In 1950s and 1960s, Guangdong Central Administrative Region, Foshan Special Zone and Foshan City successively established newspapers such as Guangdong Central Farmers Daily, Foshan Daily, New Foshan Daily, Hongfoshan Daily and Foshan Third Generation Daily. These newspapers were published in quadruplicate, biweekly, Wednesday or irregularly, and only daily newspapers were published in the late 1950s and early 1960s. 1February, 1972 to1September, 1975, Foshan Daily, sponsored by Foshan prefectural party committee, was divided into four editions, with three or four editions every week, facing two counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Foshan.
