From September 1949 to September 1954, the Ministry of culture of the Central People's government was established, and the work of the Ministry of culture was guided by the culture and Education Committee of the Administrative Council.

From September 1954 to June 1970, it was established as the Ministry of culture of the people's Republic of China. The second office of the State Council assisted the premier to take charge of the work of the Ministry of culture. From June 1970 to January 1975, according to the plan for streamlining the structure of the State Council, the Ministry of culture was abolished and the culture group of the State Council was established. In January 1975, the cultural group was abolished and the Ministry of culture was established.

In 1982, the institutional reform of the State Council merged it with the Ministry of culture, the state Publishing Bureau, the State Administration of cultural relics, and the foreign language publishing and Distribution Bureau to establish the Ministry of culture of the people's Republic of China.

In June 1987, the administration of cultural relics of the Ministry of culture was changed into the State Administration of cultural relics, which is still under the leadership of the Ministry of culture. However, it exercises its functions and powers independently, and plans, finance and material distribution are listed separately.

In 1988, the State Council carried out institutional reform, merging the Ministry of culture, the foreign cultural Liaison Committee, the State Administration of publishing, the State Administration of cultural relics, and the foreign language publishing and Distribution Bureau to establish the Ministry of culture of the people's Republic of China.
