is not the symbol of the birth of publication, but the symbol of the publication maturing. In ancient China, book
publishing rarely need edit. The object of study in publishing history is the book communication which takes the public
communication as the goal, beginning with the author, ending with the reader. The research scope of publishing history
should be the process of book communication in the history, including the important people, events and the social situation which had affected the book communication.
