What's the name of the ancient hotel?

Inn is the title of ancient hotel, which appeared to meet the needs of people going out for an outing or long-distance travel.

history

At that time, people mainly traveled by foot or carriage, so inns mainly appeared beside roads or post stations.

At first, the inn only provided basic accommodation, so that passengers could have a place to stay and did not provide entertainment services. In the era of great navigation, the scale of inns began to expand, and some inns have been able to provide more than 30 rooms, including wine cellar, pantry and kitchen, to meet more needs of guests. In addition, the environment has begun to improve. There are gardens and lawns next to the inn, and there are banquet halls and dance halls inside, which are moving towards modernization.

However, no matter how it changes, most of the buildings in the inn are log (wood) buildings, which is a unique image of the inn in people's minds. But on the whole, the reputation of ancient inns is very poor, and they are often considered as low-level industries for people to make a living. The inn is also unsafe, and things outside the law often happen, such as robbery, fighting, gambling and so on.

In modern times, inns began to be replaced by group hotels, because the service quality and accommodation environment of modern hotels were very high, and ancient inns could not compete with them, and disappeared in the long river of history.

Contemporary evolution

China's tourism industry is one of the earliest open industries in the reform and opening up. At that time, people's cognition of tourism was travel agencies and star-rated hotels. Since the International Youth Hostel 1998 entered China, the words "hostel" and "inn" have gradually appeared in people's field of vision. Nowadays, for self-help tourists, "inn" has become an indispensable type of accommodation.

Inn-as the physical carrier of "vacation", it will provide more than just the function of "living". Stay in different inns and experience the freshness, relaxation, stretch, tranquility and peace of "staying elsewhere".

This kind of life is completely different from daily life and is "abnormal"; It is not a temporary residence objectively needed for sightseeing or business trip, but a way of life and self-cultivation that people subjectively want to experience and choose. Under this premise, "living" is actually a weakened function. The aura, artistic conception and atmosphere of the inn are all elements that can make people stretch physically and mentally and are different from the feelings of daily life. This is its greatest significance.
