China's calendar system dates back approximately four thousand years. An oracle bone calendar unearthed proves that the Yin dynasty already possessed a relatively advanced calendar system. This oracle bone calendar is the oldest physical calendar in the world, also known as a daily calendar.
A Tang dynasty poem states: "In the mountains, there is no calendar, and one does not know the passing of years." 'Calendar' may refer to the earliest desk calendar. During the Tang dynasty, court historians would cut and bind paper daily into monthly volumes. Each page listed the month and date, leaving blank space for the eunuchs to record the emperor's activities. This was known as a 'calendar'. At the end of each month, the calendar was submitted to the emperor for review before being archived by the historians for use in compiling the national history. Its function of recording time and events led to its widespread adoption by civil and military officials.
Early Development
Historical records indicate that calendars were already in use in the imperial palace around 1100 years ago, in the first year of the Yongzhen era under Emperor Shunzong of Tang. These calendars, also known as imperial calendars, not only recorded dates but also served as crucial materials for compiling national history. Similar to a point-based system, the calendar was divided into 12 volumes for each year, with the number of pages in each volume determined by the number of days in the corresponding month. The month and date were written on each page. Eunuchs attending to the emperor temporarily kept the calendar, recording the emperor's daily activities in the blank spaces. At the end of each month, the calendar was submitted to the emperor for approval before being archived by the historians. The historians then combined the calendar entries with major events from the court and various regions of the country, refining and embellishing them before recording them into the national history.
Later, due to the convenience calendars offered, they gradually entered the homes of many high-ranking officials. These officials adapted and created their own calendars. As calendars became more commonplace and family-oriented, people began printing the stems and branches, lunar months, solar terms, and auspicious dates from the calendar books onto calendars, leaving ample blank space for notes.
The evolution of calendars into wall calendars, desk calendars, and other forms is a relatively recent development, occurring within the last century. The styles of desk calendars have evolved from simple designs to numerous variations, driven by recent market economics, the proliferation of the internet, and increased cultural exchange. Desk calendars have generally become smaller and more refined.
