Extended data:
Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the identity of employees has changed, personal freedom has increased, and dependence on employers has decreased. Reflected in the labor market, employers mainly rely on "persuasion" to encourage employees to work hard.
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying in Jiangnan where workers were widely employed: "People who work should have three virtues: good money, good food and good harmony;" A writer should get up early, cook early and wash his feet early. "
"Three good" means paying employees enough money; The food is better; Be kind. "Three mornings" means that employers get up early to wake up employees; Cook early to prevent employees from working hungry; Burn foot washing water early at night, so that employees can wash their feet early and rest early.
These historical data show that employees in Ming and Qing Dynasties were not untouchables, and there was a relationship of rights and obligations between them and their employers. In order to do a good job in production, employers attach importance to their basic rights.
