Second Exhibition Room During the Qing Dynasty In ancient China, there were miscellaneous newspapers in Tang Dynasty, residence newspapers in Song Dynasty and Beijing newspapers in Ming Dynasty, but these newspapers hardly survived. In the late Qing Dynasty, official newspapers were printed by the Bureau of general administration, the Bureau of official affairs and Titang officials, but the number was not large. There will be "Shenbao", "Shanghai Bao", "Beijing Bao", "Political Official Newspaper" and "Titang Official Newspaper". Reporting, Newspaper and Jin Bao. Some of these newspapers have become orphans in China. Visiting this exhibition room will be very helpful for us to understand the modern history of China. You can see clearly that in the first year of Xuantong, the "Passenger" newspaper was set up for the rise of tourism at that time. Under the attack of strong gunboats, the Qing government's original policy of "self-confinement" and "arrogance of the night man" was impacted, and went out to see the outside world, that is, tourism can broaden horizons and increase knowledge. For this reason, the "Passenger" Newspapers play an important role in propaganda and promotion. Founded in Shanghai on August 17, 1898, Sino-foreign Daily, with the main content of publicizing bourgeois reform ideas, recording the comments on major events at home and abroad, and the gains and losses of current politics, was the beginning of the subsidies received by the political circles in China's newspapers. It was renamed Sino-foreign Daily on February 25, 1911, and was soon suspended due to the decline of sales. Shanghai Newspaper was first published in Shanghai on May 18, 1882. Its predecessor was the English newspaper Zilin Xibao, whose content was mostly translated from Zilin Xibao. It was renamed Zilin Shanghai Newspaper on March 9, 1908. (1) Up to now, two kinds of Beijing Newspaper have been found and recorded. Beijing Newspaper is a special newspaper within the government of Qing Dynasty. It contains much political news and advocates constitutional monarchy. It was founded in Beijing in 1905 and stopped publishing in 1909. The other one was founded in Beijing on October 5, 1918, sponsored by Shao Pianping. The newspaper severely criticized the Beiyang government and propagated the new trend of thought, and stopped publishing in July 1937. Look at Jin Bao, the first newspaper in Shanxi Province, which is scattered among the people. It is extremely rare. There are only two copies left, one in our library and the other in Shanghai Archives Library, the birthplace of newspapers. It is very precious. On October 26, 1907, the Political Official Newspaper, founded in Beijing, was a special newspaper of the central government of the Qing Dynasty. It mainly published political news and advocated constitutional monarchy. It was suspended in August 1909. The most precious newspaper, Shenbao, was published in 1882. It was the longest-running and most influential daily in modern China. Started in Shanghai on April 30, 1872, it was a two-day magazine. It soon changed to a daily newspaper, Sunrise Eighth Edition. In the middle of the magazine, it was suspended for several times due to changes in the current situation. When Shanghai was liberated in May 1949, the newspaper stopped publishing. It is a treasure house of historical materials for the study of modern Chinese history. It not only records the major political events in various historical periods, but also publishes relevant economic and cultural contents. Its business news and special economic journal are valuable materials for the study of China's economic history. Datong Vernacular Newspaper was published in 1909. This "Datong" is not Datong City, Shanxi Province, but a fake word "Datong", which is a landmark newspaper transforming classical Chinese into vernacular, and a full-page advertisement. This shows that the late Qing government paid attention to and improved commercial and literary aspects, not the past. The order of superiority and inferiority of feudal ranks of "scholar, farmer, worker and merchant". Newspaper, founded in Shanghai in 1903, is one of the most important newspapers in the later period of Guangxu. Its main content is to publish Cixi Tai. 

Exhibition Room 3 Republic of China From 1911 to September 30, 1949, it was called the Republic of China in Chinese history. During this period, Chinese warlords fought in confrontation, foreign invasion, Kuomintang confronted and separated with the Communist Party, hundreds of millions of people struggled for national liberation, the country moved from division to unity, and the nation moved from peril to independence. The ever-changing situation has enhanced the need to transmit information, promoted the publication and distribution of more newspapers, and promoted the development of China's newspapers and journalism. The newspapers in this exhibition room are mainly composed of two parts, one is the newspapers issued by the Provisional Government of the Republic of China and the Central Government of the Kuomintang, the other is the newspapers founded by the Communist Party and progressives. The first is the National Gazette, which was published in Chengdu on December 17, 1910, the oldest newspaper in Sichuan Province, China. The political attitude is obvious, with the color of the middle line. The People's Daily was published on October 12, 1916. Most of the newspapers carried advertisements. The newspapers were directly linked to economic benefits, reflecting the economic situation at that time. Founded in October 1929 in Peiping, the Forbidden City Weekly is an artistic weekly published by the Palace Museum in the early Republic of China. It has good paper quality and rich pictures and texts. Its contents are mostly opera texts, celebrity paintings and calligraphy of emperors'embroidery, and antique appreciation. It was closed in August 1923. It is intuitive and readable, and was deeply loved and treasured by people at that time. (2) The Thunderbolt Evening News, published in 1932, fully reflects the documentary reports of the Japanese invaders launching the 9.18 Incident and the Chinese people rising up to save the nation from peril. The next two Shenbao were published in 1946, 64 years later than the first Shenbao just seen. This issue is a special edition of Chiang Kai-shek's 60th birthday. There are photos and couplets of birthday celebrations, from which we can see the personal worship and corruption and luxury of the National Government. The "Morning Bell" in the exhibition cabinet was founded in Peiping on August 15, 1916. Liang Qichao, editor-in-chief, was renamed "Morning Bell" in December 1918. Pioneer is an organ magazine of the Chinese Communist Youth League. It was first published on January 15, 1922. Its editor-in-chief is Deng Zhongxia. It was suspended after 25 issues. There are also Military Official Gazette, Today's Gazette and Diplomatic Gazette in the exhibition cabinet below. These are the rare newspapers in existence during the Republic of China. Then we see the Communist Party, progressive newspapers. First you see two People's Daily, one of the top ten newspapers in the world. People's Daily was founded on June 15, 1948. This is the first issue of People's Daily. The first one is the People's Daily of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Next we can see the Mongolian Xinjiang Newspaper, which was very precious in the period of the Republic of China. In 1946, the Newspaper published the news that Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling and his wife flew to Lushan and Stuart took over as ambassadors in China. The Children's Daily, published on Saturdays, was published on December 15, 1928 in the Republic of China. It can be seen that the importance of children's education began 86 years ago. Next, see Democracy Daily, Salvation Daily and Literature and Art News. "Salvation Daily" is the first issue, published in 1937, with Guo Moruo inscribing the headline, and "Democracy Daily" is the first issue, published in 1945, with Tao Xingzhi inscribing the headline, all of which are contributions by patriotic celebrities with great influence. Liberation Daily was founded in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province on May 16, 1941. Yang Song, editor-in-chief of the organ newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation. Chairman Mao Zedong wrote headlines and speeches. This newspaper was published on August 14, 1944 and was closed on March 27, 1947. The People's Daily, formerly known as the Frontier Area Mass Daily, was founded in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province on March 25, 1940 and renamed as the organ newspaper of the Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China on January 1, 1948. Editor-in-chief Hu Jiwei, renamed Shaanxi Daily on October 16, 1954, continued to publish. This is the People's Daily of April 2, 1949, which was published on the eve of the national liberation and contains the news that the whole country is about to be liberated in an all-round way. Shengli Daily was first published in Heshun County, Shanxi Province, on May 1, 1938. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the headline of the Party Committee of Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Region was titled by Zhu De. On July 7, 1941, it was renamed Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Daily. It was discontinued on December 20, 1941. Because its circulation is very small, it is very difficult to collect, so it is very precious. Exhibition Room 4 Hong Kong and Macao Ethnic Groups (3) The library has more than 10,000 newspapers issued by 16 ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the whole country. This room has selected and displayed the newspapers of ethnic minorities in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang for your viewing. At the same time, people can understand the economy, culture, folklore and customs of different regions, races and languages. At 10 a.m. on July 1, 1997, the founding ceremony of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was solemnly held. After many years of traveling, they finally returned to their mothers'arms. This exciting news was reported in the Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao. The two editions of this newspaper, with a slit in the middle, were included in the Guinness Book of Records in the form of the largest page in the press. 

Fifth Exhibition Room Cultural Revolution The Cultural Revolution, which began on May 16, 1966, lasted for ten years. Ten years of turmoil and ten years of catastrophe have caused great losses to the whole Party, army and people. Newspapers in the exhibition room record editorials, articles and events at every stage of the decade. Reading carefully, the old people seem to see the chaotic scenes of the big newspapers, big debates and fighting at that time, from which young people can fully understand the beginning and end of the Cultural Revolution. So we can cherish today's great situation. Look at the two characteristic pictorials in front of us. The first one is Chairman Mao's meeting with the Red Guards at Tian'anmen Town Building on August 12, 1966, and his attitude towards the candidates for succession is to confirm Lin Biao's political status in the central government. The other one is Mao Zedong's meeting with Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai in Beijing on December 31, 1967. Photos of participants in Mao Zedong Thought Class. Here, Lin Biao is titled "close comrade-in-arms" and "Vice-Chairman Lin", but before the name of Zhou Enlai, who is highly respected, it is "and". Then you can see that the Wen Hui Bao published the Notice of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on May 16, 1966, referred to as the Notice of 5.16. Notice approval of "three villages open shop" and comment on "Hairui strike". The spearhead was directed at Deng Tuo, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, Liao Mo-sha, vice mayor of Beijing, Wu Han and their supporters Peng Zhen, thus opening the prelude to the Cultural Revolution. Wen Hui Bao has also become a pioneer in propaganda of the Cultural Revolution. Since then, the content and layout of newspapers have been supervised by the Red Guards. Local newspapers not only publish the articles of Xinhua News Agency Telegraph and People's Daily in more than 80% of their space, but also lose the characteristics of local newspapers. The layout has almost become a copy of the People's Daily. Since the founding of the People's Daily, there has never been a rare phenomenon of "one side of a thousand newspapers" in the history of Chinese journalism. Nevertheless, many local newspapers have been interrupted or suspended because of the impact of the rebels. This one was published in the People's Daily on August 5, 1966, as "Artillery Command" - my "Big Letter Newspaper" started the violent action of artillery against bourgeois Command. Look at the fourth newspaper. On August 12, 1966, Mao Zedong personally received the mass representatives who congratulated the Sixteenth Article and issued a call for "you to care about the national affairs and carry out the Proletarian Cultural Revolution to the end". The fierce fire of the Cultural Revolution burned even more fiercely. In April 1967, the Wen Hui Bao began a critical climax of "firmly grasping the major aspects of struggle". Chinese Khrushchev became the pronoun of Liu Shaoqi, President of the State. In November 1969, Liu Shaoqi died unjustly. The Beijing Daily, entitled "Fighting against Private Affairs and Reporting for Private Affairs" and "Never Forget Class Struggle", became the guiding principle for the "Cultural Revolution" to touch the soul in the ideological field, and promoted the "Cultural Revolution" to the theoretical level of continuing the revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat. (4) Later newspapers objectively displayed the strategic plan of the "Cultural Revolution" at that time. Mao Zedong gave a series of instructions from January 1 to April 10, 1968, in order to win the overall victory of the Cultural Revolution. Intellectual youth go up to the mountains and go to the countryside, and receive re-education in the vast world. From 1966 to 1976, they returned to the city one after another. In the past ten years, they have been trained by arduous struggle and conveyed cultural knowledge to the countryside. At the same time, there are also serious consequences of knowledge faults, shortage of talents and lack of green and yellow. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong issued a call for "the majority of cadres to decentralize their work", and "May 7th cadre schools" were established everywhere. A large number of cadres and college teachers were sent to work in cadre schools, and their professional specialties could not be brought into full play. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong also issued slogans of "Daqing for Industry" and "Dazhai for Agriculture". Finally, on October 22, 1976, 1.5 million people and soldiers in the capital held a grand celebration parade, warmly congratulating the victory of the anti-revolutionary group that crushed the Gang of Four, and the "Cultural Revolution" was finally over. On September 29, 1980, a public trial of Lin Biao and Jiangqing counter-revolutionary groups began. Lin Biao and Jiangqing were punished by state laws. The "Cultural Revolution" was a civil unrest that was wrongly launched by leaders, exploited by counter-revolutionary groups and brought serious disasters to the nation and people. The Decision finally made an objective and fair judgment on the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, from which the Chinese people should learn the painful lesson. Exhibition Room 6 All over the World The library has more than 10,000 copies of newspapers in over 90 countries and regions all over the world. This room has selected and exhibited foreign newspapers such as the United States, Britain, France, Canada, the former Soviet Union, Japan and so on. The special exhibition is very precious. 

Seventh Exhibition Room Major Current Events The exhibition room consists of two parts: major current affairs and special newspapers. If the newspaper is the footnote of the times, then these important current events are the track of history. For example, every 10-year festival of the Republic, the glorious achievements made by the growing China have attracted worldwide attention. Foreign events include the war in Iraq and the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11. On the South wall, there are some special-shaped newspapers, such as oversized newspapers, small palm newspapers, cigarette box newspapers, umbrella newspapers, handkerchief newspapers, which are exotic and precious. Look: This is a series of newspapers celebrating the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th anniversaries of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Liu Shaoqi delivered the opening speech of the 10-year festival, and Mao Zedong participated in it: the 20-year Festival coincided with the "Cultural Revolution" on a smaller scale, and only Zhou Enlai held a reception. Representatives of the Red Guards were invited to attend: the 30-year festival was hosted by Hua Guofeng, Ye Jianying's speech: the 40-year festival was hosted by Yang Shangkun, and Jiang Zemin's speech: October 1, 1999. At 10 a.m. Tuesday, the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic was held in Tiananmen Square. The grand occasion was unprecedented. Jia Qinglin announced the beginning of the celebration. Jiang Zemin took a bus to review and make a speech. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, through land reform, resistance to the United States and assistance to the DPRK, cooperation, especially reform and opening-up, China's socialist revolution and socialist construction have made tremendous achievements, from the former "sick man of East Asia" to a powerful Oriental giant. Look at these newspapers, which respectively published "China's first successful hydrogen bomb explosion", "China's successful launch of the first artificial earth satellite", "the 29th Olympic Games in 2008 will be held in Beijing", "China's Shenzhou V manned spacecraft launch success", which is the growing history of the Republic. History witnesses. (5) At 9:40 a.m. on September 11, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks took place in New York and Washington, USA. The 110-storey World Trade Center building caught fire and collapsed. The Pentagon caught fire and tens of thousands of lives were killed. On October 8, 2001, at 0.27 a.m., the United States and Britain began to attack Afghanistan militarily, and World War I began. At 10:40 on March 20, 2003, there was an explosion over Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. The war in Iraq started and the world was in turmoil. We should enhance our national defense awareness. In addition to major current affairs, there are also various special-shaped treasure newspapers in this hall. There are People's Daily (super-large), plastic newspaper and palm newspaper on display here. The broadest newspaper, Zhuhai Special Zone Newspaper, is the world's widest newspaper, which is run to celebrate the completion of the Pearl Poster Building. The most unique and smallest newspaper, Jiangnan Tour, is the first true color mini-newspaper. It is the "9.27" World Tourism Day in commemoration of China Tourism Year (1997). It has been listed in the "Guinness Most" Records. There are also business card newspapers, cigarette labels printed behind cigarette boxes, and the shortest time-to-issue newspaper, the "Happy Newspaper", which is both the starting and closing number. It is very rare. Now there is a copy in the Beijing Library. This is a postcard. And China First. Finally, there are unique cultural newspapers such as Shan Bao and Umbrella Bao. I hope that visitors and friends can enjoy their eyes and share their interests. The Eighth and Ninth Exhibition Rooms in Memory of Great Men The industrious and brave Chinese nation has nurtured countless heroes, waving the five-star red flag in the New China, and will never forget the revolutionary aspirants who have sacrificed their precious lives for the Republic. The 1.3 billion Chinese people who have stood up will never forget their painstaking efforts and dedication to the birth of the Republic and the growth of the Republic for generations to come. They are Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Chen Yi and He Long. They are Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, Li Xiannian, Ye Jianying, Liu Bocheng and Xu Qianqian. They will always live in the hearts of the Chinese people. When we specially design these two special exhibition rooms in memory of great people, our hearts are heavy. It will be our greatest consolation when the exhibition room of remembering the great man can give you some thoughts, some admiration and some ambition and pride of contributing strength. Exhibition Room 10 Press Room There are more than 60,000 kinds of newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad, and more than 1.1 million copies (volumes) in the exhibition hall of China's rare newspapers.
