Why do you have seven days off on National Day?

Seven days off on National Day is to promote the "holiday economy".

1999 Since the National Day holiday, the holiday time of National Day, Spring Festival and Labor Day has been uniformly adjusted. There are two weekends and four legal holidays before and after the mobile holiday, totaling seven days. Since then, after the implementation of this holiday system, the holidays during these three festivals are called "long holidays", which usually begin with the holiday name.

In 2008, the new edition of National Festival and Memorial Day came into effect. Two golden weeks, Spring Festival and National Day, were retained, and May Day was changed into a small holiday, adding three small holidays, namely Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The formulation of "long vacation" is mainly to promote "holiday economy", start domestic demand, and create some new demands through long vacation. Because weekends and holidays are originally the concentrated time for business consumption, the seven-day long holiday is also the concentrated time for tourism, transportation and business. Compared with the business opportunities for businesses to make money, the media called it "Golden Week".

The General Office of the State Council emphasized that during holidays, all regions and departments should properly arrange duty and security work, and report major emergencies in time and properly handle them according to laws and regulations.

It is worth noting that during the Mid-Autumn National Day, the epidemic is still not over. People who travel abroad are advised to choose a reasonable destination. You can consider going to Zhou Bianyou, for example, camping outdoors or going to a hotel for a holiday, or taking your parents out to play.

No matter what holidays, in the current state, we must not go to crowded places and try not to get together or gather. When going out, try to wear a mask in a closed space and crowded places, wash your hands frequently and keep a social distance. If you have the chance, you should be vaccinated. In case of special circumstances, please consult a doctor and handle it with caution.
