This is a booklet that systematically introduces the development of China's modern publishing industry. The author introduces us to a series of issues closely related to the publishing industry in China's modern history, such as the publications of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the official bookstore during the Westernization period, the spread of Western learning to the East and the craze for translation, Xia Ruifang and the Commercial Press, the inland book sales of Kaiming Bookstore, the publishing law in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the New Culture Movement and publishing, and the spread of Marxism. From this we can see the development process of China's publishing industry in modern times.
