The Study Of The Qin And Han Dynasty Traveling

The Qin and Han Dynasty was the time when our multinational country formed and consolidated. During that time, China had vast territory, stable politics, boomed economics, bright culture, and the science and technology was advanced. 221 B.C., Qin Shihuang finished the Warring States'more than 200 years fission to establish a unified regime, broken " the different Chinese acres, different axles, the different laws, the different clothes , different languages, the different writings", and established the first unified multi-nationalities' feudal country. In order to strengthen the centralization and the consolidated feudal rule, Qin Shihuang implemented the same territory, the same government official system, the same textbook, the same axles, the same system, the same law, and the same behavior rules". At the beginning of the Han, the ruling class adopted'rests and strengthen'policy to promote the economical development. Till Martial emperor of Han dynasty, "all granaries full and the government has enough wealth. There are too much money to use and hard to count .Grains in Taicang decay because they are too many. The average persons have horses, many in groups in the fields .People guarding the door also eat the fine good ".The Qin and Han Dynasty already formed the transport network passing through the entire dominant region .Different roads, as well as the north and south Silk Road ,had been built, and this caused to form a network which took the capital as the center, radiated in all directions; During the Qin and Han Dynasty ,water transportation also had a bigger development. Qin excavated the Ling Ditch connected the Yangtze River and the Zhujiang River. Han Dynasty opened the Wei ditch, the Yang ditch, Bian ditch and so on, especially the sea communication, had achieved a brand-new altitude. The transportation convenience caused the common people no longer to satisfy staying at the book dwelling, and they launched the gigantic and far travel. Thereupon, under this social environment, the Qin and Han Dynasty travelers displayed a kind of unprecedented situation. Compared to the Chun Qiu Period's monotonously tasteless traveling, studies away from home, the solicit, the trade route activity and so on, the Qin and Han Dynasty travelers travel in diverse forms, such as the emperors go on patrol, studies away from home, serves as an official away from home, the science inspection travel, anxious trade route., Zhang Qian, Ban Chao's diplomatic exploration, also religious travel, the lower-level working people's folk custom holiday and so on. The travel scope was broader, and formed a special prevailing custom.As a result of the economic and political system, the time and energy and other factors, main body of the Qin and Han Dynasty travelers were ruling class like Emperors, the aristocrats, the bureaucrats, the writers as well as some alchemists, clergies. They travel for inspections, for official advancement, for huge profits, most of them opened the calendar to be far, traveling around the world. But, the opportunity of the lower populace which go on a journey is actually few, only in March three, the double ninth festival and other several important holidays and this manifests that during the Qin and Han Dynasty, the characteristics is that the ruling class like emperors go out for pleasure. Moreover, no matter Qin emperor and Han Wu emperor frequently go on a journey, Zhang Qian, Ban Chao's diplomatic travel , or Sima Qian "read millions of books and walk millions of miles", all presents the traveling style of development, conquer and progress. They smug, looking light of the myriad things, to be self-confident, and climes mountains ,go across the rives, explore dangers, and all of these encourage a sprit of conquering and aggressive development to the outside world, displaying a kind of specially grand vigorous manner.During the Qin and Han Dynasty, people had the different thinking of "traveling" and created a new word'view of traveling'which presents the development of traveling. That's from the utilitarian goal of pure bluffs and bluster, or promotion, to the transformation of a way in which molds a person's temperament. It can broaden one's outlook, grow one's experience; stimulate inspiration, promote the literary talent; and also purify one's soul, practices moral culture and so on. The appearance of new traveling view, enormously enhanced the overall thought level of " traveling", specially the last years of Eastern Han Dynasty :"the age is less than one hundred, but often cherishes thousand- years old of sorrow. Daytime is short and the painstaking night is long, why not hold the candle to travel! For happy works as prompt, why wait for so long?" Till Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties, this prompt delight thought rapidly obtains the echo and the response, just like the spatial valley to carry over sound, and further developed, thus formed trend of Wei Jin "surpass the Confucian logos and rely on nature" and enjoy the scenery ramble.The writer has the purpose that ,through the introduction of the Qin and Han Dynasty traveling , make it clear to all what's the overall feature of the Qin and Han Dynasty traveling.
