Did ancient Chinese people have express delivery(快递)?
In ancient China,people used “youyi(邮驿)” to send news and letters.Only officials(官员)could use youyi.Postmen would deliver things by horse or boat.Sometimes they would even go on foot.
Besides news and letters,the postmen also sent fruit.You may have heard the story of Yang Yuhuan and her lychees.
Yang was a Tang emperor's(皇帝)favorite beauty.She liked eating lychees.To make her happy,the emperor asked postmen to send her fresh lychees from southern China to Chang'an(today's Xi'an).
Postmen would put the fresh lychees in a bamboo container(竹筒).They then rode their horses as fast as they could.The fruit would usually reach Chang'an in about three days.It was real express delivery!
