\tThe Minbao \u6c11\u62a5 "People's News" (this is not an official translation) was the political organ of the Tongmenghui Party \u540c\u76df\u4f1a, the predecessor of the Guomindang \u56fd\u6c11\u515a. The newpaper was established in T\u014dky\u014d where the first number appeared on November 26, 1905. It was forbidden by the Japanese government in October 1908 with the number 24 was to be distributed secretly through 1910 on, with the number 26 being the last. The editors were Hu Hanmin \u80e1\u6c49\u6c11, Zhang Binglin \u7ae0\u70b3\u9e9f, and Wang Jingwei \u6c6a\u7cbe\u536b. Among the authors were, except the editors, Chen Tianhua \u9648\u5929\u534e, Zhu Zhixin \u6731\u6267\u4fe1, Liao Zhongkai \u5ed6\u5fe0\u607a, Song Jiaoren \u5b8b\u6559\u4ec1, Huang Kan \u9ec4\u4f83, and many others.<\/p>\n
\tThe editorial department of the newpaper was in the center of the party, while the distribution office was provided by Miyazaki Moshikuma \u5bab\u5d0e\u5bc5\u85cf (better known with his style T\u014dten \u6ed4\u5929). In China there were only six distribution bureaus in the beginning, for the second issue 15, and already 38 for the third issue.<\/p>\n
\tThe irregularly appearing newspaper Minbao served as a political propaganda instrument of Sun Yat-sen (Sun Wen \u5b59\u6587) and his political thought, mostly referred to as the "Three principles of the people" (sanmin zhuyi \u4e09\u6c11\u4e3b\u4e49). The revolutionary undertone of Sun's political programme was the main reason for the newpaper's prohibition, less his fervent nationalist attitude. It was in first place not the Japanese government who enacted the prohibition but the Chinese government, supported by many Chinese intellectuals which rather liked to see reform (gailiang \u6539\u826f) instead of revolution (geming \u9769\u547d). The newspaper of the former was the Xinmin congbao \u65b0\u6c11\u4e1b\u62a5 "Assembled reports to a new people".
