After the establishment of China Photography Society, it began to contact and guide photographers all over the country, carry out photography exchange activities, and hold photography exhibitions in the form of organizations. Since then, China Photography and Popular Photography have been founded one after another, and the photography art in China has entered a period of great strides. 1959, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the National Day, a large-scale picture album "China" was edited and published. This photo album, weighing 8 kilograms, contains 464 works by 172 photographers, showing the great achievements made since the founding of New China 10 and the energetic spirit of the people of China. In 1958 and 1962, President Mao Zedong inscribed the names of China Photography, Popular Photography and China Photographers Association.
