China national geographic magazine
What is National Geographic? National Geographic is a publication type, which is suitable for the reading needs of high-quality adult readers. Many countries have established such magazines, such as Earth (GEO, Germany), National Geography (USA), Earth (The Earth, USA), Geography (UK), Canadian Geography, Australian Geography, Science et Vie (France), World (USA), Natural History (USA), ... These magazines all convey natural care and humanistic feelings.
Chinese national geography is the most growing magazine in China. 1April 949, Nanjing was liberated. In order to meet the needs of the changing times, researchers from China Institute of Geography in Nanjing and geography teachers from Nanjing University, under the leadership of Nanjing Branch of Chinese Scientists Association, held many discussions with middle school geography teachers and agreed that they needed a learning publication with knowledge and self-education ability. This publication should first publish a certain level of geography textbooks to make up for the lack of perfect geography textbooks at that time; Secondly, provide necessary geographical news and knowledge for cadres, college students and the masses at all levels; Third, as a geographer and a learning garden.
But then, everything was in full swing. It is not easy to start a publication. Zhou, Wu Chuanjun, Gao Yongyuan, Shi Yafeng, Li, Hu Huocheng, Yang, and other enthusiastic geographers decided to edit and publish a popular reading "Geographical Knowledge" after many heated discussions. Professor Li, director of the geography department of Nanjing University, was elected as the editor-in-chief. In the process of publishing, the first problem is that the publishing and printing expenses have not been settled. At that time, the salary was very low, so everyone volunteered to donate money and found a small printing factory with low price to print. At the same time, they applied for a registration certificate from Nanjing Arms Control Committee in the name of the geographical group of the Association for Science and Technology. After intense preparation, the first issue of Geographical Knowledge, the earliest popular science publication in the field of geography, was finally published at 1950+0. This "inaugural issue" has only eight thin faces, and * * * has published six short articles and several messages, with an introduction written by Shi Yafeng on the cover. Only 600 copies were printed in the inaugural issue, but it was immediately welcomed and praised by geographers and middle school geography teachers. With the continuous expansion of the influence of publications and the continuous improvement of the quality and editing level of articles, Jin Qingyu, president of Shanghai Yaguang Geographical Society, was favored and offered to contribute to the printing. So from the eighth issue 1950, it was published and sold by Yaguang Geographic Society, and the print run was expanded to more than 2,000 copies.
Dean Guo Moruo inscribed the title of Geographical Knowledge, which was later renamed Geography. 1966 restored the original title.
Shortly after Yaguang Geographic Society received the printing, the printing quality was improved, which was welcomed by readers and valued by the central government. 195 1 At the beginning of the year, the editorial department suddenly received a letter from the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC, praising the publication and asking for the number of published issues. At that time, Comrade Xu Teli, then deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, also made an interview with Shi Yafeng, giving great encouragement and encouragement to geographical knowledge. The editorial department holds a monthly meeting of the 1-2 editorial board to discuss the matters of soliciting contributions and reviewing manuscripts. Several activists who participated in the publication actively wrote manuscripts to enrich the sources and ensure the quality of manuscripts, and the number of foreign manuscripts increased day by day. 195 1 was published by Beijing Ming Kai Bookstore in July and later renamed Youth Publishing House. 1953 the institute of geography of China academy of sciences was established, and the editorial department of geographical knowledge is affiliated to the institute. Guo Moruo, the dean, personally wrote "Geographical Knowledge". The title of Guo Laoti was officially launched from the issue of 1954. In the same year, 10 was published by Science Press. In the 1950s, geographical knowledge mainly introduced the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and the national economic construction. Under the slogan of learning from the Soviet Union, a large number of publications were published on the achievements of socialist construction in the Soviet Union, the implementation of the five-year plan and the introduction of the newly established socialist countries in Eastern Europe. The ranks of authors are constantly expanding.
Under the call of the whole Party and the whole people to provide food for agriculture, take agriculture as the foundation and serve agriculture, the editorial policy of Geographical Knowledge could not keep up with the needs of the situation, and it was closed for rectification from August 1960 to February 12. 196 1 year 1 month, geographical knowledge appeared with a new look and was renamed geography. After reorganization, Geography became an intermediate publication. After five years' practice, it is considered that the editorial policy of focusing on popularization and improving on the basis of popularization has not been seriously implemented, and the published manuscripts are in-depth and professional, neither like intermediate publications nor popular science books. For a time, it was also compiled by regional institutions in turn, and there was a lack of close communication between institutions, which led to a decline in the quality of publications. Readers have put forward many opinions and suggestions. They need a popular publication that breaks the "old box" and "foreign box", opposes tedious articles, and requires short, concise, lively and illustrated. Therefore, with the approval of relevant departments, the topic of geographical knowledge has been restored since the second issue 1966. From May, 65438 to May, 0966, an unprecedented "Cultural Revolution" broke out in China, and Geographical Knowledge, like other publications, was doomed to be closed.
One of the earliest reprinted publications during the Cultural Revolution, with a circulation of 400,000 copies.
1June, 972 to 10/October, Geographical Knowledge, which was closed for six years, was the first to be reissued in the late period of the Cultural Revolution. Under the leadership of the Institute of Geography and the Geographical Society of China, the editorial department consists of Gao Yongyuan, Li Rushen, Zhu Dexiang, Zhang Qingxiang, Zheng Ping and Li Zhihua. Gao Yongyuan is the director in charge of the preparatory work. First, the soldiers are divided into two roads, to Beijing-Guangzhou and Beijing-Shanghai. [6] shape? ⒏ㄔ Box 5 乩乩樯樯樯樯樯樯樯樯樯樯樯樯 Hey hey?

Sorry, but I don't know what to do. Ding Fuchun? South? Iii in prison? Spring? Bitch? What's the point? Proverbs tomb? Did you escape in the dark? Bamu becomes a king?
The re-publication of Geographical Knowledge closely combined with the situation at that time. As the editor said in the re-publication number, this magazine is a publication for popularizing geographical science. Under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, it is the fundamental task of this magazine to popularize geographical knowledge to the broad masses of workers, peasants and soldiers, educated youth and revolutionary cadres. It also stipulates that the contents of publication are: introducing the magnificent rivers and mountains of the great motherland and the ever-changing geographical features; Introduce the rich experience of China working people in transforming nature; Introduce the geographical situation of countries around the world to help people understand and care about international affairs; Introduce various geographical phenomena and general laws that occur in nature; Exchange the experience and understanding of geography teaching, and at the same time take criticizing various bourgeois ideas in geography as one of the contents.
The second edition of geographical knowledge is divided into three columns: domestic geography, foreign geography and basic knowledge. 32 pages per issue, monthly, priced at 0. 13 yuan, 1972, 10-65438+ February * * issued three issues. However, at that time, due to the closure of factories and schools, geographers also stopped their research work, resulting in a shortage of paper and manuscript sources. Published in the second year, changed to bimonthly until the first half of the year 1975. After July 1975, it resumed as a monthly magazine with a price of 0. 15 yuan, which was stable for 6 years. Readers think Geographical Knowledge is a cheap publication. There were few publications at that time. Although Geographical Knowledge is listed as a restricted publication (because of economic reasons, the post office listed it as a restricted publication), its circulation has also rapidly increased to nearly 400,000 copies, which is a flower. Now is the hot age of geographical knowledge. Journals are like forests, and the competition is fierce; Geographical knowledge struggled into the 1980s. With the re-publication of various old publications and the emergence of a large number of new publications, geographical knowledge with simple binding and adhering to the old tradition is gradually submerged in the forest of periodicals. In 1982, the circulation dropped to more than 200,000 copies, and in 1988, only 100 copies remained.
In order to get out of the predicament, all colleagues in the editorial department worked hard to open up ideas and seek reform, and realized four-color printing in 1989. In order to get rid of the old system, 1993, without any financial support from the organizer, took the lead in breaking away from the science publishing house, founded the magazine Geographical Knowledge, and began to design, typeset and contact the printing house by itself. In 1995, four color inserts were added to the color cover, and the number of pages increased from 32 to 48. However, although the quality of periodicals has been further improved, it has not jumped out of the traditional old frame, and with the continuous emergence of trendy magazines, the circulation of such periodicals has continued to decline.
The excellent situation of reform and opening up has broadened our horizons. The editors of Geographical Knowledge were not intimidated by the slow release. Instead, they were encouraged to look to National Geographic magazine. At the editorial meeting, they talked about the editorial style and content of National Geographic from time to time, and discussed how to make Geographic Knowledge a high-level magazine. At this time, some readers conveyed such a hope by phone and letter: I wish China could have a magazine like National Geographic!
The editor's wish and the reader's hope are condensed into one goal: to run a chinese national geography in line with international standards. In order to achieve this goal,1May 1997, the Institute of Geography was transferred to the South Pole and the North Pole for scientific research. Li Shuanke, a researcher who had climbed Mount Everest, came to the magazine as the president and began a comprehensive review of geographical knowledge.
