Phoenix Publishing House (Chinese: 凤凰出版社), formerly known as Jiangsu Ancient Books Publishing House (JSNP, Chinese: 江苏古籍出版社), founded in 1984 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province specializes in collating and publishing historical texts, regional archives, and scholarly works on Chinese traditional culture.[1] Originally a state-owned entity under the Jiangsu Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, it transitioned to being a market-oriented enterprise in 2001 while retaining its academic focus.[2] Phoenix has also expanded its presence internationally, including operations in the United States through Phoenix Book Publishers, a New York–based publishing and ghostwriting service.
History
editThe press is renowned for its Jiangsu Local Documents Series, which compiles rare Ming-Qing dynasty manuscripts and the Jiangnan Cultural Archives, a multi-volume project documenting Jiangsu's literary and artistic heritage. It has digitized over 5,000 historical records since 2010 through its Jiangsu Classics Database, partnering with institutions including Nanjing University in the city.[3]
Notable publications include annotated editions of The Chronicles of Suzhou (2015) and Huizhou Merchant Archives (2020). JSNP collaborates with the Harvard-Yenching Institute and other entities for translations of classical Chinese texts. In October 2002, approved by the General Administration of Press and Publication, the company became Phoenix Publishing House[4] and in September 2008, the name was changed to Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing House Co.[5]
