A survey taken by the China Periodicals Association in early 2001 revealed that there were only 23 periodicals in China with a circulation of over one million. The top ten included Duzhe (" Reader "), a twice-monthly publication which gathers together outstanding articles from other sources, Qingnian Wenzhai (" Youth Digest"), Jiating (" Family ") and the twice-monthly Jiating Yisheng (" Family Doctor").
以二○○一年初「中國期刊協會」的調查，大陸發行超過百萬冊的雜誌期刊有二十三家，前十名包括集結精彩文章的「讀者」半月刊、「青年文摘」，生活類型的「家庭」、「家庭醫生」半月刊等等。
