ABSTRACT
In the early years of the republic, the peak of the new newspaper establishment was reached. At this time, there were newspapers such as Shun Pao and Ta Kung Pao, which had far-reaching impact on modern Chinese society. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, folk news activities in Beijing increased. Titang was the official institution responsible for the publication and delivery of the official newspaper during the Qing Dynasty. In October 1840, in retaliation for Lin Zexu prohibition of opium, the British attacked Dinghai and Tianjin. Hong Rengan was the leader of the late Taiping Rebellion. Wang Tao was one of the earliest newsmen in modern China. Wang Tao's political arguments not only inherited but also extended the tradition of Chinese ancient essay writing. In September 1916, Ying Lianzhi sold Ta Kung Pao to Wang Zhilong. On September 1, 1926, the new Ta Kung Pao in the Xin Ji Company was founded.
