What does Hongling Express mean?

Hong Ling's urgent envoy is an effective way to transmit documents and express opinions in ancient times. Hong Ling refers to a kind of Yanling, because it is soft, connected with wings, and can spread its wings and fly at high speed, so it has the meaning of conveying news. An urgent messenger refers to a person who delivers information. In ancient times, dispatch was very important, which required not only agility, but also proficiency in writing, etiquette, loyalty and wit.

Hong Ling's emissaries have played an important role in history, the most famous of which is in the Order of Seeking Talents. In the Tang Dynasty, an official named Zhang Jiuling suggested to the emperor to recruit talents, but because the documents were tampered with, the emperor misunderstood that it was framed, so he ordered Zhang Jiuling to be executed. Then, a messenger from Hongling told the emperor the truth in a thrilling way, and finally Zhang Jiuling was rehabilitated.

Today's express delivery can be said to be a modern version of Hongling Express. With the development of economy and the advancement of informatization in countries all over the world, the express delivery business is becoming more and more mature. Express companies deliver goods or documents to their destinations by high-speed mail, which not only meets the needs of consumers for fast delivery, but also provides important support for e-commerce and various industries and becomes an important force to promote economic development.
