The Development of China Newspapers

The earliest newspaper in China ── the official newspaper of Tang Dynasty, etc. Is delivered through post offices set up by the government, including land and water post offices. The distribution period of ancient newspapers was not fixed, such as Xunkan and Wuri. After the Ming Dynasty, it was gradually fixed as a daily newspaper. Ancient newspapers were only distributed within the feudal ruling institutions, and the readers were royal families, government officials and feudal literati who were enfeoffed everywhere.

In the Song Dynasty, a kind of unofficial tabloid with strong news appeared among the people, which was sold privately and was repeatedly banned by the court. During the Wanli period in Ming Shenzong, imperial edicts allowed people to set up their own newspapers and reprint local newspapers for public sale. In the eleventh year of Ming Taizu's fourth reign, he began to use wooden movable type or clay movable type for printing. At this time, the newspaper office published newspapers for sale, which became an open profession, and this was the beginning of private newspapers in China.

After the appearance of modern newspapers, besides Beijing, there were also newspapers in Nanjing, Jiangling (now Jingzhou, Hubei), Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, mainly publishing and delivering newspapers, and some newspapers also engaged in postal and printing services. In Beijing alone, there are more than a dozen such as Juxing, Jusheng and Tongshun, most of which are concentrated in some hutongs on Qianmen Street.
