From which dynasty did the earliest communication records in China come?

Modern communication mode

(1) by mail

On the basis of physical delivery, although fewer and fewer people write letters now, the simpler and truer, the simpler and truer. Letters are the simplest and purest way to transmit information, not to mention the overflow and leakage of information caused by too fast transmission.

(2) telephone

Telephone can be divided into fixed telephone, mobile telephone and network telephone, and its transmission mode is basically the same as that of network, but the difference from network mode is that telephone can not directly transmit words and pictures, and the difference from postal mode is that it can not transmit physical objects.

(3) Fax

Fax is the fastest-growing non-telephone telecommunication service in recent twenty years. Still images recorded on paper, such as words, charts, photos, etc. , scanned and converted into electrical signals, and transmitted to the destination through various channels. At the receiving end, through a series of inverse transformation processes, a communication method similar to sending the original is obtained, which is called fax.
