Postal city is named after the origin of the city. The ancient Zhumadian was a place where ancient officials stopped to rest and change horses. It is also the place where officials send official documents and letters, because they have to change the crossing, rest and express horses. It's just a post office.
In the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei loved litchi. Every year when litchi is ripe, she will send someone to the south to pick it and send it back. It is reported that Zhumadian is the only place to pass and the main road. Knights change horses in Zhumadian before moving forward. So it is called Zhumadian, and Zhumadian is also called Houcheng.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao launched Battle of Red Cliffs, and Zhumadian was Cao Cao's reserve granary, where the army and horses were kept in free range and cultivated land.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols in Hengge immediately established a huge multi-ethnic unified empire across Europe and Asia, and had a special liking for horses.
In order to strengthen communication, a post road transportation network was established throughout the country, and119 post stations were set up, with about 45,000 post horses, which strictly ruled the whole empire.
At that time, Runing Prefecture was already the first-class state capital of China, and envoys kept coming and going. With the increase of military and political letters, 1293, the Yuan government was invited by Bo Yan, an official of Runing House, to set up a post station in Ramie Village (now the old street of Yicheng District), 30 kilometers west of Runing House, with 15 healthy horses. In Mongolian, standing red means "post station". Ramie Village (now the old street) formally established a postal building.
