近代中国邮政与国家符号生产

Post in modern China and the production of national symbols

近代中国邮政按照英美邮政体系建立起来后,通过国家权力裁撤了驿站、民信局和客邮,实现了邮权的独立与统一,又通过邮政网点和邮票等方式扩大和强化民众对国家的认知,为民众对民族国家的想象与建构提供了最广泛的联系网络和最便捷的交往通道,把民众的邮政需求纳入国家认同的集体行动逻辑。近代中国邮政在生产国家符号的同时,自身也变成国家符号之一。

After modern China Post was established in accordance with the British and American postal system,it abolished post stations,civil postal office and foreign post through state power,realizing the independence and unity of postal rights,and expanded and strengthened people's understanding of the country through postal outlets and stamps,providing the broadest network of contacts and the most convenient communication channel for people's imagination and construction of the nation and country,The postal needs of the people should be incorporated into the collective action logic of national identity.In modern times,while producing national symbols,China Post itself became one of the national symbols.
