The amount of information transmitted is large, the information is diversified, the transmission speed is extremely fast, and it is not subject to geographical barriers.

China was one of the first countries in the world to establish an organized transmission information system. As early as the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, information transmission was recorded. Passing by horse is called a post pass, which is an early organized form of communication.

Located in the square of Jiayuguan railway station, the "post envoy" sculpture, it is taken from the Jiayuguan Wei and Jin mural tombs, the post envoy holds a simple paper, the post horse is four-legged in the air, and the speed is fast. In 1982, the First Congress of the All-China Philatelic Federation was used as a theme pattern for small stamps, which shows that Jiayuguan is one of the birthplaces of China's information culture.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, a complete set of post transmission systems was formed. Especially in the Han Dynasty, the documents transmitted were divided into grades, and the documents of different grades should be transmitted by special personnel and horses in accordance with the prescribed order and time. The sending and receiving of these documents must be registered, and the time should be indicated to clarify the responsibility.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the post industry developed unprecedentedly. The official postal transportation line of the Tang Dynasty took the capital Chang'an as the center, radiated to the four directions, and went directly to the border area, with a post station roughly 30 miles. According to the records of the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty, there were 1,639 post stations in the country at its peak, with more than 20,000 people specializing in post services, including 17,000 post soldiers.

The post post is divided into three types: land post, water post and waterway merger, and each post station is equipped with a post house, equipped with a post horse, a post donkey, a post boat and a post field.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were also clear regulations on the itinerary of the post post, and the land post fast horse walked 6 posts a day, that is, 180 miles, and then 300 miles a day, and the fastest required 500 miles a day; Walkers travel 50 miles a day; When sailing against the current, the river travels 40 miles, the river travels 50 miles, and the other 60 miles; When going down the river, it is always 100 to 150 miles. The poet Cen Shen wrote in the poem "The Judge of the Character on the Way to Longshan at the First Stage" that "one post passes through one post, and the post rides like a stream of stars; Pingming sent Xianyang, curtain and Longshantou". Here he compares the stagecoach to a shooting star.

On November 9, the 14th year of Tianbao, An Lushan rebelled in Fanyang. At that time, Tang Xuanzong was in Huaqing Palace, and the two places were separated by three thousand miles, and Tang Xuanzong knew the news within 6 days, and the transmission speed reached 500 miles per day. It can be seen that the organization and speed of post communication in the Tang Dynasty have reached a very high level.

In the Song Dynasty, all official documents and letters were collectively referred to as "delivery", and "express delivery shops" appeared. There is a copper bell tied to the collar of the post horse of the express delivery, and when galloping on the road, the bell is ringed during the day, and the fire is raised at night, and the person who is killed is not responsible. Shop for horses, number of shops for people, rain or shine, day and night.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, the anti-gold general, was forcibly recalled to Lin'an from the front line by Song Gaozong with twelve gold medals.

The story of kite communication.

Legend has it that as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu national craftsman Gong Yi Pan (i.e. Lu Ban) had imitated the shape of the bird, "cut the bamboo and wood to think that the magpie, into and fly it, three days do not fall", this kind of bamboo and wood as the material to fly "wood magpie", is the predecessor of the kite. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun invented papermaking, and people used bamboo strips to make frames, and then used paper paste, which became "paper kites". In the five dynasties, when people were making paper kites, they tied a bamboo whistle to it, and the wind blew the bamboo whistle, and the sound was like a kite, from which the word "kite" came.

The original kite was made for military purposes, and its main use was for military reconnaissance, or to transmit information and military intelligence. After the Tang Dynasty, kites gradually became a kind of entertainment toy and spread among the people.

There are many examples of the use of kites in military history. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when Chu and Han fought, Liu Bang besieged Xiang Yu in the wall, Han Xin suggested to Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, to make a large kite with silk silk bamboo and wood, install a bamboo whistle on it, and put it over the Chu camp at night, making a whining sound, and at the same time the Han army sang Chu songs on the ground, causing the Chu army's homesickness, thereby disintegrating the morale of the Chu army and winning the war.

1.After the Greeks defeated the Persian army at Marathon, they sent a runner back to the city to report the victory, and this man kept running in order to let people know the news of the victory as soon as possible, and brought the good news to the people who expected it at the first time, but he himself died of exhaustion. This is where marathon running comes in.

2.When hunting in Shanglinyuan, he shot a wild goose, and a letter written on silk was tied to his foot, which said that Su Wu was not dead, but in a Daze. The Han envoy was very happy when he heard this, so he rebuked Shan Yu according to Chang Hui's words.

Shan Yu was surprised when he heard it, but he couldn't deny it, so he had to put Su Wu back.

In ancient times, beacon fires were used to transmit information; use of floating objects in rivers to transmit information; carrier pigeons, etc.
