In ancient history, which dynasty's officials and ministers had the best retirement benefits?

The retirement age in China is around 60 years old. When people reach the age of 60, they begin to live in peace. But in ancient times, although there was a retirement system, in many cases, people could not retire until they were over 70 years old. It was not easy to live over 70 years old in ancient times. Throughout so many dynasties, the best retirement treatment should belong to the Song Dynasty. Other dynasties used to squeeze these officials in disguise.

The retirement age is generally higher.

In ancient times, officials had to retire at a very old age. However, in the case of underdeveloped medical environment and people's early death in ancient times, few people were able to get pensions. In fact, it was not until the Han Dynasty that the retirement system was gradually formalized. However, in the Han Dynasty, there were two requirements, one was to be 70 years old, and the other said that only officials at or above the provincial or ministerial level were eligible for pensions, and the pensions were one-third of the salary during their tenure. The system in the Tang Dynasty was slightly better, but pensions were still distributed in different grades.

Song dynasty was well paid.

But in this long history, there are always one or two dynasties that have been treated well. It was in the Song Dynasty that officials were well paid when they retired. Although 70 years old is still required, the Song Dynasty can get the same salary after retirement, and every monarch in the Song Dynasty is more and more sympathetic to his officials. Even if officials don't get benefits, they can leave them to their descendants. The system of the Song Dynasty made many people try their best to be officials.

In the course of its development, China is getting better and better. Since ancient times, everyone can retire at the age of 60. You can spend the rest of your life feeling the difference in this world. Let everyone enjoy their old age with peace of mind, which is the welfare brought by a country's strength and the best proof of a country's strength.
