Historical origin of desk calendar

Desk calendar originally refers to a calendar placed on a desk. There are desktop calendars and electronic calendars now. The main varieties are various business desk calendars, paper desk calendars, crystal desk calendars, notebook desk calendars, gift desk calendars, personalized desk calendars and so on.

According to historical records, this calendar was already used in Yongzhenyuan Palace in Tang Shunzong about 1 100 years ago. At that time, the calendar, also known as the imperial calendar, not only recorded dates, but also was an important material for compiling national history. The calendar at that time was similar to today's. The current year is divided into 12 volumes, and the number of pages per volume is determined according to the number of days per month. Each page is written with the month and date, and then given to the eunuch who served the emperor for temporary storage. The eunuch recorded the words and deeds of the emperor on an empty page every day, submitted them to the emperor for examination and approval at the end of each month, and sent them to the historian for filing. The historian then combined the contents of the calendar with events in the imperial court and various regions of China, and refined them. Later, because the calendar brought a lot of convenience to life, it gradually entered the families of many senior officials in North Korea, and after some changes, it was compiled into its own calendar; Later, with the popularization and family development of calendars, people also put calendars on calendars; Solar terms and auspicious days are printed on the calendar, leaving a big blank for recording.

As for the monthly calendar, it has only been nearly a hundred years since it developed into various forms such as wall calendar and desk calendar. The style of desk calendar has changed from the original simple style to the present variety. In recent years, the popularization and development of market economy and Internet have promoted the communication between different cultures. Of course, the desk calendar is also among them. The most common thing is that desk calendars have tended to be smaller and more exquisite.
