明清时期,辽东半岛地区的驿路交通与当地海运的兴衰有着密切的关系。明洪武初年,蒙元残余势力不时侵扰辽西地区,入辽陆路交通故此中断。登辽海路遂成为明朝中央政府前往东北地区的唯一通道,以至与其相接的辽东半岛地区交通功能凸显,沿线驿递林立。永乐以降,伴随明廷迁都北京,经山海关入辽的驿路地位日渐上升,加之大规模海运饷辽的终止,辽东半岛地区的交通功能显著下降。入清以后,由于边疆格局的演变和政府厉行海禁的影响,屡经修筑的山海关沿线驿路完全取代了登辽海路,成为中原内地入辽最主要的交通干道。这使得辽东半岛地区交通地位大为衰落,原有驿站全部遭到裁汰,沿线道路不再纳入国家驿路体系之中。 Ming and Qing Dynasties, Liaodong Peninsula area of ​​the post road traffic and the rise and fall of the local shipping are closely related. In the early years of Ming Hongwu, remnant forces of the Mongolian Yuan invaded the western Liaoning area from time to time and the traffic on the Lu’iao land was interrupted. Dengliaohai Road then became the Ming Dynasty Central Government to the northeast region’s only access, and its adjoining Liaodong Peninsula region traffic highlights, along the post there. With the gradual rise of Yongle and the relocation of capital Ming Ting to Beijing, the post of the post at Shanhaiguan into the Liao Dynasty has been on the rise. Coupled with the termination of the large scale shipping bill, the transportation function in the Liaodong Peninsula has been significantly reduced. After the Qing Dynasty was settled, the postal roads along the Shanhaiguan Highway, which have been repeatedly constructed, completely replaced Dengliaohai Road due to the evolution of the frontier pattern and the strict ban on the sea by the government, thus becoming the most important trunk road leading to the hinterland of the Central Plains. This makes the Liaodong Peninsula area greatly decline in traffic status, all of the original Inn have been eliminated along the road is no longer included in the national post system.
