Abstract:

After the Sixth National Congress of the CPC, the central publishing institutions mainly included Central Committee of the CPC Newspapers and Publishing Section of Central Propaganda Department. The CPC Newspapers was the most representative one in publishing, and the Central Propaganda Department had partial publishing institutions’ function. This was an important feature of the central publishing institutions when headquartered in Shanghai. Owing to the unfavorable political environment at that period, the establishment of central publishing institutions was very unstable. Publishing institutions such as the Central Circulation Department and Central Publishing Department were emerged, and with different focuses in their functions.
