12. Eight hundred and twenty-six essays on the subject were published between 1950 and 1985. The following figures show a fluctuating interest during the earlier years and definitely a greater interest in recent years: 61 essays were published between 1950 and 1960, an average of about six a year; 101 essays were published between 1961 and 1965, slightly over 20 a year; but during the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, only 55 essays appeared, no more than five a year. From 1977 to 1985, 609 essays were published at an annual average of nearly 68, 13.5 times as many as in the previous decade. The last six years have been especially productive: 571 essays were published, about 95 a year. These figures reflect the growing concern of Chinese historians with the subject.
