The origin of summer vacation
It can be traced back to ancient agricultural society. In farming society, people's life is dominated by agriculture, and summer is a period of vigorous crop growth and busy farming. In order to meet the needs of agricultural production, people often need to concentrate on planting, harvesting and field management of crops.
Therefore, in order to improve farmers' labor efficiency and ensure a bumper harvest, people need to have a relatively long rest time in order to recover their physical strength and recuperate. This rest period is often arranged in summer, that is, during the busy farming season. This period is called "summer vacation".
With the development of society and the change of industrial and agricultural production mode, summer vacation has gradually evolved into an important part of modern education system. Schools and educational institutions usually use summer vacation to provide students with a relatively free and relaxed learning and living environment, and at the same time provide them with some extra learning opportunities and activities, such as summer camp and extracurricular practice.
