Besides these names, what are the names of ancient hotels and inns?

In the past 3000 years, ancient hotels and inns have names such as libraries, post offices, houses and shops. These four categories, dozens of names or appellations, can be said to have formed the changing history of hotel names.

In ancient China, there were different types of hotels with different names. Due to the different cultural background, system construction and living habits in different historical periods, as well as people's different cognition and understanding of hotels, ancient hotels have different names in different periods.

First, in the late Shang dynasty, many "guest houses" and "guest houses" appeared in various places to meet the needs of businessmen from all over the world. In the Zhou dynasty, in order to facilitate the vassal States to pay tribute to the court, guest houses were built on the main roads. According to the records, in the streets outside Beijing, there is a "Lu" every ten miles to provide food and drinks for passing guests. There is a "roadside room" every thirty miles, and a "waiting room" that can provide accommodation every fifty miles. The Zhou royal family also set up officials to manage the guest house.

2. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "hotel industry" attracted the attention of the ruling class at that time. It is stipulated in Shang Yang's political reform that passengers without certificates and shopkeepers who leave guests for accommodation without authorization will be punished. Founded in the Qin and Han Dynasties, "Post Biography" is the name of a hotel, which is used to send mails and official documents and allow officials to stay. By the Han Dynasty, hotels had developed greatly. Chang 'an has 140 many "county houses" and "barbarian houses" for foreign envoys and businessmen to live in.

Third, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Jin personally took part in rectifying old hotels. In the Jin Dynasty, from Kyoto to counties, there were "post stations" every forty miles, and there were "pavilions" every twenty miles, which were used not only by past officials, but also by ordinary people.

4. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a new type of hotel, the underground shop, appeared. Emperor Dian is a residence integrating accommodation, inventory and transaction. At that time, Luoyang also opened the "Siyi Pavilion" to entertain envoys or businessmen from neighboring countries who came to pay tribute. The sui dynasty set up a "client department" to entertain businessmen and envoys from the western regions and Japan.
