中国在汉朝时期官员的休息日叫休沐。汉律规定官员每过5日休一沐,“沐”就是休息的意思。到了唐代,改为10日放一次假,即每月放假3天,分上旬、中旬、下旬,当时叫做上浣、中浣、下浣。“浣”是洗身洗头的意思。明朝时,又出现了另一种节假日,据《古今事务考》记载:国朝正旦放假5日 During the rest of the Han dynasty, officials called Hugh Mu. Han law stipulates that every official off every 5 days Mu, “Mu” is the meaning of rest. To the Tang Dynasty, instead of putting a holiday on the 10th, that is, three days a month holiday, in early, mid, late, was called on Huan, Huan, under Huan. “Huan” is the meaning of wash your hair. Ming Dynasty, there have been another holiday, according to “ancient and modern affairs test” records: National Day holiday on the 5th holiday
