I believe many people have seen a recent news, that is, the National Academy of Social Sciences has issued a green paper, suggesting that by 2030, China can work four days a week and have three days off. There are such good things in the world. Are your friends who are still at work already flooded? Since this is such a good thing, is this 12 year series settled? Of course, this is only a suggestion for the time being, but it has already explained this trend in the future.

Then, I don't know if you ever thought about it. What is the work and rest system in China in history? Let's take a look at Bian Xiao!

I don't know if you realize that in our country, the weekend is not long, and it has only been more than 20 years now. So, in the feudal society of China for thousands of years, how did people rest?

In fact, because China was an agricultural society in ancient times, it was also a big agricultural country, so the largest number of farmers were generally busy when they were farming, and they were idle in winter, but there was no specific rest time, but generally speaking, when they could not do farm work, they were rest time, such as at night, bad weather and winter.

But there are still some people in our country. They are public officials who work for the country. They have a fixed rest time. According to records, the Han Dynasty stipulated for the first time that they should have a rest every five days. Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court changed to rest every ten days. The Song Dynasty maintained the rest system of the Tang Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the ten-rest system was abolished directly. The same is true in the early Ming Dynasty. Later, it was changed to some important festivals, such as winter solstice, New Year and Lantern Festival. You can rest these days. The Qing dynasty inherited this system from the Ming dynasty and continued until the end of the Qing dynasty.

The Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty advocated some western ideas and practices, so China was introduced on Sunday. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Qing government stipulated the weekly system in the articles of association promulgated for schools, and began to implement it in the subsequent reform of government institutions. After entering the Republic of China, we began to use the solar calendar, and made some meaningful festivals according to the solar calendar, such as New Year's Day and Labor Day. When People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, it was stipulated to work six days a week and take a day off.

The weekend began in the 1990s. Our country learned that some major countries in the world work 40 hours a week, and then began the reform of the domestic work and rest system. Since then, we have started the weekend system in China.
