strong consumption power, and the north food shortage, resource scarcity, transport from the south every year 3, four hundred mangoku food and supplies to Beijing, therefore, caohe became a big economy at that time, so-called "the big life, real in the". As the water horse post station at the time, we also had a heavy duty to carry out the heavy transportation task. It is worth mentioning that in ancient times, post is the same as our current railway or arterial road, across the country, but not all stations are incredibly like we shown in the figure, in the places where gigantic thin, post Settings are reduced accordingly. Xinjiang shihezi city, for example, when there is also a post, but its distribution is much more than we here sparsely, here is the quickest means of passing a horse, was also used in remote areas and some other tools, like sea Holly, etc., this is from place to place and appropriate. This is the people of Ming dynasty Cheng Chunyu compiled < < water yi jie to song > >, it's a bit like in mandarin, it put the 46 post together, mainly is for the use of convenient memory, because at that time from the yi people don't like we now have a certain cultural quality requirements, many yi is illiterate, so can they memorize yi.
Huang hua arched, its structure is two columns on the third floor, it is also a jar city yi's landmark buildings, through the arched, we have entered the inn lane, this alley is still called the inn lane, we have here in Ming dynasty qin mail mansion, a total of more than 60 beds, size or larger.
Regarding (GUI)
This is a sundial, which is a chronometric method in ancient China. Except the sundial timing method in ancient China, there are what dripping method, incense timing method, such as in cloudy, rainy day or night, because there is no sunshine, use what dripping or incense timing, to use the complement each other. The sundial timing method is mainly the use of the sun's shadow for timing, there is a metal rod, its engraved with the child ugly Yin bases around 12 hour, every hour is equivalent to two hours, now just 12 hour is 24 hours, watching the shadow cast by the sunshine of a metal bar position can know the time. We have an idiom in China. It's an instant
