Weekends, air conditioners（空调）, takeouts（外卖）. These are common things for modern people. Have you ever wondered whether ancient people enjoyed the same lifestyles?
No “weekends”
In ancient China, there were no “weekends” because people did not use a weekly calendar. But they could still relax after work. For example, officials（官员）usually worked for 10 days and rested for one day. This day was called xiumu.
There were many public holidays in ancient times for common people to rest, such as Spring Festival, winter solstice and Mid-Autumn Festival. People even had days off for the emperor’s（皇帝的）birthday.
Smart ways of staying cool
In ancient times, ▲. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, people collected ice in winter. When summer came, people took the ice out and used them. The “bingjian” was a type of ancient fridge. People would put drinks inside and the drinks would become colder. There was a kind of pillow made of china that felt pleasantly cool. People also wove bamboo into bed mats（垫子）to sleep on.
Takeouts not a new thing
Takeout is not a new thing. According to history books, Emperor Xiaozong asked his men to go out to pick up dishes. Common people also ordered takeouts. Restaurant waiters would go out into the streets and tell customers which dishes could be ordered.
People even had good tools to carry takeout dishes. They have several layers（层）just like boxes. People also used warming plates made of two layers of china. Hot water could be put between them to keep dishes warm.
