This set of six bar charts measure the relative importance of the three main types of discursive styles (or "ages") used in the advertisements published in the Shanghai-based British newspaper North China Daily News. For consistency reasons, the measurements have been made in the samples as used for the Chinese newspaper Shenbao: January 7, 1914; January 3, 1924; January 5, 1934; February 1, 1941; January 1, 1949. In order to facilitate comparisons, we have also used the same typology and color color as for the Shenbao.
