11 中国人有午睡的习惯吗? Do Chinese people take daily noontime nap?
One Chinese custom still prevails in some areas and generally comes as a surprise to many foreigners who visit China for the first time.It is the noontime siesta,known as wuxiu(midday rest,午休)in Chinese.
In ancient agricultural civilization people got up with the sun,worked in the fields until midday,and then took a long break before going back to work and continuing until sundown.
In some places,the midday break during summer months lasts for up to three hours,beginning at noon or before.In winter it is usually two hours.However,in some business firms and factories,the length of wu xiu varies,and in some cases it has been eliminated altogether.
