Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, some serious bookstores had editing rooms. However, most bookstores at that time were comprehensive, and although the editorial department had a division of labor, it was not strict. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, in order to ensure the healthy development of the socialist publishing industry, the state stipulated that whether there was an editorial department was one of the main criteria to measure whether a publishing unit was qualified. Later, according to the principle of professional division of labor, publishing houses all stipulated their own publishing majors and set up professional editorial departments.
