Tips

culture
China's public holiday system 'borrows' workdays before/after holidays to create longer runs. The resulting stretches of 6- or 7-day work weeks are one of the most complained-about features of the Chinese calendar.
usage
Also used for personal time-shift: 明天我调休 = 'I'm taking tomorrow off and making it up another day'.
