Development history

In the first 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to insufficient attention paid to the cause of yearbooks, from 1949 to1978,65438+February, there were less than 10 yearbooks published nationwide. Coupled with the translation and publication of several foreign yearbooks, the number is pitiful, which is extremely disproportionate to the booming publishing industry in New China.

From 65438 to 0950, The Founding Yearbook published by Tianjin Progressive Publishing House was the first comprehensive yearbook published after the founding of New China. In the same year, Ta Kung Pao published a reference book similar to the yearbook-People's Handbook. Subsequently, World Knowledge Handbook (renamed World Knowledge Yearbook in 1958), China Sports Yearbook and China Photography Yearbook were founded one after another.

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party from 65438 to 0978, with the implementation of China's reform and opening-up policy, the yearbook, as an information carrier, has been widely concerned by the party, the government and even all walks of life with its unique advantages, and the cause of yearbook in China has since entered a new historical stage. It should be said that in the past 20 years, China's yearbook career has really taken shape.
