Did ancient people often travel? Did ancient people often travel?

1. Yes, ancient people also traveled frequently, but they belonged to the upper class of society.

2. "The weather is new on March 3rd, and there are many beauties by the water in Chang'an." The poet Du Fu's "Beautiful People" describes the scene of officials and ladies on a spring outing. "Beautiful women pick up the greenery and ask each other in spring, and immortal lovers are in the same boat late at night." His "Autumn Xing" once again described this grand occasion. "Pink clouds and red ribbons and lotus root silk skirts, walking on the green island to scavenge waste." This is also reflected in Li He's "Ballad of Heaven". "Where are the spring doves singing in the gentle rain?" Wei Yingwu wrote about his travels in "Eastern Suburbs".

3. "May I ask where the restaurant is? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village in the distance." This is a poem about an outing during the Qingming Festival.

"The trees on the horizon are like shepherd's purses, and the islands by the river are like the moon." Meng Haoran's "Autumn Climb Orchid Mountain to Send Zhang Wu", "I know from afar that my brothers are climbing high, and there is one less person planting dogwoods everywhere." Wang Wei's "September 9" "Reminiscences of Shandong Brothers", "The wild geese are flying in the autumn shadow on the river, and the guests are carrying pots on the green." Du Mu's "Climbing the Mountain in Nine Days" all wrote about the customs of traveling during the Double Ninth Festival.

4. Since official travel was required before the imperial examination, there were many poems describing spring outings and autumn outings in the Tang and Song dynasties. There are also many travel notes written by various dynasties! Aren't Liu Zongyuan's "Little Rock Pond" and Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunken Old Pavilion" both famous works? In the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of eight-legged essays reduced the number of scholars traveling.

5. Travel was a status symbol in ancient times, and ordinary people had no share.
