Build New and Not Old
by Cheng Heqing
About This Novel
In ancient China, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the official (court) newspapers had been Di Bao, Tang Bao, and Gongmen Chao. There were no newspapers in the modern sense. After the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, governors and governors from various places began to establish modern official newspapers, such as "Beiyang Official News", "Nanyang Official News", "Qinzhong Bookstore Report", "Hubei Official News", "Bingzhou Official News" and so on. The establishment of official newspapers is to circulate information and contribute to the progress of the times. However, local states and counties often default on newspaper fees and postage, which also makes many official newspapers unable to make ends meet and on the verge of bankruptcy. This period highlights the contradiction and conflict between the "new" and the "old". The value of this book lies in sorting out the historical context of official newspapers in the late Qing Dynasty, reproducing the difficult process of late Qing official newspapers starting from scratch, and interpreting the different attitudes of feudal officials and important ministers towards modern official media at that time, as well as how modern news newspapers and periodicals influenced the historical trend.
