Studies on the history of the book in imperial China have so far focused on the activities of commercial publishers, whose imprints outnumbered those of private and government publishers. Since the success of commercial publishers depended on their accurate response to and anticipation of the needs of their different readers, an examination of their works allows us to learn much about the cultural trends of the times. Analysis of government publishing, on the other hand, helps us to understand the state's policies toward the preservation, dissemination, standardization, and (attempted) control of information. Knowledge about private publishers can also elucidate the development of intellectual culture and the evolution of the scholar-official elite in late imperial China, though perhaps in a more sporadic fashion, since these imprints depended more on the interests of particular individuals
