The story of modern information transmission

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that a communication agency dedicated to delivering letters to the people appeared-Minxin Sichuan Reclamation Bureau. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the immigrants who moved to Xiaogan Township, Macheng County, Hubei Province, because they missed their hometown, agreed to elect their fellow villagers to return home several times a year and bring souvenirs and letters back and forth. Over time, a fixed organization named "Maxiang Covenant" was established. Later, a professional People's Information Bureau was established.

Postal communication played a certain progressive role in frontier defense and economic and cultural exchanges, and became the main form of information transmission in ancient China. Over the years, those ancient ways of information transmission have been replaced by modern convenient and fast communication methods.
