What does the inn mean?

An inn refers to a poorly equipped hotel. In the past, some of them were used by merchants to stack goods and handle transshipment.

Inn is the title of ancient hotel. People will find places to stay when they go out for a long trip, and those who provide these places for people to stay temporarily are called inns. It is to meet people's needs for outing or long-distance travel.

For example, Tongfu Inn in Wulin legend is a good example. Inn is a more literary name for modern people, and it is also to blend the atmosphere of some places. For example, those tourist cities with ancient flavor, such as Jianshui ancient city in Yunnan and some old cities in Lhasa, are called inns.

Now the word inn has changed from a real thing to a synonym for gathering feet. Now online chat rooms or forums are also called inns.

The evolution of inn

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.

As the physical carrier of "vacation", the inn 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 living and recuperation 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.
