The summer vacation is not over yet, the 2022 Mid-Autumn Festival holiday notice is here again! It has also been on the hot search list recently. Time flies so fast. If you don’t pay attention, nearly two-thirds of 2022 will have passed. There are not many holidays in the second half of the year. There are only Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day left. New Year’s Day and Spring Festival should both be counted in 2023. Yes, so cherish this limited holiday.
Let’s first talk about the holiday arrangements for this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival. The official notice is as follows: will be moved from September 10 to September 12, a total of three days. It is worth noting that this holiday will not be adjusted for . This is the official statement. What is controversial is the second half of the statement "no adjustment of leave".
Logically speaking, everyone should be happy that there is no adjustment of holidays, but everyone is still dissatisfied with the wording of "no adjustment of holidays". I'm not happy if I take a vacation, but I'm still dissatisfied if I don't. What's going on?
The holidays in the adjusted holiday mode have been criticized by people. Even the word "adjusted holiday" is not included in many dictionaries, including " Modern Chinese Dictionary ". Adjusted leave means that if a certain holiday includes working days (Monday to Friday), then other weekends must be used to return work to even out the working days.
The holiday and rest mode has been widely criticized, mainly because it disrupts people's daily routines and makes people physically and mentally exhausted, so that many people would rather not take a holiday than take the rest and just follow the normal weekend schedule. Just fine. For example, during the May Day holiday three months ago, we had a holiday from April 30 to May 4, but made up for work on April 24 and May 7, splitting the two weekends into pieces.
Speaking of which, this year’s National Day holiday will implement the off-duty model again, and I’m afraid everyone will be worried about it again. This year, the National Day holiday is moved from October 1 to October 7, and we have to make up work on the two rest days of October 8 and October 9, which means we have to work for 7 consecutive days after the holiday.
It’s not easy. This Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is not taking time off. Why is it causing controversy again? Mainly because of wording issues. The official statement is that "three days are not taken off." During the three days from the 10th to the 12th, the 10th and 11th are Saturday and Sunday respectively, and the 12th is Monday. In fact, there is only one day off. Not three days.
Some people said that it is so difficult to say three days when it is obviously just one day off. Is it so difficult to say one day off? Some people also said that one day of vacation is called three days of vacation, and it is also called "no adjustment of vacation". How can I adjust it? Some people also said that it is actually just one day off, but not an additional day off? This is such a generous statement. Does the wage earner shed tears of gratitude?
In addition to expressing dissatisfaction with the "no holiday adjustment" statement, some people also asked why the holiday cannot be changed to September 9th to September 11th, because the 10th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the day when the family reunites, it should be One day of preparation time, such as purchasing goods, etc., will make you feel happier if you do these things with your family.
Actually, for us migrant workers, there is no say in whether we should take holidays or not. Chinese people are already very tired, so if we have holidays, we should cherish them, make good use of them, and spend more time with our families. As for whether we can adjust our holidays, we all You can't control it, just let nature take its course.

Popular science - Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China. It is a day for family reunion and is still very grand among Chinese people. There are many other names for the Mid-Autumn Festival, such as Moon Girl Festival, Moonlight Festival, Moon Festival, etc. Perhaps it is because this festival is closely related to the moon. The moon on this night is big, round and bright. People look at the moon and eat moon cakes, which is very poetic.
The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times and has a long history. It originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the moon worship on Autumn Eve in ancient times. The Mid-Autumn Festival was born in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty, finalized in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and became popular after the Song Dynasty. Since ancient times, people have enjoyed the customs of enjoying sweet-scented osmanthus, watching lanterns, and eating moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which have been passed down to this day and lasted for a long time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival uses the round moon as a sign of people's reunion, expressing the feeling of missing one's hometown and relatives, and praying for a good harvest and happiness, which has become a colorful and precious cultural heritage. Not only in China, due to the influence of Chinese culture, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially the local Chinese and overseas Chinese.
On May 20, 2006, the State Council included the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists. Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday, and everyone is looking forward to this day.
