The word tourism originated from the earliest time.

As early as the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, people began to pay attention to the types of travel. People in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties used the word "travel" to refer to the most active kind of travel at that time-business travel. In the Book of Changes, a kind of divination specifically aimed at merchants is called "travel" divination.

The word "brigade" is used for business travel. First of all, it means walking. Second, it is often called "Lu" by the ancients. The word "brigade" was associated with the word "land" and became the proper name of commercial tourism at that time.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the classification of travel became clearer. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, people not only followed the sayings of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, but also called it a journey of business travel, military service, marriage, tourism and migration. In particular, they introduced the concept of modern tourism into the tourism history of China.
