Features: Mr. Ren Jiyou (Director of the National Library): The reason why the Chinese nation has attracted the attention of the world is largely due to the profound influence of its long-standing cultural traditions, and the material manifestations of these traditions are the vast Chinese ancient books. Beyond Confucian scholars, other literate individuals from various social strata were often referred to as "Confucian doctors," "Confucian merchants," and "Confucian generals," etc. Such designations reflect that our ancient civilization tends to measure its depth of literary culture.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghang (National Scholar): The vast collection of ancient books in our country, as well as the culture they embody, has been preserved for millennia without decline. We cannot help but thank our ancestors who cherished and studied books. While other countries may have similar traditions of collecting and reading books, as far as I know, they are far inferior to those in China. Therefore, I came to understand the profound truth that 'China is the world's most book-loving nation.'
