新中国文学出版与阅读(1949—1966)

Literature Publishing and Reading in New China (1949-1966)

新中国对文学作品的创作、出版、阅读极为重视。新中国成立初期,国家先后创办了一批文学图书出版机构,如人民文学出版社、上海文艺出版社、作家出版社等,其间对私营文学出版机构进行了改造,均为文学出版奠定了一定的基础。1949年至1966年,我国文学图书出版数量经历了由少到多,再由多到少的变化,先后出版了一大批优秀的中国文学图书,数量颇丰,汗牛充栋,这与我国当时社会背景有关,也是基于对读者喜爱程度的考量。在文学图书出版取得显著成就的同时,国家层面开展了对古典文学出版与阅读的舆论引导,为文学出版与阅读营造了良好的氛围。

New China attaches great importance to the creation,publication and reading of literary works.In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,the state successively established a number of literary work publishing institutions,such as the People’s Literature Publishing House,Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House,Writers’Publishing House,and etc.,which reformed the private literary publishing institutions and laid a certain foundation for literary publishing.During the period of 1949-1966,the literature publishing has undergone great changes in almost every aspect and the quantities in particular:the change from fewer publications to more and from more publications to fewer.It is the latter which has nurtured a large number of excellent Chinese literature works,whose publications are closely related to the social background but also based on the readers’liking.While literary works publishing has made remarkable achievements,the state has carried out public opinion guidance on the publication of classical literature,which has created a good atmosphere for literary publishing and reading.
