Which dynasty had the most holidays in ancient times?

In ancient China, there were no fewer holidays than now, which many people have never heard of. But there are so many dynasties in China, which dynasty has the longest holiday? According to relevant research by historians, the Tang Dynasty was the most willing to take a long vacation. Not only did you take a seven-day long vacation, but the accumulated vacation time will exceed 50 days every year.

There was a regular vacation system for civil servants in the pre-Qin or Qin dynasties. Liu bang set up a vacation system when he was the director of the pavilion, and he also inherited this system when the Western Han Dynasty was founded. However, there are few holidays in the Western Han Dynasty, and there are only two festivals in the Western Han Dynasty: the solstice in winter and the solstice in summer.

Besides regular holidays, there are also regular public holidays, which are equivalent to today's Sunday. There was a five-day holiday in the Han Dynasty, because the managers at that time lived in the office, and there was no public bathroom in the office, so the public holiday was also called a bath break, which means to take a vacation and go back to take a bath.

There are also related records in Zi Tong Zhi Jian, and all ministers who hold office in the palace have to take a break by rotation. Vacations in the Southern and Northern Dynasties were not particularly humanized. Only ministers can go home, and those newly appointed officials can only face it bravely.

In the Tang Dynasty, the vacation system took on a new look. The 10-day official rest system is clearly defined. When it comes to vacations, all officials, from the imperial court to the county government below, will stop working instead of taking turns to rest as in the past. Even if some officials have a rest, the administrative system still works.

Although it was not open to the public during the break in the Tang Dynasty, there were also people on duty to deal with emergencies. But these people on duty are all new colleagues. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the state stipulated the most holidays. In the Tang Dynasty, the traditional seasons were changed, and holidays other than public holidays were greatly increased.
