Which is the most luxurious hotel in the Tang Dynasty, Zancheng Inn?

The Tang Dynasty was an era of cultural openness, economic prosperity and strong national strength, and people's living standards were greatly improved in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Travel became the norm in the Tang Dynasty, and hotels around the country were also very developed and convenient. At that time, the most luxurious hotel in China was Baocheng Post Station. In the Tang Dynasty, the post station and the post station were combined into one, which became a post station with dual functions of communication and official guest house, and the city post also played an important role.

I. Baocheng Post Station During the Tang Dynasty, there was a world-famous post station in the northwest of Hanzhong City, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The post station was built by Yan Qin beside the Baohe River, under the towering wall of Baocheng County. Yan Qin, a Sichuanese, is the governor of Shannan West Road (where Hanzhong is located), the Ministry of Yan Li. There are few records about him in history. Many poets in the Tang Dynasty left poems praising the city post and attached great importance to it. For example, the poet Yuan Zhen's "Praise the City Post" was named "Praise the City Post on the Wall" by a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty? The best job in the world? .

Second, the role of Zancheng Post Station is the most magnificent one among many post stations, with a large scale, where you can enjoy everything you can. There are luxurious hotels, delicious food from all over the country, boating and fishing. Beautiful scenery and elegant environment, I feel comfortable after arriving here. The location of Baocheng Post is also very important, connecting Fengxiang and Hanzhong, belonging to the transportation hub, which facilitates the transmission of letters between official posts. Official exchanges and correspondence are naturally very frequent, and officials, large and small, come in and out, and they are overwhelmed with entertainment, making city mail more important.

Third, everything in the decline of the post office has its ups and downs. With the decline of corruption in the Tang Dynasty, post offices all over the country gradually declined, and the post office in Baocheng was no exception. They have gradually fallen into disrepair, and there is no longer the endless stream of people in the past. On its broken wall, only the famous sentence "Book praises the post office wall" was left.
