Abstract Fengyuan Li, which Shen Kuo and Wei Pu made, was a calendar promulgated by the Northern Song Government. The activity of making calendar was carried out during the Xining reform. By a study on the astronomical activity of making calendar from the combination of the political, social, cultural, technical factors and Shen kuo's personal forte dimensions, this article attempts to analyze what the Northern Song Government agencies did. The calendar reform was not only a scientific activity, but also a political event of the state. Under support of the state, the innovation of managerial systems and due to the regular rules of technical management established by the government, progress was made by the government activities. The development of astronomy was, however, held back by bureaucratic obstructionism.
