What does a calendar mean?

A calendar is a monthly calendar or an annual calendar hanging on the wall.

The China calendar was born in the 1940s. After the founding of New China, with the development of color printing technology, calendars have also been developed. In the early days of the founding of New China, most news publishing units such as People's Publishing House and People's China Publishing House used "calendar" as a kind of publicity materials.

The texts are in Chinese and English, and some are all in foreign languages. The contents of the pictures include construction achievement photography, motherland scenery, ancient landscape paintings, movie stills and so on. They are displayed externally and rarely distributed internally. At that time, New Year pictures were distributed internally.

Historical origin

The prototype of the calendar is a kind of "debt collection book". With the passage of time, the "debt collection book" gradually evolved into today's calendar. Calendar evolved from imperial calendar, monthly calendar and New Year pictures, and it is a work of art combining almanac and New Year pictures.

It was in ancient Rome, when a man specialized in lending money and charged the debtor interest on a monthly basis. For convenience, they recorded the date and month when someone should repay the debt and interest. Because this kind of notebook is arranged by month and date, there is a note column, and its note-taking method is simple and clear, which is gradually used for reference by other industries.
