The publication of the translation of Peking Gazette by North-China Herald Office began in 1850 when “The North-China Herald” was first published and finally ended at the end of the 19th century. Peking Gazette is also known and used by more Western readers through the great influence of English newspapers under the jurisdiction of North-China Herald Office. These translations provided western readers with rich knowledge about China in the late Qing Dynasty, enhanced their understanding and understanding of the events from the court to the social customs in the late Qing Dynasty, and on this basis, exerted an important influence on the historical process of Sino-Western relations in the middle and late 19th century.
