D
Modern travellers enjoy safe, comfortable transportation from high-speed trains to planes. We also have lots of information to stay updated on our journey. But in history, travel was different. Let’s explore ancient China. What was travelling like back then?

Travel in control
Before the Song dynasty, the country strictly controlled the movement of common people. Commerce(商业) began to appear in the Song dynasty, and the growing wealth led to the rise of an early tourism industry.
However, this golden period ended. Zhu Yuanzhang, the ruler of the Ming dynasty, renewed(重新开始) strict travel control. Movement was still common if it was managed by the country. The government would send soldiers and craftsmen wherever they were needed, and everything was planned before.
After the Ming dynasty, the country allowed more freedom for people to travel on their own.
Danger on the road
Ancient travel was very dangerous. People worried about the many dangers they could face on their journeys.
For example, distances(距离) didn’t often stay the same over time—“Ten li” in one place might be different from “ten li” in another. This could be a big problem. Failing to understand the distance could leave travellers alone in faraway areas with no hotels around. This was very dangerous for single travellers.
Travel guides also warned readers about dangerous roads and areas to avoid. Theft and robbery were also common on the road. In short, it was very dangerous out there.
Ancient Travelogues(旅行日志)
We’re not short of travel records from ancient people. School textbooks often include famous articles like “Eight Records of Excursions in Yongzhou(《永州八记》)” “An Account of the Old Drunkard’s Pavilion(《醉翁亭记》)” and “Night Tour of Chengtian Temple(《记承天寺夜游》)”. All of them come from travels.
Writers paid more attention to sights and feelings instead of detailed travel travelogues. However, these records show their personal interests, giving us a clear look into ancient daily life.
Much like how we take holiday photos today, ancient people added drawings to their travelogues. In the Ming dynasty, Wang Shizhen, an officer, travelled from Taicang to Beijing. He brought a painter who made drawings for each stop. They created 30 to 40 paintings that are still kept today. These drawings give us valuable knowledge.
