In the period of the Chinese Republic after the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the whole structure of state collapsed, great changes occurred in all the spheres: knowledge policy, economy and culture. As an object of human knowledge and thought, books are also closely related to the historical change. Under the infl uence of that time, book design
was affected by the thought of constructivism from abroad. Based on the interpretation of Russian constructivism and Western design trends, this paper studied the causes of their infl uence on the books of the Republic of China, and particularly their infl uence on the cover design of books.
