The People's ** Publishing House organized the publication of the "People's Anthology" series of books, and invited me to join in it, and sorted out the manuscripts on publishing since I was engaged in press and publication administration, selected a number of them, and published them in a collection. To do this, they did a lot of preparatory work, collecting a list of some of the articles I had previously published in the press. When I received an invitation from the People's Publishing House, I was a little hesitant: on the one hand, I was not mentally prepared to publish a collection of essays, mainly because the number of manuscripts published in the past was not large, and the level was limited, so it was difficult to be "selected"; On the other hand, in the "People's Anthology" series of books, many authors are highly respected and accomplished experts and scholars in various disciplines and fields, while I am only a shallow scholar and have not deep attainments. With the encouragement of the People's ** Publishing House, we began to sort out the past manuscripts, selected the manuscripts related to the publication of this topic, and published them under the title of "Selected Works of Wu Shangzhi" in accordance with the unified requirements of the book series.
The book includes 43 articles on publishing from April 2010 to April 2023, when I was engaged in press and publication administration, the China Periodicals Association, and when I was a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In the course of this collation and publication, the titles and contents of some manuscripts were revised according to the style and requirements of the manuscripts, and the relevant materials and data were verified and revised.
From the perspective of the whole book, it mainly discusses the following eight aspects: First, promote cultural prosperity and build a publishing power. We will continue to pay attention to the issue of China's leap from a publishing power to a publishing power, and study and put forward specific goals, development ideas and measures to build a publishing power. The second is to improve the quality of publication and produce more high-quality masterpieces. Masterpieces are an important symbol of cultural prosperity and publishing development, and they are also an urgent requirement to continuously meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the people. To this end, this paper deeply analyzes the historical opportunities and favorable conditions for doing a good job in the work of high-quality printing, and studies and puts forward the main ideas, basic requirements and key points of work for strengthening the work of high-quality printing. The third is to carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and do a good job in sorting out and publishing ancient books. Thousands of years of Chinese publishing treasure trove has accumulated rich cultural resources and publishing resources. According to preliminary statistics, there are 200,000 kinds of ancient classics (published before 1911) in China. In view of the new situation and new requirements of the collation and publication of ancient books, the ideas and measures for comprehensively promoting the collation and publication of ancient books are proposed. Fourth, promote transformation and integration, and promote the high-quality development of publishing. Since 2010, I have been focusing on and researching the transformation of traditional publishing to digital publishing. With the rapid development of technology, this paper puts forward ideas and measures to accelerate the deep integration of publishing and promote the high-quality development of publishing. Fifth, we should further promote reading for all people and strive to build a scholarly society. In 2006, the General Administration of Press and Publication, together with relevant departments, organized and launched a nationwide reading campaign. On the issue of in-depth promotion of national reading, research and put forward opinions and suggestions on establishing and improving long-term mechanisms and strengthening national reading legislation. Sixth, strengthen foreign exchanges and cooperation, and promote China's publishing industry to "go global". In the face of the new trend and new requirements of Sino-foreign publishing exchanges and cooperation, this paper studies and puts forward measures and suggestions to promote the "going out" of Chinese publishing from the aspects of improving the quality of content, telling Chinese stories well, building a "going out" platform, and optimizing the structural layout. Seventh, stick to the original mission and build a first-class journal. In view of the new challenges faced by the periodical industry, this paper puts forward opinions and suggestions to promote the prosperity and development of journals in the new era from the aspects of benchmarking with world-class, strengthening content construction, accelerating integration and innovation, and promoting industrial upgrading. Eighth, strengthen the construction of qualified personnel and lay a good foundation for development. Combined with the current situation and problems faced by publishing talents, this paper studies and puts forward opinions and suggestions on the basic requirements, key directions, and main measures for strengthening the construction of publishing talents. The selected articles in the book generally reflect my thinking, understanding and research results on the press and publishing industry during this period, and I hope that the materials and research results provided in the book will have certain historical value and research value, and can be used as a reference for readers.
