Abstract
The manuscript is devoted to identifying the types and political characteristics of ancient Chinese newspapers. The study of the history of journalism is an important part of the study of Chinese history and, at the same time, contributes to a clear understanding of modern processes. The scientific discourse discusses historical and cultural factors influencing the development of modern journalism. Meanwhile, studying the history of ancient Chinese journalism is no less important than studying modern journalism in a given country. The article analyzes the socio-political conditions of the birth of newspapers in ancient China, the activities of their publishers, the political goals and content of newspapers, the audience, and interaction with the ruling authorities. A comparative analysis of ancient Chinese official, private legal and illegal publications is given. The author analyzes scientific sources based on the principle of historicism, such general scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction. The main research methods are historical-genetic and historical typological.
