摘要
年鉴是从历书发展而来的。《夏小正》和《吕氏春秋·十二纪》首篇是我国现存最早的月历,按月安排全年的生产、政务、祭祀等活动,具有指导生产、政务、宗教活动的功能,蕴含了原始年鉴的主要特征。这说明在二、三千年前,中国已出现了年鉴的雏形,其之所以没有发展成近代意义上的、成熟的年鉴,主要原因在于中国古代的历书是统治者的专利品,没有将它普及到人民大众中去。
Yearbook originates from the calendar and the first chapter of 'The Spring and Autumn Annals' is the earlies monthly calendar of China. This shows that as early as about two or three thousand years ago there appeared the embryonic form of yearbook in China. The reason that the ancient calendar did not develop into modern yearbook is that calendar in China was monopolized by the rulers.
