How to punch in and out of work in ancient times? Guess what the ancients called clocking in at work

Dot. This word is very peculiar, and it has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. The original meaning was that in the ancient official hall, when it came to the "Mao time", which is equivalent to five or seven o'clock in the morning, the number of people on duty was checked, so it was called "Dianmao".

It is said that the first time to start in the Tang Dynasty was that the official offices and yamen of the old government offices were all started to work in the Mao Dynasty. How many people will naturally be recorded, according to the record when the time comes, you will be paid a day, you will be absent from work for a day, even the court does not raise idlers, except for the silly prince, but it is not excluded that those who have authority to the sky disdain to point out.

It is precisely because it is "pointed at the time of Mao" that it is referred to as "Dianmao", and the person who is called, such as the official who is named by name, is called "Ying Mao", and its roll call is also logically called "Mao Book". If you need to sign in, it is called "drawing".

Li Cun, a bibliophile in the Tang Dynasty, once recorded in the book "The Ballad of Volunteer Service":After the fifth watch, I went to paint Mao, and the water carried the roadHomecomingLate afternoon. The meaning of this sentence is actually obvious, that is, some people are unwilling to go to work so early in order to cope with official business, or simply skip work, and leave directly after the order, so later generations or modern people also use "Dianmao" as a metaphor for people who are perfunctory and cope with errands.

And this word is mostly used in Beijing dialect, and most of the Kanye in Beijing ridicule their work for being idle, and they usually tell people: "I'll go back when I order it." The meaning remains the same in ancient and modern times, but now there is a hint of ridicule in it, all in all, the point is to punch in, the different paths are the same, the meaning is the same.

Although in ancient times, there was no electronic punch-in function, and there was no way to punch in and out of face, but in ancient times, it was possible to record the time and number of days of work through registration.

In ancient times, there would be special people to register those people to work, which may be equivalent to the existence of personnel in modern times. Registration is very simple, that is, using paper to register the time when people commute to and from work.

In fact, many things may not be as convenient as modern ones, but ancient people still had their own unique ways to solve them. Things like clocking in and out can be solved in many ways. If it was in ancient times, when there was no pen and paper to register, it was possible to record it by tying a knot with a rope at that time.

No matter what era it is, things will have their way to be solved, because the times are developing, and everything encountered needs to be solved. The ancient recording methods can evolve slowly, and with the development of the times, it has slowly become today's electronic punch-in method, or some companies use the technology of face brushing.

All the ways are getting more and more advanced, and punching in is just a kind of record.

In ancient times, there was no need to punch in, because the ancient ** did not dare to go to the court at will or not deal with official documents, because as long as someone is slightly upward or the emperor reports, then losing the official position is a trivial matter, and the loss of life outweighs the loss, so the power of imperial power can still be well restricted.

Dot.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, in ancient times, ** had to go to work when the rooster crowed. The time when the rooster crows is generally five o'clock in the morning, according to the order of the earthly branch, this time period is exactly the time of Mao, the first thing before the dynasty is to count the number of people, so the ancient work clock is called "Dianmao".

IntroducedMao time, the twelve hours of the vertical companion one, corresponding to the modern time of 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock, also known as the beginning of the sun, dawn, the rising sun, sunrise, etc., refers to the sun just appeared, the rising time, for the ancient government office began to work time, so it is also called the point Mao. Because it is the rising of the morning, it is also called the sunrise.

In ancient China, the day was divided into 12 hours, each of which was equal to two hours in the present day.

The twelve-hour system, the Western Zhou Dynasty has been used, the Han Dynasty named the night after the stupid half, the rooster crows, Pingdan, sunrise, eclipse, Yuzhong, day, sun, dusk, people. It is also expressed by the twelve earthly branches, with 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock as the sub, 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock as the ugly time, and 3 to 5 o'clock as the yin time, and then recursively.

The time when the rooster crows is generally five o'clock in the morning, according to the order of the earth god sparrow branch this time period is just the end of the year, the first thing before the dynasty is to count the number of people, so the ancient work to play the bridge card is called "point Mao".

In ancient times, people had similar clock-ins at work.

Modern work has a clock-in system to record employees' working hours, and it is also a powerful supervision for lateness and absenteeism. Unexpectedly, in ancient times, there was a similar punch-in system, which was used to assess the attendance of the **, once a violation of discipline was found, it would be beaten to the board, and the heavy one would be directly sentenced.

In ancient times, local ** people went to work, and they paid attention to the rooster crowing, and sometimes they had to rush to report before dawn. According to the regulations, as long as the public servants in the system, including scribes and officials, must go to work every day at dawn, but at that time, people were not sure of the specific time, so the method of tapping the cloud board seven times, and then receiving the seals of each place for signing, it was time to officially go to work. The management of working in the capital is stricter, and for the court, each person must arrive on time.

Ancient commuting and off-duty times

There is a poem "Chicken Song" in "The Book of Poetry Qi Feng", which describes the work situation of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period: the chicken is crowing, the court is ying, and when the rooster crows, ** is ready to go to court; When the east is bright, the court is full of courts.

The ancient tradition of getting ready for work as soon as the rooster crows has been formed at least in the Spring and Autumn period. From then on, this period gradually became the Mao time. The modern 24-hour clock is from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

The local ** should also arrive at the post on time. Procedurally speaking, the drumming and ascending to the church is the beginning of the local government's office; After leaving work in the afternoon, they also play the drums, which is called santang drumming.

The drum set up in front of the ancient yamen was originally used to announce that the county magistrate was off work, which was equivalent to a bell for getting off work, and it was only used in the Ming and Qing dynasties as an emergency for the people who had no time to write complaints.

The ancients went to Chi's Xiangban to punch in and call the point code to fight the core high.

The concept of clocking in and out of work in ancient times was different from that of modern society, but they also had a similar way of recording working hours. The ancients clocked in and out of work, which can be called"Upper court"。In ancient China, it was necessary to go to the court on time and report to the emperor, which can be seen as a punch-card system.

In addition, some industries also have a similar system, such as craftsmen need to report to the workshop at the time of random guessing and start working.

The ancients argued to go to work when the rooster crowed, the time when the rooster crowed was generally five o'clock in the morning, according to the order of the earth branch, this time period happened to be the time of the hole, ** the first thing before the court was to count the number of people, so the ancient work clock was called "Dianmao".
