Driving techniques are a fundamental aspect of the transportation sector, influencing both the operational efficiency of transportation systems and the broader social and cultural landscape. In ancient China, transportation systems displayed distinct characteristics shaped by the terrain and cultural diversity. The development of ancient driving techniques was not only a means of mastering space but also a reflection of social systems, technological advancements, and the progression of civilization. Through in-depth research on these techniques, researchers can gain insights into the development context of ancient society and understand the profound impact of its transportation system on cultural exchanges and social evolution. By thoroughly understanding their development and impact, it reveals the evolution trajectory of the ancient social transportation system and triggers reflections on their far-reaching influence on society, culture, and technology. Meanwhile, this paper will introduce the types of ancient transportation vehicles, the skill requirements, and the training methods of drivers.
