The calendar is a history book hanging on the wall.Huge changes occur in Chinese society during the60years from1949to2009, what is reflected in the calendars. The social development is rapidly, the span of time is long, and the causes of social evolution are complex. The calendars also change a lot, from luxury gift to ordinary commodity, it is not a simple change of goods, but is closely linked with the development of Chinese society. The calenders are close contacted to social relations, which provides a window to understand Chinese society.In the existing research, most of the articles on Chinese calendar are the forms of reflections, memories, or market analysis research in the field of economics. I still don’t find systematic writings which take the calendar as a social phenomenon. In this article, I try to comb context, clarify ideas, proposed and attempt to answer some of these issues by myself.I am interested to study the change of calendars of China in the past60years, intending to reflect the transformation of all aspects of the Chinese society. This article is based on the rise and fall of the calendars of New China to witness the changes and development of the political system, social development, economic construction, ideological, aesthetic standards as well as value-oriented.
