The earliest documentary could be traced back to China in 1902. At that time, a documentary called "China in the 28th Year of Guangxu" was filmed, which was considered to be the earliest moving image in China. In addition, the representative work of China's new documentary movement was Wu Wenguang's Wandering Beijing, which was regarded as China's first true documentary. This film recorded the director's life as an artist towards the other five wandering artists. Therefore, China could be considered one of the birthplaces of documentaries.

The earliest comics were difficult to define, and different regions had different situations. In China, although there was no clear modern term for "comics" in ancient times, there were similar comics (works with satirical and critical meaning) as early as the pre-Qin period. The famous "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of the Ming Dynasty was recorded in pictures and texts. There were hundreds of pictures with different expressions, which was the basis and inspiration for many later comics. As far as was known, the earliest use of the word "comic" in China was in the inscription of the painting "Arrow Wall" written by Chen Shizeng in 1909. The earliest work that was called a comic was Feng Zikai's painting in the May 1925 issue of the Literature Weekly. In Japan, the Heian era (794 - 1192), the "Bird and Beast Character Play Painting" is the oldest existing "manga";. The Japanese believe that the word "manga" originated from the "Hokusai Manga" painted by the Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai during the Edo period (1603 - 1868). However, this is the earliest origin of the concept of the name, not the birth of the form of manga. It was only in 1902 that the term "manga" officially appeared in Japan. The world's first anime was the 1906's "Humorous Portrait of a Comical Face," but it was produced on "standard film", using grid photography and paper-cutting art, which was different from the anime seen today.

The earliest field of novels was myths and legends. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, there were often stories describing heroes, monsters, mythological characters, and so on. These stories were used to describe the origin of humans, the power of the natural gods, and the relationship between humans and gods. These stories were widely spread and became the prototype of later novels.
