Features: China is a country with a long history of book publishing and abundant cultural classics. In addition to the earliest written materials recorded on oracle bones and bronze drums, by the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods, bamboo slips and silk books for dissemination had already emerged. Subsequently, throughout the dynasties, people have been engaged in compiling, writing, carving, and collecting books, accumulating a wealth of cultural classics and sparking related academic research on book publishing. This book is part of a series on editing and publishing studies. It draws nourishment from the intellectual heritage left by predecessors and summarizes the experience of book publishing through a combination of historical and contemporary research. It explores the laws of book publishing, constructs a theoretical system for book publishing, and guides practical applications in the field of book publishing.
