Tabloid was produced in the Northern Song Dynasty and was popular in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although it was repeatedly banned by the imperial court, it was never eradicated and was discovered in subsequent dynasties. It is the official who entered the performance who compiled and distributed the legal official newspaper, and at the same time copied the materials that "the order was not done, and the difference was undecided". At that time, the central authorities and many important departments of Kaifeng government visited the news for it, and there were fresh secrets in the tabloids that were forbidden by the official newspapers they visited, so people secretly called them news.

In the second year of Beixianping (AD 999), the emperor sent a letter to Yuefu every five days to copy the contents to the Privy Council, the highest military organ in the central government, and the Privy Council examined and approved it, resulting in a sample of Emperor's Newspaper, which Yuefu officials were required to send according to. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Dibao was changed to a provincial edition, and the "final edition" after "reviewing newspapers" in the province was sent to Jinzouyuan for the world. This is the earliest news censorship system in China-the "final edition" system.

Fang Jing Newspaper began in the late Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. It doesn't have the name of official newspaper, but it has the fact of official newspaper. Its content is basically copying the palace gate, imperial edicts and memorials. Beijing Daily has no news and remarks, punctuation and headlines. Beijing Daily sold its people openly, which expanded its spread. At the same time, it also provided news materials for modern newspapers run by foreigners in the Qing Dynasty, but it eventually disappeared with the development of modern newspapers.
