The red envelopes for the start of work in the past were called li shi, also known as li shi, for the meaning of great luck and good fortune. It was recorded in the I Ching, similar to the current red envelopes. During the Southern Song Dynasty, on the last night of the Lantern Festival, the governor of Lin'an would go out on the street to pay his respects to the public and give out lishui to vendors to call for the start of work.

Some old people call LiYi for "red paper", common LiYi seal in fact only a few decades of history, the Qing Dynasty is still not LiYi seal, every festival, to a large sheet of red paper cut into small squares sealed into LiYi.

The first generation of lisian seals began to appear in the late Guangxu, after the popularization of printing technology. At that time, the red paper was printed with yellow ink, and then painted with gold powder while the ink was still wet, which looked like gold characters printed on the red paper. In addition to auspicious words and phrases, some are also accompanied by simple patterns.

The seven-color printed red envelopes were first introduced in the early 1930s, with auspicious New Year's paintings such as sailboats and fortune pictures. The gold-stamped lettering of red envelopes appeared only in the 1960s. The gold-stamped "Hundred Surnames Li Shi Feng" began to be popular in the 1970s. In addition, the major companies in the 1960s and 1970s also began to print red envelopes to send to customers.

Ancient work time

Ancient public officials' commuting time, similar to modern times, was also morning gathering and evening dispersal, but specifically earlier than the modern institutions of the nine-to-five, summed up as "the cock crows when you get up, early and late return".

"Poetry - Qi wind - chicken" has said "the chicken has been sounded, the dynasty has been full of carry on, the East is bright, the dynasty has been Chang carry on," is to say that the rooster has crowed, on the dynasty have arrived; the East has been bright, on the dynasty has been busy. This shows that from the Spring and Autumn period, the ancients had a "rooster crowing that work" tradition.

The time when the rooster crows is actually dawning, i.e., five to seven o'clock in the morning, which is indeed much earlier than in modern times. The provisions of the off-duty time, the various dynasties, there is no major change, such as the Qing Dynasty, spring and summer 4 p.m. off duty, fall and winter 3 p.m. off duty, has formed the ancient practice, that is, from about six or seven o'clock in the morning to three or four o'clock in the afternoon, more than eight hours of ****.
