- What is for publishing
- China has a long history of publishing. Original books appeared in the slave society of Yin Shang more than 3,000 years ago, and there will be editing work in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. Some Confucian classics, many of which were compiled and edited at that time, were invented in the Tang Dynasty
- The types of publishing houses, their scope of work, and the types of organizational publishing houses in China are classified according to their affiliation. There are central publishing houses and local publishing houses. According to the scope of business, there are comprehensive publishing houses and professional publishing houses. There are many types of books published by comprehensive publishing houses, and professional publishing houses are only responsible for editing and publishing books of a certain specialty and category. According to the form of publication, there are book publishers and audiovisual publishers. The scope of work of a publishing house, historically and broadly, includes editing, printing, and distribution. In China, only a few publishing houses have their own printing plants. From the current situation, the publishing house is only responsible for editing and publishing, and its specific contents include: formulating topic selection, determining authors, organizing manuscripts, reviewing manuscripts, editing and processing, and finalizing and publishing (including illustrations and layouts, cover

- One,
- Publishing is a social activity for the in-depth development of existing works. Publishing is not about developing original information, but about ready-made works. The task of accepting the original information, summarizing it into knowledge, and forming a knowledge product, has been completed by the author, or has been mainly completed by the author. The formation process of the existing work belongs to the author's labor process and does not belong to the publishing activity. This is the reason why writers' creations, painters' sketches, musicians' music, etc. cannot be regarded as publishing.
- two,
- Publishing is the process of editing the original work so that it has the content of the publication suitable for readers' consumption. Although the publishing process is not the main formation process of knowledge information, it is a process of selecting the knowledge information system. This selection is made in accordance with the requirements suitable for the consumer's consumption. In addition, the selected works must be selected according to the same requirements. The knowledge and information in it are organized, supplemented, refreshed, and perfected, that is, the original work is edited and processed through editing. Paper money is not a publication, and the printing of banknotes is not a publishing activity, or because the original work has not been edited and processed, and therefore lacks the knowledge and information content for readers to consume.
- three,
- Publishing is the process of making a large number of copies of processed existing works so that they have a certain carrier form that can be consumed by readers. Regardless of the method used to copy the work, it is a process of making the processed knowledge information in a carrier form that can be consumed by readers. Only after a large number of copies can the knowledge information contained in the work be accepted by many readers. The archival work also needs to compile and organize the original works (documents), so that the scattered materials can be edited into a volume of files, but the archival work is not publishing, because there is no mass copying process. In the commodity society, the process of mass reproduction of works is also the production process of publications.
- four,
- Publishing includes the process of making a publication public. It is also an important connotation of publishing activities to widely disseminate a large number of copied original works to readers in various ways. Judging from the evolution of the word "publishing" in the West, both French Public and English Publish are derived from Latin Publiciare, while the original meaning of Latin Publicare is "public". It can be seen that among the many meanings given to "publishing", the meaning of "publicly available" has a special status.
