Why is accommodation and accommodation also called "accommodation"?

In books, newspapers and magazines, it is often seen that a head of state, a politician or an international celebrity will visit a place and stay in a hotel. There are also records in ancient books, such as Liu Changqing's poem "Seeing Jia in the Three Norths" in the Tang Dynasty: "I also know that you linger everywhere, and the autumn wind does not linger." Another song, Romance of the Three Kingdoms: "You sit comfortably and stay in the thatched cottage tonight." So, why are lodging and lodging also called "staying"?

In fact, the word "Liu" has an allusion, which comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. "Living" means staying for the night. A couch is a narrow and low bed. It is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Volume 66. In the year of Biography of Chen Fan, Chen Fan, a minister at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was upright and evil as an enemy. At that time, the imperial examination system in Han dynasty had not yet formed. "Filial piety" is an official selection system in Han Dynasty. Local officials recommend people who are filial to their parents and honest to the court to be officials.

When Fan Chen was in his twenties, he became a doctor by preaching filial piety. Soon, his mother died of illness, and Fan Chen gave up his post to offer condolences. Later, I became a magistrate of Le 'an. At that time, there was a noble man named Zhou Ao in the county. Yu Meng is from Lin Ji. Several governors wanted to promote him, but Zhou Yu refused. Only Chen Fan can attract him.

To show respect for Zhou Ao, Chen Fan only called him by his name, not by his words. Chen Fan also built a bed for Zhou Ao in the mansion to receive him for the night, and hung it up when Zhou Ao left.

In addition, it is also recorded in the biography of Fifty-three Xu in the Later Han Dynasty. Xu Zhi, male, was born in Nanchang, Changyu, Eastern Han Dynasty. Xu Zhi is knowledgeable, but his family is poor. He supports himself by farming, and he is famous for his noble character. He rejected the government's repeated appeals.

At that time, Chen Fan was appointed as Changyu magistrate, and he invited Xu Zhilai to make contributions to the government with generous gifts. Knowing that Xu Zhi's decline was not good, he went to visit Fan Chen in person and then resigned. Chen Fan county government does not receive guests, but specially set up a couch for Xu Zhi's visit. Xu Zhi died when he left.

"Wuhua Tianbao, the city where Longguang shoots bullfighting; Outstanding people, Xu Ru went down to Chen Fan couch. " It means gorgeous natural treasure, and the Longquan sword shines directly between the bucket and the cow; Outstanding talents and beautiful mountains and rivers are as high as living in a special bed in Chen Fan. Preface to Wang Teng-ting, a famous poem written by Wang Bo, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he hosted a banquet in Gong Yan, the secretariat of Hongzhou.

The content of this poem is to praise Hongzhou where Wang Tengting is located. The poem is really outstanding, quoting Xu Ru's allusion to Chen Fan couch and praising Xu Ru and Chen Fan as talents.

As can be seen from these two allusions, the original intention of staying overnight refers to Chen Fan's respect for Zhou Ao and Xu Chu, and its original intention is to treat a well-deserved corporal with courtesy and stay overnight. Later, these two allusions were also called "staying in Chen Fan" and "Chen Fan couch", referring to the guests who value talent or courtesy. Gradually, the last "accommodation" is also used to refer to accommodation or boarding.
