In a few days, the Spring Festival holiday will open, and according to the announcement arrangement, there will be a holiday from February 10th to 17th, a total of 8 days.
8 days of holiday (of course, it is superimposed, and the statutory holiday of the Spring Festival is 3 days), is it long or short? I made a comparison between China and the rest of the world:
Let's talk about our surroundings first, the Spring Festival in South Korea, called "Old Zheng", is the same day as our Spring Festival, but they only celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, the New Year.
I started to work on the second and third days of junior high school, which was far less than our Spring Festival holiday.
Japanese New Year refers to the period from January 1 to January 3 of the Gregorian calendar, which is equivalent to our Spring Festival and is the most important festival of the year. Japan's New Year's holiday lasts from December 29 to January 3, a total of 6 days, and similar to our compensatory holidays, the Japanese call them "consecutive holidays", that is, after the normal holidays are over, the weekends are linked to the holidays to make them longer. It seems to be roughly the same as our Spring Festival holiday.
The time of Tet in Vietnam is the same as ours, and it is also an important festival for Vietnamese people. According to the provisions of Vietnam's labor law, Vietnam has a four-day holiday for Tet Festival. They are: Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu.
First, the beginning. The second and third days of the Lunar New Year are one day longer than our statutory holiday, but if we add the compensatory holiday, the holiday will be slightly longer.
Christmas in most Western countries is the equivalent of our Chinese New Year. Christmas is the day to commemorate the birth of the Savior, Jesus, so this holy day is celebrated on December 25th. In the United States, Christmas is a national holiday, one and a half days long, closed on the afternoon of December 24 and the whole day on December 25. The United States also attaches great importance to New Year's Day, so the two holidays are usually closed together in the United States. The Christmas and New Year's Day holidays are from December 22 to January 5. It is half a month, but except for the statutory two days of December 25 and January 1, the others are obtained through the annual leave of work, which is longer than our Spring Festival holiday.
Russian holidays are from January 1 to January 10 (most companies start on December 22).
The official holidays during Christmas in the UK are usually December 25 and December 26, the day after Christmas and Christmas Day, known as the "Christmas holiday".
On the whole, the statutory holidays of major festivals in foreign countries are relatively short, and the longer holidays are obtained by superimposing annual leave, and China's paid annual leave and the Spring Festival are not the same holiday, paid annual leave is annual leave, and the Spring Festival is the Spring Festival, so that when converted, our Spring Festival holiday is really long.
Let's go back and look at the ancient times of our country. The problem of the Spring Festival holiday in ancient times was mainly aimed at those at that time. Because in addition to ** is a public office, there are holidays. Others don't have a vacation at all. Let's take a look at how the Spring Festival was held during the Spring Festival in ancient times.
There are very few documents that record the vacation system before the Han Dynasty, let's look at the Western Han Dynasty, the Spring Festival should be more than a week, which is about the same as the current holiday time.
There are clear records in the Tang Dynasty, for example, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once specially promulgated the "Fake Ning Order" for the holiday, which clearly stipulates that "Yuan Zheng and the winter solstice will each be given seven days off." Among them, "Yuanzheng" refers to the first day of the first lunar month, that is, the Spring Festival is also a one-week holiday.
The Spring Festival holiday in the Song Dynasty was the same as in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a seven-day holiday.
Ming DynastyThe Spring Festival holiday was a little miserable, and during the Hongwu period (during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign), the Spring Festival holiday was also 3-4 days off, shrinking!
Many of the systems of the Qing Dynasty basically followed the Ming Dynasty, but the Spring Festival holiday was additionally extended, and a sealing system was introduced for this purpose.
Qing ** regulations: all official seals during the Spring Festival holiday must be sealed, the time of the seal is about December 20 every year, and then the unified seal is opened after the holiday, and the time of the opening of the seal is about 20 days of the first month, so that the Qing Dynasty ** New Year's holiday time is about one month. From the seal to the seal, this is the most lively day of the Qing Dynasty, a seal, it means that the year's official work is over, the ** people can't work if they want to, and they have to wait until next year to open the seal.
In this comparison, from ancient times to the present, our traditional festival Spring Festival, the holiday is about seven days a week, which not only satisfies the reunion of relatives, but also satisfies visiting relatives and friends; Connect with your feelings and relax at the same time.
