"Post Station" refers to the entry in Modern Chinese Dictionary, which is interpreted as "the place where people who delivered government documents changed horses or rested in ancient times"; Shuowen said: "Post, riding also, from the horse, the sound of testicles", indicating that its means of transportation is a horse, the route it passes through is a post road, and the transit node is called a post office (station), Du Fu's "Skinny Horse Travel" "Look closely at the official seal", Cen Can's "Judge Yuwen goes to Longshan for the first time", "Post passes through one post, and post rides like this. Pingming made it to Weiyang, and it went to the mountain. " Han Yu once described that "the mansion is three hundred miles west, and the back pavilion is the same as the fish scale." Vaguely provides the management details of the busy post office in Tang Dynasty.

Posthouse is not as leisurely and romantic as villas and luxury hotels, but literati can dream here; When Xian Di was a history book of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao and got his daughter-in-law Zhen Shi. Cao Zhi saw it and wanted to be a wife. Cao Cao refused and gave it to his eldest son Pi. The planting is uneven and I miss the real stone very much. Pi was honored as Wei Wendi by Zen Buddhism and was ordered to enter the DPRK. At this time, Zhen Shiyin has been killed by Guo Hou. The emperor showed Zhen Xuan's relics, jade and gold to the factory. Tears ran down his eyes, so the emperor gave them to the plants. I went back to the fief, passed by the bank of Luoshui, and stayed at the post office to sleep with a pillow. I suddenly dreamed that I was looking for a girl and said to Zhi, "My heart was entrusted to you, but I couldn't get it. This pillow is my dowry. Now it is in the hands of the king. I want to recommend a pillow pad. " The two of them love each other deeply ... Zhen also told Zhiyun: "I died of chaff for Queen Guo, and now I have long hair and have no face to see the king again." If you stop talking, you will wake up from your dream, and your sadness and joy will not win, so you will write "Feel Zhen Fu". After Ming Di succeeded to the throne, it was renamed "Luoshen Fu"-the posthouse was like a typhoon shelter, but it was Cao Zhi's lingering sadness. Song Huizong xuanhe three years (1 12 1), when Li Qingzhao went to Laizhou to go to her husband's post office in Changle county, she wrote the word "dead Hua Lian", missing her brothers and sisters and worrying about her ill-fated trip to Laizhou.

Every time news broke out in the posthouse, in the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (755), An Lushan rebelled in Fanyang in the name of "Jun Qing Border", and Xuanzong got the news in Huaqingchi (about 500 Li per day) within six days. In a hurry to explore the west of Sichuan, the soldiers were hungry and exhausted when they had to rest at Mayi Post (the biography of Tang Yang Guifei). Slaughter it-poor peerless beauty died of incense and was buried on the west side of Yilu (old Tang book). At that time, she was a "pet of three thousand people" and liked to eat litchi since she was a child. "People born in Sichuan are stronger than those born in Sichuan, so she rushes forward every year ..." (Supplement to History of Tang Dynasty).

So, how did the demoted official leave Beijing to take office? According to volume 41 of Don Yao Hui: "Tianbao five years (742) ... (Li accelerated the persecution of dissidents), those who should be belittled at present will be condemned. If they hear that they have stayed on the road, the county will allow them to stagnate. From now on, those who are slightly worse on the left will have to work more than a dozen times a day. " Zhang Ji's "Song of Mourning for the Past" said: "The Yellow Gate ordered the arrest, and Jing was arrested by the Imperial Department. ..... The postman often falls under his hoof when he is in a hurry to drive. " Han Yu's "On the way to send the third bachelor to Jiangling" recalled that year: "China's envoy delivered the door and couldn't stay for a moment. My sick sister (her 12-year-old daughter died on the way) is lying on the mattress, and she is known to be separated from you. Don't cry, please don't nod. A weak wife holds a young child and forgets her shame when she goes out to worship. " How harsh, cruel and thrilling! In the early years of Song Zhezong Shaosheng (1094), Qin Guan, who was relegated to the south because of his opposition to the resumption of political reform, complained in a post station in Chenzhou, Hunan Province: "The lonely pavilion is cold in spring, and the sunset is cuckoo"-fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor, had a legacy at that time and didn't kill the literati, so he was able to hobble and ask the post men on the road to take them to see Dongpo, an old friend far away. Dongpo Jushi demoted Hainan Changhua Army as "not driving" and lamented that "there is no meat, no medicine, no room and no friends, no charcoal in winter and no cold spring in summer, but it is not easy to get it all, and the rate is deaf." (Answer to Qin Shu (Guan) Taixu) Three years later, when I left the North, I was deeply touched (one of the two songs of Tongchao Pavilion at Chengmai Station); At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Song and others were taken to the north. On the way, Wang Qinghui, that is, Adu Zong Zhao Yi, wrote an inscription of "Man Jiang Hong" on the wall of the post office, expressing the pain of national subjugation: "Who can say it after all ages?" In the face of the broken mountains and rivers, I can only cry on my face, blood and tears. The night in the guest room is a dusty dream, and Che Xiao Palace overlooks Guan Shanyue. "In the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1592), Tang Xianzu, who was exiled, stayed in Li Antang Post on his way home, but was warmly received and comforted. That night, Tang wrote the poem "Nan En Dao Zhong": "... ask a small official to know that it is the Li Antang Post. ..... But Yu He's heart is empty, and I have a room to be quiet as soon as possible. "

The tables have turned and the treacherous court official has been demoted. The infamous 80-year-old Cai Jing was demoted, and the people along the way didn't sell food at all, and they couldn't live in a post office. However, they finally froze to death and starved to death in Changsha desert temple. Jia Sidao, a traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, was demoted and killed by Zheng Huchen, who was escorted to Mumian Temple, and there was no good end. Zhu Youjian (1628), Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, and Wei Zhongxian was impeached and exiled to Fengyang to guard the imperial tomb. When he left Beijing, he paraded the streets with 1000 guards and 40 carts full of gold and silver treasures, which greatly angered the emperor, causing him to commit suicide by staying at the Youjiadian Inn in Fucheng, and his entourage also dispersed.

Sima Qian said in Baoren An Shu: "Gaisibo (King Wen) was arrested and played Zhouyi; Zhong You wrote Spring and Autumn Annals; Qu Yuan's exile is a tribute to Li Sao ... probably because of the anger of sages. " Yu's insights in Cultural Journey and A Corner in Dongting are: "An extremely striking part of China culture can be called' the culture of demoting officials'"-admittedly. Today, the historical remains of the post station are a part of China culture. The so-called "sunset, remnant roads, westerly winds, withered vines, dark crows, thin horses and inscriptions" have a nostalgic feeling for wanderers and have certain tourism market development potential.
