Labor is the essential feature of human beings, and all material and cultural wealth of society begins with labor. "Labor" first appeared in the history of China's Three Kingdoms. Wei Zhi? Hua Tuochuan: "The human body wants to work hard and cannot be extreme." It refers to sports activities. Modern Chinese Dictionary interprets it as: human activities to create material or spiritual wealth; Refers to manual labor or "doing manual labor". Marx pointed out that "labor is first and foremost a process between man and nature, and it is a process in which man mediates, regulates and controls the material transformation between man and nature with his own activities. He divided labor into: manual labor and mental labor; Simple labor and complex labor; Material productive labor and spiritual productive labor; Productive labor and service labor.

In agricultural society, it mainly refers to manual labor, and the division of labor between mental labor and manual labor is not obvious. In industrial society, labor mainly refers to processing and manufacturing labor, and the social division of labor between hand and brain is becoming more and more obvious. In the post-industrial society or information society, management labor, scientific and technological labor and other mental labor are becoming more and more important, while manual labor has become the bottom labor of the market.
