Road of Prosperity: A modern "courier station" along the Silk Raod

The delivery system of ancient China is a comprehensive system integrating functions such as information transmission, cargo transportation and military dispatching. It has a history of 3,000 years. The stations were spaced 20 kilometers apart. For ordinary official documents, the messenger would rest for a day after arriving at the courier station, and then set out again the next day to deliver it to the next station. For urgent documents, the messenger would deliver them to the end of the line without wasting any time.

With the changes of the times, the form of the delivery system is constantly updated, but the ancient delivery system has played an important role in the development of modern postal and express delivery systems.

Nowadays, you can enjoy the products from all over the world without leaving home.
