Overtime is a common occupation. In ancient times, people lacked accurate means of telling the time, and almost all the time in the evening depended on overtime. Even many rural towns have overtime. At that time, there was little cultural and entertainment life at night, which was basically made at sunrise and stopped at sunset. When people hear the beat of the night watchman, they know the time and what to do according to the usual practice. People live a quiet life step by step. After liberation, with the improvement of people's material and cultural living standards and the popularization of clocks and watches, people's demand for time is far from being satisfied by playing. Naturally, the ancient occupation of overtime has gradually disappeared.
