Paragraph One: According to the record in the
inscriptions(题字,碑铭), ancient China Post originated in the Yin-Shang Dynasty,
prosperous (繁荣)in the Zhou Dynasty, popular in the Spring-Autumn and the Warring
States Periods (770-221 B. C). Confucius said, "The propagation (传播) of moral is
as rapid as post delivery", which described the popularity of the
post.Paragraph Two: Ancient Chinese post system was the
special communication organization for govern ment, which only delivered
official documents and not private letters. Public communication which was
organized by individuals developed slowly. By the coddle stage of Ming Dynasty,
with the progress of productive forces and the increase of the requirements for
public communication, private-owned post offices were created. By late Qing, the
number of private owned post offices had exceeded several thousands, forming
their own communication network, which became the public communication
organization in parallel with official posts.Paragraph Three:
The spread of modem post to China appeared in the form of so called "Guest
Post", which was the post organization set up by western powers which violated
(侵犯) Chinese sovereignty (主权). The invasion of "Guest Post" to China originated
from the trading of western merchants in China after the discovery of shipping
line on seas.Paragraph Four: After the founding of the
People’s Republic of China in 1949, China Post entered a new development period.
China Post was created on the basis of the post in the liberated area and the
Chinese Postal Administration which had been taken over and transformed. After
the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was founded, it undertook to
establish new management system, restore and develop postal network, unify the
service categories and the standards of postage, pose the service principle as
Speed, Accuracy, Security and Convenience, and establish and perfect the
business management system. By doing so, the postal cause in China gained an
initial development.Paragraph Five: In the early 1960s, with
the vigorous upsurge (高潮、上升) of the national independence movement in Africa,
China established direct postal relations with many newly independent African
countries. By the end of 1965, 77 countries and regions in all the continents of
the world had established the direct postal relations with China, which was a
two time increase compared to that of 26 in 1949. African countries increased
from 2 to 18. Now match each paragraph to the appropriate
