The earliest human travel began in

Since the birth of human beings, they are always not satisfied with the constraints of the surrounding environment, and always try to constantly expand their scope of activities and living space, thus broadening their horizons; At the same time, forced by floods, fires, droughts, earthquakes and other natural disasters, primitive people began to migrate repeatedly. In a sense, this began the earliest trip in human history. Archaeologists in China once discovered 69 densely populated village sites in the Neolithic Yangshao culture period (about 5,-7, years ago) in Sanmenxia. After research, it was determined that they were not built in the same period, but the result of repeated migration by a primitive tribe. In The Book of Songs "Elegance", it is also described that Gong Liu, the leader of the ancient Zhou clan, led his clan to migrate from Tai (within the territory of Wugong in Shaanxi) to the land (around Chenxian and Liyi in Shaanxi), cultivate and settle down in the late Xia Dynasty. The purpose of this kind of migration is to seek a suitable living environment, which is actually a kind of travel with a specific meaning. Because of the long history of ancient tourism and travel in China, words used to express the meaning of tourism and travel came into being very early in China characters. For example, it is in Zhouyi Guangua? The light of viewing the country? The words, this is later? Sightseeing? The origin of the word is actually the meaning of tourism. The role of sightseeing is fully affirmed in Zhouyi Guangua, saying:? Popular on the ground, watch. The late king established religion by observing the people in the province. ? It means: the gentle wind blows on the ground, and everything is widely influenced. This is probably the reason why the legendary Yao Shunyu first king took pains to cruise the world. The content of Zhouyi Guangua is related to travel and tourism activities, and makes a detailed analysis of various situations in travel and tourism activities. The hexagrams say:? Lu Zhenji? As long as you are modest and upright when traveling, you can get good luck. Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty wrote when commenting on Zhouyi. Traveler, the name of guest residence, the name of detention; Losing one's home and living in another place is a journey? . This is a more profound exposition of the book of changes? View? Word and? Travel? The meaning of the word indicates that in a very early time, our ancestors knew that tourism refers to people leaving their settled places to go sightseeing in other places, and they can get certain material and spiritual satisfaction, which has a lot in common with the concept of modern tourism. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Shen Yue, a famous poet in Liang Dynasty, wrote in a poem entitled "What a sad trip". Tourism attracts tourists in spring, and spring attracts tourists? . This is known so far? Travel? The first appearance of the word in China's classics. In the Tang dynasty, with the vigorous development of social tourism activities, Travel? The word began to be widely used. Like Wei Yingwu's? Travel to China, and nothing will happen in my hometown? ; Bai Juyi's? River and sea drift * * * tourism, a statue of exhortation to disperse poverty? Wait. They fully reflect the long history of tourism in China. It can be said that tourism is an important part of China's ancient civilization. Strictly speaking, there is a difference between traveling and traveling. What is the focus of the trip? Ok? Words, people are going to pass? Ok? To carry out political, religious, academic, business and other activities, sightseeing is not its main purpose; And the focus of tourism is on? Swim? Word, sightseeing is its ultimate goal. The former is like Fa Xian in Jin Dynasty, Xuanzang in Tang Dynasty and Zheng He in Ming Dynasty. The latter are Xie Lingyun in Jin Dynasty, Tang Bohu in Ming Dynasty and Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty. But on the other hand, travel and tourism are closely related: do you want to? Swim? , is it? Ok? , without a certain? Ok? It is impossible to achieve the purpose of sightseeing; And even if traveling is for political, religious, business and other purposes, it is always inevitable to visit along the way during the trek. Therefore, it is often difficult for people to clearly distinguish between tourism and travel.
