In April 2004, Modern Education Press was established in Beijing. As an educational publishing house, it belongs to China Publishing Group Corporation. At the beginning of the society, as a publishing house focusing on educational books, it was faced with the embarrassing situation that the Ministry of Education stopped the examination and approval of primary and secondary school textbooks and it was difficult to start the mainstream primary and secondary school textbook publishing project. At the same time, due to the disorder of management, the overall benefit of the domestic supplementary books market has declined greatly. Facing the severe publishing situation, Modern Education Publishing House put forward the strategic decision of "three changes" (from supplementary books to teaching materials, from educational books to children's books, from long-term products to short-term products) after publishing a number of influential supplementary books. The product structure and layout are becoming more and more reasonable, the production scale is expanding steadily, the product quality is improving day by day, the core competitiveness of products is gradually enhanced, and the social influence is expanding day by day. In 2007, Modern Education Publishing House put forward the working policy of "there are prizes on the list, key awards, and expanded evaluation of merit" with the word 16. "Winning the prize on the list" is to strive for the books of Modern Education Publishing House to win the national and group book awards. "Key Award" is a key book that gathers the strength of the whole society to run a modern education publishing house well. "Capacity expansion" means adding more editing rooms to meet the development requirements of the book market and expand the total amount and quantity of main business. "Merit evaluation and award" is to improve the reward mechanism and look at contribution and performance.

From June 5438 to October 2008 10, Modern Education Publishing House put forward the development idea of "playing three cards-education card, bestseller card and academic book card". On this basis, according to the market situation.

In 2009, Modern Education Publishing House put forward "300 books of the year", namely "100 textbooks of the year", "100 bestsellers and bestsellers of the year" and "100 academic works of the year".
