Taste the history and culture, reveal the truth behind the secret! Hello everyone, welcome to watch the history of this issue, today, and share with you the content is: ancient people went out, why eat and stay in the inn? Don't be fooled by movies and TV dramas!
With the development and progress of society, the increasing improvement of living standards, now our lives have already undergone earth-shaking changes, and there are many ways for us to go out, such as trains, high-speed railways, planes, etc. But in ancient times, there were no modern means of transportation, so how did they go far away?
In fact, the ancient people going out can be very different from the interpretation in film and television dramas. We often see in film and television dramas that the ancients generally lived in inns when they went out, however, the ancient inns, but only officials could stay, and ordinary people were not allowed to live in inns.
If you are not an official and have a certain relationship, then you can still live in an inn through this relationship, if you are just ordinary people, then don't think about being able to live in an inn!
Ordinary people can't stay in the inn, so can they stay in the inn? It turns out that these places are not allowed, the ancient law is quite strict, ordinary people go out once a long way, it is quite rare, ancient times is not only inconvenient traffic, but also no navigation, so the ancient people usually do not go out of the door.
And ancient hotels and caravanserais, these places are actually for merchants to live, that is to say, merchants are allowed to live in the hotel, in many dynasties, privately open hotels that is illegal, because most of the ancient dynasties are still heavy agriculture and suppress business, it can be said that the status of merchants, in ancient times, is not very high!
The Warring States period until the Sui Dynasty period, almost did not support the people to go far away, the ancient population is very precious, if you go out to get a disease, it will be a big loss. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that this situation improved!
Datang can be said to be a relatively wealthy dynasty in ancient history, and the development of hotels at that time reached a peak period in ancient times. Hotels are not only opened by princes and ministers, but also by ordinary people, and the purpose of hotels is not limited to serving merchants, nor is it limited to spending the night at the far door, but to exchange news!
After the Tang Dynasty, the business of the hotel fell to the bottom again, until the end of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the hotel industry once again appeared a new vitality, with the improvement of the examination system, many people participated in the examination, and if you want to participate in the examination, it is to go to the capital of the dynasty for scientific research, therefore, the hotel has risen again!
Because the number of scholars is gradually increasing, the number of people who go to Beijing to participate in scientific expeditions has increased year by year, and this has also made the hotel industry once again shine at its peak, after all, people who study still need to have a place to live, of course, but the inns and hotels are not so luxurious.
