作为晚清海关尝试以新式邮政方式收寄华人信件的机构——华洋书信馆,在初期的冬季邮件陆运中便遭遇邮件被扣及邮差被逐的事故。究其原因,乃为主办者违反清廷规制所致,但其背后又牵涉清廷官员对待洋务的不同态度、以及在华洋人以清朝官员身份举办新政时的矛盾与挫折。在这一普通事件的背后,折射出传统制度与新式机构的冲突及磨合。

As a late-Qing customs try to send mail to the Chinese new postal mail agencies - Hua Yang Library, in the initial winter mail land will be subject to the mail detained and the postman deported accident. The reason for this is that the organizers violated the Qing court’s rules. However, it also involved different attitudes of the Qing court officials toward the Westernization Administration and contradictions and setbacks when the foreigners held the New Deal as an official of the Qing Dynasty. Behind this common incident, it reflects the conflict and the running-in between the traditional system and the new institutions.
